Prior to upgrading your fabric to release 15.0(1) or later, replace these hardware elements in your fabric with other supported hardware. For modular spine switches, replace all unsupported modular line cards and fabric modules because these old generation line cards and fabric modules cannot be operated with newer line cards and fabric modules in the same chassis.

If you attempt to upgrade one of the unsupported hardware to the 15.0(1) release or later, the hardware will unsuccessfully attempt to boot three times, after which the switch will be reverted to the release that was previously installed on it.  Therefore, the unsupported hardware will not upgrade to release 15.0(1) or later and the Cisco ACI fabric will operate with inconsistent firmware releases in each switch, which is why we recommend that you replace the unsupported hardware prior to performing the upgrade.

CSCvr61096

In a port group that has ports of mixed speeds, the first port in the port group that has valid optics present and is not in the admin down state is processed. The ports that come up later are brought up if they are using the same speed; otherwise, they are put in the hw-disabled state.

For example, if ports 14 and 15 are up and are using the 100G speed, then if ports 13 and 16 are using the 40G speed, these ports will be put in the hw-disabled state. After reloading or upgrading, you might not have the same interfaces in the port group in the UP state and in the hw-disabled state as you did before the reload or upgrade.

CSCwe08179

A peer vPC leg goes down after swapping a 16 port LEM with an 8 port LEM. The following error shows in the "show vpc" output: "Peer does not have corresponding vPC". The leg on the peer switch immediately comes up, but traffic is still disrupted.

16.1(1f) and later

CSCwe33967

After deleting or adding a VRF instance, the BGP peer session picks up the default timer values instead of the configured values. This is evidenced by the holdIntvl and kaIntvl values in the bgpPeerEntry managed object in the policy engine. The issue happens intermittently.

16.1(1f) and later

CSCwe41508

As a result of new features, certain PIDs running ACI release 6.1(1) software in 32-bit architecture will see increase in memory consumption and their process virtual address space.

This particular issue is seen with a trigger of 500 bridge domain (BD) deletions and addition in a scale configuration of 64k fvrspath scale, 1980 BDs  along with 123k policycam entries. In release 6.1(1) with a 32-bit image, process memory could run close to the limit of 4GB.”

In this scenario, EPM is running at 3.9GB. During the vlan creation as part of the above trigger, EPM attempts to retrieve sclass corresponding to the vlan through DME and DME access is failing. Memory map failures are seen through the instance of EPM.

The DME failure may be due to mmap failures.

16.1(1f) and later

CSCwe97510

When AN On-Enforce is enabled on QDD-4ZQ100G-COPPER breakouts on switches with -GX or -GX2 in the product ID, the links do not come up.

CSCwf88389

After an SVI member port flap, ECMP hashing no longer uses the flapped SVI's path and instead uses other SVI paths.

16.1(1f) and later

CSCwf90351

With the rogue endpoint feature, a MAC address gets flagged as rogue. A leaf switch ignores any further moves of the rogue endpoint for 15 minutes, which can cause an outage. Traffic coming from a FEX vPC carries the Physical Tunnel Endpoint (PTEP) as the source IP address of the outer header (SIPo) instead of the FEX vPC Tunnel Endpoint (TEP).

16.1(1f) and later

N/A

Load balancers and servers must be Layer 2 adjacent. Layer 3 direct server return is not supported. If a load balancer and servers are Layer 3 adjacent, then they have to be placed behind the Layer 3 out, which works without a specific direct server return virtual IP address configuration.

16.1(1f) and later

N/A

IPN should preserve the CoS and DSCP values of a packet that enters IPN from the ACI spine switches. If there is a default policy on these nodes that change the CoS value based on the DSCP value or by any other mechanism, you must apply a policy to prevent the CoS value from being changed. At the minimum, the remarked CoS value should not be 4, 5, 6, or 7. If CoS is changed in the IPN, you must configure a DSCP-CoS translation policy in the APIC for the pod that translates queuing class information of the packet into the DSCP value in the outer header of the iVXLAN packet. You can also embed CoS by enabling CoS preservation. For more information, see the Cisco APIC and QoS KB article.

16.1(1f) and later

N/A

The following properties within a QoS class under "Global QoS Class policies" should not be changed from their default value and is only used for debugging purposes:

MTU (default – 9216 bytes)

Queue Control Method (default – Dynamic)

Queue Limit (default – 1522 bytes)

Minimum Buffers (default – 0)

16.1(1f) and later

N/A

The modular chassis Cisco ACI spine nodes, such as the Cisco Nexus 9508, support warm (stateless) standby where the state is not synched between the active and the standby supervisor modules. For an online insertion and removal (OIR) or reload of the active supervisor module, the standby supervisor module becomes active, but all modules in the switch are reset because the switchover is stateless. In the output of the show system redundancy status command, warm standby indicates stateless mode.

