Clarifications

1. The fix for CSCdu50924 has changed the behavior of SWSW with respect to CM parameters 9 (reroute timer) and 10 (reset timer on line fail). Derouted connections are now eligible for routing immediately, irrespective of the values of CM parameters 9 and 10 and the time of the last reroute. This also means that CM parameter 10 is effectively obsolete.

Previously, if CM parameter 9 was set to a value greater than 0 and CM parameter 10 was set to No, a connection would not be eligible for routing until the time specified by CM parameter 10 had passed since its last reroute. This was true even if the connection was derouted and a route was available. Therefore, the goal of the fix to CSCdu50924 is to get derouted connections routed as soon as possible.

2. Release 9.2.31 introduced a new command—cnffdrlmiparms—which makes the feeder LMI timers and counters configurable. This command is currently supported on BPX only and cannot be added in the Job mode.

Usage: cnffdrlmiparms slot.port T393 T394 T396 N394 N395

where slot.port specifies the feeder trunk to configure. The details of the other parameters are as follows:

3. In Release 9.2.31 the system parameter 2 (cnfsysparm 2) is changed from "Fail Connections On Communication Break" to "Allow CPU Starvation of Fail Handler."

The old parameter has been removed as it violated the principle of the separating control and data plane. The new parameter allows a new feature to be turned off, which gives CPU to the Fail Handler at the expense of the Transaction Handler in case the Fail Handler does not get scheduled for a long time.

4. Do not mix MEE and MEF (or higher) in Y-red pairs for BXM 2-port group enhanced cards (OC-3 or OC-12 port). addyred will fail if both are in standby mode, or the primary card has been activated with MEF (or higher) and the secondary card has MEE.

5. For the BXM 2-port group, enhanced cards activated with MEF or higher, downrev to MEE will bring the cards into MISMATCH mode. This applies to both single cards and Y-red pairs.

6. Release 9.2.30 introduced four new commands in BPX:

addctrlr to add VSI capabilities to a trunk interface to which a Feeder of type AAL5 is attached. This command is basically run as the second step in adding a PNNI controller.

delctrlr to delete VSI capabilities from a trunk interface to which a Feeder of type AAL5 is attached. This command is basically run as the first step in deleting a PNNI controller.

cnfvsipart to configure VSI partition characteristics. Currently, we can only enable VSI ILMI functionality using this command.

dspvsipartcnf to display VSI partition characteristics. Currently, this command only displays information about VSI ILMI functionality.

7. There are changes in the following commands starting from Release 9.2.30:

cnfrsrc

Allow start VPI = 0 for a VSI partition on a port interface, provided there is only one VSI partition on the port interface.

Prevent second VSI partition from being enabled on a port interface if the first VSI partition uses a start VPI = 0.

Prevent a VSI partition from being disabled on a trunk interface if a PNNI controller is attached to the trunk interface controlling partition being disabled.

cnfport

Prevent disabling ILMI protocol on a port interface, if a VSI ILMI session is active on a VSI partition on the port interface.

Prevent configuring ILMI protocol on port interfaces to run on the BCC, if a VSI ILMI session is active on a VSI partition on the port interface.

cnftrk

Prevent configuring ILMI protocol on a trunk interface to run on the BCC, if a VSI ILMI session is active on a VSI partition on the trunk interface.

addshelf

Prevent adding a feeder to a trunk, if VSI ILMI session is active on a VSI partition on the trunk interface.

8. The multiple partitions introduce two VSI partitions on trunk and port interfaces on the BXM card. One partition can be used for MPLS, and one can be used for PNNI. Virtual Trunk can have only one VSI partition or can be used for AutoRoute, but cannot be used for both VSI and AutoRoute simultaneously. This project introduces six service class templates in addition to the three existing templates.

Even though tag ABR is supported in Service Class Template (SCT), neither the MPLS controller nor the BXM firmware currently support this.

The configurable VPI/VCI introduces 2 new parameters in addctrlr and addshelf commands, through which the user can specify the VPI and VCI of the master-slave control channels.

9. There is a change in reporting of port group numbers in Release 9.2.32. Previous image (MEC) of BXM used to report a 1-port group for the 2-port group cards at the channel statistics level 2 and 3. This made the port belonging to second port group unusable.

For enhanced BXM cards, upgrade to 9.2.30 software first and then burn the BXM card with the MEE or higher firmware, BXM will report 2-port groups for 2-port cards all the time. The smooth transition between the earlier 1-port group and the newly reported 2-port groups also displays the message in dspcd "Inconsistency with logical PG #" (port group number). All earlier software will "mismatch" the card.

If the BXM card is programmed with MEC or earlier firmware revision, the channel statistics for level 2 or 3 will report 1-port group for enhanced BXM cards. Burning an MEE or higher image will result in 2-port groups, but for backwards compatibility the software will not do the recomputation of LCNs based on the new port groups. In its logical database, this will not impact the AutoRoute connections.

For VSI controllers the reported value will be higher than the actual available LCNs. That means a VSI controller may not be able to add connection even though the available connections are non-zero. If the user wishes to remove the above discrepancy, the card must be brought to the standby mode.

Note that the newly configured card or the card in standby mode programmed with MEE or higher image brought to the active state will not have above discrepancy.

10. In BPX nodes that use processor cards with 32 MB of RAM, it is possible to run out of memory in the Hitless Region. This can happen if the node is too heavily configured with cards and connections. The recommendation below should prevent memory aborts.

In nodes that have processor cards with 64 MB of RAM, there should be no Hitless Region memory problem. This is because 64 MB processors contain a second Hitless Region, which is larger than the first.

The following calculation will help prevent memory aborts on BPX processors with 32 MB. For simplicity, the numbers are approximate. It is necessary to add up the number of cards in the node, as well as the number of connections, and make sure that the total does not exceed the recommendation.

During system initialization, roughly 17,100 blocks of the available 40,000 are used for the card database.

In addition, assume that 1500 blocks will be needed for each BXM card that can support 16K connections, which is the more common configuration. Some BXM cards can support 32K connections, and these will need 3000 blocks of the Hitless Region. This chunk of memory is allocated at the insertion of the BXM card and will not be released until a card of different type is inserted.

Also, 300 blocks will be needed for each 1000 via connections on the node. This can be viewed with the user command dspload.

17100 blocks for card database 1500 blocks for EACH BXM that supports 16K conns 3000 blocks for EACH BXM that supports 32K conns 300 blocks for EACH 1000 conns ----------------------------------------------------------------- 40000 blocks maximum total (34000 blocks for 9.2 releases up to 9.2.23)

11. The minimum software required to run MPLS are:

BPX Switch Software Release 9.2.10 or later

BXM firmware must be MEA or later

IOS Software Release 12.0(5)T (refer to IOS Release Note)

Virtual Switch Interface (VSI) 2.2

The BPX with an external 7x00 label switch controller (router) with Switch Software Release 9.2.10 and IOS Release 12.0(5)T can function as an ATM-LSR. The enhancements to dynamic label switching that was supported in Release 9.1 include support for MPLS Class of Service. The BPX as an ATM-LSR supports the "Multi-Label VC" model to support MPLS Class of Service. Five Qbins (Qbin 10-14) are reserved for MPLS Class of Service. Class-based WFQ is supported on these IP queues.

The BPX can also function as a "P" ATM-LSR in the MPLS-VPN architecture.

Hot redundancy of MPLS connections on the BPX is supported by BXM hot card redundancy. Continuous message forwarding, and keep-alive between the BXM redundant pair ensures the connection continuity on BXM switchover. On failure of a BXM card, the standby card becomes active with the label VCs. Resynchronization between the MPLS label switch controller and the BPX ensures that their databases are in sync.

12. The 16K connections feature increases the number of connections terminating on the BPX switch to 16,000. The count includes connections terminating on BXM or ASI endpoints on cards within the node as well as connections terminating on service modules in the feeder shelves connected to the BPX switch. For example, a Frame Relay connection that originates on an FRSM in an MGX 8220 connected to a BPX counts as one of the 16,000 terminated connections on that BPX.

This feature requires a BCC-3-64 or BCC-4 controller in the BPX as well as Switch Software 9.2.10 or higher.

13. Version 2.2 of the Virtual Switch Interface (VSI) provides the BPX switch with the ability to support multiple network protocols and multiple controllers per switch (for example, MPLS, PNNI, and so on). Switch resources can be dedicated to a specific controller or shared by multiple controllers.

This feature is supported on BXM ports, trunks, and virtual trunks and requires a BCC-3-64 or BCC-4 controller in the BPX as well as Switch Software 9.2.10 or higher and firmware MEA or higher.

Following are the VSI features:

Support for only one partition, that is, a port or a trunk can be partitioned into one VSI partition along with AutoRoute.

A Virtual Trunk interface cannot have both VSI and AutoRoute simultaneously. It has to be either VSI or AutoRoute only.

There are nine Service Class Templates (SCTs) defined. SCT 1 is used for interfaces exclusively for MPLS. SCT 2 and 3 are respectively used for ports and trunk interfaces, which are exclusively used for PNNI. SCT 4 onwards are used for interfaces that are used for both MPLS and PNNI.

Master Redundancy is supported, that is, multiple controllers can control the same partition.

Only one controller can be added per trunk interface.

14. The combinations of system limits such as the number of trunks, lines, ports, and connections as well as enabled TFTP interval statistics should be provisioned so that the node has at least 50 percent idle time usage. Use the command dspprfhist to verify.

15. When cost-based routing is used, increasing the cost of a trunk will result in deleting the preferred path on connections in the database if the sum of the preferred path cost exceeds the connection of configured cost. The connections will remain routed on its current path.

16. On the BXM and UXM, for the OC-3 MultiMode Fiber back cards, Y-Redundancy/hot standby is not supported due to hardware restrictions.

17. The trunk reconfiguration feature does not support IMA trunks.

18. An LCN Resynchronization feature was developed to maintain consistency between NPM and UXM connection databases when a switchcc occurs. IGX Software release 9.2.37 or later and UXM firmware Release ABK or later are required to implement this feature.

Special Installation/Upgrade Requirements

This section contains the installation procedures and upgrade requirements.

General/Upgrade Procedure


Note Consult a Support Representative before performing any software upgrade.


The earliest release supported for a graceful upgrade is 9.1.03.

Additional data is transferred from nodes to CWM by Switch Software Release 9.2.x and later. It is recommended that networks with greater than 15 nodes be divided into IP subnets of no more than 15 nodes per subnet. Dividing the nodes ensures that LAN gateway node serves no more than 15 nodes.

The exact number of nodes that can be served by a single gateway depends on the configuration of the nodes. However, the number of nodes in a subnet should not exceed 50 when running release 9.2.x. If too many nodes are served by a single gateway, the gateway node sustains low idle time and intermittent unreachability with other nodes in the network.

For configuration information refer to the Cisco WAN Manager Operations, Release 9.2 documentation located at the following URL:

Switch Software Version 9.2 requires a minimum of MED firmware for BXM Model E non-enhanced cards. MEE is the minimum required firmware for enhanced BXM cards.

Before upgrading to this release when UXM cards are to be used, certain legacy card firmware must be upgraded. See the compatibility matrix for cards affected and the exact versions to be used.


Note Standards-compliant IMA is not compatible with the proprietary IMA protocol used in revision A firmware. Both ends of an IMA trunk must have the same protocol.


To upgrade a UXM card, complete the following steps:


Note This procedure also applies to the UXME card.



Caution Failure to follow this procedure may result in the card not operating. The card should be returned to Cisco if this occurs.

Step 1 Verify the current boot code version.

To run Model B firmware on UXM, the card must be running boot code revision 6 or greater.

Step 2 To determine the boot code running on the card, issue the following command from CLI (user must be logged in as Service level or greater to use this command):

rsh <slot #> sys version

Step 3 Upgrade the UXM boot code if necessary.

The process for loading boot code is identical to the process of loading firmware. The only part that changes is the name of the file.


Note Burning the boot code causes the card to reset.


Step 4 Upgrade the UXM firmware.

Step 5 Use the following command to configure the red alarm in/out values to 1.25/1.5 seconds or greater:

cnftrkparm

When Y-redundant trunks are used, the red alarm in/out values must be configured to 1.25/1.5 seconds or greater. Otherwise, INVMUX failures occur, and trunk failures are observed during a Y-redundancy switchover. These failures are due to the IMA protocol and might cause connections to reroute.

Step 6 Upgrade NPM software to 9.2.


Use the following procedure for upgrading UXM-to-IMATM trunks from proprietary IMA protocol to ATM forum-compliant IMA protocol.


Step 1 Download and burn UXM boot code version 6 or later to all UXMs in the network.


Note After completing Step 1 the UXM cards resets and reroutes traffic to other trunks.


Step 2 To have firmware upgrade on the IGX, issue the following command to disable the UXM from resetting automatically after the firmware is burned in.

cnffunc 15 d

Step 3 On each MGX 8220 equipped with IMATM-B, upgrade the ASC to 5.0.10.

Step 4 Download the Forum Compliant Firmware Version IMATM5.0.10.fw but do NOT reset the IMATM-B card.

Step 5 On each UXM with IMA to be upgraded, burn firmware ABE or later to each UXM with IMA trunks.

Step 6 Simultaneously reset the card at each end of each IMA trunk to minimize trunk outage.

Step 7 Upgrade 9.1 nodes to 9.2 by executing the loadrev and runrev commands.

Step 8 Issue the command cnffunc 15 e after each IGX is upgraded to 9.2.20 or later.


Use the following procedure for upgrading UXM-to-UXM trunks from proprietary IMA protocol to ATM forum-compliant IMA protocol.


Note This procedure also applies to the UXME card.



Step 1 For Y-redundant UXMs, issue the command cnftrkparm 18 100000 100000 prior to this procedure and return to default values after this procedure.

Step 2 Download and burn UXM bootcode version 6 or later to all UXMs in the network. This will cause the card to reset and reroute traffic to other trunks.

Step 3 On IGX to have firmware upgraded, issue command cnffunc 15 d to disable the UXM from resetting automatically after the firmware is burned in.

Step 4 On each IGX-UXM with IMA to be upgraded, burn firmware ABE or later to each UXM with IMA trunks.

Step 5 Simultaneously reset the card at each end of each IMA trunk to minimize trunk outage.

Step 6 Upgrade 9.1 nodes to 9.2 via loadrev and runrev.

Step 7 Issue the command cnffunc 15 e after each IGX is upgraded to 9.2.20 or later.


Use the following procedure for upgrading BXM cards to the 9.2 firmware release for switches running

9.1 or 9.2 or earlier than 9.2.30 switch software,

BXM firmware earlier than MEC, and

BXM OC3/OC12 interface and the BXM is configured to channel statistic level 2 or higher.

To enable BXM cards to utilize 9.2 features, all BXM cards must be upgraded to the 9.2 firmware release.

Perform the following steps to avoid card mismatch for all BXM enhanced cards:


Note For upgrades from 9.1 to 9.2 you must limit the BXM-E card support to 32K connections instead of the default 60K connections.



Step 1 For upgrades from 9.1 to 9.2, ensure the BXM-E card is in standby mode without configurations.


Caution Bringing the card down to standby state is service impacting.

Step 2 Configure the card for channel statistics level 12 by entering the setnovram command.

Step 3 Upgrade BXM firmware to MEC.

Step 4 Upgrade BCC software to 9.2.30 or higher.

Step 5 Upgrade BXM firmware to MEE or higher.


For all other cases, complete the following steps:


Step 1 Upgrade BXM firmware to MED or higher.

Step 2 Upgrade BCC software to 9.2.30 or higher.



Note See the Compatibility Matrix for the exact versions to be used.


Use the following for adding new BCC cards as a part of upgrading to the 9.2 release:

If new BCC cards are to be installed as part of the upgrade to Release 9.2, then the physical card upgrade procedure described below must be completed as a separate activity from the Switch software upgrade.

If upgrading to BCC-4 cards on BPX 8600 nodes, complete the software upgrade first, followed by the BCC-4 physical card upgrade. If BCC-4 is already installed then upgrade as normal.

If any other type of BCC cards are being physically upgraded, complete the physical upgrade of the cards first, followed by the software upgrade.

Statistics collection must be disabled prior to and during the software upgrade process. The disabling must be done prior to the issuing of the first loadrev command.

Statistics sampling must be disabled prior to the issuing of the first loadrev command at the start of an upgrade. (Use the service level command off1/off2, turn off line statistic sampling, port statistic sampling, trunk statistic sampling, and connection statistic sampling.)


Note See the Compatibility Matrix for the tested/supported versions of other firmware and software that work with this release.


Complete the following steps for upgrading VSI 1.1 in Release 9.1 to VSI 2.2 in Release 9.2.


Step 1 Upgrade the Tag Switch Controller (TSC).

The TSC is upgraded to the CoS VSI Version Capable Release (IOS 12.XX). This image is VSI bilingual, meaning it understands both VSI Version 1 and Version 2.

Step 2 Upgrade the BXMs.

Upgrade all the BXM cards in the node to Model E, which is VSI Version 2 and CoS capable. After each BXM card is downloaded with the Model E image, it temporarily experiences VSI outage until the BCC software is upgraded. The VSI outage during the upgrade is caused by the Model E firmware not being backward compatible with VSI Version 1 features.


Note From the TSC perspective, after a BXM is upgraded to the Model E image, the interfaces that used to be on the card will "disappear." The TDP sessions that were on the interfaces will be lost. When all the BXMs are upgraded to the Model E while still running Release 9.1 software on the BCC, the node will experience a complete outage of MPLS traffic. AutoRoute will have a hitless upgrade.


Step 3 Upgrade the BCC.

As the BCC is upgraded from software Release 9.1 to the desired 9.2.3x release. The BCC recognizes the Model E BXMs and downloads the VSI partition configuration. This causes the BXMs to issue ifc cfg traps to the TSC, allowing the TSC to rediscover all the MPLS interfaces on the BPX. The TDP sessions are reestablished and MPLS traffic starts flowing again through the BPX.



Note The VSI 1.1 and VSI 2.2 are not interoperable.


Adding NTM Trunk Limitation

An NTM trunk cannot be added between a Release 9.1 node and a 9.2 node.

If an IGX node is upgraded from Release 9.1.x to Release 9.2.23 and above, adding trunk fails because of an incompatibility with the traffic parameters between the two releases. Executing the addtrk command results in one of the following error messages: Abandoned due to trunk parameters conflict or Abandoned because traffic classes conflict.

In an IGX node running Release 9.1 the bits for VBR-rt and VBR-nrt classes are 0 and are not used to verify traffic parameters. In Release 9.2 these bits are set and are checked to verify traffic parameters.

To workaround this limitation, down the trunk and up the trunk again in Release 9.2 so that the bit is set. Then add the two NTM trunks since both nodes are 9.2.

Revision Interoperability Supported

Revision interoperating upgrades are supported, from the 9.1 to 9.2 releases of Switch software, with secondary revision incorporation for network lowest revision. This will lessen the risk of new features being enabled in a mixed network after the downgrade.

A "Secondary Revision" field in the node is used for the determination of the network lowest revision. Previous to this change, software used only the nodes primary revision.


Note Due to interoperability, the lowest revision running on the node has to be Release 9.2 in order for the VBR-rt and VBR-nrt bits to be set. Check that the lowest revision is 9.2.23 by issuing the dsprevs command.


The interoperability functionality uses network lowest revision for:

Blocking the new feature unless network lowest revision is greater than or equal to the minimum supported revision for the feature

Control Card Requirements

All processor cards must be configured with a minimum of 32MB of RAM. This includes BCCs and NPMs. NPMs require at least 1MB of BRAM. To verify the BRAM size on IGX 8400 nodes, use the dspcd command.


Note If any control cards contain less than 32MB of DRAM (these would be NPMs) then they must be replaced with cards containing at least 32MB of DRAM prior to upgrading to Release 9.2. The physical upgrade of the nodes with these control cards must be done according to the upgrade procedure defined as follows.


Control Card Boot Firmware Requirements

As specified next, the correct version of control card (CC) boot firmware must be installed on the cards prior to a software upgrade to Release 9.2.

With the new version of NPM boot code (RXS), the boot code upgrading does not require physical card resetting with the following steps:


Step 1 Burn the boot code on the active NPM (1).

Step 2 Execute the switchcc command and wait until the NPM(1) becomes standby. NPM(2) is now active.

Step 3 Execute the resetcd command to reset the standby (resetcd 1 h). Wait until the reset card NPM(1) becomes standby.

Step 4 Burn the boot code on the active NPM(2).

Step 5 Execute the switchcc command and wait until the NPM(2) becomes standby. NPM(1) is now active.

Step 6 Execute the resetcd command to reset the standby (resetcd 2 h). Wait until the reset card NPM(2) become standby.


Control Card Compatibility Requirements

Each redundant pair of BCC cards in a given BPX 8600 node must be of the identical type and memory configuration. That is, for example, if the active card is a BCC-3-32, then so must be the standby. BCC-3 cards with 32MB of RAM cannot be mixed with BCC-3 cards with 64MB of RAM.

Each redundant pair of NPM cards in a given IGX 8400 node must be of the identical type and memory configuration. That is, for example, if the active card is an NPM-32, then so must be the standby. NPM cards with 32MB of RAM cannot be mixed with NPM cards with 64MB of RAM. Also, NPM-64 cards cannot be mixed with NPM-64B cards.

This is a requirement for all software upgrade and downgrade procedures. It does not apply to the physical card upgrade procedure, described in the following section.

Control Card Physical Card Upgrade Procedure

When performing a control card (CC) upgrade, the following procedure must be used. This applies to all processors: BCCs, and/or NPMs.


Step 1 Remove the current standby CC front and back card. (Remove back card only applies to BCC.)

Step 2 Replace with new CC front and back cards. (Replace back card only apply to BCC.)

Step 3 Wait for the standby updates on the newly installed standby CC to complete.

Step 4 Issue a switchcc command to utilize the newly installed CC.

Step 5 Verify that the network is stable.

Step 6 Remove the current standby CC front and back card. (Remove back card only applies to BCC.)

Step 7 Replace with new CC front and back cards that are identical to the current active CC. (Replace back card only apply to BCC)

Step 8 Wait for the standby updates on the newly installed standby CC to complete.

Step 9 The CC physical upgrade is now complete.

