Release Notes for Cisco 860VAE Series Multimode VDSL2/ADSL2/2+ DSL Router using Firmware Release ABpv6C035j

1 Release s for Cisco 860VAE Series Multimode VDSL2/ADSL2/2+ DSL Router using Firmware Release ABpv6C035j First Published: August 30, 2012 Release: Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)M Contents Introduction, page 1 System Requirements, page 2 New and Changed Information, page 4 Related Documentation, page 12 Introduction These release notes describe new enhancements and fixed caveats for the Cisco 860VAE Series Multimode VDSL2/ADSL2/2+ DSL routers using firmware release ABpv6C035j. The physical layer performance and interoperability of Cisco 860VAE and Cisco 880VA are identical because they have the same physical firmware from the chipset vendor. DSL firmware supported on the Cisco 860VAE series is equivalent to the same version on the Cisco 880VA series although they do not use the same firmware image nor the same image file names because Cisco 860VAE does not have a Linux code. Therefore, you cannot interchange Cisco 880VA DSL firmware with Cisco 867VAE. These release notes are updated as needed.

5 Known Issues and Limitations G.INP mode in 30a mode is not supported yet. G.INP supports DTU framing type 1 only. US PhyR in 30a mode has stability issue in certain loops with no delay queue feature enabled against BRCM CO FW version and older. The issue has been fixed and the fix will be in future CO FW releases. US SRA with dynamic D may have excessive CRCs under certain conditions with q = 2 against BRCM CO FW version and older. The issue has been fixed and the fix will be in future CO FW releases. Modem Settings New and existing modem commands are integrated to the release of the ABpv6C035j firmware and IOS release 15.2(4)M to allow custom configurations of DSL modem settings and to ensure DSL interoperability in different environments. Modem settings are optional, depending on the DSLAM used. Please consult your Service Provider on required modem settings (if any) for the particular SP network configuration. Before you enable the modem settings, execute the service internal command in configuration mode. For example: Router# configure terminal Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