16.1(1f) and later

N/A

When a recommissioned APIC controller rejoins the cluster, GUI and CLI commands can time out while the cluster expands to include the recommissioned APIC controller.

16.1(1f) and later

N/A

If connectivity to the APIC cluster is lost while a switch is being decommissioned, the decommissioned switch may not complete a clean reboot. In this case, the fabric administrator should manually complete a clean reboot of the decommissioned switch.

16.1(1f) and later

N/A

Before expanding the APIC cluster with a recommissioned controller, remove any decommissioned switches from the fabric by powering down and disconnecting them. Doing so will ensure that the recommissioned APIC controller will not attempt to discover and recommission the switch.

16.1(1f) and later

N/A

Multicast router functionality is not supported when IGMP queries are received with VxLAN encapsulation.

16.1(1f) and later

N/A

IGMP Querier election across multiple Endpoint Groups (EPGs) or Layer 2 outsides (External Bridged Network) in a given bridge domain is not supported. Only one EPG or Layer 2 outside for a given bridge domain should be extended to multiple multicast routers if any.

16.1(1f) and later

N/A

The rate of the number of IGMP reports sent to a leaf switch should be limited to 1000 reports per second.

16.1(1f) and later

N/A

Unknown IP multicast packets are flooded on ingress leaf switches and border leaf switches, unless "unknown multicast flooding" is set to "Optimized Flood" in a bridge domain. This knob can be set to "Optimized Flood" only for a maximum of 50 bridge domains per leaf switch.

If "Optimized Flood" is enabled for more than the supported number of bridge domains on a leaf switch, follow these configuration steps to recover:

Set "unknown multicast flooding" to "Flood" for all bridge domains mapped to a leaf switch.

Set "unknown multicast flooding" to "Optimized Flood" on needed bridge domains.

16.1(1f) and later

N/A

Traffic destined to Static Route EP VIPs sourced from N9000 switches (switches with names that end in -EX) might not function properly because proxy route is not programmed.

16.1(1f) and later

N/A

An iVXLAN header of 50 bytes is added for traffic ingressing into the fabric. A bandwidth allowance of (50/50 + ingress_packet_size) needs to be made to prevent oversubscription from happening. If the allowance is not made, oversubscription might happen resulting in buffer drops.

16.1(1f) and later

N/A

An IP/MAC Ckt endpoint configuration is not supported in combination with static endpoint configurations.

16.1(1f) and later

N/A

An IP/MAC Ckt endpoint configuration is not supported with Layer 2-only bridge domains. Such a configuration will not be blocked, but the configuration will not take effect as there is no Layer 3 learning in these bridge domains.

16.1(1f) and later

N/A

An IP/MAC Ckt endpoint configuration is not supported with external and infra bridge domains because there is no Layer 3 learning in these bridge domains.

16.1(1f) and later

N/A

An IP/MAC Ckt endpoint configuration is not supported with a shared services provider configuration. The same or overlapping prefix cannot be used for a shared services provider and IP Ckt endpoint. However, this configuration can be applied in bridge domains having shared services consumer endpoint groups.

16.1(1f) and later

N/A

An IP/MAC Ckt endpoint configuration is not supported with dynamic endpoint groups. Only static endpoint groups are supported.

16.1(1f) and later

N/A

No fault will be raised if the IP/MAC Ckt endpoint prefix configured is outside of the bridge domain subnet range. This is because a user can configure bridge domain subnet and IP/MAC Ckt endpoint in any order and so this is not error condition. If the final configuration is such that a configured IP/MAC Ckt endpoint prefix is outside all bridge domain subnets, the configuration has no impact and is not an error condition.

16.1(1f) and later

N/A

Dynamic deployment of contracts based on instrImmedcy set to onDemand/lazy not supported; only immediate mode is supported.

16.1(1f) and later

N/A

When a server and load balancer are on the same endpoint group, make sure that the Server does not generate ARP/GARP/ND request/response/solicits. This will lead to learning of LB virtual IP (VIP) towards the Server and defeat the purpose of DSR support.

16.1(1f) and later

N/A

Direct server return is not supported for shared services. Direct server return endpoints cannot be spread around different virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) contexts.

