64 logical interfaces including ports, trunks or virtual trunks on same interface

16 class-of-service queues with independent queues for each ATM class of service

PNNI, MPLS, IISP, ILMI 4.0, UNI 3.x, SVC, and SPVC/SPVP

1M cells of buffering

The following describe each of the new AXSM/B front cards.


Note AXSM/B OC48c/STM16 cards will be supported in a future release.


AXSM-4-622/B

The AXSM-4-622/B is a four-port, OC12c/STM4 front card. The optical back cards for the AXSM-4-622/B provide 2 ports per bay for a total of 4 ports per slot. This card supports the back cards listed in Table 2.

AXSM-16-155/B

The AXSM-16-155/B is an OC3c/STM1 front card that supports both optical and electrical interfaces. The optical back cards for the AXSM-16-155/B provide 8 ports per bay for a total of 16 ports per slot. The electrical interface back card provides 4 ports per bay for a total of 8 ports per slot. The AXSM-16-155/B card supports the back cards listed in Table 2.

AXSM-16-T3E3/B

The AXSM-16-T3E3/B is a 16-port front card that supports T3 and E3 interfaces. The back cards for the AXSM-16-T3E3/B provide 8 ports per bay for a total of 16 ports per slot. This card supports the back cards listed in Table 2.

MMF-8-155-MT/B

The MMF-8-155-MT/B is an 8-port back card for the AXSM-16-155/B front card. Each port on this card uses a Multimode Fiber (MMF) optical interface and an MT connector.

New Software Features in Release 2.1.10

This release supports all the features provided in Release 2.0.x, such as PXM45, AXSM, AXSM redundancy, APS, and PXM1 to PXM45 feeder, and it supports all features provided in 2.1.00. The following sections describe new software features in Release 2.1.10.

Automatic Response to Nativity Check

The nativity check feature is used during PXM45 card insertion and card resets to determine if any PXM45 cards in the chassis have been changed. If a PXM45 has been configured in an MGX 8850 switch, the backplane serial number is stored on the PXM45 front card and on the PXM45 hard disk card. If a PXM45 card is inserted into a chassis or the card is reset with a command such as resetsys, the nativity check is run to determine if the PXM45 cards are native to the chassis. If the chassis serial numbers configured on all PXM45 cards match the switch chassis serial number, the cards are all native and no special action is required.

The purpose of the nativity check is to resolve configuration differences between PXM45 cards. Some configuration is stored on the PXM45 front card, and some information is stored on the PXM45 hard disk card. If one or more cards are replaced, the nativity check identifies which cards are new to the switch chassis. In previous releases, the nativity check feature identified configuration mismatches, but it could not automatically resolve them. The new automatic response feature uses the nativity check results to determine which cards hold the valid configuration so that the switch can properly configure the new cards. This feature can automatically respond to most configuration mismatches, but some mismatches still require a manual response.

The following sections describe how the automatic response feature works for standalone and redundant PXM45 installations, and how to respond when the system cannot automatically resolve conflicts.

Automatic Response for Standalone PXM45 Installations

For standalone installations, the nativity check feature detects and responds to PXM45 cards as shown in Table 4.

Table 4 Automatic Response to Nativity Checks in Standalone Installations 

Event
Nativity Check Results
Response

PXM45 front card and hard disk card have not changed.

Both PXM45 cards are configured with the correct chassis serial number.

No action is required.

PXM45 front card has been replaced with an unconfigured card.

PXM45 front card is not configured and the hard disk card is configured with correct chassis serial number.

The switch builds the PXM45 front card configuration from the configuration on the hard disk.

PXM45 front card has been replaced with a previously configured front card.

PXM45 front card is not configured with the correct chassis serial number. The hard disk card is configured with correct chassis serial number.

The switch rebuilds the PXM45 front card configuration from the configuration on the hard disk.

The hard disk card has been replaced with an unconfigured card.

PXM45 front card is configured with the correct chassis serial number, but the hard disk card is not configured.

The hard disk configuration cannot be completely built from the configuration on the front card. You must manually resolve the configuration conflict as described in "Manually Responding to Nativity Checks," which appears later in these Release Notes.

The hard disk card has been replaced with a previously configured hard disk card.

PXM45 front card is configured with the correct chassis serial number, but the hard disk card is not configured with correct chassis serial number.

The hard disk configuration cannot be completely rebuilt from the configuration on the front card. You must manually resolve the configuration conflict as described in "Manually Responding to Nativity Checks," which appears later in these Release Notes.

PXM45 front card and hard disk card are replaced with unconfigured cards.

No configuration exists on either card.

There is no existing configuration to use. You must configure the switch or restore a saved configuration.

PXM45 front card and hard disk card are replaced with a set that was configured in another switch.

PXM45 front card and hard disk card are configured with matching chassis serial numbers, but the configured serial number does not match the chassis serial number.

The switch uses the configuration on the matched set.

Both PXM45 front card and hard disk card are replaced with cards that were configured in different switches.

The PXM45 front and hard disk cards are configured with chassis serial numbers that do not match each other or the backplane serial number for the switch in which they are installed.

In this scenario, you can clear the configuration stored on the PXM45 cards, restore a configuration from a saved file, or you can use the configuration stored on the hard disk. You must manually resolve the configuration conflict as described in "Manually Responding to Nativity Checks," which appears later in these Release Notes.


Automatic Response for Redundant PXM45 Installations

For redundant PXM45 installations, the nativity check is performed only on the active PXM45 card set. If an active PXM45 card set is operating correctly, you can replace any card in the standby or non-active card set, and the active card set will attempt to configure the replacement card and bring it up in standby mode.

When the entire switch is reset, the nativity check is used to determine which card set gains mastership. The card set that gains mastership will attempt to go active and will resolve nativity conflicts as described in Table 4. Table 5 shows how the nativity check is used to assign mastership to a PXM45 card set.

Stage 1 Command Line Interface

This release provides a stage 1 Command Line Interface (CLI) feature that replaces the shellcon prompt (pxm45>) used in previous releases. In previous releases, the shellcon prompt appeared during switch startup, and if a PXM45 could not complete startup, it would stop at the shellcon prompt, where the available commands used a different structure from those used in the active state.

