ft group 1peer 1no preemptassociate-context ctx1inserviceCaveats
Caveats describe unexpected behavior in Cisco IOS XR Software Releases. Severity-1 caveats are the most serious caveats; severity-2 caveats are less serious.
Open Caveats—Release 3.5.2
This section lists the caveats for Cisco IOS XR Software Release 3.5.2:
•
•
Cisco CRS-1 and Cisco XR 12000 Series Router Caveats
The following caveat applies to both platforms:
•
Basic Description:
Make OSPF max-metric router-lsa on RP failover deterministic default.
Symptom:
OSPF max-metric router LSA is not sent on FO even when "max-metric router-lsa on-startup..." is configured.
Conditions:
It is only on 3.4 releases and the LSA with max metric is sent only on power on, not on switchover.
Workaround:
An SMU is available to make max-metric the default. Contact technical support for the location.
•
Basic Description:
IOS XR Scale- snmpd crash while polling walking enterprises.
Symptom:
While executing snmpwalk (.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.166.1.5.1.1.2) on a router with scale config as given below and performing a SPA reload or OIR simultaneously, sometimes the snmpd process crashes. The snmpd process automatically restarts and during the time the query could timeout or be delayed.
Conditions:
Running config with:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Workaround:
Since snmpd is restarted, there is no impact to subsequent MIB queries. Or, stop the MIB query when SPA reload or OIR is attempted.
•
Basic Description:
SPF scheduling problem when receiving changed LSAs constantly.
Symptom:
The following error message may be seen:
RP/0/RP1/CPU0:Sep 26 08:33:13.975 : ospf[419]: %ROUTING-OSPF_RIB-3-ERR_PATH_ADD : Error adding path to batching buffer RP/0/RP1/CPU0:Sep 26 08:33:13.975 : ospf[419]: %ROUTING-OSPF_RIB-3-ERR_PATH_DELETE : Error deleting path from batching buffer RP/1/RP1/CPU0:Sep 26 08:33:19.445 : ipv4_rib[238]: %ROUTING-RIB-3-ERR_DELETE : Path delete failure for Table 0xe0000000, prefix 10.10.50.2/32, protocol 5, intf 0x3580180, tunnelid 0, nexthop_table 0xe0000000, nexthop 10.10.200.2Conditions:
This may be seen on IOS-XR systems running OSPF protocol when changed LSAs are received constantly.
Workaround:
None.
Cisco CRS-1-specific Caveats
The following caveats are specific to the Cisco CRS-1 platform:
•
Basic Description:
RIB/PIM interaction after RP FO on multi-chassis causes temporary multicast loss.
Symptom:
After performing a Fail-Over some multicast traffic streams might be affected for up to three minutes and then recovers.
Conditions:
This was seen on a multi-chassis system with several multicast streams (both SM and SSM). The traffic hit was seen on few streams only and for 2-3 minute period.
Workaround:
Traffic recovers after few minutes of FO with no other side effects.
•
Basic Description:
FO with TE multicast-intact has multicast traffic loss on Multi-Chassis.
Symptom:
Several minutes of multicast traffic loss (up to 10 minutes) was seen after performing a fail-over on DSC rack in a Multi-Chassis platform.
Conditions:
This happened after FO on a Multi-Chassis platform with " mpls traffic-eng multicast-intact" configured under ISIS.
After removing this multicast-intact configuration, this issue was not seen.
Workaround:
This problem is limited to multicast-intact, so the only validated workaround is to remove the configuration, if possible. Also co-locating rib and rump on the same node reduces the loss considerably even if mcast-intact is configured.
An example config to co-locate ipv4_rump with ipv4_rib is shown below:
placement program ipv4_rumpaffinity location-set 1/RP0/CPU0 attract 400•
Basic Description:
cfgmgr-rp[132]: %MGBL-CONFIG-0-INIT_FAILURE logs keep popping up on LR.
Symptom:
Error log keeps popping up on LR after UUT is reloaded.
Conditions:
Router reload.
Workaround:
Restart rdsfs process.
•
Basic Description:
Show diagnostic schedule is not working after upgrade from 3.3.5 to 3.5.x.
Symptom:
Show diagnostic schedule is not displaying the schedule diagnostic time. The diagnostic configuration items which are not effective after an upgrade can be identified by missing card-type field when displayed with sh run command in admin mode.
Conditions:
This is happening after an upgrade from 3.3.5 to 3.5.2. It can happen with any upgrade from pre 3.4.1 to 3.4.1 and later release upgrade.
Workaround:
Re-apply the existing non-working configuration and everything starts working.
