Consult the troubleshooting guide for your release and platform for appropriate troubleshooting procedures. To exit without logging in, enter a Control-D (press the Control and D keys at the same time) at the Username prompt. To exit after logging in, type "logout" at the VxWorks shell prompt.
![]()
Note
Cisco Transport Controller (CTC) does not support adding or creating more than five circuits in autoranged provisioning. This restriction is intentional.
![]()
Note
In releases earlier than Cisco ONS Release 4.6, you could independently set proxy server gateway settings; however, with Cisco ONS Release 4.6.x and later, this is no longer the case. To retain the integrity of existing network configurations, settings made in a pre-4.6 release are not changed upon upgrading to Cisco ONS Release 7.x. Current settings are displayed in Cisco Transport Controller (whether they were inherited from an upgrade or they were set using the current GUI).
CSCsb88234—No plug-in message when a filler card is plugged in without prior provisioning
When a card is provisioned and a filler card is plugged in, a DBCHG with ENT-EQPT alarm is raised, but when a filler card is plugged in without a prior provision there is no plug-in message. Similarly, there is no message upon removal of the filler card. The workaround for TL1 is to issue an inventory call and the filler card appears. For Cisco Transport Controller, the card is displayed and removed when the card is removed. This issue will be resolved in a future release.
CSCsu33773—STS PM counters cannot be cleared on protect STS in BLSR switched state
STS PM counters cannot be cleared on protect STS in BLSR switched state. No workaround is available for this issue. This issue will be resolved in a future release.
CSCsu62968—DS3 Port changes to IS from AINS state after soak expiry without valid input signal
DS3 ports of DS1-28/DS3-EC1-3 and DS1-84/DS3-EC1-3 cards changes from AINS to IS state after an AINS soak time expiry without a valid input signal. The workaround is to manually edit the DS1 port state after rebooting, or change the state to any other state except OOS,DSBLD and then revert the state to OOS,DSBLD. This issue will be resolved in a future release.
Optical I/O Cards
This section documents caveats for Optical I/O Cards in Release 8.6.
CSCsx13871—OC-3 PPM on 15310-MA node does not report PJ-Gen performance monitors
PJ-Gen is not reported for OC-3-rated pluggable port modules (PPM) after you perform the following tasks:
1.
Create an STS-1 circuit on an OC-3-rated PPM.
2.
Enable IIPPM for the same circuit (on the same OC-3 PPM).
3.
Enable PJStsMon on STS-1.
4.
Create a frequency offset into this OC-3 PPM using testset. The same PJ-Gen is not reported in CTC/TL-1.
No workaround is available for this issue.
Path Protection
This section documents caveats for Path Protection in Release 8.6.
CSCsl52122—Revertive path protection circuit may not switch to protected path during activation
A revertive path protection circuit may not switch to protected path during activation when the path protection selector does not detect the working path as Active even if that path has errors. This issue will be resolved in a future release.
TL1
This section documents caveats for TL1 in Release 8.6.
![]()
Note
To be compatible with TL1 and DNS, all nodes must have valid names. Node names should contain alphanumeric characters or hyphens, but no special characters or spaces.
CSCsu24438—RTRV-TH-MOD2 command for optical ports does not retrieve any value
The RTRV-TH-MOD2 command for optical ports does not retrieve any value when the MONTYPE specified in the command is "ALL" with the FEND location, and returns the error "/* Far End Performance Monitoring Values Not Supported */." The workaround is to use the following commands to retrieve the threshold values of the optical ports:
•
RTRV-TH-MOD2::AID:1::,FEDN;
•
RTRV-TH-ALL:::1::,FEND;
•
RTRV-TH-MOD2::AID:1::<MONTYPE>,FEND;
This issue will be resolved in a future release.
