Catalyst 8540 CSR 10/100BaseT and 100BaseFX interface modules (product number C85FE-16T-16K) and 100BaseFX interface module (product number C85FE-16F-16K) functional image name fi-c8540-epam.A.3-3
This document describes the features and caveats for Cisco functional image, fi-c8540-epam.A.3-3, for the 10/100BaseT and 100BaseFX interface modules used with the Catalyst 8540 CSR.
This version of functional image fixes the DDTS listed in the section "Caveats" later in this release note.
This release note includes the following sections:
The Catalyst 8540 CSR provides Layer 3 switching to a class of high-performance routers optimized for the campus LAN or intranet, providing both wirespeed Ethernet routing and switching services.
A Layer 3 switch router performs the following three major functions:
Compared to other routers, Layer 3 switch routers process more packets faster by using application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) hardware instead of microprocessor-based engines. Layer 3 switch routers also improve network performance with two software functions—route processing and intelligent network services.
This section describes the process you use to determine the existing functional image version installed on your 10/100BaseT and 100BaseFX interface modules.
To display the functional image version in a 10/100BaseT and 100BaseFX interface modules, use the following command in privileged EXEC mode:
| Command | Purpose |
|---|---|
show functional-image-info [slot number | subslot slot/subslot] | Displays the functional image information. |
The following example shows the firmware functional image information in the controller for the 10/100BaseT interface module in subslot 4/0:
switch# show functional-image-info 4/0 ##HardwareRequired : A05(1.0-10,2.0-100,3.0-100,4.0-100,5.0-100,6.0-100) ##FunctionalVersion : fi-c8540-epam.A.3-3 ##Sections : 1 ##Section1Format : MOTOROLA_EXORMAX # PUMA-4CE1 Firmware image # Firmware Image : fi-c8540-epam.A.3-3 # # Chain description: # Part type Bits Config file # XC4010 3 /vob/cougar/custom/sbc_epam_16port/syn_sabercat_fst/sabercat_fst.bit # XC4005 3 /vob/cougar/custom/common/jtcfg/xil/jtcfg_r.bit # Number devices = 2 # Number of instruction bits = 6 # # FPGA config file information: ###End-of-header
Updating to a New Release
For detailed functional image upgrade instructions, see the "Maintaining Functional Images" section in the "Managing Configuration Files, System Images, and Functional Images" chapter of the ATM Switch Router Software Configuration Guide.
 | Caution Functional image reprogramming can not be reverted back once the procedure is started. Do not interrupt the procedure. Wait until it has finished before attempting any commands on the switch. A failure during reprogramming can result in the card being unusable. |
This section contains listings of the caveats for this 10/100BaseT and 100BaseFX interface module firmware functional image.
Use the table to determine if a particular caveat applies to your firmware functional image release, or if a particular caveat was corrected in your firmware image release. These caveats are described in detail in the following section "Open Caveats."
Table 1 lists the known caveats and corrected caveats for the 10/100BaseT and 100BaseFX interface module functional image.

Cisco Connection Online (CCO) is Cisco Systems' primary, real-time support channel. Maintenance customers and partners can self-register on CCO to obtain additional information and services.
Available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, CCO provides a wealth of standard and value-added services to Cisco's customers and business partners. CCO services include product information, product documentation, software updates, release notes, technical tips, the Bug Navigator, configuration notes, brochures, descriptions of service offerings, and download access to public and authorized files.
CCO serves a wide variety of users through two interfaces that are updated and enhanced simultaneously: a character-based version and a multimedia version that resides on the World Wide Web (WWW). The character-based CCO supports Zmodem, Kermit, Xmodem, FTP, and Internet e-mail, and it is excellent for quick access to information over lower bandwidths. The WWW version of CCO provides richly formatted documents with photographs, figures, graphics, and video, as well as hyperlinks to related information.
You can access CCO in the following ways:
For a copy of CCO's Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ), contact cco-help@cisco.com. For additional information, contact cco-team@cisco.com.
Cisco documentation and additional literature are available in a CD-ROM package, which ships with your product. The Documentation CD-ROM, a member of the Cisco Connection Family, is updated monthly. Therefore, it might be more current than printed documentation. To order additional copies of the Documentation CD-ROM, contact your local sales representative or call customer service. The CD-ROM package is available as a single package or as an annual subscription. You can also access Cisco documentation on the World Wide Web at http://www.cisco.com, http://www-china.cisco.com, or http://www-europe.cisco.com.
If you are reading Cisco product documentation on the World Wide Web, you can submit comments electronically. Click Feedback in the toolbar and select Documentation. After you complete the form, click Submit to send it to Cisco. We appreciate your comments.
