Release Notes for Cisco WAN MGX 8850 Switch Software Release 2.0.14


Contents


Introduction

These release notes describe the PNNI features, system requirements, upgrade procedures, command Line Interface (CLI) changes, and limitations that apply to Release 2.0.14. These notes also contain Cisco support information. Follow-on releases are planned to add new features, and can be found in the Marketing Road Map.

PNNI Features in Release 2.0.14

Defined by the ATM Forum for ATM networks, PNNI provides a dynamic routing protocol, is responsive to changes in network resource availability, and scales to very large networks.

PNNI includes two categories of protocols. PNNI defines a protocol for distributing topology information between switches and clusters of switches. This information is used to compute paths through the network. PNNI topology and routing are based on a well-known link-state routing technique.

PNNI also defines a second protocol for signaling, that is, message flows used to establish point-to-point connections across the ATM network. This protocol is based on the ATM Forum UNI 4.0 signaling, with mechanisms added to support source routing, crankback, and alternate routing of call setup requests in case of connection setup failure. Whereas the UNI signaling protocol distinguishes between the user and network sides of a connection, PNNI is a symmetrical protocol.

PNNI provides dynamic ATM routing with quality of service (QoS) support as defined by the ATM Forum. PNNI uses link-state and source-state route technology, supports aggregation for private ATM addresses and links between switches, and can scale the network and its performance by means of configuring PNNI peer groups and hierarchical levels. A key feature of the PNNI mechanism is its ability to automatically configure itself in networks in which the address structure reflects the topology.

The functions of the PNNI routing protocol include:

Hello protocol (allows adjacent switches to exchange topology information)

PTSE (PNNI Topology State Elements) database synchronization and management

PTSE flooding

Address summarization and advertisement

Link and nodal aggregation

Pre-computation of routing tables

Quality of Service (QoS) based routing

Multiple Routing Metrics

Discovery of neighbors and link status

Synchronization of topology databases

Load balancing on equal cost paths

Load balancing on parallel links

Load balancing with redundant addresses

Alternate paths

These PNNI features are supported in Release 2.0 of the MGX:

UNI 3.0/3.1

PNNI 1.0 Single Peer Group

ILMI 4.0

Point to point ATM SVCC and SVPC

Support for ABR, CBR, VBR, rt-VBR, and UBR

Alternate call routing (see separate feature description)

On demand call routing (see separate feature description)

Native E.164 and AESA (E.164, ICD, DCC) [formerly NSAP] address format

Enhanced CAC with per service class policy parameter (see separate feature description)

Per class of service overbooking

Congestion control (see separate feature description)

PNNI connection and path trace

OAM fault management

Address filtering (see separate feature description)

Intelligent CAC (see separate feature description)

Call processor redundancy

PNNI networks are highly resilient due to their ability to quickly reroute connections around failed network elements, and to update routes and network topology based upon availability of network resources. Connections will generally route quickly using pre-computed routing tables, but in the case of congestion or during a network failure, on-demand routes will be calculated for connections.

System Requirements

This section describes the hardware supported in this release and the software compatability requirements.

AXSM Cards

The AXSM card is a double-height ATM service module that is compatible with release 2.0 and later PXM45 based versions of the MGX switch. The AXSM card uses the serial line traces on the MGX chassis to access the 45Gbps crosspoint fabric of the PXM45 card and the STRATM48 ASIC technology to accommodate a full duplex throughput of OC48c/STM16.

The AXSM card provides ATM switching and line functionality, and is compatible with the feature set of the BXM card on the BPX, the UXM card on the IGX, and the AUSM card of the MGX 8850 Release 1. Other Cisco ATM platforms and other ATM manufacturers' equipment have proven to be compatible.

Line Interfaces for the AXSM Cards

The AXSM cards supported in this relase can provide the following types of line interfaces:

T3/E3

8 ports per back card, 2 back cards per double height slot

G.703/Accunet Conformance

OC3c/STM1

G.703/GR-253 Conformance

8 optical ports per back card, 2 back cards per double height slot

MMF, SMF intermediate and long reach

4 port Electrical back card

OC12c/STM4

G.703/GR-253 Conformance

2 optical ports per back card, 2 back cards per double height slot

SMF intermediate and long reach

OC48c/STM16

G.703/GR-253 Conformance

Single optical port back card, one back card per double height slot

SMF Short, long and extra-long reach

ATM Layer Information

The AXSM cards supported in this relase provide the following ATM features:

Usage policing supported on all interfaces except OC48c/STM16

T3 interfaces support both PLCP and direct cell mapping

64 Logical interfaces — ports, trunks, or virtual trunks (future)

16 Class of Service queues for each class of service

Supports independent queues for each ATM class of service

Network Management Features

The AXSM cards supported in this relase provide the following network management features:

OAM functionality per ITU-T I.610

Fault management — AIS/RDI at F4 and F5 flow

User selectable continuity checking at connection endpoints

Loopback diagnostics

Automatic alarm generation and propagation for interface failures

The AXSM card offers a complete ATM feature set and allows the MGX 8850 to scale to the core of service provider networks from the T3/E3 edge to the OC48c core. Full line rate is achieved through the use of the serial line traces on the MGX 8850 platform. The entirely standards-based design and connection protocols enable installation into any existing network, as well as building new ATM infrastructures.

PXM45 Cards

The PXM45 card is a 45-Gbps processor switch module. The architecture of the PXM45 card contains the CellBus fabric that is used in the current PXM-1 card, but adds the functionality of a 45-Gbps crosspoint switching capacity. This allows for the use of the serial line broadband cards (AXSM) in the MGX 8850. The PXM45 card provides a Stratum3 central clocking circuit conforming to GR-1244 and G.813 specifications. This is an improvement over the Stratum4-based PXM-1 design.

Reliability, Availability and Serviceability Features

The PXM45 card is designed to operate with another PXM45 card in a redundant configuration. There are two dedicated slots in the MGX 8850 (double height slots 7 and 8) that house the PXM45 card. Highlights of the reliability, availability and serviceability (RAS) features are listed below:

Switchover from active to standby is designed to result in no cell loss with the exception of cells that are physically on the fabric at the time of the swap.

In-band arbitration/grant mechanism ensures that service module failure does not stop traffic flow

Hardware design ensures that if one or both hard disks fail, the cards will still pass traffic with no interruption, although provisioning could be suspended.

MTBF Goal is calculated using a 99.9999% availability model which assumes two PXM45 cards in a system. This was calculated at greater than 100,000 hours.

Upgrading to a New Software Release

This section contains installation and upgrade instructions. For complete details, refer to the MGX 8850 Switch Software Configuration Guide, part 78-12629-01, which describes the installation of software Release 2.0.12 and higher.


Tips Before upgrading, turn off PXM45 online diagnostics. There was a problem (CSCdt46582) where the AXSM card reset during a switchcc. This problem has been fixed with this release, Release 2.0.14.



Note In this release, you can upgrade the boot or runtime software on only one AXSM card at a time. (See CSCdt51884) For example, you cannot start a burnboot command on one AXSM card if the burnboot command is still operating on another AXSM card.


When upgrading your node, upgrade the software in the following order:


Step 1 PXM45 boot software

Step 2 PXM45 runtime software

Step 3 AXSM boot software

Step 4 AXSM runtime software


The following sections describe how to upgrade PXM45 and AXSM cards.

Upgrading PXM45 Boot and Runtime Images from 2.0.12/2.0.13 to 2.0.14

The following procedure is for redundant PXM45 cards.


Step 1 Copy files to the switch.

Step 2 On the standby card, type sh to go to the shellconn.

Step 3 Issue the sysBackupBoot command. This will reboot the standby card

Step 4 Hit return when prompted to do so to stop auto-boot, then issue the command sysPxmRemove().

Step 5 Issue the sysFlashBootBurn <"filename"> command, where filename includes the full path.

sysFlashBootBurn "C:FW/pxm45_002.000.014.000_bt.fw"
- enter "y" to confirm

Step 6 Reset the standby card by issuing the reboot command. Wait until the standby card goes to the Standby/Active state.

Step 7 Enter the switchcc command. When the former active card comes up standby, upgrade its boot code by following steps 2 - 6 above.

Step 8 Use the loadrev command to load the Release 2.0.14 software on the standby card (this command is executed on the active PXM45 card):

loadrev <slot number> <version>

For example: loadrev 7 2.0(14.4)

Step 9 After the standby card comes back up with the new image in the Standby/Active state, use the runrev command to load the Release 2.0.14 software on the active card. This command will bring your original standby card to active state.

runrev <slot number> <version>

For example: runrev 8 2.0(14.4)

Step 10 After the redundant card comes up in the Standby/Active state, issue the command commitrev to commit your node to the current release. Once commitrev is issued, abortrev is no longer valid. Note, you should issue the commitrev before provisioning any more connections.

commitrev <slot number> <version>

For example: commitrev 8 2.0(14.4)


The following procedure is for non-redundant PXM45 cards.


Step 1 Copy files to the switch.

Step 2 On the PXM45 card, type sh to go to the shellconn.

Step 3 Issue the sysBackupBoot command. This will reboot the standby card

Step 4 Hit return when prompted to do so to stop auto-boot, then issue the command sysPxmRemove().

Step 5 Issue the sysFlashBootBurn <"filename"> command, where filename includes the full path.

sysFlashBootBurn "C:FW/pxm45_002.000.014.000_bt.fw"
- enter "y" to confirm

Step 6 Reset the card by issuing the reboot command. Wait until the card goes to the Active state.

Step 7 Use the loadrev, runrev, and commitrev commands to load the Release 2.0.14 software on the card.Once commitrev is issued, abortrev is no longer valid. Note, you should issue the commitrev before provisioning any more connections

loadrev 7 2.0(14.4)
runrev 7 2.0(14.4) 
commitrev 7 2.0(14.4)

Upgrading AXSM Boot and Runtime Images from 2.0.12/2.0.13 to 2.0.14

The following procedure is for redundant AXSM cards.


Step 1 Copy files to the switch.

Step 2 To upgrade the AXSM boot code, issue the burnboot command. For example:

burnboot <AXSM slot> 2.0(14)

Step 3 To upgrade redundant AXSM cards with the new runtime image, issue the loadrev command for the standby card.

loadrev <slot number> <version>

For example: loadrev <AXSM slot> 2.0(14.4)

Step 4 After the standby AXSM card comes back up in standby mode, issue the runrev command for the active card

runrev <slot number> <version>

For example: runrev <AXSM slot> 2.0(14.4)

Step 5 After the AXSM card comes back up in standby mode, issue the commitrev command for the AXSM cards.

