Software Release 9.3.25

This maintenance release includes all features supported up to Release 9.3.20.

Software Release 9.3.24

This maintenance release includes all features supported up to Release 9.3.20.

Software Release 9.3.20

All features are supported up to Release 9.3.10, and the following additional feature is introduced:

1. Universal Router Module (URM) for IGX

This feature introduces a new card for the IGX, the Universal Router Module (URM). It consists of a new front and back card hardware combination that incorporates UXM and router functionality along with the relevant networking capabilities in a single card pair. This feature allows users to provision VoIP and VoATM on IGX switches. The URM card runs standard IOS software, which has been enhanced to support the URM card, and provides the VoIP capability. The URM card also supports VoATM provisioning which is derived from the existing UXM card. The ability to have IOS voice on the IGX is the key capability of this new feature, and the router part of this card can do IP routing by using the two FE ports on the back card.

The following features are not supported in this release of the URM feature:

Software Release 9.3.11

This is a maintenance release including all features supported up to Release 9.3.10.

Software Release 9.3.10

All features are supported up to Release 9.3.10, and the following additional features are introduced:

1. Dynamic Partitioning for BPX

Dynamic partitioning enables the addition of a PNNI partition to existing interfaces (both ports and trunks) without affecting any of the existing AR connections on that interface. Dynamic partitioning also enables the expansion of PNNI VPI/VCI range into the AR partition without impacting existing connections. This feature is required to facilitate the migration from AutoRoute to PNNI.

2. Qbin Statistics

In previous releases of the BPX and IGX, only statistics from Qbins 1-9 were collected on AutoRoute trunks. Starting with Release 9.3.10, the switch allows the collection of additional Qbin statistics. Following is a summary of all Qbin statistics collected by the BPX and IGX. Qbin statistics are Cells Served, Cells Discarded, and Cells Received.

All other Qbins are unused and the switch does not provide statistics for them.

Also starting in Release 9.3.10, the switch provides the collection of Qbin Cells Discarded statistics via SNMP for the above mentioned Qbins.

3. ILMI 4.0 for IGX

This feature allows the ILMI 4.0 protocol to be run on the UXM card instead of on an NPM card. The feature can be enabled on a port or virtual trunk basis, but the UXM card requires that the new firmware is loaded to support the new feature.

4. ILMI/ELMI Neighbor Discovery

This feature enables the Cisco Wan Manager (CWM) to discover any ATM devices attached to the BXM or UXM ports on the BPX or IGX switches, provided that those neighbor ATM devices also support ILMI Neighbor Discovery. If the BXM or UXM card supports the ILMI Neighbor Discovery feature, the user only needs to configure ILMI and Protocol-By-Card on the port, then the relay of the neighbor's topology information to CWM is automatic.

However, in order to authorize the switch to give out its own topology information to the neighboring ATM devices, the user has to use the cnfport command to enable the Neighbor Discovery Enable/Disable parameter. Use the new command dspnebdisc to display neighboring ATM devices' topology information.


Note   Cisco WAN Manager (CWM) 10.3 is required for Switch Software 9.3.10. However, this version of CWM will not be going GA. When CWM 10.4 is released, it will be necessary for users to upgrade to this version of CWM to be able to use all of the features in this switch software release.

If the switch software version on the node is Release 9.2.x, the following steps are required to upgrade the UXM firmware to revision ACC or later:


Step 1   Execute a graceful upgrade to Release 9.3.10.

Step 2   Upgrade the UXM boot code to boot 8.

Step 3   Upgrade the run-time UXM firmware to revision ABJ or greater.

Step 4   After the card comes up, upgrade the run-time firmware to revision ACB.




Warning If these procedures are not followed, there is a big possibility that the card will enter a state from which it can NOT be recovered. Please refer to Appendix B for more information about loading the new firmware.

Software Release 9.3.05

Introduced the following features:

1. Virtual Port

This feature supports a combination of Virtual Port traffic shaping and connection traffic shaping. The Virtual Port feature allows one or more Virtual Ports per Physical Port interface. Connection- level traffic shaping within Virtual Ports is supported. Although Virtual Ports can connect directly to an ATM edge device or a CPE device, they generally are used to connect indirectly through an ATM network, because direct connections to an ATM edge device or CPE equipment can be done with currently available Physical Ports. A maximum of 31 Virtual Ports is available per BXM card on the BPX. Each Virtual Port supports all AutoRoute traffic types that are currently supported by Physical Ports. (This is a chargeable feature on the BPX.)

Software Release 9.3.00

Introduced the following features:

1. Hitless Connection Density Upgrade for BXM

This feature provides a way to hitlessly upgrade an active BXM (legacy or regular enhanced model)—configured for 16K connections or less—to an enhanced BXM (version DX or EX) configured for more connections (16K or 32K). User traffic is not affected during the upgrade. This BXM connection density upgrade feature provides the customer with the ability to hitlessly scale up their networks using the enhanced BXM supporting up to 32K connections with level 1 channel statistics on the trunk side, port side, or a combination of ports and trunks. The new enhanced BXM card must be configured such that its channel statistics level and number of connections are either equal to or higher than the ones configured on the existing BXM (legacy or enhanced) that it is going to replace. This can be done automatically, based on a configurable option. The upgrade can be done for both Y-redundant and non-Y-redundant BXMs.

2. Support for 3 VSI Partitions

This feature enables support of three (3) simultaneous VSI partitions on a BXM line/trunk interface. With this feature, up to three VSI controllers can independently control the BPX switch by using different partitions of the BXM interface resources including VPI range, bandwidth, and number of connections. AutoRoute is not counted toward these three partitions. An application of the feature is the simultaneous support of MPLS controllers. However, the coexistence of MPLS and PNNI controllers on a node running Release 9.2 or later is not supported.

3. VSI MIB Support

Prior to this release, the BPX software neither kept nor knew the specific information about a VSI controller (for example, type, capability, resource usage, and so on). A network management system is needed to query the controller directly via SNMP to learn such information. This feature enables, via SNMP MIB, an NMS to query the BPX switch for VSI controllers attached to that BPX and the associated information. The feature allows for easier discovery of BPX-attached VSI controllers by external SNMP-capable application (such as CWM).

4. 800 Board-Level Revision Number

The manufacturing board-level revision number, also known as the manufacturing 800 number, provides the maximum information possible about a given card. The ability to remotely identify the manufacturing board-level revision number assists in troubleshooting, maintenance, and sparing. Prior to this release, there was no mechanism to remotely identify the board level revision number without physically removing the card from the slot. This project provides the capability to identify the board-level revision number via CLI, Cisco WAN Manager, or CiscoView for IGX and BPX cards. This feature is currently not available for backcards.

5. Priority Bumping

This feature allows connections for both BPX and IGX that are classified as more important (via COS value) to bump existing connections that are of lesser importance. Priority Bumping is useful when there are insufficient resources (for example, bandwidth) to route these important connections due to trunk failures in the network. (This is a chargeable feature on the BPX).

6. SCR (Sustained Cell Rate) and PCR (Peak Cell Rate) Policing at Less Than 50 CPS on BXM and UXM

With this feature, the minimum SCR and PCR policing values supported by the BXM and UXM are lowered depending on card types:

Card Name  Card Types  Min SCR and PCR Policing Values 

IGX-UXM

T1/E1

6 cells per second

IGX-UXM

T1/E1 IMA

6 cells per second

IGX-UXM

T3/E3

12 cells per second

IGX-UXM

OC3/STM-1

50 cells per second

BPX-BXM

T3/E3

12 cells per second

BPX-BXM

OC3/STM-1

50 cells per second

BPX-BXM

OC12/STM-4

50 cells per second

The policing prompt will be introduced for ABRSTD connections with VSVD=OFF. Previously, policing was always enabled for ABRSTD connections with VSVD=OFF. This change delivers the following advantages for ABRSTD connections with VSVD=OFF.