The new stage 1 CLI feature provides a limited set of commands that are identical to those used in the active state. This makes it easier to troubleshoot problems because there are fewer commands to learn.

The prompt for the stage 1 CLI is:

nodename.7.PXM45.i>

The i character in the prompt indicates that the card is in the initialized state. In this state, the only valid username is user cisco, and the password is ciscoinc. The configured usernames and passwords are not supported until the switch reaches the active state, which is indicated with an a in the prompt.

If you log in during stage 1 and the card progresses to the active or standby state, the card will log out the stage 1 user and prompt you to log in again. At this point, you must log in as a configured user with the corresponding password. The stage 1 username and password are not supported on active and standby cards.

MPLS Interface Policy

The MPLS interface feature allows you to configure the following parameters for MPLS & PNNI partitions on RPM-PR on a per service category basis:

Minimum bandwidth; default value is 0%

Maximum bandwidth; default value is 100% of partition maximum

Minimum number of connections; default value is 0%

Maximum number of connections; default value is 100% of partition maximum

Booking factor; default value is 100%

For example, you can configure the UBR service category on a PNNI partition to have a guaranteed bandwidth of 50% of the partition's maximum bandwidth.

Changed Commands

The following sections describe AXSM CLI commands that have changed in this release.

dspalm

The dspalm command has been modified to display an additional row of alarm information. For example:

APS Alarm State: Major 

The Alarm State will be same as that shown for dsplns. For non-APS lines, the alarm state is "N/A" The rest of the Alarm values shown apply to the 'Active Line'.

dspalms

The display for the dspalms commands is similar dspalm.

dspapsbkplane

This command shows whether the APS connector, which is also called the mini backplane, is plugged in properly. It should be used only when the standby card is in Ready state and APS has been configured for the card pair. When the standby card is re-booting or failed, for example, intercard APS cannot work properly and hence this command will show 'NOT ENGAGED'.

The APS connector status is for the bay specified with the dspapsbkplane command and applies to all lines in that bay. This is because an APS connector is installed in a single bay and enables APS for all lines in that bay. To provide APS to all lines for a slot, APS connectors must be installed in the upper and lower bays.

dspapsln

The dspapsln command needs to be entered with both the working line ID and the protection line ID. The 'Alarm' shown is not an integrated alarm; it is for the LineId that was entered. The 'Alarm' can show the following alarm levels:

SF-L -- Signal fail low

SF-H -- Signal fail high

SD-L -- Signal degrade low

SD-H -- Signal degrade high

PSBF -- Protection Switch Byte Failure

MIS -- Directional mismatch, architecture mismatch, or channel mismatch (Note that although this is a configuration mismatch, APS should still function properly)

OK -- No alarm

The Alarm states shown are independent of the APS line cross status.'


Note During an AXSM card switch over, there might be a brief period during which MIS is reported. This means the APS operation has gone to 1+1 unidirection mode temporarily.


dspapslns

The dspapslns command previously reported two alarm states: OK and ALM. This command now shows the same alarm levels as the updated dspapsln command. The alarms shown are independent of the APS line cross.

dspln

The dspln command displays an 'Alarm' column that shows the integrated alarm status for the APS line pair. It only shows line level alarms. The possible levels are:

Critical -- If active line is in alarm

Major -- If non-active line is in alarm

None -- If both lines are free of line level alarms

N/A -- If there is no APS configuration on this line

dsplns

The dsplns command displays the same alarm status as dspln.

Removed Commands

There are no commands removed from version 2.1.10.

Upgrading to a New Software Release

This section contains installation and upgrade instructions. For complete details, refer to the MGX 8850 Routing Switch Software Configuration Guide that shipped with your system. Also see the "Related Documentation" section of these notes for a list of the new documentation that supports Release 2.1.10.

Changes to the Upgrade Procedure

Before upgrading PXM45, AXSM, or RPM-PR software, disable online diagnostics if they are running (CSCdu27378). After you upgrade the software as described in the MGX 8850 Routing Switch Software Configuration Guide and in the next section, you can turn on the diagnostics.

RPM-PR Upgrades

The section provides instructions on upgrading the following RPM-PR configurations:

1:N redundant configurations

Non-redundant configurations

The procedure for upgrading 1:N redundant configurations is not included in the Cisco MGX 8850 Routing Switch Configuration Guide, Release 2.1.00 and will be added to a future revision. The procedure for upgrading non-redundant RPM-PR cards is in the Cisco MGX 8850 Routing Switch Configuration Guide, Release 2.1.00, but Cisco Systems recommends that you modify this procedure. The following sections describe these recommended procedures.

Upgrading with 1:N Redundancy

The following procedure describes how to upgrade redundant RPM-PR cards.


Note Redundancy must be established before you use this procedure. If redundancy has not been configured between two RPM-PR cards, upgrade each RPM-PR card using the procedure in the next section, "Upgrading Without Redundancy."



Step 1 On the primary RPM-PR card, upgrade the software as described in Appendix A of the Cisco MGX 8850 Routing Switch Configuration Guide, Release 2.1.00.


Tips Be sure to use the copy run start command to save the configuration change.


Step 2 Switch to the secondary card using the softswitch as follows:

mgx8850a.7.PXM.a > softswitch <fromSlot> <toSlot>

This step makes the secondary card active and resets the primary RPM-PR card. When the primary card resets, it loads the upgraded software defined in Step 1.

Step 3 Switch back to the primary card using the softswitch command.

This step makes the upgraded primary card active and resets the secondary card. When the reset is complete, the secondary card is ready to run the upgraded software.

Step 4 If there are other primary cards with redundant (secondary) cards, repeat this procedure for each primary card.


Upgrading Without Redundancy

The upgrade procedure in the Cisco MGX 8850 Routing Switch Configuration Guide, Release 2.1.00 is missing one step, which is the step that configures the RPM-PR card to save the configuration on the PXM45 hard drive as well as in bootflash and NVRAM. While this step is optional, Cisco Systems recommends that you use the following procedure when upgrading non-redundant RPM-PR cards.