For example: commitrev <AXSM slot> 2.0(14.4)

Repeat these steps for all redundant AXSM cards.


The following procedure is for non-redundant AXSM cards.


Step 1 Copy files to the switch.


Step 2 To upgrade the AXSM boot code, issue the burnboot command. For example:

burnboot <AXSM slot> 2.0(14)

Step 3 To upgrade non-redundant AXSM cards with the new runtime image, issue the loadrev, runrev and commitrev commands for each AXSM card.

For example:

loadrev <AXSM slot> 2.0(14.4)
runrev <AXSM slot> 2.0(14.4) 
commitrev <AXSM slot> 2.0(14.4)

Repeat these steps for all non-redundant AXSM cards.


New and Changed Information

This section describes new and changed commands in release 2.0.14.

New CLI Commands

The following new CLI commands have been added to 2.0.14:

dsppathtracenode, which displays the configuration created with pathtracenode

dsppathtraceport, which displays the configuration created with pathtraceport

dsppathtraceie, which displays the configuration created with pathtraceie

Changed CLI Commands

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

addcon

The addcon error message that appears when provisioning an SPVC to use a previously configured (duplicate) vpi and vci has been changed from "ERROR: No Such Connection endpoint present" to "ERROR: Specified vpi/vci not available."

clrxbaralms

The clrxbaralms command has been removed. It is a duplicate of clrxbaralm.

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.

dspapsln

The dspapsln command needs to be entered with both the WLineID and the PLineId. The 'Alarm' shown is not an integrated alarm but is for the LineId that was entered. The 'Alarm' will now show the following are the 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, Architure mismatch, or Channel mismatch (Note that although this is configuration mismatch. APS should still function properly)

OK : No Alarm

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


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 ths same alarm status as dspln.

dspxbaralms

The dspxbaralms command has been removed. It is a duplicate of dspxbaralm.

saveallcnf

The saveallcnf command response has changed to the following:

Unknown.7.PXM.a > saveallcnf -v
The 'saveallcnf' command can be time-consuming. The shelf 
must not provision new circuits while this command is running.
Do not run this command unless the shelf configuration is stable 
or you risk corrupting the saved configuration file.
ATTENTION PLEASE NOTE: 
The save command will only store the 
2 most recent saved files in C:/CNF directory. 
If you have 2 or more files already saved in C:/CNF, 
the older ones will be deleted by the current save, 
keeping the 2 most recent.
saveallcnf: Do you want to proceed (Yes/No)? y

New Features in Release 2.0.14

There are no new features in this release.

Obsoleted Features in Release 2.0.14:

No features are obsoleted in this release.

Installation Notes and Cautions

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

(CSCdt05425) If the active AXSM has some non-default interface policy configured, then the standby card might not be in sync with the active card. This will also affect the upgrade of the cards to the new version. The user will have to follow the procedure for a non-graceful upgrade for the new version.

If the default interface policy is being used, then the redundancy/graceful upgrade is possible.

The redundancy/upgrade will also work if the interface policy is configured for 3 or fewer ports (as the interface policy for 4 or more ports does not get synced to standby).

Note that AXSM Redundancy works after the customer has upgraded to 2.0.12. The AXSM Redundancy problem only exists in versions 2.010 and 2.0.11.

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

On feeder trunks, tstdelay works only when the OAM cells are disabled on the segment endpoints. To disable OAM cells, use the following procedure:


Step 1 dpnport <portid>

Step 2 cnfpnportsig <portid> -cntlvc ip

Step 3 cnfoamsegep <portid> no

Step 4 uppnport <portid>


(CSCdt09949) Currently the CLI command addchanloop does not store the connection loop state as persistent data. As a result, this loop (ingress and egress) state of a connection will be lost after the following operations:

resetcd

resetsys

dncon followed by upcon

controller resync (dnport followed by upport)

switchredcd

reroute (dnport)

PNNI default minimum VCI is 35 unless changed explicitly. The reason for the default is to reserve VCI=32-34 for other control purposes such as MPLS and NCDP. For users who would like to add an MPLS controller in future releases of the Cisco MGX 8850 switch, it is highly recommend to set the minimum 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 signaling VC for MPLS will be established automatically on 0/32.

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

The database stores the backplane serial number and back card serial numbers. Therefore if cards are moved from one node to another, the console will display "SHM Alert!! Alert!!." In this situation follow these steps:


Step 1 Enter shmFailDisplay. A display table will show that BRAM is not native.

Step 2 Enter shmFailRecoveryHelp. This will indicate that to "Ignore Nativity and Rebuild from Disk" the command to use is shmRecoverIgRblDisk.

Step 3 Enter shmRecoverIgRbldDisk.


Do not execute delcontroller when connections or ports still exist. If you do enter delcontroller and later want to recover the connections, you must re-added the controller using addcontroller and reset the AXSM cards or the entire node (otherwise ports remain in provisioning state). There is now a warning about the impact of the command when there are existing connections or ports.

(CSCds70478) Currently, Humvee error reporting is turned off for the AXSM cards. They are however logged.

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 reduce the usage of that link.

To replace one type of AXSM front card with another type, all connections, partitions, and ports must be deleted, and all lines must be brought down. If an AXSM card fails, the same type of AXSM card must be installed in that slot so that communications can be resumed or so that the configuration can be changed to prepare for a new card type.

Limitations and Restrictions

The following are known limitations or restrictions for this release:

The maximum number of logical interfaces (physical trunks, virtual trunks, logical ports) supported in Release 2.0 baseline (2.0.10-2.0.14) with PXM45 and PXM45/B is 99.

In future releases of MGX 8850 with PXM45/B, the maximum number of logical interfaces supported will be 3199. The PXM45 module will always support a maximum of 99 logical interfaces.

The maximum number of signalling interfaces in Release 2.0 and future releases of MGX 8850 is 99. Signalling interfaces are those running a protocol such as PNNI, IISP, AINI or supporting SVC/SVP.

Interfaces on standby or redundant cards are not counted.

APS working line must be 1 line lower than the protection line. For example, 1 is the working link and 2 is the protection line. Having 1 as the protection and 2 as the working line is not allowed.

If the destination address is reachable through both IISP and PNNI links on 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.

A port or card SCT can be changed while connections are present in this release. However, if the SCT change affects active connections, those connections will be rerouted.

(CSCds41609) Connection statistics at CLI and Bucket level is not available in AXSM-1-2488 cards. However, connection debug statistics are available in all types of cards.

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.

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.

(CSCdr15911) Changing or reseating an AXSM OC48 back card several times may sometimes cause the front card to reset and interrupt service. The PhyTask also gets suspended. To avoid this problem, try not to reseat the back card too often. If the front card does not start when the switch power is turned on, try to reseat the front and back card to bring up the system.

Important Notes

The following sections provide additional information on BITS clock source configuration, APS operation in this release, and recommendations for setting the control VC parameters.

BITS Clock Source Configuration

The Cisco MGX 8850 Software Configuration Guide incorrectly lists four port numbers for the two BITS clock ports on the back of the PXM-UI-S3 card. During configuration (using the cnfclksrc command), the correct port number to use for the upper clock port is 35. The correct port number for the lower clock port is 36.

APS Management Information

The following tips apply to the use of the dspapsbkplane command and the APS connector which is sometimes call a back plane. 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 ccommand 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/mgx8850/20x/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.


Recommendations

Cisco Systems recommends you apply the default values for PCR, SCR, etc. to the Control VC. If the values are decreased to a low value, there is a chance that the control VC (SSCOP or PNNI) will not come up. Note that you must use the SCT files released with 2.0.11 (number 2 and 3, which are included in the 2.0.14 release) for the control VC feature.

Documentation Correction — Feeder Configuration

In the Cisco MGX 8850 Software Configuration Guide, Chapter 4, Step 2 in the Feeder Configuration Quickstart incorrectly states that an IP address must be entered with the cnfpnportsig command to support CWM management. The correct syntax for the command is:

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

The ip component of the command should be entered as shown above. Do not replace this component with an IP address.

Symptom:

Trunk port counters resetting while channel counters overflowing.

Condition:

It seems that the "Arrival of CLP0 Cells" counters of the channel count are saturating at 32-bit level and giving that reading. But the trunk port counters may be resetting at some point which explains why the trunk port numbers are less than the channel counter numbers.

Workaround:

UNKNOWN

CSCdt38630

Symptom:

Configure an intercard APS with the working line index on the active card and the protection line index on the standby card. Let us have the working line as the active line to begin with. Now perform a switchapsln so that the protection line is active. At this point, the active card is working off the protection line (which is physically connected to the standby's back card) and vice versa. Now, pull out the working line (which is the line going to the back card of the active AXSM). Notice that the standby AXSM's LED goes RED. This is because the standby card is "tuned" to the working line. However, this is confusing to the user because it gives a false impression that the line connected to the standby AXSM has failed.

Condition:

As explained above.

Workaround:

The user needs to be aware that in an intercard APS case where the active AXSM is working off a line which is physically connected to the standby's back card and vice versa, the LED reports may be misleading.

CSCdu21576

Symptom:

Under some conditions (during rebuild of the node or card), some of the provisioned connections do not get programmed on the AXSM (possibly because of a problem with the PNNI controller). This would cause a traffic outage on the AXSMs. However, this condition should have been detected at the AXSM and the dspcons should declare "mismatch" on those connections. This functionality was broken under some circumstances. This bug fix is meant to address this problem

Condition:

Happens usually during a node or card rebuild.

Workaround:

None.

This is a test on special card with a DIP switch and cannot happen on the field.

CSCds17719

Symptom:

No access to node via LAN.

Conditions:

LAN port has hardware failure. Driver does not detect and request processor switchover.

Workaround:

None. Could use IP connectivity interface for management as the primary. If not, a manual switchover or rebuild is required.

CSCds27446

Symptoms:

When performing SPVC reroute and switchover on the UNI (master side) at the same time, connection delete may fail on the standby. After switchover, if the same connection is recommitted, VSIErr will be observed on the AXSM console.

Conditions:

(1) In a three-node (NODE_EP1, NODE_VIA, NODE_EP2) network, nodes are connected linearly (e.g., two trunks connecting NODE_EP1 and NODE_VIA, three trunks connecting NODE_VIA and NODE_EP2).

(2) A connection is established from NODE_EP1 to NODE_EP2.

(3) dnpnport on one of the NNI on NODE_VIA.

(4) switchredcd on the UNI (master side of the connection) on NODE_EP1.

(5) When everything is rerouted, perform a switchredcd on the same UNI. Sometime later, some VsiErr are observed on the AXSM console.

Workaround:

Do not perform switchover while rerouting or derouting connections.

