CSCuo56588

In DS-lite mode, Radius and DHCP flows are bypassed at FD level.

Workaround

Try adding the ports “67,68,1812,1813,1645,1646” in the Advanced Configuration option in UDP Port IPv6.

CSCug67568

If you create a new quota profile with Subscriber SCE API as the Type, attach all services to a quota bucket profile in Cisco SCA BB, create a new service on classification tab, save the configuration as.pqb and open the.pqb file, you can find that the new service does not get reflected to add into a bucket profile.

Workaround

There is no workaround.

CSCuv79561

VoIP family filter is missing while upgrading from release 3.8.5. VoIP reports will not be generated.

Workaround

Open the PQB in 3.8.5 SCABB and move the Qik protocol from Video protocol filter to VoIP protocol filter and save the configurations as.pqb file. Now open the saved PQB file in 4.1.0 SCABB, the VoIP protocol filter should be visible.