16.1(1f) and later

N/A

Configurations for a virtual IP address can only be /32 or /128 prefix.

16.1(1f) and later

N/A

Client to virtual IP address (load balancer) traffic always will go through proxy-spine because fabric data-path learning of a virtual IP address does not occur.

16.1(1f) and later

N/A

GARP learning of a virtual IP address must be explicitly enabled. A load balancer can send GARP when it switches over from active-to-standby (MAC changes).

16.1(1f) and later

N/A

Learning through GARP will work only in ARP Flood Mode.

16.1(1f) and later

Compatibility Information

●      For the supported optics per device, see the Cisco Optics-to-Device Compatibility Matrix.

●      100mb optics, such as the GLC-TE, are supported in 100mb speed only on -EX, -FX, -FX2, and -FX3 switches, such as the N9K-C93180YC-EX and N9K-C93180YC-FX, and only on front panel ports 1/1-48. 100mb optics are not supported any other switches. 100mb optics cannot be used on EX or FX leaf switches on port profile converted downlink ports (1/49-52) using QSA.

●      This release supports the hardware and software listed on the ACI Ecosystem Compatibility List, and supports the Cisco AVS, release 5.2(2)SV3(3.10).

●      To connect the N2348UPQ to ACI leaf switches, the following options are available:

◦    Directly connect the 40G FEX ports on the N2348UPQ to the 40G switch ports on the ACI leaf switches

◦    Break out the 40G FEX ports on the N2348UPQ to 4x10G ports and connect to the 10G ports on all other ACI leaf switches

Note: A fabric uplink port cannot be used as a FEX fabric port.

●      To connect the Cisco APIC (the controller cluster) to the Cisco ACI fabric, it is required to have a 10G interface on the ACI leaf switch.

●      We do not qualify third party optics in Cisco ACI. When using third party optics, the behavior across releases is not guaranteed, meaning that the optics might not work in some NX-OS releases. Use third party optics at your own risk. We recommend that you use Cisco SFPs, which have been fully tested in each release to ensure consistent behavior.

●      On Cisco ACI platforms, 25G copper optics do not honor auto-negotiation, and therefore auto-negotiation on the peer device (ESX or standalone) must be disabled to bring up the links.

●      10G GLC-T transceivers cannot be used for the initial bring up between the Cisco APIC and a leaf switch. The fabric discovery process cannot occur because the transceiver needs the SFP media type to be pushed from the Cisco APIC to bring up the link.

●      You cannot use the 100 megabit speed of a switch's QSFP28 ports.

●      Cisco NX-OS uses an SSL library called CiscoSSL, which is a customized version of the OpenSSL library to support CVE fixes and FIPS compliance. Cisco maintains an extended support contract with OpenSSL. CVE fixes from OpenSSL upstream is regularly incorporated in the older versions of CiscoSSL library as well.

●      If you are using 10G copper cables, when you configure a link level policy, you must set the Physical Media Type to "SFP 10G TX."

●      Do not use dual-rate optics (SFP-10/25G-LR-S and SFP-10/25G-CSR-S) for a Cisco APIC-to-switch fabric connection.

Compatibility Information

N9K-X9400-16W

A port enters the hw-disabled state if you connect a 10G, 40G, or 100G cable next to a port that is connected as 200G-SR. This is because ports next to each other, such as port 1-2, 3-4, or 15-16, share the same MAC address, and only the 200G port comes up between the two.

N9K-X9716D-GX

If you connect a Cisco N9K-X9716D-GX breakout port to a non-Cisco ACI peer, such as a standalone switch capable of 100G, the link comes up and LLDP is detected. However, this is an unsupported scenario, but no fault is generated.

Table 17.     Fixed Spine Switches Compatibility Information

Product ID

Compatibility Information

N9K-C9408

This switch has the following limitations:

●  You cannot use the 2x100G breakout speed in this release. This consideration is applicable to both N9K-X9400-16W and N9K-X9400-8D LEMs.

●  PTP and SyncE are not supported.

●  With the N9K-X9400-16W LEM, the pair of port in the same row must be used as either 40/100G or 10G with QSA. For example, if 1/1 is used as 10G with QSA, 1/2 can be used as 10G with QSA but not as 40/100G. If a 40/100G optic is inserted to 1/2, the port becomes hw-disabled. This consideration is not applicable to N9K-X9400-8D LEM.

●  The SFP management port on the supervisor module does not work.