Step 10 With the secondary card in the standby state, cause a switchover using the switchcc command. This will test that the hardware is working correctly.



Note After Step 2, the node will contain a mix of an old type CCs and the new type CCs. This condition is permitted only while the standby updates to the new CC are in progress, which will take less than one hour. The time during which this mixture of CC types exists must be kept to a minimum by immediately replacing the second old type CC with the matching one of the new type.


Obsoleted

Starting from Release 9.2.00, the IPX is no longer supported.

VSI 1.0 is no longer supported.

FastPAD is no longer supported.

The noncompliant IMA trunking (Cisco proprietary) supported in Model A of UXM firmware is not supported in Release 9.2.

Notes and Cautions

This section contains notes and cautions for the SWSW releases.

Additional Notes for Release 9.2.45

None.

Additional Notes for Release 9.2.43

None.

Additional Notes for Release 9.2.41

None.

Additional Notes for Release 9.2

1. Switch Software Release 9.2 is not compatible with UXM firmware Model A.

2. If attempting to burn UXM firmware Model B into UXM firmware Model A with 9.2 software, the firmware Model B will not be burned into the UXM card due to the incompatibility of software 9.2 and UXM firmware Model A. The UXM has to be returned to Cisco for service.

3. If using MEC or earlier BXM firmware and upgrading to MEE or later, the version of switch software has to be upgraded first so that the enhanced BXM cards will report 2-port groups for 2-port cards all the time. The smooth transition between the earlier 1 port group and the newly reported 2-port groups also displays message in dspcd "Inconsistency with logical PG #" (port group number). All earlier software will mismatch the card. This applies to BXM-OC3 or BXM-OC12 and configured to channel statistic level 2 or higher.

4. Firmware MED and earlier supports APS Redundancy on Legacy BXM only.

5. Because of hardware limitations, BXM hardware is not able to recognize all user-programmed cell transmission rates. Rather only discrete transmission rates can be used instead.

The equation below shows what the BXM hardware actually transmits given a user configured cell rate. The transmitted cell rate is always less than or equal to the configured cell rate. To prevent any cell loss, the transmitted cell rate must be equal to the configured rate. To do so, a cell rate must be chosen from the table below.

The rate table below lists the highest 200 cell rates supported be BXM such that if used, will result in no cell loss (given cell traffic is less than configured cell rate). Additional rates can be calculated using 1470588/[n + (1/256)], where n is an integer.

The logic to calculate the actual cell transmission rate in a BXM card is as follows:

if (configured cell rate == full line cell rate) then transmitted cell rate = full line cell rate

else transmitted cell rate = from equation below or from table below

Example:

If a trunk is configured at 100,000 cells per second (cps), the actual transmitted cell rate is then 98,013 cps, any traffic sent over 98,013 cps would be discarded.

If a trunk is configured at 98,013 cps, then the actual transmitted cell rate is 98,013 cps with no cell loss.

Therefore, only rates in the table should be used. Otherwise, cell loss may be experienced. The table will not be exhausted at the end but still go on with the computing from the above equation.

6. On the BPX with MGX 8220 feeder(s), regardless of the setting of the Node Parameter "42 Enable Feeder Alert," a feeder alert message will be sent to all MGX 8220 feeders immediately before a hitless rebuild takes place. The feeder alert message will temporarily disable the LMI polling from the MGX 8220 feeders. The MGX 8220 polling will resume as soon as the BPX is ready to exchange LMI messages.

7. The amount of traffic allowed on a VP tunneling connection is two-thirds bandwidth of that connection. The minimum bandwidth must be 100 cells per second. For example, a CBR connection with a peak cell rate 1500 cps then can pass traffic up to 1000 cps.

Limitations

1. BME firmware MKA and MKB is not compatible with BPX Switch Software Release 9.2x and later.

2. For Switch Software 9.2, MPLS and PNNI controllers cannot coexist.

3. In Release 9.2.30 and later, nodes might declare a communication break when using the BXM virtual trunking feature. The problem has been observed under the following conditions:

At least two virtual trunks share a common port at one node, but their remote end points terminate on different nodes.

The virtual trunks are used to carry networking (rt_op) traffic.

The simplest example follows below:

node_A ------ vtrk ----- node_B -----vtrk -----node_C

On the above diagram, node_B is a virtual trunk share a common port

With this topology, "node_A" sees "node_C" as unreachable and vice-versa; however, "node_A" communicates to "node_B," and "node_B" communicates to "node_C."

The problem is caused by a misprogrammed trunk networking channel. In the above example, the misprogramming occurs at "node_B." A channel that should be programmed for ingress and egress operation is programmed as egress only.

Workarounds:

BXM firmware MEH and later contains the fix for this bug (CSCdr51875).

BXM virtual trunking (no VT wraparound) can still be implemented using Software Release 9.2.20 and higher.

If virtual trunks are not yet in use, the VT wraparound solution can be implemented in release 9.2.30 and higher (CSCdr51875).

4. When the cnfrsrc command is used to delete VSI partitions on an interface, software does not check if any Soft Permanent Virtual Circuit (SPVC) connections exists on that partition. Even if there are SPVC connections on a partition, the partition can be deleted using the cnfrsrc command. The only protection is that users are provided with a warning when they try to delete the partition.

If there are SPVC connections on a partition and if the partition is deleted, the SPVC connections will be left in a undefined and unrecoverable state. Hence, before deleting a VSI partition, ensure that all the SPVC connections are deleted on that partition.

5. For UVM cards, there will be no new revisions of Model A firmware. When attempting to download Model A firmware to a UVM, software will give the user an error message indicating that the firmware does not match the card type. Note that there is no problem with continuing to use existing UVM cards running the old firmware(CSCdp08741).

6. There is a new traffic class added in Release 9.2.20 that causes a trunk parameter conflict with pre-9.2.20 node. The conflict fails adding trunk between 9.2.20 BTM/ATM and pre- 9.2.20 BTM/ATM.

All ATM traffic classes are set for BTM/ALM trunks and is hidden to the user. The introduction of rt-VBR traffic class in 9.2.20 makes it different from pre-9.2.20 BTM/ALM trunk traffic class. The user can not change the ATM traffic class for BTM/ALM trunk.

This problem exists with a new BTM/ALM trunk on an upgraded 9.2.20 node but does not exist with an upgraded BTM/ALM trunk since the rt-VBR traffic class is not set while upgrading (CSCdm64345).

7. The cloud port to which a virtual trunk is connected should have ILMI polling disabled. Otherwise, it could lead to a virtual trunk being clear on one end and declaring Virtual Trunk Path Failure at the other end (CSCdm52909).

8. In a BPX that contains BCC cards with 64MB, there is no limitation. All 12 available slots can contain BXM or Enhanced-BXM cards.

In a BPX that contains BCC cards with 32MB, a maximum of 10 legacy BXM cards are allowed. If some Enhanced-BXM cards are used in place of BXM, then each Enhanced-BXM will count as two BXM cards.

9. For performance reasons, AIS status of connections is not sent to the standby BCC. After switchcc, it may take a few minutes to update the AIS status of connections. If dspcon does not show the proper status of AIS or the dspalms screen shows an incorrect number of AIS, (after switchcc) wait for few minutes so that the status gets updated. (The dspalms and dspcon commands show the status of AIS.)

10. Hitless rebuild has similar limitations to that of a switchcc and full rebuild:

On IGX nodes, there is a four second continuity break. (Same as in a switchcc.)

There might be brief communication breaks with other nodes in the network. This will be logged in the event log of the node. There is no traffic loss or trunk failures. (This is similar to a switchcc and depends highly on the network and number of connections.)

Some line/trunk cards that are in the standby state may reset during a hitless rebuild.

The statistics that are collected by the Cisco Wan Manager will not be maintained across a rebuild.

Some will be re-enabled automatically. These include:

Auto statistics

Summary statistics

Real-Time statistics

All other statistics have to be re-enabled for collection after a hitless rebuild takes place. These mainly include the user statistics.

11. UVM cards in Y-redundancy will mismatch if one is burned with Idle Code Suppression Firmware and the other is not.

When installing/burning Idle Code Suppression Firmware on UVM pairs, the Y-redundancy must be removed, firmware in both UVM cards burned, and then the Y-redundancy can be restored.

12. Mismatch is reported when replacing a BXM card with another BXM card that has a different port group, even though both BXM cards have the identical channel number.

13. When upgrading from Release 9.1 to 9.2, the 9.1 statistics on BXM/UXM cards are supported to maintain compatibility. However, once a user configures a statistics level in 9.2, the statistics cannot be configured back to 9.1 statistics.

There is no 9.1 statistics support for BXM/UXM cards that were shipped with 9.2 firmware since the BXM/UXM card has the default level 1 statistics.

Therefore, when using a UXM with 9.2, a user must either:

Leave the statistics level untouched (this will work for UXM cards upgraded from 9.1)

OR

Set level 2 on the card

14. The BXM and UXM channel statistics level feature gives these cards the capability of collecting more than four statistics per connection. However, it is the controller card's limitations, available memory, and performance, that indicates how many statistics can actually be collected from the cards and then reported to the Cisco Wan Manager (CWM).

The BCC-3-64 can collect at most three interval statistics per connection when there are 16,000 AutoRoute (AR) connections configured on the node. (Interval statistics are those statistics that are reported to the CWM. They are often referred to as TFTP statistics.)

You can collect approximately 48,000 statistics (3 x 16,000) on the BCC-3-64. This is approximate because there are many variables that will affect this value, such as are peaks enabled, how many buckets are collected, are all connection of the same type, are trunk, line or port statistics enabled, and so on.

With this approximation of 48,000 statistics on the BCC-3-64, this then means that as a rough estimate you could enable 32 statistics on 1,500 connections, 48 statistics on 1,000 connections or nine statistics on 5,000 connections, and so on. The approximation formula being:

max_stats_per_connection = 48,000/number_of_connections

15. In Release 9.1, the UXM card ran a proprietary IMA communication protocol. This protocol matched that used on the MGX 8220 4 IMATM-B cards and hence could be connected together to form a trunk. In Release 9.2, standards-compliant IMA are supported on the UXM card and standards-compliant IMATM-B on MGX 8220 5.0.x must be used to form a trunk. There should be no effect on UXM-IMA trunks connected to other UXM-IMA trunks in 9.1 to 9.2 interoperability mode.

16. The transmit rate on an IGX IMA trunk can be altered at the local node with any trunk outage. It is possible that the transmit rates are different at the two ends of an IMA trunk. After this trunk is deleted, it cannot be added back unless the transmit rates are the same.

17. When doing a flash upgrade from Release 9.1 to 9.2, the software error 1427 may be logged on the BPX/IGX node during a non-graceful upgrade. This error can be ignored since it is harmless to the network (CSCdm14613).

18. Reconfiguring trunk parameters might cause connections to be rerouted if the changed bandwidth load is smaller than what was used by the connections that use the trunk.

19. If LMI/ILMI is provided by the BCC:

The maximum possible number of ports on the BPX 8600 that can be configured with LMI/ILMI enabled is 52. However, each BPX will support up to a total of 16 feeder trunks and each feeder trunk will have LMI enabled. That is, if a BPX 8600 is configured with only two feeder trunks, then only (52 - 2) = 50 ports can have LMI/ILMI enabled.

If LMI/ILMI is provided by the BXM firmware:

There is no limitation on the number of ports that can have LMI/ILMI enabled.

When running ILMI on the BXM, ILMI version 3.1 WITHOUT address registration is supported.

20. Virtual Path Connections with cells whose VCI values are above 4095 will be transmitted correctly only if the path is exclusively through BXM trunks and terminate at BXM ports.

21. The feature of CIR=0 for Frame Relay connections is not supported for connections terminating between FRM cards in IGX nodes and FRSM cards in an MGX 8220 shelf.

22. SVC connections are derouted after decreasing the allocated bandwidth (increasing Statistic Reserve). It is the design intent that increasing the statistical reserve will cause SVC conns to derouted and not be rerouted (CSCst92308).

23. For the loadrev operation, it is important that the Cisco Wan Manager/TFTP buffers are maintained at their default size.

24. Due to a hardware limitation, the BNI trunk will send 13-15 percent more traffic than what it is configured for when the trunk is configured for less speed (cps) than the maximum port speed. This is especially important when the BNI trunk is connected to IMATM pairs, which carry less than T3 bandwidth.

25. When using the shift/no-shift feature on a BPX 8600 node's port card, controlled via the cnfport command, the other end of the connection must have the same setting. Otherwise, there will be a loss of continuity.

26. Due to trunk-based loading, any commands having to do with trunk loading and the load model (dspload chklm dsplm, and so on.) need to be done only after waiting a certain period of time. This time is a direct function of the trunk load update interval time (as configurable) plus the conditional update latency time.

27. The external ABR segment control loop on ForeSight (ABRFST) is an option at the user interface. It is supported by UXM-E/BXM-E but is not supported by UXM/BXM hardware. The user should not enable this option on ForeSight connections (CSCdi92451). In any case, there is no coupling between the loops.

28. The interface between a BXM feeder trunk and an MGX 8220 feeder is always considered to be an NNI interface. (CSCdj16808)

29. When adding more than 4000 connections on a BPX node, the VC polling rate must be changed to a higher interval, to accommodate the additional time needed to poll for the statistics for each VC. The cnfsysparm command, parameter 24, must be changed according to the following:

0-3999 connections

Polling Rate: 5 Minutes (or higher)

4000-7999 connections

30. Given a connection that terminates on an IGX 8400 FRM at one end and an ASI on the other end, tstdelay initiated at the FRM end may not work if the ASI firmware is below the appropriate revision and does not support OAM cells as opposed to supervisory cells. This is because the updated BTM on the IGX will always generate OAM cells. Please check the Compatibility Matrix.

31. Because the detailed card error event log is not retained within BRAM, this information will be lost should a processor rebuild occur. Therefore, when issuing a dspcderrs command on a particular slot, the display will not show the detailed card error information should a rebuild event occur. This functionality has not been modified from previous releases.

32. When a physical-layer failure (for example, LOS) is detected on the BXM, a Major Alarm is generated, and any connection routed over that port is downed (fail state). The software sends a command to the remote end of the connection to generate AIS in the egress direction (CSCdj30543).

Impact:

Since the connection is in a failed state, AIS is generated in the upstream direction (in addition to the downstream direction). Although this does conform to the letter of the I.610 standard, this is not necessarily what a user would expect to see, because it interferes with the RDI response from the end-to-end connection termination point. (A fault in the downstream direction causes a fault in the upstream direction.)

Reason for the current implementation:

The BNI can not generate AIS. If there is a fault at a BNI trunk, the current mechanism is to cause AIS to be generated by the BXM port by downing the connection. Since the BXM can generate only OAM cells from the RCMP, and the RCMP is in the ingress path, the cells must be backward routed to the egress (egress QE). Also, since end-to-end OAM cells are required, the ingress QE must be configured to drop ALL cells in the ingress path. This creates a break in continuity in the opposite direction, and AIS cells must also be generated at the other end of the same connection, in the upstream direction of the original fault.

33. There are problems in the downgrade mechanism that can cause database corruption. If a downgrade is performed immediately after upgrading, the Stby_Info revision fields are not yet filled in on the new active CC. They don't get filled in until there is an upcard response from the new locked CC. This causes a restart instead of a switchcc. If the locked CC is reset, then downgrade immediately, a restart will occur instead of a switchcc. (CSCdj30811).

34. In order to test/simulate the Y-redundant switchover of ASI T3 or E3 pairs the resetcd command must be used, or by pulling out the active card. It will not be correctly simulated by doing a dncd (down card) on the active card. Using dncd will cause cell discards (CSCdj08923).

35. UBR traffic gains an advantage over ABR traffic when UBR and ABR PVCs are combined on the same network. This is because UBR and ABR PVCs share the same Qbin (Class of Service Queue) on the BXM card. ABR PVCs use a flow control mechanism, VSVD, which ensures that traffic sources slow down when the Qbin usage exceeds the EFCI threshold. However, UBR PVCs do not have this throttling mechanism. Therefore, ABR will throttle back whereas UBR will not. This unfair advantage is not considered a problem, since the decision to share a Qbin for ABR and UBR traffic was intentional. Any best-effort service that one would route over UBR can be routed over ABR(VSVD), with the additional benefit of protecting resources in the network. If UBR and ABR PVCs are required then:

Option 1: Consider adding all best-effort PVCs as UBR

Option 2: Isolate the ABR and UBR paths by using cnfpref command to ensure that ABR and UBR PVCs do not share the same queues.

Option 3: To provide UBR service on a connection, rather than setting up a UBR connection, do the following:


Step 1 Set up an ABRSTD connection.

Step 2 Enable VSVD.

Step 3 Disable FCES (Flow Control External Segment).

Step 4 Disable DEFAULT EXTENDED PARAMETERS.

Step 5 Choose policing option "4" to allow access as UBR.1 (PCR policing only). This connection has ABR VSVD in the network and allows UBR.1 access. The MCR for such ABRSTD connection may be set at the minimum acceptable value of 6 cells per second (explained later to do so).


To provide ABR service on a connection, set up an ABRSTD connection, enable VSVD and enable FCES to allow RM cells to be passed to and from customer equipment. The MCR for such ABRSTD connections can be set at any user-desired value.

When the network is experiencing congestion, all the affected ABRSTD connections, regardless of the services (ABR or UBR) they are carrying, will all be throttled back at the VSVD points at the network edge. During network congestion, connections carrying UBR services are virtually stopped (to a throughput of a mere 6 cps) while connections carrying ABR services can send at a much higher, user-desired MCR. This option would avoid that UBR service gains an unfair advantage over ABR service while sharing the same CoS queue.

36. Combining Frame Based Traffic Control (FBTC) and non-FBTC connections within a Class of Service can cause FBTC connections to not receive a fair share of bandwidth. For example, if VBR connections are added at a terminating port, and some of these VBR connections have FBTC enabled while other VBR connections have FBTC disabled, the VBR connections with FBTC disabled may obtain all of the excess bandwidth before the connections with FBTC enabled receive any of the excess bandwidth. The same holds true for ABR or UBR connections. This is relevant only where FBTC and non-FBTC connections share a Qbin, either at a port or at a trunk.

37. The maximum number of VC PARMs supported: 749 for BCC-32 MB, 2,999 for BCC-64 MB. (CSCdj48589).

VC PARMs are Virtual Circuit Parameters combinations/sets. One set of VC Parameter is used for each unique Virtual Circuit that has been provisioned. Identically provisioned VCs (exclusive of end points) use the same set of parameters. Thus, on a 32MB BCC, a total of 749 uniquely configured Virtual Circuits can be provisioned.

38. Care must be taken when changing the Deroute Delay parameter, which is controlled by the cnftrk command. This defaults to zero, but if set to anything but zero, connection rerouting, due to a trunk failure, will be delayed as provided by the parameter.

Required Workarounds

1. When adding a node into an existing network, ensure that its node number is unique prior to a actually adding it into the network. Use the rnmnd command, and renumber the individual node while it is still stand-alone. This will make the joining of this node much simpler, and will avoid the problem of a node renumbering an active network, as described below.

2. There is a problem with node renumbering. Node renumbering (the rnmnd command) should be executed only during a stable network environment and only if absolutely necessary. A stable network environment would be, for example, one in which no connection was added for the past 30 minutes and no topology change was made in the last hour and there are no alarms or node unreachabilities. Node renumbering must be done only when the network is stable to reduce the possibility of certain temporarily blocked messages during the node renumbering process from being delivered to the wrong nodes. This would occur after the completion of the node renumbering process. It is recommended that a node be renumbered prior to being added to the network.

3. The settling time for network-wide updates can take a long time in certain situations. Specifically, the settling time for updates due to network-wide topology changes and connections in a large network when a processor switchover occurs can take a long time. The time is proportional to the number of nodes as well as the number of connections. A general estimate would be 30 seconds per node. During the period of transitions (when the updates are occurring) some network operations such as adding connections might in some cases take somewhat longer to complete.

4. When using Cisco Wan Manager, there could be a problem with communicating with a node that just had a processor switchover. The problem is within the SPARCstation itself and its caching of EtherNet addresses. It can be solved by execution the following command on the workstation as the superuser: # arp -d <node_name>

5. Users may not use the command addcon slot.1-24 v to add 24 voice connections to a CVM/UVM at once. Instead, they must separate this activity into two or more commands, so that no more than 16 connections are added at once. This is an issue only for voice connections. Data connections can be added using the "1-24" syntax. This also applies when the CVM/UVM circuit line is an E1, in which case "1-32" would apply (CSCdj14319).

6. Statistics must be disabled prior to the start of an upgrade, prior to the issuing of the first loadrev command. Statistics should be disabled from the Cisco Wan Manager, which is the Statistics collection manager.

7. Statistics sampling must be disabled prior to the start of an upgrade (using off1/off2), prior to the issuing of the first loadrev command. Statistics sampling state machines should be disabled from the Command Line Interface.

8. When a switchcc is executed on a BPX 8600 configured with two BCC-4 cards and contains a BXM-622 trunk card, there may be a bad clock path problem reported. It is indicated as a Minor Alarm - bad clock path. This is a transitory problem, although the alarm indication persists. To clear this, execute the clrclkalm command.

Additional Documentation

To take advantage of the dual SIU when upgrading to the BCC-4, the BPX 8600 node must have a new backplane which has dual traces incorporating with the BCC-4.

The command dspbpnv can be issued to verify if the node has the new backplane or the old backplane. The following chart details the bit fields for the BCC Backplane NOVRAM format, the values in bytes numbered 4 and 5 describe the back plane type.

The command cnfbpnv can be used to configure the backplane, if backplane is so enabled.

The peak intervals are controlled to be only those values for which peaks can be accurately collected. The rules for peak intervals are as follows:

It cannot be 0.

It must be a multiple of the polling interval.

It must be a factor of the bucket interval.

It can be the same as the bucket interval.

There are additional commands to control trunk and line loopbacks in this release:

addlnlocrmtlp <trunk> | <line>

On the node on which it is executed, it creates a loopback within the port such that the cells do not leave the card.

addlnloclp <trunk> | <line>

On the node on which it is executed, it creates a loop such that incoming cells are looped back to the other end.

dellnlp <trunk> | <line>

Removes the loopback added by either of the above two commands.