Step 1 Configure the RPM-PR card to store its configuration on the PXM45 hard disk by entering the following command:

boot config e:auto_config_slot#

Step 2 Upgrade the RPM-PR software as described in Appendix A of the Cisco MGX 8850 Routing Switch Configuration Guide, Release 2.1.00.


Tips Be sure to use the copy run start command to save the configuration change before you reset the card.



Limitations and Restrictions

The following sections describe the following issues for this release:

General Limitations and Restrictions

APS Management Information

Clearing the Configuration on Redundant PXM45s

Open APS Issues

APS Events to Avoid

Recommendations

General Limitations and Restrictions

The following list describes limitations and restrictions that apply to this release:

The dsperr command currently provides proper information only when it is executed on a PXM45 card. When it is executed on an AXSM card, the displayed information is incorrect.

Controller ID 2 is reserved for a PNNI controller; IDs 3-20 are available for LSC controllers.

Support for 3 controllers only (1 for PNNI and 2 for LSC).

Partition ID 1 is reserved for PNNI.

The maximum number of logical interfaces (physical trunks, virtual trunks, logical ports) supported in this release with PXM45 or PXM45/B cards is 99.

If any AXSM cards remain in the initialized state and the PXM45 standby card is reset, the PXM45 standby card will not transit back to the standby state. This is a DB server limitation.

If the destination address is reachable for both a IISP and a PNNI link from the same node, ABR connections will not route. The current routing algorithm will always choose IISP links over PNNI links because it is local. Since IISP does not support ABR connections, the connection setup will fail.

In this release, a Service Class Template (SCT) can be changed with connections present. However, if the change affects services in use, the connections will be rerouted.

When CWM is use to manage the network, the IP address 10.0.x.x cannot be used as the LAN address (lnPci) for the switch.

RPM-PR and MPLS Limitations and Restrictions

The following list describes RPM-PR and MPLS limitations and restrictions that apply to this release:

A single RPM-PR can only be function as either an Edge LSR or as an LSC, but not as both.

Total of (OC12 minus T3) Mbps intrashelf traffic for Cell bus based modules are supported.

The addred command is not allowed when it specifies an RPM/B card and an RPM-PR card.

To configure redundancy, the primary and secondary RPM-PR cards need to be in the active state and secondary card should not have any configured connections.

Removal of the primary RPM-PR back card does not cause switch over to the secondary RPM-PR.

After establishing redundancy between two RPM-PR cards with the addred command, you must enter the copy run start command on the primary RPM-PR card to save the configuration change.

If a secondary RPM-PR card is redundant to primary cards x and y, you cannot delete redundancy for only card x.

If you need to enter the softswitch and switchcc commands, Cisco Systems recommends that you wait at least 5 seconds after issuing the softswitch command and then enter the switchcc command.

IOS software images on primary and secondary RPM-PR cards do not have to be compatible, but the IOS software on a secondary card should be at the same level as the primary card or higher.

If you would like to add an MPLS partition on a port where other partitions have already been added and the minimum vci value is 32, you have two options:

After the MPLS controller is added, explicitly add the TDP sig vc using a vpi/vci pair within its partition's resource range.

Do a dnport and cnfpart to move the minimum vci to 35 for all partitions on the port.

APS Management Information

The following tips apply to the use of the dspapsbkplane command and the APS connector, which is sometimes called a backplane. The APS connector must be installed to enable intercard APS.

The dspapsbkplane command shows whether the APS connector is plugged in properly. It should be used only when the standby card is in Ready state. When the standby card is booting or fails, intercard APS cannot work properly and this command displays "NOT ENGAGED."

APS must be configured on a line pair before the dspapsbkplane command can display the APS connector status. If APS is not configured on a line, the dspapsbkplane command displays the message "Aps Line Pair does not exist."

The dspapsbkplane command needs to be executed on both the active & standby cards to ensure that APS connector is engaged properly. This command can show different values for each of the two cards, which indicates the APS connector is seated properly on one card but not on the other.

The APS connector status is the same for all lines in a single bay. This is because the APS connector interconnects two back cards within the same bay. To check the APS status for an AXSM card that hosts ports in the upper and lower bays, you must enter the dspapsbkplane command twice, once for a line in each bay.


Caution When using intercard APS, ensure the APS connector is correctly installed. Refer to the "APS Backplane" section in Chapter 4 of the "Cisco MGX 8850 Hardware Installation Guide." This guide is part number 78-10351-04, and can be ordered from Cisco Marketplace or downloaded from http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/wanbu/8850r21/hig/index.htm. After you install the assembly, verify that the APS connector is properly installed by using the new CLI command dspapsbkplane.


Note (CSCdu19732) If there are APS configurations on a card and some lines are disconnected, avoid performing switchredcd, front card removal, or back card removal. Before removing an active front card or back card, which results in a card switch over, switch cards with the switchredcd command.


Open APS Issues


Note The issues in this section are seen only in Operational mode 1+1, bi-directional, Rev/non-Rev. If at least one side is configured as 1+1 unidirectional, these problems do not occur.


The following are some open APS issues in this release:

AXSM switch over when the working line is disconnected (both Tx and Rx) may cause data loss on the lines that have APS configured. Recovery Procedure: If the other end reports alarms on both lines and has Channel Mismatch or PSBF, perform Lock-out of Protection Line and clear on the local end.

AXSM switch over may cause an erroneous APS alarm on one or both lines which may not clear by itself. Recovery Procedure: Perform Lockout of Protection and clear on the far end (the side that does not have the alarm).

If multiple working-lines are removed at the same time, one line may not switch over. Recovery Procedure: Perform Lockout of Protection and clear from the far end.

APS Events to Avoid

When using APS, try to avoid the following:

Removal of front card or back card when there is APS configured.

AXSM switch over when APS is configured and one side of the APS line-pair is disconnected.

If it is impossible to avoid the above, check to see if there are erroneous alarms that will not clear. If there, do the following

1. Perform Lockout of Protection line and clear.

2. 2. If Step 1 does not work, perform delete APS for the line and then add it back.