●  Each chassis supports up to 32 high power optics in total: QDD-400G-ZR-S and QDD-400G-ZRP-S

N9K-C9364C

You can deploy multipod or Cisco ACI Multi-Site separately (but not together) on the Cisco N9K-9364C switch starting in the 3.1 release.  You can deploy multipod and Cisco ACI Multi-Site together on the Cisco N9K-9364C switch starting in the 3.2 release.

A 930W-DC PSU (NXA-PDC-930W-PE or NXA-PDC-930W-PI) is supported in redundancy mode if 3.5W QSFP+ modules or passive QSFP cables are used and the system is used in 40C ambient temperature or less; for other optics or a higher ambient temperature, a 930W-DC PSU is supported only with 2 PSUs in non-redundancy mode.

1-Gigabit QSA is not supported on ports 1/49-64.

This switch supports the following PSUs:

●  NXA-PAC-1200W-PE

Compatibility Information

N9K-C9408

This switch has the following limitations:

●  You cannot use the 2x100G breakout speed in this release. This consideration is applicable to both N9K-X9400-16W and N9K-X9400-8D LEMs.

●  Only ports 1 to 6 support port profiles for both the 8D and 16C line-card Ethernet modules (LEMs).

●  If a port profile is already configured on a LEM and you replace that LEM with a different LEM type, the switch sets the status of the new LEM to "lem-type-mismatch" and Cisco APIC raises the following fault: "Module opertational state changed to LEM type mismatch, please make sure no other lem-type port profile is configured in this slot." To use the new LEM type, you must reload the chassis.

●  PTP and SyncE are not supported.

●  With the N9K-X9400-16W LEM, the pair of port in the same row must be used as either 40/100G or 10G with QSA. For example, if 1/1 is used as 10G with QSA, 1/2 can be used as 10G with QSA but not as 40/100G. If a 40/100G optic is inserted to 1/2, the port becomes hw-disabled. This consideration is not applicable to N9K-X9400-8D LEM.

●  You cannot configure breakout on even ports of the N9K-X9400-16W LEM.

●  After you configure breakout on an odd port of the N9K-X9400-16W LEM, the next even port will be HW-disabled.

●  You see the LEM type mismatch status if you swap LEMs when a port profile configuration exists.

●  The SFP management port on the supervisor module does not work.

●  Some ARP to gateway packets get dropped with the reason of "ACL_DROP."

●  Each chassis supports up to 32 high power optics in total: QDD-400G-ZR-S and QDD-400G-ZRP-S

●  FEXes are not supported.

N9K-C9364C-GX

This switch has the following limitations:

●  For ports 1-64, every 4 ports 1-4,5-8...60-64 is referred as a quad. Each quad can be operated only with a fixed speed. For example: Ports 1-4 can operate only on 10G or 40/100G. Similarly, ports 60-64 can operate only on 10G or 40/]100G.

●  You cannot use mixed speeds of 10G and 40G, 10G and 100G, or 40G and 100G in a quad (1-4,5-8...21-24). Based on the port bring up sequence, the port in the quad where a speed mismatch is detected will be HW disabled.

●  If there is a speed mismatch in a quad even when the ports are configured in the disabled state, the working links in that quad might get into the HW disabled state upon upgrading and reloading because the mixed speed is brought up first before the admin down configuration is pushed. As a result, you must manually perform the shut and no shut commands on the ports to bring up the links.

●  Breakout of 4x25G or 4x10G ports is not supported.

●  There is a lane selector button on the hardware. The button is used for the breakout port LED status. Because breakout is not supported, this button does nothing.

●  The maximum number of downlinks is 30 x 4 ports 10/25G (breakout) + 2 ports (1/61-62) = 122 ports. Ports 1/63 and 1/64 are reserved for fabric links and even numbers from 1/1 to 1/60 are error-disabled.

●  1G and 100MB speeds are not supported.

N9K-C93600CD-GX

This switch has the following limitations:

●  Auto-negotiation is not supported with 10G speed on ports 1 through 24.

●  For ports 1 through 24, every 4 ports (1-4, 5-8, 9-12, and so on, referred to as a "quad") will operate at a fixed speed. That is, all 4 ports will operate in 10G or 40/100G; you cannot mix the speeds.

●  Mixed speeds of 10G and 40G or 10G and 100G in a quad is not supported. Based on the port bring up sequence, the port in the quad where the speed mismatch is detected will be HW disabled.

