Cisco IOS Release 12.1(19)EB
Catalyst 8510 and LightStream 1010 Switch for Cisco IOS Release 12.1(19)EB
Text Part Number: OL-4672-01 Rev. A0
This document describes the features and caveats for Cisco IOS Release 12.1(19)EB software for the Catalyst 8510 and the LightStream 1010 switch.
![]() |
Note All information pertains to both the Catalyst 8510 and LightStream 1010 switch platforms, unless differences between the platforms are noted in the text. |
Contents
This document includes the following sections:
Introduction
The Catalyst 8510 and LightStream 1010 switch provide switched ATM connections to individual workstations, servers, LAN segments, or other ATM switches and routers using fiber-optic, unshielded twisted-pair (UTP), and coaxial cable.
![]() |
Note The ATM switch processors (hardware version 4.0 or higher) and all port adapters can be installed in the Catalyst 5500 switch chassis. |
The Catalyst 8510 CSR belongs to a class of high-performance Layer 3 switch routers. It is optimized for the campus LAN or the intranet and provides both wirespeed Ethernet routing and switching services.
System Requirements
This section describes the system requirements for Cisco IOS Release 12.0 and includes the following sections:
Memory Requirements
Catalyst 8510 MSR and LightStream 1010
The DRAM memory configuration is 64-MB DRAM (MEM-ASP64M), which is the default for both the Catalyst 8510 and the LightStream 1010 switch platforms.
Catalyst 8510 CSR
Table 1 lists the default Flash and DRAM memory for the Catalyst 8510 CSR, as well as memory upgrade options.
Table 1 Catalyst 8510 CSR Default Memory and Upgrade Options
|
To download and store a copy of the Catalyst 8510 CSR software image, we recommend using a minimum 20 MB Flash PC Card, which will allow you to have two or more images installed at the same time.
The Catalyst 8510 CSR boots from its onboard Flash memory by default. To change this default to boot from a Flash PC Card instead, you must change the configuration register setting to 0x2102. Refer to the Layer 3 Switching Software Feature and Configuration Guide for more information.
Hardware Supported
Table 2 lists the interfaces modules supported by both the Catalyst 8510 MSR and LightStream 1010 switch in Cisco IOS Release 12.1(19)EB and their minimum software release requirements. All platform specific requirements are noted in the table. Table 3 lists this information for the Catalyst 8510 CSR.
![]() |
Note Although minimum software versions are listed, we strongly recommend that you use the latest available software release for all Catalyst 8510 and LightStream 1010 hardware. |

Minimum Software Required

Determining Your Software Release
To determine the version of Cisco IOS software currently running on either the Catalyst 8510 or the LightStream 1010 switch, log in to the switch and enter the show version EXEC command. The following is sample output from the show version command. The version number is indicated on the second line as shown below:
Additional command output lines include more information, such as processor revision numbers, memory amounts, hardware IDs, and partition information.
Other Firmware Code
Some of the port adapters supported on the Catalyst 8510 and LightStream 1010 switch have upgradeable FPGA and functional images. The FPGA and functional images include caveat fixes but, in most cases, it is not necessary to upgrade. The release notes that describe the caveats from the FPGA and functional images are available on the World Wide Web at the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/l3sw/8540/rel_12_0/w5_6f/rel_note/fpga_rn/ind ex.htm
For information describing the firmware update process, refer to the ATM Switch Router Software Configuration Guide.
