Chapter 4 Preparing Service Modules for Communication
Managing Firmware Version Levels for Service Modules
To bring MPSM cards up to the Active/Active status, you must configure an interface type. For
MPSM-8-T1E1 cards, you must also configure a service. For more information, see the “
” section, which appears later in this chapter.
Verifying Card Firmware Version Levels
When you are having problems with your switch, or when you have taken delivery of a new switch but
delayed installation, it is wise to verify the firmware versions installed on the switch. If newer versions
of this firmware are available, installing the updated firmware can prevent switch problems.
To verify the firmware versions in use on your switch, use the following procedure.
Step 1
To display the software revision status of all the cards in a switch, enter the dsprevs command as follows:
M8850_LA.7.PXM.a >
dsprevs
