Hardware software revision

SSM
SSM160 5.5.R1.4.CP404
  • The device now supports an improved mechanism for automatic recovery of the Packet processor internal tables from parity errors
  • Added a new Load-balancing option, which is based on IP packet's TCP/UDP port
  • Supporting monitoring of parity counter
  • Limitation on the amount of VLANs rules on the SSM (refer to sk113267).
5.5.R1.5.CP
  • When working with L4 distribution, the SSM will accept the distribution matrix after SSM reboot
  • Support of Bidirectional 40G transceiver
SSM440 5.5.R5.2.CP
  • GA firmware for SSM440
  • The device now supports an improved mechanism for automatic recovery of the Packet processor internal tables from parity errors
  • Added a new Load-balancing option, which is based on IP packet's TCP/UDP port
  • Supporting monitoring of parity counter
  • Limitation on the amount of VLANs rules on the SSM (refer to sk113267).
5.5.R5.3.CP
  • When working with L4 distribution, the SSM will accept the distribution matrix after SSM reboot
  • Support of Bidirectional 40G transceiver.
5.5.R5.6.CP
  • When working with 1G transceiver on the SSM management ports, after SSM reboot the link will be shown as UP but traffic will not pass.
  • On some cases, there is a traffic latency between the SGM and the SSM when using management ports.
  • On some cases the SSM buffer for CIN traffic is getting fully utilized, causing drops of fragmented traffic between the SGM and the SSM.
CMM
61K N+N / 44K / 64K 3.40-rev4
  • GA firmware for 61K N+N
3.40-rev6.1
  • GA firmware for 64k / 44K
  • Disable CMM HPM2 communication with SGMs
3.70-rev6
  • Support replacement CPU and Memory components on the CMM. Refer to sk138652.
  • Chassis fans sporadically going to max speed. After a few minutes, the speed will go back to normal values.

    This is caused by a bad reading of the fans sensors in the chassis, which cause the CMM to think that they are not rotating. As a response, the CMM sets all fans to max speed.
    The new firmware implements a mechanism that buffers the readings of the fans sensors, when sampled, the buffer median is taken as the sensor value.
SGM
SGM400
 IPMC 1.02
  • GA IPMC firmware for SGM400
IPMC 1.14
  • Communication interruption on the chassis IPMB channels may cause several issues. Refer to sk123571.
