Introduction
The Catalyst 8540 is a 13-slot, modular chassis with optional dual, fault-tolerant, load-sharing AC or DC
power supplies.
The Catalyst 8540 MSR switch router provides a 20-Gbps full-duplex nonblocking switch fabric with
switched ATM connections to individual workstations, servers, LAN segments, or other ATM switches
and routers using fiber-optic, unshielded twisted-pair (UTP), and coaxial cable.
The Catalyst 8540 CSR switch router belongs to a class of high-performance Layer 3 switch routers and
is optimized for the campus LAN or the intranet. The Catalyst 8540 CSR switch router provides both
wirespeed Ethernet routing and switching services.

OL-14458-01
System Requirements
If you have an 8-MB boot Flash SIMM, and have no additional memory installed, we recommend that
you order a spare Flash PC card programmed with the latest version of the system image.
Note
We recommend that you use a San Disk 48-MB PC Card to download and store a copy of the switch
router software image. This allows you to store two or more images at the same time.
A Flash PC Card must be ordered as a spare part. See Table 1 for part numbers. For information on
upgrading a Flash PC Card, see the “Upgrading a PC Card” section on page 4. For more detailed
information on Flash PC Cards, refer to the “Configuring the Route Processor” chapter of the Layer 3
Switching Software Feature and Configuration Guide.
Alternatively, you can use one of the following options to accommodate the larger image:
•
Note
Option 1 – If you already have a Flash PC card, download the system image to the Flash PC card.
If you have a Smart Modular, Sharp, or Intel 2+ Flash PC card that was formatted using a Cisco IOS
software release prior to 12.0(4a)W5(11a), reformat it with Cisco IOS Release 12.1(26)E8 prior to
downloading the image (you might need to boot the image from a TFTP server to format the PC Flash
card). Do not erase the system image on the boot Flash SIMM. If the procedure fails, you will need it to
recover. (See caveat CSCdm47012 for more information.)
Then do the following:
– Enter the config-register 0x2102 global configuration command to change the configuration
register to boot from the Flash PC card, instead of booting from the system-code SIMM
(default).
– Enter the boot system slot0:filename global configuration command to specify the system
image to boot on the Flash PC card.
– Enter the copy system:running-config nvram:startup-config privileged EXEC command to
save the configuration changes to NVRAM.
An example follows:
Switch(config)# config-register 0x2102
EHSA:Syncing confreg: 256 to secondary
Switch(config)# boot system slot0:cat8540m-wp-mz.121–x.e
Switch(config)# end
Switch# copy running-config startup-config
•
Option 2—Download the system image to a TFTP server and boot the system image from the TFTP
server. Enter the boot system tftp filename ip-address global configuration command to boot the
system image from the TFTP server, instead of booting from the system-code SIMM (default).
An example follows:
Switch(config)# boot system tftp cat8540m-wp-mz.121–x.e 172.20.52.3
Note
Note
You can boot only the primary route processor from a TFTP server, not the secondary.
The boot ROM on the Catalyst 8540 MSR can be field-upgraded via the reprogram command. For more
information about upgrading the boot ROM, refer to the ATM and Layer 3 Switch Router Command
Reference.

System Requirements
For more information about downloading system images and changing the default boot image, refer to
the “File Management” chapter of the Configuration Fundamentals Configuration Guide in the
Cisco IOS software documentation set.
Upgrading a PC Card
This section describes how to upgrade to a SanDisk 48-MB PC card. PC upgrade cards are available in
48-MB.
Note
You need Cisco IOS Release 12.1(5)EY or higher and rommon version 12.0(14)W5(20) or higher to
upgrade to the SanDisk PC card. If you do not meet these minimum version requirements, the SanDisk
PC card will not work.
To upgrade the PC card, follow these steps:
Step 1
Load the switch with the latest Cisco IOS release image using any of the upgrade methods (for example,
tftpboot).
