Description
|
CSCdk72991
|
Symptom:
FRSM-VHS takes several minutes to go active when inserted the first time or after clrallcnf.
Condition:
The delay is due to the creation time of the FRSM-VHS database on the disk. This delay is only introduced the first time the card is inserted or after clrallcnf.
Work around:
Wait for card to go active. The Hot Standby Feature has been introduced for VHS to mitigate this problem. With a hot standby the switchover happens in less than one second.
|
CSCdm89192
|
Symptom:
Oscillation of APS lines on switchcc.

|
CSCdp16642
|
Symptom:
dspln -ds3 command does not work for SRMs in 1.1.11Jd
Conditions:
When the PXM firmware is of a version later than 1.1.11Ja and the PXM back card is not a T3 back card.
Workaround:
Issue the command dsplns -ds3 <slotno> to get the required information.
Further Problem Description:
The problem occurs because of an invalid conditional checking during the display.
|
CSCdm45533
|
Symptom:
Round trip delay test results do not change on changing CDVT for CE-CE connection
Conditions:
1 While adding a connection, the aal1driver added the connection with default CDVT of 1000us. After adding the connection, the CDVT was configured. This effect of CDVT change was felt only after a channel failure
2 When modifying CDVT with cnfcon too, the same problem was found, because of the CBR traffic, the buffer size cannot be changed dynamically without dropping data, hence it was not possible to see the effect of change in CDVT immediately.
Workaround:
1 The first problem can be overcome by using CWM or the xcnfchan command to add a connection with value of CDVT different from the default
2 For dynamic changes in round trip as a result of CDVT changes, a shellConn command is introduced to synchronize the SAR queues. This command would, however, cause a momentary traffic disruption for CDVT to take effect
NODENAME.1.4.CESM.a > dspcons
Line ConnId ChanNum Status CDVT MaxBufSize CLIP
CBRservice
---- -------------------- ------- ------ ----- ---------- ------
------------
1 NODENAME.4.1.0 32 Mod 10000 5120 2500
unstructured
2 NODENAME.4.2.0 33 Mod 10000 5120 2500
unstructured
NODENAME.1.4.CESM.a > shellConn
NODENAME.1.4.CESM.a > SyncChan 32
The command reports an error if it is unsuccessful. It takes channel number (not connection number) as an argument and does range checking for valid channels.

The Connection GUI misreports connection modification in the following scenario: 1. Add a 3-segment connection with PXM UNI endpoints. 2. Modify the SCR on the PXM UNI side to a big number, big enough to exceed the available bandwidth on the feeder trunk side. Also turn on CAC override. 3. Execute the modification. CWM will display a successful result, even though the modification is actually rejected because oversubscription is not allowed on the feeder trunk side.

About the 1.1.12 Release
Release 1.1.12 of the MGX 8850 supports the same network scenarios as Release 1.1.11.
1
Feeder concentration to the BPX 8600 and all other endpoints (no BPX 8600 BNI trunk connections). IGX endpoints are supported in this release using Switch Software 9.2.
The MGX 8850 provides multiservice, high density ATM, Circuit Emulation and Frame Relay feeder concentration to the BPX 8600. The MGX 8850 connects to the BPX 8600 using the feeder trunk protocol over a PXM port. On the BPX 8600 side the feeder connection trunk to the MGX 8850 is supported on the BXM card only. Interoperability support is limited to (a) MGX 8850 to MGX 8850, (b) MGX 8850 to MGX 8220, and (c) MGX 8850 to BPX 8600 (FR to ATM service interworking).
2
MGX 8850 in a Stand-alone Concentrator configuration and full PXM UNI support on all ports.
Stand-alone capability allows the MGX 8850 to act as an edge concentrator to any vendor ATM network which implies service interoperability with other vendor's equipment. All connections for stand-alone are local switching connections.