7. Separate Abort Stack

The software error table on the IGX and BPX currently contains up to 12 entries. When the table is full, additional errors overwrite the last entry. Errors that are not fatal are processed equally with aborts. This means that if an abort is logged into the last entry of the table, an error can then be logged, overwriting the more important abort information. Similarly, if more than one abort is logged when the table is full, only the last one logged remains in the table. This feature allows the preservation of abort stack information which, in turn, allows for faster debugging and fix implementation.

8. Upgrades Protection

This enhancement provides additional protection against running loadrev/runrev and doing upgrades during the time that statistics collection is enabled. This enhancement warns and automatically disables statistics collection if the user says "Yes" to the warning prompt.

9. 2000 VC Bandwidth Parameters

This enhancement increases the maximum number of VC bandwidth parameters from 700 to 2000 on an IGX. This enables service providers to increase service offerings where additional VC bandwidth parameters are required.

10. UXM and UXM-E ATM Forum IMA-Compliant Ports

This feature enables the UXM and UXM-E to support ATM Forum IMA Standard version 1.0 compliant IMA ports in addition to IMA trunks. Support for IMA ports allows the IGX to directly interoperate with other Cisco devices that support IMA ports, and provide a more cost-effective alternative to using an AUSM/B in an SES feeder to IGX to support the same functionality. This IMA functionality complies with the ATM Forum IMA Standard version 1.0.

11. Control Traffic Shaping

This enhancement allows users traffic-exclusive use of available trunk bandwidth. Previously CC Traffic used available trunk bandwidth in excess of statistic reserve at the highest priority, bumping user traffic also trying to claim available bandwidth. This feature also requires the appropriate firmware versions for the cards.

Clarifications for Release 9.3.24

None.

Clarifications for Release 9.3.20

1. Changes in IGX Parameters

dsplns (no options) displays the detailed screen, and queries the user if summary lines need to be displayed

dsplns d displays the detailed screen, and user is not queried for summary display

dsplns s displays only the summary screen, for example:

Line Summary

Active Lines 7
Active Router Ports 1
Available Lines 56
Total Lines 64

dsplns <invalid input> user is prompted for a valid input

This command does not query the user for the VC shaping parameter.

This command queries the user for the VC shaping parameter.

VC Shaping Required?  [N] :

For URM ports, the port type is always UNI, and the protocol can be either ILMI or NONE. If ILMI is configured, only Protocol-run-on-the-card is supported.

These changes also apply to the SNMP interface.


Note    XLMI and ENNI options are displayed for cnfport and dspport. However, users should note that this is an unsupported feature in 9.3.20.

Note    For the Migration 1B feature, these commands have been added but are not part of this release.

2. Changes in BPX Parameters

This command now displays the type and revision for BXM-E cards.

Clarifications for Release 9.3.11

None.

Clarifications for Release 9.3.10

1. Only the cell discard Qbin statistics for the allowed Qbins are provided via SNMP.

2. Starting with Release 9.3.10 on the BPX, the cnfvsipart command is only applicable to BXM trunks. To enable VSI ILMI on the port, use the cnfport command to enable ILMI and protocol by card. Doing so effectively enables VSI ILMI on the port interface.

3. Changes in BPX Parameters:

Reset ILMI when VSI controller is added? [Y]:

Neighbor Discovery? [N]:

Meaning of the Neighbor Discovery parameter:

Y—The BPX sends its interface information to the neighbor if queried by the neighbor.

N—The BPX does not send its information to the neighbor.

The BPX always queries for its neighbor's interface information using the ILMI Neighbor Discovery procedure and reports to CWM if the information is available, whether the Neighbor Discovery parameter is set to Y or N.

55 LCN reprgrm batch cnt [  100] (D)
56 Dnld LanIP or NwIP [  Lan] (Lan/Nw)

End of PVC VPI range 1 [-1]
Start of PVC VPI range 2 [-1]
End of PVC VPI range 2 [-1]
Start of PVC VPI range 3 [-1]
End of PVC VPI range 3 [-1]
Start of PVC VPI range 4 [-1]
End of PVC VPI range 4 [-1]

User needs to use cnfport command to enable/disable ILMI/VSI ILMI on ports.

This new command is used to display neighboring ATM devices' topology information. This command is added to support the BPX ILMI Neighbor Discovery feature.

4. Changes in IGX parameters:

Neighbor Discovery ? [N]:

Meaning of the Neighbor Discovery enable/disable parameter:

Y—The IGX sends its interface information to the neighbor if queried by the neighbor.

N—The IGX does not send its information to the neighbor.

The IGX always queries for its neighbor's interface information using the ILMI Neighbor Discovery procedure and reports to CWM if the information is available, whether the Neighbor Discovery parameter is set to Y or N.

Protocol run on the card [Y]:

When the protocol is set to ILMI, the meaning of the parameter:

Y—The ILMI protocol is executed by the UXM card.

N—The protocol is executed by the NPM.

Neighbor Discovery  Enable

Protocol run on the card (Y):

Meaning of the parameter:

53 Dnld LanIP or NwIP  [ Lan](Lan/Nw)

This new command is used to display neighboring ATM devices' topology information. This command is added to support the IGX ILMI Neighbor Discovery feature.

5. The IMA-added trunk transmit rate can be configured without deleting it. But it is done locally and is not propagated to the other end.

Clarifications for Release 9.3.05

1. Starting with Release 9.3.05 on the BPX, the user needs to execute the following sequence of commands to create an ATM service port or virtual port: upln, addport, cnfport, upport. Previously, only upln and upport were required.

2. Starting with Release 9.3.05 on the BPX, the VC-Shaping parameter is no longer available with the cnfln command. Use the cnfportq command to enable/disable VC Shaping.

3. Starting with Release 9.3.05 on the BPX, the user can configure the port bandwidth. Previously this parameter was defaulted to the line speed.

4. Starting with Release 9.3.05 on the BPX, the user can configure the VC Queue Depth parameter for the CBR and VBR connection. Previously, this parameter was configurable only with ABR-type connections.

5. The restriction of not being able to configure additional VSI partitions if one partition already uses VPI=0 has been removed. VPI is allowed to be 0 for a VSI partition on feeder trunks, in addition to ports. However, since both the PNNI and MPLS controllers uses certain default control channels, users should be extremely cautious with the controller's channels. Side effects of the collisions are unpredictable for BPXs.

6. The addloclp/dellp command cannot be used for port loopbacks on virtual ports. Use addportloclp/delportlp instead.

7. Changes in BPX Parameters:

5.1.1  0 / 0 3096 (cps) LM-BXM INACTIVE  NONE  UNI

Port: 5.1.1 [INACTIVE] 
Bandwidth/AR BW:  3096/3096
VPI Range: 1 - 1 
CAC Reserve: 0

6   Disabled Priority Bumping
7 Disabled Virtual Ports

8. The dsplog command has been enhanced in Release 9.3.05. User-visible changes include:

A counter at the top of the event log indicates both the user's place and the total entries in the event log.

Integrated mode. Integrates a single-line summary of software error and abort log entries into the display (by time-stamp) and are displayed in reverse video. For example:

Info  Log Cleared                       12/15/99 09:38:20
Info  Error   527 Data:00000081 PC:302C6D8E/USR1  9.3.n6 12/15/99 09:38:13
Info  Abort   1015 Data:DEADBEEF PC:302BE03E/TN_1 9.3.n5 12/10/99 14:38:45

This can be combined with all of the above options EXCEPT "p". Thus, dsplog i r t, but not dsplog p i t.

Clarifications for Release 9.3.00

1. For the 800-level part number, there is a dependency on manufacturing to release boards with NOVRAM containing an 800-level part number. There are scenarios in which the 800-level part number cannot be seen. See the following chart for the different combinations:

SWSW release  NOVRAM contents  SWSW CLI (dspcd/dspnovram and so on) display 

>= 9.3.00

New NOVRAM

Top Assembly Number, which is the 800-level part number (10 bytes).