Step 2
Once the switch is up and running, use the copy command to copy the rommon image to the boot Flash
SIMM.
Step 3
Reprogram the rommon image using the reprogram command.
Example
The following example shows the rommon being reprogrammed:
switch# reprogram bootflash:<rommon-image-name> rommon
Step 4
Load the switch with the latest Cisco IOS release image again.
Step 5
Enter the format command to format the PC card. It is now ready for use.
Example
The following example shows the format command being entered on slot 0:
switch# format disk0:

Upgrade and Downgrade Notes
Following are some issues that you should be aware of during upgrade or downgrade of the Cisco IOS
software for the Catalyst 8540 MSR:
Note
The procedure used to upgrade and downgrade a Catalyst 8540 MSR is available on the following:
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/121/8540redundancy.shtml.
1.
When a Frame Relay connection traffic table row (CTTR) index is created using the CLI a
corresponding ATM CTTR is also created automatically by the switch and the MBS value (in the
internally created ATM CTTR) is calculated using the Bc value configured on the Frame Relay side.
However, the ATM CTTR can also be created using the CLI and then associated with a Frame Relay
CTTR. If you create the Frame Relay CTTR and associated it with the manually created ATM
CTTR, during an upgrade of Catalyst 8540 MSR from Cisco IOS release 12.1(12c)EY to the release
12.1(13)EB, manually created ATM CTTR association will not be in effect on the new primary
Route Processor (after switchover). Instead, an ATM CTTR (with random index) corresponding to
Frame Relay CTTR is recreated with an MBS value generated from the Bc value configured on the
Frame Relay side. This means, after upgrade, if manual association of ATM CTTR to Frame Relay
CTTR is required, it needs to be redone (by deleting the existing Frame Relay CTTR and then
recreating it with manual association of an ATM CTTR).
2.
When the Catalyst 8540 MSR is downgraded from release 12.1(13)EB to any lower version, ATM
CTTRs having packet-discard enabled and ATM VCs associated with CTTRs having packet-discard
enabled are lost. This is because, during an upgrade if release 12.1(13)EB is running on the primary
Route Processor and some lower version is running on the secondary Route Processor, the ATM
CTTR (having packet-discard enabled) information are not synced to the secondary Route
Processor. And if Route Processor switchover is done to complete the downgrade the ATM CTTRs
having packet-discard enabled are lost along with the ATM VCs associated with these ATM CTTRs.
3.
When the Catalyst 8540 MSR is downgraded from release 12.1(13)EB to any lower version (in the
12.1 train), Frame Relay CTTRs having non-default frame size and Frame Relay VCs associated
with Frame Relay CTTR having non-default frame size are lost. This is because, during an
downgrade if release 12.1(13)EB is running on the primary Route Processor and some lower version
is running on the secondary Route Processor, the Frame Relay CTTR (having non-default frame
size) information are not synced to the secondary Route Processor. And if Route Processor
switchover is done to complete the downgrade, Frame Relay CTTRs having non-default frame size
are lost along with the Frame Relay VCs associated with these Frame Relay CTTRs. However, the
Frame Relay VCs will not be removed from the firmware. But, traffic flow through those VCs
STOPS at the ATM leg (including that of psuedo port) is NOT present in the hardware for all Frame
Relay VCs after downgrade. To recover from this problem, use the hw-module slot/subslot reset
command and recreate the lost Frame Relay CTTRs and Frame Relay VCs.

OL-14458-01

Upgrade and Downgrade Notes
4.
Frame Relay CTTR could be configured with Bc/Be less than Frame Size before release
12.1(13)EB. With release12.1(13)EB, Bc/Be can not be less than the Frame Relay frame size. Hence
if the Catalyst 8540 MSR, Catalyst 8510 MSR, or a LightStream 1010 is running an image older
than release 12.1(13)EB and if the startup configuration has the Bc/Be value less than 2000 bits (in
older images default frame size = 250 bytes = 2000 bits) and is reloaded and rebooted with release
12.1(13)EB, then the following error messages might appear for the primary Route Processor:
% Bc should be greater than Frame-size (in bits).
