SPE and Firmware Download Enhancements

This document contains the following sections:

Feature Overview

The spe configuration command enables you to download firmware into your modems. When the access server is booted, the spe command controls the location from where the firmware image is downloaded to the service processing element (SPE). An SPE unit is defined as the smallest software downloadable unit. For Microcom, an SPE is an individual modem; for MICA an SPE is either 6 or 12 modems, depending on whether the MICA module is single or double density.

Benefits

The spe command provides the capability to download firmware into your modems. The current setting of the SPE firmware location value is visible through the normal running-config or startup-config.

Restrictions

This command is available in Cisco IOS Release 12.0(4)XI1 or later releases.

Two pieces of information are needed to enter the SPE configuration mode:
The show spe version command will deliver both bits of information. If show spe version is not available, then use show modem mapping.
The following example shows the output from an AS5300 with a single SPE (1/0) when the show spe version command is used:
Router# show spe version
IOS-Bundled Default Firmware-Filename             Version  Firmware-Type

1/0   MICA-DMM   1/0   - 1/11  2.6.2.0    N/A     system:/ucode/mica_port_firmware
 

From this output, you can determine that the SPE range (SPE-#) is 1/0 and the available MICA firmware files are system:/ucode/mica_port_firmware (2.6.2.0) and flash:pw2621.ios (2.6.2.1).

If you don't have show spe version as an available command option, then use show modem mapping to get the following output:

Router# show modem mapping

Determine the SPE range from the slot and module information---Slot 1 is the MICA carrier and Module 0 in it is populated, so the SPE is 1/0. The files are listed above.

Configuration Tasks

Perform the following tasks to download the firmware.

Configuring for the spe Command

Step Command Purpose

1 . 

configure terminal

Enter the global configuration mode.

2 . 

spe {slot | spe_begin} {slot | spe_end}

Enter the SPE configuration mode. For AS5200s and AS5300s, use slot/spe to indicate the spe_begin and spe_end. For AS5800s, use shelf/slot/spe.

3 . 

firmware location {system | flash}:filename

Specify the location from which you will be downloading your firmware. If the firmware to be used is bundled with the IOS image, specify the path (/ucode/filename) instead of only the filename.


Note The spe command is a configuration command---save it by using the write memory command; otherwise, the configuration is not saved and the specified firmware will not download after the next reboot.

spe Command Firmware Download for the Cisco AS5200 and AS5300

The copy {flash | system | tftp} modem command will no longer be available for MICA portware and 56K Microcom modem firmware download beginning with Cisco IOS Release 12.0(4)XI1 and later releases. An error message appears if you enter this command---the system displays a prompt for you to use the new spe command.

Step 1 Enter the spe command and subcommands, one configuration command per line.

The following output shows an SPE download for Slot 1 SPE 5 with firmware---mica_port_firmware---that was bundled with the IOS image.

    Router# configure terminal
    Router(config)# spe 1/5 1/5
    Router(config-spe)# firmware location system:/ucode/mica_port_firmware
    Router(config-spe)# ^Z
     
    

Step 2 Copy the configuration from NVRAM into running RAM:

    Router# copy running-config startup-config
     
    

Download occurs when the modems become available and according to the SPE firmware upgrade option defined (default: busyout). The spe command generates NVRAM modem download and configuration file entries as well.


Note Microcom V.34 modems and AS5200 V.110 terminal adapter modules must continue using the copy {flash | system | tftp} modem command. Entering the spe command displays a message of it not being supported. On boot up, because these modems do not require download, the command displays the location of the firmware as "feature_card_flash". For example:
spe 1/0 2/23
firmware location feature_card_flash

Microcom spe Command Firmware Download for the Cisco AS5200 and AS5300

For 56K systems running Cisco IOS Release 12.0(4)XI1, 12.0(5)T, and later releases, the new spe command is available for firmware download.


Note If you enter the copy {flash | system | tftp} modem command on a 56K system, an error message appears, and the system displays a prompt for you to use the new spe command.