The MIB is in standard ASN.1 format and is located in the ASCII text files MGX8800Mib.my file which is included in the same directory within CCO. These files may be compiled with most standards-based MIB compilers. For changes in this MIB from release 1.1.11 please refer to the MIB release notes on CCO.
Notes & Cautions
CLI modification and changes:
•
A few modifications have been made to the IP configuration commands. (cnfifip and bootChange) See CLI Change section:
•
the cnfifip command has an additional option to up/down one of the ip interfaces (ethernet, slip, atm) dynamically. No reboot is required to up/down interface. Turned down interfaces are persistent across resets.
•
the cnfifip command is now an active only command
•
dspifip will now display the state of each interface and indicate if it is up or down.
•
bootChange now checks the ip values set and will complain if it detects incorrect values.
•
bootChange values are sent and updated on standby card automatically. Both bootlines are kept in sync.
•
bootChange command is now an active only command from CLI.
•
cnfenetgw command has been added to establish the ethernet gateway route permanently. (command is active only)
•
dspenetgw command will display ethernet gateway address set.
•
A shelf can now either have one or two ip addresses for ethernet. The shelf ip address set using cnfifip will always be the active card ip address. The bootChange ip address will be used for the standby card and backup boot if it is different than the shelf ip address. If the bootChange ip address is same as the shelf ip address then the ethernet interface on the standby card or in backup boot will be left in the down state.
•
If the "255.255.255.252" netmask is used for the SLIP interface, the PXM will automatically add host route for its peer whenever the interface is turned ON
•
If the FW fails to reach the CLI prompt or comes up in backup boot, the ethernet interface could be down if the shelf ip address and boot change address are the same. In this case the bootChange command could be used from the shell to set another ip address and then usrEnetEnable should be called to activate that address. (see example)
•
Commands and Examples
•
cnfifip:
Syntax:
cnfifip "Interface IPaddr [NetMask [BroadcastAddr]]"
or cnfifip "Interface Flag"
Interface -- 26/28/37 (26:Ethernet 28:SLIP 37:ATM)
or Ethernet/SLIP/ATM
IP_Addr -- <n>.<n>.<n>.<n> (<n>: integer 0..255)
Net_Mask -- <n>.<n>.<n>.<n> (<n>: integer 0..255)
BroadcastAddr -- <n>.<n>.<n>.<n>
(<n>: integer 0..255)
Flag -- a string "UP" or "DOWN"
Example:
> cnfifip atm 192.9.200.1 255.255.255.128
This configures the ATM interface and brings it UP.
> cnfifip atm up
This will bring up the ATM interface with current information in database.
> cnfifip atm down
This will bring down the ATM interface and preserve the information in the database.
•
delifip
Syntax:
delifip Interface
Interface -- 26/28/37 (26:Ethernet 28:SLIP 37:ATM) or Ethernet/SLIP/ATM
Example:
> delifip 37
This will bring down the ATM interface and delete the information in the database
•
dspifip:
Example:
Interface Flag IP Address Subnetmask Broadcast Addr
--------------- ---- --------------- --------------- ---------------
Ethernet/lnPci0 UP 172.29.37.77 255.255.255.0 172.29.37.255
SLIP/sl0 DOWN 172.29.36.253 255.255.255.252 (N/A)
ATM/atm0 UP 192.9.200.1 255.255.255.128 0.0.0.0
This command shows the current condition of all 3 interfaces. The data shown for the SLIP interface will apply when it is turned UP with, say, "cnfifip slip on".
•
cnfenetgw
Syntax:
cnfenetgw IPAddr
Example:
This command will set the default gateway and add the appropriate routes necessary to it.
•
dspenetgw
Example:
Enet Gateway: 172.29.37.1
•
bootChange:
Several lines are essential for the network to function:
- boot device : lnPci
(The only Ethernet interface)
- inet on ethernet (e) : 172.29.37.40:ffffff00
(IP address and subnetmask)
- gateway inet (g) : 172.29.37.1
(Default Ethernet gateway)
The PXM will try to correct bad entries when it boots up. This information will be copied to the standby card and if different than the shelf ip address it will up the interface on the standby with the bootChange ip address. The shellconn version of this command only updates the local bootline values and is not copied to the other card.
•
usrEnetEnable:
Used to bring up the Ethernet interface when CLI prompt is not there or in backup boot if it's not enabled
The following commands which are related to FRSM-2CT3 line level loopbacks.
•

•
Inband loopback for DS1 are supported only using bert diagnostics. The status of inband loopbacks are displayed with <dspalm> and <dspalms> commands. It is not displayed with <dspln> command. Before configuring the DS1 line in Inband loopback from bert diagnostics, user should use following command to enable code detection on FRSM-2CT3:
xcnfln -ds1 <lineno> -e 3 -detect 2
•
Ctrl-X has been disabled from resetting PXM on the firmware.
•
This release has the fix to meet the Bellcore jitter specs. The way to fix the jitter problem is having FW to disable the force_signal_detect_enable register and let the optical receiver to control the signal-detect input. The OC3 transmit data jitter now measured is below 0.10UI.
