Bias-Free Language

The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

Caveats

When editing an installed feature’s configuration file to update that feature's password, ensure that you enter a plain text password. For example, you would do the following to change the password for the netconf-connector-all feature:
1. Navigate to the /opt/cisco/controller/etc/opendaylight/karaf directory and open 99-netconf-connector.xml in a text editor.
2. Locate the following line and enter the appropriate plain text password:
  
  <password xmlns="urn:opendaylight:params:xml:ns:yang:controller:md:sal:connector:netconf”><new-password></password>
Open SDN Controller will automatically encrypt the new password and update the configuration file with the encrypted password.
Do not use the percent sign (%) in any password you configure. You will not be able to log in to Open SDN Controller with a password that contains this character.
CSCux01997—In the OVA, the default network group labels assigned to network adapter 2 and 3 are incorrect. The labels should be reversed, listing southbound for network adapter 2 and east-west for network adapter 3. Note that this caveat has no functional impact on Open SDN Controller.