The card synchronization (Hitless-switchcc) feature can be turned on/off using on3/off3 command. For example, enter at the command line:

on3 4

This will enable the card-synchronization feature.

off3 4

This will disable the card-synchronization feature.

In order for the feature to work, the line statistics sampling should always be enabled (via on2 1 command) and the front card installed must support the card-synchronization feature. The dspcd command provides an easy way to determine whether the front card supports this new feature. If the front card supports the feature, the following message is shown on the dspcd screen:

Front card supports card synchronization

Additional debug commands are added to allow synchronization between the interface card and the CC database:

synccd <slot_number>|*

The <slot_number> is for a particular slot that supports the card synchronization feature;
* For all cards that support the card-synchronization feature.

dspsyncstats <slot_number>|*

This command displays the number of connections reconciled during the synchronization process after a switchcc for different slots.

* For all slots supporting this feature.

Bug ID
Description

CSCdp48861

Symptom: The customer may notice slow UI response or a difficulty logging into the node using the normal VT session. The dspprfhist command shows high RT usage in the TRNS process. The thstats shows high RT usage by state machine 55 (0x33).

Conditions: This is due to statistics updates for voice connections. It may be seen on nodes with a high number of voice cards and voice connections (IGX with CVMs and/or UVMs).

Workaround: The command off1 17 can be performed. Issuing this command stops the collection of voice connection statistics (for all connections, not just voice), as well as the operation of the debug command dspchstats.

If you must collect statistics, limit the number of statistics. Frame Relay statistics are collected at 5-minute intervals (configurable up to 15 minutes). Most voice statistics are reported at 1-minute intervals. However, the following statistics are reported at 3-second intervals:

Seconds V.25 Modem On

Seconds DSI Enabled

Seconds Off-Hook

Seconds In Service

CSCdr05291

Symptom: switchIfService must be specified to delete feeder trunks, but not routing trunks.

Conditions: This requirement confuses CiscoView users.

Workaround: Use the CLI commands to delete feeder trunks.

CSCdr45021

Symptom: SCT 1 is that default SCT that is reserved for MPLS. When an SES trunk is provisioned with the default SCT not changed to SCT 3, the trunk fails to come up.

Conditions: None.

Workaround: Make sure that the SES uplink uses SCT 3 as the service class template.

CSCdu03108

Symptom: Software error 1427 logged on BPX node.

Conditions: This issue occurs when you upgrade from Release 9.1.19 to 9.2.3D (prior to Release 9.2.38). In this particular case, the node that logs the 1427 error is sending conditional updates to a node which upgrades during the process.

Workaround: None.

CSCdt07203

Symptom: The hitless rebuild log filled up due to repeated failed switchccs.

Conditions: A bad standby BCC is required. The node must be running at least 9.2.

Workaround: Clear the hitless log with the command dsphitless c. Or, switchcc less often, so the hitless rebuild log entries have a chance to age out of the log.

CSCdu03108

Symptom: Software error 1427 logged on BPX node.

Conditions: This issue occurs when upgrading from release 9.1.19 to 9.2.3D (pre 9.2.38). In this particular case, the node logging the 1427 error is sending conditional updates to a node which upgrades during the process.

Workaround: None.

CSCdu38434

Symptom: Back card revision is shown when the card is absent.

Conditions: This bug is a base line issue that is applicable to all switch software revisions.

Workaround: None.

CSCdu45358

Symptom: The switchover occured on BPX node when the active card was pulled out. The empty slot for this card was shown in the CLI, but the Network Browser was showing that the active card was still present.

Conditions: None

Workaround: None

CSCdv33406

Symptom: While the APS(1+1) and the loop clock was configured to the BXM cards, the loop clock seemed to be released automatically upon execution of the switchyred command.

Condition: APS 1+1 setup was present, and switchyred was executed.

Workaround: Manually set the loop clock to NO once, and then set it back to YES again.

CSCdv33753

Symptom: On BPX nodes the following observations were made after a fall back from 9.3.30 to 9.2.34:

BPX node logged SWSW error 9000: APS 1+1 trk was in LOS, BXM card was in mismatch.

BPX node logged SWSW error 9000: BXM card mismatch, VT failure.

Conditions:

1. Network was being prepared for SWSW upgrade from 9.2.34 to 9.3.30 with UXM FW A.C.E, BXM FW M.F.25 at the time.

2. A script was run on all nodes to set parameters for upgrades, check databases, and do network captures.

3. SWSW 9.3.30 was loaded on the standby CC of all nodes (routing and feeder) using loadrev.

4. A runrev 9.3.30 was executed on each (node by node) at 10-15 minute intervals apart.

5. After all nodes (routing and feeder) were upgraded to SWSW 9.3.30, no events were taking place for 30 minutes.

6. A script was run to set the parameters after a node upgrade (for example, turning on statistics).

7. BXM FW M.F.25 was loaded on all nodes and burned on all BXM cards without any problems.

8. UXM FW A.C.01 was loaded on all nodes and burned on all UXM cards at the same time, which yielded no problems.

9. Network was allowed to settle for a long time due to rerouting until zero errors were in network and traffic resumed.

10. At this point the upgrade was successful.

11. A fall back to 9.2.34 was conducted on the entire network using the command: runrev 9.2.34 *. This command unlocked the standby CC and rebuilt the databases using the 9.2.34 BRAM.

12. After the network fallback, the network was allowed to settle over night.

13. After the fallback the network was running SWSW 9.2.34, UXM FW A.C.01, and BXM FW M.F.N.

14. While checking the network health in the morning, a number of problems were observed.

15. Symptoms on BPX nodes were narrowed to observation bpx01 and bpx05:

a. BPX node logged SWSW error 9000: APS 1+1 trunk was in LOS, BXM card was in mismatch.

b. BPX node logged SWSW error 9000: BXM card mismatch, VT failure.

CSCdv33753 (continued)

16. After DE investigation, the trigger of problems on all BPX nodes was attributed to SWSW error 9000 exception. This exception was caused by the CBUS message 0x60 (delete connections) to the BXM card. In the message, the start and end LCNs are specified to delete a range of connections. However, that start LCN is greater than the end LCN which is incorrect. Therefore, the BXM card sends an error to the BCC and logs the SWSW error 9000.

17. After a resetcd on the mismatched BXMs, the BXMs would recover.

Workaround: None.

CSCdw27395

Symptom: The following error message displays while adding an NTM_SR trunk: "Abandoned because remote node Transmit Rate setting is different."

Conditions:

1. When the 2048 kbps NTM-SR trunk is decreased to a data rate of 1024 kbps (or any lower data rate, for example, 1536), the data rate changed back to 2048 kbps using cnftrk x.

2. The trunk was added back in the network to see the error message.

3. The NTM-FW is NK02 and SWSW 9.3.4 I 4. This problem was seen on both Y-red and non-Yred cards for V.35 and X.21 interfaces.

Workaround: Decrease the data rate of the trunk (after deleting it) on both sides of the trunk (on igx5/21 and igx7/4). The corruption is done on both the sides, so the database sync up and the trunk can be added.

CSCdx20323

Symptom: swerr752 is logged on BPX when upgrade BXM fw to MF14.

Conditions: Upgrade BXM fw to MF14 on BPX.

Workaround: Unknown.

CSCdx27113

Symptom: Customer experienced Seconds in Service for the Frame Relay connections. Sometimes the connection reports more than 100% in service. For example, the value of Seconds in Service for one hour shows 3601 seconds.

Conditions: None.

Workaround: None.

CSCdx66192

Symptom: After a PVC comes out of an A-bit fail, SWSW does not send a connection alarm message (40, 17, 3, 1, 3) with AIS clear in the NNI Status Bit map to CWM. This failure causes the CWM to consider the connection with end-to-end status as AIS.

Conditions: This symptom occurs very intermittently, and the conditions are not known.

Workaround: Another event to trigger the update (such as the NNI status of the PVC going back to A-bit fail and clear) would normally clear this condition.

CSCdy51577

Symptom: The trunk parameters could not be modified using the job.

Condition: When more than one virtual trunk exists on a physical interface, configuring the trunk parameters on any one of these virtual trunks fails in the job mode.

Workaround: Configure the virtual trunk through CLI.

CSCea33846

Symptom: From 9.2.35, the following two points on cross point are not tested by tstber.

Active BCC -> Active BCC

Active BCC -> Standby BCC

Conditions: None

Workaround: Use the tstber m command. The point of Slot 7 to 8 is tested by this command.

See the following example:

tstber m 7 8 0 2 1 20 n

where:

m = Manual

7 = Primary slot

8 = Secondary slot

0 = Destination port

2 = Qbin number

1 = Destination channel

20 = B-frames to send

n = Stop on errors

CSCea55566

Symptom: After a switchcc on an IGX, most if not all trunks report large amounts of COMM FAILs using the dsptrkerrs command. The log does not indicate any COMM breaks.

Conditions: IGX node is running 9.2.41 SWSW under normal load and condition is reporting large amounts of COMM FAILs after a switchcc is issued.

Note The errors only seem to occur during the instant the switchcc is in progress. The errors do not continue to increment once the switch is complete.

Workaround: None

CSCee39134

Symptom: Connections are in loop on a particular port, both VC and VP. No chance to delete with normal CLI, need to patch memory or delete/add the connection back.

Conditions: BPX network is running 9.2.41 during normal operation. No trigger was found so far.

Workaround: Delete and re-add the connection or patch memory for each connection.

CSCee68430

Symptom: ABR STD PVC (channel) level statistics (dspchanstathist) are reporting over PCR utilization in 9.2.36 SWSW for user and TFTP defined cell transmission statistics over a 15 minute bucket. Statistics shown by the switch CLI command, dspchstats, do not show cells being sent over PCR transmission.

The following statistics are affected:

48—Cells Transmitted to Network

49—Cells Received from Network

Conditions: This issue occurs with high PVC bandwidth utilization.

Workaround: None.

Further Problem Description: Use the following commands to see problem:

cnfchstats <pvc> 49 15 E 60 4 Y

cnfchstats <pvc> 48 15 E 60 4 Y

dspchstathist <pvc> 48 USER 15

dspchstathist <pvc> 49 USER 15

The 15 minute samples must not exceed (pcr * 1800 seconds).

CSCin16665

Symptom: Software error 3041 is generated after BXM-OC12 card was pulled out and reinserted. Connection database was corrupted.

Conditions: Some DAX PVCs existed on the cards between lines 1 and 2.

Workaround: None.

CSCin17623

Symptom: Configured preferred path gets reset to Not Configured.

Conditions: This symptom occurs while changing the trunk cost of a trunk.

Workaround: None.

CSCin17893

Symptom: Software logged errors (52, 516, 1120, 518, 1125, 502, 589, 504, and 505) on the node during a graceful upgrade from 9.2.38 to 9.2.4J.

Conditions: This issue occurs with graceful upgrades from 9.2.38 to 9.2.4J.

Workaround: None.

CSCdk22430

Status Change: Closed

Symptom: Checksum word 15 of backplane nvram is not recalculated when words 0-14 are updated using cnfbpnv.

Conditions: This bug was observed with BPX 9.1.01.

Workaround: No workaround is available at this time.

CSCdk83372

Status Change: Duplicate of CSCdt52981

Symptom: While attempting to download switch software to a node, the dspdnld screen shows the download progressing and then suddenly stop and begin the download anew. No messages, which describe the nature of the problem, are logged in the event log (dsplog). The output from the tftpstats, dspilacc, or dsppna commands do not describe the problem.

Conditions: The background conditions that cause the process to fail are unknown.

Workaround: None.

Further Problem Description: This DDTs report was raised to address the need for further debugging/logging output to diagnose these file load failure issues. Without further information no judgment as to the actual root cause of the failure can be determined.

CSCdm22426

Status Change: Closed

Symptom: While using jobs to down or up the connection based on a jobtrigger, the job fails if dspbob is executed while the control signal toggles.

Conditions: This issue was observed with IGX 8.2.56.

Workaround: Retrigger the job after executing the dspbob command.

CSCdm47794

Status Change: Duplicate of CSCdz30108

Symptom: The holdover clock locks at 4.9 ppm on a BXM SRM-1 line when the input clock increases beyond 5 ppm. When the input clock comes back down even to 0 ppm, the holdover clock stays at 4.9 ppm and never recovers.

Conditions: This issue occurs on a BPX running 9.1.10 with a BXM line card 4 port, MBY firmware, and STRM-1 4 port back card.

Workaround: Issue the resetcd command after the input clock falls below 4.9 ppm to clear the holdover problem.

CSCdp44912

Status Change: Closed

Symptom: Upgrade from IGX 9.1.04 to 9.1.16 causes UXM Y-red card to go into mismatch.

Conditions: These are the same as the symptom.

Workaround: Issue the delyred command to avoid this condition.

Further Problem Description: This problem is an isolated VC shaping upgrade mechanism.

CSCdr25278

Status Change: Closed

Symptom: The SUT and EMS are not indicating LOS as per UNI 3.1.

Conditions: None.

Workaround: None.

CSCdr55714

Status Change: Duplicate of CSCdr69455

Symptom: ILMI state of a port on an MGX and BPX are mismatched. While the MGX side shows up and normal, BPX side shows disabled.

Conditions: None.

Workaround: None.

CSCds81526

Status Change: Closed

Symptom:

1. The BPX and IGX nodes were loaded to their connections limit.

2. The dncon COS 0 i was issued on bpx03.

3. It took more that 2.5 hours to down about 70% of 16K connections (performance issue).

4. When the connections were downed, the master side and the slave side of the connections were showing down state which is correct.

5. Then, the upcon COS 0 command was issued to up all downed connections. The command was issued on a BPX node.

6. After CPU idle time reached 70%+ (steady-state) network wide, the master side of any connection is upped correctly (OK state). However, the slave side of the connection is still in down state (it should be in up state as well).

7. The problem is the upcon network messages were not propagated to the slave-side of the connection. The result is in spite of issuing upcon the master-side of the connection is upped, but the slave-side of the connection is still in down state.

8. This condition means upcon finite state machines could be timing out, or handling of such an inconsistent state under heavy loading still needs to be accounted for.

Conditions:

1. Almost all 9.2.34 + 9.2.23 SWSW and SWFW features were provisioned.

2. The nodes were loaded to their limit with maximum terminating connections, VTs, and so forth.

3. Topology is of a tiered network with MGX 8220 and IGX feeders, MPLS LSCs and Less, and SES PNNI controllers.

Frequency: Intermittent.

Steps to re-create the problem: It is unclear whether or not it is reproducible.

Workaround: Issue the upcon command for each connection one by one, which is not efficient.

CSCdt07203

Status Change: Resolved; Not resolved in this release

Symptom: The hitless rebuild log filled up due to repeated failed switchccs.

Conditions: A bad standby BCC is required. The node must be running at least 9.2.

Workaround: Clear the hitless log with the command dsphitless c. Or, switchcc less often, so the hitless rebuild log entries have a chance to age out of the log.

CSCdt55864

Status Change: Closed

Symptom: The Cisco WAN Manager's Statistics Collection Manager cannot parse the TFTP statistics file received from the IGX node.

Conditions: This problem only occurs when the IGX node has FastPad connection enabled, and is collecting TFTP statistics on those connections.

Customer Impact: When this problem occurs the customer is not able to collect TFTP interval statistics from the IGX node.

Workaround: There is no work around for collecting the FastPad connection statistics. However, if you disable statistics collection on the FastPad connections, you can collect all of the other statistics.

Further Problem Description: When writing the variable key length for the various FastPad connection types, an extra byte is added. This byte throws off CWM parsing. The parser has no way of recovering. Therefore, the entire statistics file is discarded as corrupted or bad.

CSCdu03108

Status Change: Unreproducable

Symptom: Software error 1427 logged on BPX node.

Conditions: This issue occurs when upgrading from release 9.1.19 to 9.2.3D (pre 9.2.38). In this particular case, the node logging the 1427 error is sending conditional updates to a node which upgrades during the process.

Workaround: None.

CSCdu38434

Status Change: Resolved; Not resolved in this release

Symptom: Back card revision is shown when the card is absent.

Conditions: This bug is a base line issue that is applicable to all switch software revisions.

Workaround: None.

CSCdw27395

Status Change: Resolved; Not resolved in this release

Symptom: The following error message displays while adding an NTM_SR trunk: "Abandoned because remote node Transmit Rate setting is different."

Conditions:

1. When the 2048 kbps NTM-SR trunk is decreased to a data rate of 1024 kbps (or any lower data rate, for example, 1536), the data rate changed back to 2048 kbps using cnftrk x.

2. The trunk was added back in the network to see the error message.

3. The NTM-FW is NK02 and SWSW 9.3.4 I 4. This problem was seen on both Y-red and non-Yred cards for V.35 and X.21 interfaces.

Workaround: Decrease the data rate of the trunk (after deleting it) on both sides of the trunk (on igx5/21 and igx7/4). The corruption is done on both the sides, so the database sync up and the trunk can be added.

CSCdx20323

Status Change: Resolved; Not resolved in this release

Symptom: The swerr752 is logged on the BPX when upgrading BXM FW to MF14.

Conditions: This issue occurs when upgrading BXM FW to MF14 on BPX.

Workaround: Unknown.

CSCdx62131

Status Change: Duplicate of CSCdr85197

Symptom: In a large network scenario using the standard (non concurrent) AutoRoute algorithm, trunks have failed. After they recover, some connections fail to route.

Conditions: When two nodes select the same random back off timer, this symptom can be verified by using nwtrace. Both nodes sw181 and sw155 were backing off for the same amount of time. The random backoff algorithm has to be enhanced to overcome this situation.

Workaround: Disable CM and enable CM (off1 11, on1 11).

CSCdx87582

Status Change: Closed

Symptom: Injecting errors at a rate of 10-3 into one line of a six-line IMA group on a UXM card causes the line to be declared in Major Frame Bit Error in the dspphyslnerrs output.

However this line is not removed from the UXM IMA group, which causes traffic passing over the trunk to error. Increasing the error injection rate to 10-2 causes the line to declare a Major Loss of cell. Then, the line is removed from the IMA group, and bandwidth is reduced.

Conditions: This issue occurred in tests performed with 9.2.38 SWSW and ABR firmware on the UXM-E.

Workaround: Current workaround is to down the line, or remove it from the group until errors clear.

CSCdy06091

Status Change: Closed

Symptom: Combining is not working correctly for NTS traffic.

Conditions: Combining is set to 1 for NTS traffic, so one FastPacket exists only in one cell. However, this condition only works in one direction.

Workaround: The problem appears to be caused by a particular trunk in the network. Reroute the connection away from each trunk one at a time until to problem trunk is located, and the connection is routed away from it.

CSCdy51577

Status Change: Resolved; Not resolved in this release

Symptom: The trunk parameters using the Job could not be modified.

Condition: When more than one virtual trunk exists on a physical interface, configuring the trunk parameters on any one of these virtual trunks fails in the Job mode.

Workaround: Configure the virtual trunk through CLI.

CSCin17429

Status Change: Closed

Symptom: Tx/Rx cell statistics parameters are disabled for channels terminating on AIS-OC3 interface.

Condition: None.

Workaround: None.

CSCin17623

Status Change: Resolved; Not resolved in this release

Symptom: Configured preferred path gets reset to Not Configured.

Condition: This symptom occurs while changing trunk cost of a trunk.

Workaround: None.

Conditions: This issue occurs on a BPX running 9.1.10 with a BXM line card 4 port, MBY firmware, and STRM-1 4 port back card.

Workaround: Issue the resetcd command after the input clock falls below 4.9 ppm to clear the holdover problem.

CSCdp44912

Status Change: Closed

Symptom: Upgrade from IGX 9.1.04 to 9.1.16 causes UXM Y-red card to go into mismatch.

Conditions: These are the same as the symptom.

Workaround: Issue the delyred command to avoid this condition.

Further Problem Description: This problem is an isolated VC shaping upgrade mechanism.

CSCdp48861

Symptom: The customer may notice slow UI response or a difficulty logging into the node using the normal VT session. The dspprfhist command shows high RT usage in the TRNS process. The thstats shows high RT usage by state machine 55 (0x33).

Conditions: This is due to statistics updates for voice connections. It may be seen on nodes with a high number of voice cards and voice connections (IGX with CVMs and/or UVMs).

Workaround: The command off1 17 can be performed. Issuing this command stops the collection of voice connection statistics (for all connections, not just voice), as well as the operation of the debug command dspchstats.

If you must collect statistics, limit the number of statistics. Frame Relay statistics are collected at 5-minute intervals (configurable up to 15 minutes). Most voice statistics are reported at 1-minute intervals. However, the following statistics are reported at 3-second intervals:

Seconds V.25 Modem On

Seconds DSI Enabled

Seconds Off-Hook

Seconds In Service

CSCdr05291

Symptom: switchIfService must be specified to delete feeder trunks, but not routing trunks.

Conditions: This requirement confuses CiscoView users.

Workaround: Use the CLI commands to delete feeder trunks.

CSCdr25278

Symptom: The SUT and EMS are not indicating LOS as per UNI 3.1.

Conditions: None.

Workaround: None.

CSCdr45021

Symptom: SCT 1 is default SCT reserved for MPLS. When an SES trunk is provisioned, if the default SCT is not changed to SCT 3, trunk will fail to come up.

Conditions: None.

Workaround: Make sure that SES uplink uses SCT 3 as service class template.

CSCdr55714

Symptom: ILMI state of a port on an MGX and BPX are mismatched. While the MGX side shows up and normal, BPX side shows disabled.

CSCdt07203

Symptom: The hitless rebuild log filled up due to repeated failed switchccs.

Conditions: A bad standby BCC is required. The node must be running at least 9.2.

Workaround: Clear the hitless log with the command dsphitless c. Or, switchcc less often, so the hitless rebuild log entries have a chance to age out of the log.

CSCdt55864

CSCdu38434

Symptom: Back card revision is shown when the card is absent.

Conditions: This bug is a base line issue that is applicable to all switch software revisions.

Workaround: None.

CSCdu45358

Symptom: The switchover occured on BPX node when the active card was pulled out. The empty slot for this card was shown in the CLI, but the Network Browser was showing that the active card was still present.

