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.

Note The following features are not supported in this release of the URM feature:
· VoFR (only ATM interface supported on the URM)
· VSI support
· MPLS LSC/LER support
· VoATM support using SVCs
· Y-redundancy is not supported for URM cards

Note There is not a generally available CWM revision that can support or manage the URM cards with Release 9.3.20.

Note Some changes have been made for the Migration 1B feature, but are not part of this release.

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.

UXM and BXM Qbins 1-9 on AutoRoute trunks.
BXM Qbins 0-3, 9 on AutoRoute ports.
UXM Qbins 2,3, 7-9 on AutoRoute ports.
UXM and BXM Qbins 10-15 on VSI ports and trunks.

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:

For BXM and UXM models with interface speeds lower than, or equal to, T3/E3, the minimum SCR and PCR values are lowered (see the following chart) for the connections terminating on the card with policing enabled.

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 CLI and CWM blocks attempts to set up a connection on a BXM or UXM with policing on and with the SCR and/or PCR value below the new minimum SCR and/or PCR policing value of the card.

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.

Policing prompt is now consistent in all connection types.
The minimum PCR is lowered to 6 cps when policing is disabled.

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 9.3.20

1. Changes in IGX Parameters

New options for dsplns and dspclns

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

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:

New parameter in cnfport when Protocol is set to I (ILMI):

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

New port parameter in cnfport for BXM physical port:

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.

New parameters in cnfnodeparm:

55 LCN reprgrm batch cnt [  100] (D)

56 Dnld LanIP or NwIP [  Lan] (Lan/Nw)

New parameters in cnfrsrc:

Configure PVC VPI ranges? [N]

Start of PVC VPI range 1 [-1]

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]

The cnfvsipart is modified to only support trunks.

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

New command dspnebdisc:

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:

New port parameter in cnfport for UXM physical port:

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.

New port parameter in cnfport and dspport for UXM port:

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.

New port parameter in cnfport and dspport for UFM port:

Neighbor Discovery 		Enable

New virtual trunk parameter in cnftrk and dsptrk:

Protocol run on the card (Y):

Meaning of the parameter:

If the parameter is enabled, the UXM virtual trunk runs the ILMI protocol; NPM does not run the protocol.
If the parameter is disabled, NPM runs the protocol; UXM does not run the protocol.

New parameters on cnfnodeparm:

53 Dnld LanIP or NwIP	 [ Lan](Lan/Nw)

New command dspnebdisc:

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:

New port numbering in addport for virtual ports:

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

New parameters in cnfport and upport for virtual ports:

Port: 5.1.1 [INACTIVE] 

Bandwidth/AR BW:  3096/3096

VPI Range: 1 - 1 

CAC Reserve: 0

New parameter in cnfswfunc:

6   Disabled Priority Bumping

7							Disabled Virtual Ports

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

dsplog

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

dsplog i (Service level and above)

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:

New NOVRAM means that manufacturing has entered the 800-level part number into NOVRAM.
Old NOVRAM means that manufacturing uses old numbering scheme (non-800-level numbering).
In the case of new NOVRAM and old SWSW, the last two digits of the 800 numbers would not show up on the screen. The last two digits are the ones that point to the specific board version level. For example: 800-33415-01 would be the first version and 800-33415-02 would be the second version of the same board.

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

dsplog r

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

dsplog p

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.

dsplog t <yyyy mm dd hh mm ss>

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

Combinations of options: All the above options can be combined (in any order) and behaves in the appropriate fashion. Thus

dsplog p r (allows bidirectional paging through reversed log)
dsplog t <yyyy mm dd hh mm ss> p (allows bidirectional paging through log, starting with time yyyy mm dd hh mm ss

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:

New parameter in cnfcmparm:

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

New parameter in on3:

Region memory init  4   Disabled

New parameters on cnfnodeparm:

52 CommBrk 	Hop Weight	[ 25](D)

53 CG Fail Penalty Hops	[ 2](D)

54 Auto BXM Upgrade	[ Y](Y/N)

5. Changes in IGX parameters:

New parameter in cnfcmparm:

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

New parameters on cnfnodeparm:

52 CommBrk 	Hop Weight	[ 25](D)

53 CG Fail Penalty Hops	[ 2](D)

Parameter removed from on1:

SVC Del Bgnd Updates

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	10
T394	SPC UPDATE STATUS timer	5-30	10
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:

BPX Switch Software Release 9.2.30 or later
BXM Firmware MEF
IOS Release 12.07 T or later (refer to IOS Release Note)
Virtual Switch Interface (VSI) 2.2

or,

BPX Switch Software Release 9.1.08 or later within the 9.1 release,
BXM Firmware MCB
IOS software release 11.1(19)CT or later within the 11.1.x CT release (refer to IOS Release Note)
VSI 1.0

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 9.3.20.

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.

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 9.3.20.

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.

If upgrading to BCC-4 cards on BPX 8600 nodes, the software upgrade should be done first, followed by the BCC-4 physical card upgrade. If BCC-4 is already installed, then upgrade as normal.
If any other type of BCC cards are being physically upgraded, then the physical upgrade of the cards should be completed first, followed by the 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

This release runs with:

Any MGX 8220 Release 4.1 and 5.0
Cisco WAN Manager (Cisco StrataView Plus) version 10.4

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.

CiscoView version 3.4.1
UXM firmware

For MPLS/VSI feature, UXM model ACB or later
If not using MPLS/VSI feature, UXM model ABH or later

BXM model MFD or later
UFM firmware for ELMI-based topology discovery feature

For UFM-C model B, version ZBD, and UFM-U model B, version YBC
For UFM-C model A, version ZAT, and UFM-U model version YAL

URM Model XAA
MGX 8850 version 1.1.30
SES version 1.0(130)A1
IOS version 12.1(5)YA

Note VNS interworking is supported in Release 9.3.20.

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.

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

FTM
BTM
ALM/A
ALM/B

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

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):

ASI-BXM connections terminating on ports in HCF shift mode
ASI-ASI and BXM-BXM connections, regardless of HCF shift mode

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 9.3.20

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:

VoFR (only ATM interface supported on the URM)
VSI support
MPLS LSC/LER support
VoATM support using SVCs

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. For a virtual trunk on a BXM/UXM, the Transmit Trunk Rate (the transmit rate of the virtual trunk) is configurable to match the PCR value of the subscribed public VPC service. In this release, the actual shaping rate for a virtual trunk is higher than the configured Transmit Trunk Rate (CSCdm80482). The actual virtual trunk shaping rates are 1/(n x 680 x 10-9) cps, where n is an integer from 1 to 29,411. In this release, the user-configured Transmit Trunk Rate is rounded to the next higher (as opposed to lower) actual shaping rate.

To configure a virtual trunk so that the actual shaping rate is no greater than the PCR value of the subscribed public VPC service, the following steps can be taken:

Step 1 Determine the n such that 1/(n x 680 x 10-9) cps (the actual shaping rate) is no greater than the PCR value of the subscribed public PVC service. For example, if the PCR value of the subscribed public PVC service is 10 Mbps or 23,585 cps, then n is 63 and the actual shaping rate is 23,342.67 cps.

Step 2 Configure the Transmit Trunk Rate for the virtual trunk to be less than 1/(n x 680 x 10-9) cps but greater than 1/((n+1) x 680 x 10-9) cps. For example, if the PCR value of the subscribed public VPC service is 10 Mbps or 23,585 cps, configure the Transmit Trunk Rate for the virtual trunk to be less than 1/(63 x 680 x 10-9) = 23,342.67 cps but greater than 1/(64 x 680 x 10-9) = 22,977.94 cps.

4. 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).

5. 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.)

