Cisco Cloud Services Platform 2100 Release Notes
This document describes the features, limitations, and bugs for the Cisco Cloud Services Platform 2100, Release 2.0.0.
Information About Cisco Cloud Services Platform 2100
Cisco Cloud Services Platform 2100 (Cisco CSP 2100) is a software and hardware platform for data center network functions virtualization. This open kernel virtual machine (KVM) platform, with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7.2 as the base operating system, is designed to host networking virtual services.
Cisco CSP 2100 also supports services from other third-party vendors, including application firewalls, application delivery controllers, and value-added mobility services. Cisco CSP 2100 provides REST APIs, a web interface, and a command-line interface (CLI) for creating and managing the virtual machine (VM) lifecycle.
Supported Cisco Networking Services
Cisco CSP 2100 supports the following Cisco networking services:
Cisco Virtual Supervisor Module (VSM) for Cisco Nexus 1000V Switch deployments (VMware vSphere, KVM, and Microsoft Hyper-V).
Cisco Virtual Security Gateway (VSG) for Cisco Nexus 1000V Switch deployments.
Cisco Cloud Services Router (CSR) 1000V Series.
Cisco Adaptive Security Virtual Appliance (ASAv), supports QCOW image only.
Cisco Prime Data Center Network Manager (DCNM).
Cisco Virtual Network Analysis Module (vNAM).
New Features and Enhancements
Cisco CSP 2100, Release 2.0.0 includes the following features and enhancements:
Feature
Description
Day0 Configuration Support
This feature allows you to specify a Day0 configuration file while creating a service. The Day0 configuration file contains the configuration that is used to create a service. You can specify the Day0 configuration file using the web interface, CLI, or REST API.
NFS Support
This feature allows you to add an NFS storage location. You can add an NFS location using the web interface, CLI, or REST API.
Multiple Disks Support
This feature allows you to add up to two storage disks for a service. You can add the storage disks using the web interface, CLI, or REST API.
Serial Port Support
This feature allows you to add serial ports to a service. You can add a serial port using the web interface, CLI, or REST API.
Service Template Support
This feature allows you to create a service using a template, save a service as a template, and delete a template. This feature is supported through the web interface.
Service Import and Export Support
This feature allows you to export a service and create or import a service using an exported service. Cisco CSP 2100 supports VSBs imported from Cisco Nexus 1010 and Cisco Nexus 1110 platforms. You can import or export a service using the web interface, CLI, or REST API.
UDP-Only Support for Remote Syslog Server
This feature allows you to specify that the remote syslog server uses only UDP port for transport. You can configure this feature using the CLI or REST API.
Web Interface Enhancement
This enhancement provides a redesigned web interface for improved ease of use.
Configuration Limits
Use the following configuration limits for the Cisco CSP 2100 server.
Component
Supported Limits
Number of services in a node with hyperthreading enabled
15
(Each service can have a maximum of 2 virtual CPUs + 4 GB RAM.)
Number of services in a node with hyperthreading disabled
7
(Each service can have a maximum of 2 virtual CPUs + 4 GB RAM.)
Total number of nodes in a cluster
5
Number of vNICs per service
10
Important Notes and Restrictions
The following topics provide important notes and restrictions for Cisco CSP 2100.
Changing IP Address of the Management Interface for NFS Configurations
If NFS is configured on the system, note the following:
Changing the management IP address causes an outage of the VNC console and stats collection for 15-30 minutes.
Reboot of the system can take up to 30 minutes.
As a workaround, you can unconfigure the NFS mount before performing these operations and reconfigure the NFS mount after the operation is complete. You can also reboot the system from the CSP 2100 CIMC connection.

Open Bugs
The following table lists the ID and description of open bugs that apply to Cisco CSP 2100, Release 2.0.0.
Bug ID
Description
Extra storage disk is recreated when a service is powered off and powered on.
LLDP information not displayed for pNICs in a port channel.
A storage disk cannot be deleted using the web interface.
The vsb_trans_daemon died message is displayed if service VSB is powered off while creating a service VSB.
The VNC viewer console hangs for imported Cisco Nexus 1110 service image.
10G pNIC speed incorrectly displayed as 1G when the pNIC is used in the passthrough mode.
Import feature does not use the imported storage disk.
Incorrectly configuring NFS storage parameters can result into vsb_trans_daemon restart.
While configuring a service through CLI, a check is required to verify that a correct pNIC name is provided.
Images larger than 2 GB cannot be copied using the web interface.
