Important Notes
The Cisco RF Gateway 10 Supervisor Engine 7-E uplink ports are not recommended for data or management traffic. The Supervisor 7-E card has four uplink ports on its front panel. Only the top two ports are active in redundancy mode. However, in redundancy mode, packet loss occurs in the traffic paths between the uplink ports on the standby Supervisor card and the switch fabric on the active Supervisor card. There is no packet loss for uplink ports on active supervisors.The uplink ports on the Cisco RFGW-10 DS-384 and the Cisco RFGW-10 DS-48 line cards are recommended for data and management traffic.
Cisco IOS-XE Release 3.4.1SQ
- Effective with Cisco IOS-XE Release 3.4.1SQ, the reserved PID range is 256 - 8159.
- Effective with Cisco IOS-XE Release 3.4.1SQ, the show cable depi-ctrl-sessions teardown details command is introduced to view the session failure reason and the time of failure for particular DEPI session.
- Effective with Cisco IOS-XE Release 3.4.1SQ, the cable downstream 8MHz-overlap-start-freq frequency command is introduced to configure the starting frequency for the 8MHz overlap block for Annex A.
Cisco IOS-XE Release 3.4.0SQ
- Effective with Cisco IOS-XE Release 3.4.0SQ, the onid keyword is removed from the cable downstream tsid command and replaced with the cable downstream onid command.
- Effective from Cisco IOS-XE Release 3.4.0SQ, if Annex A is configured, then the Logical QAM groups must be configured contiguously, for example, lqam-group1, lqam-group2, lqam-group3, and so on.
- Effective with Cisco IOS-XE Release 3.4.0SQ, while using the replicate-qam command, the keywords qam, Qam, qam-red, Qam-red should be explicitly typed. Typing q or Q and pressing Tab will not auto-complete it.
- Effective with Cisco IOS-XE Release 3.4.0SQ, a replicate with DEPI remote learn should be removed from the QRG before defaulting it, if not it may lead to QRG corruption.
- Effective with Cisco IOS-XE Release 3.4.0SQ, a PID should be filtered before scrambling a session, filtering of PID on the scrambled session can lead to unwarranted results.
- Effective with Cisco IOS-XE Release 3.4.0SQ, bulk QRG removal is supported only through GUI. It takes about 3 seconds to complete the action with this option. While using this option the user should not simultaneously access the console to enter any commands. If the console is accessed simultaneously, the QRG removal in the standby supervisor card may be affected.
- Effective with Cisco IOS-XE Release 3.4.0SQ, scrambling of MPTS remap sessions are not supported.
