Installation Notes
The following procedure installs a Gigabit Ethernet module (GEM) in a top-of-rack switch:
1. Clear the switch’s current configuration by using the setup-clean-config command.
2. Power off the switch by disconnecting the power.
3. Replace the current GEM card with the new GEM card.
4. Power on the switch.
For other installation instructions, see the Cisco ACI Fabric Hardware Installation Guide at the following location:
Compatibility Information
■ This release supports the hardware and software listed on the ACI Ecosystem Compatibility List and the Cisco AVS, Release 4.2(1)SV2(2.3).
■ The breakout of 40G ports to 4x10G on the N9332PQ switch is not supported in ACI-Mode.
■ To connect the N2348UPQ to ACI leaf switches, the following options are available:
— Directly connect the 40G FEX ports on the N2348UPQ to the 40G switch ports on the ACI leaf switches
— Break out the 40G FEX ports on the N2348UPQ to 4x10G ports and connect to the N9396PX, N9372PX, or N9372PX-E switches
■ To connect the APIC (the controller cluster) to the ACI fabric, it is required to have a 10G interface on the ACI leaf. You cannot connect the APIC directly to the N9332PQ ACI leaf switch.
Usage Guidelines
■ The current list of protocols that are allowed (and cannot be blocked through contracts) include the following. Some of the protocols have SrcPort/DstPort distinction.
Note: See the APIC release notes for policy information: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/cloud-systems-management/application-policy-infrastructure-controller-apic/tsd-products-support-series-home.html
— UDP DestPort 161: SNMP. These cannot be blocked through contracts. Creating an SNMP ClientGroup with a list of Client-IP Addresses restricts SNMP access to only those configured Client-IP Addresses. If no Client-IP address is configured, SNMP packets are allowed from anywhere.
— TCP SrcPort 179: BGP
— TCP DstPort 179: BGP
— OSPF
— UDP DstPort 67: BOOTP/DHCP
— UDP DstPort 68: BOOTP/DHCP
— IGMP
— PIM
— UDP SrcPort 53: DNS replies
— TCP SrcPort 25: SMTP replies
— TCP DstPort 443: HTTPS
— UDP SrcPort 123: NTP
— UDP DstPort 123: NTP
■ Leafs and spines from two different fabrics cannot be connected regardless of whether the links are administratively kept down.
Caveats
This section contains lists of open and resolved caveats and known behaviors.
■ Known Limitations
Known Limitations
The following list describes IpEpg (IpCkt) known limitations in this release:
■ An IP/MAC Ckt endpoint configuration is not supported in combination with static endpoint configurations.
■ An IP/MAC Ckt endpoint configuration is not supported with Layer 2-only bridge domains. Such a configuration will not be blocked, but the configuration will not take effect as there is no Layer 3 learning in these bridge domains.
■ An IP/MAC Ckt endpoint configuration is not supported with external and Infra bridge domains because there is no Layer 3 learning in these bridge domains.
■ An IP/MAC Ckt endpoint configuration is not supported with a shared services provider configuration. The same or overlapping prefix cannot be used for a shared services provider and IP Ckt endpoint. However, this configuration can be applied in bridge domains having shared services consumer endpoint groups.
■ An IP/MAC Ckt endpoint configuration is not supported with dynamic endpoint groups. Only static endpoint groups are supported.
■ No fault will be raised if the IP/MAC Ckt endpoint prefix configured is outside of the bridge domain subnet range. This is because a user can configure bridge domain subnet and IP/MAC Ckt endpoint in any order and so this is not error condition. If the final configuration is such that a configured IP/MAC Ckt endpoint prefix is outside all bridge domain subnets, the configuration has no impact and is not an error condition.
■ Dynamic deployment of contracts based on instrImmedcy set to onDemand/lazy not supported; only immediate mode is supported.
The following list describes direct server return (DSR) known limitations in this release:
■ When a server and load balancer are on the same endpoint group, make sure that the Server does not generate ARP/GARP/ND request/response/solicits. This will lead to learning of LB virtual IP (VIP) towards the Server and defeat the purpose of DSR support
■ Load balancers and servers must be Layer 2 adjacent. Layer 3 direct server return is not supported. If a load balancer and servers are Layer 3 adjacent, then they have to be placed behind the Layer 3 out, which works without a specific direct server return virtual IP address configuration.
■ Direct server return is not supported for shared services. Direct server return endpoints cannot be spread around different virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) contexts.
■ Configurations for a virtual IP address can only be /32 or /128 prefix.
■ Client to virtual IP address (load balancer) traffic always will go through proxy-spine because fabric data-path learning of a virtual IP address does not occur.
