Command History

Release
Modification

12.0(4)XI1

This command was introduced.

12.0(5)T

This command was implemented on additional Cisco platforms.

12.1(1)XD

This command was implemented on the Cisco AS5400.

12.1(3)T

This command was implemented on the Cisco AS5800.


Usage Guidelines

The spe global configuration command enables the SPE configuration mode. Configure your SPE by specifying a slot and an SPE associated with the slot; or, you can configure a range of SPEs by specifying the first and last SPE in the range.

When the access server is booted, the spe global configuration command specifies the location from which the firmware image is downloaded to the SPE. If the spe configuration command is used to download the firmware from Flash memory and subsequently the no version of the exact command is entered, then the spe command downloads the embedded firmware.


Note Use this command when traffic is low because the spe download does not begin until the modems have no active calls.



Caution The spe command is a configuration command. Save it using the write memory command; otherwise, the configuration is not saved. If the configuration is not saved, the downloading of the specified firmware does not occur after the next reboot.

Examples

The following example shows the spe command being used from global configuration mode to access the SPE configuration mode for the range of SPEs from 1/2 to 1/4 on the Cisco AS5400:

Router(config)# spe 1/2 1/4

The following example specifies the range for use of the shutdown command:

Router(config)# spe 1/1 1/18
Router(config-spe)# shutdown
Router(config-spe)# no shutdown
Router(config-spe)#

spe call-record modem {max-userid number | quiet}

no spe call-record modem {max-userid number | quiet}

Syntax Description

max-userid number

Maximum length of User ID for the modem call record report in number of bytes. The range is 0 to 100.

quiet

Disables logging to console and terminal, but not to syslog.


Defaults

SPE call record is enabled.

spe download maintenance

To perform download maintenance on Service Processing Elements (SPEs) that are marked for recovery, use the spe download maintenance command in global configuration mode. To unmark the ports, use the no form of the command.

spe download maintenance {time hh:mm | stop-time hh:mm | max-spes num-of-spes| window time-period | expired-window {drop-call | reschedule}}

no spe download maintenance {time hh:mm | stop-time hh:mm | max-spes num-of-spes| window time-period | expired-window {drop-call | reschedule}}

Syntax Description

time hh:mm

Time of the day to start the download maintenance activity. Enter the value in the format of the variable as shown. Default is 03:00 a.m.

stop-time hh:mm

Time of the day to stop the download maintenance activity. Enter the value in the format of the variable as shown.

max-spes num-of-spes

Maximum number of SPEs that can simultaneously be in maintenance. The value is between 1 and 10,000. Default is equal to 20 percent of the maximum number of SPEs in each NextPort DFC.

window time-period

Time window to perform the maintenance activity. The value is between 0 and 360 minutes. Default is 60 minutes.

expired-window

Action to take if SPE maintenance is not completed within the specified window. Default is reschedule.

drop-call

Command History

Release
Modification

12.1(1)XD

This command was introduced on the Cisco AS5400.

12.1(3)T

This command was implemented on the Cisco AS5800.


Usage Guidelines

The SPE download maintenance activity takes place when SPEs are marked for recovery. The settings are enabled by default. When you want to change the default settings to a desired setting, use the spe download maintenance command parameters to perform SPE download maintenance activity with the specific changes.

Enter the time hh:mm keyword to set a time to start the SPE download maintenance activity. Then enter the stop-time hh:mm keyword to set a time to stop the download maintenance. Next enter the max-spes num-of-spes keyword to set the number of SPEs for the download maintenance. Then enter the window time-period keyword to set a time period to perform the download maintenance. Finally, enter the expired-window keyword to set actions in the event the SPE download maintenance is not completed in the set window time-period.

The download maintenance activity starts at the set start time and steps through all the SPEs that need recovery and the SPEs that need a firmware upgrade and starts maintenance on the maximum number of set SPEs for maintenance. The system waits for the window delay time for all the ports on the SPE to become inactive before moving the SPE to the Idle state. Immediately after the SPE moves to Idle state, the system starts to download firmware. If the ports are still in use by the end of window delay time, depending upon the expired-window setting, connections on the SPE ports are shutdown and the firmware is downloaded by choosing the drop-call option, or the firmware download is rescheduled to the next download maintenance time by choosing the reschedule option. This process continues until the number of SPEs under maintenance is below max-spes, or until stop-time (if set), or until all SPEs marked for recovery or upgrade have had their firmware reloaded.

Examples

The following example displays the SPE download maintenance with the different keyword parameters:

spe download maintenance time 03:00
 spe download maintenance stop-time 04:00
 spe download maintenance max-spes 50
 spe download maintenance window 30
 spe download maintenance expired-window reschedule

Modification

12.1(1)XD

This command was introduced on the Cisco AS5400.

12.1(2.3)T1

This command was implemented on the Cisco AS5800.


Usage Guidelines

Failure of an SPE port to connect after repeated tries indicates that a problem exists in the SPE or firmware. An SPE port in this state is recovered by downloading firmware.

When an SPE port fails to connect consecutively for a number of times, as specified by the port-threshold number-failures keyword and argument, the SPE is moved to a state based on the port-action configuration.

If the spe recovery port-action recover command has been configured, when the port-threshold number-failures value is exceeded, the port is temporarily marked as disabled ("d" state) to avoid further incoming calls, and it is then marked for recovery ("r" state). Any SPE that has a port marked for recovery will download firmware when the SPE is idle (when none of the ports on the SPE have active calls).

If the spe recovery port-action disable command has been configured, when the port-threshold number-failures value is exceeded, the port is marked as bad ("BAD" state). An SPE with a port that is marked as bad must be explicitly cleared in order for that port to be used again.

If no port-action is configured, the port will be marked as not in use ("_" state). An SPE with a port marked as not in use will remain unusable until it is explicitly cleared, and the SPE will not accept incoming calls on any of the ports.

SPE recovery can be disabled by issuing the no spe recovery port-action command. If SPE recovery is disabled, the SPE will behave as if no port-action has been configured.


Note Beginning with Cisco IOS Release 12.1(2.3)T1, the modem recovery action for MICA technologies modems on the Cisco AS5800 platforms is done using the spe recovery command rather than the modem recovery command.


Examples

The following example configures the SPE to recover ports that exceed the call failure threshold:

Router(config)# spe recovery port-action recover

The following example sets a value of 50 for the number of consecutive failed attempts on the port before the port-action keyword is applied:

Router(config)# spe recovery port-threshold 50

If the specified line is busy, the script is not executed and an error message appears. If the dialer-string argument is specified, line-number must be entered; it is not optional if you specify a dialer string. This command functions only on physical terminal (TTY) lines. It does not function on virtual terminal (VTY) lines.

The argument regexp is used to specify the name of the modem script that is to be executed. The first script that matches the argument in this command and the dialer map command will be used. For more information about regular expressions, refer to the "Regular Expressions" appendix in this publication.

This command functions only on physical terminal (TTY) lines. It does not function on virtual terminal lines.