Any Frame Relay CTTR having Bc/Be less than Frame Size might be lost after reboot.
Also, Frame Relay VCs associated with these CTTRs might cause the following message to appear
when the primary Route Processor is coming up:
%FRATM-3-CONFIG_ERROR:
Invalid rx-cttr
The Frame Relay VCs associated with these CTTRs might be lost after reboot.
Note
5.
Upgrading from Cisco IOS Release 12.1(12c)E or 12.1(12c)EY, using the standard upgrade
procedure, causes the switched connections (transiting or terminating) on the Catalyst 8540 to be
torn down if ILMI keep-alives are enabled on the interface of the Catalyst 8540 and its peer through
which the connections are transiting. The workaround is, before upgrading, disable ILMI keep-alive
on both the ends of the NNI link between the Catalyst 8540 and its peer switch.
6.
When the Catalyst 8540 MSR image is downgraded from Cisco IOS Release 12.1(14)EB to a
software image that does not support 8192 (8k) VCs on the enhanced ATM router module, and the
enhanced ATM router module has more than 2048 (2k) VCs configured at the time of downgrade,
the internal Control VCs from the Route Processor to the enhanced ATM router module and the VCs
between the enhanced ATM router module and other Layer 3 capable ports might not be set up. This
affects the Layer3 and bridging functionality on the enhanced ATM router module. The workaround
is to downgrade with less than 1500 VCs configured on the enhanced ATM router module and then
configure the remaining VCs until the limit is reached. Refer to DDTS CSCin27040 for additional
information.
7.
During an upgrade of the Catalyst 8540 MSR from or to the software versions listed in Table 7, an
ATM interface with tag switching configured might change to the going-down state if an interface
flap occurs after the upgrade.
Table 7
Tag Switching Version Upgrade Matrix
Upgrade from Version
Upgrade to Version
12.1(13)E1 or earlier in 12.1E release
12.1(14)E1 or later
in 12.1E release
12.1(10)EY or 12.1(12c)EY in 12.1EY release
12.1(13)EB or later
in 12.1EB release
Symptom: The interface status remains in going-down state and the interface does not come up.
Workaround: During an upgrade, follow the steps described in the following section, “Revised
Upgrade Procedures.”
If the problem has already occurred, recover by performing a “reload” on the primary route
processor. This initiates a route processor switchover. Once the switchover is complete, the switch
recovers from the problem.
Release Notes for the Catalyst 8540 Switch for Cisco IOS Release 12.1(26)E8, Part 1: System Requirements
38
OL-14458-01
New and Changed Information
Refer to the following DDTSs:
•CSCeb70643—After upgrading to Cisco IOS Release 12.1(19)E, a few of the ATM interfaces
might stay in “going down” state as shown using the show interface atm card/subcard/port
command.
•CSCin63004—During an upgrade of the Catalyst 8540 MSR an ATM interface with tag switching
configured might change to “going down” state if an interface flap occurs after the upgrade.
Revised Upgrade Procedures
Procedure 1:
1.
Disable “tag ip” on all the TAG ATM interfaces (where “tag ip” is configured) before starting
the software upgrade.
2.
Complete the software upgrade using the steps at,
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/121/8540redundancy.shtml.
3.
Enable “tag ip” on all the ATM interfaces (where “tag ip” was disabled) after the software
upgrade.
Procedure 2:
1.
Follow Steps 1 through 3 in the “Step-by-Step Upgrade Process” section at,
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/121/8540redundancy.shtml, to define correct boot variables
(for example, which image to be used in next auto boot).
2.
Cold boot the switch by powering it off and then on again.

