Restrictions and cautions Restriction 1 [Configuration management] Do not perform any configuration within one minute before an active/standby switchover because the configurations might be lost after the switchover. Restriction 2 [Tunnel] IPv6 addresses that begin with 2002 can only be used on 6to4 tunnels. Use of such addresses on other types of tunnels causes forwarding problems. Restriction 3 [QoS] Make sure the CBS and EBS configured for CAR are larger than the maximum packet size.
Restriction 12 [IRF] The BFD MAD VLAN must not have physical loops or be configured for any services other than BFD MAD. Restriction 13 [Enhanced IRF] In enhanced IRF mode, the following requirements must be met: Each IRF member switch must have two MPUs. The IRF fabric uses a ring topology. The downstream switch must have one link to each IRF member switch and aggregate these links in an aggregation group.
Open problems and workarounds None. List of resolved problems Resolved problems in 12500-CMW710-R7129 TCD003126 Symptom: On an IRF fabric that acts as an ED device in an EVI network, if an EVI link goes down and then recovers because of IGP flapping when a master/subordinate switchover occurs, the ED device might not send its MAC address to the peer device within three minutes. As a result, the peer device cannot learn the MAC address and fails to communicate with the ED device.
Resolved problems in 12500-CMW710-R7125 None.

upgraded from 1 GB to 4 GB of SDRAM by using two memory upgrade kits (2 x JC609A). If required, 1 GB CF cards (JC684A) are available for purchase. If an upgraded JC072A needs to be returned for repair, be sure to retain the upgrade parts for use in the replacement unit. Due to physical memory limits, interface cards with 512 MB memory do not support ISSU, and the interfaces on each of these interface cards can be assigned to only one MDC.

Category Features Card hot swapping Switching fabric module redundancy Active/standby switchover Inline hot fix High availability GR VRRP, VRRPE BFD for VRRP/BGP/IS-IS/RIP/OSPF/static routing IP FRR ISSU Appendix B Upgrading software The software image files used on the 12500 switch series include the Comware images, BootWare image, MBUS image, power supply monitoring image, and fan monitoring image. Basic Comware images include the system image and the boot image.
If you are migrating from Comware V5 to Comware V7, use the separate .bin system and boot image files. If you are upgrading from one Comware V7 release to another, you can use the .ipe package file. The switch supports Comware image redundancy: main and backup. The switch always attempts to load the main Comware images at startup. If a main Comware image is not available or corrupted, the switch attempts to load the backup Comware images.
Figure 1 Console connection for local upgrade Upgrading from the CLI without using ISSU You can upgrade the Comware software from the CLI through TFTP or FTP. Using TFTP to upgrade software This section describes how to upgrade system software by using TFTP. Backing up the running system software image and configuration file 1. Use the save command in any view to save the running configuration. save The current configuration will be written to the device.

Upgrading from the BootWare menu You can use the following methods to upgrade software from the BootWare menu: Using TFTP/FTP to upgrade software through an Ethernet port Using XMODEM to upgrade software through the console port TIP: Upgrading through an Ethernet port is faster than through the console port. Accessing the BootWare menu 1. Power on the switch, and you can see the following information: System is starting...

3. Enter 0 to return to the BootWare menu, and then enter 1 to reboot the system. Using XMODEM to upgrade software through the console port XMODEM download through the console port is slower than TFTP or FTP download through an Ethernet port. To save time, use TFTP or FTP as long as possible. 1. Enter 2 in the BootWare menu to access the serial submenu.

2. If you are using the console port for file transfer, check the HyperTerminal settings (including the baud rate and data bits) for any wrong setting. 3. Check the file transfer settings: If XMODEM is used, you must set the same baud rate for the terminal as for the console port. If TFTP is used, you must enter the same server IP addresses, file name, and working directory as set on the TFTP server.