Clearing the Configuration on Redundant PXM45s

When the nativity check discovers conflicts that cannot be automatically corrected, one option is to issue a clrallcnf command to establish the PXM45 card sets as new, unconfigured cards in the chassis. Unfortunately, there is a bug (CSCdt92422) that prevents this procedure from working on redundant PXM45s. The work around is to remove one set of PXM45 cards, clear the configuration on the installed set, and then install the redundant card set so that the cards are brought up in standby mode.

Recommendations

Cisco Systems provides the following information and recommendations for switch configuration:

The RPM-PR subinterface ID range is 1 - 32767.

We recommend applying the default values for PCR, SCR, and so on to the Control VC. If the values are decreased to a low value, there is a chance that the protocol on the interface (SSCOP or PNNI) will not come up.

Important Notes

This section provides general notes that apply to this release and covers some procedures that are not in the shipping versions of the manuals.

General Notes

The following list provides general notes on using the switch.

You must use the SCT files released with 2.1.00 (number 2 and 3, which are included in version 2.0.13) for the Control VC feature. If you are using the MPLS feature, then you will need to change to SCT 3 or 4, which are released with version 2.1.00.

To remove AXSM redundancy (delred), you must remove the Y-red cables before issuing the delred command.

By default, 900 cps and 543 cps will be reserved for SSCOP and PNNI Signalling VC respectively, even when you disable SSCOP and PNNI. These values are configurable by the cnfpnctlvc command.

Do not execute the delcontroller command when connections/ports still exists. The impact of executing delcontroller with connections is that the connections cannot be recovered until the controller is re-added using addcontroller and the AXSM cards or the entire node has to be reset (otherwise ports remain in the provisioning state). There is now a warning to the user of the impact of the command when there are existing connections/ports.

Analysis of the code has identified a situation which has a low probability of occurring and in fact has not been encountered in any test scenarios to date. This caution and associated workaround is provided as a precautionary measure. When the link bandwidth for SPVC connections is reaching full capacity, thus minimal bandwidth is available for new SPVC connections, there is a condition which can be encountered where the initial software check believes there is sufficient bandwidth for the new SPVC connection; however, the final software confirmation for available bandwidth may be rejected because there is no bandwidth available. If this problem occurs, the system will recover when the PNNI updates are refreshed. (This will happen at the default time of 30 minutes.) The user can recover from this problem by making the Administrative weight of that link very high to avoid that link from being used.

To replace one type of AXSM front card with another type, you must delete all connections, partitions, ports and down lines. If an AXSM card fails, the same type of AXSM card must be installed in its slot.

When the switch cannot automatically resolve nativity check conflicts as described earlier in "Automatic Response to Nativity Check," you can force a configuration rebuild from a specific hard disk by establishing a console port session through the corresponding PXM-UI-S3 card and issuing the shmRecoverIgRbldDisk command. This command ignores the nativity check and configures the entire switch according to the configuration on the hard disk.

PNNI default min VCI is 35 unless changed explicitly. The reason for the default is to reserve VCI=32-34 for other control purposes (e.g., MPLS and NCDP). For users who would like to add MPLS controller in future releases of MGX 8850, it is highly recommend to set the min-vci value to be 35 or more for all partitions on the port where the MPLS partition will be added. By doing so, the TDP sig vc for MPLS will be established automatically on 0/32. MiniVDI is not negotiated by ILMI, so the user should set this parameter same on both nodes.

RPM-PR and MPLS Notes

The following list provides notes on using RPM-PR cards and MPLS in this release:

(CSCdt55154) RPM-PR back card status may be incorrect.

For RPM-PR SPVC dax connections, the slave end must be deleted before the master endpoint.

The following table lists RPM commands that are different in Releases 1.x and 2.x of the Cisco MGX 8850 switch.

RPM-PR auto_config File Management

The RPM-PR auto_config_slot# file stores the configuration for the RPM-PR card. The slot# portion of the name is automatically set to the slot number that corresponds to the RPM-PR card. This file can be stored in bootflash and in the E:RPM directory on the PXM45 hard disk. The configuration is also stored in NVRAM using the name startup-config.

When the RPM-PR card starts or reboots, it searches for the configuration file in the following sequence:

If there is an auto_config file only on the PXM45 hard disk, the RPM-PR card uses the configuration stored on the hard disk.

If there is no auto_config file on the hard disk, then the NVRAM version is used.

If configuration files exist on both the hard drive and bootflash, the switch examines a timestamp tag in each file. If the timestamp tag is the same in both files, the RPM-PR card uses the configuration file stored in bootflash. If the timestamp tag is different, the RPM-PR card uses the configuration file stored on the hard drive.


Note You must configure the RPM-PR card to store the configuration on the hard disk when using 1:N redundancy. If the configuration is not stored on the hard disk, the secondary card cannot load the configuration during switch over.


To configure the RPM-PR card to store its configuration on the PXM45 hard disk, enter a command sequence similar to the following:

RPM-PR_LA_9>enable
Password: 
RPM-PR_LA_9#config terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.
RPM-PR_LA_9(config)#boot config e:auto_config_9
RPM-PR_LA_9(config)#^Z
RPM-PR_LA_9#copy run start
Destination filename [startup-config]? 
Building configuration...
[OK]
RPM-PR_LA_9#

Be sure to use the correct slot number for your RPM-PR card in the boot command, and remember to save the configuration change with the copy run start command.

Using tstdelay on Feeder Trunks

On feeder trunks, cnfoamsegep is required for tstdelay to work. The steps are as follows on PNNI:


Step 1 dpnport <portid>

Step 2 cnfpnportsig <portid> -cntlvc ip

Step 3 cnfoamsegep <portid> no

Step 4 uppnport <portid>


Manually Responding to Nativity Checks

When the nativity check discovers conflicts that cannot be automatically corrected, you can resolve the conflict by doing one of the following:

If you have saved a configuration with the saveallcnf command, you can restore the configuration with the restoreallcnf command.

If there is no configuration available, you can issue a clrallcnf command to establish the PXM45 card sets as new, unconfigured cards in the chassis.

If a configuration exists on a hard drive, you can use that configuration to configure the front card and establish nativity for the card set.