To download modem firmware by using the spe command, do the following steps:

Step 1 Enter the spe command and subcommands, one configuration command per line.

The following example shows an SPE download for Slot 1 (that is, all modems on the feature card). The modem code resides on the Flash memory, and the modem code filename is mcom-modem-code.5.2.30.bin.

    Router# configure terminal
    Router(config)# spe 1/0 1/23
    Router(config-spe)# firmware location flash:mcom-modem-code.5.2.30.bin
    Router(config-spe)# ^Z
     
    

Step 2 Copy the configuration from NVRAM into running RAM:

    Router# copy running-config startup-config
     
    

Download occurs when the modems become available and according to the SPE firmware upgrade option defined (default: busyout). The spe command generates NVRAM modem download and configuration file entries as well.

SPE Range Description

Troubleshooting

To troubleshoot the SPE function, use the following information:

V.34 modems can only use the copy command and will not support the spe commands:

Router(config)# spe 2/12 2/14
Router(config-spe)# firmware location flash:mcom-fw-dsp.5.1.9_47.22.bin
Please use 'copy' command, firmware download not supported for this type of SPE 2/12
Please use 'copy' command, firmware download not supported for this type of SPE 2/13
Please use 'copy' command, firmware download not supported for this type of SPE 2/14
 

The following two examples illustrate the copy command showing an error message:

Router# copy system:ucode/mica_port_firmware modem:
Modem Numbers (<slot>/<port> | group <number> | all)? 1/0 1/5
'Copy' command is no longer valid for this type of port hardware, please use SPE configuration command
 
Router# copy flash modem
Source filename [portware.2620.ios]? flash:mcom-fw-dsp.5.1.9_47.22.bin
Modem Numbers (<slot>/<port> | group <number> | all)? 2/7
'Copy' command is no longer valid for this type of port hardware, please use SPE configuration command

Command Reference

This section documents new and modified commands. All other commands used with this feature are documented in the Cisco IOS Release 12.0 command references.

firmware location

Use the firmware location SPE configuration command to download firmware into the modems. The no form of the command reverts the router back to the system embedded image default.

firmware location {system | flash}: filename

no firmware location {system | flash}: filename

Syntax Description

system

If system is specified, the router loads the firmware from a built-in file within the Cisco IOS image.

flash

If flash is specified, the router loads the firmware from the Flash NVRAM located within the router.

filename

The name of the desired firmware file. If system is specified, enter the path to the filename you want to download.

Default

None.

Command Mode

SPE configuration

Command History

Release Modification

12.0(4)XI1

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

Use the firmware location SPE configuration command to download firmware into your modems. The no form of the command reverts the router back to the system embedded default. When the access server is booted, the firmware location command displays the location for the firmware that is embedded in the IOS image. If the firmware location command was given to download a firmware image from flash and then the no version of the exact command is subsequently given, then the firmware location command will download the embedded firmware in the IOS.

The firmware location command was first supported in Cisco IOS Release 12.0(4)XI1 along with the Resource Pool Management feature (although it can be used independently). For earlier images, use the copy command. For the Cisco IOS Release 12.0(4)XI1 images, the copy {flash | system | tftp} modem command will be disabled for MICA modems and newer versions of Microcom modems (i.e., 56Kbps). Old V.34 Microcom modems still use the copy command for downloading in Cisco IOS Release 12.0(4)XI1 images.


Note This command should be used when traffic is low because the firmware location download will not begin until the modems have no active calls. Otherwise, use the firmware upgrade command to customize the scheduling of modem downloads for your needs.

Note The firmware location command is a configuration command---if you do not save it using the write memory command, then the configuration will not be saved; hence, the downloading of the specified firmware will not occur after the next reboot.