This section describes the following Catalyst 8540 restrictions:
•
ACL Daughter Card Restrictions
•
AppleTalk Restrictions
•
VLAN Encapsulation Restrictions
•
ATM Router Module Restrictions

Release Notes for the Catalyst 8540 Switch for Cisco IOS Release 12.1(26)E8, Part 1: System Requirements
46
OL-14458-01
Restrictions
– ACL logging
AppleTalk Restrictions
We recommend that you evaluate the level of CPU utilization and performance in your switch router
before turning on AppleTalk. Unlike IP and IPX, AppleTalk routing and processing in the Catalyst 8540
is accomplished by the switch processor, not the interface module. This means that routing AppleTalk
packets consumes more processing time than routing other protocol packets. In a switch with a sustained
high CPU utilization, turning on AppleTalk could result in longer convergence times for routing
protocols like EIGRP. AppleTalk packet throughput is dependent on the amount of available CPU
processing power.
VLAN Encapsulation Restrictions
The four adjacent ports (such as 0-3 or 4-7) on a 10/100 Fast Ethernet interface must all use the same
VLAN encapsulation, that is, either 802.1Q and native, or ISL and native.
ATM Router Module Restrictions
The Catalyst 8540 MSR ATM router module does not support the following features:
Note
This section is applicable to the Catalyst 8540 MSR switch router only.
•
Appletalk is not supported on the ATM router module.
•
LANE clients are not supported on the enhanced ATM router module.
•
The switch router needs a minimum of 256-MB DRAM to support the enhanced Catalyst 8540 ATM
router module.
•
Point-to-point subinterfaces.
Note
Only point-to-multipoint subinterfaces are supported with Cisco IOS Release 12.1(13)E1.
•
Tag-edged router functionality.

PVC management using ILMI.
•
IP Multicast over RFC 1483 SVCs.
•
Layer 2 ACLs.
Release Notes for the Catalyst 8540 Switch for Cisco IOS Release 12.1(26)E8, Part 1: System Requirements
OL-14458-01
47
Restrictions
•
Half-bridge devices.
EtherChannel Restrictions
When assigning Ethernet interfaces to an EtherChannel, all interfaces must be either Fast Ethernet or
Gigabit Ethernet. You cannot mix Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet interfaces within a single
EtherChannel.
Maximum Path Restrictions for EIGRP or OSPF
Catalyst 8500 interface modules support a maximum of six paths based on the modules and
configuration. To improve EIGRP or OSPF convergence, set the maximum-paths for the router or
switch router using the following command:
8500(config)# router eigrp 109
8500(config-router)# maximum-paths 2
The maximum-paths value can be configured for the following modules:
•
On EPIF based modules: 2 paths supported by default
•
On EPIF based modules: 4 paths supported if you enable EPIF four-path load balancing using the
epc epif-4-path-lbal command in the global config mode.
•
On XPIF based modules: 6 paths supported by default.
Port Snooping Restrictions
•
The snooping source port and destination port cannot be the same port.
•
You can only snoop with one source port and one destination port.
•
Snooping configuration information is not saved in NVRAM.
•
You cannot snoop a port that is part of a bridge group.
Policy-Based Routing Restrictions
The following restrictions apply to policy-based routing (PBR) on the Catalyst 8540 MSR and the
Catalyst 8540 CSR:
•
PBR is supported only on the Enhanced Gigabit Ethernet interface.
•
The IP interface for egress must be supported by the Catalyst 8540 MSR and the Catalyst 8540 CSR.
•
Fast-switched PBR cannot be enabled because the Catalyst 8540 is a line rate switch.
•
When configuring IP QoS to rewrite precedence and PBR to rely on precedence set by an ACL, the
classification for PBR uses the original packet precedence, not the rewritten IP QoS value.
•
Changes in the TCAM space for a PBR region must be specified with the sdm policy size command.
The changes take effect upon reboot. The default PBR TCAM size is 0.