CSCds67426

Symptoms:

Two PXM45 nodes. One end has primary and secondary clock configured (first node) and the other end clocking sources (second node) have been reseated. The first node is up before the second node. The PXM45 resync clocks will get NAK from AXSM card. This will cause clock configuration status to be "not configured."

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

Conditions:

Anomaly has only occurred after performing resetsys on two nodes at the same time.

Workaround:

Reconfigure the clocks with cnfclksrc commands.

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 hard disk is replaced with an older card or hard disk that has old data on it.

Workaround:

Before replacing an active PXM45 front card or hard 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.

To determine if there is residual data on a PXM45 hard disk, after the node comes up, perform a list file command (for example, 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 slot, these are for residual databases.

CSCds80479

Symptom:

Condition:

When the maxcost of the connection is changed.

Workaround:

When connection is initially added, don't specify maxcost value. The default is -1, which translates to 0xFFFFFFFF. If it is changed, it will be bound to the range of 0 to 2147483647. The only way to have maxcost set to 0xFFFFFFFF is to delete and re-add the connection with default value.

Symptom:

dsperr on non-PXM45 slot provide incorrect information.

Condition:

dsperr currently provides proper information only when it is executed on PXM45 slot. When it is executed on the AXSM slot, the information seems incorrect.

Work around:

None.

Additional Information:

The information is actually correct. CA/TAC needs to do the following to read the dsperr information:

1. FTP the error log file to a UNIX workstation as explained below:

For an error with E:xxxXX number on slot Y, FTP the file:

C:/LOG/slotY/errorXX.log (XX are the last 2 digits of E:xxxXX number, and Y should be preceded by 0 if Y is single digit). For example, FTP "C:/LOG/slot07/error94.log" if you are interested in say, error 23394 on slot 7.

2. Use "dsperr2" tool on the UNIX workstation to display the error.

If the binary image running on the shelf is say, pxm45_002.001.050.000-D_mgx, use the command:

dsperr2 error94.log pxm45_002.001.050.000-D_mgx

to display the correct trace information.

Symptom:

According to one of the customers, the following objects are not being utilized in the ATM virtual interface MIB:

caviStatEgressEntry and caviStatIngressEntry.

Condition:

The port level statistics can only come from the QE, and the QE does not collect OAM, RM and EFCI detail. Some of them may be configured to have valid values, however it would be limited to debug statistics that have a limited number of ports and connections that may be enabled at one time. So, the answer is that those objects that are hardcoded to 0, should be unsupported.

Following objects are unsupported instead of value of 0:

CSCdu07891

Symptom:

Locally switched connections take in-ordinate amount of time to come up after software upgrade from 2.0(10.2) to 2.0(13.2).

Condition:

Locally switched connections still show "fail" after all routed connections have rerouted up to 30 minutes after upgrade following this procedure.

MGX-PXM45 running 2.0(10.2) is upgraded directly to 2.0(13.2) with the following procedure:

1)On stby PXM45, sh, sysBackUpBoot, sysFlashBootBurn "C:/FW/pxm45_002.000.013.000_bt.fw" and reboot (standby now running on 2.0(13) boot and 2.0(10.2) FW).

CSCdt40350

Sympton:

On a AXSM bring up, the corresponding PNNI ports may show "provisioning."

Condition:

When AXSM comes up, the VSIS may not be able to have the ports added properly if the fault management task comes up before CEMA. This would cause the VSIS not reporting those ports to the PNNI controller.

WorkAround:

None

CSCdt40561

Symptom:

The port on which SPVCs were provisioned ran out of bandwidth during a card rebuild scenario. It is unclear at this point as to why this happened. It has something to do with the non-default booking factor provisioned on the controller. After resetting the card, the problem did not reappear.

Condition:

This problem was observed when upgrading the AXSM from 2.0(11.3) to 2.0(12.0).

Workaround:

Reboot both the active and standby AXSM to force a rebuild. In case of a non-redundant configuration, reboot the non-redundant AXSM.

S2 Bugs

 

CSCdp48234

Symptom:

When a user polls the switch using CWM, 'cwspOperUniType' returns 'zero', this value is not part of the enum defined for this MIB variable.

Condition:

When 'clock only' ports are added to the controller, these ports are displayed as part of dsppnports command. The sub-agent also returns these ports to a user polling the switch. Since these ports are not 'pnports', the values of the variables associated with these ports are not correct.

Workaround:

There is no work around for this right now.

CSCdr15911

Symptom:

Changing the back card may sometimes cause the front card to reset and cause loss of service. It may occasionally be difficult to bring up the AXSM card.

Conditions:

This problem happens occasionally when someone reseats the back card several times, the front card is reset.

It is also observed that during power on/off testing, sometimes the PhyTask got suspended.

Workaround:

Try not to reseat the back card too often. If the front card gets stuck during the power-on, try to reseat the front and back card to bring up the system.

Condition:

If frame discard is requested on the VBR3 or UBR2 SPVC connections (via addcon/cnfcon), then these connections fail to route.

Workaround:

Do not program frame discard on pep (addcon/cnfcon with frame discard disable).

CSCdt37525

Symptom:

cli command dnpnport/uppnport of nni port timeout. pnRedman was busy sending to standby while the standby is in failed status showing in dspcds. syncRam shouldn't allow application (pnRedman) to send to standby when standby is in failed status.

Condition:

Condition:

At the cli prompt type the command

Workaround:

None

CSCdt41415

Symptom:

The port stays in AutoConfig.

Condition:

Somehow the Qe48 hardware get stuck and ILMI (or any other app using Qe48_sar) cannot send PDUs. reasons could as follows: There were some known issue (before metal fix) in Qe48sar that if a Cell is there for extraction, the software has to extract the cell first and then do any other thing as hardware statem/c will be stuck till then.in the present images cell_extraction is done on ISR. this can mean that HW failed to raise a ISR when cell came in or software got the ISR but failed to clear the cell injection.

Workaround:

first we need to confirm that its same problem. we can find out by using "dspilmicnt " on cli and qe48sarStatsShow on shell. 1)run qe48sar_cell_extract_from_hw on the shell. 2)reset the card

CSCdt41939

Symptom:

Connections as displayed by CWM are incomplete. Modifications on the connections don't show up on the CWM GUI. Connections exist on the switch and don't show up in CWM.

Conditions:

This can happen when there is a high volume of traps, for example when a script is being run to delete a large volume of connections.

Workaround:

A configuration upload could be done to correctly synch the CWM with the switch after the script has finished.

Another work around is, if a user need to add/delete more than 1000 connections at one time, he/she should pace the SPVC connections add/delete rate to avoid trap overflow. The recommanded rate is 1 connection/sec.

Further Problem Description:

When there is a high volume of traps, especially on an SES node, traps can be silently discarded by the switch after a burst of about 1000 traps has been generated on a given card.

CSCdt74986

Symptom:

Added two DAX SPVCs thru CLI, slot 1 interface 1 & 3. Line 1 has local loop and Addtech testset is Connected on line 3. Line 1 & 3 do not have any alarms but SPVCs are showing E-AisRdi alms. One shows alarm on interface 1 & the other on interface 3. Addtech is not Transmitting any data on line 3.

Conditions:

The dax connection is: 1.3.97.97 to 1.1.97.97. The reason that 1.1.97.97 is in E-AIS/RDI alarm is because 1.3.97.97 is incorrectly generating seg AIS towards the ingress direction. Currently, we suspect that the AXSM made the decision to generate AIS because the use of un-initialized information in the database.

Workaround:

None

CSCdt75047

To display the log in the ShellConn prompt, type: sysEventDisplay ""

Conditions:

On a node powerup or node reset scenario, the active PXM45 failed to read its NOVRAM.

Workaround:

If both PXM45 cards are inserted, remove one of them, and reset the other card, try to see if this card will come up. If not, try the same procedure on the other card. If both attempts failed, try swapping the 2 cards and repeat the above procedure. Also, check to make sure that all front and back cards in the shelf are seated securely.

CSCdt04929

Symptom:

Number of channels allowed on 'copychan' command should be limited to 20 channels. The system does not give error message when more than 20 channels are entered.

Condition:

Currently, copychan command allows user to enter a large number of channels to be copied at one time. This may cause some side effect such as ethernet interface hangs if SNMP trap manager is enabled. Another side effect is that not all channels are saved on the disk.

Workaround:

Do not copy more than 20 channels at a time.

Symptom:

There are a couple of symptoms can be resulted from this ddts: a) Setting MIB variables cwaChanMaxCost, cwaChanCDV, cwaChanCTD, cwaChanRemoteCDV, cwaChanRemoteCTD on a slave endpoint fails. b) CWM sync up will fail because of these set failures.

Condition:

The failure happens when users try to set above MIB variables on a slave endpoint. These variables should only be set on a master endpoint.

Workaround:

When setting these MIB variables or using corresponding CLI command "addcon", the user should always follow these rules: a) from SNMP, cwaChanCDV and cwaChanRemoteCDV should always be set to the same value. b) from SNMP, cwaChanCTD and cwaChanRemoteCTD should always be set to the same value. c) from CLI, the parameters 'lcdv' and 'rcdv' of the 'addcon' command should always be set to the same value. d) from CLI, the parameters 'lctd' and 'rctd' of the 'addcon' command should always be set to the same value. e) do not set above variables on a slave endpoint either from CLI or SNMP.

Unknown.

CSCdt62511

Symptoms:

PXM45 shows a major clock alarm when running on internal clock.

Condition:

Delete the primary BITS clock with a major alarm, the alarm does not go away though the node is now running on internal clock.

Workaround:

Go to shellcon and enter command: clkmgrAlarmClear (0x29004)

CSCdt69477

Symptom:

Access levels to be changed as appropriate for the listed commands.

Condition:

Access levels can be realized by logging in with different login levels. Depending on the Access Levels, the applicable commands will be visible.

Workaround:

None.

CSCdt75339

Symptom:

Release-complete cause code gives wrong cause value when the number of crankbacks hits the max_crankback limit.

Conditions:

total releases processed is max_crankbacks +1 but we only check for max_crankback number of crankbacks.

Workaround:

Unknown

CSCdt78905

Description : VSI Master AVL Tree of interfaces does not match that maintained by Interface Manager.

Symptom:

Congestion Manager (CCM) logs error during congestion detection and abatement.

Workaround:

None.

CSCdt79048

Symptom:

T310 timer range is not correct for PNNI1.0 signalling using cnfsig.

Condition:

User cannot configure T310 timer per Q.2931 specified range.

Workaround:

None

CSCdt79632

Symptom:

Dsplog displays unreadable working line index.