Conditions: None

Workaround: None

CSCdv33406

Symptom: While the APS(1+1) and the loop clock was configured to the BXM cards, the loop clock seemed to be released automatically upon execution of the switchyred command.

Condition: APS 1+1 setup was present, and switchyred was executed.

Workaround: Manually set the loop clock to NO once, and then set it back to YES again.

CSCdv33753

Symptom: On BPX nodes the following observations were made after a fall back from 9.3.30 to 9.2.34:

BPX node logged SWSW error 9000: APS 1+1 trk was in LOS, BXM card was in mismatch.

BPX node logged SWSW error 9000: BXM card mismatch, VT failure.

Conditions:

1. Network was being prepared for SWSW upgrade from 9.2.34 to 9.3.30 with UXM FW A.C.E, BXM FW M.F.25 at the time.

2. A script was run on all nodes to set parameters for upgrades, check databases, and do network captures.

3. SWSW 9.3.30 was loaded on the standby CC of all nodes (routing and feeder) using loadrev.

4. A runrev 9.3.30 was executed on each (node by node) at 10-15 minute intervals apart.

5. After all nodes (routing and feeder) were upgraded to SWSW 9.3.30, no events were taking place for 30 minutes.

6. A script was run to set the parameters after a node upgrade (for example, turning on statistics).

7. BXM FW M.F.25 was loaded on all nodes and burned on all BXM cards without any problems.

8. UXM FW A.C.01 was loaded on all nodes and burned on all UXM cards at the same time, which yielded no problems.

9. Network was allowed to settle for a long time due to rerouting until zero errors were in network and traffic resumed.

10. At this point the upgrade was successful.

11. A fall back to 9.2.34 was conducted on the entire network using the command: runrev 9.2.34 *. This command unlocked the standby CC and rebuilt the databases using the 9.2.34 BRAM.

12. After the network fallback, the network was allowed to settle over night.

13. After the fallback the network was running SWSW 9.2.34, UXM FW A.C.01, and BXM FW M.F.N.

14. While checking the network health in the morning, a number of problems were observed.

15. Symptoms on BPX nodes were narrowed to observation bpx01 and bpx05:

a. BPX node logged SWSW error 9000: APS 1+1 trunk was in LOS, BXM card was in mismatch.

b. BPX node logged SWSW error 9000: BXM card mismatch, VT failure.

CSCdv33753 (continued)

16. After DE investigation, the trigger of problems on all BPX nodes was attributed to SWSW error 9000 exception. This exception was caused by the CBUS message 0x60 (delete connections) to the BXM card. In the message, the start and end LCNs are specified to delete a range of connections. However, that start LCN is greater than the end LCN which is incorrect. Therefore, the BXM card sends an error to the BCC and logs the SWSW error 9000.

17. After a resetcd on the mismatched BXMs, the BXMs would recover.

Workaround: None.

CSCdw27395

Symptom: The following error message displays while adding an NTM_SR trunk: "Abandoned because remote node Transmit Rate setting is different."

Conditions:

1. When the 2048 kbps NTM-SR trunk is decreased to a data rate of 1024 kbps (or any lower data rate, for example, 1536), the data rate changed back to 2048 kbps using cnftrk x.

2. The trunk was added back in the network to see the error message.

3. The NTM-FW is NK02 and SWSW 9.3.4 I 4. This problem was seen on both Y-red and non-Yred cards for V.35 and X.21 interfaces.

Workaround: Decrease the data rate of the trunk (after deleting it) on both sides of the trunk (on igx5/21 and igx7/4). The corruption is done on both the sides, so the database sync up and the trunk can be added.

CSCdx20323

Symptom: The swerr752 is logged on the BPX when upgrading BXM FW to MF14.

Conditions: This issue occurs when upgrading BXM FW to MF14 on BPX.

Workaround: Unknown.

CSCdx27113

Symptom: Customer experienced Seconds in Service for the Frame Relay connections. Sometimes the connection reports more than 100% in service, for example, the value of Seconds in Service for one hour shows 3601 seconds.

Conditions: None.

Workaround: None.

CSCdx62131

Symptom: In a large network scenario using the standard (non concurrent) AutoRoute algorithm, trunks have failed. After they recover, some connections fail to route.

Conditions: When two nodes select the same random back off timer, this symptom can be verified by using nwtrace. Both nodes sw181 and sw155 were backing off for the same amount of time. The random backoff algorithm has to be enhanced to overcome this situation.

Workaround: Disable CM and enable CM (off1 11, on1 11).

CSCdx66192

Symptom: After a PVC comes out of and A-bit fail, SWSW does not send a connection alarm message (40, 17, 3, 1, 3) with AIS clear in the NNI Status Bit map to CWM. This failure causes the CWM to consider the connection with end-to-end status as AIS.

Conditions: This symptom occurs very intermittently, and the conditions are not known.

Workaround: Another event to trigger the update (such as the NNI status of the PVC going back to A-bit fail and clear) would normally clear this condition.

CSCdx87582

Symptom: Injecting errors at a rate of 10-3 into one line of a six-line IMA group on a UXM card causes the line to be declared in Major Frame Bit Error in the dspphyslnerrs output.

However this line is not removed from the UXM IMA group, which causes traffic passing over the trunk to error. Increasing the error injection rate to 10-2 causes the line to declare a Major Loss of cell. Then, the line is removed from the IMA group, and bandwidth is reduced.

PHYSLN Type Current Line Alarm Status TRK 3.1 E1/30 Clear - OK 3.1(6) 3.2 E1/30 Clear - OK 3.1(6) 3.3 E1/30 Clear - OK 3.1(6) 3.4 E1/30 Clear - OK 3.1(6) 3.5 E1/30 Clear - OK 3.1(6) 3.6 E1/30 Major - Frames Bit Errors 3.1(6) 31.1 T1/24 Clear - OK 31.1 32.1 T3/636 Clear - OK 32.1 32.2 T3/636 Clear - OK 32.2 32.3 T3/636 Clear - OK 32.3 Last Command: dspphyslns TRK Type Current Line Alarm Status Other End .1(6) E1/177 Clear - OK xx/3.1(6) 31.1 T1/24 Clear - OK xxx/10.1 32.1 T3/636 Clear - OK xx/12.1 32.2 T3/636 Clear - OK x/1.7 32.3 T3/690 Clear - OK xxx/9.1 Last Command: dsptrks

Conditions: This issue occurred in tests performed with 9.2.38 SWSW and ABR firmware on the UXM-E.

Workaround: Current workaround is to down the line, or remove it from the group until errors clear.

CSCdy06091

Symptom: Combining is not working correctly for NTS traffic.

Conditions: Combining is set to 1 for NTS traffic, so one FastPacket exists only in one cell. However, this condition only works in one direction.

Workaround: The problem appears to be caused by a particular trunk in the network. Reroute the connection away from each trunk one at a time until to problem trunk is located, and the connection is routed away from it.

CSCdy51577

Symptom: The trunk parameters using the Job could not be modified.

Condition: When more than one virtual trunk exists on a physical interface, configuring the trunk parameters on any one of these virtual trunks fails in the Job mode.

Workaround: Configure the virtual trunk through CLI.

CSCin16665

Symptom: Software error 3041 is generated after BXM-OC12 card was pulled out and reinserted. Connection database was corrupted.

Conditions: Some DAX PVCs existed on the cards between lines 1 and 2.

Workaround: None.

CSCin17429

Symptom: Tx/Rx cell statistics parameters are disabled for channels terminating on AIS-OC3 interface.

Condition: None.

Workaround: None.

CSCin17623

Symptom: Configured preferred path gets reset to Not Configured.

Condition: This symptom occurs while changing trunk cost of a trunk.

Workaround: None.

CSCin17893

Symptom: Software log observed on the node while graceful upgrade from 9.2.38 to 9.21.4J (errors: 52, 516, 1120, 518, 1125, 502, 589, 504, and 505).

Conditions: Graceful upgrade from 9.2.38 to 9.2.4J.

Workaround: None.

Description

CSCdk22430

Status Change: Closed

Symptom: Checksum word 15 of backplane nvram is not recalculated when words 0-14 are updated using cnfbpnv.

Conditions: This bug was observed with BPX 9.1.01.

Workaround: No workaround is available at this time.

CSCdk83372

Status Change: Duplicate of CSCdt52981.

Symptom: While attempting to download switch software to a node, the dspdnld screen shows the download progressing and then suddenly stop and begin the download anew. No messages, which describe the nature of the problem, are logged in the event log (dsplog). The output from the tftpstats, dspilacc, or dsppna commands do not describe the problem.

Conditions: The background conditions that cause the process to fail are unknown.

Workaround: None.

Further Problem Description: This DDTs report was raised to address the need for further debugging/logging output to diagnose these file load failure issues. Without further information no judgment as to the actual root cause of the failure can be determined.

CSCdm22426

Status Change: Closed

Symptom: While using jobs to down or up the connection based on a jobtrigger, the job fails if dspbob is executed while the control signal toggles.

Conditions: This issue was observed with IGX 8.2.56.

Workaround: Retrigger the job after executing the dspbob command.

CSCdm47794

Status Change: Duplicate of CSCdz30108

Symptom: The holdover clock locks at 4.9 ppm on a BXM SRM-1 line when the input clock increases beyond 5 ppm. When the input clock comes back down even to 0 ppm, the holdover clock stays at 4.9 ppm and never recovers.

Conditions: This issue occurs on a BPX running 9.1.10 with a BXM line card 4 port, MBY firmware, and STRM-1 4 port back card.

Workaround: Issue the resetcd command after the input clock falls below 4.9 ppm to clear the holdover problem.

CSCdp44912

Status Change: Closed

Symptom: Upgrade from IGX 9.1.04 to 9.1.16 causes UXM Y-red card to go into mismatch.

Conditions: These are the same as the symptom.

Workaround: Issue the delyred command to avoid this condition.

Further Problem Description: This problem is an isolated VC shaping upgrade mechanism.

CSCdp48861

Symptom: The customer may notice slow UI response or a difficulty logging into the node using the normal VT session. The dspprfhist command shows high RT usage in the TRNS process. The thstats shows high RT usage by state machine 55 (0x33).

Conditions: This is due to statistics updates for voice connections. It may be seen on nodes with a high number of voice cards and voice connections (IGX with CVMs and/or UVMs).

Workaround: The command off1 17 can be performed. Issuing this command stops the collection of voice connection statistics (for all connections, not just voice), as well as the operation of the debug command dspchstats.

If you must collect statistics, limit the number of statistics. Frame Relay statistics are collected at 5-minute intervals (configurable up to 15 minutes). Most voice statistics are reported at 1-minute intervals. However, the following statistics are reported at 3-second intervals:

Seconds V.25 Modem On

Seconds DSI Enabled

Seconds Off-Hook

Seconds In Service

CSCdr05291

Symptom: switchIfService must be specified to delete feeder trunks, but not routing trunks.

Conditions: This requirement confuses CiscoView users.

Workaround: Use the CLI commands to delete feeder trunks.

CSCdr25278

Symptom: The SUT and EMS are not indicating LOS as per UNI 3.1.

Conditions: None.

Workaround: None.

CSCdr45021

Symptom: SCT 1 is default SCT reserved for MPLS. When an SES trunk is provisioned, if the default SCT is not changed to SCT 3, trunk will fail to come up.

Conditions: None.

Workaround: Make sure that SES uplink uses SCT 3 as service class template.

CSCdr55714

Symptom: ILMI state of a port on an MGX and BPX are mismatched. While the MGX side shows up and normal BPX side shows disabled.

Conditions: None.

Workaround: None.

CSCds81526

Status Change: Closed

Symptom:

1. The BPX and IGX nodes were loaded to their connections limit.

2. The dncon COS 0 i was issued on bpx03.

3. It took more that 2.5 hours to down about 70% of 16K connections (performance issue).

4. When the connections were downed, the master side and the slave side of the connections were showing down state which is correct.

5. Then, the upcon COS 0 command was issued to up all downed connections. The command was issued on a BPX node.

6. After CPU idle time reached 70%+ (steady-state) network wide, the master side of any connection is upped correctly (OK state). However, the slave side of the connection is still in down state (it should be in up state as well).

7. The problem is the upcon network messages were not propagated to the slave-side of the connection. The result is in spite of issuing upcon the master-side of the connection is upped, but the slave-side of the connection is still in down state.

8. This condition means upcon finite state machines could be timing out, or handling of such an inconsistent state under heavy loading still needs to be accounted for.

Conditions:

1. Almost all 9.2.34 + 9.2.23 SWSW and SWFW features were provisioned.

2. The nodes were loaded to their limit with maximum terminating connections, VTs, and so forth.

3. Topology is of a tiered network with MGX 8220 and IGX feeders, MPLS LSCs and LERs, and SES PNNI controllers.

Frequency: Intermittent.

Steps to re-create the problem: It is unclear whether or not it is reproducible.

Workaround: Issue the upcon command for each connection one by one, which is not efficient.

CSCdt07203

Symptom: The hitless rebuild log filled up due to repeated failed switchccs.

Conditions: A bad standby BCC is required. The node must be running at least 9.2.

Workaround: Clear the hitless log with the command dsphitless c. Or, switchcc less often, so the hitless rebuild log entries have a chance to age out of the log.

CSCdt55864

Symptom: The Cisco WAN Manager's Statistics Collection Manager cannot parse the TFTP statistics file received from the IGX node.

Conditions: This problem only occurs when the IGX node has FastPad connection enabled, and is collecting TFTP statistics on those connections.

Customer Impact: When this problem occurs the customer is not able to collect TFTP interval statistics from the IGX node.

Workaround: There is no work around for collecting the FastPad connection statistics. However, if you disable statistics collection on the FastPad connections, you can collect all of the other statistics.

Further Problem Description: When writing the variable key length for the various FastPad connection types, an extra byte is added. This byte throws off CWM parsing. The parser has no way of recovering. Therefore, the entire statistics file is discarded as corrupted or bad.

CSCdu38434

Symptom: Back card revision is shown when the card is absent.

Conditions: This bug is a base line issue that is applicable to all switch software revisions.

Workaround: None.

CSCdu45358

Symptom: The switchover occured on BPX node when the active card was pulled out. The empty slot for this card was shown in the CLI, but the Network Browser was showing that the active card was still present.

Conditions: None.

Workaround: None.

CSCdv33406

Symptom: While the APS(1+1) and the loop clock was configured to the BXM cards, the loop clock seemed to be released automatically upon execution of the switchyred command.

Condition: APS 1+1 setup was present, and switchyred was executed.

Workaround: Manually set the loop clock to NO once, and then set it back to YES again.

CSCdv33753

Symptom: On BPX nodes the following observations were made after a fall back from 9.3.30 to 9.2.34:

BPX node logged SWSW error 9000: APS 1+1 trk was in LOS, BXM card was in mismatch.

BPX node logged SWSW error 9000: BXM card mismatch, VT failure.

Conditions:

1. Network was being prepared for SWSW upgrade from 9.2.34 to 9.3.30 with UXM FW A.C.E, BXM FW M.F.25 at the time.

2. A script was run on all nodes to set parameters for upgrades, check databases, and do network captures.

3. SWSW 9.3.30 was loaded on the standby CC of all nodes (routing and feeder) using loadrev.

4. A runrev 9.3.30 was executed on each (node by node) at 10-15 minute intervals apart.

5. After all nodes (routing and feeder) were upgraded to SWSW 9.3.30, no events were taking place for 30 minutes.

6. A script was run to set the parameters after a node upgrade (for example, turning on statistics).

7. BXM FW M.F.25 was loaded on all nodes and burned on all BXM cards without any problems.

8. UXM FW A.C.01 was loaded on all nodes and burned on all UXM cards at the same time, which yielded no problems.

9. Network was allowed to settle for a long time due to rerouting until zero errors were in network and traffic resumed.

10. At this point the upgrade was successful.

11. A fall back to 9.2.34 was conducted on the entire network using the command: runrev 9.2.34 *. This command unlocked the standby CC and rebuilt the databases using the 9.2.34 BRAM.

12. After the network fallback, the network was allowed to settle over night.

13. After the fallback the network was running SWSW 9.2.34, UXM FW A.C.01, and BXM FW M.F.N.

14. While checking the network health in the morning, a number of problems were observed.

15. Symptoms on BPX nodes were narrowed to observation bpx01 and bpx05:

a. BPX node logged SWSW error 9000: APS 1+1 trunk was in LOS, BXM card was in mismatch.

b. BPX node logged SWSW error 9000: BXM card mismatch, VT failure.

CSCdv33753 (continued)

16. After DE investigation, the trigger of problems on all BPX nodes was attributed to SWSW error 9000 exception. This exception was caused by the CBUS message 0x60 (delete connections) to the BXM card. In the message, the start and end LCNs are specified to delete a range of connections. However, that start LCN is greater than the end LCN which is incorrect. Therefore, the BXM card sends an error to the BCC and logs the SWSW error 9000.

17. After a resetcd on the mismatched BXMs, the BXMs would recover.

Workaround: None.

CSCdw27395

Symptom: The following error message displays while adding an NTM_SR trunk: "Abandoned because remote node Transmit Rate setting is different."

Conditions:

1. When the 2048 kbps NTM-SR trunk is decreased to a data rate of 1024 kbps (or any lower data rate, for example, 1536), the data rate changed back to 2048 kbps using cnftrk x.

2. The trunk was added back in the network to see the error message.

3. The NTM-FW is NK02 and SWSW 9.3.4 I 4. This problem was seen on both Y-red and non-Yred cards for V.35 and X.21 interfaces.

Workaround: Decrease the data rate of the trunk (after deleting it) on both sides of the trunk (on igx5/21 and igx7/4). The corruption is done on both the sides, so the database sync up and the trunk can be added.

CSCdx20323

Symptom: The swerr752 is logged on the BPX when upgrading BXM FW to MF14.

Conditions: This issue occurs when upgrading BXM FW to MF14 on BPX.

Workaround: Unknown.

CSCdx27113

Symptom: Customer experienced Seconds in Service for the Frame Relay connections. Sometimes the connection reports more than 100% in service, for example, the value of Seconds in Service for one hour shows 3601 seconds.

Conditions: None.

Workaround: None.

CSCdx62131

Symptom: In a large network scenario using the standard (non concurrent) AutoRoute algorithm, trunks have failed. After they recover, some connections fail to route.

Conditions: When two nodes select the same random back off timer, this symptom can be verified by using nwtrace. Both nodes sw181 and sw155 were backing off for the same amount of time. The random backoff algorithm has to be enhanced to overcome this situation.

Workaround: Disable CM and enable CM (off1 11, on1 11).

CSCdx66192

Symptom: After a PVC comes out of and A-bit fail, SWSW does not send a connection alarm message (40, 17, 3, 1, 3) with AIS clear in the NNI Status Bit map to CWM. This failure causes the CWM to consider the connection with end-to-end status as AIS.

Conditions: This symptom occurs very intermittently, and the conditions are not known.

Workaround: Another event to trigger the update (such as the NNI status of the PVC going back to A-bit fail and clear) would normally clear this condition.

CSCdx87582

Symptom: Injecting errors at a rate of 10-3 into one line of a six-line IMA group on a UXM card causes the line to be declared in Major Frame Bit Error in the dspphyslnerrs output.

However this line is not removed from the UXM IMA group, which causes traffic passing over the trunk to error. Increasing the error injection rate to 10-2 causes the line to declare a Major Loss of cell. Then, the line is removed from the IMA group, and bandwidth is reduced.

PHYSLN Type Current Line Alarm Status TRK 3.1 E1/30 Clear - OK 3.1(6) 3.2 E1/30 Clear - OK 3.1(6) 3.3 E1/30 Clear - OK 3.1(6) 3.4 E1/30 Clear - OK 3.1(6) 3.5 E1/30 Clear - OK 3.1(6) 3.6 E1/30 Major - Frames Bit Errors 3.1(6) 31.1 T1/24 Clear - OK 31.1 32.1 T3/636 Clear - OK 32.1 32.2 T3/636 Clear - OK 32.2 32.3 T3/636 Clear - OK 32.3 Last Command: dspphyslns TRK Type Current Line Alarm Status Other End .1(6) E1/177 Clear - OK xx/3.1(6) 31.1 T1/24 Clear - OK xxx/10.1 32.1 T3/636 Clear - OK xx/12.1 32.2 T3/636 Clear - OK x/1.7 32.3 T3/690 Clear - OK xxx/9.1 Last Command: dsptrks

Conditions: This issue occurred in tests performed with 9.2.38 SWSW and ABR firmware on the UXM-E.

Workaround: Current workaround is to down the line, or remove it from the group until errors clear.

CSCdy06091

Symptom: Combining is not working correctly for NTS traffic.

Conditions: Combining is set to 1 for NTS traffic, so one FastPacket exists only in one cell. However, this condition only works in one direction.

Workaround: The problem appears to be caused by a particular trunk in the network. Reroute the connection away from each trunk one at a time until to problem trunk is located, and the connection is routed away from it.

CSCdy51577

Symptom: The trunk parameters using the Job could not be modified.

Condition: When more than one virtual trunk exists on a physical interface, configuring the trunk parameters on any one of these virtual trunks fails in the Job mode.

Workaround: Configure the virtual trunk through CLI.

CSCin16665

Symptom: Software error 3041 is generated after BXM-OC12 card was pulled out and reinserted. Connection database was corrupted.

Conditions: Some DAX PVCs existed on the cards between lines 1 and 2.

Workaround: None.

CSCin17429

Symptom: Tx/Rx cell statistics parameters are disabled for channels terminating on AIS-OC3 interface.

Condition: None.

Workaround: None.

CSCin17623

Symptom: Configured preferred path gets reset to Not Configured.

Condition: This symptom occurs while changing trunk cost of a trunk.

Workaround: None.

CSCin17893

Symptoms: Software log observed on the node while graceful upgrade from 9.2.38 to 9.21.4J (errors: 52, 516, 1120, 518, 1125, 502, 589, 504, and 505).

Conditions: Graceful upgrade from 9.2.38 to 9.2.4J.

Workaround: None.

Bug ID
Description

CSCdk22430

Status Change: Closed

Symptom: Checksum word 15 of backplane nvram is not recalculated when words 0-14 are updated using cnfbpnv.

