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 BChttp://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.

Restrictions for Firmware Version 3.60
•
The Cisco uBR7246VXR router only supports N+1 Redundancy using Cisco IOS Release 12.3(9a)BC or prior N+1-enabled Cisco IOS releases. Firmware Version 3.60 supports N+1 Redundancy in these earlier releases.

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.
