Feature Mismatching

Feature Mismatching
Feature mismatching provides customers a graceful migration path to Release 9.2 features.
Switch software Release 9.1 and previous releases of switch software mismatched cards if the
capabilities in the logical card database did not match exactly the capabilities of the physical card. This
restriction does not allow customers to gracefully migrate their BXM/UXM cards.
The current feature mismatching capability will not mismatch cards unless the actual feature has been
enabled on the card. This allows for a graceful card migration from an older release.
BPX switch software features perform these feature mismatching functions:

Switch software provides an upgrade path for each of the Release 9.2 features. Table A-3 below
describes the various scenarios while running Release 9.2 switch software and various versions of
Release 9.1 and Release 9.2 firmware. It also describes the process of upgrading firmware in a scenario
where a single active card and Y-cable is in use.
