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
Considerations
This section describes file conversion considerations for APPN, bridge static routes,
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
8.3 or Earlier
If you are upgrading a NETBuilder from release 8.3 or earlier, you must disable user
verification by specifying the -NA flag on bcmnbrus or Upgrade Link. For example:
bcmnbrus -NA