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

On IGX nodes, there is a four second continuity break. (Same as in a switchcc.)
There might be brief communication breaks with other nodes in the network. This is logged in the node's event log. There is no traffic loss or trunk failures. (This is similar to a switchcc and depends highly on the network and number of connections.)
If a hitless rebuild occurs during a node rebuild, the hitless event may not always be logged in the event log.
If a hitless rebuild occurs before getting the hitless threshold from BRAM, the software assumes that "Max Htls Rebuild Count" in cnfnodeparm is set to 100, and that "Enable Degraded Mode" also in cnfnodeparm is set to False. In other words, the node performs a full rebuild if 100 hitless rebuilds occurs.
Some line/trunk cards that are in the standby state may reset during a Hitless Rebuild.
The statistics that are collected by Cisco Wan Manager are not maintained across a rebuild.
Some statistics are reenabled automatically. These include:

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

7. 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.

8. 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.

9. 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.

10. 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.

11. 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.

12. 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

13. 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:

2,999 for BCC 3-64 (CSCdj48589)
1999 for NPM-64B
254 for NPM-32 or NPM-64

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:

There is no limitation on the number of ports that can have LMI/ILMI enabled.
When running ILMI on the BXM, ILMI version 3.1 WITHOUT address registration is supported.

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. When deleting the last trunk from a node, there is a known limitation with the switch software. The deltrk command should always be executed on the node that remains as part of the network, rather than from the node that ends up being removed from the network. This is to ensure that all the necessary updates are sent to the rest of the network (CSCdi85134). Also, If the command is not used as recommended here, a software error 419 could occur (CSCdi91285).

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

10. 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.

11. On a heavily loaded BPX 8600 node, during connection rerouting, the status of a particular connection is indicated as OK even though the line status of the other end of the connection is listed as failed. The connection is in fact OK, because the conditioning of the connection (to update the status for both ends) is done by a low-priority process so that the rerouting of the connections can be given high priority. The status is eventually updated (CSCdj10762).

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

13. 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

14. 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.

15. 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.

16. 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).

17. 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).

18. 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).

19. 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.

2. Currently, T3-3 and T3-2 back cards are not interchangeable between ASI and BNI front cards, as has been the case since the introduction of these cards. The back cards must be configured using cnfbkcd (with setnovram) so as to avoid back card mismatch (CSCdj41999).

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.

16 Bit Word	Byte # (hex)	Contents
0	0,1	Hardware revision
1	2,3	Backplane Type (usually 0x65=101 decimal)
2	4,5	Backplane version (0x0000:old 0x0001:new)
3	6,7	Backplane serial number in ASCII - MSB
4	8,9	Backplane serial number in ASCII - MSB
5	A,B	Backplane serial number in LSB
6	C,D	Board FAB number, in ASCII - MSB
7	E,F	Board FAB number, in ASCII - LSB
8	10,11	Board FAB number, in ASCII - LSB

B	16,17	Board FAB number, in LSB
C	18,19	Unused
D	1A,1B	Unused
E	1C,1D	Unused
F	1E,1F	Checksum bytes - NOT SUPPORTED

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

It cannot be 0.
It must be a multiple of the polling interval.
It must be a factor of the bucket interval.
It can be the same as the bucket interval.

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 9.3.20.

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.

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 9.3.20.

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

Known Anomalies

The following is the list of known anomalies in this Switch Software delivery. Included with each is a brief discussion of the problem. A more in-depth discussion is available in the release note enclosure of the problem record in Bug Navigator.

Bug ID

Description

CSCdp45833

Symptom:

Users of VNS may experience poor voice quality. a dspchst command on the connections shows data in one direction.

When the xlat_verify command is run software error 332 is logged with FFF1 in the data field. This is usually on the slave and via nodes of the leftover SVC. The master node shows it as deleted. A dspcon command n the slave and a dspviacons on the vias show the leftover connection.

Conditions:

CSCdm86633 in Release 9.1.16 fixed most occurrences but not all of the dangling SVC connections. Occasionally poor voice conditions occur.

Workaround:

Manual updates could be sent through the updates 3 * command to clean-up dangling SVC lcons.

CSCdr25253

Symptom:

The AIS-Path alarm is not seen on a SONET line when an Path AIS is sent to it.

Conditions:

While using test equipment during compliance testing, an AIS-Path alarm is generated. The expected result is to see AIS-P reported on StrataView/CWM, see the AIS-P statistic incremented, and see the line in Major AIS-P alarm

Workaround:

None.

CSCdt30054

Symptom:

When running Switch Software Release 9.3.11 on IGX nodes, it is not possible to add SIW connections between a UFM-C and a UXM card (atft atfx). "No channels left on this line" repeatedly appears.

Workaround:

Use a software revision other than 9.3.11

Problems Fixed in Release 9.3.20

Following is the list of fixed problems in the 9.3.2 Switch Software release. Included with each is a brief discussion of the problem.