< 9.3.00

New NOVRAM

Fab number which shows part of the 800-level number. The display shows as per the SWSW release prior to 9.3.0, except that the data displayed is partial 800-level part number.

< 9.3.00

Old NOVRAM

Fab Number. The display shows as per the SWSW release prior to 9.3.0

>= 9.3.0

Old NOVRAM

Top Assembly Number showing 10 bytes, of which 8 bytes may convey 28, or 73-level, or raw fab number. The last two bytes are blank spaces and the user sees 8 bytes only. Hence, there is no change in information compared to SWSW < 9.3.00.

Notes:

2. The dsplog command has been enhanced in Release 9.3.00. User-visible changes include:

Reverses the log, showing oldest entries first. This option allows you to see the bottom of the list quickly.

Allows paging through the log, much like dspcons. For a single page log, this option acts just like dsplog and terminates immediately. But for multiple page logs, it allows you to move backward and forward through the log by pages (using "n" and "p") until "q" or DEL is pressed.

Time-stamp mode. Begins log display with the entry nearest to the specified time. The time parameters must immediately follow the "t" option.

3. The Robust APS Alarm message that the BPX sends to CWM is being modified to contain a new field. CWM converts these Robust APS Alarm messages into SNMP trap 20100. When APS Alarm Clear messages are sent from the BPX to CWM, the resulting 20100 trap contains a new field indicating the alarm condition that is being cleared.

4. Changes in BPX Parameters:

28 CM updates app timeout  [  5] (10 secs)

Region memory init  4   Disabled

52 CommBrk  Hop Weight [ 25](D)

Clarifications for Release 9.2

1. There is a change in reporting of the port group number starting in Release 9.2.30. The previous image (MEC) of BXM firmware used to report one port group for the two-port group cards at the channel statistics level 2 and 3. This made the port belonging to the second port group unusable.

When upgrading from MEA-MEC, you must upgrade the software to 9.2.30 (or later) first and then burn the BXM card with the MED (or later) firmware. The BXM reports two port groups for two port cards all the time. The smooth transition between the earlier one-port group and the newly reported two- port groups also displays message in dspcd "Inconsistency with logical PG #" (port group number). All earlier software mismatches the card.

If the BXM card is programmed with an MEC or earlier firmware revision, the Channel Statistics level 2 or 3 reports one-port group. Burning a MED or later image results in two-port groups, but for backward compatibility the software does not recompute the LCNs based on the new port groups. In its logical database, this does not impact the AutoRoute connections.

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


Note    The newly configured card, or the card in standby mode programmed with an MED image brought to the active state, does not have the above discrepancy.

2. 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.

3. On the BXM and UXM, for the OC-3 Multimode Fiber back cards, Y-Redundancy/hot standby is not supported due to reduced optical power.

4. Release 9.2.31 introduces 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 is as follows:

Timer  Description  Range (sec.)  Default (sec.) 

T396

LMI polling timer

5-30

10

T393

SPC STATUS ENQUIRY timer

5-30

N394

Max. retry count for SPC STATUS ENQUIRY/ REPORT procedures

1-10

5

N395

Max. retry count for SPC UPDATESTATUS / ACK procedures

1 -10

5

5. 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 separating the control and data plane. The new parameter allows a new feature to be turned off that 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.

6. The minimum software required to run MPLS are:

or,

Special Installation/Upgrade Requirements


Note   There are no generally available CWM revision that can support or manage the URM card with Release 9.3.20, or support the features in Release 9.3.10.

General Upgrade Procedure


Note   Please consult your Support Representative before performing any software upgrade.

The earliest release supported for a graceful upgrade is 9.2.23.

Before you upgrade the switch software, make sure the cards have the minimum firmware revision per the compatibility matrix.

Procedure for Upgrading BXM cards to the 9.3 Firmware Release

See Appendix A for instructions on upgrading the BXM firmware.

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

Procedure for Upgrading UXM cards to the 9.3 Firmware Release


Note   For the VSI/MPLS feature, upgrade the UXM firmware to revision ACC or later. Note that the upgrade procedure has changed.

If the switch software version on the node is Release 9.2.x, the following steps are required to upgrade the UXM firmware to revision ACC or later:


Step 1   Execute a graceful upgrade to Release 9.3.24.

Step 2   Upgrade the UXM boot code to boot 8.

Step 3   Upgrade the run-time UXM firmware to revision ABJ or greater.

Step 4   After the card comes up, upgrade the run-time firmware to revision ACC or later.




Warning If these procedures are not followed, there is a big possibility that the card will enter a state from which it can NOT be recovered. Please refer to Appendix B for more information about loading the new firmware.

If a Switch Software Release 9.3.x has already been loaded onto the node, the following steps are required to upgrade the UXM firmware to revision ACC:


Step 1   Execute a graceful upgrade to Release 9.3.24.

Step 2   Upgrade the run-time UXM firmware to revision ACC.



Procedure for Adding New BCC Cards as a Part of Upgrading to Release 9.3

If new BCC cards are to be installed as part of the upgrade to Release 9.3, then the physical card upgrade procedure described below must be completed as a separate activity from the Switch software upgrade.

Revision Interoperability Supported

The Revision Interoperability feature allows a mixed/ heterogeneous network of 9.2.x and 9.3.x (where "x" equals any GA version of 9.2 and 9.3) nodes to coexist and interoperate. This capability allows customers to upgrade their networks from 9.2 to 9.3 in multiple steps. It is not recommended that users operate in this state for extended periods of time.

Normal network maintenance and operations such as provisioning, trunk reroutes, card insertions and removals, and normal network alarming, are supported in the mixed revision network. Normal alarms can be received while upgrading a node to Release 9.3.

In a mixed-revision network, functions that are implemented in 9.3 but not in 9.2 are disabled. For example, features that are supported in both Releases 9.2 and 9.3 will function at their 9.2 level. New features developed in 9.3 are automatically enabled when all nodes are upgraded to the 9.3 revision level. Specifically, connection provisioning, connection rerouting, alarming and CWM support for these features are supported but will function at their 9.2 capabilities, and not at their 9.3 levels until all nodes are upgraded. The command dspblkdfuncs will display blocked (disabled) features.


Note   The URM card cannot be activated in a network with mixed switch software releases.

Version Compatibility Notes

For a complete list of firmware revisions supported, see the Compatibility Matrix document, which is included in this release package.

This release runs with:


Note    MGX 8220 Release 4.1 cannot be used to have an IMA trunk to a UXM Model B card because MGX 8220 Release 4.1 uses a non-standard IMA standard while UXM Model B firmware uses a ATM Forum IMA compliant standard.


Note    Cisco WAN Manager (CWM) 10.3 is required for Switch Software 9.3.10 or later. However, this version of CWM will not be going GA. When CWM 10.4 is released, it will be necessary for users to upgrade to this version of CWM to be able to use all of the features in this switch software release.

Control Card Requirements

All BPX processor cards must be configured with a minimum of 64 MB of RAM, and NPMs must be configured with a minimum of 32 MB of RAM. NPMs require at least 1 MB of BRAM. To verify the BRAM size on IGX 8400 nodes, use the dspcd command.

Control Card Boot Firmware Requirements

As specified below, the correct version of CC boot firmware must be installed on the cards prior to a software upgrade to Release 9.3.

BCC Type  Firmware 

BCC-3-64

H.D.M

BCC-4V

H.H.M

BCC-4V/B

H.H.M

NPM Type  Firmware 

NPM-32

R.B.S

NPM-64

R.C.S

NPM-32B

R.E.S

NPM-64B

R.F.S

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) becomes standby.



Control Card Compatibility Requirements

Each redundant pair of BCC cards in a given BPX 8600 node must be of identical type and memory configuration. That is, for example, if the active card is a BCC-3-64, then so must be the standby. BCC-3 cards with 64 MB of RAM cannot be mixed with BCC-4 cards.

