Products Affected

Problem Description

SSCOP stuck in reset state on both sides of an NNI link in networks with network Clock Distribution protocol (NCDP) enabled.

Background

The node should have NCDP-enabled ports. Enable the NCDP using cnfncdp -distributionMode 1 if it is not enabled, then issue the switchcccommand

Note:? The problem may not always occur.

Problem Symptoms

Use the command dspsscops on the affected switch. Below is an example of hung SSCOP and a functioning SSCOP.

Also use the command dsppnports -s1 1 to see that no connections exist on the affected port.

Workaround/Solution

Proactive Workaround: After enabling NCDP do a resetcd on the standby. This will clear any problem that could appear on the standby and any switchcc later will not cause any problems.

Reactive Workaround: If the problem shows up after switchcc, down the affected port and up it again. This will clear the problem. Since no connections are routed on the port, no traffic is affected.

Solution: Release 3.0.23 is planned to have the fix for this anomaly. Please monitor bug CSCdz46762 through Cisco.com Bug Toolkit to see which version of 3.0.2x contains the fix.

Recommendation: Cisco recommends that users wait for the fixed release before upgrading to a 3.0 release if NCDP will be enabled on the network.
