Release Notes for the Catalyst 8540 for
Cisco IOS Release 12.0(24)W5(26)


November 4, 2002

Catalyst 8540 Cisco IOS Release 12.0(24)W5(26)

Text Part Number: OL-1530-08 Rev. A0

This document describes the features and caveats for Cisco IOS Release 12.0(24)W5(26) software for the Catalyst 8540 switch router.

Contents

This document includes the following sections:

Introduction

The Catalyst 8540 multiservice switch router (MSR) is a 13-slot, modular chassis featuring dual, fault-tolerant, load-sharing AC or DC power supplies. The ATM switch router provides a 20-Gbps full-duplex nonblocking switch fabric with 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.

The Catalyst 8540 CSR switch router belongs to a class of high-performance Layer 3 switch routers and is optimized for the campus LAN or the intranet. The Catalyst 8540 CSR switch router provides both wirespeed Ethernet routing and switching services.

System Requirements

This section describes the system requirements for Cisco IOS Release 12.0(24)W5(26) and includes the following sections:

Memory Requirements

The DRAM memory configuration is 256 MB, which is the default for the Catalyst 8540.

Minimum Flash Memory Requirements

Cisco IOS Release 12.0(24)W5(26) and later releases require a minimum of 16 MB of contiguous boot Flash memory. The Catalyst 8540 route processor now ships by default with a 16-MB boot Flash SIMM.

Earlier releases of the Catalyst 8540 switch router shipped with an 8-MB boot Flash SIMM. The 8-MB boot Flash SIMM is not large enough to store system images for Cisco IOS software releases 12.0(4a)W5(11a) and later.

To check that your system has a 16-MB boot Flash SIMM, enter the show hardware EXEC command. The part numbers for route processors with a default 16-MB boot Flash SIMM are as follows:

If you have an 8-MB boot Flash SIMM, and have no additional memory installed, we recommend that you order a spare Flash PC card programmed with the latest version of the system image, part number MEM-8540M-FLC20M=.

Alternatively, you can use one of the following options to accommodate the larger image:


Note    If you have a Smart Modular, Sharp, or Intel 2+ Flash PC card that was formatted using a Cisco IOS software release prior to 12.0(4a)W5(11a), reformat it with Cisco IOS Release 12.0(24)W5(26) prior to downloading the image (you might need to boot the image from a TFTP server to format the PC Flash card). Do not erase the system image on the boot Flash SIMM. If the procedure fails, you will need it to recover. (See caveat CSCdm47012 later in these release notes for more information.)

Then do the following:

An example follows:

Switch(config)# config-register 0x2102
EHSA:Syncing confreg: 256 to secondary
Switch(config)# boot system slot0:cat8540m-wp-mz.120-4a.W5.11a
Switch(config)# end
Switch# copy running-config startup-config

An example follows:

Switch(config)# boot system tftp cat8540m-wp-mz.120-4a.W5.11a 172.20.52.3

Note    You can boot only the primary route processor from a TFTP server, not the secondary.


Note   The boot ROM on the Catalyst 8540 can be field-upgraded via the reprogram command. For more information about upgrading the boot ROM, see the ATM  Switch Router Command Reference.

For more information about downloading system images and changing the default boot image, refer to the "File Management" chapter of the Configuration  Fundamentals Configuration Guide in the Cisco IOS software documentation set.

Hardware Supported

Table 1 and Table 2 list the hardware modules supported on the Catalyst 8540 in the Cisco IOS Release 12.0(24)W5(26). They also include the minimum software release requirements for the hardware.

Determining Your Software Release

To determine the version of Cisco IOS software currently running on the Catalyst 8540, log into the switch and use the show version privileged EXEC command. The following sample output is from the show version command. The version number is indicated on the second line as shown below:

Cisco Internetwork Operating System Software
IOS (tm) PNNI Software (cat8540m-WP-M), Version 12.0(24)W5(26)

Additional command output lines include more information, such as processor revision numbers, memory amounts, hardware IDs, and partition information.

Other Firmware Code

Most of the port adapters and interface modules supported on the Catalyst 8540 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/index.htm

For information describing the firmware update process, refer to the section "Maintaining Functional Images (Catalyst 8540)" in the chapter "Managing Configuration Files, System Images, and Functional Images" in the ATM  Switch Router Software Configuration Guide.

Feature Set Tables

The Cisco IOS Release software is packaged in feature sets (also called software images) depending on the platform. Each feature set contains a specific set of Cisco IOS features. Table 3 lists the Cisco IOS software feature sets available for the Catalyst 8540 MSR. Table 4 and Table 5 lists the Cisco IOS software feature sets available for theCatalyst 8540 CSR.
