AGS+ Spares

This chapter provides product numbers for AGS+ spares. These spares offer you the ability to enhance the capabilities of installed systems.

The information in this chapter is organized into the following sections:


Note Documentation for the AGS+ is available in two forms: on a CD-ROM called Cisco Connection Documentation, Enterprise Series (formerly called UniverCD) and printed books. You can request a free copy of the documentation CD when you place an order and have the option of subscribing to a CD update service. A user guide ships with each switch.

You can also access Cisco technical documentation on the World Wide Web URL http://www.cisco.com. For more information, see the chapter "Documentation" at the end of the catalog.


Card Slot Assignments

The AGS+ has nine slots, five of which are part of the ciscoBus (see Figure 161).

The ciscoBus controller card (CSC-CCTL2) is required only when an FDDI, Ethernet (C2MEC), HSSI, or four-port Token Ring card is installed. If a ciscoBus controller is not used, up to seven slots can be used for Ethernet, Ethernet/serial, Token Ring, and serial interface cards.

Controller Cards

The ciscoBus controller card (CSC-CCTL2) is required only when a high-speed Ethernet (MEC), four-port Token Ring (CTR), FDDI, or HSSI card is installed.

The CCTL2 controller card has the following features:


ciscoBus Interface Cards

fig_4.gif

The ciscoBus can support the following card types:

Ethernet is represented in the card name by MEC. MEC cards provide multiple Ethernet ports. The number of ports supported per card varies as indicated in the card name. For example, the CSC-C2MEC2 is an Ethernet card that provides two ports.

The Token Ring card (CSC-C2CTR) supports four Token Ring ports (requires two APP-LTR2 appliques to support all four ports).

The FDDI card (CSC-C2FCIT) provides one FDDI port with translational bridging capability.

HSSI

HSSI is represented in the card name by HSCI. HSCI cards provide one high-speed serial port.

Table 342 lists the AGS+ ciscoBus interface cards. ciscoBus cards require the CSC-CCTL2 controller card.

Multibus Interface Cards

fig_5.gif

The Multibus can support the following card types:

Ethernet is represented in the card name by E. The number of ports supported per card varies and is also indicated in the card name. For example, the CSC-2E is an Ethernet card that provides two ports.

Many cards support several media. For example, the CSC-2E2T supports two Ethernet and two high-speed serial ports.

A low-speed (up to 64 kbps) serial card is indicated by S. A high-speed (up to 4 Mbps) serial card is indicated by T.

The number of ports supported per card varies and is also indicated in the card name. For example, the CSC-1S is a serial card that provides one low-speed port.

Software

Cisco IOS software for the AGS+ is included in the basic price of the system. For example, the Cisco IOS Release 10.0 software product (for example, SW-GA-10.0.8) includes a feature license for standard software (for example, FR-SA-10.0.X). Specific protocols and features are provided through software feature license agreements, which include bridging and packet switching. For example, Frame Relay is covered by a packet-switching feature license. For APPN, you must purchase Enterprise with APPN.

Table 350 provides spare software options for the AGS+, and Table 351 describes software features.


Note Cisco Internetworking Operating System (Cisco IOS) Release 11.0 is the last software release offered for the AGS+.

Recommended Microcode

fig_8.gif

Microcode is card-specific firmware that can be replaced with programmable read-only memory. As new software and hardware features are introduced, the microcode for affected cards must be updated in order to implement new features or to operate with new software.

Recommended microcode levels are dependent on the card and software release level. The most current Microcode Release Note is available on the Cisco Connection Documentation, Enterprise Series CD and CCO. The Microcode Release Note contains the following information:

  • Newest microcode versions for each card

  • Microcode compatibility

  • Minimum required versions for early software releases

  • Minimum microcode for Cisco IOS Software Releases 10.0 and later


AGS+ Worksheet

fig_10.gif

This section helps you enhance an existing AGS+ by adding interface cards. Refer to the "AGS+ Product Considerations" and then fill out the AGS+ Worksheet to determine when to upgrade microcode, how to verify power requirements, and how to optimize card and connector capacity. Note that the section "AGS+ Product Considerations" contains some products that are no longer offered for sale.

To determine the AGS+ components you need, complete these steps:

  1. Fill in your current chassis configuration (including cards, appliques, power, software release, and microcode levels) in the "Current AGS+ System" section of the worksheet.

  2. Enter the new products (cards, software, and appliques) you are ordering in the "Upgraded AGS+ System" section of the worksheet.

  3. Use the information in the section "AGS+ Product Considerations" for power requirements. Enter any power changes in the "Upgraded AGS+ System" section of the worksheet.

  4. Use the information in the Microcode Release Note (available on the Cisco Connection Documentation, Enterprise Series CD) to determine correct microcode versions. Enter any microcode changes in the "Upgraded AGS+ System" section of the worksheet.

  5. Fill in the type and number of appliques for the current and upgraded AGS+ in the "Back Panel" sections of the worksheet. Verify that the number of port connections you need is possible given the type of appliques and connector plate space available.

In the AGS+ sample worksheet, a customer made the following upgrades:

  • Upgraded to Cisco IOS Release 10.0

  • Added a CSC-C2CTR Token Ring card

  • Added the APP-LTR2 applique for the Token Ring card

  • Upgraded from a CSC-FCI card to a CSC-C2FCIT card

After checking the information in the section "AGS+ Product Considerations," the following requirements were noted in the "Upgraded AGS+ System" section of the sample worksheet:

  • The CSC-C2CTR Token Ring card requires a new controller, the CSC-CCTL2.

  • Microcode changes are noted:

    • The CSC-C2FCIT card uses MC-C2FCIT-V10.3 microcode version.

    • The CSC-MEC card requires an MC-MEC5.1-V10.3 microcode upgrade.

  • Power changes are included:

    • The new controller, CSC-CCTL2, requires 34W.

    • The new CSC-C2CTR card requires 30W.

    • The new CSC-C2FCIT card requires 36W.

The APP-LTR2 is added with a card cage as shown in the "Back Panel" section of the sample worksheet. The APP-LTR2 could also be placed in the same card cage as the APP-LMM.