Examples

Examples of firmware location SPE configuration commands:

The following examples show downloads of firmware that was not bundled with the IOS image:

spe 1/2 1/4
 firmware location flash:portware.2620.ios
spe 2/2 2/8
 firmware location flash:mcom-fw-dsp.5.1.9_47.22.bin
spe 2/12 2/23
 firmware location feature_card_flash
 

The following examples show downloads of firmware that was bundled with the IOS image:

spe 2/9 2/9
 firmware location system:/ucode/microcom_firmware
spe 1/5 1/7
 firmware location system:/ucode/mica_port_firmware

Related Commands

Command Description

firmware upgrade

Specifies the method in which the SPE will be downloaded.

firmware upgrade

Use the firmware upgrade SPE configuration command to modify the way in which the SPE will be downloaded. The no form of the command reverts the SPE back to the default SPE firmware upgrade option: busyout.

firmware upgrade {busyout | recovery | reboot}

no firmware upgrade

Syntax Description

busyout

Starts firmware upgrade immediately. (Default)

reboot

Delays firmware upgrade until reboot.

recovery

Delays firmware upgrade until recovery maintenance time.

Default

busyout

Command Mode

SPE configuration

Command History

Release Modification

12.0(6)T

This command introduced.

Usage Guidelines

This command is for SPEs that contain more than 1 modem.

The SPE firmware location command is designed to integrate all continuous SPE ranges containing the same firmware location. However, the firmware upgrade command will not affect the SPE ranges. As such, all SPEs within the SPE range must have the same firmware upgrade mode or the router will default the upgrade mode to busyout. As such, if you want to upgrade a single SPE within an existing SPE range with a different upgrade mode than is currently configured, you must first change the upgrade mode for the entire SPE range and then change the firmware location for the specific SPE being upgraded.

Furthermore, each time you merge SPE ranges due to configuration changes, verify that the configuration of the SPE firmware upgrade remains effective to what is desired.

Examples

If busyout upgrade is specified, or if no upgrade mode is specified, the SPE modems are set into a "pending download" state when you use the firmware location command on the specified SPE. The "pending download" state prevents any modem in that state to be allocated for new calls until the state is cleared. Modems with active calls remain active for their call durations, but enter the "pending download" state when they terminate. This "pending download" state can only be cleared when the SPE is finally downloaded. When all modems within the SPE are in the "pending download" and no active calls remain on the SPE, the SPE is reloaded. The busyout option is the fastest way to upgrade modems on an active router but can severely impact the router's capacity during the upgrade. This is the default option for the firmware upgrade process:

Router# 
Router(config-spe)# firmware upgrade busyout
 

If reboot upgrade is specified, the SPE modems are not reloaded to the new firmware location until the router is rebooted. The reboot upgrade option is useful for routers which need to have their SPE upgraded and are also going to be rebooted for maintenance. The new firmware can be configured, but will not take affect until the reboot takes place:

Router# 
Router(config-spe)# firmware upgrade reboot
 

If recovery upgrade is specified, the SPE modem are reloaded based on the modem recovery algorithm. The SPE modems are all set into a "pending upgrade" state when you use the firmware location command on this SPE. The "pending upgrade" state continues to allow modems to be allocated to modems for as long as there are active calls on the SPE. Only when no active calls exist on the SPE will the firmware download take place. Furthermore, at the configured "modem recovery maintenance time" (3:00 am), the modem recovery maintenance process will, in a controller fashion, attempt to reload the modems by busying out the modems for a window duration of time to make the download take place. Consult the modem recovery documentation for further details. The recovery upgrade option is the least impacting way to upgrade modems on an active router. Capacity is kept at a maximum. However, this option may take a few days for all modems to be reloaded to the new firmware location:

Router# 
Router(config-spe)# firmware upgrade recovery

Related Commands

Command Description

firmware location

Downloads firmware into the modems from this file location.

modem recovery maintenance time

Specifies the modem maintenance recovery behavior, time of day for the scheduled modem recovery.

modem recovery maintenance window

Specifies the modem maintenance recovery behavior, amount of time for normal recovery to take place.

Default

This function is disabled as default.

Command History

Release Modification

11.2

This command was introduced.

