Usage Guidelines and Restrictions

This section describes the usage guidelines and restrictions for the Catalyst 6000 family ATM module Release 12.1(2)E1"


Note   ATM Release 12.1(2)E1 and later requires that the supervisor engine is running software release 5.3.2 or later. Supervisor engine software release 5.3.1 will recognize the ATM module but does not support it. Do not use Supervisor Engine software release 5.3.1 with ATM release 12.0(5)XS, 12.0(5)XS1, 12.1(2)E1 and later.

    %ATMSSCOP-4-UNMATCHUNIVERSION:(ATM0):rcv non-0 NUU in BeginPdu at UNI  3.0.Please verify peer UNI version. 
    
  The software will recover and negotiate again. No action is required.

  This is an informational message and does not indicate a problem. Ignore this message.
  boot system flash bootflash: image name

  After a reload, the ATM module will be booted with the image name that you have specified.

Software Image Download

This section describes the two methods for downloading a new image to the OC-12 ATM linecard:

    1. To download an image from a TFTP server, at the OC-12 ATM card's console enter the following command: copy tftp bootflash

  You will be asked the following questions:
    Address or name of remote host []? 
    
  Enter the IP address of the TFTP server.

Note   Entering the name does not work.

    Erase bootflash:before copying? [confirm]
    
  Answer yes. This step is necessary due to an issue where autoboot, which is enabled by default, boots the first image in the bootflash. If you do not erase the old image after downloading the new image, the old image will be booted.

    2. To download an image from the supervisor engine PCMCIA card, perform this two-step process.

  You will be asked the following question:
    Erase bootflash:before copying? [confirm]
    
  Answer yes.
  After the image is copied to the bootflash, boot the new image by entering the reload command.

Note   For more information on downloading software images, refer to the Catalyst 5000 and 6000 Family Switches ATM Software Configuration Guide and Command Reference publication.

New Features in Software Release 12.1(2)E1

There are no new features in Release 12.1(2)E1.

The following features will be added in future maintenance releases:

Open and Resolved Caveats in Release 12.1(2)E1

These sections describe the open and resolved caveats in Catalyst 6000 ATM software release 12.1(2)E1:

Open Caveats in Software Release 12.1(2)E1


Note   For a description of caveats resolved in software release 12.1(2)E1, see the "Resolved Caveats in Software Release 12.1(2)E1" section.

This section describes open caveats in Release 12.1(2)E1.

    0x2c) Response Status = P1CMDS_STATUS_NO_BUFS(7) 
    
  Workaround: If you see these messages frequently, we recommend that you dedicate one OC-12 ATM module to LES/BUS traffic to reduce the amount of control and data traffic on any one particular module transmitter. (CSCdp14928)
    %SCHED-3-STUCKMTMR: Sleep with expired managed timer 60B380CC, time 0x1458758 (00:00:00 ago).
     
    
  The LECS failover process will proceed normally. Ignore this message. (CSCdp07319)

Resolved Caveats in Software Release 12.1(2)E1


Note   For a description of open caveats in Release 12.1(2)E1, see the "Open Caveats in Software Release 12.1(2)E1" section.

This section describes resolved caveats in Release 12.1(2)E1:

  The vulnerability, identified as Cisco bug ID CSCdr36952, affects virtually all mainstream Cisco routers and switches running Cisco IOS Release 11.1 through Release 12.1. The vulnerability has been corrected and Cisco is making fixed versions available to replace all affected Cisco IOS releases. Customers are urged to upgrade to releases that are not vulnerable to this defect.
  Workaround: Nullify the vulnerability by disabling the Cisco IOS HTTP server, by preventing access to the port in use by the HTTP server on the affected router or switch, or by applying an access-class option to the service itself. The IOS HTTP server is not enabled by default except on a small number of router models in specific circumstances.
  See http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/ioshttpserver-pub.shtml for the latest complete version of this security advisory. (CSCdr36952)
