Cisco BPX 8600 Series Installation and Configuration
A-10
Consider a situation where a user replaces an active BXM card running Release 9.1 firmware with
an Enhanced BXM card running Release 9.2 firmware (active card). The BXM-E (enhanced card)
has more channels (channels scheduler). However, in this situation, the additional channels on the
Enhanced BXM card cannot be used. To benefit from the additional channels provided on the
Enhanced BXM card, you must put this card in a standby mode.
Mismatches are reported when an old BXM card is replaced with a new BXM card that has different
port group or channel levels (MLCS), even though the old BXM card and the new BXM card have
identical channel numbers.