Condition:

PSB Irrelevant event occurred

Workaround:

None

CSCdt80847

Symptom:

Results from vsiCksmBlkCmp command is seen on Stdby instead of active.

Condition:

When vsiCksmBlkCmp command is issued on the active, the result is shown only on the standby, which is annoying.

Workaround:

Open a window for both active and standby. Issue the command on active and observe the result on standby.

CSCdt89348

Symptom:

dspapslns and dspapsln shows ALM or OK. It would be useful for the user if it is displays more granular level i.e SF-L, SF-H etc..

Condition:

None.

Workaround:

None.

CSCdt89848

Symptom:

Irrelevant error message pops up when a APS line is added.

Condition:

On AXSM CLI, add a APS line. A error message pops up.

Workaround:

None.

CSCdu06112

Symptom:

delapsln is executed and the command fails due to some reason. APS tries to log the trace but the logging causes the 'Tlb Exception'

Condition:

unknown

Workaround:

None.

CSCdu23970

Symptom:

When dspapsbkplane is executed on the standby card it shows an error: "Standby card is Not Ready."

Condition: Always

Workaround:

Try executing the command in Active card only. If the ACtive card shows the backplane state as "ENGAGED", then theer is a high probability that the backplane is ENGAGED.

Problems Fixed in Release 2.0.13

The following is the list of known problems that are fixed in Release 2.0.13. Included with each is a brief discussion of the problem. A more in depth discussion is available in the release note enclosure of the problem record in Bug Navigator.

Bug ID
Description
S2 Bugs
 

CSCdt02690

Symptom:

Start sync, End Sync and APS Line Pair Sync with standby in progress popup messages appear at the cli prompt on a telnet session.

Condition:

When switchredcd command is executed

Workaround:

None

CSCdt09459

Symptom:

Unable to 'cc' to active AXSM card.

Condition:

When user enters 'cc' command to initiate session to an active standby card, the following error occurs:

Err: Unable to contact process in specified slot

It is noticed that there are some minor HW alarm on the Humvee device with this problem occurs. This problem occurs once during testing.

Workaround:

None. AXSM card must be reset in order to recover from this failure.

CSCdt20186

Symptom:

Connection cannot be set up.

Condition:

When a Generic Identifier Transport IE of an invalid length (more than 33 bytes including the IE header) is received, the whole message is discarded. Therefore, connection cannot be set up.

Workaround:

Avoid sending Generic Identifier Transport IE of invalid length.

CSCdt30096

Symptom:

SPVCs were stuck in mismatch condition.

Condition:

Associated pnport was stuck in provisioning state

Workaround:

UNKNOWN

S3 Bugs

 

CSCds90459

Symptom:

Event log has error messages like the following:

05-00017 12/12/2000-17:20:11 SSI-4-TMRCANCELINV E:05246 APSTask 0x80152bbc

SSI Timeout event not found in ssiTaskTimeoutCancel. TmoFunc=0x8027aee8, key=5.

Condition:

Happens when APS is configured.

Workaround:

None.

CSCdt08530

Symptom:

Attempt to add 1:1 apsline between wrong ports doesn't give cause of failure.

Condition:

Normal

Workaround:

N/A

CSCdt32121

Symptom:

Presence of APS mini-backplane installed in MGX node cannot be found with runtime CLI.

Condition:

Customer cannot find APS mini-backplane by execution of CLI commands. MGX switch must be physically inspected to determine presence of mini-backplane.

Workaround:

This in an enhancement.


Problems Fixed in Release 2.0.12

The following is the list of known problems that are fixed in Release 2.0.12. Included with each is a brief discussion of the problem. A more in depth discussion is available in the release note enclosure of the problem record in Bug Navigator.

Bug ID
Description
S1 Bugs
 

CSCds46636

Symptom:

When a large number of connections get into alarm (like AIS) there is flood of activity on the cPro task, which also happens to handle the provisioning activity. When there is a simultaneous provisioning activity going on in the card, the task stalls because of a deadlock over resources. This is a very rare occurrence, but when this happens all conn. related CLI hangs.

Solution:

The provisioning activity is separated from the alarm handling activity using two different tasks.

Workaround:

None

Frequency:

One time occurrence.

CSCds55470

Symptom:

PXM45 crashes after booting. Normally it is attributed to the telnet daemon task.

Conditions:

LAN boot IP address has not been configured.

Workaround:

From console, stop PXM45 in image startup at the prompt: Press [Enter] to skip initialization...

Execute following commands:

bootChange (setup inet address for lan) sysCardInit (bring the reset of image up)

Once card is completely up, from cli re-execute bootChange command.

CSCds64523

Symptoms:

After adding a port and a partition on the AXSM card, the pnport status shows "building vc" instead of "up".

Conditions:

(1) On AXSM card, perform addport and addpart.

(2) On PXM, perform dsppnport, and the pnport status for the newly added port shows "building vc" forever because the control vc committing fails on the AXSM card.

Workaround:

None.

CSCds65556

Symptoms:

The controller was out of memory and restarted.

Conditions:

Seems a rare scenario caused probably due to links repeatedly going up and down resulting in deroute plus reroute of 50000 SPVCs.

Workaround:

None.

CSCds73043

Symptom:

Task suspends during its sync process.

Condition:

Sending a single buffer to peer under ipcMblk resource constrain might cause an exception since syncRam tries to access the memory which is taken by other task already.

Workaround:

None

CSCds84187

Symptom:

After loadrev standby PXM45 keeps resetting

Conditions:

1. forced download was ON or standby PXM45 did not have correct image file

and

2. running an old boot code that does not have a fix for CSCds85557

Workaround:

abortrev to bring up standby to old release. Make sure forced download is OFF

CSCds85557

Symptoms:

Standby card continuously reset.

Condition:

When operator replaces the standby card with a PXM45 which has some upgrade configuration.

Workaround:

Execute "sysClrallcnf" on standby PXM45 only.

CSCds90529

Symptom:

SSCOP links go to Release/Reset state causing all the connections to be rerouted/derouted or stay in fail state.

Condition:

SSCOP and PNNI links could be reset or released due to errors while re synchronization is happening. The connections are being removed from the Service Module (AXSM) causing SSCOP and PNNI failures.

Workaround:

Downing the port and upping the port again may resolve this problem.

CSCds92652

Symptom:

Active AXSM card of a redundant AXSM pair got stuck in Init state after abortrev

Condition:

The other AXSM card of the pair failed to come up after a runrev was executed. An abortrev was then executed which caused both cards to get stuck in Init state.

Workaround:

reset both cards by using resetcd. Reset the primary first then reset secondary. If they are still stuck in init state, reset both again but now reset secondary first.

CSCdt04166

Symptom:

AXSM card is restarted due to software exception.

Condition:

The AXSM card with 50 VTs resets due to the exception of the VSI slave task

Workaround:

None (Nothing at this point of time, may be reduce the ILMI links)

CSCdt04834

Symptoms:

Some or all cards in the node failed to come up.

The log shows the following errors:

01-00005 12/21/2000-16:38:42 DB2C-5-DBCLNT_CTCAPI dbClnt 0x8017063c Error 0 on call to ctcCntrLSlotNumGet

01-00006 12/21/2000-16:38:43 TRAP-5-TRAPCL_INVSLOT trapClTask 0x802831b4 Invalid Controller logical slot in "Trap Client Resolve Server Name"

Conditions:

Configuring the Node Name through the SNMP interface causes the PXM45 logical slot number to be changed to zero.

Workaround:

Do not use SNMP (e.g. CWM) to configure a node's name. Use the CLI cnfname command instead.

CSCdt05425

Symptom:

A number of connections on an AXSM card went into Mismatch state.

Condition: AXSM pair was upgraded from 2.0.10.2 to 2.0.11.3

Workaround:

None

S2 Bugs
 

CSCdr50289

Symptom:

XBAR plane available Multicast event buffer got corrupted.

Condition:

When XBAR plane available multicast is generated, which happens after standby inserted.

Workaround:

None.

CSCdr90786

Symptom:

When a Primary Clock Source is intentionally deleted with the 0delclksrc command a clock alarm is reported by the dspndalms and the dspclkalms command that states that the Primary clock source is lost.

Conditions:

This symptom will occur when a Primary clock source is intentionally deleted with the delclksrc command.

If a primary clock source is lost i.e becomes unlockable or has loss if signal; without user intervention then this alarm is reported as expected and that symptom is not an error.

Workaround:

None.

CSCds28502

Symptom:

Given that the maximum number of users is 50 (3 default users + 47 users). If CLI command 'adduser' is used to add a total of 50 users on the active card, only the first 49 users will appear on the standby card. And if switchover or the standby card is being reset at this time, the standby card will fail to transition from INIT to STANDBY; 'ctcShow' shows cliRat is CTC_APP_INIT_DONE while the other applications are CTC_APP_STBY_READY. Furthermore, if FTP to the active card, the 50th or last user on the list will be deleted.

Condition:

Switchover, reset standby card, or FTP. (see above for more details)

Workaround:

Have at most 49 users; delete an user and reset the standby card.

CSCds36438

Symptom:

Standby card does not come up after a restoreallcnf.

Conditions:

The database for the Standby card is corrupted.

Workaround:

Perform sysClrallcnf on the standby card.

Frequency:

One time occurrence.

CSCds41624

Symptom:

After DS3 line was configured to PLCP and local loopback has been added, the line does not come up in clear state.

Condition:

When there is a PLCP failure, it should clear the DSX3NonTcaAlmMap bit so that the above symptom doesn't happen.

Workaround:

None.

CSCds47626

Symptoms:

After running script to create 50K SPVC connections, there are some connections in FAIL state. dspcon on PXM45 show Last Fail Cause to be "no route to destination" on one end and "Cross Commit Failed" on the other end.

Conditions:

(1) In a three-node (NODE_EP1, NODE_VIA, NODE_EP2) network, nodes are connected linearly (e.g., two trunks connecting NODE_EP1 and NODE_VIA, three trunks connecting NODE_VIA and NODE_EP2).

(2) Run script to create 50K connections from NODE_EP1 to NODE_EP2.

(3) Some connections might failed to route.

Workaround:

none.

CSCds53634

Symptom:

When a line on an OC-3 MMF back card of AXSM is down (using dnln) the laser is not turned off. The other end of the line does not declare LOS.

Condition:

This happens on all OC-3 MMF back cards of AXSM. This is a hardware issue and the investigation is in progress to determine the root cause.

Workaround:

None

CSCds54440

Symptoms:

Some connections are not passing traffic.