Bug ID	Description
CSCdr55450	Symptom: Yellow alarms triggers a flood of swlog 992 errors. This ends the ILMI tas and caused all AXISs connected to BPX to become unreachable. Workaround: Switchcc will clear the communication failure by reinitializing the data structures needed for communication between the feeder shelf and the BPX. An alternative workaround is to reset the SAR process on the BPX. This must be done by TAC personnel (Refer to the Switch Software Troubleshooting Guide). This will also reinitialize the data structures.
CSCdr82206	Symptom: The Active NPM in slot 2 cannot communicate with any UXM cards on the IGX shelf that have an active NTM trunk card. Hence, some or all of the UXM cards in the IGX chassis are in "Unavail" state (dspcds). Conditions: This does NOT occur if the active NPM is in slot 1 or if the IGX does not have any active NTM trunk cards. This problem may occur after one of the following events: a node rebuild on NPM in slot 2 (resetcd 2 h), a switchcc to switch to the NPM in slot 2, a cnfbusbw to increase the UBUs that are allocated to the UXM cards while the active NPM is in slot 2, or by activating a new UXM card Workaround: There are three possible worksarounds: 1. Issue switchcc to make NPM in slot 1 the active NPM. Limitation: NPM in slot 2 becomes an unreliable standby NPM if the IGX still has at least one active NTM. 2. Deactivate all active NTM trunks on the IGX. Limitation: Cannot use the NTM (T1/E1) trunks in the IGX. 3. Avoid putting an active NTM in slot 3. Putting an UXM (active or standby) in slot 3 would reduce the chances that the problem would occur. UXM in slot 3 would ensure that UBU3 is allocated to UXM and prevent NTM card corrupting the UBU2 which is allocated to NPM in slot 2. Limitation: May have to rearrange cards in the IGX chassis and change the configuration
CSCds16795	Symptom: For vbr and cbr connections, the ingress/egress MCR on a UXM trunk interface are programmed incorrectly on both the master end and slave end of the load is asymmetrical. Conditions: The load for vbr/abr has to be asymmetrical. Workaround: None.
CSCds55132	Symptom: The user command dsplog d displays two pages of stack dump information. It is difficult to determine which of the two pages is being displayed without page numbers. This is a high privilege level debugging command. Workaround: The first page of the display can be determined by looking at the first few bytes of the stack dump. The second long word contains the software error number and the third long word contains the hex data that is also shown on the summary line.
CSCds59761	Symptom: When a UXM/BXM card is removed, the dspcd command cannot tell if the UXM/BXM card is enhanced or not Conditions: Always Workaround: Check the faceplate of the UXM/BXM card to find out if the card has been removed.
CSCds59779	Symptom: When an active BXM card in a Y-red configuration is removed, switch software does not send a deactivate message Conditions: Always Workaround: None. However, the deactivate message is an extra cautions due to the BXM Y-red outage reported by ATT
CSCds61240	Symptoms: When adding connections on a BPX node displays "Unknown Response (17)". This occurs while adding AUSM to AUSM connections. Conditions: On the remote end, 1) Sum of minutes is exceeding the port speed. 2) Total number of connections are exceeding the number of connections that are allowed for the configured polling rate. BPX nodes running 9.3.10 MGX PXM firmware running 1.1.31 AUSM running 10.0.20. Workaround: Change the pooling rate to 10 minutes by using the cnfsysparm command which will allow up to 8000 connections.
CSCds62060	Symptom: The "Clock Deviation" shown in the dspcurclk command in Release 9.3.00 and later may show an extreme deviation of approximately 4294960 ppm Conditions: This problem may be seen in any SWSW Release starting with 9.3.00. It may occur whenever the measured frequency is below the reference frequency of the active processor's oscillator. Workaround: None.
CSCds69977	Symptom: Modifying the ATM port queue depth does not work from SNMP for BXM ports. Conditions: This problem does not occur for any other queue parameter except for queue depth and it occurs only for the last port in the card. Workaround: 1. This problem is not seen if the port queue depth is configured from CLI using the cnfportq command. 2. It can be avoided by bringing up the next available higher port.
CSCds71475	Symptom: Software error 9083 is logged and stats reserve value is set to a negative value, while configuring the stats reserve parameter through SNMP. Condition: This happens only when configuring VSI-enabled UXM trunk stats reserve value through SNMP. This does not happen on BXM/BPX or VSI disabled UXM trunk or when the stats reserve value is configured from CLI. Workaround: Use the cnftrk command to configure the UXM stats reserve from CLI.
CSCds74027	Symptom: The cnfrsrc screen update does not clear the "Statistical Reserve" line displayed when another user updates the stats reserve parameter to "0" using cnftrk CLI or from SNMP. Condition: This occurs only if the stats reserve parameter value is configured to "0", since only in this case the "Statistical Reserve" line is eliminated from the display. Workaround: Refresh the screen manually by issuing cnfrsrc CLI without modifying any parameters.
CSCds75283	Symptoms: Switch software logs errors 933 and 945 (data 00005011) on a routing IGX/BPX. After these errors are logged, the user cannot ping the network IP address of the routing IGX/BPX or any of the feeder nodes that are attached to the routing IGX/BPX. Since the network IP is unreachable, any IP network application that uses the network IP addresses to communicate with the switches will not work. Those applications include statistics collection, telnet, tftp, etc. Conditions: This problem occurs when the users send the IP packets to the network IP addresses of the routing IGX/BPX and any of the attaching feeder nodes simultaneously. Workaround: Use switchcc or hitless rebuild (the active BCC/NPM).
CSCds75929	Symptom The dspctrlrs output is truncated and does not display the header "Intfc Type", rather it displays the header "Intfc" and truncates the "Name" of the feeder. The dspctrlrs output in BPX does not wraparound if more than one screen of controllers are added. The CLI neither queries the user for displaying more output nor the display is clear. Condition This problem is seen only in BPX and the screen display is cluttered only when the number of controllers exceeds 12 to display more than one page. Workarounds None. dspnode can help to identify the feeders and their type.
CSCds80136	Symptom: LMI/ILMI statistics for the port interfaces on Y-red cards are not displayed correctly. Conditions: This problem only happens when the secondary card of the Y-redundant pair is the active card. Workaround: None.
CSCds82033	Symptom: dspnebdisc CLI does not handle input parameter (slot) properly in IGX. It gives the following error for any slot number given as command line input. "IGX Slot number out of range" Condition: The command will reject any valid or invalid slot number given as command line input. This problem is only seen in IGX (not in BPX). Workaround: Use dspnebdisc CLI without any command line input parameters to display the Neighbor Discovery info for the node.
CSCdt01430	Symptom: NWIP traffic is not delivered and other CC traffic is delivered as expected Conditions: The logical trunk number of a feeder equals the slot number of a BXM virtual trunk and CC traffic is using the virtual trunk. While Y redundancy is not a condition of the problem, if the virtual trunk is Y redundant both physical slots of the Y redundant pair must be evaluated for the stated condition. Workaround: Here are the workarounds and as always must be evaluated with the particular network in mind as far as applicability, reliability desired, etc. 1. Do not use virtual trunks or if you do, restrict CC traffic on ALL virtual trunks that meet the condition of the problem. 2. Use wraparound virtual trunks. Note that the BCC self-test must be disabled if used on a release prior to 9.2.34 as CSCds62320(duplicate of CSCdp46785) will cause loss of traffic on wraparound virtual trunks. 3. Ensure that there is no feeder with a logical trunk number that is equal to the slot number of any virtual trunk. This requires moving the feeder trunk or the virtual trunk(s) if the problem already exists on the node. If adding a new feeder, a good rule would be to make sure that it has a logical trunk number of 16 or above, (i.e. the slot number of any virtual trunk will never equal the logical trunk number, we only have 15 slot)s. Accomplish this by upping trunks to fill up logical trunks. SWSW assigns logical trunk numbers by starting at logical trunk one and performing a sequential search until an unused entry is found. Once 15 trunks have been upped, the feeder trunk can be upped to occupy logical trunk 16. This workaround can be used to help with migration of feeder trunks if that is necessary. Once the feeder is added the dummy trunks upped can be downed. If the switch does not have the cards (ports) to allow upping the dummy trunks we can simulate a 12 port BXM T3 in an empty slot for the dummy trunks as follows: rcp 49 empty_slot rcp 50 empty_slot rcp 51 empty_slot Up the dummy trunks Up the feeder(s) trunks Down the dummy trunks rmcd empty_slot
CSCdt02036	Symptom: Softare error 532 is logged on standby BCC after resetting it. Condition: This happens only on the standby BCC and only if the standby BCC is reset. Workaround: None. This is a benign error and can be safely ignored.
CSCdt07043	Symptom: Issuing the dspoamseg on the BPX feeder endpoint, the connection shows as "segment" when it should be showing as "non-segment" Condition: This condition show all the time on the feeder trunk, either 8220 or 8850R1 Workaround: None.
CSCdt11920	Symptom: Software error 1418 is logged when downing and upping a trunk on a IGX node. (Release 9.3.10 and 9.3.11 only) Condition: This happens only when another telnet session is running which is currently displaying "dsprsrc <trunk>" where "<trunk>" was downed and reupped. Workaround: Execute a different command (e.g., dspcds) on the telnet session which is running "dsprsrc <trunk>"
CSCdt14450	Symptom: A connection will not pass traffic and one or more software errors 524 occurs following a connection reconditioning or reprogramming. Reconditioning occurs whenever a connections status changes, i.e. it is downed, or upped, failed, or cleared. Reprogramming will occur on a switchcc, any type of rebuild, or a card reset. Conditions: This 524 is caused by a AutoRoute/VSI conflict over a LCN. This can be determined by looking at the second screen of the [dsplogcd] output. If the mc_vsi_end_lcn field is not zero and it is smaller than the last_ar_lcn_used field, then there is a conflict that results in this software error. Workaround: The following steps provide a conservative way to avoid this problem. This need only be done when enabling VSI for the first time on the card (i.e. there are no other VSI partitions enabled yet). Use dsplogcd to determine the total number of channels on the card. It is listed on screen one in the "Physical Chans" field. Use dsplogcd to determine the last LCN used for AutoRoute. It is listed on screen two in the "last_ar_lcn_used" field. If last_ar_lcn_used is smaller than the total number of channels then: Use cnfrsrc to enable VSI on the interface and give it one(1) LCN. Use cnfrsrc again to increase the LCN count to the final desired value. At this point if there is an LCN conflict AR will detect it and automatically reprogram the conflicting connections. This can be confirmed by invoking [dsplogcd] on the card and validating that the mc_vsi_end_lcn value is larger than the last_ar_lcn_used value (both shown on screen two). If last_ar_lcn_used is the same as the total number of channels, then: Use dspchmap <slot> <LCN#> to determine which connection this LCN belongs to. Delete the connection and then readd the connection. Use dsplogcd to validate that the last_ar_lcn_used is no longer the same as the total number of channels. If it is then you have used all LCNs on the card and cannot enable VSI on this card. If last_ar_lcn_used is no longer the same as the total number of channels, then follow the instructions above for the "last_ar_lcn_used is smaller than the total number of channels" To correct this problem: Completely disable/delete all VSI partition on the card, and then follow the instructions for avoiding the problem as listed above.
CSCdt22351	Symptom: Memory accumulation occurs after using TFTP to upload firmware, software, or after enabling TFTP interval statistics. Conditions: This occurs whenever new firmware or software using TFTP is uploaded or whenever statistics are either enabled or disabled using the CWM's SCM. The node may run out of memory which could lead to memory allocation failures for important systems. A memory failure would cause a switchcc or a hitless rebuild. The memory leak size is 3-4K while the total amount of memory available is approximately 32M or more. Workaround: For a graceful upgrade this problem is self-correcting, because a graceful upgrade requires a CC switchover, and during switchover the standby (which becomes active) does not have the leak (since it never allocated the memory in the first place), and when the active becomes the standby it will reset itself, freeing all memory. For a nongraceful upgrade, this situation is self-correcting, because it requires a full rebuild which will free all memory, including the leaked memory as it restarts. For a CC-redundant system, switching to the secondary CC would clean up the memory leak. For a non-CC-redundant system, a full rebuild will clean up the firmware memory leak, but not the statistics enable memory leak.
CSCdt24951	Symptom: TFTP interval statistics files are not being created even though the CLI command dspstatparms shows that statistics are enabled. Another variation is that only some TFTP statistics files are not being created. Note: For a TFTP statistics file to be created, interval statistics must be enabled, and at least one TFTP interval statistics must be activated. Condition: This problem will occur when the "statistics file interval" is the same as the "largest statistics polling interval and the "Nt Second Offset" is negative. All of these values are viewable from the dspstatparms screen. When these conditions are true, any time update that changes the local time will cause the current stat file to not be created. Workaround: There are two ways to avoid this problem: 1) Change the file interval so that it is not the same as the largest polling interval. Invoke dspstatparms and determine what the largest polling interval is (either 5, 10, or 15 minutes). Use the SCM to enable the TFTP interval statistics with a different file interval. (Reenable the stats with a different file interval will cause the switch to delete the old stats and then reenable them with the new file and bucket intervals). 2) Change the largest polling interval so that it is different from the statistics file interval. The largest polling interval is the larger of either the channel statistics polling or port statistics polling values, which are configured via the cnfsysparm command and are applicable to every node in the network. Refer to the documentation on the cnfsysparm command for rules affiliated with the setting of the polling rates. In there are4000 or more connection terminating on a node, then the channel stat polling rate must be 10 minutes or longer. If there are 8000 or more connections, the channel stat polling rate must be 15 minutes. Similarly, if there are 300 or more ports on a single node, then the port stat polling rate must be 10 minutes or longer. If there are 500 or more ports on a node, then the port polling rate must be 15 minutes.
CSCdt29906	Symptom: Processing of neighbor discovery updates may corrupt the RAM and BRAM database of the active NPM, as well as leak memory. This memory corruption and leak can lead to abort 1000003 or 3000000. Condition: This only occurs when ILMI is enabled on a UXM port and configured to run on the card. Workaround: Do not run ILMI on the UXM card, or disable ILMI Neighbor Discovery on the other end (the end attached to the UXM) so it does not send ILMI Neighbor Discovery updates. Further Problem Description: For more information on the memory leak and abort 3000000, refer to the release note for defect CSCdt33538.
CSCdt31011	Symptom: Any of the following symptoms could be indicative of this defect. 1) Attempting to delete a looped back connection results in a software error 750, and the connection remains looped back. 2) After deleting the looped back connection and then readding it, it comes back as looped back rather than unlooped. Condition: This problem will occur if the following command sequence is enacted. 1) A port is looped back by using the command addloclp slot.port or addportloclp 2) The port is later configured using cnfport, prior to the loopback being deleted. The connections will remain looped forever. Workaround: There are two possible workarounds: 1. a) Delete all connections on the port b) Down the port c) Up the port d) Readd all connections on the port 2. (This requires DE intervention as it requires a patch memory) a) Path the ports LINE_PORT_CNFG.apc_common.pcnfg_state state value to be LOOPED_PORT (2) b) Invoke delportlp or dellp slot.port to remove all connection loop backs, and correctly turn of the port loop.
CSCdt31282	Symptom: The dsptrkutl command shows the wrong values for feeder trunks. It shows all terminated connections as Frame Relay connections. Condition: The occurs only on feeder trunks connected to a feeder. Workaround: Look for the terminated connections using dspcons