Each redundant pair of NPM cards in a given IGX 8400 node must be of 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 32 MB of RAM cannot be mixed with NPM cards with 64 MB of RAM. Also, NPM-64 cards cannot be mixed with NPM-64B cards.

This is a requirement for all software upgrade procedures. It does not apply to the physical card upgrade procedure, as described below.

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. (Removal of back card only applies to BCC.)

Step 2   Replace with new CC front and back cards that are identical to the current active CC. (Replacement of back card only applies 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 backcard. (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 applies 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 CC and the new type CC. 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

BPX BCC-32 cards are no longer supported in Release 9.3.

The following IGX cards are no longer supported in Release 9.3:

UVM model A, B, and C firmware are not supported in SWSW Release 9.3 and beyond.

Adaptive Voice feature is not supported in IGX SWSW Release 9.3

Notes and Cautions

This section contains additional information about previous releases.

Additional Notes for Release 9.3.24

None.

Additional Notes for Release 9.3.20

The URM lines are included in the maximum number of lines on the nodes.

Additional Notes for Release 9.3.11

None.

Additional Notes for Release 9.3.10

1. VSI/MPLS controllers should be added on a line and not on trunks. The following steps should be followed:


Step 1   Up the line by using the upln command.

Step 2   Up the ports by using the upport command.

Step 3   Configure the partition resources by using the cnfrsrc command.

Step 4   Add an MPLS controller by using the addctrlr command.



2. Typical ILMI configuration on the router side should have the following type of information:

interface ATM2/0

IP address 10.9.8.4 255.255.255.0

no IP directed-broadcast

ATM PVC 41 0 16 ILMI

ATM PVC 46 0 5 qsaal

ATM ILMI-keepalive 20

no ATM address-registration

ATM ILMI-PVC-discovery

3. The VPI/VCI for ILMI control PVC should match on UXM port and the neighbor router/IGX/BPX for ILMI protocol to work correctly.

4. Certain parameters for the router configuration would require shutdown and up the router interface using router command "shut/no shut" on the interface to take effect on the modified configuration.

Additional Notes for Release 9.3.05

1. An incompatibility exists between the ASI and BXM implementations of the HCF no-shift mode. As a result, the diagnostic command tstdelay fails for a connection terminating on an ASI and a BXM when the associated ports are configured for the HCF no-shift. Note that the following connection types are not affected by this incompatibility (and thus tstdelay works as expected):

In general, customers should, whenever possible, avoid mixing ASI and BXM ports when the use of HCF no-shift mode is required.

2. When Priority Bumping is turned on, connections are added with a cos value of 15 instead of 0. When Priority Bumping is turned off, all connections except voice connections add with a default value of 0. Voice connections add with a default value of 2. If a different value for cos (other than 15) is desired, use the cnfcos command to change the value.

3. VPI 0 is now supported on a VSI partition even when there are multiple VSI partitions on the interface. This functionality reverses the restriction in the 9.2 release.

4. On the enhanced BXM card (BXM-E), the firmware translates the configured transmit cell rate (cells per second) into a minimum inter-cell gap. The mathematics of this conversion involves non-integer computations, which introduces rounding/truncation effects. As a result, the actual output bandwidth is somewhat larger than the configured bandwidth. This behavior is manifested in certain situations when the bandwidth of a port, virtual port, trunk, or virtual trunk is configured for less than the line rate, and the port/trunk is heavily loaded. The Cisco WAN Switching Command Reference, Release 9.3.05, Appendix A, BXM-E Configured and Actual Bandwidths, contains a table showing the actual output bandwidth versus the configured bandwidth.

Additional Notes for Release 9.3.00

1. Once Priority Bumping feature is enabled, the reroute timer in cnfcmparm (9 Reroute Timer) is recommended to be set to a value of 3 seconds or greater.

The need to do so is to make the bumped connections (connections that are derouted when priority bumping is exercised) wait for this period before they are eligible to route again.

2. The "Adaptive Voice" feature, also known as the "Adaptive VAD" feature, is not supported by the IGX Switch Software. However, Voice Activity Detection, or VAD, is still supported.

Additional Notes for Release 9.2

1. Because of a hardware limitation, the non-enhanced versions of the BXM hardware are not able to recognize all user-programmed cell transmission rates. Rather, only discrete transmission rates can be used.

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 chart that follows.

The rate chart lists the highest 200 cell rates supported by BXM such that if used results 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 the following chart

Example:

If a trunk is configured at 100,000 cps, the actual transmitted cell rate is then 98,013 cells per second (cps), and 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 following chart should be used. Otherwise, cell loss may be experienced. The chart is not be exhausted at the end, but still go on with the computing from the above equation.

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

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

4. For an IMA trunk, the configuration is blocked if the converted cps of the number of links to be decremented is MORE than the transmit rate (CSCdm71616).

5. Card errors (0x25170076) occur on BXM when only one virtual trunk (VT) is configured in a physical port. To avoid this situation, configure at least two virtual trunks on any physical port that you have VTs on. When performing the configuration, make sure to configure the VTs one directly after the other (CSCdm69974).

Limitations for Release 9.3.24

None.

Limitations for Release 9.3.20

1. No generally available CWM revision can support or manage the URM cards with Release 9.3.20.

2. Y-redundancy is not supported for the URM cards.

3. The UPM card cannot be activated in a network with mixed switch software releases.

4. On URM ports, VPI 0 and VCI 1023 is reserved.

5. The following features are not supported in this release of the URM feature:

Limitations for Release 9.3.11

When an IGX feeder node has a trunk connected to an IGX routing node, the UXM card can go into a mismatch state when the Switch Software is upgraded to 9.3.x and the voice and data connections are terminated on the UXM feeder trunk. The workaround for this limitation is either (1) burn UXM firmware ABK or later, or burn firmware ACB or later onto the card or (2) reset the UXM card. (CSCds85758)

Limitations for Release 9.3.10

1. If ILMI is enabled to run on a UXM card, than no address registration or service registration is supported for ILMI 4.0.

2. When ILMI is running on the cards on a virtual trunk port, all the virtual trunks on the same port share the same ILMI session.

3. The LMI protocol must not run on the BXM cards connected to an Axis shelf. It should run on the BCC cards.

4. Executing a dncd command on a BNI-155 does not turn off the laser on the physical port. As a result, the other trunk end connected to this card still detects a physical layer signal and regards this as a trunk "communication failure" rather than as a LOS (loss of signal). Hence, all connections fail and are not derouted/rerouted by the connection management (AutoRoute or Priority Bumping in 9.3x).

5. ILMI Neighbor Discovery is only supported on BXM/UXM physical ports.

6. An NPM-64B card is required for the VSI feature.

7. Release 9.3.10 does not support the VSI feature in a mixed revision network. All nodes in the network must run Release 9.3.10 or later in order to use the VSI feature.

8. ILMI can be enabled on a UXM card, but it cannot be enabled on the same card as VSI.

9. When an MPLS controller is added to a port, it sets up a signalling channel to the port to which it is attached. The VPI and VCI for this connection are user-configurable. Default values of 0 and 32 are used if the user does not configure different values. So extreme card should be taken before adding an Auto Route connection with VPI = 0. An Auto Route connection should never be added with a VPI and VCI that is being used by the MPLS controller. If an addcon command fails with swerr 9082 (with firmware error code 0x01EF), this means that an attempt was made to add an Auto Route connection where an MPLS signalling VC was already existing. If this error is seen, the Auto Route connection that caused it should be deleted immediately. The way to avoid to getting to this situation is to configure the signalling VC on the router such that it is within the VSI partition. In other words, instead of having the signalling VC as 0/32, configure the signalling VC on X/32 where X is the starting VPI of the VSI partition configuration for the control port interface.

