T1 and E1 IMA Port Adapter functional image name fi-c8510-8t1e1-ima.A.3-2
Text Part Number: OL-0355-01 Rev. A0
This document describes the features and caveats for Cisco functional image fi-c8510-8t1e1-ima.A.3-2, for the T1 and E1 IMA port adapters used with the Catalyst 8540 MSR, Catalyst 8510 MSR and LightStream 1010 ATM switch routers.
This version of the T1 and E1 IMA port adapter functional image fixes the caveat listed in the section "Caveat Symptoms and Workarounds" later in this release note.
This release note includes the following sections:
The Catalyst 8540 MSR, Catalyst 8510 MSR and LightStream 1010 ATM switch routers provide switched ATM connections to individual workstations, servers, LAN segments, or other ATM switches and routers using fiber-optic, unshielded twisted-pair (UTP), and coaxial cable.
The T1 and E1 inverse multiplexing over ATM (IMA) port adapters use IMA technology to aggregate multiple low-speed links into one larger virtual trunk or IMA group. An inverse multiplexer appears to your ATM switch router as one logical pipe. IMA provides you with modular bandwidth to access the ATM network between T1 or E1 and T3 or E3 rates.
This section describes the process you use to determine the existing functional image version installed on your T1 and E1 IMA port adapter.
To display the functional image version in a T1 and E1 IMA port adapter, use the following command in privileged EXEC mode:

Note In the previous show function-image-info command output, the functional version appeared as 3.2 corresponding to the 3-2 string in the file name "fi-c8510-8t1e1-ima.A.3-2." |
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 download cannot be reverted back once the download is started. Do not interrupt the download procedure. Wait until it has finished before attempting any commands on the switch router. Confirm that the download is done in binary mode and check file sizes before and after download. A failure during reprogramming can result in the card being unusable. |
This section contains a listing of the caveats for this T1 and E1 IMA port adapter firmware functional image.