Additional Deliverables

SNMP MIB

The SNMP IGX/BPX switch SNMP MIB is being provided with the delivery of Release 9.3 Switch Software. The MIB is in standard ASN.1 format and is located in the ASCII text files agent.m, ilmi.m, ilmi_ctl.m, ilmiaddr.m, switch.m, swtraps.m, and errors.m which are included in the same directory as the Switch Software images. These files may be compiled with most standards-based MIB compilers.

New Features Supported in BXM Firmware MEC

There are no new features in release MEC.

New Features Supported in BXM Firmware MEB

There are no new features in release MEB.

New Features Supported in BXM Firmware MEA

1. VSI version 2.2 (single partition).

2. ITUT Annex B and configurable Signal Degrade (SD) and Signal Failure (SF) thresholds for SONET Linear APS on BXM-OC-3 and BXM-OC-12 (1+1, 2 card, 1:1).

The current default thresholds are as follows:

BIP count	Condition
10^-4	SF detected
10^-5	SD detected & SF clear
10^-6	SD clear & SF clear

New Features Supported in BXM Firmware MDA

1. Support for Virtual Trunking.

2. Support for BXM MultiLevel Channel Statistics.

3. SONET Linear APS on BXM-OC-3 and BXM-OC-12 (1+1, 2 card, 1:1).

4. Support for card-based LMI and ILMI.

Clarifications:

1. The OC-3 MultiMode Fiber back cards do not support Y-cable redundancy.

2. Upgrade from VSI 1.1 to VSI 2.2 is supported in this release. See upgrade section on page 15.

3. APS 1:1 is not supported for VSI. (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 for release MFE and after, this problem is fixed.

4. Total BW allocated to all VSI partitions on a BXM should not be more that OC-12 rate, i.e., 1412832 cells/s. Currently BCC switch software allows uses to configure more than OC-12 rate, in which case all the PNNI connection commit requests would be NACKed by BXM

Special Installation/Upgrade Requirements

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, first upgrade the standby card with the MFA or above firmware version and wait for all the configuration to be downloaded into the card. Do a switchyred to switch to the card with firmware MFA or above version and burn the other card also with desired version MFA or above firmware. Follow the standard firmware upgrade procedure for downloading and burning the firmware into the cards.

If BCC switch software version is 9.1.18 and dspnovram shows 0 or 4 for Number of Channel Statistics it should be OK to go directly to MFC or above versions directly from MCC.

Features Obsoleted

1. VSI 1.0 is obsolete by VSI 2.2 in this release.

2. 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. However it is still supported for all the other models (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 and Cautions

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

2. MFE is a not on CCO, as it an Orion specific release.

3. While upgrading from firmware, on OC-3, 1-port OC-12 BXM cards, if statistics level on BXM is greater than 1, the upgrade should take place according to the one of the upgrade procedures below to avoid the card mismatch:

Upgrading from firmware revision MEA or higher.

Step 1 Switch software should be upgraded to Release 9.2.30 or higher.

Step 2 Upgrade the firmware to MFJ.