•
The following commands are supported:
– match ip address {access-list-number | name} [...access-list-number | name]
Release Notes for the Catalyst 8540 Switch for Cisco IOS Release 12.1(26)E8, Part 1: System Requirements
48
OL-14458-01
Restrictions
– match length min max
Note
•
The IP packet length range supported in a route map is 0-1535. A maximum of three
non-overlapping length ranges are allowed per interface, including subinterfaces.
The following set command options are supported for PBR:
– ip precedence
– ip next-hop
– interface
– interface null0.
Note
•
Due to platform limitations, the set interface null0 command does not generate an
“unreachable” message.
The following commands are not supported:
– set ip default next-hop
– set ip default interface
•
When you configure a policy to rewrite precedence with a next hop interface, the precedence is
rewritten only when the packet flows via the supported PBR path. If the next-hop is not accessible,
the original precedence is retained since the packet flows via DBR (destination based routing).
8-Port Gigabit Ethernet Restrictions (Catalyst 8540 CSR)
The 8-port Gigabit Ethernet interface module is supported on the Catalyst 8540 MSR and Catalyst 8540
CSR. This section describes limitations of the 8-port Gigabit Ethernet interface module.
Ports Per Bridge Group Restrictions
The 8-port Gigabit Ethernet interface module installed in a Catalyst 8540 CSR can support a maximum
of 128 ports per bridge group.
Port Channel Restrictions
If your Catalyst 8540 MSR or Catalyst 8540 CSR has an 8-port Gigabit Ethernet interface module, you
cannot create a port channel that has some members on that module and some on other modules. All port
channel members must reside on the same Gigabit Ethernet interface module.
Also, if your switch router has an 8-port Gigabit Ethernet interface module, port channel IDs 57 to 64
are reserved, and cannot be assigned to other external interfaces. If you assign a port channel ID number
greater than 56, the system will respond with the following message:
Port channel with ID > 56 cannot be created.
If you have already assigned port channel IDs 57 to 64, you must reassign them before installing an
8-port Gigabit Ethernet interface module.
If your switch router does not have an 8-port Gigabit Ethernet interface module, you can assign port
channel ID numbers up to 64.
Release Notes for the Catalyst 8540 Switch for Cisco IOS Release 12.1(26)E8, Part 1: System Requirements
OL-14458-01
49
Route Processor and Switch Module Redundancy
Restrictions on the Online Insertion and Removal of Interface Modules
The following restrictions apply to the online insertion and removal (OIR), also known as hot swapping,
of interface modules on the Catalyst 8540:
•
Wait at least one minute after removing an interface module before inserting a new one.
•
Do not remove more than one interface module at a time while the device is operational.
•
OIR of the 8-port Gigabit Ethernet interface module is supported in Cisco IOS
Release 12.0(5)W5.13 and later releases.
FPGA Upgrade Restriction
On an 8540, the reprogram command for upgrading the FPGA on the switch processor requires power
cycling the box after completing the FPGA download.
1000BASE-ZX GBIC Restriction
The Catalyst 8540 switch routers support extra long haul (1000BASE-ZX) GBICs. It supports a
maximum of 12 1000BASE-ZX GBICs per system to comply with FCC Class A emissions (CFR 47 Part
15), or 8 1000BASE-ZX GBICs per system to comply with EN55022 Class B emissions (CISPR22 Class
B).
Unicast Reverse Path Forwarding Not Supported
The Catalyst 8540 switch router does not support Unicast Reverse Path Forwarding (uRPF).
Route Processor and Switch Module Redundancy
The Catalyst 8540 supports the use of redundant route processors and switch modules. The second route
processor would be installed in slot 8, and an additional switch module would be installed in slot 6.
Route Processor
There are some precautions that need to be taken before removing a route processor module from a
chassis that is powered-up. If a route processor module that is currently running IOS is removed from
the chassis in a skewed manner such that the left side of the processor comes out before the right side
does, the traffic flowing through the device might stop flowing.