10. The BPX only supports ILMI address registration with a PNNI controller. In the case where the BXM port does not have a VSI partition controlled by a PNNI controller, it is necessary to disable address registration on the attached router. This is to prevent the router from sending unnecessary ILMI cold start trap to the BPX.
Below is an example of how to disable address registration on a Cisco 7200 series router:
interface atm 1/0"
no atm address registration
Refer to the IOS command reference and Configuring ATM on ATM port adapter for further details.

11. Release 9.3.10 supports only MPLS controllers for the IGX. The PNNI controller is not supported in Release 9.3.10 for the IGX.

12. Release 9.3.10 supports only up to 3 controllers (1 controller per partition).

13. Release 9.3.10 does not support controller redundancy for the IGX.

14. Release 9.3.10 does not support compact CBA on slave side, that is the command compactrsrc VSI is not supported for the IGX.

15. Release 9.3.10 does not support Auto UBU allocation for the UXM only. UBUs must be allocated manually for the IGX.

16. For the IGX, when a VSI partition is deleted/disabled, all connections are deleted.

17. If CBR connections are configured with PCR less than or equal to 50cps, CBR cells may be dropped at a BXM trunk interface. Do not add a CBR connection with the PCR less than or equal to 50 cps. Using CBR connections with the PCR greater than or equal to 51 cps does not cause any cell drops.

Limitations for Release 9.3.05

None.

Limitations for Release 9.3.00

1. Level Version Number is supported for front cards only.

2. Standards-compliant IMA ports (MGX 8220, Release 5.x) on UXM/UXM-E are not compatible with the proprietary protocol used in the IMATM (MGX 8220, Release 4.x).

3. Standards-compliant IMA trunks are not compatible with the proprietary IMA protocol used in Model A UXM firmware. Model B and later firmware releases are IMA standard-compliant. Both ends of an IMA trunk must have the same protocol.

4. Switch software 9.3.00 and BXM firmware MFB support the attachment of multiple VSI controllers to the BPX. In case of MPLS, however, only one LSC should be attached to a VSI partition, which is the same for the IGX. If multiple LSCs are attached to a VSI partition, the results are unpredictable, which is the same for the IGX.

5. On BXM OC-3, OC-12 8DX, and 2DX enhanced cards, do not configure the queue depth(s) for CBR / rt-VBR / nrt-VBR / UBR/ABR to be greater than 262143 using the cnfportq command. All configuration changes made while or after configuring queue depth(s) greater than 262143 are lost after a rebuild, when the switch is running 9.3.00. All ports, whose queue depth(s) are configured to be greater than 262143 in 92 are lost after upgrading from 9.2 to 9.3.00.

6. When doing a grouped upgrade from Release 9.2 to 9.3, 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.

7. When upgrading from Release 9.2 to 9.3, the 9.2 statistics on BXM/UXM cards are supported to maintain compatibility. However, once users configure a statistics level in 9.3, they cannot configure back to 9.2 statistics.

Prior to replacing a bad BXM/UXM, make sure that the level of channel statistics is the same as the original card.

Limitations for Release 9.2

1. The coexistence of MPLS and PNNI controllers on a node running Release 9.2 or later is not supported.

2. When 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 the partition is deleted, the SPVC connections are left in a undefined and unrecoverable state. Hence, before deleting a VSI partition, ensure that all the SPVC connections are deleted on that partition.

3. 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).

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

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

6. UVM cards in Y-redundancy 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.

7. 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.

8. 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, is delayed as provided by the parameter.

9. 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 connection 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, are all throttled back at the VSVD points at the network edge. During network congestion, connections carrying UBR services are virtually stopped (to a through-put of mere 6 cps) while connections carrying ABR services can send at a much higher, user desired MCR. This option would avoid the situation where UBR service gains an unfair advantage over ABR service while sharing the same CoS queue.

10. Reconfiguring the trunk parameter may cause the connection to be rerouted if the changed bandwidth load is smaller than what was used by the connections that use the trunk.

11. The BXM and UXM channel stat-level feature gives these cards the capability of collecting more than 4 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 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 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 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 stats on 1,500 connections, 48 stats on 1,000 connections or 9 stats on 5,000 connections, and so on The approximation formula being:

max_stats_per_connection = 48,000/number_of_connections

12. The transmit rate on an IGX IMA trunk can be altered at the local node without 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.

Limitations for Release 9.1

1. The maximum number of VC PARMs supported:

In other words, one less than the stated maximum value.

VC PARMs are Virtual Circuit Parameters combinations/sets. One set of VC Parameters is used for each unique Virtual Circuit that has been provisioned. Identically provisioned VCs (exclusive of endpoints) use the same set of parameters.

Limitations for Release 8

1. 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 supports up to a total of 16 feeder trunks and each feeder trunk has 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:

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

3. 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.

4. SVC Voice Connections are derouted after decreasing the allocated bandwidth (increasing Statistic Reserve). It is the design intent that increasing the statistical reserve causes SVC conns to be derouted and not be rerouted.(See bug CSCst92308).

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

6. Due to a hardware limitation, the BNI trunk sends 13 to 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.

7. 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 is a loss of continuity.

8. The external ABR segment control loop on ForeSight (ABRFST) is an option at the User Interface. It is supported by UXM-E/BXM-E (enhanced versions), 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.

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

10. 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 to 3999 connections

Polling Rate: 5 Minutes (or higher)

4000 to 7999 connections

Polling Rate: 10 Minutes (or higher)

> 8000 connections

Polling Rate: 15 Minutes

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

12. 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 cannot 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.

13. There are problems in the fallback mechanism that can cause database corruption. If fallback 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 restart instead of a switchcc. If the locked CC is reset, then fallback immediately, a restart occurs instead of a switchcc (CSCdj30811).

14. 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 is not be correctly simulated by doing a dncd (down card) on the active card. Using dncd causes cell discards. (CSCdj08923).

15. UBR traffic gains an advantage over ABR traffic when UBR and ABR PVC's are combined on the same network. This is because UBR and ABR PVC's share the same Qbin (Class of Service Queue) on the BXM card. ABR PVC's use a flow control mechanism, VSVD, which ensures that traffic sources slow down when the Qbin usage exceeds the EFCI threshold. However, UBR PVC's do not have this throttling mechanism. Therefore, ABR is throttled back, whereas UBR is 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 PVC's are required then:

Option 1—Consider adding all best-effort PVC's as UBR or

Option 2—Isolate the ABR and UBR paths by using cnfpref command to ensure that ABR and UBR PVC's 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 why to do so).



16. 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 only is relevant where FBTC and non-FBTC connections share a Qbin, either at a port or at a trunk.

Required Workarounds for Release 9.1

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

Required Workarounds for Release 8

1. 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 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.

2. 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. 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.

3. 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>

4. 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).

5. 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

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

The command dspbpnv can be issued to verify if the node had the new backplane or the old backplane. The following table details the bit fields for the BCC Backplane NOVRAM format, the display of word 2 describes the backplane type.

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

IGX 8400 Firmware Compatibility


Note   For the VSI/MPLS feature, the UXM firmware needs to be upgraded to revision ACC or later. The upgrade procedure has changed.

If the switch software version on the node is Release 9.2.x, the following steps are required to upgrade the UXM firmware to revision ACC or later:


Step 1   Execute a graceful upgrade to Release 9.3.24.

Step 2   Upgrade the UXM boot code to boot 8.

Step 3   Upgrade the run-time UXM firmware to revision ABJ or greater.

Step 4   After the card comes up, upgrade the run-time firmware to revision ACC or later.




Warning If these procedures are not followed, there is a big possibility that the card will enter a state from which it can NOT be recovered. Please refer to Appendix B for more information about loading the new firmware.

If a Switch Software Release 9.3.x has been loaded onto the node, the following steps are required to upgrade the UXM firmware to revision ACC:


Step 1   Execute a graceful upgrade to Release 9.3.24.

Step 2   Upgrade the run-time UXM firmware to revision ACC or later.