●  If there is a speed mismatch in a quad even though the ports are configured in the disabled state, the working links in that quad might get into the HW disabled state upon upgrading or reloading, as the mixed speed is brought up first before admin down config is pushed. To avoid this issue, you must manually use the shut and no shut commands on the working ports to bring up the links. For more information, see bug CSCvr61096.

●  Ports 25-26 and ports 27-28 (port groups of 2 ports each) will operate in a fixed speed within the respective group, and you cannot mismatch the speed.

●  Uplink ports 29 to 36 do not have a mixed speed restriction; you can toggle the speed for the bidirectional ports.

●  For ports 1 to 28, even if you convert any ports to uplink with bidirectional optics, you cannot toggle the speed, as it will introduce mixed speeds and will disturb the neighboring ports.

●  For ports 1 to 28, if any of the ports are converted to uplink with bidirectional optics, the ports will stay in the not connected state if the peer is a 40G link.

●  4x10 and 4x25 breakout is supported on ports 25-28 and 29-34 (port profile converted downlinks).

●  Ports 25-26 and 27-28 form respective port pairs, and each pair can operate with 4x10, 10G, or 4x25G speed.

●  The Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) will spike and the console can hang if a port channel or vPC exists when overlying breakout ports are deleted. To avoid this issue, delete the PC or vPC before deleting the overlying breakout policy.

●  The maximum number of downlinks is 12 x 4 ports 10/25G (breakout) + 10 x 4 ports 10/25G (breakout) = 88 ports. Ports 35 and 36 are reserved for fabric links and 12 ports are error-disabled.

●  1G and 100M speeds are not supported.

N9K-C9364D-GX2A

Ports 65 and 66 do not support flow telemetry nor NetFlow.

N9K-C9348D-GX2A

●  This switch supports the following PSUs:

◦    NXA-PAC-1500W-PE

◦    NXA-PAC-1500W-PI

◦  NXA-PDC-1100W-PI

●  If you use port-side exhaust for this switch, do not overcrowd the switch in the rack. Make sure that you have 2 rack units of empty space above and below the switch.

N9K-C9316D-GX

Auto-negotiation and forward error correction are not supported when you use this switch is as a leaf switch.

N9K-C93180YC-FX3

The following information applies to this switch:

●  The following ports are not supported:

◦  Antenna

◦  GNSS

◦  GPS

◦  PPS

◦  PTP GM

●  When using the SFP-10G-T-X optic on a port, the you must either leave the physically adjacent ports empty or only deploy direct attach cables (DACs) to those ports.

●  If you insert a non-DAC optic in a port that is physically adjacent to a port that is capable of supporting a 10G GLC-T optic, and later you insert a GLC-T optic into the GLC-T-capable port, the GLC-T optic will be hw-disabled. To bring up the GLC-T port, you must shut down the non-DAC port, then run the shut and no shut commands on the GLC-T port.

●  When using this switch as a FEX, QoS stats (as shown by the "show queuing interface ethernet" CLI command) are not supported on the parent Cisco ACI leaf switch.

N9K-C9336C-FX2

The following information applies to this switch:

●  On older N9K-C9336C-FX2 switches, auto-negotiation does not work on port eth1/4. You can check whether your switch is older by using the following command:

ifav124-leaf5# cat /sys/kernel/cisco_board_info/hw_change_bits

0x0

The output of "0x0" indicates an older switch that has this limitation.

●  You can apply a breakout configuration on ports 1 through 34, which can give up to 136 (34*4) server or downlink ports.

●  Port profiles and breakouts are not supported on the same port. However, you can apply a port profile to convert a fabric port to a downlink, and then apply a breakout configuration.

●  If you apply a breakout configuration on 34 ports, you must configure a port profile on the ports first, which requires you to reboot the leaf switch.

●  If you apply a breakout configuration to a leaf switch for multiple ports at the same time, it can take up to 10 minutes for the hardware of 34 ports to be programmed. The ports remain down until the programming completes. The delay can occur for a new configuration, after a clean reboot, or during switch discovery.

●  Ports 7 through 32 have a link bring up time of less than 2 seconds with QSFP-100G-LR4 and QSFP-40/100G-SRBD optics. For all other ports, the link up time for these optics is between 5 to 14 seconds. In the following situations, the link bring up time will also be greater than 2 seconds:

◦  After reloading the leaf switch switch

◦  When using port optical insertion and removal (OIR)

◦  When performing bulk flaps of ports on the leaf switch

N9K-C93240YC-FX2

The following information applies when this switch is configured with port-side intake airflow:

●      The following additional CloudSec compatibility restrictions apply:

◦    CloudSec only works with spine switches in Cisco ACI and only works between sites managed by Cisco ACI Multi-Site.