Upgrading from firmware revision lower than MEA:

Step 1 Firmware should be upgraded to MEC.

Step 2 Upgrade the switch software to Release 9.2.30 or higher.

Step 3 Upgrade the firmware to MFJ.

4. Burn firmware should not be interrupted. Card resets in the middle of burn firmware will result 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 will report the card as FAILED. This state can be recovered by reburning the firmware into the card.

5. 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.

6. 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 back card should be green, since it is carrying traffic. WORK back card should also be green since that is the physical path for the primary (and active) card to pass traffic. So back card LED green means the back card is directly or indirectly carrying traffic and pulling the back card will cause traffic disruption (CSCdm53430).

7. In APS 1+1 default configuration and manual W->P is on and a switchyred command 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).

8. 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 will become active (CSCdm53420).

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

Known Anomalies

The following is the list of known anomalies for the BXM firmware:

Bug ID	Description
CSCdr06316	Symptoms: VPC connection drops cells over BXM trunks. Condition: Reproducible Workaround: None.
CSCdr11810	Symptoms: BXM does not report A-bit errors when SPVC feeder is provisioned without Auto Route feeder segment. Condition: Reproducible Workaround: None.
CSCdr45464	Symptoms: 0B card error reported on BXM-OC3 cards. Condition: When the cards are in Y-redundancy configuration. Probably caused by bad hardware. Workaround: None.
CSCdr85398	Symptom: 2 nodes with 2 PNNI controllers, and cnfpnportrange command used to force a LOC, missing COA point trap dnpnport/uppnport, restarting ILMI session, results in COA trap. Condition: When ILMI session is first initialized or restarted, if SysUpTime doesn't change, COA trap shouldn't not be sent to controller. When an LOC is detected by ILMI on BXM and it is followed by a "Loss of Attachment Point" when connectivity is re-established, ILMI on slave does not give a "Loss of Attachment Point" trap. Workaround: None
CSCds01128	Symptoms: LOS sometimes occurs on several trunks. Conditions: Unknown. According to the bug report, once in awhile for a couple of minutes. Workaround: None. The trunks recover on their own.
CSCds16136	Symptom: A channel mismatch appears as status even though LOS is still present. Conditions: In near succession, recovery of LOS on Working line and appearance of LOS on Protection line. Workaround: None.
CSCds21403	Symptom: After downing the NNI ports, ports go into a provisioning state because of running buffer leakage. Conditions: Not available at this time. Workaround: Reset the card and continue.
CSCds47753	Symptoms: Card error occurs in standby "VrmDekConnEndPoint Try to delete" Condition: When standby syncs up with active, it tries to delete a non-existing connection. Workaround: The card error indicates an invalid attempt to delete a non-existing connection. This does not create a problem in existing or new connections.
CSCdt13171	Symptom: After using the command dellp, traffic is not right when a VP connection and cnfln VC shaping is enabled. Condition: Reproducible. Workaround: None.
CSCdt21569	Symptom: CAC policy is not downloaded to some BXMs, causing connection fails or building VC. Conditions: Intermittent Workaround: None.
CSCdt26321	Symptom: Card error 0xb0000005 results in a failed state for BXM when the number of connections for one card goes to 31.6k. Condition: Intermittent Workaround: None.

Bugs Fixed in MFK

The following bugs are fixed in MFK

Bug ID	Description
CSCdp16050	Symptom: The maxvc function for CAC is not working Condition: Reproducuble Workaround: None.
CSCdr19696	Symptom: Unable to detect when a line is out of SD/SF condition. Both aps lines always show in OK state in dspapsln. Conditions: APS Line switches to standby line because of a SD/SF condtion. dspapsln still shows OK for both lines. Workaround: Use rsh command to get all APS line's status.
CSCds65105	Symptom: When pumping ATM CBR traffic at the rate over the port line rate (BXM-622), the egress dspchstats shows the number of cells "From Network" to be double that of "To Port". Conditions: DAX connection from BXM-622 port 1-2 on the same node with ADTECH generate traffic. Workaround: None
CSCds76142	Symptom: The BXM card shows standby-failed status. Condition: Downloading firmware on a standby card. Workaround: Reset the BXM card.
CSCds85653	Symptom: A BXM card error of "cb_if.c 1588 CbCoreTxEvent(): Failed core_cbmsg_put: return ..." occurs. Condition: Continually doing switchcc with large number of AR/SPVC connections. Workaround: Reset the BXM card.
CSCdt04632	Symptoms: For a VSI partition, the available number of LCN reported is greater than the maximum number of LCN configued for that partition. Conditions: When the unused LCN is less than the maximum LCN configured for the partition and the unused LCN for the port group plus the LCN left from the reserved (min-curr) is greater than the maximum of the partition. Workaround: None.
CSCdt21322	Symptom: BXM load information returned to controller is wrong when maxbw set to 0 Condition: Reproducible Workaround: None.

CSCdr19696	Symptom: Unable to determine when the line is out of SD/SF condition. Both the aps lines always show OK state in dspapsln. Conditions: APS Line switches to standby line because of SD/SF condition. dspapsln will still show OK for both lines. Workaround: Use rsh command for aps line status.
CSCds04137	Symptom: Channels remains in mismatch after lockout is cleared. Conditions: In ITU-T Annex B protocol for APS, when a condition causes a switch to occur while a lockout request is present, the channel change will not resynchronize even after the lockout is cleared. Workaround: No ne.
CSCds11506	Symptom: Minimum guaranteed cell rate shows a cell less than configured. Conditions: Setting minimum BW to 3333334 and policy BW% to 5859 Workaround: Increase the minimum BW by a few cells.
CSCds32845	Symptom: Connection commits rejected with "no resources" even when resources are available. Condition: Enabling/disabling a virtual trunk. Workaround: Reset the BXM after disabling a VT on any interface on the card.
CSCds37237	Symptom: If the network migration flag is enabled before upgrading, then after burning the new image, the network migration flag is incorrectly disabled. Condition The problem only occurs to the card whose previous image is BXMMFC-BXMMFF, and the network migration flag was enabled before upgrading, and BXMMFH is the new image. Workaround: Issue either the rsh <slot> cdcfg netmig dis command before the upgrading, or rsh <slot> cdcfg netmig en after upgrading, to enable the network migration flag on BXMMFH.
CSCds53645	Symptom: ABR connections (PNNI) are not properly programmed for redundant slave.

Bug ID

Description

CSCds14495

Symptom:

Dynamic Partitioning and SPVC AIS generation does not work until a rsh command is issued to enable the network migration flag and reset the card.

Condition:

When a card comes up and has never enabled the network migration flag for lifetime. This network migration flag is used for enabling dynamic partitioning and SPVC AIS, status report generations. By default, the flag is disabled.

Workaround

Use the "rsh <slot> cdcfg netmig en/dis" command to enable/disable the flag, then reset the card once in a lifetime.