•
Basic Description:
With negotiation mismatch GIG-E flaps continuously.
Symptom:
GIG-E interface continuously flaps.
Conditions:
This happens when there is a negotiation mismatch.
Workaround:
Set correct negotiation.
•
Basic Description:
In MC, sysdb responds nothing to show rib and show static.
Symptom:
On multi-chassis systems, the show rib and show route commands show no routes. The symptom is purely cosmetic. All routes remain in operation, and no traffic forwarding or routing is impacted.
Conditions:
The problem can occur after a switchover of a non-dLRSC RP pair.
Workaround:
Use the process restart to restart sysdb_mc on each active RP, followed by sysdb_svr_shared on the dLRSC node.
•
Basic Description:
After reload, show route summary shows zero routes.
Symptom:
After reloading the router using admin reload location all, the output of the show route summary and show route commands shows zero routes, even though routes are known to be configured on the router. Local and remote interfaces are pingable. In a multi-rack system, this problem is seen when executing the show commands from any active management node.
Conditions:
This bug has been observed in IOS-XR release 3.3.2, but it may also exist in the 3.4 release. It is a rare-occurring issue, which is seen after reloading the router using the admin reload location all command.
Workaround:
This is believed to be an issue in the System Database component (SysDB). Restarting the sysdb_mc process on the dSDRSC node, using the process restart sysdb_mc command, most likely fixes the issue. Restarting sysdb_mc is non-traffic-impacting and should not have any other adverse effect on the router.
•
Basic Description:
Active RP in Multishelf does not allow intra-rack heartbeats across racks.
Symptom:
In absence of full mesh of cabling between the LCC & FCC SC-GE-22 cards, there is a likelihood that standby SC card may keep reloading due to loss of heartbeats.
Conditions:
In absence of full mesh cabling between the control Ethernet ports of RPs and SC-GE-22. The full mesh details are documented in customer documentation on Cisco.com.
This may occur in spite of an L2 path that is present between the SCs through multiple switches in RPs / SC-GE-22. You may be able to successfully ping across SCs through ctrl eth, but still heartbeats are not passed across.
Workaround:
Complete the full-mesh cabling as recommended in customer documentation on Cisco.com.
Further Problem Description:
This is due to the unexpected behavior of the switch in Active RP to not forward the heartbeats (reserved MAC address) to be passed across the racks.
•
Basic Description:
Fib convergence degraded 7% from releases prior to 3.5.2 on 1MSC for LDP.
Symptom:
IGP in LDP scenario convergence degraded 7% from earlier images compared to 3.5.2.FCS image.
Conditions:
This issue occurs with a plain MPLS LDP setup. LDP sync in IGP (OSPF/ISIS) is enabled on LSRs. Either hop-change or 2-1 tests could trigger it. This only happens in 1 MSC case. Two MSC cases have significant improvement. Image in problem is 3.5.2.16I.
Workaround:
There is no workaround.
Cisco XR 12000 Series Router-Specific Caveats
The following caveats are specific to the Cisco XR 12000 Series Router platform:
•
Basic Description:
Link flaps cause excessive messaging.
Symptom:
A 10 gigabit link with a SPA-1XTENGE-XFP= might see very sporadic short time flap although the fiber and signal are clean.
Conditions:
None.
Workaround:
Configure carrier-delay under the interface of the remote end to prevent the flap. Short packet drop might still be seen.
•
Basic Description:
Rollback config fails due to OSPF exiting before processing requests.
Symptom:
Rollback configuration {last | to} may fail if OSPF is enabled and rollback does not change OSPF config.
Conditions:
The problem was observed on routers running IOS-XR Release 3.5 and may occur in earlier releases.
Workaround:
Reconfigure OSPF from failed configuration.
•
Basic Description:
Active SBC restart after failover.
Symptom:
Active SBC restart after failover.
Conditions:
This issue is seen after multiple failovers.
Workaround:
None.
•
Basic Description:
Configuring SDR with a '/' in the sdr name crashes LRD process.
Symptom:
Configuring SDR with a sdr-name containing the character '/' causes a crash of the lrd process. Subsequent operations are stalled because SDR configuration fails.
Conditions:
Config operation involving SDR carve operation.
Workaround:
Avoid using / in the sdr-name during configuration. If configuration already exists, replace the sdr-name and reapply configuration.
•
Basic Description:
Ensure MBI are compatible before the SW Upgrade.
Symptom:
1.
2.
Conditions:
1.
2.
3.
Workaround:
1.
(a) Verify that this is the issue/situation. Check for the following:
- Install operation completed successfully before issuing a reload for all nodes (console logs).