Known Anomalies in Release 9.3.25

The following table lists the known anomalies in SWSW Release 9.3.25.

Bug ID   Description 

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 in 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 async event.

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

CSCdp48861

Symptom: The customer may notice slow UI response, or a difficulty logging into the node using the normal VT session. The dspprfhist 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. This will stop the collection of voice connection statistics (for all connections, not just voice), as well as the operation of the debug command spchstats. If statistics must be collected, 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, but the following statistics are reported at 3 second intervals:

  • Seconds V.25 Modem On
  • Seconds DSI Enabled
  • Seconds Off-Hook
  • Seconds In Service

CSCds47671

Symptom: dspcurclk displays incorrect trunk numbers in the clock path

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

Workaround: None. Further Details: The display attempts to display the port on the via trunk before it is properly set.

CSCdw04847

Symptom: The default value and the range allowed for queue size is wrong.

Conditions: This can be seen while using cnftrkparm to configure the queue sizes.

Workaround: A valid range is approximately half of that allowed in cnftrkparm. Configure the queue sizes to be within the valid range.

CSCdw30811

Symptom: Port and alarm messages for FTM ports are not formatted correctly, consequently the CWM cannot track or manage these entities. Because this message is misformated, the CWM does not know where it starts or ends, and consequently other messages from the switch can be discarded. This could then result in incomplete database tables so the CWM cannot collect statistics, manage the ports or establish new connections. This could also result in discarded alarm messages on the CWM so it may not set or clear alarm messages appropriately.

Conditions: This problem will only occur when FTM/FTC cards are on the IGX.

Workaround: Remove all configuration related to the FTM/FTC cards and remove them from the switch all together. FTM/FTC cards are not supported in 93 software, the last version of software that supported these cards was 92. After removing FTM/FTC configuration and hardware, resync the CWM workstation by doing one of the following:

1. Do a controller card switch over on the IGX switch.

- this requires a redundant NPM switch

- this will break the link to the CWM, and when the CWM reattaches it will resync with this one node.

2. or, do a hitless rebuild on the IGX switch.

- this will break the link to the CWM, and when the CWM reattaches it will resync with this one node.

3. or, do a full rebuild on the IGX switch. Note: This will cause an outage on the node and is customer impacting.

- this will break the link to the CWM, and when the CWM reattaches it will resync with this one node.

4. or, on the CWM, stop and then restart the CWM core

- Note this causes the CWM to resync with all nodes in the network.

CSCdw44810

Symptom: Event log indicates "loadrev (new-revision) initiated from node (remote node)" when the remote node really did a runrev

Conditions: This will occur whenever a node invokes a runrev for another node by doing: 1. runrev (newrev) *, or 2. runrev (newrev) (remote node)

Workaround: None.

CSCdw47805

Symptom: The NTM subrate trunk transmission timestamp queue depth is different at the two ends.

Conditions: 1. With one side of the trunk is up only (the other end down), upgrade from pre-9331 images the node to post-9331 images on both side. Up the other side of the trunk.

Workaround: 1. down the upped trunk after upgrade 2. or use cnftrkparm to change the transmission timestamp queue to be the same size as the other end after upgrade.

CSCdw68880

Symptom: The interval statistics listed below always return a value of zero:

59 Good Pdu's Received by the Sar

60 Good Pdu's Transmitted by the Sar

61 Rx pdu's discarded by the Sar

62 Tx pdu's discarded by the Sar

63 Ivld crc32 pdu

64 Invalid Length pdu rx by the sar

65 Shrt-Lgth Fail detected by the sar

66 Lng-Lgth Fail detected by the sar

Conditions: Always occurs.

Workaround: None

CSCdw86892

Symptom: When a switchyred fails the event log may occasionally log an event of: switchyred error: BXM <prislot>/<secslot> ? where instead of displaying the error code, or the textual reason, it instead shows ?

Conditions: This occurs rarely, when the switchyred command encounters an error that the event log does not know how to map to text. The customer is given an appropriate message at the user interface, but it is not presented in the event log.

Workaround: None

CSCdx33468

Symptom: dspcons shows all connections but dspcon shows "connection does not exit"

Conditions: The network has the following software configuration:

SWSW is 9.3.10 and BXM FW is MFR

Workaround: None.

CSCdx34855

Symptom: Upon login, or invocation of the dsptech command, the display for the VC field is bold and has an asterisk next to it, indicating there is a VC inconsistency -- even when there really is not an inconsistency.

Conditions: This has only been observed when: 1. There are a large number of connections on the node, in our case 14,000 or more, and 2. the user logs in and see the dsptech login screen or they manual invoke the dsptech CLI command, while 3. connections are still being added

Workaround: Wait until connection additions have stopped, and then invoke the dsptech command.

CSCdx34887

Symptom: - Connections failed to route but the dspcon command displays their status as "OK" and the "Path:" as 'looking for a route'. - The dspalms command does not show the correct number of failed connections.

Conditions: - The open space calculation incorrectly checks the path as OK to route the connection, but the path is actually NOT OK due to lack of resources such as load and conid.

Workaround: - The dsprrgrps command can be used to get the accurate number of connections requesting reroute (failed connections).

CSCdx34916

Symptom: - Connections are not routed but dspcon command displays the status as "OK" and "Path" as "looking for a route". - The dnib and dspload commands show inconsistent Conid usage.

Conditions: - Vpc resource on a trunk is almost used up and only one VPC conid is left. - The connection fails on this trunk because the lack of VPC conid.

Workaround: - Make VPC conid resource available to route the failed connection by either adding new trunks or free up some VPC conid resource on the trunk with the problem.

CSCdx92352

Symptom: TFTP interval statistics peak values are smaller or larger than expected.

Conditions: This problem occurs when a user attempts to change the peak interval for statistics that already have peaks enabled, while leaving the file and bucket interval unchanged. For example, if they started with a TFTP interval stat with a 5 minute bucket, a 60 minute file and a peak interval of say 60 seconds. And they then left all of the other values the same, but changed the peak interval to say 120 seconds, then the operation would "succeed", the high level displays would say that the peak interval is 120 seconds, but the individual statistics would still be doing 60 second peaks.

Workaround: When changing the peak interval, first delete all of the stats then change the peak interval and send the new enable request.

CSCdy50994

Symptom: Software errors 30 and 923 are logged after issuing the command [cnftrkict] on an NTM card that does not have a trunk up on it (i.e. the NTM card is in the Standby state).

Conditions: This problem only happens when the command is executed on a NTM slot that does not have its trunk upped yet.

Workaround: None.

This is basically caused by incorrectly running the command. There is no reason to invoke [cnftrkict] on an NTM slot that is not currently upped as a trunk.

CSCdy81617

Symptom: Node in Degraded mode, all other nodes in network unreachable. swerr 47 in swlog, and POLL BUS failure on active BCC bus.

Conditions: No special conditions known.

Workaround: Switchcc, clears degraded mode. Bus remains failed even with diagbus, requires replacement

CSCdy89690

Symptom: BPX does not log feeder alarm change events when the LMI protocol runs on the BXM.

Conditions: The problem only happen when BXM runs the LMI protocol.

Workaround: None.

CSCdy89732

Symptom: 1. NPM switch over to standby NPM. 2. Event log shows restart reason is a Watchdog Timeout. 3. Abort profile on the standby NPM (dspprf a s t) shows a date and time matching the date and time of the Watchdog Timeout event. 4. The standby error log (abort log in 9.3) is empty.

Conditions: IGX with an abort on the active NPM switches over to the standby NPM.

Workaround: Use the "dmstby" to collect the software log from BRAM on the standby NPM. The software log is from address 0x1010 to 0x19C0.

CSCdz00821

Symptom: delshelf is allowed to proceed when there are active VSI partitions and VSI connections on the feeder trunk.

Conditions: The problem only happens when there are only VSI but no auto route connections on the feeder trunks.

Workaround: None.

Special Installation/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 & 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 & 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

The following table lists the known anomalies for the BXM 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

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.

