3Com 11.1 manual Bridge Static Routes, DLSw, PROfile Service, SVCs

Upgrade Management Known Issues 33

WARNING: Do not use the bcmfdinteg utility. The bcmfdinteg utility is used internally by the bcminstall utility. The bcmfdinteg utility should not be used by itself, because by default it removes all files from the current directory.

File Conversion This section describes file conversion considerations for APPN, bridge static routes, Considerations DLSw, the PROfile service, and X.25 SVCs.

APPN

APPN file conversion is supported in software version 8.2 and later. Upgrading from software versions prior to 8.2 requires manual configuration.

High Performance Routing (HPR) is a new feature for the NETBuilder bridge/router after software version 8.3. If you use the Upgrade Management Utilities to convert your APPN data file from version 8.3 (or later) to 11.1, be sure to turn on HPR if HPR is desired using:

SETDefault !<port> -APPN PortDef = <DLC type> HPR=yes

Bridge Static Routes

A static bridge route configured with the off option does not convert properly. You must manually reconfigure this route.

DLSw

Initial Bandwidth for Peer is a new parameter for software version 8.3 and later. The default for version 11.0 is 8000. If you use the Upgrade Management Utilities to convert your DLSw data files from version 8.3 (or later) to 11.1, be sure to set the value of the parameter to the desired value using:

SETDefault <tunnel id> -Dlsw PEER = <IP address> <PrioMode> <8000 other

value>

PROfile Service

Software version 8.0 and later includes the PROfile Service. Many parameters that belong to the X25 Service were moved to this service. Because the mapping is not one-to-one, the upgrade utility does not convert all parameters. After upgrading from pre-8.0 version software, delete the X25 Service configuration file and reconfigure the parameters under the X25 Service.

The X25VCLIMIT, X25VCTimer, and X25QueueSize parameters, previously in the network layer protocols services (AppleTalk, DECnet, IP, IPX, and so on), were moved to the PROfile Service. If you configured any of these parameters, you need to reconfigure them.

X.25 SVCs

The default values of the X25 Service parameters have changed from versions of software prior to 8.0. To ensure that call initiation between mixed versions of X.25 software is successful, you must configure the Twoway SVCs parameter on both ends of the X.25 connection to the same value.

Upgrading From Release If you are upgrading a NETBuilder from release 8.3 or earlier, you must disable user

8.3or Earlier verification by specifying the -NA flag on bcmnbrus or Upgrade Link. For example:

bcmnbrus -NA