◦    For CloudSec to work properly, all of the spine switch links that participate in Cisco ACI Multi-Site must have MACsec/CloudSec support.

Usage Guidelines

●      The current list of protocols that are allowed (and cannot be blocked through contracts) include the following. Some of the protocols have SrcPort/DstPort distinction. See the Cisco Application Policy Infrastructure Controller Release Notes, Release 6.1(1) for policy information.

◦    UDP DestPort 161: SNMP. These cannot be blocked through contracts. Creating an SNMP ClientGroup with a list of Client-IP Addresses restricts SNMP access to only those configured Client-IP Addresses. If no Client-IP address is configured, SNMP packets are allowed from anywhere.

◦    TCP SrcPort 179: BGP

◦    TCP DstPort 179: BGP

◦    OSPF

◦    UDP DstPort 67: BOOTP/DHCP

◦    UDP DstPort 68: BOOTP/DHCP

◦    IGMP

◦    PIM

◦    UDP SrcPort 53: DNS replies

◦    TCP SrcPort 25: SMTP replies

◦    TCP DstPort 443: HTTPS

◦    UDP SrcPort 123: NTP

◦    UDP DstPort 123: NTP

●      Leaf switches and spine switches typically have memory utilization of approximately 70% to 75%, even in a new deployment where no configuration has been pushed. This amount of memory utilization is due to the Cisco ACI-specific processes, which take up more memory compared to a standalone Nexus deployment. The memory utilization is not a problem unless it exceeds 90%. You can open a Cisco TAC case to troubleshoot proactively when memory utilization is more than 85%.

●      Leaf and spine switches from two different fabrics cannot be connected regardless of whether the links are administratively kept down.

●      If you replace a switch where a Cisco APIC is connected, make sure that the Cisco APIC has two connections: one active/backup to the replaced switch and another to a different switch. Otherwise, the Cisco APIC will not join the cluster after you replace the switch.

●      Only one instance of OSPF (or any multi-instance process using the managed object hierarchy for configurations) can have the write access to operate the database. Due to this, the operational database is limited to the default OSPF process alone and the multipodInternal instance does not store any operational data. To debug an OSPF instance ospf-multipodInternal, use the command in VSH prompt. Do not use ibash because some ibash commands depend on Operational data stored in the database.

●      When you enable or disable Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) on a Cisco ACI fabric, you must reload each of the switches in the fabric for the change to take effect. The configured scale profile setting is lost when you issue the first reload after changing the FIPS configuration. The switch remains operational, but it uses the default port scale profile. This issue does not happen on subsequent reloads if the FIPS configuration has not changed.

◦    FIPS is supported on Cisco NX-OS release 15.2(2) or later. If you must downgrade the firmware from a release that supports FIPS to a release that does not support FIPS, you must first disable FIPS on the Cisco ACI fabric and reload all of the switches in the fabric.

●      When using a 25G Mellanox cable that is connected to a Mellanox NIC, you can set the ACI leaf switch port to run at a speed of 25G or 10G.

●      You cannot enable auto-negotiation on the spine switch or leaf switch side with 40G or 100G CR4 optics. For 40G copper transceivers, you must disable auto-negotiation and set the speed to 40G. For 100G copper transceivers, you must disable auto-negotiation on the remote end and set the speed to 100G.

●      You cannot enable auto-negotiation on an active QSFP to SFP/SFP+ Adapter (QSA) module. You can enable auto-negotiation only on a passive QSA module. The following example CLI command shows an active QSA module:

module-1# show platform internal usd port info | grep -A 10 "Eth1/42"

●      You can enable auto-negotiation for 10G, 25G, 40G, or 100G on downlink ports on a Cisco ACI leaf switch. However, you cannot enable auto-negotiation on spine ports and uplink ports on a Cisco ACI leaf switch. Therefore, if the Inter-Pod Network (IPN) is connected to the spine ports using copper cables, you should disable auto-negotiation on the peer node that is the IPN port. Similarly, if a remote leaf switch is connected to the IPN using copper cables on the uplink port, you should disable auto-negotiation on the peer node that is the IPN port.

●      A 25G link that is using the IEEE-RS-FEC mode can communicate with a link that is using the CL16-RS-FEC mode. There will not be a FEC mismatch and the link will not be impacted.

●      When the provider edge router is an IOS XR device, the router does not support route re-origination from one EVPN stitching site to another EVPN stitching site.
