Release Note Document Changes
These changes have been made to this document since the Rev. A0, December 11, 2002 revision.
•
Replaced reference to MGX 8830, MGX 8850 (PXM1E and PXM45), and MGX 8950 Command Reference, Release 3, at http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/wanbu/8850px45/release3/axsm/index.htm with AXSM Software Configuration Guide and Command Reference for MGX 8850 (PXM45) and MGX 8950, Release 3, at http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/wanbu/8850px45/release3/axsm/index.htm.
•
Removed non-supported SRM-3T3/C card from hardware tables and from Limitations section.
•
Added the caution about replacing T1 or T3 cards with E1 or E3 cards (or vice versa) to use the clrsmcnf command.
•
Added syntax for enableaxsmbaps command to clarify usage.
•
Added limitation about when configuring virtual interfaces on AXSM cards, that the physical interface must be of the same ATM header type.
•
Added missing SMB-4-155 back card for the AXSM-8-155-E front card.
New Features and Enhancements in Release 3.0.20
Release 3.0.20 contains these new features:
•
SPVC Connection Statistics
•
AXSM-E OAM Enhancements
•
CLI Configurable Access
•
Controller Card Mastership Sanity Verification Enhancement
•
Serial Bus Path Fault Isolation Enhancement
•
Cell Bus Path Fault Isolation and Recovery Enhancement
SPVC Connection Statistics
SPVC connection statistics display the statistics generated for the originator node, and for an MPG node, it displays the statistics for the border nodes. It will show the number of SPVC connections that are successfully routed, number of connections that are failed, and the number of crankbacks initiated and received.
AXSM-E OAM Enhancements
The AXSM-E OAM enhancements consist of two changes. The first change modified the driver for the AXSM-E card to successfully pass high volume of OAM cells. The second change enhanced the OAM task to better share the node resources with the other cards in the node.
CLI Configurable Access
A new command, cnfcli, has been created to allow administrators to customize the CLI command access levels. An ASCII file with the command names and the corresponding new command access levels is created by an administrator. This file is FTP'ed to the node. This file contains commands for the whole node, irrespective of the card types (one file per system). Then cnfcli is invoked to parse and install the new command access levels.
Controller Card Mastership Sanity Verification
This feature provides checks to validate the hardware mastership states on the active and standby PXM cards. The scope of this enhancement in this release is to detect invalid mastership states, send a trap, and log more information. This feature does not provide any new auto-corrective action when a mastership problem is detected.
Serial Bus Path Fault Isolation
The MGX 8850/8950 currently uses the serial bus for its data path transport. The switching ASICs and Humvee chips on the PXM and Switch Module cards are designed to detect data integrity and chip errors.
When an error is detected on the switching fabric path by either the Service Module cards, or the Switching Fabric card (e.g., PXM45, or XM60) and if the error count exceeds its error threshold, the error is reported to the PXM, and the PXM will take one or more of the following corrective actions:
•
shutdown the humvee/switch fabric link that is reporting errors
•
switch to a standby switching module
•
switch to a standby PXM module
•
reset the active switch module (SM)
Table 1 summarizes the enhancements made in this firmware release in isolation and recovery procedures:
Cell Bus Path Fault Isolation and Recovery
The service modules and the controller cards use the Cell Bus for almost all the inter-card communication. One aspect of inter-card communication involves the active controller card periodically polling the service modules to detect service module failures. So, any failure to use the Cell Bus results in major failure in the system. In Release 3.0.20, the firmware has been enhanced to offer better procedures for detection, isolation and limited recovery from the failure of the hardware components that are specific to using the Cell Bus path.
The Cell Bus Path fault is isolated to the PXM if its polling of all Service Modules and the standby controller card in the node fails. Once the fault is isolated to the active PXM, the Active PXM is reset to initiate a switchover and recover from the failure.
Enhancements
The product enhancement requests (PERs) in Table 2 were introduced in Release 3.0.20.
Service Class Template File Information
There are no new SCT files for Release 3.0.20.