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).

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

Condition: Trunk VC Shaping feature on BXM card is configured between two nodes. UBR connections are routed between the nodes.

Workaround: None

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.

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

Bugs Fixed in MFR

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.

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.

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.

CSCdt38471

Symptoms: The available BXM TCB buffer went down to zero and the card got stuck.

Conditions: This happened in the 100k SPVC devtest setup. The problem can be reproduced by performing switchyred on two BXM redundancy cards.

Workaround: The reasons to cause TCB buffer leakage were found. Furthermore, the holes in the firmware code have been sealed. The fix will be included in the firmware releases MFM or later.

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.

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.

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.

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:

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Bugs Fixed in MEB

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

Bugs Fixed in MEA

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

Bugs Fixed in MDA

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 Model C ACE Firmware Release Notes

Introduction

ACE is a maintenance firmware release for UXM cards on IGX. The firmware is the same for UXM and UXM-E cards.

New Features

There are no new features in the UXM firmware ACE.

Obsolete Features

None.

Compatibility

1. Software

ACE firmware is compatible with Switch Software Release 9.3.10 or later.

2. Hardware

ACE firmware is compatible with UXM and UXM-E model hardware.

Bugs Resolved in ACE

UXM firmware ACE is a maintenance release. The open bugs known at this stage are listed in the Known Anomalies section of this appendix. The firmware release ACE also contains the bug fixes done in the Model B firmware up to revision ABL.

Upgrade Instructions

If the firmware being upgraded is not revision ACB or higher, then the firmware upgrade to revision ACE requires an intermediate upgrade to revision ABJ. However, before upgrading the firmware to revision ABJ, the boot code has to be upgraded to boot revision 8.

If the firmware revision ACB has not been burned, follow these steps to upgrade the firmware to revision ACE:


Step 1   Execute a graceful upgrade to Release 9.3.10 or later.

Step 2   Upgrade the UXM boot code to boot revision 8.

Step 3   Upgrade the Administration application firmware to revision ABJ or greater.

Step 4   After the card comes up, upgrade the Administration application firmware to revision ACE.




Warning If these procedures are not followed, the card might enter a state from which it can NOT be recovered. Pay attention to this section before loading the new firmware.

If the firmware revision ACB has been burned onto the card, follow these steps to upgrade the firmware to revision ACE:


Step 1   Execute a graceful upgrade to Release 9.3.10 or later.

Step 2   Upgrade the run-time UXM firmware to revision ACE.



Known Anomalies

Bug ID   Description 

CSCdt17297

Symptoms: swerr 103 logged.

Conditions: Back card was improperly seated.

Workaround: Remove the front card, reseat and tighten screws on back card, reinsert the front card.

Bugs Fixed in ACE

Bug ID   Description 

CSCdt29649

Symptoms: tstdelay fails or not accurate.

Conditions: Will fail on PVC's traversing UXM lines/trunks. User may sometimes see tstdelay passing on some PVC's in which case the RTC may not be correct.

Workaround: None, not service affecting. NOTE: Foresight RTDs are not affected by this problem.

CSCds58417

Symptoms: Initial TCB pool size decrements on active card in a YRED pair after reset of active card while other card in YRED pair is in standby.

Conditions: TCB pool size on the active card in a YRED pair is decremented after each hardware reset of the card.

Workaround: Avoid hardware reset of active card in YRED pair.

CSCdr65252

CSCds80842

Symptoms: YRED switchover generates swerr 9098 C01C and C505.

Conditions: A YRED switchover occurs after multiple add/del of VSI connection followed by modifications to the VSI resource configuration with cnfrsrc.

Workaround: Will not affect existing connections. May reduce the number of CBAs available to VSI on card. Down the redundant card and reset the active card.

CSCds69784

Symptoms: swerr 9000 C10A logged when delyred executed.

Conditions: Executing delyred on IMA-T1

Workaround: None.

CSCdt13974

Symptoms: swerr 9000 continuously logged by the standby card of a YRED pair in which one card is a UXM and the other a UXM-E.

Conditions: Triggered for the first time by a switch from primary to secondary after which the error is continuously logged without any more triggers.

Workaround: Delete YRED (delyred).

CSCdt04968

Symptoms: The 0x50 message repeatedly times out when a hitless rebuild, hardware reset, or switchcc occurs on the node and until a 0xAF message (sync) is sent out to the UXM card.

Conditions: Execution of either `resetcd h', `resetcd r', or switchcc on a UXM card.

Workaround: The UXM takes 20 seconds or more to regain synch with the NPM.

CSCdu25184

Symptoms: Backcard(s) missing after a hitless rebuild on NPM.

Conditions: Issuing `resetcd 1 r' (hitless rebuild of NPM).

Workaround: Either reset or `dncd/upcd' the affected card.

CSCdt66310

Symptoms: ILMI messaging declares Comm. Failure instead of VT Path Failure if the VPC in the cloud port fails.

Conditions: Cloud port is UXM and VT trunk port is BXM; ILMI is configured to run on the UXM card; VPC in the cloud port fails.

Workaround: Run ILMI on the UXM port from the NPM.

CSCds77189

Symptoms: swerr C202 0x2F is logged.

Conditions: During full rebuild of the node some of the keep alive messages from YRED pair is dropped.

Workaround: None.

CSCdt22276

Symptoms: UXM goes into failed state.

Conditions: When VSI trunk goes down due to a full rebuild on IGX node, UXM tries to delete all VSI connections over the VSI trunk. While deleting the connections, the UXM encounters a data bus exception and declares a fatal condition.

Workaround: None (difficult to produce).

CSCdr71426

Symptoms: If selftest frequency is set to 1 second (using cnftstparm) and upln is done on a standby UXM card, the card goes into failed state and resets itself.

Conditions: The card should be in standby and the line upped is not connected to any device on the other end.

Workaround: Do not set the selftest frequency to 1 second.

CSCds08193

Symptoms: A delay is toggled several times on one of the lines on an IMA trunk and eventually the trunk discards all traffic on the trunk. No physical line alarms are shown and the traffic does not re-route. Trunk discards can be seen with dsptrkerrs.

Conditions: Delay is toggled (introduced and then set back to zero) on one of 4 lines between 0 and 100ms using an ADTECH SX/12 line simulator. The other 3 lines are left at 0ms delay. Once the delay has toggled between 5 to 10 times, the whole trunk discards all traffic.

Workaround: None. Execute resetcd or dncd/upcd for the trunk to resume functioning.

CSCdt23593

Symptoms: dspchstats on the connection end where VC shaping is turned ON shows Egress VSVD rate set to 6 cps.

Conditions: Whenever there is a ABR connection between two UXM port cards with Model C f/w and VC shaping is turned ON on the port the port will start transmitting data out at a rate of 6cps instead of the connection rate.

Workaround: Do cnfcon and change the PCR of the connection by say lcps just to invoke reconfiguration of the connection. This clears the problem.

CSCdt58429

Symptoms: After a dncd/upcd, VSI does not come up.

Conditions: dncd/upcd is performed and the VSI control channels are not programmed on the card.

Workaround: Not service affecting, however if the VSI does not come up, reset the card and the card comes up fine.

CSCdp05824

Symptoms: When ABRFST VPC input to UXM port is broken, no OAM AIS cells are transmitted at far end for this connection.

Conditions: All instances.

Workaround: None.

CSCdr98036

Symptoms: When CRC is disabled on E1 lines by using cnfln we see the line go into OOF alarm. The line will remain in the failed state until CRC is enabled again on the line.

Conditions: The swsw release should be >= 9.3.30 in order to be able to configure enabling/disabling of CRC on E1 lines. Prior to 9.3.30, the CRC is always enabled and this problem will not be seen.

Workaround: Keep CRC enabled on the E1 lines.

CSCdp34788

Symptoms: When the Far end equipment generates HP_UNEQ signal or the supervisory unequipped signal, the UXM OC3 port connected to it does not recognize it and so there is a problem.

