Upgrade and downgrade considerations
● Upgrade and downgrade considerations.......................................................................... 9
● Changes between FastIron 07.4.00 and 08.0.xx release................................................11
● Changes between FastIron 07.5.00 and 08.0.01 release............................................... 26
This chapter contains the upgrade and downgrade considerations, and the major differences between
FastIron 07.4.00 and 08.0.xx releases. For information on devices and FastIron software versions that
can be upgraded to FastIron 08.0.xx, see the release notes.
Upgrade and downgrade considerations
The following sections covers the details that should be considered before upgrading to FastIron
08.0.xx or downgrading to previous releases from FastIron 08.0.xx.
General considerations
General
•
•
•
•
The erase startup-config command will erase all the startup configuration files (startup-config.txt
and also the backup files).
FSX device with FastIron 08.0.xx, ICX 6430, and ICX 6450 devices support only one configured
system boot preference.
For ICX 6430 devices, the system-max mac-filter-sys parameter value has changed from 512 to
508 in FastIron 08.0.xx. If the current value of system-max mac-filter-sys is more than 508, you
should change this value to 508 before upgrading. Otherwise, during upgrade, its value will be set
to the default value of 64.
To use 07.x.xx configuration on a device upgraded to 08.0.xx image, replacing the running
configuration with 07.x.xx configuration is not supported. You will be required to copy the 07.x.xx
configuration onto the startup configuration file and reload the device.
Deprecated or removed features and commands
•
•
•
SNTP is no longer supported. NTPv4 replaces SNTP.
Port Speed Down-Shift feature is deprecated in FastIron 08.0.xx. The link-config gig copper
autoneg-control down-shift ethernet command is deprecated.
The show cpu-utilization command replaces the show process cpu command.
Flash memory capacity
Consider the following limitations of different devices when upgrading software:
•
•
•
FSX and FCX devices can hold two Full Layer 3 or Layer 2 or Base Layer 3 images.
ICX 6430 devices can hold two Layer 2 images.
ICX 6450 devices can hold two Layer 2 or Layer 3 images.

