Changes to the Release Notes
This section documents supplemental information that has been added to the Release Notes for Cisco ONS 15454 Release 8.5.3 since the production of the Cisco ONS 15454 System Software CD for Release 8.5.3.
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.
Alarms
This section documents caveats for Alarms in Release 8.5.3.
CSCsj26750—DS1_14 card shows Act(Green) LED, instead of Fail(RED) LED
When the card type in Cisco Transport Controller is changed from DS1_14 to DS1_E1_56 with a DS1-14 physical card in the slot, the LED in DS1_14 card will show Act(Green) LED, instead of Fail(RED) LED. This issue will be resolved in a future release.
CSCsl04155—Transient alarms occur when upgrading the software
Transient alarms occur under the following conditions:
•
When upgrading the software from Cisco ONS Release 4.x, 5.x, 6.x, and 7.x to Cisco ONS Release 8.5, the PMI and FDI alarms are raised. These alarms disappear after all the nodes of the network are upgraded to Cisco ONS Release 8.5.
•
This issue will be resolved in a future release.
CSCsl57383—OPWR_LFAIL and OPWR_HFAIL alarms do not correlate the downstream alarms
The OPWR_LFAIL and OPWR_HFAIL alarms do not properly correlate the downstream alarms when Multipath Optical (MPO) ribbon connected to the ADD port is removed from the ADD circuit passing through the WXC card. This issue will be resolved in a future release.
CSCsm92317—AIS alarm on the DS1 port is not suppressed
The AIS alarm on the DS1 port is not suppressed when the circuit is OOS, MT and the DS3 port is in service. This issue will be resolved in a future release.
CSCsu47466—DS1 alarms incorrectly raised or suppressed
Alarms are incorrectly raised or suppressed against the first three DS1 ports of the WBE28/WBE84 card. The workaround is to manually edit the AdminState of the DS1 port after rebooting. This issue will be resolved in a future release.
CSCsu64887—LOS alarm remains critical on DS3 port after deleting the STS circuit on that port
The loss of signal (LOS) alarm remains critical on DS3 port(s) of DS1-28/DS3-EC1-3 and DS1-84/DS3-EC1-3 after deleting the STS circuits on those ports. The workaround is to recreate the STS circuits again on two DS3 ports (ports 2 and 3) and then delete the circuits.
CTC
This section documents caveats for CTC in Release 8.5.3.
CSCsk83405—Retrieval of OSPF diagnostics raises the OSPF Hello Fail alarm
Performing a retrieval of OSPF diagnostic information from the CTC network raises the OSPF Hello Fail alarm and the controller card is locked. This issue will be resolved in a future release.
CSCsm85843—CTC displays the STS circuit in ROLL_PENDING state when a bridge and roll is performed
The Circuit tab in CTC displays the STS circuit in the ROLL_PENDING state when a Bridge and Roll is performed under the following conditions:
1.
2.
3.
The Roll object still exists on the node even though the parent object is deleted and no pool for the rollFrom Path field exits in the Roll Object database. The Circuit tab in CTC will display the circuit in the ROLL_PENDING state and the Roll tab will not have an entry to finish the roll. The workaround is to complete all the steps of the ROLL process including the FINISH step. This issue will be resolved in a future release.
CSCso08712—VCAT member cannot be put in an OOS,OOG state in an open VCAT circuit
A VCAT member cannot be put in an OOS,OOG state in an open VCAT circuit. This issue will be resolved in a future release.
CSCsq14054—CTC hangs when VCAT state changes from OOS,DSBLD to IS,AINS
CTC hangs when VCAT state transitions from OOS,DSBLD to IS,AINS. The workaround is to manually set the state for individual members. This issue will be resolved in Release 9.0.
Data I/O Cards
This section documents caveats for Data I/O Cards in Release 8.5.3.
CSCso84751—LCAS members remain in LCAS Rx DNU alarm state after XC soft reset
After XC soft resets on CE-MR-10 or CE-MR-6 cards, LCAS members may remain in a LCAS Rx DNU alarm state. This issue will be resolved in a future release.
CSCsu30587—VT members remain idle after trunk card is pulled multiple times
VT members remain idle on pulling truck cards multiple times. The workaround is to move the affected members to OOG state and then IS state. This issue will be resolved in Release 9.0.
Hardware
This section documents caveats for Hardware in Release 8.5.3.
CSCsk48116—Traffic on a CE-MR-6 card is dropped when a loopback is applied on any member of LCAS circuit
The traffic on a CE-MR-6 card is dropped when a loopback is applied on any member of the link capacity adjustment scheme (LCAS) circuit. Applying loopback potentially affects other members of the LCAS circuit as the differential delay threshold changes. This change in differential delay causes other members in the LCAS circuit to exceed the differential delay threshold raising the VCG-LOA alarm. The workaround is to assign OOS,OOG state for any member of LCAS circuit before applying loopback. This issue will be resolved in a future release.