Conditions: This bug was observed with BPX 9.1.01.

Workaround: No workaround is available at this time.

CSCdk91790

Symptom: SWSW system idle time is below 30% when more than 10 UVMs are activated.

Conditions: SWSW polls each activated UVM for modem status every 1 second for each port. SWSW also spends time processing the responses of the modem polling.

When many UVMs are activated, the modem polling handling consumes a lot of system time and resources (buffer queue), which affect system performance.

UVM FW has supported asynchronous event to report modem event. SWSW needs to stop polling modem status if the FW in UVM supports the asynchronous event.

Workaround: Use cnfnodeparm 46 to increase polling timer to improve system performance.

Further Problem Description: None.

CSCdm22426

Status Change: Closed

Symptom: While using jobs to down or up the connection based on a jobtrigger, the job fails if dspbob is executed while the control signal toggles.

Conditions: This issue was observed with IGX 8.2.56.

Workaround: Retrigger the job after executing the dspbob command.

CSCdp98648

Symptom: Equipment Manager cannot tell the different between BXM legacy or enhanced version.

Workaround: Log into the BPX node, and execute dspcd XX to determine the number of channel support. The enhanced version of the BXM card has 61K channels, and the BXM card has less than 61K channels.

CSCdr05291

Symptom: Problems deleting feeder trunks via SNMP or CiscoView

Conditions: switchIfService still must be specified to delete feeder trunks but not routing trunks.

Workaround: Use the CLI commands to delete feeder trunks.

CSCdr26161

Symptom: burnfwrev on a UXM card says "Already burning firmware. Try again later" for a long period of time (more than 10 minutes) if the UXM card is reset during the burnfw process (after the download is complete and after the Burn Addresses stop updating).

lasalle VT StrataCom IGX 8420 9.2.3j June 12 2000 11:32 GMT Firmware Size Status UXM-A.B.08 1196 K Burning into slot 10 (59 lives) File Address Length CRC Burn Address 10 BFCB0000 10000 4991784B BFCC0000 11 BFCC0000 10000 FF48BE27 BFCD0000 12 BFCD0000 10000 109BDBAA BFCE0000 13 BFCE0000 10000 4C9E590D BFCF0000 14 BFCF0000 10000 ABD1A902 BFD00000 15 BFD00000 10000 A2EB42FB BFD10000 16 BFD10000 10000 F541AA3E BFD20000 17 BFD20000 10000 6DA680B5 BFD30000 18 BFD30000 AC35 CB571C12 BFD3AC35 Last Command:burnfwrev A.B.08 10 c Already burning firmware. Try again later Next Command:

Conditions: Reset must be done after all burn addresses are updated.

Workaround: Do not reset the card during burnfw process.

CSCdr45021

Symptom: SCT 1 is the default SCT reserved for MPLS. When an SES trunk is provisioned and if the default SCT is not changed to SCT 3, the trunk will fail to come up.

Conditions: None.

Workaround: Ensure that SES uplink uses SCT 3 as service template class by changing the default SCT used before provisioning the trunk.

CSCds47671

Symptom: dspcurclk displays incorrect trunk numbers in the clock path.

eg. z5b 7--30z2a 24-- 9.1z3b

This should be 24.1 (the port is missing)

Conditions: You need the following clock path in dspcurclk for this problem to surface

destination IGX slot ------ slot via node slot.port ----- source node (IGX/IPX)

Workaround: None. This is a display issue only.

Further Details: The display attempts to display the port on the via trunk before it is properly set.

CSCdt07203

Symptom: The hitless rebuild log filled up due to repeated failed switchccs.

Conditions: A bad standby BCC is required. The node must be running at least 9.2.

Workaround: Clear the hitless log with the command dsphitless c. Or, switchcc less often, so the hitless rebuild log entries have a chance to age out of the log.

CSCdt22924

Symptom: Bad clock source during dn/upcd.

Condition: dncd/upcd causes the clock failure "Minor bad clock source".

Workaround: clrclkalm will clear the clock failure.

CSCdt43014

Symptom: SWLOG error 557 on BPX node occurs when deleting connections.

Conditions: BPX 9.3.11 MGX:1.1.32.

Workaround: None.

CSCdt55864

Symptom: The Cisco WAN Manager's Statistics Collection Manager cannot parse the TFTP statistics file received from the IGX node.

Conditions: This problem only occurs when the IGX node has FastPad connection enabled, and is collecting TFTP statistics on those connections.

Customer Impact: When this problem occurs the customer is not able to collect TFTP interval statistics from the IGX node.

Workaround: There is no work around for collecting the FastPad connection statistics. However, if you disable statistics collection on the FastPad connections, you can collect all of the other statistics.

Further Problem Description: When writing the variable key length for the various FastPad connection types, an extra byte is added. This byte throws off CWM parsing. The parser has no way of recovering. Therefore, the entire statistics file is discarded as corrupted or bad.

CSCdt66696

Symptoms: BTM-E3 backcard is displayed as AIT-E3 in CLI.

Conditions: BTM-E3 backcard is displayed as AIT-E3 in CLI.

Workaround: None. Ignore the display.

CSCdu15686

Symptom: Internal port diagnostics fails for V35/X21 ports. use "tstport" command.

After the above test, card goes to "Active-F" state as seen in "dspcds".

Conditiosn: The above problem is seen only when port is configured as DCE and not seen with DTE ports.

This condition was tested with UFMU F/W version YAM and YAN, and the same problem occured.

Workaround: None. The loopback test can only be initiated from a DTE port.

CSCdu16679

Symptom: Virtual trunk does not process traps received from ATM cloud, for example, when the associated cloud VPC goes down.

Conditions:

1. ILMI protocol for the virtual trunk is running on the BCC (BNI virtual trunk).

AND

The cloud port is NOT a BPX/IGX OR BPX/IGX with ILMI running on the BXM/UXM.

OR

2. ILMI protocol for the virtual trunk is running on the BXM or UXM.

AND

ILMI on the cloud port is running on the BCC/NPM of a BPX/IGX.

Workaround:

If ILMI is running on the BCC at the virtual trunk end (BNI virtual trunk), use the following workarounds:

If the ATM cloud is a BPX/IGX, make the protocol run on the BCC/NPM.

If the ATM cloud is not a BPX/IGX, there is no workaround. However, the ILMI implementation on virtual trunk will find the VPC status using GET_REQUEST.

For BXM virtual trunks and for UXM virtual trunks with protocol on the card, use the following workarounds:

If the ATM cloud is a BPX/IGX, make the protocol to run on the card.

If the ATM cloud is not a BPX/IGX, there should be no problem. The trap is recognized and processed.

CSCdu45358

Symptom: The switchover occured on BPX node when the active card was pulled out. The empty slot for this card was shown in the CLI, but the Network Browser was showing that the active card was still present.

Conditions: None.

Workaround: None.

CSCdu61769

Symptom: HDM connection bouncing since 9.2.38 SWSW Release. Lead RxD (pin 3) is bounced from Idle state to active state with high frequency (once or twice every second).

Conditions: This symptom happens when the connection rate is below 64K.

Workaround: Upgrade connection to 64K.

Further Problem Description: None.

CSCdu64553

Symptom: CLP 1 tagged traffic in a multi-vc environment cannot be differentiated from CLP 0 with the present default drop method on TAGCOS Qbins, EPD.

Conditions: EPD is the configured default. To differentiate CLP 1 marked traffic, CLP hysteresis instead should be configured.

Workaround: No workaround.

Further Problem Description: None.

CSCdp48861

Symptom: The customer may notice slow UI response or a difficulty logging into the node using the normal VT session. The dspprfhist command shows high RT usage in the TRNS process. The thstats shows high RT usage by state machine 55 (0x33).

Conditions: This is due to statistics updates for voice connections. It may be seen on nodes with a high number of voice cards and voice connections (IGX with CVMs and/or UVMs).

Workaround: The command off1 17 can be performed. Issuing this command stops the collection of voice connection statistics (for all connections, not just voice), as well as the operation of the debug command dspchstats.

If you must collect statistics, limit the number of statistics. Frame Relay statistics are collected at 5-minute intervals (configurable up to 15 minutes). Most voice statistics are reported at 1-minute intervals. However, the following statistics are reported at 3-second intervals:

Seconds V.25 Modem On

Seconds DSI Enabled

Seconds Off-Hook

Seconds In Service

CSCdr35223

Symptom: In 9.2.3z the aps dsptrks shows a communication failure when it has LOS.

Conditions: When active APS line is in LOS, do a switchapsln with option 4 to switch from protection line to working line. This switch will cause the trunk to fail. In 9.2.3z this condition shows that the trunk fails due to a communication failure.

Workaround: None.

CSCdr98080

Symptom: Software log 3052, 3017, and 362 were observed on a BPX node during switchcc.

Conditions: The above software log may occur on a BPX node during switchcc or node rebuild. The cause is still under investigation. The occurrence of this problem is rare.

Workaround: None.

CSCds16693

Symptom: Software log 1012 occurred on BPX when deleting a bundle of connections.

Conditions: The above software log may occur on an BPX node. The cause is still under investigation.

Workaround: None.

CSCds19443

Symptom: Software log 3017 occurred on a BPX node BXM feeder trunk.

Conditions: The above software log may occur on a BPX node. The cause is still under investigation.

Workaround: None.

CSCds57315

Symptom: Communication break observed between IGX feeder and IGX routing node following addshelf.

Conditions: Observed with IGX 9.2.23 and UXM FW CA19.

Workaround: No workaround available at this time.

CSCds68083

Symptom: After BCC rebuilt, PVCs are not programmed in standby BXM for Y-red and APS 1+1.

Conditions: This symptom occurs with SWSW 9.2.32.

Workaround: Reset standby BXM after BCC is rebuilt will reprogram all PVCs in the standby BXM.

Further Problem Description: After BCC is rebuilt, tstconseg will log swerr 9082.

CSCds81526

Status Change: Closed

Symptom:

1. The BPX and IGX nodes were loaded to their connections limit.

2. The dncon COS 0 i was issued on bpx03.

3. It took more that 2.5 hours to down about 70% of 16K connections (performance issue).

4. When the connections were downed, the master side and the slave side of the connections were showing down state which is correct.

5. Then, the upcon COS 0 command was issued to up all downed connections. The command was issued on a BPX node.

6. After CPU idle time reached 70%+ (steady-state) network wide, the master side of any connection is upped correctly (OK state). However, the slave side of the connection is still in down state (it should be in up state as well).

7. The problem is the upcon network messages were not propagated to the slave-side of the connection. The result is in spite of issuing upcon the master-side of the connection is upped, but the slave-side of the connection is still in down state.

8. This condition means upcon finite state machines could be timing out, or handling of such an inconsistent state under heavy loading still needs to be accounted for.

Conditions:

1. Almost all 9.2.34 + 9.2.23 SWSW and SWFW features were provisioned.

2. The nodes were loaded to their limit with maximum terminating connections, VTs, and so forth.

3. Topology is of a tiered network with MGX 8220 and IGX feeders, MPLS LSCs and LERs, and SES PNNI controllers.

Frequency: Intermittent.

Steps to re-create the problem: It is unclear whether or not it is reproducible.

Workaround: Issue the upcon command for each connection one by one, which is not efficient.

CSCds81894

Problem:

1. When SWSW 9.3.1j is downloaded to bpx02 by doing a loadrev, download to the active card's ROM is successful.

2. Then, SWSW is copied to the RAM of the standby card. The problem is when the download is in progress as seen by using "dspdnld" command. The download process will terminate and restart downloading SWSW into the RAM after about 12 to 13 blocks have been downloaded.

3. This problem has been observed many times

Symptom:

1. During the standby cards RAM being updated to the 12th or sometimes to the 13th block, the download process terminates and restarts.

2. This process can go into a loop for a long time

Setup:

1. Almost all 9.2.34+9.2.23 SWSW and SWFW features were provisioned.

2. The nodes were loaded to their limit with max terminating conns, VTs, and so forth.

3. Topology is of a tiered network with MGX 8220 and IGX feeders, MPLS LSCs and LERs, and SES PNNI controllers.

Conditions: Most of the configurable elements such as number of connections, number of trunks, and so forth were loaded to the switch limit.

Frequency: Reproducible.

Steps to recreate the problem: Do a loadrev in upgrades network node bpx02.

Workaround: Awaiting DE to be assigned to resolve the problem.

CSCdv33753

Symptom: On BPX nodes the following observations were made after a fall back from 9.3.30 to 9.2.34:

BPX node logged SWSW error 9000: APS 1+1 trk was in LOS, BXM card was in mismatch.

BPX node logged SWSW error 9000: BXM card mismatch, VT failure.

Conditions:

1. Network was being prepared for SWSW upgrade from 9.2.34 to 9.3.30 with UXM FW A.C.E, BXM FW M.F.25 at the time.

2. A script was run on all nodes to set parameters for upgrades, check databases, and do network captures.

3. SWSW 9.3.30 was loaded on the standby CC of all nodes (routing and feeder) using loadrev.

4. A runrev 9.3.30 was executed on each (node by node) at 10-15 minute intervals apart.

5. After all nodes (routing and feeder) were upgraded to SWSW 9.3.30, no events were taking place for 30 minutes.

6. A script was run to set the parameters after a node upgrade (for example, turning on statistics).

7. BXM FW M.F.25 was loaded on all nodes and burned on all BXM cards without any problems.

8. UXM FW A.C.01 was loaded on all nodes and burned on all UXM cards at the same time, which yielded no problems.

9. Network was allowed to settle for a long time due to rerouting until zero errors were in network and traffic resumed.

10. At this point the upgrade was successful.

11. A fall back to 9.2.34 was conducted on the entire network using the command: runrev 9.2.34 *. This command unlocked the standby CC and rebuilt the databases using the 9.2.34 BRAM.

12. After the network fallback, the network was allowed to settle over night.

13. After the fallback the network was running SWSW 9.2.34, UXM FW A.C.01, and BXM FW M.F.N.

14. While checking the network health in the morning, a number of problems were observed.

15. Symptoms on BPX nodes were narrowed to observation bpx01 and bpx05:

a. BPX node logged SWSW error 9000: APS 1+1 trunk was in LOS, BXM card was in mismatch.

b. BPX node logged SWSW error 9000: BXM card mismatch, VT failure.

CSCdv33753 (continued)

16. After DE investigation, the trigger of problems on all BPX nodes was attributed to SWSW error 9000 exception. This exception was caused by the CBUS message 0x60 (delete connections) to the BXM card. In the message, the start and end LCNs are specified to delete a range of connections. However, that start LCN is greater than the end LCN which is incorrect. Therefore, the BXM card sends an error to the BCC and logs the SWSW error 9000.

17. After a resetcd on the mismatched BXMs, the BXMs would recover.

Workaround: None.

CSCdv50311

Symptom: With 1E-3 errors injected on a BXM T3 trunk, connections do not re-route.

Conditions: The bit errors are randomly injected throughout the entire bit stream at a rate of 1e-3.

Workaround: None.

CSCdv91546

Symptom: Tstdelay failed in many connections on BPX with nrt-vbr type. tstdelay 3.1.1.100 Test delay timed out Next Command.

Conditions: BPX SWSW 9.2.32.

Workaround: None.

Further Problem Description: Built a new connection with the same path and tstdelay passed.

CSCdw07452

Symptom: 31 entries are there for T1 CVM card on IGX Node.

Conditions: In CM GUI equipment selector.

Workaround: Do not make connections on line > 24.

CSCdw18589

Symptom: In 9.2.34 when the physical interface for a virtual trunk is used as a network clock source, the source associates itself with the first virtual trunk on the interface. Should that trunk fail, the clock source fails and the system will search for a new source.

In this configuration, you are not allowed to set PASS SYNC to YES on the first virtual trunk (which is correct). However, you can set the virtual trunk for PASS SYNC YES. By setting PASS SYNC to yes on any other virtual trunk on the interface, the PASS SYNC is set to YES on all of the virtual trunks - even the first one which is associated with the clock source. Having a trunk as a clock source and setting it to PASS SYNC YES is an unsupported configuration.

In 9.3.30 the situation is slightly different in that a change made to any of the virtual trunks does not affect the first virtual trunk, which has the clock association. The problem is that if the first virtual trunk fails, the clock source associates itself with the second virtual trunk. If PASS SYNC were set to YES on that trunk, problems would result.

Conditions: Enabling PASS SYNC to YES on any virtual trunk (other than the first one) causes PASS SYNC to be set to YES on all virtual trunks associated with the interface - even the one tied to the clock source.

Workaround: If the physical interface for a virtual trunk is used as a clock source, do not set PASS SYNC to YES on any of the virtual trunks associated with the interface.

CSCdw28930

Symptom: When the highest number node switched BCC (the clock master node), the other nodes with external clock source switch its clock source.

Conditions: The highest number node (clock master) switch its BCC.

Workaround: None.

CSCdw51777

Symptom: When routing CGW connections over UXME trunk, discards are observed on Frame Relay endpoints. An FRM to BXM connection discards on the FRM at egress. An FRM to UFM connection shows discards on both the FRM and UFM at egress. FRM to FRM connections used so far have not shown any discards.

Topology of shortest hop connection is

8.9.100 NODE A 19.1----5.1 NODE B 6.1----11.9 NODE C 13.2.198.288 FRM-31-------UXME----UXME-------UXME---BXM---------BXM

Observations are connection when routed over this path shows discards on egress of FRM at NODEA none at NODE C. Trkstats on NODE C 11.9 clean Trkstats on NODE B 5.1 clean Trkstats on NODE B 6.1 clean Trkstats on NODE A 19.1 CGW Abrt Frms & Bad CRC32 Rx from Line. Channel statistics on UXM trunk show no discards FRM shows large number of discards.

Trunk 19.1----5.1 bert tested error free and is over straight cable between two co-located nodes. Cable and UXME cards (front and back) have already been replaced. Switchcc performed on NODE A & B Trunk has been deleted/added without result.

If connection rerouted so that it takes a different path between NODE A and NODE B but still passes over the other trunks then the discards stop.

Conditions: SWSW on both the IGX and BPX's is 9.2.38 FRM-31 are Running Model K rev B UXM-E's are Running Model B rev J BXM's are running Model F rev C.

Workaround: Only workaround is to reroute the connections off this trunk.

Workaround:

1. Rebuild the node by resetting the active card.

2. Send an event TO2 to self test state machine by using following command:

sthevt 53 242

Further Problem Description: There should also be a message logged when the CPU util drops below 50%. This is also not logged.

Pay close attention to the difference between IDLE time and CPU usage. CPU usage = 100 - IDLE time.

CSCdw68758

Symptom: SNMP channel counter statistics are not being updated.

Conditions: This problem occurs when SNMP channel counter statistics are collected, but interval statistics are not enabled.

Workaround: Enable at least 1 interval statistics on each connection.

Further Problem Description: The code will not cause a channel statistics poll to be generated unless:

1. At least1 interval statistics exist.

OR

2. The card supports AIS polling.

OR

3. The command [dspchstats] is invoked on the connection.

Poll for summary and SNMP channel statistics irrespective of whether interval statistics are enabled.

However, an old issue existed when the BPX increased to 4k connections where the summary statistics functionality reduced from all connections to only a subset of connections because of memory limitations. This problem has to be investigated to see if it is relevant to this issue.

CSCdw76695

Symptom: Software error 327 appears on multiple nodes after upgrade. Due to BTM trunks not supporting CGW connections.

Conditions: Large IGX/BPX network. Only happens on upgrade.

Workaround: Delete and re-add trunks.

Symptom: tstdelay is inconsistent when run from IGX on a connection between IGX and the MGX 8250 feeder. It is longer and varies anywhere between 10 - 40ms. tstdelay at the MGX is consistent and much lower:~4ms.

Conditions: Can be environment with minimal traffic. Reproduced in lab with 9.3.35 and 1.1.41.

Workaround: No known workaround.

CSCdw83716

Symptom: When adding the first connection to a UFMU port, the error message "Insufficient TDM bandwidth available" is properly displayed when there isn't enough UBUs available. However, the IGX will allocate all available UBUs, even when there are not enough, when attempting to add the connection. The IGX will not de-allocate them upon failure of the connection to add.

Conditions: This symptom only happens when the amount of UBUs available are less the number of UBUs required. Under this circumstance, this condition is always present.

Workaround:

Prior to Release 9.1:

1. Remove all connections from the port in question - delcon.

2. Reconfigure that port's "Configured Clock" to a very small number (e.g. 1024) - cnfport.

3. Add a connection from that port to another existing port - addcon d. delete that connection from step "c" - delcon.

Releases 9.1 and up:

1. If there are existing ports/connections on the card in question, follow "Pre 9.1" procedure.

2. If it is the only port on that card. a. remove all connections from the port in question - delcon b. remove the UBUs assigned to that card - setlogubus <cd #> 0

Further Problem Description:

Background: The IGX will assign the UBUs based on the "Configured Clock" of the port ONLY when the first connection is added. Inversely, the UBUs will ONLY be de-allocated when the last connection of the port is deleted.

CSCdw83716 (continued)

You might have this problem when 100% of the UBUs (or bus bandwidth) are allocated. This problem can be checked two different ways:

1. Use the command "dspbuses" and look for "(100%)" Allocated:

Use the command dspubus s (9.1 and up) to see if 0 UBUs are available:(There is no equivalent command for pre 9.1.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- i8430-1a TN Cisco IGX 8430 9.3.35 Feb. 26 2002 18:38 GMT UBU Usage Summary Snapshot 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Page 1234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123 1 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 2 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 3 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 4 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 5 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 6 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 7 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 8 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Total numbers of allocated UBUs = 584 Total numbers of available UBUs = 0 <-----HERE**************************

Last Command: dspubus s --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Also, if your UFMU is in standby (dspcds) and you see that UBUs are assigned to that card, you may have hit this bug.

Use the command "dspubus <card #>" (9.1 and up) to verify:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- i8430-1a TN Cisco IGX 8430 9.3.35 Feb. 26 2002 18:42 GMT

Special Installation/Upgrade Requirements

This section contains additional installation and upgrade requirements.

APS Issues

Upgrading from MEK and lower firmware to MFW when feeder trunks are utilized with APS while the BPX node does not have APS requires the following procedure:


Step 1 Change the MGX Release 1 feeder to use APS1+1 unidirectional AND disable K1K2 processing (may need to delete and then add back APS). On the BPX temporarily configure to use unidirectional mode.