■ GARP learning of a virtual IP address must be explicitly enabled. A load balancer can send GARP when it switches over from active-to-standby (MAC changes).
■ Learning through GARP will work only in ARP Flood Mode.
Open Caveats
Table 4 lists the open caveats in this release. Click the bug ID to access the Bug Search tool and see additional information about the bug.
Table 4. Open Caveats in Cisco NX-OS Release 11.2(1k)
| Bug ID | Description |
| FEX logs are missing in the output of the show fex detail command. | |
| The SVI interface does not go down when all SVI ports are down. | |
| The events and faults for interfaces are not updated under Ports in the GUI. | |
| The output of some CLI commands display very slowly. | |
| Because ibash is implemented on top of bash, when using ibash for the CLI, the bash behavior is inherited. For example, the sh mod command works in traditional Cisco switches. But when executed on N9K switches in ibash, because bash interprets sh differently, sh mod will not work. Similarly, if there is a clash in the next available options, the TAB key must be pressed twice to get the options rather than once as in other Cisco switches. In short, the CLI infra for ibash is not exactly the same as the CLI infra for the traditional Cisco switches because N9K ibash is built on top of bash. | |
| FEX related diagnostic results are missing. | |
| The REST API on the CLI of the switch throws an error when trying to reload. | |
| The core file sometimes get stuck on Tiburon FEXes and does not transfer to the IFC. | |
| The route is installed even if SVI fails. 10.1.1.1/8 is configured under a bridge domain subnet or endpoint group subnet. It gets rejected due to overlapping addresses, but the route is installed anyway. | |
| The APIC CLIs show the route as 'up' when they are actually 'down'. |
Resolved Caveats
Table 5 lists the resolved caveats in this release. Click the bug ID to access the Bug Search tool and see additional information about the bug.
Table 5 Resolved Caveats in Cisco APIC Release 11.2(1k)
| Bug ID | Description |
| Configuring the BGP maximum prefix policy is not supported. | |
| iping picks a source address from a different subnet for a directly connected destination. | |
| When removing the secondary IP address on an external SVI interface, static routes defined in the VRF, or context of the SVI, are removed causing traffic to be looped in the fabric. | |
| The shared L3out "Aggregate Shared" for the none 0.0.0.0/0 subnet will break the traffic. |
Known Behaviors
Table 6 lists caveats that describe known behaviors in this release. Click the Bug ID to access the Bug Search Tool and see additional information about the bug.
Table 6. Known Behaviors in Cisco NX-OS Release 11.2(1k)
| Bug ID | Description |
| When configuring the output span on a FEX Hif interface, all the layer 3 switched packets going out of that FEX Hif interface are not spanned. Only layer 2 switched packets going out of that FEX Hif are spanned. | |
| When output span is enabled on a port where the filter is VLAN, multicast traffic in the VLAN that goes out of that port is not spanned. | |
| The show interface command shows the tunnel's Rx/Tx counters as 0. | |
| The show vpc brief command displays the wire-encap VLAN Ids and the show interface .. trunk command displays the internal/hardware VLAN Ids. Both VLAN Ids are allocated and used differently, so there is no correlation between them. | |
| Continuous “threshold exceeded” messages are generated from the fabric. | |
| Switch rescue user ("admin") can log into fabric switches even when TACACS is selected as the default login realm. | |
| An extra 4 bytes is added to the untagged packet with Egress local and remote SPAN. | |
| When the command show ip ospf vrf <vrf_name> is run from bash on the border leaf, the checksum field in the output always shows a zero value. | |
| When an IP moves from one MAC behind one ToR to another MAC behind another ToR, even though the VM sends a GARP packet, in ARP unicast mode, this GARP packet is not flooded. As a result, any other host with the original MAC to IP binding sending an L2 packet will send to the original ToR where the IP was in the beginning (based on MAC lookup), and the packet will be sent out on the old port (location). Without flooding the GARP packet in the network, all hosts will not update the MAC-to-IP binding. | |
| When modifying the L2Unknown Unicast parameter on a Bridge Domain (BD), interfaces on externally connected devices may bounce. Additionally, the endpoint cache for the BD is flushed and all endpoints will have to be re-learned. | |
| If an endpoint has multiple IPs, the endpoint will not be aged until all IPs go silent. If one of the IPs is reassigned to another server/host, the fabric detects it as an IP move and forwarding will work as expected. | |
| The PSU is not getting detected after OIR with Power input connected. | |
| The port-channel remains in the admin-down state after being enabled. | |
| The access-port operational status is trunk. | |
| An MSTP topology change notification (TCN) on a flood domain (FD) VLAN may not flush endpoints learned as remote where the FD is not deployed. | |
