Appendix A Upgrade Information
Feature Mismatching
Feature Mismatching
Feature mismatching provides customers a graceful migration path to Release 9.2 features.
Switch software Release 9.1 and previous releases of switch software mismatched cards if the
capabilities in the logical card database did not match exactly the capabilities of the physical card. This
restriction does not allow customers to gracefully migrate their BXM/UXM cards.
The current feature mismatching capability will not mismatch cards unless the actual feature has been
enabled on the card. This allows for a graceful card migration from an older release.
BPX switch software features perform these feature mismatching functions:
•
Command Line Block
The command line interface will block you from enabling the feature if it is not supported by the
logical card.
•
Inserting cards/mismatch checking.
The card will be mismatched only if the feature has been enabled and the inserted card does not
support this feature.
•
addyred
command mismatch checking
If the primary card is active, the
addyred
command will not allow you to configure Y-redundancy
if the secondary card does not support this feature. If the feature is not enabled, and the primary
and secondary cards do not support the same feature sets, you will be warned that the capability
will not function.
Feature mismatch is supported by these BPX switch software features:
•
VSI 2.0
•
Virtual trunking
•
On Card LMI/ILMI
•
APS (Automatic Protection Switching)
•
FBTC with policing for BXM cards that support PPD on policing
•
Multiple VSI Partitions
Refer to the 9.2 release notes for up-to-date information on feature support, and software, hardware,
and firmware requirements.
All configuration commands that enable Release 9.2 features support mismatch verification. For
example:
•
uptrk
: verifies virtual trunking support
•
cnfrsrc/addshelf
: verifies VSI 2.0 support
•
addapsln
: verifies APS support
•
cnfport
: verifies LMI/ILMI support
•
cnfoamlpbk
: verifies OAM Loopback support
•
dspcd: verifies PPD on policing (PPDPolic) support
Switch software provides an upgrade path for each of the Release 9.2 features. Table A-3 below
describes the various scenarios while running Release 9.2 switch software and various versions of
Release 9.1 and Release 9.2 firmware. It also describes the process of upgrading firmware in a scenario
where a single active card and Y-cable is in use.