Conditions:

Multiple service modules are reset one after another

Workaround:

Down and up the affected connections

CSCds54946

Symptom:

VP Connections are slow to route

Condition:

There is no reroute handling of SPVCs & SPVPs. The reroute could have failed at the HALF commit if the connections was not previously deleted at the AXSM, due to last deroute failure. In this case, resources (vpi/vci) are not released. The VPI/VCI will stay in use.

WorkAround:

After sometimes, RESYNC detects the error and connection is cleaned up at the AXSM.

CSCds57511

Symptom:

Active PXM45 may loose communication with all other cards on the shelf. All the links may go down.

Conditions:

This could happen during high activity on the PXM45 QE1210 sar, typically during resetsys of the node or resetsys of neighboring nodes.

Workaround:

Switchcc on the active PXM.

CSCds60742

Symptom:

Seen log entries about time of date change for standby PXM45 periodically.

Conditions:

Normal operation

Workaround:

None.

CSCds61188

Symptom:

After switchover from standby to active, the port rate of Resource Manager database is not the same as displayed by "dspport" or "dspports" command. This can cause Resource Manager to reject command that depends on available port bandwidth while the user think the bandwidth resource is OK from dspport.

Condition:

No noticeable condition. IPC failure has probably happened between Equipment Manager and VSI slave.

Workaround:

Use cnfport to force new min/max rate after previously standby card is active.

CSCds61193

Symptom:

After switchover from standby to active, the newly active AXSM card does not report back card as unreserved to Shelf Manager when the last line of bay is downed (i.e. all lines on the bay is downed). When any line of bay is upped again, AXSM does not report back card as reserved to Shelf Manager. The Shelf Manager thinks the back card is reserved all the time.

Condition:

AXSM switchover occurs when at least one line on a bay is upped.

Workaround:

No workaround. Most likely, this effect is not noticed by user.

CSCds62771

Symptoms:

Connection stays fail after port is down and now is up.

Conditions:

addcon when port is down then up the port within 2 minutes may result in connection stays fail (con in CALL_INITIATED state but not in any queue)

Work Around:

switchcc

CSCds63497

Symptom:

TLB exception on one of the ftp tasks.

Conditions:

Noticed only once - on a heavy loaded system. On the PXM45 card only.

Workaround:

If redundancy is enabled, conduct a switchover.

On a standalone card, you would need to reset the system.

When the exception happens, one of the 4 ftp tasks on the PXM45 will no longer be available to process requests.

Frequency:

One time occurrence.

CSCds63635

Symptom:

It takes a long time for some connections to route.

Condition:

When some parallel trunks have an insignificant reduction in bandwidth, so that PNNI does not distribute an updated PTSE. The master node continues to choose these trunks (equal to or greater than 3) and the connection cranks back 3 times, after which the same trunks are chosen again.

After 30 minutes the PTSE update clears this problem.

WorkAround:

None

CSCds64258

Symptom:

tstdelay and tstconseg takes an order of 2ms longer in some connection configurations.

Condition:

This occurs with tstdelay on dax connections. It also occurs with tstconseg that have ports physically looped back to another port on the same card.

Workaround:

None.

CSCds64282

Symptoms:

One end of the dax conn doesn't show alarm, when a down port is executed on the other end.

Conditions:

When a dnport is executed, the other end of DAX connections doesn't go into alarm.

Workaround:

None.

CSCds66595

Symptom:

cnfpasswd command does not sync up the standby card with the new password data. The data syncs on switchover, however if logging into the Stby PXM, the old password is still required.

Condition:

The problem is reproducible and occurs each time that cnfpasswd command is executed.

Workaround:

Until a switchover, the old password must be used to log into the standby PXM.

CSCds68426

Symptom:

Sometimes, after non-graceful upgrade, some DAX SPVP stayed in failed state.

Condition:

Occurs sometimes after a non-graceful upgrade which accompanies a system reboot. Happens for DAX connections.

WorkAround:

None.

Additional Information:

dncon and upcon will recover the connection.

CSCds69511

Symptoms:

SVC Based RCC in MPG networks will not get rerouted if the service class NRT VBR is not available.

Conditions:

If the service class NRT VBR is not available on a node in a different peer group or if the bandwidth in the service category is not enough for SVC Based RCC, the SVC Based RCC will not get routed on another service category.

Workaround:

There is no workaround to this situation except to make sure that NRT VBR is available on all nodes with the required bandwidth

CSCds69515

Symptoms:

The Routing failure cause code sent in the Signaling Release message is always Destination Unreachable.

Conditions:

When Signaling on the source node or entry border node (in case of Multi Peer Group) has a problem in routing a call in the network, the cause code will always be returned as Destination Unreachable even though the cause for the routing failure might be different.

Workaround:

There is no workaround to this situation. The Release will not carry the right cause code.

CSCds69518

Symptoms:

SVC Based RCC cannot be established on ABR service category.

Conditions:

When the service categories NRT VBR, RT VBR and CBR are available, PNNI tries to setup the SVC Based RCC with ABR as Service Class. But ABR call will fail at the source node or next node due to invalid IE contents.

Workaround:

There is no workaround to this situation.

CSCds69984

Symptom:

Memory leakage in ILMI.

Condition:

This problem is seen when there is lot of ILMI activity.

One way is to configure 60 VNNIs. dnallports followed by upallports will reproduce the problem.

Workaround:

None.

CSCds72034

Symptoms:

SPVC connections are in AIS

Conditions:

Pull out and put back the cable on an UNI port

Workaround:

down and up the UNI port using dnpnport and uppnport cmd on PXM

CSCds74162

Symptom:

Unable to create APS lines from CiscoView

Condition:

Condition was caused by an internal error in the code generated by SNMP research. After modifying this portion of the code (see SCM-note), the problem was cleared.

Workaround:

None.

CSCds74195

Symptom:

clrchancnts command does not clear all the counts.

Condition:

Pass traffic so that the counters accumulate some counts and then stop the traffic. Now execute "clrchancnts" followed by dspchancnt. Ideally, the counters should show zero as there is no traffic. But the counters show some values.

Workaround:

Use clrchancnts after dspchancnt. The values will be cleared.

CSCds74267

Symptom:

AXSM card did not come up after reset, log shows "failed to download image... reason SHM_DNLD_RMT_OPEN_FAILED"

Conditions:

Card was reset many times while downloading image.

Workaround:

Switch to standby PXM45 if available See CSCds72007 and make sure that forced download is not ON.

CSCds74270

Symptom:

When performing Bulk Sync (when standby AXSM card first arrives), some VsiErrs were observed on the Active AXSM card and the standby AXSM card might not have all the connections.

Conditions:

This happens when intraslave connections (between two port) were added on the AXSM card. If one of the port was admin downed followed by inserting/resetting the standby AXSM card.

WorkAround:

Initiate another Bulk Sync (by resetting the standby AXSM card) after the port is upped.

CSCds74565

Symptoms:

PNNI node name displayed in dsppnni-node is not the same as command prompt node name.

Conditions:

When the newly configured node name is a matching prefix of the old stored node name, the new node name was not written to the disk. So the PNNI node name won't show the correct node name.

Workaround:

Clear the old node name by typing a completely different node name and then try the new node name.

CSCds75107

Symptom:

No access to node via ATM interface

Conditions:

Node SVC appears to be setup and running. From routers point of view, the SVC is not established, though.

Workaround:

Reset the SVC on the node. svcifconfig atm0 router <atm-addr> reset

CSCds77137

Symptom:

Connection is not routed with master state as down vsi half and not in any queue and admin is up.

Condition:

dncon, upcon, rrtcon while there are lots of connection in the routing queue

Work around:

do another dncon and upcon

CSCds78209

Symptom:

Adtech tester (or any CPE) sees CRC errors in half the ilmi PDUs in receives.

Condition:

qe48sar chip which does the SAr for ilmi connection, has PCI read problem. It sends multiple copies of same data, one correctly and others with no CRC field set.

Workaround:

This problem doesn't effect the normal working of ilmi, expect we may have problems or end up wasting some amount of bandwidth.

CSCds79085

Symptom:

When a dsppnports CLI command is executed, the interface is in the state "building-vc".

Condition:

Multiple AXSM switchovers led to the problem.

Workaround:

Once the interface is in "building-vc" state, it can be got oper-up by doing a "dnpnport" followed by "uppnport".

CSCds79424

Symptom:

Port stuck in building-vc.

Condition:

A card is pulled out and put back-in.

Workaround:

1. Down the port and up it again, OR, 2. Pull out the card and put it back-in.

CSCds81546

Symptom:

what happens with this problem is that on APS line, we transmit node status but the feeder don't see or response it back.

So feeder status on our side is ADMINSTATUS = UP, OPERATION = DOWN, when you dnlmi and uplmi, the feeder status shows ADMIN=UP, OPER = UP, which is not correct. In addition, the feeder statistics show LMI is constantly transmitting DEGRADE msg.

Condition:

This happens when the OPER=DOWN, and you dnlmi and uplmi. The solution is when you uplmi, currently we assume the feeder is up automatically which is not correct. So we will assume the link is down, and it will discover the feeder through the node status.

Workaround:

Don't dnlmi and uplmi if the Feeder OPER=DOWN on AXSM side.

CSCds81990

Symptom:

Upon trap verification, cwAtmIfSctFileAlarm (60356) does not provide correct value for caviFileId varbind.

Conditions:

User was configuring port i/f and sct from CLI. cnfport -if 22 -sct 99 User then checked CWM GUI OV Event Browser window for traps and expanded varbinds.

Workaround:

UNKNOWN

CSCds82333

Symptom:

Call is released on one node but does not get released on the peer.

Condition:

Caused when lot of status enquiry happens when the nodes are highly congested. This happens very rarely.

Workaround:

clearing the connection manually.

CSCds83535

Symptom:

visErr 0x9002 and 0x9003 timer delete error is display on AXSM

Condition:

PXM45 switchover might trigger AXSM send trap to controller but using incorrect timer value.

Workaround:

None

CSCds84546

Symptom:

dsppnni-link doesn't take physical port id with subslot 2.

Condition:

Pass node index and physical port id (with subslot 2) to dsppnni-link to display nni link information.

Workaround:

None.

CSCds84573

Symptom:

The GUI (CiscoView) and CLI command have inconsistent behavior for addport operation. The CLI did the IfNum checking within the addport command and echo the error message, but the GUI (CiscoView) just ignore the IfNum range checking.

Solution:

The CLI interface specific range checking for IfNum parameter has been removed. Instead the IfNum range checking common to both CLI and GUI has been added. Now the CLI and GUL share the same IfNum range checking behavior.

Workaround

N/A

CSCds86265

Symptom:

summary display of tasks is awkward to get from CLI

Conditions:

Always

Workaround:

dsptask 1 2

CSCds87073

Symptom:

Memory Block Error messages for an AXSM card appeared in the event log after a switchcc was executed.

