Operation changes Operation changes in S7900-CMW710-R2109 None. Restrictions and cautions None. Open problems and workarounds LSV7D008734 Symptom: After an interface is inserted with a cable, the peer interface goes up, and then goes down and up. Condition: This symptom occurs if the inserted cable is 3-meter long. Workaround: Shut down the interface, insert the 3-meter cable to the interface, and then bring up the interface.
Condition: This symptom can be seen if the following procedure is performed: a. Switch STP mode and modify the link cost on a Layer 2 interface. b. Enable RIP on a Layer 3 interface. 201311280121 Symptom: Some traffic is not forwarded through the Layer 3 Ethernet interfaces of the matching multicast forwarding entry.

Appendix B Upgrading software CAUTION: Upgrade software only when necessary and under the guidance of a technical support engineer. Software types The following software types are available: BootWare image—A .bin file that contains a basic segment and an extended segment. The basic segment is the minimum code that bootstraps the system. The extended segment enables hardware initialization and provides system management menus.
Upgrade method Upgrading from the CLI Software type Remarks BootWare image Comware images This method is disruptive. If you are upgrading MPUs, you must reboot the switch to complete the upgrade. If you are upgrading the BootWare image of a card (an LPU or switching fabric module), you must reboot the card. (excluding patches) NOTE: You can upgrade the BootWare of LPUs and switching fabric modules from the CLI only.

NOTE: The switch does not come with FTP or TFTP software. Prepare the software yourself. Upgrading through an Ethernet port is faster than through the console port. Using TFTP to upgrade through the management Ethernet port 1. Connect the management Ethernet port of the switch to the PC that stores the source .ipe file, and connect the console port of the switch to the configuration terminal. The configuration terminal can be co-located with the TFTP server. 2.