Bug ID	Description
CSCdp89085	Symptom: The total call count becomes negative on the BXM interface. However, this problem has not be reproducible. Condition: If this problem happens, the following card error is displayed: 'vsi_rsrc_pfns.c 483 VrmRetLcnResources 3, 16316' Workaround: A related bug CSCdr86894 which reported an incorrect number of total call counts, has been found to be the result of an uninitialized variable in vsi_rsrc_conn_pfns.c: VrmRsrcClrRCMP(). The debugging information embedded in this function may be helpful in verifying the negative call count problem if it is reproduced.
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 Neighbor Discovery 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. Condition: 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 Neighbor Discovery, 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 at@ Bcc in addition to existing dnpnport at the vsi controller. Support for backrev'd cards added, and corrections to logic in ILMI FSM state machine to properly send TopoTrap to BCC. Workaround: None.
CSCdr79610	Symptom: Change booking factor for a class of service, get rejected. Condition: 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 the cos_min_bw, you will be able to change booking factor freely.
CSCdr79936	Symptom: Statistics files not generated/missing on some 15 minutes intervals. Condition: When system time is changed at 15 minutes boundaries. Workaround: Minimize system time and card config changes.
CSCdr83144	Symptom: Card error of 'N. Fatal from 0x17: 0x25120075 0x809b5f90 0x367e 0x1 Condition: switchyred, switchcc or reset PXM when there are spvc connections with stats enabled. Workaround: None.
CSCdr89217	Symptom: Software error log of 9098. Condition: cnfrsrc of partition 3 using MEB firmware. Workaround: None.
CSCdr89966	Symptom: Card error of 0x41030006. Condition: PXM controller is upgraded/rebooted. Workaround: None.
CSCds08448	Symptoms: ERS (explicit rate stamping) is working only on the first virtual trunk and not for subsequent VTs (standard ABR). Cause: 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 trunk or a physical trunk. Multiple virtual trunks on the same physical port will cause a problem.
CSCds11484	Symptom: Available cell rate reported by BXM is incorrect. Condition: Sum of the minimum bandwidths of all the interfaces on a BXM reaches OC12 rate. Workaround: Reduce the minimum BW on all interfaces by half.

Bug ID	Description
CSCdm16800	Symptom: Card error 0xC000007 appears in the card error log. Cause: This error indicates that an unknown type of cell which is not expected has arrived in the egress QE. Resolution: Engineering has done an in-depth investigation into this case. We are convinced that the problem does not affect user traffic or the node in any other way. Therefore, the symptom will not be reported as a card error.
CSCdp05098	Symptom: Cell discards occur for ABRFST/ABRSTD connections when the traffic burst is greater than the MBS. Condition: This occurs when the traffic burst size is fixed to 140000 cells at 70000 cps. The connection 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.
CSCdp22930	Symptom: Not available. Condition: Cbus read/write operations set-up in the PUUMBA chip when performing cbus receive/transmit. Workaround: None
CSCdp74680	Symptom: Even if the interface is in LOS, the SPVCs do not generate ingress AIS into the network. Condition: Connection is added after the interface goes into LOS. Workaround: None
CSCdp97307	Symptom: When executed "rsh<slot> vsi cm Vsils" without parameter, the card will crash. Conditions: Always. Workaround: Pull-out the card and reinsert.
CSCdr44250	Symptom: Private image did not allow as many OAM cells to flow as public image. Condition: This occurred by undoing a hardware fix in a private image. Workaround: This was never introduced into the Public view and no workaround is required.
CSCdr45986	Symptom: Standby and active block checksum value do not match and resync happens on switchover. Condition: When active card has many SPVC connections derouted, it happens. Workaround: None.
CSCdr57712	Symptom: Multi-partition fails to report all virtual trunks. Condition: In case of virtual trunks with different partition. Workaround: Reset the BXM card.
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 firmware are not predictable. At least two variations are observed: Variation 1: port 11.2 has it's neighbor's info, but port 11.1 doesn't. Variation 2: both ports 11.1 and 11.2 only know the IP addresses of their neighbors. The neighbor's IFName is missing. Condition: When ILMI session restarts, remnants of IfName, IpAddr from previous session are left. Clear/reset IfName, IpAddr in MIB, on ILMI session restart. In FMSStart, pIlmiProcessFsmStart() calls a new function, IlmiClrPeerAndSendTopoTrap(pcb_ptr->session_id).
CSCdr71473	Symptom: Unreachable BXM, sw errors and cd errors on the BPX. Condition: LMI is enabled when controller either slow to respond or unreachable. Workaround: Disable LMI.
CSCdr77238	Symptom: Switch general info does not contain bulk set capability bit. With newer images of PXM, bulk set will not work with BXM images prior to MFD. Condition: PXM images later than 07/06/2000 contains logic to identify the bulk set capability of the slave. BXM images prior to 07/06/2000 will not have this bit set because it is newly introduced parameter in VSI spec. Workaround: None. Upgrade to MFD or later.
CSCdr79936	Symptom: Statistics files not generated/missing on some 15 minutes intervals. Condition: When system time is changed at 15 minutes boundaries. Workaround: Minimize system time and card config changes.
CSCdr86894	Symptom: Many ports have VC failure because BXM has no resource to build the CVC. Condition: Intermittent. Workaround: Reset BXM card.

Bug ID	Description
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. Condition: This happens if on NNI side VPI > 0xff. Workaround: None.
CSCdp63445	Symptom: ABR and UBR connections loose traffic when VC shaping is turned on. Condition: Enabling of VC shaping on port terminating ABR and UBR connections Workaround: Leave VC shaping disabled.
CSCdr14247	Symptom: The correct state of an SPVC is not reflected in connection bulk traps for large number of connections (> 1000). Sometimes Connection states keep toggling between AIS and CLR state when the connections are actually in AIS state Condition: 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.
CSCdr29278	Symptom: Originally the card used to get frozen not responding to any request from the controller, as the TCB database was corrupted. But it has been protected now. But whenever a null pointer is being inserted into the TCB list a card error is being flagged. It is a harmless card error (not service affecting) Condition: The cause is unknown. Workaround: None.
CSCdr30454	Symptom: Connections (LCNs) can not satisfied because of insufficient memory Condition: When channel stat level is set to 0 Workaround: Use chan stat level (cnfcdparm) 1, 2 or 3
CSCdr33867	Symptom: Connect OC-3 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. Condition: 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.
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. Condition" 1. The policy parameters for the partition have been configured as nonzero at some of the class of service, for example, 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.
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) Condition: 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.
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) Condition: For enhanced cards, when WFQ is enabled, the local congestion is monitored at the Egress side by the hardware. In order to do this, a few variables that need to be initialized. There were some problems with the initialization routine, causing inaccurate tracking of the congestion level. Workaround: None. Has been fixed.
CSCdr42885	Symptom: All the ports on a BXM slave go into provisioning state. Condition: Controller looses communication with the BXM. This happens when AAL5 driver in the BXM malfunctions and does not free the message buffers of the application processes (ILMI/VSI and so on). Eventually BXM runs out of message buffers. Workaround: Reset the BXM card.
CSCdr43012	Symptom: All the ports on a BXM slave go into provisioning state. Condition: Controller looses communication with the BXM as AAL5 driver in BXM gets stuck. Workaround: Reset the BXM card.
CSCdr49056	Symptom: Invalid Part id in SPVC stats after controller is added. Condition: This problem happens when SFM receives the VSI message before adding the controller. This is possible to happen when there is a delay between 52 and 61 message. Since 52 add the control vc it will receive the frame and give it SFM task. But SFM won't have any information for that partition and will report the error saying that invalid partition. Since this is possible to happen as per design, the card is removed now.
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. Condition: 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.
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
CSCdr51970	Symptom: Change CAC policy parameters will cause the available BW for some cos to be negative. Condition: 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.
CSCdr52195	Symptom: All the ports on a BXM slave go into provisioning state. Condition: Controller looses communication with the BXM as AAL5 driver in BXM gets stuck. Workaround: Reset the BXM card.
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. Condition: 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.
CSCdr57805	Symptom: Card errors show up indicating "CB_TASK is ready" Condition: 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.
CSCdr59241	Symptom: Building VC status on UNI ports after repeated enabling/disabling of partition with the control port Condition: 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.
CSCdr66273	Symptom: The encoding is in the reverse of the expected value by UNI4.0 spec. Condition: STD ABR connections. Workaround: None.

