Changes to the Release Notes
This section documents supplemental information that has been added to the Release Notes for Cisco ONS 15454 Release 8.5.1 since the production of the Cisco ONS 15454 System Software CD for Release 8.5.1.
Caveats
Review the notes listed below before deploying the Cisco ONS 15454. Caveats with tracking numbers are known system limitations that are scheduled to be addressed in a subsequent release. Caveats without tracking numbers are provided to point out procedural or situational considerations when deploying the product.
Maintenance and Administration
This section documents Maintenance and Administration caveats for Release 8.5.1.
CautionVxWorks is intended for qualified Cisco personnel only. Use of VxWorks by customers is not recommended, nor is it supported by Cisco's Technical Assistance Center. Inappropriate use of VxWorks commands can have a negative and service-affecting impact on your network. Please consult the troubleshooting guide for your release and platform for appropriate troubleshooting procedures. To exit without logging in, enter a Control-D (hold down the Control and D keys at the same time) at the Username prompt. To exit after logging in, type "logout" at the VxWorks shell prompt.
Note
Cisco Transport Planner (CTC) does not support adding or creating more than 5 circuits in auto-ranged provisioning. This is as designed.
Note
In releases prior to Cisco ONS Release 4.6 you could independently set proxy server gateway settings; however, with Cico ONS Release 4.6.x and later, this is no longer the case. To retain the integrity of existing network configurations, settings made in a pre-4.6 release are not changed on an upgrade toCisco ONS Release 7.x. Current settings are displayed in CTC (whether they were inherited from an upgrade, or they were set using the current GUI).
CSCsl29859
A FREQ OOB alarm is raised and the node fails to synchronize to any of the optical line references when the software is downgraded from Release 8.0 to a pre-Release 8.0 software.
The following workarounds are available:
•
Configure optical line timing on all optical ports before the downgrading software from Cisco ONS Release 8.0 and ensure that ports are receiving optical signals.
•
Hard reset the CTX card in the pre-Cisco ONS Release 8.0 software before configuring optical line references.
Note
Performing hard reset of CTX card may impact traffic.
•
Hard reset the CTX card in the pre-Cisco ONS Release 8.0 software when the FREQ OOB alarm is raised.
Note
Performing hard reset of CTX may impact traffic.
•
Configure Cisco ONS Release 8.0 software as protect and perform the following steps:
1.
Provision the timing references in pre-Cisco ONS Release 8.0 software.
2.
Activate the Cisco ONS Release 8.0 software.
3.
Downgrade to pre-Cisco ONS Release 8.0 software after the timing references are normal.
This issue will be resolved in a future release.

Wrong EXPTRC set for STS-2-1-1. There is no workaround for this issue. This issue will be resolved in a future release.
TL1

Note
To be compatible with TL1 and DNS, all nodes must have valid names. Node names should contain alphanumeric characters or hyphens, but no special characters or spaces.

Applying the forced switch or manual switch on protect facility when no protection switch is in operation, FRCDWKSWBK-NO-TRFSW/MANWKSWBK-NO-TRFSW is not raised for 1+1. There is no workaround for this issue. This issue has been resolved.

The ENT-EQPT::SLOT-14&SLOT-16:81::DS3:PROTID=SLOT-15,PRTYPE=1-N,CMDMDE=FRCD; TL1 command returns a wrong response. This issue has been resolved.
New Features and Functionality
This section highlights new features and functionality for Release 8.5.1. For detailed documentation of each of these features, consult the user documentation.
New Software Features and Functionality
Link Integrity Soak Timer
All the mapper cards (G1000-4, CE-1000-4, CE-100-8, and CE-MR-10 cards supported on Cisco ONS 15454 platform) support end-to-end Ethernet link integrity. If any part of the end-to-end path fails, the mapper card soaks the defect for a fixed duration of 200 ms. In certain network configurations, the restoration time after a protection switch can be more than 200 ms. Such disruptions necessitates that the link integrity be initiated at an interval greater than 200 ms. The Link Integrity Soak Timer enhancement allows you to configure link integrity soak timer on per port basis. To allow link integrity to be initiated at an interval greater than 200 ms, set the link integrity timer in the range between 200 and 5000 ms, in multiples of 100 ms.
MRC Upgrade
The MRC Upgrade feature allows to perform an in-service upgrade of the MRC cards (MRC-12, MRC-4-2.5G, or MRC-12-2.5G card) to OC192 or OC192-XFP card provided only the first port in MRC card is provisioned. The OC192 or OC192-XFP card can be converted back to an MRC card if the bandwidth used in OC192 or OC192-XFP card is less than the SFP Port Rate (that is, OC-12 or OC-48).