To avoid this, make sure the route processor module that is being removed is currently at the ROM
monitor prompt; it is then safe to remove it from the chassis. One way to get the system into ROM
monitor from IOS is to enter the reload command. This will work if the system is not configured to
auto-boot. If the system is configured to auto-boot, it starts booting IOS again.
Release Notes for the Catalyst 8540 Switch for Cisco IOS Release 12.1(26)E8, Part 1: System Requirements
50
OL-14458-01
Autonegotiation (Catalyst 8540 CSR)
Since you need to ensure that a route processor is in ROM monitor before removing it, the redundancy
prepare-for-cpu-removal command has been added to take the system to the ROM monitor prompt.
Execute this command on the route processor being removed before removing it. Once this command is
issued, the route processor will go to the ROM monitor prompt and stay there even if the system is
configured to auto-boot. At this point it is safe to remove the route processor from the system.
Switch Modules
If a Catalyst 8540 has three switch modules, then by default the switch modules in slots 5 and 7 come
up as active, and the one in slot 6 comes up as the standby. If you wish to change this default, there is a
command that lets you select the “preferred” switch module slots. This command is a privileged exec
level command with the following format:
redundancy preferred-switch-card-slot slot#1 slot#2
Two unique preferred slots must be specified. The range of the slot value is 5 to 7. If one of the preferred
slots is not a currently active switch module, you are informed of this and asked if the system should
change the active switch modules to the preferred switch modules. If such a switchover occurs, all the
active connections in the system will be reinitialized. If you wish to continue, then the preferred switch
modules become active, and the other switch module becomes the standby. This configuration will
remain in effect until either one of the active switch modules is removed.
The preferred switch module configuration is preserved across route processor switchovers. However,
the preferred switch modules setting will be lost if the system is power-cycled or if both route processors
are reloaded to the ROM monitor.
Autonegotiation (Catalyst 8540 CSR)
The autonegotiation feature for speed and duplex on 10/100BASE-T Ethernet ports defaults to “on.” This
means that for each port, the Catalyst 8500 CSR automatically detects the port speed (10 Mbps or 100
Mbps) and duplex of the peer port, if that port also autonegotiates.
To override autonegotiation and set a port to 10 Mbps operation, enter the following command:
(config-if)# speed 10
To set a port to 100 Mbps operation, issue the following command:
(config-if)# speed 100
To set the duplex value for a port to full-duplex, issue the following command:
(config-if)# duplex full
To set the duplex value for a port to half-duplex, issue the following command:
(config-if)# duplex half
Caution
If you connect a Catalyst 8540 CSR switch router running Cisco IOS Release 12.0(5)W5(13) software
to a router or switch running in forced full-duplex mode, you might encounter symptoms such as high
collision rate or reduced throughput, as the Catalyst 8540 CSR unsuccessfully tries to autonegotiate with
the other device. When autonegotiation fails, the Catalyst 8540 defaults to half-duplex operation, which
causes a mismatch between it and the other device. Possible workarounds include forcing the Catalyst
8540 CSR to operate in full-duplex mode or removing the full-duplex command from the other device.

Interoperability
Interoperability
You can use Catalyst 8540 CSR interface modules in a Catalyst 8540 MSR chassis with an MSR route
processor and switch modules. Use only CSR (Ethernet) interface modules, and load the CSR software
image on the MSR.
Incompatibility
When you connect a Catalyst 8540 CSR to a Catalyst 5000 100BASE-FX MM Ethernet interface module
using ISL, ensure that the hardware version on the Catalyst 5000 interface module is 1.3 or higher. You
might experience connectivity problems between the Catalyst 8540 CSR and the Catalyst 5000 if the
hardware version on the Catalyst 5000 Ethernet interface module is lower than 1.3.
Y2K Compliance
The Catalyst 8540 MSR and 8540 CSR systems have been certified as Y2K Compliant. For more
information, see the following URL: http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/752/2000/.