Step 2 After MGX Release 1 dspapsln shows both lines OK, delete the APS line on the BPX.

Step 3 Proceed to upgrade the BXM cards as if YRED.

Step 4 After both cards are MFW, add back the APS on the BPX.

Step 5 Reconfigure both MGX Release 1 and BPX to use the appropriate APS configurations.


BXM cards with MCB/MDA firmware or later can be smoothly migrated to the MFA or above version of firmware by using Y-cable redundancy.

To upgrade a BXM card pair in Y-red configuration, complete the following steps:


Step 1 Upgrade the standby card with the MFA or above firmware version. Wait for all of the configuration to be downloaded into the card.

Step 2 Do a switchyred to switch to the card with firmware MFA or above version.

Step 3 Burn the other card with the desired version MFA or above firmware. Follow the standard firmware upgrade procedure for downloading and burning the firmware into the cards.

Step 4 If BCC SWSW version is 9.1.18 and dspnovram shows 0 or 4 for Number of Channel Stats, go directly to MFC or above versions from MCC.


For APS (1+1) MEx or MFA image versions are not to be treated as compatible with MFx (minus MFA) image versions. During an upgrade procedure from MEx or MFA image to MFx (minus MFA) image, both cards must be upgraded to the MFx (minus MFA) image with minimal interval between them.

The incompatibility is due to APS intercard messages from one end not being recognized by the other end. See bug CSCdu67053 for the symptoms caused by this incompatibility.

Intra-MFx (minus MFA) and intra-MEx upgrades are compatible.

Channel Statistics Issues

While upgrading from firmware, on OC3, 1 port OC12 BXM cards, if stats level on BXM is greater than 1, use one of the following upgrade procedures listed below.

Upgrade from firmware revision MEA or higher.


Step 1 Upgrade SWSW to 9.2.30 or higher.

Step 2 Upgrade the firmware to MFW.


Upgrade from firmware revision lower than MEA. This procedure avoids card mismatch.


Step 1 Upgrade firmware to MEC.

Step 2 Upgrade the SWSW to 9.2.30 or higher revision.

Step 3 Upgrade the firmware to MFW.

A firmware burn must not be interrupted. A card reset in the middle of burn firmware results in the BXM being maintained in the core state (identified by blinking yellow LED) or failed state (identified by a solid red LED). In this case the dspcds screen reports the card as FAILED. This state can be recovered by reburning the firmware into the card.


Features Obsoleted

The following features have been obsoleted:

1. VSI 1.0 is obsoleted by VSI 2.2 in the MDA release onwards.

2. From versions MFJ to MFN channel statistics level 0 is no longer supported for BXM-155-4, BXM-155-8, BXM-622, BXM-622-2, BXM-T3-8, BXM-T3-12, BXM-E3-8, BXM-E3-12 models. In MFN onwards conditional support for stats level 0 is revoked. See the Notes, Cautions, and Clarifications section point 13 for more details.

3. In all other models channel statistics level 0 is supported by all firmware versions (BXM-155-8DX, BXM-155-8D, BXM-155-4DX, BXM-155-4D, BXM-622-2DX, BXM-622-2D, BXM-622-DX, BXM-T3-12EX, BXM-T3-12E, BXM-T3-8E, BXM-E3-12EX, BXM-E3-12E, BXM-E3-8E).

Notes, Cautions, and Clarifications

1. BXM Model F firmware is intended for use with 9.3 switch software. BXM Model F firmware may be used to upgrade BXMs during the upgrade process from SWSW Release 9.2 to 9.3. BXM Model F firmware has not been tested for compatibility with SWSW Releases 8.4, 8.5, and 9.1. It is compatible with IOS version 12.05t2 or greater for MPLS.

2. M.F.E is a not on CCO as it is an SES specific release.

3. Protection Switching based on BER on BXM may not comply to standards. The GR-253 and ITU-T G.783 requires that switching be completed within 60 msec from the time the error starts. BXM is unable to detect BER threshold crossing until the next poll, which occurs every 250 msec. Thus, switching time may be up to 250 msec under certain circumstances.

4. In APS 1+1 default configuration, both back card LEDs show green when primary card is active and selection is from PROT line. When primary card is active and it is selecting from PROT, PROT backcard should be green, since it is carrying traffic. WORK backcard should also be green since that is the physical path for the primary (and active) card to pass traffic. Backcard LED green means the backcard is directly or indirectly carrying traffic, and pulling the backcard causes traffic disruption (CSCdm53430).

5. In APS 1+1 default configuration and a manual W->P is on and a switchyred is issued, a manual W->P event is logged. By default, on switchyred the new active card comes up in "clear" state. But in this case since there is a manual W->P on, the APS line switches to PROT and the switching is logged (CSCdm53404).

6. In APS 1+1 default configuration if the selected line is PROT and last user request is clear and a switchyred is issued, line switches to WORK. If the last user request is "clear", full automatic APS switching is in effect with the working line being active by default. When there is no last user switch request to switch to any particular line, the working line becomes active. (CSCdm53420)

7. When APS Annex B is added to local end which has the secondary card active, the APS trunk goes into Comm Failure for few seconds and then clears. If the secondary card is active, do a switchyred to make the primary card active. Then, add APS Annex B (CSCdm46359).

8. MFK and above versions support LCN CAC for Class of Services. The controller reserves some LCNs for control VC as default. These reserved LCNs cannot be used by any Class of Service in MFT. If all the LCNs for the partition have been used in a version earlier than MFK after the MFT version is updated in the switch, some connections may not be added. These connections try to use LCNs reserved for control VC which is not allowed. Configure more LCNs for the partition to make sure enough LCNs exist for all the connections.

9. The OC-3 MultiMode Fiber backcards do not support Y-cable redundancy.

10. APS 1:1 is not supported for VSI in versions before MFE. (Bug CSCdp42996) APS 1:1 should not be configured on ports intended to be used by PNNI or MPLS as after switchover traffic flow is stalled on the protection line for releases before MFE. However, in MFE and above, this problem is fixed.

11. Total bandwidth allocated to all VSI partitions on a BXM should not be more that OC12 rate, 1412832 cps. BCC SWSW allows users to configure more than OC12 rate, in which case all the PNNI connection commit requests are NACKed by BXM.

12. In firmware versions prior to MFF signaling bandwidth for an SES controller was not guaranteed. In MFF and above the signaling Qbin feature has been added (with SWSW 9.3.10 and above and SES image 1.0.10 and above) to guarantee signaling bandwidth.

13. Statistics level 0 for legacy BXM cards was obsoleted in Model F releases until MFN. However, in version MFP and above conditional support statistics level 0 for legacy cards is revoked. Statistics level 0 is not supported if VSI configurations exist on the card.

If a card was configured with statistics level 0 with VSI enabled in a previous release of firmware (Model C or E), upgrading to MFP or above revisions causes a mismatch on legacy cards. To avoid impacting VSI operations, reconfigure the card to statistics level 1 or above before upgrading.


Note BXME (enhanced cards) support all statistics levels unconditionally with all valid configurations, models, and releases.


14. Starting with MFP through this release of MFW, changes to the alarm handling have been implemented. Excessive BIP-8 error rates (10-3) which escalate into unavailable seconds (UAS) now report to SWSW as red alarms. Therefore, SWSW fails these connections and initiates trunk rerouting.


Note This feature is not active when APS is configured and enabled. However, an exposure might occur in configurations where APS is not enabled, on alternate trunk routes that do not exist, or on UNI ports. Because this feature is not configurable users who do not want this behavior should not upgrade to MFP through MFW. Instead, Users should wait for a subsequent SWSW BXM FW release in which this feature can be turned on and off (default is off) via CLI.


Known Anomalies

Table 41 lists the known anomalies for the BXM firmware.

Table 41 Known Anomalies in MFW Firmware  

Bug ID
Description
Apply to SES

CSCdw16017

Symptom: Traffic is only seen on the ingress of the master and slave nodes.

Condition: This problem is triggered by a network condition that causes the VPC to reroute. VPC experiencing this problem have been ABRSTD with VSVD enabled one megabits or larger VPC connections.

Workaround: Uping and downing the connection clears the problem.

No

CSCdx28781

Symptom: When inserting BIP-8 from an ADTECH test set into a OC-3 or OC-12, it is failing all connections and sending an AIS back to the test set. The proper response is only to send a FEBE back to the test set disconnected and reconnected to BXM with MEE.

Condition: Tested with 9.3.4P and MF14 (BETA TB) and results are the same as MFP.

Workaround: Unknown

No

CSCdx52484

Symptom: CBR traffic got dropped on ENNI link on BPX side where there is congestion.

Condition: resetcd of BXM can solve the problem.

Workaround: Unknown.

No

CSCdx72292

Symptom: BPX not allowing SES to cross-commit SPVCs

Conditions: SWSW 9.3.40 and BXM FW MF17 with 12000 SPVCs routed between two BPX/SES nodes only half are routed the rest are NACK'ed.

Workaround: There are two ways to work around:

1. When the sum of the policy parameter (% of the partition minimum bandwidth reserved for each service of class) is reaching 100% (PNNI partition only), provide at least 20 cells of common pool using cnfrsrc command.

For example:

the max bandwidth of partition 1 is X

and min bandwidth of partition 1 is Y

the max bandwidth of partition 2 is W

and min bandwidth of partition 2 is Z

Make sure that max (X, W, Y+Z) should be greater than Y+Z+20. Here, the total bandwidth allocated to that interface = max (X,W,Y+Z), the common pool for that interface = max (X, W, Y+Z) - (Y + Z).

2. When the common pool resulted from the cnfrsrc is zero, try to reduce the sum of the policy parameter (% of partition minimum bandwidth for each class of service) to less than 100% for PNNI partition.

Yes

CSCdy16927

Symptom: BXM LMI clears Abit alarms on SPVC feeder after switchcc or switchyred.

Conditions: SPVC feeder1 === BPX1/SES1=== BPX2/SES2 === SPVC feeder

**

1. The connection segment in the BPX/SES network is down.

2. The corresponding segment in the SPVC feeder is in Abit alarm.

3. After a switchcc or a BXM switchyred on BPX1, the BXM LMI session at "**" tells SPVC feeder1 to clear the Abit alarm on the segment corresponding to the downed VSI connection in the BPX/SES network.

Workaround: None.

Yes


Anomalies Fixed in MFW

Table 42 lists the anomalies that are fixed in MFW firmware.

Table 42 Anomalies Fixed in MFW Firmware  

Bug ID
Description

CSCdw80712

Symptom: 1:1 APS allows manual/forced switchapsln P->WLine.

Conditions:

1. 1:1 APS with Bi-Dir configured; remote is AXSM/B.

2. Manual switchaps W->PLine from AXSM/B.

3. Forced switchaps P->WLine from BXM.

Workaround: None.

CSCdx45385

Symptom: BXM did not update SES with the latest available cos level LCN when there is cnfrsrc LCN resources (LCN) change on this partition (part_min_lcn, part_max_lcn).

Conditions:

1. A PNNI partition has been configured with some connections up. dsppnportrsrc reports the correct available lcn for each cos level.

2. Do cnfrsrc on this partition, to change the min_lcn and max_lcn at partition level. The available lcn at cos level in SES dose not get updated.

Workaround: Add a con or down a con to trigger the update.

CSCdx55794

Symptom: BXM incorrectly sends back LMI version 4 to IGX AAL5 feeder, while it does not support LMI version 4.

Conditions:

1. IGX AAL5 feeder is added to a BXM feeder trunk in the BPX.

2. IGX feeder LMI is running LMI version 4, and talk to BXM LMI.

Workaround: None.

CSCdx56537

Symptom: Setting cnftrkparm 9 2500/15000 causes trunk failure.

Conditions: BXM running MFU firmware. Found in lab environment but likely to also be found in a live network if these trunk parm values are used and the trunk passes over another medium such as a TDAX or SDH backbone.

Workaround: Set cnftrkparm 9 2500/10000 which is the default for STM1. Do not use the values 2500/15000 for cnftrkparm 9. Tests have yet to show if this would effect other values but default settings have been confirmed problem free.

CSCdx59080

Symptom: Customer is performing tests of MFU firmware prior to deployment in live network and has found that when a BXM trunk is configured for loop clock yes at both ends it remains in a "Looped Back" state when the BXM is reset by command "resetcd ? h".

Conditions: BXME trunk needs to be configured for loop clock yes and the BXM card be reset. Tests showed that causing a LOS or resetting the card again would not recover the trunk.

Workaround: Issue cnftrk and change none of the parameters by stepping through them.

CSCdy01870

Symptom: SIMBA reset card errors logged due to PRFD Pending Errors

Conditions: BXM image MEE and SWSW image 9.3.00

Workaround: None.

CSCdy01951

Symptom: Unnecessary alarms are triggered when BXM sends slot errors to SWSW.

Conditions: The FW adds all slot errors before sending them to BCC. There are situations when the number of traffic related slot errors will trigger unnecessary alarms on SWSW. These alarms will be suppressed.

Workaround: None.

CSCdy05515

Symptom: Current BXM firmware only support a few stats counters. In order to enhance customer operation and maintenance capability, a few new stats counters have been added. The detail description about the new created stats and associated CLI cmd and MIB can be found in the latest VSI document. See DDTS case CSCdy05597 (SES and Mibs).

Conditions: All previous FW do not support the new connection stats.

Workaround: Not applicable.

CSCdy13987

Symptom: Newly added routed SPVC carries counter values of previously deleted SPVC.

Conditions: Delete routed SPVC. Then re-add the SPVC with same VPI/VCI values.

Workaround: Problem is fixed in MFW (MF20).

CSCdy75277

Symptom: pnport stuck in down state

Conditions: Configure PNNI trunk between SES and MGX 8850 (PXM45) using automation script PROU001.

Workaround: Unknown.


Anomalies Fixed in MFV

Table 43 lists the anomalies that are fixed in MFV firmware.

Table 43 Anomalies Fixed in MFV Firmware 

Bug ID
Description

CSCdr55738

Symptom: Switchyred on APS 1+1 trunks is taking longer than 250 msec

Condition: Performed switchyred on APS 1+1 with SWSW 9.3.10 and BXM FW MF17

Workaround: Unknown

CSCds20584

Symptom: BW change by cnftrk command does not change ER stamping BW.

Condition: When the AR ABR STD connection is programmed and the bw of trunk is changed by the cnftrk command. The changed BW does not take effect.

Workaround: Manually reset the card.

CSCdu09831

Symptom: APS fails when working backcard (active or standby) is removed from chassis when working front card is active.

Conditions: The working front card has to be the active card when working backcard is removed. This occurs when APS 1+1 ITUT non-revertive bi-directional configuration SWSW 9.2.34BXM fw MFJ.

Workaround: In operational situations always have the protecting front card and protecting backcard as active. Any failures will then switch ok and either backcard can be swapped while protecting front card is active.

CSCdv86732

Symptom: Incorrect values for Path Unavailable Seconds statistics are displayed under dspplyslnstathist. The displayed counts maybe higher than expected. For example, over a 900 second period, 910 Path UAS counts may be displayed.

While Path UAS stats are referred to specifically, other duration statistic counts could be affected as well.

Conditions: The problem occurs under the following conditions:

BXM line or trunk

The line or trunk is in major alarm (e.g. LOS, AIS, YEL)

Statistics are collected on the line or trunk to report the duration of the alarm condition (e.g. UAS).

The automatic trunk/line loopback test is disabled using the cnffunc command.

Workaround: None

CSCdw06552

Symptom: Conns should stop passing traffic when dnpnport on UNI port on SES.

Conditions: There were some SPVC connections including double-ended and single-ended SPVC connections between SES and MGX 8850 (PXM45) node.

Both UNI ports were connected to Adtech tester. Executed dnpnport on UNI port on SES, all the connections went to AIS state on MGX 8850 (PXM45) node. Started passing traffic on all those connections, the AIS state was cleared on all the connections, though AIS was still sent out from SES side, but the other end could not distinguish OAM cells from the data traffic.

When pnport is down, the connection on that interface should be programmed to set Inhibit Rx Data or send AIS out the UNI port, and stop passing traffic into the network, so that the other end can interpret OAM cells.

Workaround: Unknown.

CSCdw21798

Symptoms: Forced switchapsln when secondary section has failed is accepted.

Condition: APS AnnexB between MGX 8850 (PXM45) and BPX (OC12), remove Tx and Rx cables on working section 1.

Workaround: Unknown

CSCdw51601

Symptom: dspportstats on BXM shows Rx as Zero even the port has traffic passes in both directions.

Condition: Not every single port has this problem. However we found multiple cards in the customer network have this issue. All the problem ports are T3 ports.

Workaround: None

CSCdw81944

Symptom: APS switch options 4,5,6 should not be allowed on AnnexB protocol.

Conditions: Upon switchapsln options 4, 5, 6.

Workaround: Unknown

CSCdw83849

Symptom: APS 1+1 configured between AXSM/B and BXM running ITU-AnnexB protocol:

APS Lockout request (on BXM) doesn't keep selector position.

Conditions: APS Setup: MGX8850 (AXSM/B) ----> BPX (BXM)

APS 1+1, AnnexB Trigger:

1. On AXSM/B, apply APS force switch from Working section 1 (WS1) to WS2

2. On BXM, apply lockout request, selector switches to WS1 which is incorrect. Lockout should indeed freeze selector position to WS2 in this scenario.

Workaround: Unknown

CSCdw94327

Symptom: With 1:1 configuration; either WL or PL in LOS, BPX always sends RDI-P to AXSM/B.

Conditions:

1. Configured Intra 1:1 APS.

Forced switchaps W->PLine for both APS lines. Active on Plines.

2. Removed the WL-Rx from remote ends.

Active stayed on PLines, both lines in Minor alarms. Remote node receives RDI-P on the failed line.

Workaround: Unknown

CSCdx05529

Symptom: Removing cable on protection line followed by switchyred card on remote node cause remote Yel major alarm on the trunk.

Conditions: It only happened with ITUT protocol with APS 1+1 mode

Workaround: Unknown

CSCdx29896

Symptom: VrmRetLcnResources CD error logged on BXM

Conditions: Run AutoRoute/MPLS/PNNI on BPX network. Three partitions (2 MPLS, 1 PNNI) are on an interface with a VC Merge Parent connection

Workaround: Unknown

CSCdx32780

Symptom: Card went to Failed state during normal operation with card error "rt_task.c 1258 Task low on real time, SRCID = 4"

Conditions: SWSW 9.3.36 SPVC connections. BXM FW MFU

Workaround: Unknown

CSCdx49312

Symptom: SES cannot add PVC with PCR = linerate

Condition: With old ses image and BXM image ses doesn't allow to add connection and cli will reject.

Workaround: Use BXM MFV and related SES image (1.1.79).

CSCdx52531

Symptom: APS standby CD to active but no response to BCC after reset active BXM

Conditions: Enable VSI partition for MPLS and with APS configuration on BXM on BPX

Workaround: Manually reset BXM.

CSCdx69563

Symptom: Continuous 105 and CD errors logged on BXM cause spvc down on SES

Conditions: Configure 100K SPVC on BPX with SES

Workaround: Unknown

CSCdx73291

Symptom: Fatal card error happened on BXM card in slot 9 after doing a full hitless rebuild on node. The card error should be a Non Fatal card error.

Conditions: A full hitless node rebuild was done on a node with many connections. This problem is related to a temporary HDLC queue overflow and should not be a fatal error.

Workaround: Unknown

CSCin03340

Symptom: BXM sends ILMI trap with incorrect number of PVCs

Conditions: The SWSW 9.3.40 feature "configurable number of changes per ILMI trap" needs support from the FW when ILMI is run by the card.

Workaround: Unknown


Anomalies Fixed in MFU

Table 44 lists the anomalies that are fixed in MFU firmware.

Table 44 Anomalies Fixed in MFU Firmware  

Bug ID
Description

CSCdt90381

Symptom: A small outage (approx 10 msec) occurs on VPCs terminating/originating on BXM.

Condition: This will occur only during hitless rebuild.

Workaround: None

CSCdu21825

Symptom: The WINGZ shows the RX Network stat as zero even when data flows through the network.

Conditions: Occurs only on a BPX-SES Network.

Workaround: The data at the CLI shows the correct statistics, For right now the cli data can be used instead of WINGZ. Or Use MFU or later image.

CSCdu71237

Symptom: BXM card did not automatically switch to standby card

Condition: When Non Fatal Error "0xc000002" occurred on BXM trunk card and the traffic worsened.

Workaround: None

CSCdv31049

Symptom: BXM sets K1 Tx to Force Switch instead of Reverse Request even though remote had already been sending a Force Switch. BXM, however, maintains the correct line.

Condition: Remote end already had a Force Switch to Working line in effect, and local BXM receives a user command to do a Force Switch to the Protection line.

Workaround: Clear the BXM Force switch command.

CSCdv89925

Symptom: ACR is only 10 when VC shaping is enabled for UBR con

Condition: Trunk VC Shaping feature on BXM card is configured between two nodes. UBR connections are routed between the nodes.

CSCdv77996

Symptom: dspapsln reports wrong info w.r.t. aps when one of the yred cards is out.

Conditions: This bug fix is available in firmware release MFR, but swsw bug fix should be there in order to have the complete solution.

SWSW bug: CSCdw35862 9.3.30 MJ01

Further Problem Description: When one card of aps pair is removed, then reset dspapsln shows lines as ok. Should show card failed or missing.

CSCdw06552

Symptom: Conns should stop passing traffic when dnpnport on UNI port on SES.

Conditions: There were some SPVC connections including double-ended and single-ended SPVC connections between SES and MGX 8850 (PXM45) node. Both UNI ports were connected to Adtech tester. Executed dnpnport on UNI port on SES, all the connections went to AIS state on MGX Release 2 node. Started passing traffic on all those connections, the AIS state was cleared on all the connections, though AIS was still sent out from SES side, but the other end could not distinguish OAM cells from the data traffic.

When pnport is down, the connection on that interface should be programmed to set Inhibit Rx Data or send AIS out the UNI port, and stop passing traffic into the network, so that the other end can interpret OAM cells.

