Initial Release


1. Feature Enhancements / Functional Changes

Adds new management features in firmware 02.02.06:
1. Management Access Lists.
2. ARP Table Enhancements including adding and deleting ARP table entires.
3. Management Entities - Enable or disable SNMP, Web, or Telnet to the box and enable the access list based on a service.                                 4.Periodic ARP to refresh RedBack ARP Table for Management.

Notes: DSLAMs  running firmware versions prior to 2.1.0 will need to be upgraded with file BS2600_REVA_020208.bin first before upgrading to later builds. Otherwise the Download will fail.

 

DSLAMs with firmware 2.1.0 or later use file BS2600_ALL_020208.bin


This build may upgrade the unit's bootrom. Customers should not power cycle the unit while a firmware switch is in progress. The bootrom update may take 5-10 minutes.

This build does not support 4821 Express!


2. Resolved Customer Issues

Problem

Description

 

Resolved in release 02.02.08

PDNaa18847

DSLAM responds to IGMP Query from Endpoint

 

If the IGMP Querier is specified, the unit will not accept IGMP queries from any other port. If Auto-Detect is enabled, IGMP Queries will be accepted.

PDNaa18791

CLI: Profile name display extra characters

 

When issuing the command "sh int dsl-profile-line tim", two additional characters are displayed in the name field. Profile DEFVAL is displayed correctly, profile "tim" displays "timOR".

PDNaa18462

Customer wants added functionality when specifying igmp querier intf

 

Changed behavior of igmpSnooping to drop any queries received on any port other than the Configured Query Interface. This only takes effect if Auto Detect is off. Any query received will first be checked against the configured port. If it does not match and Query Interface Auto Detect is off, the packet is droppedThis will prevent Queries from the other ports from being sent into and flooding the network.

 

PDNaa15181

4229 Inband Mgmt stop responding

 

Resolved in release 02.02.06

PDNaa18706

4224: PPP Mode not passing traffic.

 

The 4224 DSLAM configured for PPP over one T1 line to a Cisco 7200 router not able to ping between the router and IB mgmt despite having the PPP session established between the DSLAM and router.

 

PDNaa18266

Web Interface Security Issue.

 

When authenticating with the web interface if username/password fields are left blank using the Mozilla/Firefox browser, read-only authorization is given.

 

PDNaa18273

Changing VCCs on SHDSL unit with traffic queued causes error messages

 

PDNaa18467

SHDSL DSLAM stops passing traffic if port is not in Default VLAN

 

PDNaa18209

4279 Web Interface: Error when selecting front panel

 

The DSLAM reports iFindex does not exist when selecting front panel or logging into the DSLAM via the web.

PDNaa18646

Attainable Rate not reported in DSL Performance as was the case in previous firmware. However, Attainable Rate still reported in CLI.

PDNaa18652

4279 Web Intf: Front Panel Display Issue

 

DSLAM was configured for 8-Wire mode on port 1 and 5. The Web interface front panel display only reported ports 1&2 and 5&6 as up.

5. Compatibility with other Released Models

4200 IP / BS2600 with pre 2.1.XX firmware will need to use the filename BS2600_REVA_020208.bin
4200 IP / BS2600 with firmware that is already at the 2.1.16 will need to use the filename BS2600_ALL_020208.bin

 

Upgrading 1.0 f/w and 2.0 f/w to 2.1 The 2600/4200 dslams have been using a Rev A Wintegra part through the 1.0 and 2.0 firmware life cycles. The firmware builds for 1.0 and 2.0 have been anywhere from 3.6MB to 4.6MB in size. Because Wintegra is discontinuing the Rev A part, a Rev B part started being used on the MLPPP MAUI cards and will start being used on the GigE MAUI cards in the near future. The Rev A and Rev B parts cannot run the same driver code so a dual firmware image had to be created to support both versions of the Wintegra part in the 2.1 f/w baseline. These dual image files are 10MB in size. The 1.0 and 2.0 f/w builds do not know how to handle the dual image file so two versions of the 2.1 f/w builds are produced. They are in the form of BS2600_REVA_0201xx.bin and BS2600_ALL_0201xx.bin. Any dslam running either a 1.0 or 2.0 build, must download the BS2600_REVA_0201xx.bin file first. Once this version is loaded on the dslam, then any subsequent BS2600_ALL_0201xx.bin files may be loaded.


CAUTION: A change was made to the 4200/2600 boot code which is incorporated into build 2.00.13 and later. When new boot code is involved in the f/w upgrade process, the upgrade takes considerably longer than it normally does. From the time the switch to the new f/w is performed, customers should expect at least a 5-10 minute period before the unit is finished with the upgrade. While the upgrade is taking place, it appears from the front of the unit that nothing is happening. Due to the longer upgrade period, it may cause confusion and the unit is power cycled during the upgrade of the bootrom. If this occurs, the unit will not boot again and would need to be returned to the factory. There is no way to recover from this in the field.


This code is being released only for the models listed in the table above (SHDSL, REACH DSL, ADSL2, ADSL2+ and MLPPP).Proper operation of this code has not been verified.


This code contains protection to prevent downloading incorrect firmware to the unit. The SHDSL platform will not allow downloading of any f/w file older than 2.0.0. The ADSL2+ annex A platform will not allow downloading of any f/w file older than 1.1.0. The ADSL2+ annex B platform will not allow downloading of any f/w file older than 2.0.0. New build units with the rev B GigE MAUI card will not allow code older than 2.01.19 to be loaded.


This code will migrate the configuration from the 1.0.X and 1.1.X code sets and will create a DSL line profile table that may look somewhat different. The older code platforms did not support line profiles so the migration from individual DSL port settings to a profile table was accomplished as follows. After upgrading, the line profile table will contain 24 profiles which will have the ifIndex numbers (ie 1001001) as the profile names but the config settings in the profile for each port will be left intact as they were before the upgrade. Each one of the line profiles will be assigned to the respective port#. The first time the unit is set to factory defaults, the line profile table will then have only the one DEFVAL profile, which will be assigned to all ports.

 

SHDSL DSLAMs and Globespan 1.5 CPE There has been an issue with the 2600/4200 SHDSL DSLAMs training in adaptive mode to cpe that have Globespan 1.5 or earlier code. This code release allows training in adaptive mode but the max rate for the line profile must not exceed 2312.

 

SHDSL.bis Configuration Notes: All configurations done using 4 port boundaries and the boundaries start on ports 1,5,9,13,17, and 21. In other words, all multiple pair connections must fall within any group of 4. For instance, you should not assign an 8-wire profile to port 3 and have it extend across a boundary into the next group of 4. The rate referred to in this explanation also assumes you are using modems that support extended rates (.bis). Standard rate 2-wire and 4-wire modems may also be used in the mix but be careful of the max rate for Globespan based cpe as stated in the preceding note.

In 4104 Mode: On the first group of four, ports 1-4, you could have; (four-2 wire modems each supporting a rate up to 4104), (two-4 wire modems each supporting a rate up to 8208), (one-6 wire modem supporting a rate up to 12312 and one-2 wire modem on port 4), (one-8 wire modem that supports a rate up to 16416). These rules hold true for the remaining groups of 4. In 5704 Mode: Ports 9-12 and 21-24 are not available and 5704 supports only 2-wire and 4-wire. You could have modems in 2-wire mode on all 16 available ports each getting a rate up to 5704 or you could have eight-4 wire modems on ports 1,3,5,7,13,15, and 17 supporting a rate up to 11408.

 

IGMP Change In code sets 1.0 and 2.0, igmp snooping enable/disable was configurable on a port by port basis. In the 2.1 code, igmp snooping is a global setting (all ports enabled or disabled). During migration from 1.0 or 2.0 to 2.1, if any port is set for igmp snooping enabled, then the global setting will be enabled.