If the switch cannot resolve a nativity check conflict and all the cards are operating properly, the PXM45 cards enter stage 1 CLI mode, which offers a reduced set of commands that you can use to resolve the conflict.

When operating in stage 1 CLI mode, you can FTP files to the switch in preparation for a new configuration or a configuration restore. The procedure for transferring files is that same procedure described in the Cisco MGX 8850 Routing Switch Software Configuration Guide.

To rebuild the configuration from a configured hard disk in the switch, do the following:

Clear the configuration (clrallcnf) on the PXM45 front card using a PXM45 hard disk card for which the configuration can be erased. (Do not use the PXM45 hard disk that hosts the configuration you want to use.)

Install the unconfigured PXM45 front card and the configured PXM45 hard disk card in a chassis without a redundant card set.


Note There is a bug (CSCdt902422) that prevents this procedure from working on redundant PXM45s. For more information and a work around, see "Clearing the Configuration on Redundant PXM45s," which appears earlier in these Release Notes.


The switch will build the PXM45 front card configuration from the configuration on the hard disk.

Documentation Correction—PNNI Feeder Configuration Quickstart

The following quickstart procedure was accidentally omitted from the Cisco MGX 8850 Routing Switch Software Configuration Guide, Chapter 5, "Provisioning AXSM Communication Links." This quickstart procedure provides a summary of the tasks required to configure a connection from an MGX 8850 Release 1 feeder through one or more MGX 8850 Release 2 switches, and to a remote feeder or CPE. This procedure is provided as an overview and as a quick reference for those who have previously configured these types of connections.


Note The trunk configuration is not complete until the MGX 8850 Release 1 feeder is also configured.


 
Command
Purpose

Step 1 

username

<password>

Start a configuration session on the MGX 8850 Release 2 switch. This will be the local routing switch that connects to the feeder.

Note: To perform all the procedures in this quickstart procedure, you must log in as a user with GROUP1 privileges or higher.

Step 2 

 

Prepare AXSM cards and lines as described in the Cisco MGX 8850 Routing Switch Software Configuration Guide, Chapter 3, "Preparing AXSM Cards and Lines for Communication."

Remember to select the appropriate card SCT for the controller or controllers you are using.

Step 3 

addport <options>

Related commands:

dspports

Configure the local routing switch port that leads to the feeder. When configuring the line, select either interface type 1 (UNI) or 2 (NNI). Use the same interface type when defining the port on the feeder.

See "Adding ATM Ports" in the Cisco MGX 8850 Routing Switch Software Configuration Guide, Chapter 5, "Provisioning AXSM Communication Links."

Step 4 

addpart <options>

Related commands:

dspparts

dsppart

cnfpart

Assign trunk resources to the PNNI controller ID, which is 2.

See "Partitioning Port Resources Between Controllers" in the Cisco MGX 8850 Routing Switch Software Configuration Guide, Chapter 5, "Provisioning AXSM Communication Links."

Step 5 

dnpnport <portid>

cnfpnportsig <options>

uppnport <portid>

Related commands:

dsppnports

dsppnport <portid>

dsppnportsig <portid>

Define the signaling protocol used on the trunk. If CWM will be used to manage the feeder, use the cnfpnportsig command to enable IP communications between the switch and the feeder:

pop20two.7.PXM.a > cnfpnportsig <portid> -cntlvc ip

See "Selecting the Port Signaling Protocol" in the Cisco MGX 8850 Routing Switch Software Configuration Guide, Chapter 5, "Provisioning AXSM Communication Links."

Step 6 

addfdr <ifnum>

Related commands:

dspfdr <ifnum>

Define the local routing switch port as a feeder port.

See "Defining a PNNI Feeder Port" in the Cisco MGX 8850 Routing Switch Software Configuration Guide, Chapter 5, "Provisioning AXSM Communication Links."

Step 7 

See the MGX 8850 Release 1 documentation.

At the MGX 8850 Release 1 feeder, use the addcon command to add a connection on the link to the MGX 8850 Release 2 switch.

Step 8 

 

Configure the port on the remote routing switch that terminates calls in the core network. If the remote routing switch port connects to a feeder, repeat Steps 2 and 3 to configure the remote feeder trunk. If the remote routing switch port connects to CPE, configure the port for UNI communications.

Step 9 

cnfoamsegep <portid> no

Define the local routing switch feeder port as a non-OAM segment endpoint. This is required to enable testing with the tstdelay command.

Step 10 

addcon <options>

Related commands:

dspcons

Create an SPVC from the local routing switch feeder port to the remote routing switch termination port.

See "Configuring SPVCs and SPVPs" in the Cisco MGX 8850 Routing Switch Software Configuration Guide, Chapter 5, "Provisioning AXSM Communication Links."

CSCdt81984

Symptom When you do clrallcnf, RPM-PR does not go to active.

Condition When you have both active and standby PXM, and when you do clrallcnf, the RPM-PR does not go to active. Workaround 1: We have to do resetcd after RPM-PR comes up in boot/empty state. Workaround 2: Do clrallcnf only with active PXM45 and no standby PXM45. Workaround 3: Load the RPM-PR image from bootflash instead of getting it from the PXM45 hard drive.

CSCdt82991

Symptom: Active card show in Active-F state.

Condition: Task tLogD declares Non Fatal Major error to SHM.

Workaround: None. Insert a standby PXM45 and the card will take over or reset the active card. Card is still operational in Active-F state.

CSCdt84036

Symptom: None

Condition: The redundancy got deleted and reappeared on RPM-PR cards.

Workaround: None

CSCdt88532

Conditions: Change mode when active line is protection line.

Workaround: Execute a clear instruction after the cnfapsln command.

CSCdt89899

Symptom When you do clrallcnf, RPM-PR does not go to Active.

Condition When you have both active and standby PXM45, and when you do clrallcnf, the RPM-PR does not go to active.

Workaround 1: We have to do resetcd after RPM-PR comes up in boot/empty state. Workaround 2: Do clrallcnf only with active PXM45 and no standby PXM45. Workaround 3: Load the RPM-PR image from bootflash instead of getting it from PXM45 hard drive.

CSCdt96142

Symptom: dsplog shows that SSI has logged some SSI header errors in some 3 tasks. Card seems to be okay or unaffected.