Condition:

A switchcc was executed.

Workaround:

UNKNOWN

CSCds87127

Symptom:

No SNMP response or lost traps after switchcc is executed on the

redundant node.

Condition:

When user executed switchcc on a node that has redundant PXM, the standby PXM45 will become active but any communication with the switch via SNMP will not get any response. Or the standby PXM45 that become active might dropped the first few traps because it couldn't transition fast enough. The above problems above are very rare.

Workaround:

None

CSCds88236

Symptoms:

The SSCOP reset happens after switch over to standby and connections get derouted.

Conditions:

During any resync failures on control VCs in the active, the standby doesn't know the failure and doesn't unbind on the LCNs. This causes an inconsistency with the VSI proxy and causes SSCOP to go down during switchover.

Workaround:

There is no workaround to this situation.

CSCds89112

Symptom:

SPVC connection failed to come up after power cycle

Condition:

Slave connection has not been released while master still try to reestablish the call

Workaround:

Do PXM45 switchover using switchcc

CSCds89750

Symptom:

Upon trap verification, cwChanAdd (60301) does not provide correct value for cwaChanVpcFlag varbind.

Conditions:

User was adding a slave connection from CLI with the following command: addcon 3 99 99 cbr1 s User then checked CWM GUI OV Event Browser window for traps and expanded varbinds.

Workaround:

UNKNOWN

CSCds90005

Symptoms:

When SONET line medium is changed using "cnfln -sonet x.x -slt x" command, these error messages appear sometime:

0x82c7394c PhyTask 97 0x80373184 OC3 Board: unsupported timing source value...

Condition:

No special condition. This error occurrence is intermittent.

Workaround:

No workaround.

CSCds90091

Symptom:

Card Number [8]: prompt presented on telnet session.

Condition:

This prompt is presented when user first telnets into node. It is a prompt that allows the user to log into a specific slot.

Workaround:

Hit carriage return to go to the default slot.

CSCds90343

Symptom:

OAM traffic exists for deleted connections on ports.

Condition:

Customer added 240 SPVCs via cli and deleted the connections using CWM 10.3 connection manager. OAM traffic was present on the ports that previously had the connections after deletion. Execution of dspcons did not show any connections on cards. Execution dspvsicons did show existence of connections.

Workaround:

None

CSCdt00600

Symptom:

Port go to building vc.

Condition:

This is found in MGX 8850 shelf, single AXSM reset (either runrev or reset cd or pull out/in the AXSM card) will cause port go to building vc.

Work around:

dnpnport / uppnport

CSCdt03684

Symptom:

A pnport was stuck in building VC, preventing SVCs and new SPVCs from getting routed.

Condition: An upport/dnport was executed on an AXSM port to get rid of some phony e-ais/rdi alarms

Workaround:

UNKNOWN

CSCdt04580

Symptom:

Node shows PXM45/B card as mismatch when inserted as Standby card.

Condition:

PXM45A card is Active and PXM45/B card is inserted as Standby.

Workaround:

None.

CSCdt06911

Symptom:

The pnport both side of the pnni-link goes to attempt state. The SSCOP on both sides is in established state. On one node the pnport goes to attempt state and link shows no remote node with remote node id 0:0:00.0000__.

The other node pnni-link shows that the remote node is different than the node where this node is connected physically.

There are no alarms etc on any of the pnport, SSCOP, port of the line of both nodes.

Condition:

The PNNI port goes into attempt when a delred, addred is followed very quickly by a switchcc.

Workaround:

The pnni-link remained in the attempted state forever. Then ppnport was brought down and up again.

Recovery: By disabling the PNNI node using cnfpnni-node disable and re-enabling it the link can be brought up. This is NOT service affecting.

CSCdt07011

Symptom:

addapsln allow user add 1+1 APS when working and protection line are in same AXSM card

Condition:

To avoid this problem, user option 2 instead of 1 while adding APS line

S3 Bugs
 

CSCdp43597

Symptom:

Confusing trap sent when voltage is above threshold.

Condition:

When DC voltage is above threshold an event is logged that specifies an "Above threshold" alarm. However, a "Below threshold" trap is generated.

Workaround:

None

CSCdr50889

Symptom:

-dsplns command accepts junk as input parameter.

Condition:

dsplns command takes no parameters. Enter junk after dsplns on command prompt. It is accepted. dspports command is working fine.

Workaround:

None

CSCdr52270

Symptom:

When a DAX connection is added among different interface ports and the same AXSM card, dnport and then upport on one end of the SPVC connection will cause connection checksum mismatch alarm instead of conditioned alarm.

Condition:

None

Workaround:

Problem is resolved. If it happens on earlier release, dnport and then upport on both connection endpts will bring it back to normal.

CSCdr69957

Symptom:

Addition of New SPVCs are allowed even when number of configured VCCs exceeded Negotiated maxVccs value.

Condition:

When ILMI is enabled and negotiated mxVccs or maxVpcs are less than configured value. Addition of SPVC or SPVP are allowed.

Workaround:

NONE

CSCdr77019

Symptom:

Memory allocation failure detected in statistics region on the PXM45 card.

This is the SNMP region - region2.

Conditions:

On multiple resets on a specific AXSM card in the system, we might get into a situation where we are losing memory per AXSM reset on the PXM45 card.

Workaround:

None.

Additional Information:

In such cases, conduct a switchover to the other PXM45 card in the shelf. If you have a single PXM, reset the card. Note: conducting a reset on the PXM45 card will cause service outage.

CSCdr77941

Symptom:

Debugging 'printf' messages are displayed.

Condition:

These messages are not meaningful to users and they occur, for example, when CLI commands are entered with invalid parameters.

Workaround:

No known workaround.

CSCdr88980

Symptom:

SFrame tic lock errors are generated and the planes are not able to recover.

Condition:

At PXM45 shell, issue "xbarPxmPioSerClkEnable" or "debugger"

Workaround:

Issue xbarSFrameResync(xbarPslot, plane) at PXM45 shell to resync. each plane manually.

CSCds01758

Symptom:

An incorrect error message is displayed on the CLI when the setrev command is issued.

Condition:

When attempting to do a setrev on an empty slot, an error message is displayed to indicate the file does not exist. This happens because the card type in the slot cannot be determined (slot is empty).

Workaround:

None

CSCds03436

Symptom:

Call to remove a statistics file fails and an event is logged. This is an intermittent problem.

Condition:

Remove fails because for a 15 minute bucket interval, there are two files generated. As they have the same name (same interval), the file gets overwritten and there is only one file in memory. Two entries are registered for the same file as it was generated twice. For the first entry, remove is successful. For the second entry, remove fails. The cause of this problem is that there is a syncing problem with the ticks and the system clock time. Even though timeout happens after the specified number of ticks, the system time shows a lesser time.

Workaround:

None.

CSCds05239

Symptom:

If quit in previous display for dspsarcnt - after that time, if dspsarcnt is done - no output is seen on the screen. The prompt is returned back.

Condition:

Happens every time user quits out of display of dspsarcnt. If however user does not quit - but types CR - then the problem is not seen.

Workaround:

Do not type quit during display of dspsarcnt.

CSCds06083

Symptoms:

addport, addpart, delport or delpart commands can be rejected

Condition:

Vastier port data structure is not initialized at the time of port configuration, this causes garbage to be present in the port data structure, which sometimes turns out that the VSICore thinks that clock is configured, even though it was not.

Workaround:

None

CSCds11605

Symptoms:

When adding connections right after performing a switchcc, occasionally, VSIErr 0x9003 is displayed on the AXSM console even though all connections are successfully added. Please note that this VSIErr is non-service affecting.

Conditions:

(1) In a three-node (NODE_EP1, NODE_VIA, NODE_EP2) network, nodes are connected linearly (e.g., two trunks connecting NODE_EP1 and NODE_VIA, three trunks connecting NODE_VIA and NODE_EP2).

(2) Connections are established from NODE_EP1 to NODE_EP2.

(3) perform a switchcc on NODE_EP1.

(4) Right after the switchcc, add SPVCs on the UNI at NODE_EP1. Occasionally, VSIErr 0x9003 is displayed on the AXSM console even though all connections are successfully added.

Workaround:

Do not add connections right after performing switchcc. Wait for about 0.5 to 1 minute.

CSCds15141

Symptom:

After the AXSM card resets due to watchdog timeout, You enter "dspcd n" command from the PXM45 console for the AXSM card in slot n shows UNKNOWN REASON reset reason.

Condition:

This is due to an invalid reset reason provided by the boot software from the AXSM card to the "dspcd n" command of the PXM.

We modify the boot software for the AXSM card to provide the appropriate reset reason to the PXM45 during the AXSM power up. With this fix, you enter "dspcd n" command from the PXM45 for an AXSM card in slot n, the console displays the correct reset reason for the AXSM card instead of UNKNOWN REASON ass seen before.

Workaround:

none

CSCds15997

Symptom:

When user does an addpart with a partition id > 5, the front end accepts the command but is never applied to the internal data structures.

Condition:

The internal data structures of RM had restricted the number of partitions to 5 (to conserve memory). The partition id mapped one to one with the partition index in the internal RM data structures. Since the partition id is restricted internally, there is no point in allowing for a larger value of partition id in the CLI/SNMP interface.

Workaround:

Do not provision partitions with partition id > 5.

CSCds16572

Symptom:

AXSM card reboots and is stuck in failed state.

Conditions:

Trying to burn non-existent boot code.

Workaround:

None.

CSCds17159

Symptom:

The data transfer fails in MGX 8850 node for data option with aesa_ping command

Condition:

This is caused when LCN binding is done before adding the LCN to LCN table.

Workaround:

None.

CSCds17564

Symptom:

On execution of dsperr command using the "-en <errornumber>" option, data can be displayed for a different error number.

Conditions:

Execution of "dsperr -en <errornum> -sl <slotnumb>" where the shelf has experienced at least 100+ errors logged.

Workaround:

This indicates that the error files, 100 per card, have been overwritten due to the numerous errors being logged by the card. The workaround would be to catch the error as early as possible by doing the dsperr command.

CSCds20339

Symptom:

When "cnfcdsct" command is executed with ports present, the error message is "conns are still present" instead of "down all ports before configuring card SCT".

Condition:

When "cnfcdsct" is called with any port in "upport" state.

Workaround:

Ignore "conns are still present". Go ahead and down all ports before calling "cnfcdsct".

CSCds25447

Symptom:

There should be no visible symptoms for this bug. This bug is raised purely for code maintainability purposes.

Condition:

Not applicable.

Workaround:

Not applicable.