Considerations for devices with LAG
Security
•
•
•
•
SSHv2 RSA host key format is different between FastIron 07.x.xx, and 08.0.xx software versions.
When you upgrade from FastIron 07.x.xx, 08.0.00 to 08.0.xx software version, if RSA key is
present in FastIron 07.x.xx or 08.0.00 software version, same size will be regenerated in FastIron
08.0.xx software version. Old SSHv2 host key is retained unless they are cleared by the crypto
key zeroize command.
SSH host keys created with DSA method is interoperable between FastIron 07.x.xx, 08.0.00 and
08.0.xx software versions.
RADIUS Server key default encryption type is 2 (simple_encryption_base64) in FastIron 08.0.xx
release instead of 1 (simple_encryption) as compared to the earlier releases. If you do not follow
the upgrade procedure, the RADIUS server key configuration will be removed during downgrade.
Downgrade considerations
•
•
•
•
•
Any new command in FastIron 08.0.xx will be discarded during downgrade.
The startup configuration as well as the run time changes in FastIron 08.0.xx configuration will be
lost during downgrade.
If software-based licensing is in effect on the device, and if the software is downgraded to a
version earlier than 07.1.00, software-based licensing will not be supported.
SSHv2 RSA host key format is different between FastIron 07.x.xx, 08.0.00, and 08.0.xx software
versions.
When you downgrade the FastIron software from version 08.0.xx to 08.0.00 or 07.x.xx, consider
the following scenarios:
‐
‐
When SSHv2 RSA host key in FastIron 08.0.00a and above is retained from FastIron
07.x.xx or 08.0.00 software version, booting up with FastIron 07.x.xx or 08.0.00 software
versions reads the old format SSHv2 RSA host keys and enables the SSHv2 RSA server
on the switch.
When SSHv2 RSA host key is created in FastIron 08.0.00a and above, booting up with
FastIron 07.x.xx or 08.0.00 software versions does not read the new-format SSHv2 RSA
host keys and SSHv2 server is not enabled on the switch.
Considerations for devices with LAG
•
If you are upgrading to FastIron 08.0.xx and have either LAGs or LACP configured, the previous
configuration will be automatically updated to form a new equivalent LAG. To accomplish this, the
old trunk and link-aggregation commands are maintained during startup configuration parsing,
but disabled during normal configurations.The following are the major differences in LAG
configuration in FastIron 08.0.xx compared to earlier releases:
‐
‐
‐
•
10
A LAG is not created until a LAG is deployed using the deploy command.
LACP is not started until a dynamic LAG is deployed.
The number of LAG ports is 1 to 8. For FSX 3rd generation modules, the range is 1 to
12.
‐
A LAG is created even if a static or dynamic LAG has only one port.
If link aggregation is configured on your device and you are upgrading to FastIron 08.0.xx
configuration, the link aggregation configuration should have the key configured to identify the
LAG. If the key is not configured, when you upgrade to FastIron 08.0.xx, all the link aggregation
interfaces (without key) will be bundled as one misconfigured LAG. The configuration will fail if it
exceeds the supported maximum number of members per LAG limit.
FastIron Ethernet Switch Software Upgrade Guide
53-1002971-02
Considerations for devices in stack configurations
•
•
All LAG configurations are lost during downgrade.
The trunk configuration commands--trunk ethernet , trunk deploy , trunk-cfg-ind , linkaggregation active | passive , link-aggregation conf key --are deprecated. Instead, you can use
the new LAG configuration commands.
Considerations for devices in stack configurations
Upgrade considerations
•
•
•
•
•
The image for FastIron 07.2.00a and later uses different Interprocessor Communications (IPC)
versions for FCX devices; however, units in a stack must run the same IPC version to
communicate. After upgrading from FastIron 07.2.00 or earlier to FastIron 08.0.xx, you must verify
that the same image is downloaded to every unit in the stack before reloading the entire stack. To
verify the images, enter the show flash command at any level of the CLI. A stack cannot be built
and will not operate if one or more units have different software images.
All devices in a mixed stack must run the same version of the software. A stack cannot form if the
software images are of different major versions. A stack member is not operational if it runs a
different minor version than other stack members.
In FCX, ICX 6610, ICX 6430, and ICX 6450 devices, the auto-image upgrade feature in FastIron
08.0.xx release will automatically update the software image on member units when an image
mismatch occurs.
For upgrading to mixed stack, the peripheral ports need to be configured manually.
The Layer 3 configuration on your device will be part of the default VRF after upgrade. If no
configurations are done, all interfaces are part of the default VRF.
Downgrade considerations
•
•
•
•
•
ICX 6610 devices in a mixed stack will form a homogenous stack when downgrading from FastIron
08.0.xx. Other members of the mixed stack are left out. You should manually configure the mixed
stack with devices other than ICX 6610 after downgrade from FastIron 08.0.xx.
On downgrade, core ICX 6610 devices lose the ICX 6450 configuration and they also lose the periport and peri-trunk configurations.
After downgrade, a mixed stack changes into a homogenous stack.
For FCX units, the 10G module name differs in software releases FastIron 08.0.xx compared to
releases 07.0.01b and 07.0.01c. Therefore, if an FCX device is downgraded from FastIron 08.0.xx
to release 07.0.01b or 07.0.01c, the stacking port configuration will be lost and the unit will not be
able to join the stack.
If FCX units in an traditional stack are downgraded from FastIron 08.0.xx to earlier releases, in
some instances, the units may not be able to form a stack. This will occur if there is a mismatch of
BGP capability within the stack (that is, some units support it and others do not). If you encounter
this problem, contact Brocade Technical Support for assistance.
Changes between FastIron 07.4.00 and 08.0.xx release
FastIron 08.0.xx release brings support and enhanced functionality for a variety of desired Layer 3
features.
The changes in specific features have fundamentally changed a large amount of CLI configuration
commands, show commands, and show command output. A large reason for this change is due to the
VRF-lite support in the FastIron products: FSX 800, FSX 1600, ICX 6610, ICX 6650, and FCX.
FastIron Ethernet Switch Software Upgrade Guide

11
New or modified parameter values
The FastIron 08.0.xx release newly supports BGP4+(IPv6), IPv6 Multicast, Management VRF, and
Multi-VRF. There are also changes to BGP4 (IPv4), OSPFv2, OSPFv3, RIP, RIPng, and IP Multicast.
While some of these protocols are new to the FastIron family, some have been supported since Layer
3 routing has been supported. There are changes in the implementation to have a more unified CLI
and approach across the entire IP product portfolio.
For detailed information on the commands, configurations, and feature behaviors, see the FastIron
08.0.xx configuration guides.
For more information on supported features and platforms, see FastIron 08.0.xx release notes.

For easy software image management, all Brocade devices support the download and upload of
software images between the flash modules on the devices and a TFTP server on the network.
Brocade devices have two flash memory modules:
•
•
Primary flash - The default local storage device for image files and configuration files.
Secondary flash - A second flash storage device. You can use the secondary flash to store
redundant images for additional booting reliability or to preserve one software image while testing
another one.
Only one flash device is active at a time. By default, the primary image becomes active when you
reboot the device.
You can update the software contained on a flash module using TFTP to copy the update image from a
TFTP server onto the flash module. You can also use SCP to copy images to and from a host that has
the images that you need. In addition, you can copy software images and configuration files from a flash
module to a TFTP server when you want to backup the current configuration and images on the device.
NOTE
Brocade devices are TFTP clients but not TFTP servers. You must perform the TFTP transaction from
the Brocade device.
Software upgrade overview
The upgrade procedure consists of the following steps:
1.
Determine the current software versions, lincese requirements, and download the software. See
the Initial steps on page 28.
2.
Upgrade the software. See the Upgrade process on page 28.
FastIron 08.0.00a and above also supports Manifest file upgrade but this process can be used only
to upgrade from 08.0.00a and above to later release. For more information, see the section
Upgrade using a manifest file on page 33.