| The output incorrectly displays AOC cables as ACU cables. | |
| Any TCAM that is full, or nearly full, will raise the usage threshold fault. Because the faults for all TCAMs on leaf switches are grouped together, the fault will appear even on those with low usage. Workaround: Review the leaf switch scale and reduce the TCAM usage. Contact TAC to isolate further which TCAM is full. | |
| The default route is not leaked by BGP when the scope is set to context. The scope should be set to Outside for default route leaking. | |
| If the TOR 1RU system is configured with the RED fan (the reverse airflow), the air will flow from back to front. The temperature sensor in the back will be defined as an Inlet temperature sensor, and the temperature sensor in the front will be defined as an outlet temperature sensor. If the TOR 1RU system is configured with the BLUE fan (normal airflow), the air will flow from front to back. The temperature sensor in the front will be defined as an Inlet temperature sensor, and the temperature sensor in the back will be defined as outlet temperature sensor. From the airflow perspective, the Inlet sensor reading should always be less than the outlet sensor reading. However, in the TOR 1RU family, the front panel temperature sensor has some inaccurate readings due to the front panel utilization & configuration, which causes the Inlet temperature sensor reading to be very close, equal, or even greater than the outlet temperature reading. | |
| 10% to 11% traffic drops occur on Unicast Traffic Streams. | |
| If Backbone and NSSA areas are on the same leaf, and default route leak is enabled, Type-5 LSAs may not be redistributed to the Backbone area. | |
| Traffic from the orphan port to the vPC pair is not recorded against the tunnel stats. Traffic from the vPC pair to the orphan port is recorded against the tunnel stats. | |
| Traffic from the orphan port to the vPC pair is only updated on the destination node, so the traffic count shows as excess. | |
| If a BD "Multi Destination Flood" mode is configured as "Drop", the ISIS PDU from the tenant space will get dropped in the fabric. | |
| Atomic counters on the border leaf do not increment for traffic from an endpoint group going to the Layer 3 out interface. | |
| Atomic counters on the border leaf do not increment for traffic from the Layer 3 out interface to an internal remote endpoint group. | |
| TEP counters from the border leaf to remote leaf nodes do not increment. | |
| For direct server return operations, if the client is behind the Layer 3 out, the server-to-client response will not be forwarded through the fabric. |
■ The following properties within a QoS class under “Global QoS Class policies,” should not be changed from its default value and is only used for debugging purposes:
— MTU (default – 9216 bytes)
— Queue Control Method (default – Dynamic)
— Queue Limit (default – 1522 bytes)
— Minimum Buffers (default – 0)
■ The Cisco Nexus 9508 ACI-mode switch supports warm (stateless) standby where the state is not synched between the active and the standby supervisor modules. For an online insertion and removal (OIR) or reload of the active supervisor module, the standby supervisor module becomes active, but all modules in the switch are reset because the switchover is stateless. In the output of the show system redundancy status command, warm standby indicates stateless mode.
■ When a recommissioned APIC controller rejoins the cluster, GUI and CLI commands can time out while the cluster expands to include the recommissioned APIC controller.
■ If connectivity to the APIC cluster is lost while a switch is being decommissioned, the decommissioned switch may not complete a clean reboot. In this case, the fabric administrator should manually complete a clean reboot of the decommissioned switch.
■ Before expanding the APIC cluster with a recommissioned controller, remove any decommissioned switches from the fabric by powering down and disconnecting them. Doing so will ensure that the recommissioned APIC controller will not attempt to discover and recommission the switch.
IGMP Snooping Known Behaviors:
■ Multicast router functionality is not supported when IGMP queries are received with VxLAN encapsulation.
■ IGMP Querier election across multiple Endpoint Groups (EPGs) or Layer 2 outsides (External Bridged Network) in a given Bridge Domain (BD) is not supported. Only one EPG or Layer 2 outside for a given BD should be extended to multiple multicast routers if any.
■ The rate of the number of IGMP reports sent to a leaf switch should be limited to 1000 reports per second.
■ Unknown IP multicast packets are flooded on ingress leaf switches and border leaf switches, unless “unknown multicast flooding” is set to “Optimized Flood” in a BD. This knob can be set to “Optimized Flood” only for a maximum of 50 BDs per leaf.
If “Optimized Flood” is enabled for more than the supported number of BDs on a leaf, follow these configuration steps to recover:
— Set “unknown multicast flooding” to “Flood” for all BDs mapped to a leaf.
— Set “unknown multicast flooding” to “Optimized Flood” on needed BDs.