Bug ID	Description
CSCdm52254	Symptom: Random BIP-8 errors show up on T3 when running in direct map (HEC) mode. There is no such thing as a BIP-8 error in the direct map mode. But this counter should report 0 in this mode. Condition: 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.
CSCdp58969	Symptom: cb_get.c CB_VPC_STATUS_POLL SoItcSend Failed upon VSI Failure Condition: When VSI receives and transmits lot of vsi message AAL5 drive will get into deadlock problem if it had missed a DMA interrupt Workaround: None. Upgrade to MEF or newer version of firmware
CSCdp57596	Symptom: CB_TASK on BXM goes into deadlock state causing VSI session to be lost Condition: This happens when both Ingress and Egress qe semaphore is taken by IDLE_TASK and it never released in an error condition Workaround:. None. Upgrade to MEF or newer versions of firmware.
CSCdp25220	Symptom: Avail Buffer on BXM = 0 on LVC flapping for xtag interfaces Condition: Same as CSCdp58969. During this condition AAL5 driver doesn't release the transmission buffer. Workaround: None. Upgrade to/MEF or newer versions of firmware
CSCdp59328	Symptom: EPD bit was not set for interslave control vc Condition: When vsi get congestion (same as CSCdp58969) Workaround: None. Upgrade to/MEF or newer versions of firmware
CSCdp92916	Symptom: Commands executed on stdby card affect APS line Condition: Series of commands executed in stdby card affects APS line Workaround: None.Upgrade to MEF or newer version of firmware
CSCdp39723	Symptom: Aps not functioning in 9.2.21 w/FW ME18@sprintf for Bidirectional w/Nonrevertive Condition: Reversion was happening due to spurious SF/SD events.Fixed by setting the right values for SF/SD thresholds Workaround: None.Upgrade to MEF or newer version of firmware
CSCdp20848	Symptom: SF switchover does not occur after dncd/upcd execution on Annex B 1+1 APS Condition: 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 Condition: 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
CSCdp32646	Symptom: WTR Timer does not work and reversion occurs during SF switchover Condition:. Added a preparation switch mode where the current active channel is the secondary channel. At the expiry of WTR, the secondary channel is changed to the become the primary channel. Workaround: None. Upgrade to MEF or newer version of firmware
CSCdp35156	Symptom: BPX APS reverts back to the working line before WTR time has expired Condition: TR was being pre-empted by a spurious SD condition. Fixed by setting the right thresholds for SF/SD based on BER Workaround: None. Upgrade to MEF or newer version of firmware
CSCdp60696	Symptom: Both lines fail when only one line in alarm Condition: 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
CSCdp65320	Symptom: Need a trap when BPX puts APS in lockout Condition: Send the traps in the right sequence. First send the Lockout trap and then the failed to switch trap if there is a switch attempt while lockout is in effect. Workaround: None. Upgrade to MEF or newer version of firmware
CSCdp25130	Symptom: APS Non-revertive bidirectional feature Condition: Resolved Workaround: None
CSCdp79156	Symptom: TDP signalling cross connect VSI request rejected by BXM Condition: If BPX is configured with trunks and virtual trunks the virtual trunks are initialized properly with qbin size. Workaround: None. Upgrade to MEF or newer version of firmware

Fixed by clearing all alarms when reconfiguring the lines.None. Workaround: None. Upgrade to MEF or newer version of firmware
CSCdp89972	Symptom: Node rebuild caused 3 BXM cards failed Condition: Moved the allocation and initialization of the Connection database to the SoCoEnterStandby function instead of in the 0x50 handler (SoCdUp) Workaround: None. Upgrade to MEF or newer version of firmware
CSCdp86147	Symptom: The removal of Rx cable of APS trunk leading to loss of Frm and Prot Sw Byt Fail Condition: While removing the Rx cable of APS working line (configured to trunk) working line goes to Loss of Frm and dsptrks shows the trunk in alarm. After connecting cable back the APS Alarm status shows "Prot Sw Byt FAIL" Workaround: None. Upgrade to MEF or newer version of firmware
CSCdp84386	Symptom: Connectivity w/BXM lost due to missing DMA completion interrupts Condition: Aal5 driver will be in deadlock and never transmits and receives. Workaround: None. Upgrade to MEF or newer version of firmware
CSCdp38148	Symptom: Resetcd slot 11 on BPX causes local APS switching Condition: Reimpose the selector and bridge states on both ACTIVE and STANDBY cards after a Y-Red switchover, re-discover the line states and re-execute and external requests.Also include a STABILITY timer before the line state is processed.

Bugs Fixed in MFA

The following bugs are fixed in MFA.

Bug ID	Description
CSCdm53420	Symptom: switchyred causes APS line to switch when last user request is clear Condition: APS 1+1 configuration. The protection line was active and the "last user switch request" was clear. When a switchyred was performed, APS line switched to working line active Workaround:
CSCdm93274	Symptom: OC-3 back card LED is wrong after reset/pull cards Condition: Multiple APS lines on a card and perform switchyred when Working line is active and Secondary card is active Workaround: None.
CSCdm04312	Symptom: The problem is a false failure is declared against the SIMBA Multicast Record RAM. Condition: The problem occurs when Self Test is activated against a Y-Redundant pair of BME Cards (BXM-622 cards loaded with the multicast BME firmware) that have more than 1000 connections programmed through them. Workaround: Disable Self Test via the cnftstparm command.
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.
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. Condition: 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 MINOR HCS 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.

CSCdm82688	Symptom: Traffic Shaping problems with VT with and without wraparound solution Condition: Large deviations in CDV values Workaround:
CSCdm94372 (see explanation below)	Symptom: Trunks sometimes drop cbr traffic Condition: If a trunk is configured to full line rate on BXM cards, then traffic is dropped Workaround:
CSCdp00063	Symptom: Node unreachability is experienced on VTs (virtual trunks) Condition: 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 is As Follows (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

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.

Therefore, only rates in the table or computed from the equation should be used.

Otherwise cell loss may be experienced.

Bugs Fixed in MEB

The following is the list of bugs fixed in release MEB.

Bug ID

Description

CSCdm50469

Symptom:

Software error 105 and malloc card errors happened continuously

Condition:

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.

Condition:

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.

Condition:

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

The following is the list of bugs fixed in MEA.

Bug ID	Description
CSCdm09882	Symptom: Log non fatal message related to RCMP errors. Condition: It is mainly seen in the heat chamber. Workaround: None
CSCdm18186	Symptom: AIS status could be randomly be displayed in dspcon Condition: 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 occurred during switchyred BXM Condition: 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. Condition: 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. Condition: When MC10 is burnt into BXM-OC-12 with trunks. Workaround: None
CSCdm37709	Symptom: APS line fails to clear channel mismatch after lockout. Condition: 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. Condition: 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 Annex B line. Condition: 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

The following is the list of 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. Condition: 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. Condition: 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. Condition: 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. Condition: BXM fw allowed configuration of networking channel to be bidirectional only. Workaround: None

New Features

There are no new features in the UXM firmware ACC.

UXM firmware ACB introduced the following features:

1. VSI Slave on UXM card.

The VSI slave functionality enables the UXM card to be connected to an external MPLS controller (7200 series Router) and offers MPLS solutions to IGX customers.

2. ILMI on UXM card.

Obsolete Features

None.

Compatibility

1. Software

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

2. Hardware

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

Bugs Resolved in ACC

UXM firmware ACC is a maintenance release. The open bugs known at this stage are listed in the Known Anomalies section of this appendix. The firmware release ACC also contains the bug fixes done in the Model B firmware up to revision ABJ and the fixes for the bugs CSCdr98036 and CSCdp05824, which were fixed after ABJ was released.

Upgrade Instructions

The firmware upgrade to ACC version requires that the run-time firmware to be first upgraded to an intermediate version, revision ABJ. However, before upgrading the firmware to revision ABJ, the boot code has to be upgraded to boot 8.

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

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

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.

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 pay attention to this section before loading the new firmware.