12.0(4)XI1

This command was modified to show SPE features. The "-/-" in the DSP REV field indicates that the spe configuration commands for firmware download are unavailable on that modem.

Usage Guidelines

This command is useful for verifying the version of modem firmware running on the system before or after a modem firmware upgrade. If there is a "-/-" in the DSP REV field, you cannot use the spe configuration commands for firmware download on that modem.

Examples

The following example displays information for modem firmware, which includes modem firmware version, boot code version, controller and DSP code version (56K modem modules only), modem board hardware version, and carrier card information. This particular example displays information for Microcom 56K modem cards (modules 0/0, 2/0, and 2/1) and V.34 cards (module 0/1) installed in a Cisco AS5200.

If the version number is displayed as 0.0.0, verify that out-of-band status polling is functioning.

Fields Descriptions

SPE-#

The slot and port number of the SPE.

SPE-Type

The type of the SPE.

SPE-Port-Range

The range of ports within the specific SPE.

Version

The version of firmware loaded on the SPE.

Upgrade

The method used to reboot the SPE---choices are: busyout (default), reboot, or recover.

Firmware-Filename

This is the name of the firmware. You can use the dir command at the prompt to see what firmware filenames are available.

Firmware-Type

This describes which type of modem is associated with the firmware version.

IOS-Bundled Default Firmware-Filename

This shows which firmware filenames are bundled with the Cisco IOS (system:/ucode)

On-Flash Firmware-Filename

This shows which firmware filenames are on the Flash (flash:)

show spe version Field Descriptions

Related Commands

Command Description

show modem version

Displays version information about the modem firmware, controller, and DSP code (for 56K modems only), and boot code.

spe

Use the spe configuration command to access the SPE configuration mode and control the downloading of firmware into the modems. There is no no version of this command.

spe {shelf/slot/module} {shelf/slot/module}

Syntax Description

shelf/slot/module

Enter the shelf number, slot number, and module number separated by slashes as shown. For Cisco AS5200 and AS5300, enter only the slot/module. To specify a range of modems and if this option is selected as a start point, then use the following variable as an endpoint.

shelf/slot/module

Enter the shelf number, slot number, and module number separated by slashes as shown. For Cisco AS5200 and AS5300, enter only the slot/module.

Default

None.

Command Mode

Global configuration

Command History

Release Modification

12.0(4)XI1

This command was introduced.

12.0(5)T

This document changed to reflect new information on the command.

Usage Guidelines

The spe global configuration command enables the SPE configuration mode. Configure your SPE by specifying a slot and an SPE associated with the slot; or, you can configure a range of SPEs by specifying the first and last SPE in the range. On AS5800 platforms, you must also specify the shelf associated with the slot and SPE.

When the access server is booted, the spe global configuration command specifies the location from where the firmware image is downloaded to the SPE. If the spe configuration command is used to download the firmware from flash memory and then subsequently the no version of the exact command is entered, then the spe command downloads the embedded firmware.

The spe command was first supported in Cisco IOS Release 12.0(4)XI1 along with the Resource Pool Management feature (although it can be used independently). For earlier images, use the copy command on the Cisco AS5200 and Cisco AS5300, and the modem-pool command on the Cisco AS5800. For the Cisco IOS Release 12.0(5)T images, the copy {flash | system | tftp} modem command will be disabled for firmware and newer version of Microcom modems (i.e., 56Kbps). Old V.34 Microcom modems still use the copy command for downloading in Cisco IOS Release 12.0(5)T images. For Cisco AS5800, downloading firmware through the modem-pool command is disabled.


Note Use this command when traffic is low since the spe download does not begin until the modems have no active calls.

Note The spe command is a configuration command---save it using the write memory command, otherwise the configuration will not be saved. If the configuration is not saved, the downloading of the specified firmware will not occur after the next reboot.

Examples

The following example shows the spe command being used from global configuration mode to access the SPE configuration mode for the SPE range from 1/2 to 1/4:

Router# 
Router# configuration terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)# spe 1/2 1/4
Router(config-spe)#