Conditions: The far end has to be connected to the OC3 port and it needs to send either the HP_UNEQ or the Supervisory unequipped signals.

Workaround: None.

CSCds11244

Symptoms: After a switchcc, if the active and standby NPMs connection databases are not consistent, SW errors can happen on UXM cards at any time after the switchcc. On 9.1 Switch Software, SW error 21 may be seen. On 9.2 Switch software, SW error 9081 may be seen.

Conditions: After a switchcc, switch software on the current NPM does a check on the UXM card to make sure that the connection database on the NPM matches that on the UXM card. All connections on the UXM card but on the NPM database will be deleted. Connections on the NPM but not on the UXM will be added. This feature is required for cleaning up any dangling connections due to database inconsistencies before the switchcc between the active and standby NPM cards. So every time a switchcc occurs, the current NPM has to make sure its database is reflected on the UXM.

Workaround: None.

CSCds32782

Symptoms: swerror 9081 is logged when DS0 map is changed on a UXM-E1 line or trunk.

Conditions: DS0 map is changed using cnfln/cnftrk. The error does not occur always.

Workaround: None, swerror 9081 logged under this conditions can be safely removed.

CSCds43564

Symptoms: UXM-UFMU atfxfst connection. Once the UFMU side had a communication failure and also recovered from the failure, then UXM side would start to have non-compliant cells although traffic was far below the PCR.

Conditions: UFMU side had a communication failure and failure recovered.

Workaround:

1. dncon/upcon

2. reroute con somewhere, then reroute back

3. change any parameters of the con, such as SCR/PCR, then change it back

All above actions will stop increasing non-compliant cells and stop discarding.

CSCdt17534

Symptoms: After seeing several "IMA protocol OK " messages in the log intermittently the IMA protocol between the each ends of the UXM IMA trunk appears to become out of sync. Traffic in one direction sees about 75% data loss, traffic in the other direction is OK.

Conditions: Occurs in IMA trunks where the T1's have taken hits. So far every occurrence of the problem was seen with T1's that cross 1/0 DACS (not clear T1).

Workaround:

1. Physically removing one T1 from either end and reinserting it after a few seconds will allow the IMA protocol to resync.

2. Resetting the UXM card on the side that sees the discards (resetcd <slot> h).

Boot Code Requirements

Boot Code revision boot_08 is needed for the ACE release.

Unsupported Configurations or Applications.

1. MPLS Controllers other than 7200 series routers.

2. Port Adapter PA-A3 on the 7200 series router not supported for "multi-vc" configuration.

3. The OC3 MMF backcard is not supported for Y-redundancy configuration.

4. Adding more than one controller to a VSI partition is not supported.

5. Adding controllers on trunks is not supported. The controllers have to be attached to line interfaces.

6. Usage of IMA interfaces is not supported for attaching the LSCs (Label Switched Controllers) or LERs (Label Edged Routers). This restriction is because of the non availability of IMA interface support in IOS software release 12.1.(3)T for LSC and LER interfaces. The IMA interfaces can be used for trunks between IGX nodes.

7. ILMI implementation does not support service registration and address registration.

Notes and Cautions

1. Switch Software Release 9.3.10 or later is compatible with the following versions of IOS and 7200 port adapter hardware:

IOS 12.1(3)T and later

PA-A1 (non enhanced) flavors of T3, E3, and OC3 ATM adapters

[PA-A3 adapters are not supported for multi-VC mode as of 9/2000.]

2. Changing the VPI range on a UXM interface partition is not causing the Xtagatm interface configuration on the controller to be updated.

This is a recently discovered issue in 12.1(3)T.

When the slave ATM switch reports a VPI range change through an "IFC GET CNFG TRAP" the LSC does the following:

a) If the VPI range is reduced, the XTAG interface is toggled down and back up to force LDP/TDP to be reset. This is because LDP currently negotiates label ranges (VPI,VCI ranges) only when the session is established. The info displayed through a "show tag int detailed" command should be correct in this case.

NOTE: The above does not apply to the BPX where the VPI or VCI range cannot be SHRUNK using the cnfrsrc command unless the interface is in the disabled state.

b) If the VPI range is increased, the information is updated in the VSI master but the information is NOT propagated to the XTAG. This is done so that the LSC will ignore the increased range instead of resetting the LDP session which forces VCs to be torn down. The VPI range from the "show tag int detailed" command can be interpreted as the LOCAL range that LDP/TDP used when setting up the session that is active. Changes at the ATM switch level are not reflected in the LSC unless the change explicitly causes the LDP session to be re-established.

3. Only one Xtag interface corresponding to a partition on a UXM interface that has multiple-partitions comes up. Other Xtag interface based on different partitions on the same UXM interface is not coming up.

Turn on "debug VSI errors."

If you see errors that say something of the kind "VPI/VCI in use" or "VCI in use"; the problem is overloading of the 0/32 tag-control PVC.

Example 1: Node tagigx4

    a. dspctrlrs for tagigx4, shows two controllers, one each for partition 1 and partition 2.

    c. Xtagatm interface configuration for partitions 1 and 2 on Trunk 7.1

Make sure that only xtag atm interface uses the default tag-control-vc of 0/32. All other xtag atm interfaces on the same UXM interface should use non-defaulttag-control-vcs using the "tag-switching atm control-vc" command.

xtagatm71 configuration on the LSC connected to 3.3, using default tag-control-vc of 0/32

Current configuration: 
 ! 
 interface XTagATM71 
  ip unnumbered Loopback0 
   no ip mroute-cache 
   extended-port ATM2/0 vsi 0x00070100

   no ip directed-broadcast 
   no ip route-cache cef 
   extended-port ATM5/0 vsi 0x00070100 
   tag-switching atm control-vc 90 32

5. An MPLS LSC on a T3 port cannot see the IGX.

When configuring a Cisco MPLS LSC on T3 interfaces, make sure the payload scrambling option on the UXM T3 line matches the config on the LSC. The default for the LSC is OFF, and the default for the UXM is ON. This can cause a lot of wasted time, since the lines will come UP and CLEAR.

For example, T3 UXM configuration:

dsplncnf 12.6

         tagigx3        VT    Cisco           IGX 8430  9.3.1Z    Aug. 3 2000  10:14 PDT

Technical Assistance Center

The Cisco TAC is available to all customers who need technical assistance with a Cisco product, technology, or solution. Two types of support are available through the Cisco TAC: the Cisco TAC Web Site and the Cisco TAC Escalation Center.

Inquiries to Cisco TAC are categorized according to the urgency of the issue:

Which Cisco TAC resource you choose is based on the priority of the problem and the conditions of service contracts, when applicable.

Cisco TAC Web Site

The Cisco TAC Web Site allows you to resolve P3 and P4 issues yourself, saving both cost and time. The site provides around-the-clock access to online tools, knowledge bases, and software. To access the Cisco TAC Web Site, go to the following URL:

http://www.cisco.com/tac

All customers, partners, and resellers who have a valid Cisco services contract have complete access to the technical support resources on the Cisco TAC Web Site. The Cisco TAC Web Site requires a Cisco.com login ID and password. If you have a valid service contract but do not have a login ID or password, go to the following URL to register:

http://www.cisco.com/register/

If you cannot resolve your technical issues by using the Cisco TAC Web Site, and you are a Cisco.com registered user, you can open a case online by using the TAC Case Open tool at the following URL:

http://www.cisco.com/tac/caseopen

If you have Internet access, it is recommended that you open P3 and P4 cases through the Cisco TAC Web Site.

Cisco TAC Escalation Center

The Cisco TAC Escalation Center addresses issues that are classified as priority level 1 or priority level 2; these classifications are assigned when severe network degradation significantly impacts business operations. When you contact the TAC Escalation Center with a P1 or P2 problem, a Cisco TAC engineer will automatically open a case.
