Only Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.2 is supported for HTTPS and TLS related secured communication, for example, RADIUS EAP-TLS. Support for TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all versions of SSL has been disabled due to security vulnerabilities.
This means that all peer systems and clients that transact with Cisco EPN Manager using HTTPS/TLS must support TLS 1.2. If they do not support TLS 1.2, they must be upgraded. Where possible, the Cisco EPN Manager documentation highlights the potentially affected systems. Please contact your Cisco representative for support in this regard, if necessary.
The ISIS overlay shows links for an individual ISIS process on the ISIS network.
When provisioning a service, if you have not provided a value for any of the attributes, the provisioned value for those attributes will be displayed as “Missing” in the reconciliation report. The device may have default values for these attributes but Cisco EPN Manager does not have any values configured.
The Y.1564 performance test does not work if the source/destination is a ME 1200 device.
The following functionality does not work on NCS 4200 devices running IOS-XE 16.8.1:
