Notes: DSLAMs running firmware versions prior to
2.1.0 have to be upgraded with the BS2600_REVA_020311.bin file, before upgrading to a
later build. Otherwise the Download will fail.
DSLAMs with Revision –A processors with firmware 2.1.0 or
later use file BS2600_ALL_020311.bin
DSLAMs with Revision –B processors with firmware 2.1.0 or
later require a two step upgrade first load file BS2600_ALL_020300.bin. Then
load BS2600_ALL_020311.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.

Issues

Unresolved
Issues
Problem |
Description |
PDNaa19239 |
Traffic should never leak between VLANs. The multicast implementation
causes multicast traffic to "leak" between VLANs.. |
PDNaa17793 |
MLPPP: Unable to transfer user
data when short sequence number is not equal between the devices Unable to transfer user data over
the mlppp bundle when the setting of the short sequence number is not equal
between local and remote mlppp devices.This option is configured from the
Configuration->MLPPPBundles screen.
|
PDNaa17879 |
MLPPP: LCP negotiation will
not complete after stopped LLB. Two DSLAMs in back to back
configuration, some PPP ports will not accept their LCP negotiation after
terminated LLB on a T1E1 port. |
PDNaa18400 |
Lost Margin Issue After some time line margin
starts decreasing rapidly all of a sudden. At first glance it looks like
impulse noice. Sometimes all margin is lost and the line retrains. Sometimes
the "normal" margin recovers, until the cycle begins over. |
PDNaa18767 |
Reach dsl ports retrain again
after being administratively disabled |
PDNaa18982 |
ADSL ports trying to train
with no CPE attached |
PDNaa18993 |
IGMP snooping not working
properly when Unknown MCast set to drop Scenario: Two PCs running
video on ports 4 and 12 and the multicast stream being supplied on eth2. With
igmp snooping enabled, and all ports set to Unknown MCast flood, the join and
leave from the video work normally and the intended streams are received at
the PCs. When the dsl ports is set to drop and leave eth2 to flood, the joins
and leaves from video do not make it to the igmp circuitry. When I have the
dsl ports set to flood, and eth2 set to drop, the video joins and leaves are
being processed normally but the multicast stream is being blocked from
getting downstream. |
PDNaa19163 |
With Access List enabled you
can delete the only entry With the Access control list
enabled you can delete the only entry that has access to the box. Which
causes you to lose mgmt access.
The only way to recover is via the console or to reboot unit. |
PDNaa19260 |
Cannot pass OSPF or RIP
multicast protocols |
PDNaa19332 |
ADSL: MIB Walks on SELT and/or
DELT timeout sometimes A MIB walk on the pdnAdslSeltTable
and/or pdnAdslLineExtTable intermittently stall and timeout. |
PDNaa19381 |
MLPPP: SNMP Walk fails in the
pdnPppMlBundleStatusTable |
PDNaa19397 |
SHDSL: Attainable Rate always
reporting "0". |
PDNaa19408 |
MLPPP bundle recovery time takes
too long after loss of a link |

5. Compatibility with other Released Models
Notes: DSLAMs running firmware versions prior to
2.1.0 have to be upgraded with the BS2600_REVA_020311.bin file, before upgrading to a
later build. Otherwise the Download will fail.
DSLAMs with Revision –A processors with firmware 2.1.0 or
later use file BS2600_ALL_020311.bin
DSLAMs with Revision –B processors with firmware 2.1.0 or
later require a two-step upgrade first load file BS2600_ALL_020300.bin. Then
load BS2600_ALL_020311.bin
Upgrading 1.0 f/w and 2.0 f/w to 2.3 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 are used on the GigE MAUI cards. 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 greater than 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_0203xx.bin and BS2600_ALL_0203xx.bin. Any DSLAM running either a 1.0 or 2.0 build, must download the BS2600_REVA_0203xx.bin file first. Once this version is loaded on the DSLAM, then any subsequent BS2600_ALL_0203xx.bin files may be loaded.
CAUTION: A change was made
to the 4200/2600 boot code that 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 panel 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 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.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.

-name Configure an alias for a DSL Bonding Group.
-show Show the configuration for the specified DSL Bonding Group Id.

configure interface dsl-bonding 1 create <port-id> <alarm profile>
-<port-id> This is a DSL port range to be included in the DSL Bonding group. (et 1-6, or 7-12, 13-18, or 19-24). Due to hardware architecture
a maximum of 6 DSL ports can be in one DSL Bonding Group. To have 6 DSL ports in one DSL Bonding Group the lowest number port must be
1, 7, 13, or 19. Also, the port range can not span across ports 6-7, 12-13, or 18-19. Hence, a port range of 5-8 is invalid since it crosses ports
6-7.
Example:
configure interface dsl-bonding 1 create 1-6 DEFVAL
