16 ExtremeWare 7.0 Release Notes

Overview

This feature is not documented in the ExtremeWare 7.0.0 Command Reference Guide or the ExtremeWare

7.0.0 User Guide.

Features Added or Enhanced in ExtremeWare 7.0.0b61

The following features were added or enhanced in ExtremeWare 7.0.0b61:

• ExtremeWare now supports the following features in a single software image. These features

formerly required you to load a dedicated software image on the MSM64i. Features marked with an

“*” require a separate software image on the module:

— MPLS*

— ATM*

— PoS*

— ARM*

— IS-IS

— T1*

— E1*

— T3*

— VDSL*

— 10 Gigabit Ethernet

• Software signatures: each ExtremeWare image now contains a unique signature. The BootROM

checks for signature compatibility and denies an incompatible software upgrade. In addition, the

software checks both the installed BootROM and software and also denies an incompatible upgrade

(PD2-92081601).

NOTE

ExtremeWare 6.2.2 build 56 is the first ExtremeWare release to incorporate software signatures.

Thus, you must upgrade to ExtremeWare 6.2.2 build 56 before upgrading to later ExtremeWare 6.2.2

builds or ExtremeWare 7.0.

• The error diagnostic messages recorded in the syslog have been modified to provide you with more

information on where data corruption is occurring within the switch. The following 5 categories of

messages are added:

— CPU—corrupted packets destined for the CPU

— DIAG—corrupted packets across the switch backplane

— EDP—corrupted ExtremeWare Discovery Protocol packets in bound to the CPU

— EXT—user traffic is corrupted in packet memory in bound to the switching fabric or I/O module

— INT—user traffic is corrupted in packet memory out bound from the switching fabric or I/O

module

• You can now control the number of BGP routes that are deleted and reinstalled with a new gateway

using the

config ipfdb route-add [clear-all | clear-subnet] command (PD2-103735201):

• You can now configure the link detection level using the

config port <portlist>

link-detection-level <link detection level>