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

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

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

Known Anomalies

Bug ID	Description
CSCdr71426	Symptom: If the self-test frequency is set to one second (using cnftstparm), and upln is issued on a Standby UXM card, the card goes into a failed state and resets itself. Conditions: The card is in Standby. The line upped is not connected to any device on the other end. Workaround: Do not set the self-test frequency to one second.
CSCdr79193	Symptom: UXM OC-3 card goes into Active-F state when any port/trunk is in LOS. Condition: This only happens on a UXM OC-3 card when any of the ports/trunks is in LOS state. Workaround: Down the port/trunk.
CSCds34479	Symptoms: Software error 104 is logged. Conditions: When burning UXM boot revision 8. Workaround: Resetcd and reburn the boot.
CSCds69784	Symptoms: Software error 9000/C10A is logged when delyred is used. Conditions: Using delyred on IMA-T1. Workarounds: None.
CSCds77189	Symptoms: Software error C202,0x2f is logged. Conditions: During a full rebuild of the node, some of the keep alive messages from the Y-red pair are dropped. Workarround: None.
CSCds80842	Symptom: Software error C01C is sometimes logged when UXM switches from Active to HotStby. Effect: Will not affect existing connections. May reduce the number of CBAs available to VSI on the card. Workaround: Down the redundant card and reset the active card.
CSCds84317	Symptom: Neighbor discovery information, IfName/IfIndex, is being sent even though Neighbor Discovery is not enabled on the port. Conditions: The UXM port is up with ILMI enabled to run on the card, with ILMI polling and traps enabled. Workarounds: None.

Bugs Fixed in ACC

Bug ID	Description
CSCds01706	Symptoms: During burnfw operations on a Y-red pair, one of UXM receives a VSI_SW_RESYNC_END_RSP on on its YRED CVC, presumably from the other UXM pair and finds it is not in ACTIVE YRED state and drops the message causing it to log this 0xc202 (Fn code 0x87). Conditions: Intermittent. Workaround: Clear the software log and continue.
CSCds04085	Description: When the hot-standby card is syncing with the active card during the initial bring-up phase of the hot-standby card (addyred or resetcd), if the active card fails, the hot_standby will switchover to active. But some of its connection state may be dangling since the sync-up was not completed. This can cause a variety of problems including continuity failures through the card. Workaround: Reset the active card.
CSCds05041	Symptom: C02D is logged on the standby. Condition: Delyred executes on the Y-red pair. Workaround: Reset the standby card. This will not impact service since the card is already in the standby state.
CSCds13881	Symptoms: During a full rebuild of the node, the UXM card receives a new command before it completes processing the previous pending command. UXM than logs 0xC30E. Conditions: Intermittent Workaround: Clear the swlog. This is a trivial issue as the controllers resyncs after a period of time.
CSCds14102	Description: IfName may be incorrectly truncated to six bytes with the dspnebdisc command when a UXM is connected back-to-back to another UXM/BXM with ILMI enabled. Workaround: Refresh the screen.
CSCds20180	Symptoms: Loss of VSI connections for router via port that is reporting errors. Conditions: Hitless rebuild followed by Y-red switchover. Workaround: Reset the card.
CSCds42040	Symptoms: When the Cisco7200 (in Cisco IOS version 12.1(4.0.1)T) is operating as a Label Switch Controller for the IGX switch, label bindings may not succeed for all destinations. Some bindings remain in the ParentWait/BindWait state. In this state, MPLS will not function for those destinations. Conditions: This problem is only seen when the switch being controlled is the IGX and when the number of destinations/bindings is greater than 100. Workaround: Reduce the number of destinations/bindings that need to be created (change topology).
CSCds43364	Symptoms: When LCNs are increased and decreased in Y-red in such a way that a CBA block is released to the software during cnfrsrc. Conditions: The cards are in a Y-red pair and CBAs on the cards are out of sync.If a switchover is done the C01b's are getting logged.
CSCds43915	Symptoms: Router does not display neighbor information of IGX. IGX displays correct neighbor information of router. Conditions: Dncd/upcd causes this problem. Workaround: Resetcd will restore the information on the router.
CSCds58417	Symptoms: When two cards are a Y-red and one is down, resetting the active card will cause a TCB leak of two buffers when the card comes up. Conditions: Running rsh slot vsi DspVsiSize will show a TCB count of 15 instead of 17. Workaround: Do not reset the active card when the standby is down.
CSCds72010	Symptoms: Software error C30D logs during a hitless rebuild. Conditions: When there is a Y-red switch over from HotStandby to Active. Workaround: None.

Boot Code Requirements

Boot Code revision boot_08 is needed for the ACC 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.

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.

e.g. T3 UXM config.

Appendix C

URM Firmware XAA Release Notes

Introduction

URM XAA is the first firmware release for URM card on IGX. The URM is an IOS-based voice module for the IGX.

New Features

URM XAA provides Cisco IOS-based voice capability on the IGX. The URM IOS-based voice features are the same as the voice functions on 3600 router.

Obsolete Features

None.

Compatibility

1. Software

XAA firmware is compatible with Switch Software Release 9.3.20 or later.

2. Hardware

XAA firmware is compatible with URM model hardware.

Bugs Resolved in XAA

None. XAA is the first URM firmware release.

Boot Code Requirements

Boot Code revision boot_2 is needed for the XAA release.

Unsupported Configurations or Applications

1. External interfaces are under the control of IOS. Status of those interfaces are not available via the IGX CLI.

2. Unlike URM images, IOS images cannot be stored in the NPM. Upgrading IOS images requires downloading IOS from the server directly into the URM router flash.

3. Since there is no physical line connecting the embedded UXM to the embedded IOS router, all line configuration/alarms/statistics found in the standalone UXM card are not necessary.

4. Since the embedded UXM has no connection policing device, traffic policing is not supported.

5. The embedded UXM will not support Inverse Multiplexing over ATM (IMA).

6. The embedded UXM in the URM will not support trunk mode operation.

7. There is no support for Y-cable redundancy.

Notes and Cautions

1. The URM back card is hot-swappable; however the IOS processor will be held in reset when back card is removed

2. Debug interfaces

a. Admin processor debugging—Similar to the UXM card, there are two interfaces provided for Cisco internal debugging capabilities. They are not available to the customer. A console (RS-232) admin port is available for access to the Admin processor. Additionally there is an Ethernet port that can be used for downloading Admin processor firmware.

b. IOS processor debugging—There is a console port available on the back card, which provides access to IOS CLI. This may be used for displaying status or debugging purpose.

3. Card Mismatch. Card mismatch will be declared in the following conditions.

Incompatible front card/back card combinations.
Invalid back card for given configuration.
Slot is reserved for a different card type.

4. URM IOS configuration is stored in the card NOVRAM. If the card is replaced or if for any other reasons the IOS configuration cannot be restored from the card NOVRAM, the configuration needs to be restored by the user as with a stand-alone router. The configuration of the URM embedded UXM is maintained by the NPM and reprogrammed to the card on card rebuilds.

5. IOS will not boot up until the URM is brought up to the Active state.

6. IPC communication between the Admin processor and IOS processor will be set up when the IOS processor boots up. Before IOS boot up, the NPM will show "IOS Unavailable" alarm.

7. WAN connections are not activated unless the router is active.

8. User has to program both legs of the ATM connection, the WAN and the router leg, and has to make sure the types and parameters of the two legs match up.

9. Unlike a standalone router (which uses the config register), the URM router's configuration and image control is done from the IGX CLI console. By default the router configuration stored in the URM router NVRAM is ignored and the router comes up with a blank configuration. To setup normal operation the user has to configure the router, save the configuration in the NVRAM, and from the IGX console program configure the URM to use NVRAM as the configuration source. By default on activation the router loads the image from its flash.

10. If the URM card is replaced or if for any other reasons the IOS configuration cannot be restored from the card NOVRAM, the configuration needs to be restored by the user as with a stand-alone router.