Workaround: None

Note This is a partial fix and relies on a SES DDTS CSCdv48496 for resolution.

CSCdw21798

Symptoms: Forced switch when secondary section has failed is accepted.

Condition: APS AnnexB between MGX 8850 (PXM45) and BPX (OC12), remove Tx and Rx cables on working section 1.

Work around: None

CSCdw25074

Symptom: When inserting 1E-03 errors into the whole frame of STM-4 trunk 3.1 (errors inserted in the direction A to B) BPX A becomes unreachable i.e. cannot telnet to BPX A. VT to A from another BPX times out and there's an HPOV event stating that the link is down to A.

The other nodes in the network remain reachable. BPX node log shows that the BCC has a suspected failure (Which indicates corruption of the BCC self test)a few minutes after inserting the errors into the trunk at B.

Removing the errors from the trunk results in BPX becoming reachable. Same problem seen with the other BCC active. This is consistently reproducible. If reroutes on another trunk (e.g. trk 1.1) are taking place when the errors are being inserted into trk 3.1, the connections (which are pref 'd' onto trk 1.1) remain derouted until the errors are removed from trk 3.1.

Conditions: Errors inserted at 10 -3 in one direction from A to B cause A to go unreachable. Found in lab environment running 9.2.38 with MFN firmware on 155 and 622 optical card types.

Workaround: DNTRK to force a reroute.

CSCdw53395

Symptoms: Traffic disrupted in the via node. No ais is propagated to other master end if slave end port is down.

Conditions: mostly when MGX 8850 (PXM45) is connected to SES.

Workaround: None

Conditions: 9.3.3i MFR

Workaround:

Further Problem Description: When there is a congestion on MGX egress port, MGX 8850 (PXM45) sets EFCI=1 for all SPVCs/xpvcs on that port to the downstream.

CSCdw62999

Symptom: BPX sends a wrong value for K1

Condition: APS interop testing between BPX and AXSM/B OC-3.

Workaround: None

CSCdw63238

Symptom: BXM sends RDI trap to SES which does a dnpnport

Conditions: Config is bxm uni with aps 1+1, SW 9.3.35, FW MFR, SES SW 1.1.71.

Workaround: None

CSCdw75999

Symptom: Dspconstats on an SES CLI for an SPVC connection shows that clp0 discards and clp1 discard counts are interchanged.

Conditions: SES 1.0(14), BXM FW MFR

Discards due to the policing action are reported incorrectly in dspconstats cmd. Discards due to congestion are reported correctly.

Workaround: None

Update BXM FW to MFU or later.

CSCdw88723

Symptom: Say BXM1 is a BME card. BXM2 is normal BXM card running fw image MFC-MFT. Multicast root connection runs from BXM2 to BXM1 and fans out to other connections at BXM1 port 2. We will see high number of ingress cell discards on the root connection at BXM2.

Condition: BXM2 running f/w image between MFC to MFT

Workaround: None. Use firmware image MFU or later on BXM2.

Symptom: ENNI change EFCI to 0 when receive EFCI =1 from MGX45.

Conditions: SWSW: 9.3.3i, BXM FW: MFR

When there is a congestion on MGX egress port, MGX45 sets EFCI=1 for all SPVC's/xpvc's on that port to the downstream.

Workaround: None


Anomalies Fixed in MFR

Table 46 lists the anomalies that are fixed in MFR firmware.

Bug ID
Description

CSCdv90721

Symptom: The prevalent symptom is Tx BIP 16 and B-Frame Parity slot errors on BXM-622 or BXM-155 cards. Occasional SIU Phase and Rx BIP 16 errors may also occur on BXM-622 and BXM-155 cards depending on the severity of the problem.

Conditions: Can occur with any version of BXM firmware on BXM-622 or BXM-155 cards. The aggregate cell transfer rate of the BXM card is 1,412,832 cells/second so the problem can occur on BXM-622 or BXM-155 cards even if the load on each line is well below line rate. The problem occurs during oversubscription when multiple high speed cards have traffic destined for a particular card through the switching fabric.

Workaround: To solve the BCC-4 software error 742 problem upgrade switch software to 9.1.22, 9.2.31, 9.3.00 or later.

CSCdw16362

Symptom: The BXM card changed the state from active to empty for a particular slot and failed to communicate with the BCC.

Condition: Switch software was upgraded for the particular BXM and statistics were enabled before the current state. Now the particular slot is in empty state although both front and back cards are present for the slot.

This loop happened because of spvc statistics task. It happens when new spvc_config_stats command comes in the vsi message with more than currently configured stat ids. Due to this the data base will be updated. During this update some flag was not set properly and it leads to a loop.

Workaround: Not known other than the physical removal of the card. Or, use MFR or later images.

CSCdm50659

Symptom: Trunk alarms are not generated when random bit errors are injected onto a trunk using an Adtech Sx14 test set at a rate of 10E-3. There are trunk statistics generated but no trunk alarm because the statistics that cause alarms on do not meet the threshold for MAJOR or MINOR alarms.

Conditions: This was generated in a lab environment with test equipment that was set to inject bit errors randomly through the entire bandwidth. Some HCS errors were generated as well as Path unavailable and Path Farend unavailable.

Workaround: Lowering the alarm threshold for MAJOR and MINORHCS errors can help to generate a trunk alarm. Use the cnflnalm command and modify the Hcserr alarm thresholds to .01 for MAJOR and .0001 for MINOR.

These thresholds are as low as they can be set currently.

CSCdt82384

Symptom: APS trunk built on bxm-155-4d. sf and sd thresholds set to 5 and UNI-direction non-revertive switching with cnfapsln.

Random logic errors inserted into the working pair of the trunk to observe protection switch at sf threshold.

Good switch at 1 in 103 and 105 but when 1 in 104 inserted trunk goes unstable repeatedly switching from working to protection and vice versa.

Trunk continues to toggle until errors removed.

Conditions: BXM-155 enhanced cards using APS card cage and injecting 10^4 error rate into one of the working lines.

Workaround:

Description

CSCds47753

Symptoms: Card error will happen in standby "VrmDekConnEndPoint Try to delete".

Condition: When standby syncs up with active, it tries to delete a not existing connection.

Workaround: The card error indicates that there is a invalid try of deleting a non-existing connection. It should not create any problem in existing or new connection.

CSCds75845

Symptom: There is no ER stamping cell generated from BPX in SES environment. Although, CI is set to be off and ER is on by using cnfabrparam, CI cells are still observed where there is congestion.

Condition: When the connection is routed by PNNI (created by using SES controller.)

Workaround: No workaround

CSCdt55356

Symptom: After configured status of all nni links to dwon at SES node svcpop2, then configured all links up. while the 100k SPVC connections are derouting and rerouting. at bxm, slot 11, 12, 13 and 14 are reset by itself.

Condition: MGX nodes p2spvc4 and p2spvc3(via node) both have standalone PXM45-B card.

Initially 100K spvc connections have been established between p2spvc4 and SES node svcpop2 end points.

Workaround: It was found that a deadlock in the firmware code (SC_task and device's driver). In order to solve the problem, mutual-exclusion semaphore is selected for QE, SABRE, SIMBA and RCMP instead of binary semaphore.

CSCdu21842

Symptom: ILMI does not report correct status of the ATM PVCs when Protocol by card is enabled.

Conditions: When a BPX is connected to a router through a BXM card and ILMI Protocol is run by the card.

Workaround: None.

CSCdu04976

Symptom: Around 200 SPVCs stuck in Rx ais after resetting BCC.

Conditions: Resetting the BCC during resync with a SES controller causes this problem as the AIS bit-map is cleared.

CSCdu63175

Symptom: LOF and Bert_SD alarm uncleared on BXM

Conditions: 1+1 aps with bi-dir on BPX and MGX

Workaround: switchcdred/switchyred on BXM

CSCdu89263

Symptom: When running XLMI on a BXM port which is connected to an AXSM enni port, BXM XLMI sending slot 0 and incorrect port number in the node status msg.BXM XLMI is configured with polling disabled.

Condition: Running XLMI and disable the polling.

Workaround: Enable the polling, then disable it.

CSCdv18519

Symptom: In reading MF* BXM MFM fw release notes, it was discovered the Stats collection level 0 is no longer supported in MFM and beyond. Ie, Stats level 0 supports 32k cons stats level 1 16k cons.

Condition: 9.3.3V

MF21

Workaround: See MFM release notes Stat level 0 no longer supported on Legacy BXM cards.

CSCdv21924

Symptom: By running XLMI, when the NodeStatus message didn't get ack back, it would retry every T396 (polling timer), instead of using the correct T393 timer.

Condition: When XLMI is configured and link/line is down. XLMI NodeStatus retry mechanism kicks in. But a wrong timer T396 was used for retrying interval.

Work around: It won't cause any service interrupting or deteriorating and it won't show up under normal operating condition. If a specific NodeStatus retry interval is really needed, one can configure T396 to that value temporarily before the fix is in.

CSCdv21999

Symptom: BXM sends a port failure VSI msg to the controller after switchyred.

Conditions: Under yred configuration, and running LMI on PNNI port on this card. Switchyred so the standby card become active and the port on standby card from failure state to OK.

Workaround: None

CSCdv32466

Symptom: A enni port is still showing as failed after switchyred when it becomes OK.

Conditions: Yred and APS 1+1 are configured. XLMI is runng on the enni port. On the previous active card, the port was in a fail state. When the failure got recovered very quick during the switchyred, BXM missed the OK report to BCC, so BCC still shows this port as fail state.

SW and FW version: 9.3.30 MF25

Workaround: None

CSCdv43448

Symptom: The command dsppnports shows the port in "LostConnectivity" state.

Condition: Disable ilmi on bpx using cnfvsiif

Work Around: Reset the card. This problem happens only in MFN due to the chkin done in Aug 13 2001. Or use Firmware image newer than MFN.

CSCdv52437

Symptom: Comm Failure after Working line experiences "Remote Yellow"

Conditions: APS 1+1 bidirectional mode GR-253 and ITU After remote experiences LOS on Protection line, the local active Working line will have a Remote Yellow alarm. This alarm eventually causes a Communications failure, and traffic will be rerouted.

Workaround: Use unidirectional mode

CSCdv57400

Symptom: Customer removes commands under ATM interface or tears vc down and up again the router will send two traps to the BXM VSI port but only looks like it is re-acting to the first trap hence the remote router will receive AIS and then transmit RDI. The connection will never come out of this state unless the remote end from the SES is bounced.

Conditions: Must be attached to a PNNI VSI port on the BXM.

Workaround:

1. Switch ILMI off on the port.

2. Disable oam-manage on the routers.

CSCdv58157

Symptom: On BXM switchover, the VSI abr VP falls to MCR.

Condition: BXM FW up to MFN (MF30). Standby BXM should collect this VP abr connection during initial data transfer phase. ie. Standby BXM is inserted later than active card or is reset after connection provisioning. Check with 'rsh slot# sabre GetSabreParams sabre# lcn#' and look for 'Path con' field. Switchover to stdby in this case will cause the problem.

Workaround: Reassert/resync all the connections. Use firmware later than MFN.

CSCdv62493

Symptom: BXM does not send Node status counters to BCC

Conditions: XLMI is running on card

Workaround: None. This is an enhancement.

CSCdv66806

Symptom: Dax conn does not get rerouted if added when slave interface is down; and later when slave interface is brought back up.

Condition: This is applicable only for dax conns on SES - not on MGX2.

Workaround: Delete and re-add the dax conn when the slave interface is up - it will get routed.

CSCdv86166

Symptom: A feeder trk shows UNREACHABLE after switchyred, while it was actually uprunning without any communication problem.

Condition: When running FDR-LMI in a yred pair, the FDR trunk was in a fail state. After switchyred, the FDR trunk changed its state to be OK, however, dspnode still shows this fdr trk was in the UNREASHABLE state.

Workaround: No service impact, though the fdr trk shows as unreachable. To get the correct state, reset the card.

Workaround: Unknown

CSCdu26023

Symptom: When PNNI&MPLS partitions are configured in a interface with no common pool of bandwidth, only one of the partition will be working fine and the other partition will not come up.

Conditions: When PNNI&MPLS is configured in a interface with no common pool of bandwidth, due to the rounding up of the bandwidth for each service type in PNNI by policy parameters, the total bandwidth of a partition, resulted from adding bandwidths of all service types, will go beyond the max bandwidth of both partitions. Because of this, only the first partition will succeed and the other partition will be rejected by cac.

Workaround: Provide at least 20 cells of common pool using cnfrsrc command.

CSCds32845

Symptom: Connection commits rejected with reason 'no resources even when resources are actually available.

Conditions: Enabling/disabling a virtual trunk.

Workaround: Resetting the BXM after disabling a VT on any interface on the card.

CSCds37237

Symptom: When upgrade BXM firmware image to BXMMFH from images between BXMMFC-BXMMFF, if the network migration flag was enabled in a card before the upgrading, then after burning the new image to the card, the network migration flag becomes disabled mistakenly.

Conditions: The problem only happens to the card whose previous image is BXMMFC-BXMMFF, and the network migration flag was enabled before upgrading, and BXMMFH has to be the new image.

Workaround: Upgrading to image BXMMFH+ (not including BXMMFH), will not have any problem. network migration flag is always enabled, and no user command available any more to disable it.

Only for the situation you need to upgrade image to BXMMFH and your card's previous images is BXMMFC-BXMMFF, you may see the problem. The workaround is, issue either the "rsh <slot> cdcfg network dis" command before the upgrading, or "rsh <slot> cdcfg network ena" after the upgrading, to enable the network migration flag on BXMMFH.

CSCds59710

Symptom: Loss of traffic on a VPC connection added with VPI=0.

Conditions: SWSW: 9.3.10

BXM FW: MFF

The port on which the VPC connection has been added has a VSI ctrlr attached to it and the Ctrlr is usingVPI=0 and VCI=x for its signalling channel.

Workaround: If a VPC connection exists with VPI=0, on the port to which a Ctrlr is to be added, configure the signallingchannel on the controller side to use a VPI other than 0.

CSCds63578

Symptom: SW errors 105 logged on BXM while adding VSI connections. Subsequent card errors saying CB_TASK restarted.

Conditions: This error sometimes happen when a VSI partition is enabled/disabled many times.

Workaround: Reset the BXM.

CSCds65105

Symptom: When pumping the ATM CBR traffic at the rate over = of port line rate (BXM-622), at the egress 'dspchstats' shown the number of cells 'From Network' twice larger than 'To Port'.

Conditions: DAX conn from BXM-622 port 1-2 on the same node with ADTECH generate traffic.

Workaround: None

CSCds67854

Symptom: SPVC cannot be routed over the virtual trunk even when enough bandwidth and lcn are available. Routed connections discard some traffic.

Conditions: Routing connections of different service types over the virtual trunks.

Workaround: None.

CSCds04137

Symptom: Channels remain mismatch after lockout is cleared

Conditions: In ITU-T Annex B protocol for APS, when a condition causes a switch to occur while a lockout request is present, the channel change will not resynchronize even after the lockout is cleared.

Workaround: No

CSCds53645

Symptom: ABR connections (PNNI) not programmed properly for redundant slave.

Conditions: Switchyred. When connection is added, redundant card is not there and inserted at later stage.

When connection is added, no redundant config, addyred at later stage.

Workaround: None

Description

CSCds14495

Symptom: Dynamic Partitioning and SPVC AIS generation would not work on a card until a rsh command is issued to enable the network migration flag and reset the card.

Conditions: When a card comes up and has never enabled the network migration flag for life time.This network migration flag is used for enabling dynamic partitioning and SPVC AIS, status report generations. By default, the flag is disabled.

Workaround: Use the "rsh <slot> cdcfg netmig en/dis" command to enable/disable the flag, then reset the card once in a lifetime.

Table 54 Anomalies Fixed in MFF Firmware  

Bug ID
Description

CSCds08448

Symptom: ERS (explicit rate stamping) is working only first virtual trunk and NOT for subsequent VTs (standard ABR)

Conditions: When ERS is enabled on a card basis using "cnfabrparm", the mapping is done on a port-by-port basis. The port_vi is used but for virtual trunks, this mapping does not hold true. Need to change the mapping to the physical port.

Workaround: On any physical port, just set up one virtual trunks. Or a physical trunk. Multiple VTs on the same physical port will cause a problem.

CSCdr79610

Symptom: Change booking factor for a class of service, get rejected.

Conditions: When there are some connections established, and some of the class of service have used bandwidth exceeding their reserved, change booking factor for any class of the service may get rejected.

This is because it fails the check which should only be called when cos_min_bw in the policy parameters is changed. This check should not be called when booking factor is changed.

Workaround: Disable that partition, change the booking factor, then enable the partition again. Or keep the used_bw for all cos under teh cos_min_bw, you will be able to change booking factor freely.

CSCdr76334

Symptom: Connect OC3 port on BXM with 7200 router, connect 2 OC3 ports back to back. enable ILMI on router, and ILMI, protocol on card cnfrsrc VSI part 1 disable NebDiscovery on ports.when running cnfnodeparm 56 0|1 and With VSI disabled, peer info is transmitted to peer. delcntrl, and cnfrsrc deleting VSI partition, fails to disable Peer information as well.

Conditions: ilmi_enable_from_contrl bit was not cleared when delctrlr, or vsi partition deleted, thus vsi code kept issuing get requests and responding to peer information.

In AR/VSI hybrid networks, and for backward compatibility either BXMs w/o NebDisc, or swsw versions. Topo traps are not sent to downrev'd swsw versions, and are controllable by sw software for versions including the feature.

Code was added to properly support disabling of VSI functionality using delctrlr or cnfrsrc @ Bcc in addition to existing dnpnport @ the vsi controller. support for backrev'd cards added, and corrections to logic in Ilmi FSM state machine to properly send TopoTrap to BCC.

Workaround: None

CSCdr79936

Symptom: Stats files not generated/missing on some 15 minutes intervals.

Conditions: When system time is changed at 15 minutes boundaries.

Workaround: Minimize system time and card config changes.

CSCdr83144

Symptom: Card error of:

Description: 'N. Fatal from 0x17: 0x25120075 0x809b5f90 0x367e 0x1

Conditions: switchyred, switchcc or reset PXM when there are spvc connections with stats enabled.

Workaround: None

CSCds11484

Symptom: Available cell rate reported by BXM is incorrect.

Conditions: Sum of the minimum bandwidths of all the interfaces on a BXM reaches OC12.

Workaround: Reduce minimum BW on all interfaces by half.

CSCdr89217

Symptom: Software Error Log of 9098

Conditions: cnfrsrc of partition 3 using MEB firmware

Workaround: None

CSCdr89966

Symptom: Card Error of 0x41030006

Conditions: PXM controller is upgraded/re-booted

Workaround: None

CSCdp89085

Symptoms: The total call count becomes negative on the BXM interface. However, this problem has not been reproducible.

Conditions: If this problem happens, the following card error is displayed:

'vsi_rsrc_pfns.c 483 VrmRetLcnResources 3, 16316'

Workaround: A related bug CSCdr86894 which reported an incorrect number of total call counts, has been found to be the result of an uninitialized variable in vsi_rsrc_conn_pfns.c: VrmRsrcClrRCMP().

The debugging information embedded in this function may be helpful in verifying the negative call count problem if it is reproduced.

Table 55 Anomalies Fixed in MFE Firmware  

Bug ID
Description

CSCdp05098

Symptom: Cell discards occur for ABRFST/ABRSTD conns when the traffic burst is greater than the MBS

Conditions: This occurs when the traffic burst size is fixed to 140000 cells at 70000 cps. The conn are configured with PCR=72000/72000, MBS=1000/1000 and ICR 7200/7200. This is the expected behavior since the configured MBS < the actual burst size.

Workaround: Increase the MBS and ICR using cnfcon.

CSCdr59731

Symptom: Port 11.1 is connected to 11.2 and ILMI are up and running on both ports. Enable neighbor discovery on 11.1, then 11.2.

The 0x71 responses/traps from BXM fw is not predictable. At least two variations are observed:

1. port 11.2 has it's neighbor's info but port 11.1 doesn't.

2. both port 11.1 and 11.2 only know the IP addresses of their neighbors. The Neighbor's IFName are missing.

Problem was observed in MF17, but code changes in more recent builds had already repaired the problem.

Conditions: When ILMI session restarts, remnants of IfName, IpAddr from previous session left. Clr/reset IfName,IpAddr in MIB, on ILMI session restart In FMSStart, pIlmiProcessFsmStart() calls a new function IlmiClrPeerAndSendTopoTrap(pcb_ptr->session_id)

CSCdr79936

Symptom: Stats files not generated/missing on some 15 minutes intervals.

Conditions: When system time is changed at 15 minutes boundaries.

Workaround: Minimize system time and card config changes.

CSCdm16800

Symptom: Card error 0xc000007 appears in the card error log.

Conditions: This error indicates that an unknown type of cell which is not expected has arrived in the egress QE.

Workaround: Engineering has done in-depth investigation into this case. We are convinced the problem does not affect user traffic or the node in any other way. Therefore, the symptom will not be reported as a card error. The fix has been incorporated into MEE firmware.

CSCdp22930

Symptom: N/A

Conditions: cbus rd/wr operations set up in the PUUMBA chip when performing cbus rcv/xmit.

Workaround: None

CSCdp74680

Symptom: Even if the interface is in LOS, the spvc's do not generate ingress AIS into the network.

Conditions: Connection is added after the interface goes into LOS.

Workaround: None

CSCdr44250

Symptom: Private image did not allow as many OAM cells to flow as public image.

Conditions: This occurred by undoing a hardware fix in a private image.

Workaround: This was never introduced into the Public view and no workaround is required.

CSCdr45986

Symptoms: Standby and active block checksum value do not match and resync happens on switchover.

Conditions: When active card has many spvc connections derouted it happens.

Workaround: None.

CSCdr71473

Symptom: Unreachable BXM, sw errors and cd errors on the BPX.

Conditions: LMI is enabled when controller either slow to respond or un-reachable.

Workaround: Disable LMI.

CSCdp97307

Symptoms: When executed "rsh <slot> vsi cm VsiIs " without parameter. The card will crash.

Conditions: Always.

Workaround: Pull out the card and reinsert.