CSCds25483

Symptom:

An active call which receives a Release-Complete message will fail to release the call in a particular case.

Condition:

This case may occur when a badly formatted Release-Complete message is received when the call is active. The data structures associated with the call will remain intact causing a dangling connection. The state of the call will erroneously show N0 state.

Subsequent receipt of a Release message will also fail to clear the call fully.

Workaround:

The audit task which runs in the background periodically will clear the dangling connection.

CSCds26619

Symptom:

When resetsys, dsplog -mod CC shows CC-4-SCALING and "active call already exist" in standby

Condition:

It happens with redundancy node that does resetsys

Workaround:

CSCds27960

Symptom:

When working line cable is pulled and active line switches to protection line, "dspapsln" command "Alarm State" shows "Clear" even if "Working Line Pending Request" shows "SignalFailLowPriority".

Condition:

Working line fails.

Workaround:

"Working Line Pending Request" is correct. Ignore "Alarm State".

CSCds29751

Symptom:

In a multi node setup, a call cannot be established fully. Before it is established, it gets released from the network.

Condition:

The CONNECT messages are not arriving in time for the call to be set up.

Workaround:

None.

CSCds30477

Symptoms:

CSCds32847

Symptoms:

When user not specify a CBR connection's CTD/CDV value, it shows in PXM45 as N/A while -1 in AXSM.

Conditions:

When you provision the CBR connection without specify CTD/CDV values.

Workaround:

Provision with CDV/CTD values.

CSCds33218

Symptom:

TLB exception caused by a an invalid parameter. This causes an event to be logged and the interrupted FTP request must be retried.

Condition:

An ftp request is interrupted during logout.

Workaround:

None.

CSCds33855

Symptoms:

Event log header in the event log being created is not complete. Cannot read logs from that file.

Conditions:

When a event log file is being created, PXM45 has been reset.

Workaround:

Event logs can be read on redundant PXM45 card.

CSCds35438

Symptom:

The PXM45 and AXSM card does not support netmask for the IP of the ethernet device. When you issue bootChange command, the "inet on ethernet (e)" field can be entered with the following format:

inet on ethernet (e) : a.b.c.d:ffff0000

a,b,c,d have value from 0 to 255.

ffff0000 is the netmask which is not saved to Non-volatile storage device. When you entered the IP and netmask as shown above, the PXM45 or AXSM card cannot boot from network on the next power up because an invalid netmask (not the one you entered) is used.

We allocate a portion of the Non-volatile storage device for software to store the netmask. And also software to validate the netmask you entered before save to Non-volatile storage device. This insure successful boot from network for the PXM45 and AXSM card.

Condition:

none

Workaround:

Do not enter netmask during bootChange

CSCds40655

Symptom:

1. For some successfully routed calls the Master end showed Last Fail cause as Invalid while the slave end showed SPVC Established.

2. No information on how the last fail cause field is being populated.

Work Around:

None

CSCds43034

Symptom:

A message appeared on the console when AXSM card is in Failed state.

Condition:

Injecting a hardware failure on SRAM component of Active PXM45 card manually.

Workaround:

None

CSCds45296

Symptom:

dspconinfo was showing x lines of wrong state with x down SPVCs. This was happening because dspconinfo was not handling downed connections. So handling of downed connections will eliminate the problem.

Condition:

When ever there was downed connections and dspconinfo was executed, the Wrong state string used to appear.

Work Around :

None

CSCds45411

Symptoms:

Address search fail errors are sometimes seen in the following setup... 1. NNI ports on different AXSM cards connected back to back with ILMI enabled on both ports. 2. One of the AXSM cards has a redundancy setup and the error messages are seen on that card.

Conditions:

The error messages are seen in the following cases

1. The port is downed (dnport). 2. The AXSM card is switched (switchredcd) 3. The peer AXSM card is reset.

The address tables on the active and standby cards don't get synched up when a new address is added. As a result when an address has to be deleted it is sometimes not found on the standby. This problem does not affect the ILMI servicing any way because when an AXSM card switchover occurs the resynch process synchs up the address tables on the standby card.

Workaround:

None

CSCds53634

Symptom:

When a line on an OC-3 MMF back card of AXSM is down (using dnln) the laser is not turned off. The other end of the line does not declare LOS.

Condition:

This happens on all OC-3 MMF back cards of AXSM. This is a hardware issue and the investigation is in progress to determine the root cause.

Workaround:

None.

CSCds54873

Symptom:

After the AXSM switch over, if there were ilmi sessions been enabled, you will see a few ilmi messages.

Condition:

The data pane switch over faster than control pane, so we will start getting ilmi PDU on the newly Active going card just before the card goes to Active Ready. The message indicate them.

Workaround:

None

CSCds55631

Symptom:

Whenever a port state changes - the change is not recorded in the event log.

Condition:

All port state changes.

Workaround:

None.

CSCds55684

Symptom:

Message on AXSM console, RCV_DISP_TSK Rcvfailed due to length err msg.

Condition:

This is a harmless error that may occur anytime. Caused by a cell lost in the maintenance cell bus. Message will be retried.

Workaround:

None

CSCds55940

Symptom:

Card alarm is generated when core redundancy is lost.

Condition:

Even when core redundancy is disabled using cnfndparms.

Workaround:

None

CSCds56244

Symptoms:

The cause code in the Release message will not carry QOS unavailable when the end to end CDV or CTD fails

Conditions:

Whenever a call is initiated with an end to end CTD or CDV value which cannot be supported on the node, the routing failure cause code will be only Destination Unreachable.

Workaround:

Unknown.

CSCds57341

Symptom:

Axsm may consider Multiple Bit error as One Bit error (CRC-8 is not sufficient to detect/correct One bit error) and tries to correct that.

So it will come up with wrong VPI/VCI. If VPI/VCI are configured then data will be sent to the wrong destination. If VPI/VCI is not configured, dsplncnt will show invalid VPI/VCI.

Condition:

In the device configuration HEC is enabled to detect and correct one bit error.

Workaround:

Now HEC is disabled in device configuration. If problem persists then do the following at DIP, if available dad write 0x60= 5

CSCds58507

Symptom:

dpscd and dspcds do not indicate upgrade status for the cards being upgraded

Conditions:

Initiate upgrades on a card set and use the dspcd/dspcds. The card show normal card states.

Work Around:

Look at the Prim/Sec/Current revision using the dspcd for each cards.

CSCds58799

Symptom:

dsppnni-link command takes logical port as the input argument.

Condition:

It is the syntax for this command.

Workaround:

None. Use dsppnport <port> to get the logical port id.

CSCds58912

Symptom:

CC alarm is not always reported.

Condition:

Enabling and Disabling CC multiple times on a connection may cause the CC alarm not to be reported.

Workaround:

None.

CSCds59341

Symptom:

AXSM "dspcd" command always show reset reason as "On Power up".

Condition:

No special condition.

Workaround:

Ignore AXSM dspcd reset reason.

CSCds60757

Symptom:

Crossbar alarm is observed. The alarm can be displayed using the CLI command dspswalm.

Conditions:

When switch cards (XM60, or PXM45) reset, transient Crossbar errors are present. After the switch cards come up, the error counters should stop incrementing (dspxbarerrcnt). Prior to the revision 2.0.12, the error thresholds are set low. Therefore, a false crossbar alarm might be triggered during switch card reset. The alarm can be ignored as long as the crossbar error counts are not incrementing continuously. This might be observed during upgrade because switch cards are reset during upgrade.

In the revision 2.0.12 or later, the error thresholds are set properly.

Work Around:

None.

CSCds61205

Symptom:

On a T3/E3 front card, it is possible to do an upln without a back card. The line would default to T3 mode. This causes confusion with the

SHM which is not aware of the back card type until the user inserts a card.

Condition:

Stated above in symptom.

Workaround:

Do not "upln" on a T3/E3 AXSM card without inserting its T3/E3 back card.

CSCds62345

Symptom:

System runs out of memory due to a memory leak.

Condition:

In rare cases, when we try to send out a SETUP message, we could have a situation where a packet is held up and never freed.

Workaround:

None.

CSCds63066

Symptom:

One or more AXSM cards fail to come up while Standby PXM45 is coming up.

Conditions:

When an AXSM card is coming up while Standby PXM45 is coming up, the applications fail to complete the initialization on the AXSM card. This results in AXSM card failing to come up.

Workaround:

Reset the failed AXSM cards once the Standby PXM45 is READY.

CSCds63506

Symptom:

No defect will be exposed to user.

Condition:

Not applicable.

Work around:

Not applicable.

CSCds63743

Symptom:

popup of some messages interfere with the scripts. Non service affecting.

Condition:

Issuing the command switchredcd

Workaround:

None

CSCds64292

Symptom:

When you issue sysBackupBoot from VxWorks shell of PXM45 card (pxm45>), the card reboot and then prompt the following:

Press Return key stop auto-boot, d and Return for Diag... 5

This provides you the options to run (1) boot from LAN, (2) diagnostic, (3) backup boot.

Condition:

This condition occur to provide more boot options during development.

Workaround:

None

CSCds64751

Symptom:

When you issue a bootChange command on the PXM45 or AXSM card and enter boot information, with the ethernet IP contains netmask as shown:

inet on ethernet (e) : a.b.c.d:fff00000

The netmask field is not saved to non-volatile storage device. Therefore, The next time the PXM45 or AXSM card power up, the netmask is lost.

We allocate non-volatile storage device to store netmask after you do the bootChange command so that it is available on the next card power up. This software release requires a requisite release which initializes the netmask field in the Non-volatile storage to a valid netmask value.

Condition:

none

Workaround:

Do not enter netmask during bootChange.

CSCds65569

Symptom:

Unexpected popup messages are show on the AXSM console by default.

Condition:

Using the command cnfcdsct.

Workaround:

N/A

CSCds65600

Symptom:

"CM_ASYNC_API: force resync start" msg being displayed on the console

Condition:

Whenever the force resync kicks in.

Workaround:

None.

CSCds66485

Symptom:

dspchancnt gives wrong error message.

Condition:

dspchancnt on a admin down or oper down interface gives a misleading error message. It does not reflect the current state of the interface.

Workaround:

None.

CSCds66753

Symptom:

When you issue bootChange command and enter the boot information for PXM45 or AXSM card, only a portion of the netmask information is saved to non-volatile storage device. The board network interface remains operational because a copy of the information you entered is saved in RAM. Only the copy saves in non-volatile storage device have incomplete netmask information. Each times the PXM45 or the AXSM card power up or reset, the boot information is retrieved from non-volatile storage device is with an invalid netmask. Thus, the board network interface becomes non-operational.

