H/W limitation with PN(3HE02297AAAA/B):

Old CPMs with PN(3HE02297AAAA/B) may get packet loss( Frames which sourced from CPM self)

Old CPMs with PN(3HE02297AAAA/B) do not support FPGA version upgrade.

Summary--Case
--Case 1

AR Number/Jira Number: 1-6220788/ESS-5689

Status: Closed

 Issue Description:
Packet Loss found in Neighbor PING ME-D6-SKWG
 Conclusion:
Packets sourced from the 7450 ESS-6 (only) that exceed 4000 bytes may get dropped in the switch-fabric as a result
of queue overflow.
Customer has to upgrade the CPUCTL FPGA to v33 - DTS 186535 in 12.0.R6.
************************************************************************************************
Note that upgrading CPUCTL FPGA to v33 is only allowed in case the FPGA version is at least v30.

AR Number\Jira Number: 1-6467213\ESS-6117

Status: Pending

 Issue Description:
FPGA Upgrade on SFM-80G ESS6--Failed to upgrade to 0x33
 Conclusion:
When older hardware versions of the 7450 ESS−6/6v SF/CPM−2 80Gs equipped with 1G DIMMs (3HE02297AAAA or
3HE02297AAAB) are upgraded to CPUCTL FPGA revision 0x31, due to its old product hardware limitation, the
SF/CPM−2 80Gs could become unstable.

--Case 3

AR Number\Jira Number: 1-6493553\ESS-6243

Status: Pending

 Issue Description:
Resync Failed ME-D2-KSB & Resync Failed ME2-D2-BGG
 Conclusion:
Resync Failed because of packets lost when PING test(when packet size is over 2104, but not over 4000), it is same
issue as ESS-5689. This node is also old CPM with HE02297AAAA. According to last ticket, It could not been upgraded
to 0x33 because of ESS-6117.

Key Potential Issues of the live network with HW limitation
For 3HE02297AAAC01, we can
upgrade FPGA from 0x2D to 0x31;
Issue 1: Packets may get lost then finally upgrade it to 0x33;
with PING test(when packet
size is over 2104) with CPM
FPGA 0x2D
For 3HE02297AAAA01/
3HE02297AAAB01, we could not
upgrade it to 0x31 and above
Issue 2: Old CPM
3HE02297AAA/B with FPGA
version 0x31 or above
Now the only solution is to Replace
3HE02297AAAA01/
3HE02297AAAB01
Types of CPM in the live network:
3HE02297AAAA01 - Old one with potential risk
3HE02297AAAB01 - Old one with potential risk
3HE02297AAAC01--> No Problem after upgrade to 0x33

Need to do troubleshooting
for CPM Down issue firstly;
Unknown 5 unknown 5 then check again.

Note: For those unknown item, that is because of CPM down or no boot log info; if need, please also open AR
to track the issue of CPM down. And this installation base need to be checked again for local team.

Discussion and Follow UP

 Need local team to evaluate potential risk with 3HE02297AAAA or 3HE02297AAAB, and possibility
for replacement
 Need local team to involve the local PLM for this issue and follow-up
 For CPM 3HE02297AAAC01 with FPGA 0x2D/0x31, please upgrade them to 0x33
 For CPM down issue, please open AR to track for further investigation.