CSCsl92447—Traffic in a split fiber circuit is dropped when the trunk port is shut down
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 will be resolved in a future release.
Maintenance and Administration
This section documents caveats for Maintenance and Administration in Release 8.5.3.
Caution
Note
Note
CSCsb88234—No plug-in message when a filler card is plugged in without prior provisioning
When a card is provisioned and a filler card is plugged in, a DBCHG with ENT-EQPT alarm is raised, but when a filler card is plugged in without a prior provision there is no plug-in message. Similarly, there is no message upon removal of the filler card. The workaround for TL1 is to issue an inventory call and the filler card appears. For Cisco Transport Controller, the card is displayed and removed when the card is removed. This issue will be resolved in a future release.
CSCsl04148—LINE-TX and LINE-RX power values for OSC-CSM card are not retrieved
When retrieving power values on Cisco Transport Controller and TL1, the LINE-TX and LINE-RX power values related to the OSC-CSM card are not retrieved. This issue will be resolved in a future release.
CSCsl04173—Active channel count is not reported correctly
When TCC is reset on a node that has either a LOS, LOS-P, or OPWR-LFAIL alarm, active channel count is not reported correctly in Cisco Transport Controller and TL1. This issue will be resolved in a future release.
CSCsu33773—STS PM counters cannot be cleared on protect STS in BLSR switched state
STS PM counters cannot be cleared on protect STS in BLSR switched state. No workaround is available for this issue. This issue will be resolved in a future release.
CSCsu62968—DS3 Port changes to IS from AINS state after soak expiry without valid input signal
DS3 ports of DS1-28/DS3-EC1-3 and DS1-84/DS3-EC1-3 cards changes from AINS to IS state after an AINS soak time expiry without valid input signal. The workaround is to manually edit the DS1 port state after rebooting, or change the state to any other state except OOS_DSBLD and then revert the state to OOS_DSBLD. This issue will be resolved in a future release.
Path Protection
This section documents caveats for Path Protection in Release 8.5.3.
CSCsl52122—Revertive path protection circuit may not switch to protected path during activation
A revertive path protection circuit may not switch to protected path during activation when the path protection selector does not detect the working path as Active even if that path has errors. This issue will be resolved in a future release.
SNMP
This section documents caveats for SNMP in Release 8.5.3.
CSCso22135—Node reboots when the snmpwalk command is executed on entPhysicalDescr, cerentEnvMonVoltage
The node may reboot when the snmpwalk command is executed on entPhysicalDescr, cerentEnvMonVoltage. This issue will be resolved in a future release.
TL1
This section documents caveats for TL1 in Release 8.5.3.
Note
CSCsu24438—RTRV-TH-MOD2 command for the optical ports does not retrieve any value
The RTRV-TH-MOD2 command for the optical ports does not retrieve any value when the MONTYPE specified in the command is "ALL" with the FEND location, and returns the error "/* Far End Performance Monitoring Values Not Supported */." The workaround is to use the following commands to retrieve the threshold values of the optical ports:
•
•
•
This issue will be resolved in a future release.
Resolved Caveats for Release 8.5.3
This section documents caveats resolved in Release 8.5.3.
Data I/O Cards
This section documents resolved caveats for Data I/O Cards in Release 8.5.3.
CSCsg35077—Cisco IOS crashes while processing malformed ISAKMP message
A device with a valid IPSec configuration that is running Cisco IOS software may crash during processing of an Internet Key Exchange (IKE) message. This issue has been resolved.
CSCsm21404—Packet loss with soft reset of CE-MR-6 or CE-MR-10 card
The traffic is affected for 1000 milliseconds when a CE-MR-6/CE-MR-10 card is soft reset after an SW-LCAS circuit is created between the CE-MR-6/CE-MR-10 card and the CE-1000-4 card. The traffic is affected for 30 milliseconds when the CE-MR-6/CE-MR-10 card is soft reset after an SW-LCAS circuit is created between the CE-1000 card and the CE-MR-6/CE-MR-10 card. This issue has been resolved.
CSCso20106—Hard reset of CTX card results in traffic loss
A hard reset of an active CTX card can result in defective members and a VCG degrade condition is raised on existing HW-LCAS circuits even after the CTX card is up. The workaround is to move defective members to OOS OOG state and back to IS state to recover bandwidth. This issue has been resolved.
CSCsq14370—ifspeed query results in incorrect value for circuit size
When queried, the ifspeed parameter returns a value of 1000 for the POS port irrespective of the circuit size provisioned on CE-MR-6 or CE-MR-10 cards. This issue has been resolved.
Maintenance and Administration
This section documents resolved caveats for Maintenance and Administration in Release 8.5.3.