We now allocate a portion of the non-volatile storage device sufficient to store the complete netmask information. Before we can use that portion of the non-volatile storage device, we initialize it to a valid netmask value.

Condition:

none

Workaround:

do not enter netmask during bootChange.

CSCds69631

Symptom:

Debug messages are displayed as Error messages in log file

Condition:

With ABR calls and vsvd 0

Workaround:

none

CSCds71026

Symptoms:

aesa_ping setup timing out even after receiving connect.

Condition:

caused by getting wrong index variable.

Workaround:

Unknown

CSCds72007

Symptom:

The AXSM cards always download the firmware image from the Active PXM45 disk.

Conditions:

If the node was previously running 2.0.2.x and upgraded to 2.0.10.x or later, the AXSM cards always get downloaded the firmware image from the Active PXM45 disk even though the AXSM cards have the image in their Flash.

Workaround:

Use the shell command gShmForcedSwDnldSet (<slot>, 0), where 'slot' is the physical slot number of the AXSM card, to enable AXSM card download the image from its Flash.

CSCds73161

Symptom:

On Standby side some times we do see Trf Param: Broken link error in event log. No other functional effects

Condition:

This happens when sometimes traffic index is journaled to standby before traffic parameters. This should not have and side effect at all and act-stdby should be in sync. This is just a confusing error message and need not to worry.

WorkAround:

None

CSCds73759

Symptom:

After APS is deleted, the previous working line shows "major" alarm state in dsplns command, but no obvious alarm in dspalm command.

Condition:

APS is deleted when the working line is in no alarm state but the working line is in critical alarm state. Unfortunately, the dsplns command does not show the separate alarm state of working and protection line, the two alarm states are combined to form a "major" alarm state. dspapslns should shown working line as "OK" and protection line as "ALM".

Workaround:

Do something that can change the alarm state of the line. For example pull the line out and in, or used loop command.

CSCds74043

Symptom:

XBAR planes are shut down automatically. This can be displayed using the CLI command dspxbar.

Condition:

When the auto shut-down feature is enabled with the CLI command cnfxbarmgmt and XBAR errors are present. Sometimes, transient XBAR errors can also trigger XBAR plane shut down.

The auto shut-down feature is not supported in 2.0x releases. The feature will be blocked in the release 2.0(12) in CLI.

Workaround:

Always disable the feature in 2.0x releases.

CSCds74734

Symptom:

After using Esc Ctrl 2 to raise the priority of cli, and the session ended to restore the lower priority of cli, one of the tasks remained at a higher priority. This is only visible through "dsptask 1 2" cli command or through the shellconn "i" command.

Condition:

On the debug console only after raising the priority of cli using the Esc Ctrl 2 sequence.

Workaround:

There is no workaround. This will not cause a problem.

CSCds78275

Symptom:

On the PXM45 console, user see SHM BRAM Checksum Error

Condition:

During bringup of a fresh PXM45 card with a different release than the existing database version.

Workaround:

None

CSCds79948

Symptom:

The errno value for event logging by QE48SAR_EVENT was always -1.

Condition:

Enable event logging for QE48SAR_EVENT and check the log generated. Instead of displaying a meaningful errno, a "-1" was displayed always.

Workaround:

None.

CSCds80408

Symptom:

cnfndparms CLI command for some options may prompt for value range but that is not the correct range for an option.

Conditions:

CLI command cnfndparms

Workaround:

Look at the help for an option to select value.

CSCds82118

Symptom:

Control chars in file names' are printed as is during listing of the files.

Condition:

Accidental creation of file(s) with control characters in its (their) name(s).

Workaround:

None.

CSCds82216

Symptom:

file descriptor is leaked

Conditions:

Any time an ftp session to the switch is rejected because the maximum session count has been reached

Workaround:

Don't open more than 4 ftp sessions at one time

CSCds83255

Symptom:

No tracing of card-to-card multicast messages

Conditions:

Performing link trace on a slot. Do not see the multicast messages sent to that slot.

Workaround:

None.

CSCds83659

Symptom:

When you dspcons on AXSM card, you will see a partial number of connections ended by a connection of vpi=4095 and vci=65535.

Condition:

This problem is reproducible and happens in any condition.

Workaround:

If the connection of vpi=4095 and vci=65535 is deleted, dspcons works okay then.

CSCds84064

Symptom:

When connection is deleted from the feeder side. dspcons on AXSM card shows the connection as Abit Alarm but no AIS is generated towards the CPE.

Condition:

If feeder connection is deleted, AXSM card shows Abit alarm. But Abit alarm can be generated due to different reasons too. So from AXSM point of view, we cannot say for sure that connection is deleted from feeder.

Workaround:

Do a dspcons on feeder side and verify that the particular connection does not exist.

The fix does not affect the existing behavior. But after this fix, AXSM card will generate AIS towards CPE on receiving a deletion D-bit from feeder. A bit alarm will be seen on the connection as before.

CSCds86283

Symptom:

dsprevs shows current revision for empty slot

Condition:

After AXSM and PXM45 card removable, issue dsprevs command

Workaround:

UNKNOWN

CSCds87474

Symptom:

Telneting from one node to other node causes displacement of command prompt. It is not service impacting error. It is just a display issue.

Condition:

Using CLI 'telnet' command to telnet from one node to another node.

Workaround:

No known workaround.

CSCds87628

Symptom:

Fan tray alarms not reported correctly.

Condition:

User execution of dspenvalms clearly shows that there are no fan trays present, yet it is not being reported as an alarm. Traps are also not being sent to CWM appropriately.

Workaround:

None

CSCds88098

Symptoms:

When svcifconfig atm0 local 47.0091.8100.5670.0101.0101.0101.0101.0101.0101.01 it gives ERR: svcifconfig: local AESA not in DOWN state (UP) for atm0

Condition:

After giving svcifconfig atm0 local 00.0000.0000.0000.0000.0000.0000.0000.0000.0000.00 dspsvcif atm0 is in Up state.

Then when svcifconfig atm0 local 47.0091.8100.5670.0101.0101.0101.0101.0101.0101.01 it gives ERR: svcifconfig: local AESA not in DOWN state (UP) for atm0

Workaround:

Issue commands to disable and then enable SVC connections on interface to clear condition:

ipifconfig atm0 nosvc ipifconfig atm0 svc

CSCds88721

Symptoms:

When there is an active PXM45 in the shelf and you insert a PXM45/B into the same shelf. The active PXM45 receive card type from the inserted card as PXM45 and not PXM45/B.

Condition:

none

Work-around:

none, code fix in place.

CSCdt00594

Symptom:

When Injecting LOF from an OmniBer Test set. Initial dspalm -sonet 1.6 shows Section Alarm State: LOF. This is fine.

However, when clearing the LOF on the OmniBer, it still shows LOF when entering the command "dspalm -sonet 1.6" Condition: The cause of the problem was due to the fact that when LOF is cleared, there were still no messages being sent to EM to update the change of the status.

Workaround:

The fix was implemented in the file, "sonet_line.c" in the section where it sends a message "RED_ALM_CLEAR_EVT". Instead of the "and" condition, the conditional checking should have been "ORed".

Shelf Manager task got suspended.

CSCds34714

After executing a "resetsys" command, on a system with 12 standalone (non redundant) AXSM cards and 2 PXM45 cards (slot 7 and 8), the ACTIVE PXM45 card coming up (after the resetsys) might experience going into an ACTIVE-F state. This will cause a switchover to the other PXM45 card as soon as the other PXM45 card is available (i.e. gone to STANDBY state).

CSCds37401

In a redundancy configuration, repeated valid and/or invalid addred/delred commands may corrupt the back card type. This will be seen in dspcd in AXSM or PXM. Subsequent valid addred commands will be rejected because of back card type mismatch.

CSCds40915

CSCds50617

The Standby PXM/AXSM card fails to come up.

CSCds51901

Floating point exception and system gets reloaded automatically.

CSCds52919

PXM45 could crash due to SAR Link list access invalid Pointer. This problem is caused by the changed in CSCds38562, where we cleanup the HUMVEE ILT and ELT table entry The ILT table is not protected so ILT table could delete more than once, once by proxy slave and another by PNNI, when they unbind the GLCN.

CSCds56700

In a single PXM45 node, after runrev is done the PXM45 card resets 2 times and comes back in the older revision

CSCds63376

Axsm card resets while attempting to read sct file.

CSCds64807

After you add the connections, then you change the number of LCNs in your partition, if the number of the connections is more than LCN number, some of the connections would be failed. If you reset the Service module, the connections failed routing may be no deterministic. That is, before routed connection may be failed while some failed connections may be successfully routed.

CSCds65556

The controller was out of memory and restarted.

dspsct command does not display proper information.

CSCdr71440

Currently, if a SHM/CTC message protocol timeout occur, only an error is logged. The card will eventually be reset. The timeout for this may be up to 1.5 hours. If the protocol error occurred during a node power up against an AXSM card, the AXSM will be stuck in the INIT state; in addition, the STANDBY PXM45 card may be affected by this, and may get stuck in the INIT state also.

CScdr74604

On one of the nodes in a devtest network, a few connections were reporting an egress AIS alarm even though the connection was perfectly passing traffic. This gave a false impression of failure to the user.

CSCdr75239

During the powering up of a standby PXM, the disk is marked "disk not ready" temporarily while the disk sync is being performed. During this time, the Disk Not Ready alarm is reported under the slot alarm category. There is also an alarm category called disk alarms which is not being utilized at the moment. Thus the disk alarms count is shown as zero.

After about 75 (out of the 100) ports issued the above error message, PXM45 would temporarily lock up (for about 40 sec) and then continue.

CSCdr97659

For a Service Module that supports master agent/subagent agent architecture, its subagent MIBs need to be un-registered from the master agent when it is removed, reset, failed, switchredcc, etc. Otherwise, MIB walk will hang/timeout since the master agent sees the registered subagent MIBs and continue to send requests to a Service Module that may be physically removed, failed, or rebooted/reset and did not come back up successfully.

CSCdr27033

Clock source does not revert back to primary bits clock when revertive mode enabled. This can also appear in the form that clock is not switched to a valid clock source that should have a good clock signal.

What is really the case is that the clock source has been previously declared as unusable/unlockable by the clock source manager. This clock source will not be chosen again until after clock source reconfiguration.

Few connections will be in fail state at one end point (either master end or slave end)

CSCdr39684

Cannot display link selection configured on PNNI port.

CSCdr39892

The symptoms of this problem is that all traffic that is coming into the AXSM card is being discarded. Specifically, ingress traffic does not go into the switch planes and since the queues in the QE48 gets full, the incoming traffic reaches the maximum cell threshold and all cells are discarded.