Condition: Unknown

Workaround: None

CSCdu05489

Symptoms: sub-interface operations status cannot be ascertained by CWM application as this information is not made available on PXM45 MIB tables.

Conditions: If a sub-interface changes its operational status, CWM cannot find the new state value unless this MIB object is made available on PXM45 MIB tables. Currently this information is only available on RPM-PR ifTable.

Workaround: None

CSCdu09724

Symptom: Connection commit failure reported on the standby AXSM.

Condition: During bulkSync, if controller performs massive deroute/reroute activity on the active AXSM, the connection request forwarded to Standby may fail.

Workaround: None.

CSCdu11536

Symptom: APS active line gets "Loss of Frm (RED)" message.

Condition: Switch over both BXM and AXSM/B at the same time.

Workaround 1: Switch over BXM first. Wait for previously active card to come to standby state. (Let the switch over complete and wait until both cards are running as a redundant pair, then do AXSM/B switch over.) Workaround 2: Switch over AXSM first, and wait for previously active card to transition to standby state. (Let the switch over complete and wait until both cards are running as a redundant pair, then do the BXM switchover.)

CSCdu14207

Symptom: Major alarm shown in dspcds for standby PXM45 card after card was fixed.

Condition: Card with major alarm was fixed.

Workaround: None

CSCdu15972

Symptom: Critical alarm seen on the other end after reinsertion of back card.

Condition: Removal and reinsertion causes Critical alarm on the other side.

Workaround: None

CSCdu16674

Symptom: After OC48/B back card is removed and inserted, port stays in down state.

Condition: Line and port are upped, local loopback is turned on, back card is physically removed, back card is reinserted. Line is up, local loopback is up, port is operationally down.

Workaround: Delete and re-add local loopback.

CSCdu17696

Symptom: pnport was stuck in 'down in progress' state.

Condition: dnpnport or uppnport was executed on port terminating the other end of the PNNI trunk.

Workaround: switchcc or resetsys may be required to clear this condition, which is that dnpnport or uppnport did not work.

CSCdu18017

Symptom: PXM45 indicates not enough memory in the dynamic pool.

Condition: When loading new images to AXSM.

Workaround: UNKNOWN

CSCdu19301

Symptom: Connection failing after rerouting.

Condition: Ingress CAC failure.

Workaround: None

CSCdu19732

Symptom: switchredcd results in lines switching. In the case of APS, with the working line removed, a switchredcd would cause a far end to switch back to the working line.

Condition: Data loss as a result of switchredcd.

Workaround: Do not remove the lines when switching cards.

CSCdu19989

Support for sub-interface operational status traps is missing.

CSCdu20851

Symptom: Events of type SSI-4-NEXTCHUNKCORR are logged.

Condition: These events are logged when there is a memory corruption. These events indicate the corruption of one or more message buffers. This condition may lead to more severe conditions resulting in a shortage of message buffers or further memory corruption.

Workaround: There is no workaround except resetting the card on which these events are logged against.

CSCdu21738

Symptom: The dspapslns command shows that the active line changes from working to protection constantly.

Condition: This is caused by back card removal done in the fashion explained in this bug. There is, however, no data loss. The display is due to the APS issue although the mux is set correctly

Workaround: Reinsert back card.

CSCdu21778

Symptom:- switchredcd with primary card active or standby and in selector released position causes alarms on all lines.

Condition: Alarms on all lines prevents switchapsln.

Workaround: Lock out of protection on the far end followed by clear command or configuring in 1+1 uni directional mode.

CSCdu22855

Symptom: Back card removal causes both working and protection lines to be stuck in alarms.

Condition: Alarms prevent switchapsln.

Workaround: Lockout of protection followed by clear. Or reinsertion of back card. Also, provisioning one side in 1+1 uni directional should not cause this problem.

CSCdu22880

Symptom: Standby card came up in stable condition and no alarm, but APS kept flagging signal fail on protection channel for 1-2minutes.

Condition: switchredcd from primary to secondary card or reset primary card.

Workaround: Unknown

CSCdu23302

Symptom: When port signalling is ANNI and ILMI autoconf is disabled, dspnilmi (on PXM45) will not show topology information and link status.

Condition: NONE.

Workaround: To get topology information do: dnpnport <port id>, cnfpnportsig <port id>...., and uppnport <port id>. Now, dsppnilmi will show topology information.

CSCdu23840

Symptom: When CLI is configured via cnfcmdabbr to disallow command abbreviation, command abbreviations are still allowed on the AXSM.

Condition: When cnfcmdabbr off is issued, forcing the user to enter the exact CLI command name.

Workaround: None

CSCdu34832

Symptom: Crossbar alarms are not integrated with card alarms.

Condition: Always.

Workaround: None.

CSCdu36152

Symptom: ILMI enabled VT take long time to come up after resetsys.

Condition: The time taken for these ILMI links to come up really depends upon the path VT takes in the ATM cloud.

Workaround: Check if all SVPC connections that make the VTs are in good state end-to-end.

CSCdu45344

Symptom: vsiError 0xc001 and 0x5011 is logged by AXSM.

Condition: resetting the axsm card having pnni port carrying 20K connection is reset.

Workaround: None

CSCdu46065

Symptom: Offline diagnostics failed on an AXSM

Condition: Reset reason was reported to be due to Software Error Reset

Workaround: UNKNOWN

CSCdu46109

Symptom: Offline diag failed on PXM

Condition: Diag indicates real-time clock test failed

Workaround: UNKNOWN

CSCdu50846

Symptom: NILE4 Memory attempt to protected area

Conditions: 40k conns established between two nodes a4b and a4a ; reset 3 axsm card on node A4b, then switchcc

Workaround: None

CSCdu51485

Symptom: Invalid K1 byte received

Condition: APS between two POP2 nodes directly connected via two PNNI trunks, each of which consists of an aps pair

Workaround: None

CSCdu51488

Symptom: Not visibly obvious until user monitors the debug stats on each routed connection. In some cases where the AXSM hosts a large number of persistent endpoints, the stats indicate an increase in the cell discards during periods of deroute and reroutes.

