Solved: Content Switch software and

niall.doherty · ‎12-11-2007

Hi.

I have a question relating to Content switches software. The sofware code shipped was 08.10.1.06 and I upgraded to 07.50.3.03. The old s/w was then removed.

However when I do a 'show chassis flash' although the it has the correct software it still indicates 08.10.1.06 in the following places:

ALP-CVP-CS01# sh chassis flash

Configuration for CSS11501S-C-K9 G0:

Product Name: CSS11501S-C-K9 G0

SW Version: 07.50.3.03

Serial Number: XXXXXXXXXXX

Base Mac Address: XX-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX

Module Name - CSS501-SCM-INT

Operational - *08.10.1.06

Locked - 08.10.1.06

CSS501-SSL-C-INT

Operational - *08.10.1.06

Locked - 08.10.1.06

** SSL-C(ompression) module not supported with this code version

My question is about the '08.10.1.06' that is showing up. Is this correct/ok or should their be '07.50.3.03' instead? If so what do I need to do?

Thanks,

Niall

Hi Niall,

If you do a "show version" the one really matters is the Version, do not be concern about Locked and Operational, this is expected behavior, so your CSS is actually running 7.50.303

Now let me tell you that what you did was not really an upgrade.

7.50.303 is a newer version than 8.10.106 but is on an older train, so actually it would be better that you move to 8.10.301 which is equivalent to the 7.50 code that you installed.

Two reasons for this:

1. The 7.50 train is not supported by engineering anymore, in other words they are not doing new releases.

2. You have a CSS-SS-C-INIT module (SSL with compression) which is not supported on versions older than 8.10, so you need to have a 8.10 or 8.20 code to support your SSL module.

Hope it helps!!