- Wait for active RP to come up and verify that it's running 3.5.2 ("show install active").
- Verify that standby RP is trying to boot 3.4.2, this can be seen on the standby console in the banner when the image is booting (e.g. "Cisco IOS XR Software for the Cisco XR c12000-mbiprp, Version 3.4.2[1]").
- There should be the following error displayed periodically on the standby console:
Insthelper encountered a fatal error condition, and is exiting:
Error value = (1341786888), Error string = ('Subsystem(8180)' detected the 'warning' condition 'Code(5)': Host is down)
(b) Bring standby RP to ROMMON. This can be done, for example:- Issue "hw-module loc <location> reload" from dSC.
- Issue "send break" on the standby RP console line when the following displayed:
DRAM DIMM Slot 1: 2048M found, Slot 2: Empty MPC7457 platform with 2097152 Kbytes of main memory(c) Reset BOOT variable to a new value.
- Check its current value. It should be pointing to disk0:c12k-os-mbi-3.4.2/mbiprp-rp.vm
- Check if 3.5.2 MBI exists on disk, for example:
rommon 7 > dir disk0:c12k-os-mbi-3.5.2.14I File size Perms File name 0 drw- etc 0 drw- instdb_v 0 drw- mbi 0 drw- drp 0 drw- gsr 10088776 -rw- mbiprp-rp.vm 0 drw- instdb- Set BOOT variable to new 3.5.2 MBI value, for example:
rommon 8 > BOOT=disk0:c12k-os-mbi-3.5.2.14I/mbiprp-rp.vm rommon 9 > sync- Do "reset" to reload this node and let it come up with 3.5.2 MBI.
If you changed config-register value when bringing to ROMMON, change it back to the original value.
If 3.5.2 MBI is not present on disk, need to go through "diskboot procedure" for standby, refer to scenario 2 below.
(d) Verify, "install commit"
- Verify that the node comes up successfully with 3.5.2, wait until it's in IOX-RUN state.
- When all non-dSC RP nodes are up, issue "install commit".
2.
Prepare the new RP in the same way as with original diskboot procedure for standby. For example, by booting mbiprp-rp.vm from tftp or ftp. For example, on the standby console:
rommon 1 > boot tftp address://directory/mbiprp-rp.vm-3.5.2 192.85.16.23For more documentation on diskboot procedure refer to Migrating From Cisco IOS to Cisco IOS XR Software on the Cisco XR 12000 Series Router, Release 3.5 document on Cisco.com.
3.
- Downgrading from 3.5.2 to 3.4.x, but a non-dSC RP rebooted/OIR and booting 3.5.2 while the dSC RP is 3.4.x.
- The router is booted with 3.4.x sw, and a new RP is inserted that was baked with 3.5.2 previously.
•
Basic Description:
IKE crash on aaa avpair
Symptom:
Remote Access tunnels are not authenticated because of IKE process crash.
Conditions:
When AAA tries to use the fallback option for a user who is not able to authenticate from primary location, for example, from RADIUS to local or from local to RADIUS, IKE process crashes.
Workaround:
Do not use fallback option for AAA authentication.
•
Basic Description:
RA fall back option for Radius broken using IKE/Xauth.
Symptom:
Remote Access tunnels are not authenticated when fallback option is configured for AAA authentication.
Conditions:
When AAA tries to use fallback option for a user who is not able to authenticate from primary location, for example, from RADIUS to local or from local to RADIUS, IKE process crashes.
Workaround:
Do not use fallback option for AAA authentication.
Resolved Cisco IOS XR Software PSIRT-Related Caveats
•
Basic Description:
BGP flaps due to unknown attribute
Symptom:
Cisco IOS XR Software contains a vulnerability in the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) feature. The vulnerability manifests itself when a BGP peer announces a prefix with a specific, valid but unrecognized transitive attribute. On receipt of this prefix, the Cisco IOS XR device will corrupt the attribute before sending it to the neighboring devices. Neighboring devices that receive this corrupted update may reset the BGP peering session.
Conditions:
Affected devices running Cisco IOS XR Software corrupt the unrecognized attribute before sending to neighboring devices, but neighboring devices may be running operating systems other than Cisco IOS XR Software and may still reset the BGP peering session after receiving the corrupted update. This is per standards defining the operation of BGP.
Workaround:
No workaround. Cisco developed a fix that addresses this vulnerability and will be releasing free software maintenance upgrades (SMUs) progressively starting 28 August 2010.
A Security Advisory is posted at http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20100827-bgp.shtml