Condition: Usually happens when all the connections are derouted due to trunk failure or some such event.

Workaround: None.

S3 Bugs

CSCds14722

Symptom: There is no way to display Hmm Error counters from the CLI.

Condition: No command available.

Workaround: None

CSCds42187

Workaround: None

CSCds66375

Symptom: dspcd, dspcds, dspbkpl, readid bkpl, recordid bkpl show inaccurate headings.

Condition: Always.

Workaround: None.

CSCds66602

Symptom: Dax VCC connection fails.

Condition: An unrelated VPC partition is deleted.

WorkAround: None

CSCds67426

Symptom: There are two PXM45 nodes configured with AXSM redundancy. The first node has primary and secondary clocks configured. The other node has clocking sources. Both nodes are reset. The first node is up before the second node. The PXM45 resync clocks will get NAK from AXSM card. This will make the clock configuration status display as not configurable:

A4A.7.PXM.a > dspclksrc 
Primary clock type:     generic 
Primary clock source:   6:1.1:1 
Primary clock status:   not configured 
Primary clock reason:   no clock signal 
Secondary clock type:   generic 
Secondary clock source: 6:1.2:2 
Secondary clock status: not configured 
Secondary clock reason: no clock signal 
Active clock: internal clock source 
switchover mode: non-revertive

Condition: Anomaly has only occurred when performing resetsys on two nodes at the same time.

Workaround: Reconfigure the clocks with cnfclksrc commands.

CSCds70494

Symptom: No mechanism to filter flood of HMM error log.

Condition: Too many errors reported to HMM. The only way to stop this is to disable HMM reporting.

Workaround: None

CSCds73435

Symptom: Residual database information causes AXSM card state to be interpreted incorrectly. An AXSM card inserted into this slot with the residual database may not successfully come up.

Condition: Residual database on the disk can be introduced if the active PXM45 card or disk is replaced with an older card or disk that has old data on it.

Workaround: Before replacing an active PXM45 front card or disk, make sure that there is a saved configuration for that node. After replacing the active PXM45 front card or disk, restored the saved configuration. Or to verify if there are residual data on the disk, after the node comes up, perform a list file command (e.g. ll) on the D:/DB2 directory. For every slot that is reserved, there should be a corresponding subdirectory for that reserved slot (e.g. SL7), if there are extra subdirectories for non-reserved slots, these are residual old databases.

CSCds86986

Symptoms: AXSM switchover cause all PNNI links on this AXSM go to attempt status.

Condition: This problem occurred after resetting an AXSM non-redundant card and followed by several (some times up to 10) consecutive AXSM switchovers on redundant AXSM pairs on other slots in the same node.

Workaround: Do not do consecutive AXSM switchovers. If the problem occurs, the periodic resync between PNNI controller and AXSM will recover the failure.

CSCds88784

Symptom: The dspcdalms and dspcds commands show minor and major alarms for AXSM cards. These alarms are for HUMVEE errors that were reported to the CAM, but can not be cleared.

Condition: In versions 2.0(X) and 2.1(X), there is no way to clear individual card alarms. These alarms are maintained as a summary of all minor and major alarms in the system.

Workaround Use the resetcd -f command, in order to clear the alarm summary counters. Note: This command will NOT physically reset the card; only the alarm summary counters will be cleared.

CSCdt04197

Symptom: Service switch does not switch all APS lines.

Condition: APS service switch.

Workaround: Multiple service switches.

CSCdt05372

Symptom: Pop-up messages appeared on CLI.

Condition: Hard disk failure was simulated during fault insertion testing.

Workaround: None

CSCdt13184

Symptom: In bidirectional APS, if the remote end has done a Lockout of Protection, a working line to protection line switch at the local end will fail with "Unknown" reason.

Condition: See above.

Workaround: None.

CSCdt14348

Symptom: Should not have a hard-coded enable password on the standby RPM.

Condition: Only on standby RPM.

Workaround: None.

CSCdt23235

Symptom: Pushing the 2 buttons on the front of the PXM45/B board does not generate a CORE dump when the card resets.

Condition: None.

Workaround: None.

CSCdt28752

Symptom: One SPVC went down.

Condition: When PXM45 switch over took place.

Work Around: resetsys will bring back the SPVC.

CSCdt31059

Symptom: Sub-interface addition without specifying link-type results in anomalies.

Condition: Sub-interface should be added without specifying link-type.

Workaround: While adding sub-interface always specify sub-interface link-type.

CSCdt42337

Symptoms: After issuing switchredcd, debug output appears as follows: "Error in emUpdateLineAlarmState() call for tca alarms, errCode=-1"

Conditions: APS 1+1, AXSM/B.

Workaround: None.

CSCdt48287

Symptom: Traffic loss, since switch plane was enabled while the AXSM humvee port was disabled.

Condition: Use xbarAlarmSet() to manually generate an alarm.

Workaround: None.

CSCdt55955

Symptom: Currently all the Xtag are interfaces are displayed in the format of RPM-PR Slot.Port.

Condition: None

Workaround: None

CSCdt61868

Symptom: RPM in PXM1 is connected as LER to AXSM UNI port. On UNI port whole vpi range 0-255 is assigned for the MPLS partition and a Xtagint is created on LSC which is internal to PXM45. TDP and OSPF comes up fine, LER can see LSC, but ping to each other fails as on LSC headend VC shows in bindwait state.

Condition: None

Workaround: Configure the port as VNNI instead of UNI in AXSM. This is actually the recommended port type when connecting multiple RPM cards in PXM1 to AXSM.

CSCdt63012

Symptom: On switching back from protection line to working line.

Condition: When forced switching from protection line to working line after forced switching from working line to protection line.

Workaround: None

Condition: dspcds shows a major alarm for an AXSM, while dspcdalm executed on the PXM45 and on the AXSM does not show an alarm.

Workaround: None

CSCdt70323

Symptom: Need non-shellconn method of burning PXM45 boot code which also does not require console access to each PXM45.

Condition: 2.0 and 2.1 code.

Workaround: Unknown.

CSCdt72072

Symptom: dspcd on AXSM shows incorrect information intermittently.

Condition: Card was in active-F state.