CSCdr86894

Symptoms: Many ports have VC failure because BXM has no resource to build the CVC.

Conditions: Intermittent

Workaround: Reset BXM card.

CSCdr57712

Symptom: Multi_partition fails to report all virtual trunks.

Conditions: In case of virtual trunks with different partition.

Workaround: Reset the BXM card.

CSCdr77238

Symptom: Switch General Info does not contain bulk set capability bit. With newer images of PXM bulk set will not work with BXM images prior to MFD.

Conditions: PXM Images later than 07/06/2000 contains logic to identify the bulk set capability of the slave. BXM images prior to 07/06/2000 will not have this bit set because it is newly introduced parameter in VSI spec.

Workaround: No workaround. Need to upgrade to MFD.


Anomalies Fixed in MFD

Table 56 Anomalies Fixed in MFD Firmware  

Bug ID
Description

CSCdr29278

Symptom: Originally the card used to get frozen not responding to any request from the controller, as the TCB database was corrupted. But it has been protected now. But whenever a null pointer is being inserted into the TCB list a card error is being flagged. It is a harmless card error (not service affecting)

Conditions: The cause is unknown.

Workaround: None.

CSCdp63445

Symptom: ABR and UBR connections loose traffic when VC shaping is turned on.

Conditions: Enabling of VC shaping on port terminating ABR and UBR connections.

Workaround: Leave VC shaping disabled.

CSCdr30454

Symptom: Connections (LCNs) can not satisfied because of insufficient memory

Conditions: When channel stat level is set to 0

Workaround: Use chan stat level (cnfcdparm) 1, 2 or 3

CSCdr14247

Symptom: The correct state of an SPVC is not reflected in connection bulk traps for large number of connections (> 1000). Sometimes Connection states keep toggling between AIS and CLR state when the conns are actually in AIS state

Conditions: AIS cells generated by the RCMP on different connections arrive too close to each other in the same second. This sudden burst of cells overwhelm the Class of service buffers (QBINs) in the Egress direction and get discarded. This causes remote end of the trunk to detect a loss of AIS cells and declare connection a CLR.

Workaround: None

CSCdr40204

Symptom: Service rate for VBR traffic when WFQ is enabled is at SCR (instead of PCR) even when there is no congestion for enhanced cards (1210 QE & Sabre)

Conditions: For enhanced cards, when WFQ is enabled, the local congestion is monitored at the Egress side by the hardware. In order to do this, a few variables that need to be initialized. There were some problems with the initialization routine, causing inaccurate tracking of the congestion level.

Workaround: None. Has been fixed.

CSCdr42885

Symptom: All the ports on a BXM slave go into provisioning state.

Conditions: Controller looses communication with the BXM. This happens when AAL5 driver in the BXM mal-functions and does not free the message buffers of the application processes (ILMI/VSI etc). Eventually BXM runs out of message buffers.

Workaround: Reset the BXM card.

CSCdr49056

Symptom: Invalid Part id in SPVC stats after controller is added.

Condition: This problem happens when SFM receives the vsi message before adding the controller. This is possible to happen when there is a delay between 52 and 61 message. Since 52 add the control vc it will receive the frame and give it SFM task. But SFM won't have any information for that partition and will report the error saying that invalid partition. Since this is possible to happen as per design, the card is removed now.

CSCdr40234

Symptom: Service rate for UBR traffic when WFQ is enabled much lower than PCR even when there is no congestion for enhanced cards (1210 QE & Sabre)

Conditions: For enhanced cards, when WFQ is enabled, the local congestion is monitored at the Egress side by the hardware. In order to do this, a few variables that need to be initialized. There were some problems with the initialization routine, causing inaccurate tracking of the congestion level.

Workaround: None. Has been fixed.

CSCdr49060

Symptom: When doing a cnfcon for ABR connection, service rate drops to MCR rate even when there is no congestion. This is when WFQ is enabled and the inherent VSVD is not used.

Conditions: There are a certain parameters associated with WFQ that are required in order for WFQ to work. However, for ABR connections, when a cnfcon is done, once it is detected that VSVD is not enabled, the structure (Sabre rate RAM) which holds all these parameters is cleared out. This would cause WFQ not to operate properly.

Workaround: No need. Fix is done.

CSCdr43012

Symptom: All the ports on a BXM slave go into provisioning state.

Conditions: Controller looses communication with the BXM as AAL5 driver in BXM gets stuck.

Workaround: Reset the BXM card.

CSCdr52195

Symptom: All the ports on a BXM slave go into provisioning state.

Conditions: Controller looses communication with the BXM as AAL5 driver in BXM gets stuck.

Workaround: Reset the BXM card.

CSCdr36963

Symptom: When PNNI controller goes down then comes up, it couldn't establish its control call to the BXM partition, thus VC failure is displayed in PNNI controller for that partition.

Conditions: This problem only happens under the following conditions:

1. The policy parameters for the partition have been configured as nonzero at some of the class of service,i.e. the reserved minimum bandwidth of some class of service are nonzero.

2. Delete/disable that partition. BXM suppose to release all resources. However, it only released resources at partition level, but leave the reserved resources at cos level unchanged. As result, when this partition is enabled again, the internal CAC calculation at partition level became negative. That caused the first control call setup request fail.

Workaround: Reset the BXM card will clear the VC failure.

CSCdr33867

Symptom: Connect OC3 port on BXM with 7200 router, enable ILMI on router, and ILMI, protocol on card and Neighbor Discover, Object 0x31, Peer's IfName is not null terminated.

Conditions: Some peer.ifName's are null terminated, some aren't a PDU containing valid nonzero length peer.ifName doesn't always include '\0'; and is stored accordingly in the MIB. added a test if peer.ifName is non-zero in length, and isn't null terminated, concatenate the '\0'char and bump peer.ifNameLen++ count Added logic CbIlmiStatsReport, ilmi_proc.c pIlmiFsmGetResponseEventAtS3, pIlmiFsmGetResponseEventAtS9, ilmi_fsm_evt.c to ensure TopoTrap, and ILMIStats report are correctly formatted.

Workaround: None

CSCdp48306

Symptom: On NNI side, when cross connect is established with VPI>1000 (0x3e8) the first nibble is getting chopped off and traffic is flowing on VPI 0xe8 due to bad programming of connection.

Conditions: This happens if on NNI side VPI > 0xff.

Workaround: None.

CSCdr51875

Symptom: Virtual Trunking causing Unreachability

Conditions: At least two virtual trunks share a common port at one node, but their remote endpoints terminate on different nodes.

The virtual trunks are used to carry networking (rt_op) traffic.

The simplest example follows below:

node_A ---- vtrk ----  /---- vtrk ---- node_C

  /

  /

node_B

(vtrks share common port)

With this topology, "node_A" sees "node_C" as unreachable and vice-versa; however, "node_A" communicates to "node_B", and "node_B" communicates to "node_C".

Workaround: Customers who are already using VT wraparound should continue to do so under 9.2.3x until the fix is available.

BXM virtual trunking (no VT wraparound) can still be implemented using software release 9.2.2x.

If virtual trunks are not yet in use, the VT wraparound solution can be implemented in release 9.2.3x.

CSCdr57805

Symptom: Card errors show up indicating "CB_TASK is ready"

Conditions: CB_TASK gets busy processing VSI messages and this causes root task to incorrectly assume that CB_TASK is not in a sane state. Actually a firmware change incorrectly reduced the polling interval by the root task such that it was polling the states of tasks sooner than it is supposed to.

Workaround: None. Ignore these card errors as these are benign.

CSCdr56931

Symptom: After resetsys on PXM or bouncing the feeder/control port or reset of BXM card, some virtual trunks go into vc failure/building vc state.

Conditions: Resetting PXM or pulling out the cable connecting the BXM feeder port to the controller or resetting the BXM cause the interface set policy parameters to be sent to the BXM. This cause ingress BW to be recomputed. CB_TASK passes VI numbers 0 to 31 to the CAC module which expects the range 0 to 15. This caused the problem by overindexing the CAC structures.

Workaround: None

CSCdr59241

Symptom: Building VC status on UNI ports after repeated enabling/disabling of partition with the control port

Conditions: Controller does not send policy parameters for control port upon enabling of partition. When disabling partition, COS max bandwidth was zeroed out. With no policy parameters from which to obtain the new values, COS max bandwidth is stuck at zero; thus not allowing ant control to be established.

Workaround: Older PXM image does send policy parameters even for the partition with the control port. Control port does not require policy parameters to be sent from controller. Default it to the max bandwidth configured for the partition.

CSCdr51970

Symptom: Change CAC policy parameters will cause the available BW for some cos to be negative.

Conditions: Current implementation does not validate the CAC policy parameter change. It will always take the value. However, in some cases, improper policy parameters change will cause the avail_bw at cos level go negative. In this particular scenario, the current used bandwidth of a cos is equal to its reserved minimum bandwidth.Then the user changed the policy parameter to make this cos min_bw to smaller number. Now current_used_bw for this cos is greater than its reserved, and it has to obtained bw from the common pool to maintain its currently used bw. However, the user changed the policy parameter again, to increase the reserved bw for another cos, which caused the common pool to be zero.Therefore, by normal calculation, the previous cos avail_bw becomes to negative. Decreasing cos_min_bw to be less than it is currently used_bw is an invalid operation and should get rejected, otherwise it will mess up the CAC.

Workaround: Delete some connections to release bandwidth before decreasing cos minimum bandwidth.

CSCdr66273

Symptom: The encoding is in the reverse of the expected value by UNI4.0 spec.

Conditions: STD ABR connections.

Workaround: No workaround.

CSCdm52254

Symptom: Random BIP-8 errors show up on T3 when running in direct map (HEC) mode. There is no such thing as a BIP-8 error in the direct map mode. But this counter should report 0 in this mode.

Conditions: This is totally random due to the fact that an uninitialized (don't care) counter variable is accumulated in every poll period. This counter is not even read from hardware in the HEC mode.

Workaround: Ignore BIP-8 errors when the T3 trunks are configured in the HEC mode.

Symptom: APS line switchover occurs upon card removal when lockout is set.

Conditions:

Workaround: None Upgrade to MEF or newer version of firmware.

CSCdp20848

Symptom: SF switchover doesnot occur after dncd/upcd execution on Annex B 1+1 APS.

Conditions: When the dncd command is executed, SWSW sends 0x27 CBUS message. The handler for this message was putting the lines in loopback and shutting down the laser. Also it was changing the line state in SoCdDown() to DOWN state. This caused subsequent upcd (0x05/0x04) message to re-initialize the lines disabling the S/UNI interrupts in the process.

Workaround: None.Upgrade to MEF or newer version of firmware.

CSCdp24224

Symptom: WTR does not occur after LOS recovery on protection line

Conditions: The meaning of primary and secondary channels were changed immediately upon switchover instead of waiting for the expiry of WTR. This caused the clearing of the failure to be accounted against the secondary channel and thus there was no WTR. Fixed by introducing a Preparation switch mode where-in the current active channel will remain as the secondary until a WTR occurs or a primary section mismatch pre-empts that state. At the expiry of WTR, the preparation switch mode is complete and the current active channel becomes the primary.

Workaround: None.Upgrade to MEF or newer version of firmware.

CSCdp25130

Symptom: APS Non-revertive bidirectional feature.

Conditions: Resolved

Workaround: None

CSCdp25220

Conditions: Added a preparation switch mode where the current active channel is the secondary channel. At the expiry of WTR, the secondary channel is changed to the become the primary channel.

Workaround: None.Upgrade to MEF or newer version of firmware.

CSCdp35156

Symptom: BPX APS reverts back to the working line before WTR time has expired

Conditions: TR was being pre-empted by a spurious SD condition. Fixed by setting the right thresholds for SF/SD based on BER.

Workaround: None.Upgrade to MEF or newer version of firmware.

CSCdp38148

Symptom: Resetcd slot 11 on BPX causes local APS switching.

Conditions: Re-impose the selector and bridge states on both ACTIVE and STANDBY cards after Y-red switchover, re-discover the line states and re-execute and external requests.Also include a STABILITY timer before the line state is processed.

Workaround: None.Upgrade to MEF or newer version of firmware.

CSCdp39723

Symptom: Aps not functioning in 9.2.21 w/FW ME18@sprintf for Bidirectional w/Nonrevertive

Conditions: Reversion was happening due to spurious SF/SD events.Fixed by setting the right values for SF/SD thresholds.

Workaround: None.Upgrade to MEF or newer version of firmware

CSCdp46399

CSCdp59729

Symptom: addlnlocrmt causes node unreachable.

Conditions: addlnlocrmtlp causes node unreachable even though there are other parallel trunks.

Workaround: No known workaround.

CSCdp60696

Symptom: Both lines fail when only one line in alarm.

Conditions: After the standby card comes out of reset, its S/UNI states are not reliable for a period of 1.5 seconds and the S/UNI reports LOS clear on the WORK line. This gets conveyed to the active card and then the Manual switch gets priority and becomes the current local request. This causes a switch back to WORK. When the active card's S/UNI monitors the WORK line, it discovers that the line is in LOS and immediately switches back. The oscillations continue and the line goes into LOCKOUT due to excessive switching. In the Lockout mode only the WORK line is active and thus the defect.

Workaround: None.Upgrade to MEF or newer version of firmware.

CSCdp62213

Symptom: Switching from bi-dir to uni-dir mode APS generates APS architecture mismatch error

Conditions: When APS pair is configured from bi-dir mode to uni-dir mode the other side indicates APS architecture mismatch error, and then the other side is also configured from bi-dir mode to uni-dir mode, the APS architecture mismatch error does not clear.

Workaround: Delete APS and then add APS again - it defaults to uni-dir.

CSCdp65320

Symptom: Need a trap when BPX puts APS in lockout

Workaround:

CSCdp00063

Symptom: Node unreachability is experienced on VTs (virtual trunks).

Conditions: Multiple VTs are configured on a trunk interface of the BXM/BXM-E.

Workaround: Configure only one VT per trunk interface.


Logic to Calculate Actual Cell Transmission Rate in a BXM card (CSCdm94372):

if (configured cell rate == full line cell rate) then transmitted cell rate = full line cell rate else transmitted cell rate = from equation below or from table 1

For example:

If a trunk is configured at 100,000 CPS, the actual transmitted cell rate is then 98,013 CPS any traffic sent over 98,013 CPS would be discarded.

Only rates in the table or computed from the equation should be used. Otherwise, cell loss may be experienced.

Anomalies Fixed in MEB

Table 61 lists the anomalies that are fixed in MEB firmware.

Table 61 Anomalies Fixed in MEB Firmware  

Bug ID
Description

CSCdm50469

Symptom: Software error 105 and mallet card errors happened continuously.

Conditions: When jobs that cause reroutes of connections (e.g. switchcc, hitless rebuild) are run for a long time, sometimes BXM card freezes with malloc card errors and software error 105.

Workaround: None

CSCdm50723

Symptom: After deleting APS, switchyred causes temporary LOS when the other end still has APS.

Conditions: One end has APS 1+1, other end was added with APS 1+1 and line is up between the two ends. Then APS is deleted from one end. The primary card is active on non APS end. On switchyred on the non APS end there is a temporary LOS. If APS was never added to one end, then switchyred does not result in temporary LOS.

Workaround: Instead of deleting APS first and then doing a switchyred, do a switchyred first and then delete APS. This does not result in temporary LOS.

CSCdm63038

Symptom: BXM card fails with breakpoint error.

Conditions: When tx cell rate of a trunk is reduced to zero, BXM card fails with break point error (division by zero).

Workaround: None


Anomalies Fixed in MEA

Table 62 lists the anomalies that are fixed in MEA firmware.

Table 62 Anomalies Fixed in MEA Firmware  

Bug ID
Description

CSCdm09882

Symptom: Log non fatal message related to RCMP errors.

Conditions: It is mainly seen in the heat chamber.

Workaround: None

CSCdm18186

Symptom: AIS status could be randomly be displayed in dspcon

Conditions: When the connection AIS signal is constantly changing, the dspcon/dspchstats OAM status will not be accurate for all the connections on the card.

Workaround: None

CSCdm26380

Symptom: Software error 9098 occured during switchyred BXM

Conditions: This problem occurs on cards with the APS channels halved option set and then doing a cnfrsrc on a port that belongs to the second port group. Note that this fix will cause a card mismatch on active cards with channel halved option turned on.

Workaround: None

CSCdm31923

Symptom: AIS/YEL alarm doesn't go away even after the alarm is clear from the other end.

Conditions: It happens on the E3 when the LOOP TIME parameter is set to YES in the trunk or line configuration.

Workaround: None

CSCdm37519

Symptom: Trunks go to Communication Fail after burning firmware.

Conditions: When MC10 is burnt into BXM-OC12 with trunks.

Workaround: None

CSCdm37709

Symptom: APS line fails to clear channel mismatch after lockout.

Conditions: Bi-direction APS 1+1. Local end has locked out of protection set. Then WORK cable is pulled out on local end to cause LOS. Lockout is then cleared and then the WORK cable is put back. This causes a channel mismatch on the far end and the mismatch never clears.

Workaround: None

CSCdm38647

Symptom: This bug has been fixed in MEA such that the firmware reports the correct number of port groups. The side effect of this fix is that the Switch Software could mismatch the BXM card. If there is a card mismatch then down all the lines/trunks on the card and up them again.

Conditions: When the user loads the MEA firmware on the BXM card running MDA with APS halved channeled enabled, then the card will come up in mismatched state.

Workaround: None

CSCdm46658

Symptom: switchapsln command does not work for APS AnnexB line.

Conditions: Annex B configuration if hitless rebuild is done when active line is PROT, then switchapsln does not work after hitless rebuild.

Workaround: None


Anomalies Fixed in MDA

Table 63 lists the anomalies that are fixed in MDA firmware.

Table 63 Anomalies Fixed in MDA Firmware  

Bug ID
Description

CSCdm38647

Symptom: MDA fw may report incorrect number of port-groups when APS channels are set to halved.

Conditions: When user attempts to add all the channels available on the card on one port-group, it may be allowed even though the BXM may not have enough memory to support it. Also, this may cause a mismatch state when MDB firmware is burnt.

Workaround: Down all the line/trunks on the card and up them again.

CSCdm23713

Symptom: VI numbers are not modified by firmware.

Conditions: When one or more trunks are failed in the network, there may be a combreak in the network.

Workaround: Set all the Virtual trunks to restrict CC traffic.

CSCdm23827

Symptom: APS alarm may clear on switchyred.

Conditions: After a switchyred, an existing a LOS/LOF alarm may get cleared. This will only happen when the line has switched to protection before the card switchover is performed.

Workaround: None

CSCdm23752

Symptom: BXM fw does not allow a networking channel on VTs to configured for egress only.

Conditions: BXM fw allowed configuration of networking channel to be bidirectional only.

Workaround: None

Appendix B UXM ABL Firmware Release Notes

ABL is a new firmware release for the UXM card on IGX. Firmware is the same for UXM and UXM-E cards.

New Features

Flash memory drivers are upgraded to support more flash memory vendors so that more flash manufacturers can be used to source components.

Obsolete Features

None.

Compatibility

Software

ABL firmware is compatible with Switch Software 9.1 and 9.2

Hardware

ABL is compatible with UXM and UXM-E model H/W all models.

Previous Versions of UXM Firmware

On IMA trunks this version is not compatible with UXMs Model B firmware versions ABA to ABD.

On IMA trunks Model B firmware (AB*) is not compatible with model A (AA*) because model B is Standards compliant and model A is not. So IMA trunks must be upgraded together.


Anomaly Fixed in this Release

Table 64 lists the anomaly that is fixed in ABL firmware.

Table 64 Anomaly Fixed in ABL Firmware  

Bug ID
Description

CSCds08193

Symptom: Although the trunk operates fine, the dspportstats will show the old delay value even though the actual delay on the line is different. IMA trunk statistics will not show the correct delay value when the delay is toggled rapidly.

Condition: Whenever the delay is changed rapidly on one of the links in an IMA group the dspportstats on that trunk is not updated. The errors seen are related to the SX/12 tester operation. No errors are seen when the SX/13 is used.

Workaround: Change the delay with gaps of approximately a minute between changes.


Upgrade Instructions

Upgrade boot code to boot 07 before upgrading to ABL.

Notes and Cautions

This firmware enables flash components from multiple new vendor to be used. Previous versions of firmware cannot write on to these new devices. For new cards with the flash devices from new vendors, firmware cannot be downgraded to versions prior to ABL. If this is attempted, burnfwrev will fail leaving firmware revision ABL in the flash.

Boot Code Requirements

Boot Code revision boot_07 is needed for the ABL release.

Submitting a Service Request

Using the online TAC Service Request Tool is the fastest way to open S3 and S4 service requests. (S3 and S4 service requests are those in which your network is minimally impaired or for which you require product information.) After you describe your situation, the TAC Service Request Tool automatically provides recommended solutions. If your issue is not resolved using the recommended resources, your service request will be assigned to a Cisco TAC engineer. The TAC Service Request Tool is located at this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/techsupport/servicerequest

For S1 or S2 service requests or if you do not have Internet access, contact the Cisco TAC by telephone. (S1 or S2 service requests are those in which your production network is down or severely degraded.) Cisco TAC engineers are assigned immediately to S1 and S2 service requests to help keep your business operations running smoothly.

To open a service request by telephone, use one of the following numbers:

Asia-Pacific: +61 2 8446 7411 (Australia: 1 800 805 227)
EMEA: +32 2 704 55 55
USA: 1 800 553 2447

Definitions of Service Request Severity

To ensure that all service requests are reported in a standard format, Cisco has established severity definitions.

Severity 1 (S1)—Your network is "down," or there is a critical impact to your business operations. You and Cisco will commit all necessary resources around the clock to resolve the situation.

Severity 2 (S2)—Operation of an existing network is severely degraded, or significant aspects of your business operation are negatively affected by inadequate performance of Cisco products. You and Cisco will commit full-time resources during normal business hours to resolve the situation.

Severity 3 (S3)—Operational performance of your network is impaired, but most business operations remain functional. You and Cisco will commit resources during normal business hours to restore service to satisfactory levels.

Severity 4 (S4)—You require information or assistance with Cisco product capabilities, installation, or configuration. There is little or no effect on your business operations.
