Upgrading Firmware When Single Active Card And Y-Cable Is In Use - Cisco BPX-BXM-155-8DX Installation And Configuration Manual

Appendix A Upgrade Information
Table A-3
Configuration/Features
Single Active Card
Configuration: if the firmware
is upgraded from 9.1 to 9.2, no
mismatch will occur.
Single Active Card
Configuration: if the firmware
is downgraded from 9.2 to 9.1,
mismatch will occur if the 9.2
feature has been configured.
Y-cable configuration with the
Primary Card running 9.1
firmware and the Secondary
Card running 9.2 firmware: the
Primary Card will mismatch if
the 9.2 feature has been
configured.
Y-Cable configuration with the
Primary Card and the
Secondary Card running 9.2
firmware: no mismatch will
occur and the 9.2 features are
available to be configured.
Y-cable configuration with the
Primary Card running 9.2
firmware and the Secondary
Card running 9.1 firmware: the
Secondary Card will mismatch
if the 9.2 feature has been
configured
VSI 1.0 is supported in Release 9.1 switch software and Release 9.1 BXM firmware. In Release 9.2,
VSI 1.0 will not be supported in switch software. You must upgrade firmware before switch software
can support VSI 2.0. (Refer to 9.2 Release Notes for firmware and hardware requirements to use VSI
2.0 and VSI 2.2.) Release 9.2 switch software will mismatch BXM cards that have VSI 1.0 supported
when the VSI feature is configured.
If BXM cards are configured for Y-cable redundancy and the cards do not support the same feature sets,
if the feature is not enabled, the cards will not mismatch. If you attempt to enable the Y-cable
redundancy feature, it will be blocked at the command line interface.