Workaround: Issue the command again.

CSCdt73278

Symptom: dsplns shows the line as clear but dspalms shows alarms on it.

Condition: Back card is removed, and line is in administrator down state.

Workaround: Doesn't need any. Since the line is down, the errors on the line do not matter.

CSCdt74252

Symptom: None.

Condition: Display of error message on the PXM45 after a switchcc of PXM45 and softswitch on RPM-PR.

Workaround: None

Symptom: RPM-PR card issues port 161 socket error every 60 seconds to console.

Conditions: As soon as SNMP community is configured on the RPM-PR card, this message is emitted on the RPM-PR console window every 60 seconds.

Workaround: None

CSCdt95790

Symptom: A new standby syncs up all the databases with active card.

Condition: None

Workaround: This mechanism expedites this sync-up process by syncing only the DB2 database, unlike regular CSR that does it for all the databases.

CSCdu01259

Symptoms: Command sh switch partition shows wrong information regarding PXM45 Slot and ifType.

Conditions:

Duplicate of CSCdt27105

Symptoms: 1. RPM CPU Utilization might go high. 2. "cc" to RPM might take time. 3. Sub-interface will go up/down. 4. console access to RPM will be slow

Condition: If we add more than 300 PVC, with all OAM Managed. Since all the OAM Cells are Process Switched, having more PVCs with OAM-Managed, will increase no. of cells to be handled in process level, which will degrade the performance.

Workaround: If we need more PVC with OAM Managed, then we have to reduce the OAM Loopback freq. and OAM Retry Freq. If we can make the Loopback Freq. as 60 sec and retry freq as 10 sec, this might solve the problem.

CSCdt61077

Closed, not a problem.

Symptom: 1. You will see drops in Main Interface. 2. Communication between RPM and PXM will be slow, like cc to card will timeout. 3. Console access will be locked.

Condition: When you send traffic to RPM with smaller PDU size, like 64 byte packets.

Work-around: There is a limitation on RPM with respect to the number of packets it can handle per sec. Please read the below release notes. For RPM/B its 150,000 pps For RPM-PR its 350,000 pps So if your Packet size is small, so it fits into one ATM cell, then RPM needs handle 365,566 pps. So if you want to increase usage of bandwidth you have increase the PDU size. This will prevent drops. 1.1.32 Version Software Release Notes Cisco WAN MGX 8850, 8230, and 8250 Software With MGX Release 1.1.32, two Route Processor Modules (RPMs) are supported; the RPM/B and the RPM-PR. The RPM/B is a NPE-150 based router card capable of sustaining 150,000 pps. The RPM-PR is an NPE-400 based router capable of sustaining over 350,000 pps.

Workaround: None

CSCdt53778

Duplicate of CSCdt98357

Symptoms: Lockout command on line X will also cause APS switch to Working on lines Y and Z.

Conditions: AXSM/B APS 1+1. All active lines have APS configured for bidirectional mode. All lines have existing user requests -- the X line has a successful request from W->P, while the Y and Z lines have failed requests from P->W. Once the lockout command is initiated on line X, the Working line becomes the active line (which is correct). However, the two other lines are also affected and go to Working (not correct).

Workaround: None.

CSCdt59893

Unreproducible

Symptom: Sessions on axsm were not being deleted. Type "who" or "users" on the AXSM to see the sessions. Sessions remained even after timeout. Attempt to cc resulted in the error: Err: cliSmEptWrite(): ssiIpcComEpNameResolve("cli.07.0700911B"): failed

Condition: IPC call to lookup an epid was failing, causing code to free sessions to fail.

Workaround: None

CSCdt59932

Duplicate of CSCds46465

Symptom: Runrev for an SM is not prevented even though there were updates to the primary version after loadrev was completed successfully.

Condition: If a Standby PXM rebuilds when upgrade of an SM is in progress and a loadrev is completed followed by a PXM switchover, the new Active PXM (old Standby PXM) wouldn't have kept track of DB updates to primary version. This results in not blocking the runrev when SM's DBs were updated during the upgrades.

Workaround: Avoid PXM switchovers during upgrade of an SM. If there was a PXM switchover and there is a likely chance of SM's DBs were updated after a loadrev is completed, abort the SM's upgrade and restart.

Condition: This is a very rare situation and has been observed twice in the past six months of testing.

Workaround: Down the port and re-up the port.

CSCds64781

Symptom: After delred of RPM redundant cards, the previous secondary RPM card comes up with the same configuration of the primary card which it was covering. If the auto_config_slot file for the secondary is present, this problem is not seen.

Conditions: One must do a wr mem when the secondary RPM was active. auto_config_slot# for secondary wasn't present on PXM45 before an addred.

Workaround: None.

CSCds78530

Symptom: Unable to configure the interface policy to any thing other than default values on legacy ports

Condition: Currently there is no support to reprogram the min guaranteed bw, booking factor etc. on legacy ports. As a result the qbins cannot be programmed to give some guaranteed bandwidth to specific service types like UBR, TAG etc.

Workaround: None

CSCdt11342

Symptom: CLI command (dspcds) in PXM45 will show RPM is in boot state. But in RPM Console we will be able to see RPM is UP and Running.

Condition: This problem happens when you do switchcc for 40 times. So the RPM lifetime is 40 switchovers. After switchcc, RPM cards show up 'Boot/Active' although they are actually 'Active'.

Workaround: Reset the RPM cards when this happen.

Condition: Switchred on the far end

Workaround: None.

CSCdt67969

Symptom: PXM45A resets from init state.

Condition: When resetsys was given on the node.

Workaround: None.

CSCdt70494

Symptom:

1) Dspred shows secondary RPM slot as empty even though Standby - after a switchcc/resetsys/shelf power up.

2) The secondary RPM slots take a long time to come up when the secondary card is coming up after a switchcc or a resetsys/shelf power up.

Conditions: If for any reason the secondary card is trying to come up (following a reset) after a switchcc/resetsys or a shelf power up.

Workaround: None.

Under such scenario, the RPM card takes a long time to come up. And the calculation is that it waits for 3 minutes X the number of RPM cards present in the node before it comes up as standby/Active.
