What's New in Cisco NCS 4000 Series, Release 6.5.32
Cisco is continuously enhancing the product with every release and this section covers a brief description of key features and enhancements
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
|
System Setup and Software Installation |
|
|
DUO Two-Factor Log In feature enables the CTC to authenticate the user with a secure DUO password. The Two-Factor authentication requires the user to enter a combination of DUO passcode and node password to access a node in the network. This log in feature does not support Automatic Network Discovery. |
|
|
Configuration |
|
|
ACL allows you to control the packets that move through the network. This control allows you to limit the network traffic and restrict the access of users and devices to the network. ACL is supported on the data port. |
|
|
The Process Restart command enables the user to delete stale RSVP files from reused Route Processors in a multi chassis (MC) system |
|
|
Hardware timestamping is supported for both one-way and two-way delay measurements in multi-chassis. |
|
|
Y.1564 – Ethernet SAT feature supports up to four parallel SAT sessions in single chassis and up to four parallel SAT sessions for each rack in multi-chassis. |
|
|
Flex Grid Spacing (only CLI support) |
The Flex Grid Spacing feature increases bandwidth utilization by allowing channels to be packed in 100MHz grid spacing. This feature allows the user to configure the signal to any of the 761 individual wavelengths in the C band, using the supported tunable optics. |
|
Programmability |
|
|
The following YANG models are introduced in this release:

Cisco Bug Search Tool
Use the Bug Search Tool (BST) to view the list of outstanding and resolved bugs in a release.
BST, the online successor to Bug Toolkit, is designed to improve the effectiveness in network risk management and device troubleshooting. The tool allows partners and customers to search for software bugs based on product, release, and keyword, and aggregates key data such as bug details, product, and version. The tool has provision to filter bugs based on credentials to provide external and internal bug views for the search input.
Search Bugs in BST
Procedure
|
Step 1 |
Go to https://tools.cisco.com/bugsearch/. You will be prompted to log into Cisco.com. After successful login, the Bug Toolkit page open. |
|
Step 2 |
Enter the bug ID in the Search For: field. To search for release bugs, enter the following parameters in the page:
