Prerequisites for Firmware Version 3.92

This section describes prerequisites that apply specifically to Firmware Version 3.92 on the Cisco RF Switch, used in conjunction with the Cisco IOS N+1 Redundancy feature on the Cisco CMTS.

•The Cisco RF Switch must be cabled and installed in full compliance with the documents listed in the "Additional References" section.

Restrictions for Firmware Version 3.92

This section describes restrictions that apply specifically to Firmware Version 3.92 on the Cisco RF Switch, used in conjunction with the Cisco IOS N+1 Redundancy feature on the Cisco CMTS.

•Cisco recommends upgrading to Firmware Version 3.92, even with earlier Cisco IOS releases subject to N+1 Prerequisites and Restrictions such as feature interoperability, factory default configurations, etc.

Refer to the following document located on Cisco.com for further information on Firmware Version 3.92:

Release Notes for Cisco IOS Software Release 12.3 BC

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/iosswrel/ps5187/prod_release_notes_list.html

•Version 3.92 allocates new nvmem location to support long passwords (up to 32 characters) and SNMP community string (up to 64 characters).

•In Version 3.92, on first reboot after migration from previous version, the new password and community string areas are installed and old settings (if any) are copied to new location.

•If the user downgrades from 3.92 to a previous version, some of the configuration parameters in the newer versions are not recognized by the older software which causes the some of the config elements to be reset to default values.

•If user downgrades from Version 3.92 to Version 3.80, the new nvmem location for password and community string is not recognized, and the password is removed and community string is set to private.

•If the user downgrades from Version 3.92 to Version 3.60 or earlier, the password is removed and community string is set to private, and the ip address, default gateway and tftp address are reset to default values.

Note Version 3.92 is case-sensitive and stores passwords and SNMP community strings as they are entered on the CLI. In previous versions the case-sensitivity was not preserved and passwords and community strings were converted internally — passwords were stored in all uppercase and community strings in all lowercase. The parser allowed the user to type in any case as long as the letters matched.

When the user upgrades to Version 3.92, the mixed case passwords and SNMP community strings from previous versions are stored as lower case characters. After the upgrade, the user should verify the password and community string and set them as desired.

Prerequisites for Firmware Version 3.90

This section describes prerequisites that apply specifically to Firmware Version 3.90 on the Cisco RF Switch, used in conjunction with the Cisco IOS N+1 Redundancy feature on the Cisco CMTS.

Prerequisites for Firmware Version 3.80

This section describes prerequisites that apply specifically to Firmware Version 3.80 on the Cisco RF Switch, used in conjunction with the Cisco IOS N+1 Redundancy feature on the Cisco CMTS.

•The Cisco RF Switch must be cabled and installed in full compliance with the documents listed in the "Additional References" section.

To define the number of upstream and downstream channels and modules in the Cisco RF Switch chassis, use the configure card count command in System mode.

configure card count { n | maxcards }

Note The set slot config command replaces the configure card count command beginning with Cisco RF Switch Firmware Version 3.30.

Syntax Description

n

The number of downstream and upstream modules to be configured for use with the Cisco RF Switch.

maxcards

Sets the maximum number of downstream and upstream modules installed in the associated Cisco router:

•13 — the number of modules for the Cisco 3x10 RF Switch with the Cisco uBR10012 router


Defaults

The default configuration is 13 slots defined for the chassis card count in the 3x10 scheme.

Usage Guidelines

This command can be used to enable Slot 14, which is normally unused in the Cisco RF Switch. If Slot 14 is used, then there are up to 28 virtual modules in the Cisco 3x10 RF Switch when configured for 4+1 Redundancy mode.

Note This is a system-level command. You may need to type the set access system command prior to using the configure card count command.

Tip If you are using upstream (US) dense-mode combining on the Cisco universal broadband router, you can make this configuration at the CMTS interface and save some US ports on the Cisco RF Switch. Cisco supports a 3x10 downstream-to-upstream configuration. You may also be required to configure the Cisco RF Switch in the 4+1 mode if using the Cisco uBR7246VXR router chassis in Cisco IOS Release 12.3(9a)BC.
