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.
Common Control Cards
This section documents Common Control Cards caveats for Release 8.5.1.
CSCsm15121
AIS-V alarm is not generated by XC10G and XCVT cards on some VT members when hard reset is performed on CE2 card through Cisco Transport Controller (CTC). SF/SD alarms are raised instead of AIS-V alarm. The workaround is to use the XCVXC card.
Data I/O Cards
This section documents Data I/O Cards caveats for Release 8.5.1.
CSCsl18519
When dual failure occurs on CE-MR ports equipped with electrical SFPs, only one CARLOSS and TPTFAIL alarms are reported. There is no workaround for this issue.This issue will not be resolved.
CSCsl76802
When Jumbo frame greater than 8000 bytes is passed through two STS24c or two STS1-21v circuits, upto 2% packet drop occurs. The workaround is to reduce the utilization to 95%. This issue will be resolved in a future release.
CSCsl97111
When UNEQ-P and LOA alarms are raised in a STS1-5V LCAS circuit between CE-MR cards with split fibre routing, the member on the transmitting side is not removed from the group. This issue will be resolved in a future release.
CSCsm59501
The GigabitEthernet ports based on 1000BaseX ports may not come up and report CARLOSS alarm when hard reset is performed on CE-MR-6 card. One of the following workarounds applies to bring the link up:
•
Completely stop the traffic from the client for a few seconds and then restart.
•
•
This issue will be resolved in a future release.
CSCsm64072
The Pause Resolution algorithm on CE-MR card for 1000BaseX ports is not correct. The workaround is to ensure that the partner interface supports both asymmetric and symmetric flow control. This issue will be resolved in a future release.
Maintenance and Administration
This section documents Maintenance and Administration caveats for Release 8.5.1.
Caution
Note
Note
CSCse87943
RFI-P is raised on both Working and Protect path in a 1+1 topology on an Cisco ONS 15310-MA. This occurs with an ML card with an STS cross connection with another ML card in another chassis and when the POS port on the Cisco ONS 15310-MA side is shut down. There is no workaround for this issue. This issue will be resolved in a future release.
CSCsd84638
Sometimes IP connectivity to Cisco ONS 15310-MA is lost and pinging the node fails. Also, as a result, CTC fails to start up. This can occur if both the Ethernet port on the CTXMA card and the Ethernet port on the backplane are accidentally connected to the same network, resulting in loops in the switching network. In normal operation, the backport should be used to connect to the network and the frontport should only be used for onsite maintenance. If this issue occurs, detach the Ethernet cables from both the frontport and the backport and connect through the backport (or frontport) only, rather than through both at the same time. This issue will not be resolved.
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 Cisco ONS Release 8.0 to a pre-Cisco ONS Release 8.0 software.
The following workarounds are available:

CSCsm34499
Wrong EXPTRC set for STS-2-1-1. There is no workaround for this issue. This issue will be resolved in a future release.

This section documents caveats resolved in Release 8.5.1.
Common Control Cards
This section documents resolved Common Control Cards caveats for Release 8.5.1.
CSCsk34391
The software upgrade fails when the CTXMA card is provisioned with DSL-84 port in slot 1 as timing reference and another DSL-84 port in slot 2. This issue has been resolved.
Hardware
CSCsl92447
The traffic in a split fiber circuit is dropped when the trunk port is shut down either by pulling the trunk port fiber or setting the admin state as OOS-DSBLD, and performing a soft reset on ML-MR card or hard reset on CE-MR-10 or CE-MR-6 card. This issue has been resolved.
Maintenance and Administration
This section documents resolved Maintenance and Administration caveats for Release 8.5.1.
Caution
Note
Note
CSCse04103
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.
TL1
This section documents resolved TL1 caveats for Release 8.5.1.
Note
CSCsm34460
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.
Common Hardware
This section documents new hardware features for Release 8.5.1.
CE-MR-6
CE-MR-6 card is a 5 Gbps data module for use in the Cisco ONS 15310-MA. It provides support for L1 packet mapping functions (Ethernet to SONET). The 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet-encapsulated traffic is mapped to SONET circuits. Each circuit has three main attributes:
•
•
•
The CE-MR-6 cards support link capacity adjustment scheme (LCAS) that allows hitless dynamic adjustment of SONET link bandwidth.
The CE-MR-6 is a Layer 1 (Ethernet Private Line) and Layer 1+ (Virtual Private Wire Services) mapper card with six IEEE 802 compliant 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports that provide 1:1 mapping of Ethernet ports to circuits. It maps each port to a unique SONET circuit in a point-to-point configuration.
The CE-MR-6 card allows you to provision and manage an Ethernet private line service like a traditional SONET line. CE-MR-6 card applications include providing carrier-grade Ethernet private line services and high-availability transport.
New Software Features and Functionality
This section documents new software features for Release 8.5.1.
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.TL1
