Release Versioning Strategy

Cisco Nexus 9000 Series switches and the Cisco Nexus 3000 Series switches, use the same NX-OS binary image also called the “unified" image. The binary image covers all variations of the Cisco Nexus 9000 Series switches and Cisco Nexus 3000 Series switches. Cisco NX-OS Release 9.2(1) was the first release that adopted unified version numbering. With unified version numbering, the platform designator is obsolete.

Moving forward for the previously identified platforms, we will be adopting the simplified 3-letter versioning scheme. For example, a release with X.Y(Z) would mean:

X – Unified release major

Y – Major / Minor release

Z – Maintenance release (MR)

Where the Z = 1 is always the first FCS release of a Major/Minor release.

An example of a previous release number is: 7.0(3)I7(4). In this format, the ‘I’ is the platform designator.

Note: In order to accommodate upgrade compatibility from an older software version that is expecting a platform designator, when the install all command is entered or the show install all impact command is entered, the version string appears as 9.3(5)I9(1). The “I9(1)” portion of the string can be safely ignored. It will later appear as 9.3(5).

Note: The Cisco Nexus 34180YC and 3464C platform switches are not supported in Cisco NX-OS Release 9.3(5).

Open Issues

Bug ID	Description
CSCvq33024	Headline: TRM Multisite: traffic drop on BGW after restarting ngmvpn Symptoms: TRM traffic loss for 1-2 seconds. Workarounds: None
CSCvt28463	Headline: N9K-93XX-GX: Delayed link up between Gearbox Ports to bear valley on Peer for 40G AOC ports Symptoms: 40G AOC connection from N9K-C9364C-GX to N9K-C9364C (port 49 to 64) or N9K-C9336C-FX2 (port 1 to 6, 33 to 36) might see a longer link up time. Workarounds: Use port 1 to 48 on N9K-C9364C or port 7 to 32 on N9K-C9336C-FX2, or use other 40G optics than AOC.
CSCvt49337	Headline: N9K-C9364C-GX: 100G (1/50 AOC1M, 1/56 PSM4) steady state flap after 61st/multiple reload Symptoms: When tested with a reload loop, on one of the reloads the link flaps in steady state. Workarounds: Flap the port to recover.
CSCvu07720	Headline: Lpe16002BM6 negotiates to 8G when speed changed to auto when port in 'Link failure or not-connected' Symptoms: 16G Lpe16002B-M6 adapter is connected to a port with 32G SFP on N93360YC-FX2 switch. When the speed is set to 'auto', the port auto-negotiates to 8G instead of auto-negotiating to 16G. Workarounds: The port should be brought up in "fixed 16G" on N93360YC-FX2 switch instead of "Auto".
CSCvu67445	Headline: N9k/Cloud Scale - Flood list missing po member port - broadcast traffic loss Symptoms: Broadcast may not Tx an Ethernet port for VLAN's allowed for one of the port-channel member links. ARP request or any other form of ethernet broadcast may not reach destination. This would lead to no connectivity for affected hosts. Consistency check will report failure for VLAN membership: Example: show consistency-checker membership vlan 442 Checking hardware for Module 1 Unit 0 No FEX interfaces to validate Consistency Check: FAILED >>> Vlan:442, Hardware state consistent for: Ethernet1/41 Ethernet1/49 Ethernet1/50 Ethernet1/53 Vlan:442, Hardware state inconsistent for: Ethernet1/54 </snip> Workarounds: Enter shut/no shut (flap) the affected interface. Do not use the "port-channel port load-defer" command.
CSCvu72682	Headline: buffer-stuck on mac-block (macsec-enabled) while one-port auto-neg to 100M Symptoms: Link up but no Tx packets when speed is auto negotiated to 100M on any interface of the same port group (MacId), where macsec is/was configured previously. Seen on Cisco Nexus 9300-FX platform switches only. Workarounds: If 100M speed is desired -> Remove the MACsec configuration from all interfaces on the port group (MacId) and reload --OR -- If MACsec is not configured explicitly -> Reload with Bootup Diag Level set to Minimal. --OR -- If MACsec configuration is desired -> Reload with different peer AN speed. Note: Use the show interface hardware-mappings command to check if the ports are part of the same port group (MacId).
CSCvu80471	Headline: VXLAN vPC VTEP - Extended traffic loss when vPC peer reloads before NVE source hold timer expiry Symptoms: Traffic loss for hosts behind VPC in a VXLAN setup. NVE interface remains down after source hold-down timer expiry: # show nve interface nve1 det <> Source Interface hold-down-time: 180 >>> default time Source Interface hold-up-time: 30 Remaining hold-down time: 67 seconds. <<< after countdown finishes, goes to 0 From the same device, we can see the following in the log: %ETHPORT-5-IF_DOWN_NONE: Interface port-channel1 is down (None) <<< Virtual peer-link goes down %USER-2-SYSTEM_MSG: NVE: send reinit to bring down nve1 - nve <<< NVE goes down %NVE-5-NVE_INTF_STATE: nve1: NVE Interface state changed to down From here, VXLAN traffic will stop and all the devices behind vPC will have traffic black-holed for an extended duration Workarounds: Do not upgrade/reload on vPC Peer switch (SW2) before NVE source hold-down timer has expired on SW1.
CSCvv06363	Headline: Type 5 not propagated after Remove/add of "evpn multisite border-gateway" on Site BGW Symptoms: In a TRM use case, with the removal of multisite config and configuration replace - traffic loss is seen. Workarounds: clear bgp ipv4 mvpn <BGP router ID of remote BGW> soft out
CSCvv25573	Headline: DHCP request sent towards the server has router ID in option 54 instead of server ID Symptoms: Host doesn’t receive IP address from DHCP server Workarounds: SMU available in software download page for permanent fix.

Resolved Issues

Bug ID	Description
CSCvk44504	Headline: Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Switches NX-OS Mode Fibre Channel over Ethernet NPV DoS Vulnerability Symptoms: A vulnerability in the Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) N-port Virtualization (NPV) protocol implementation in Cisco NX-OS Software could allow an unauthenticated, adjacent attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition. The vulnerability is due to an incorrect processing of FCoE packets when the fcoe-npv feature is uninstalled. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a stream of FCoE frames from an adjacent host to an affected device. An exploit could allow the attacker to cause packet amplification to occur, resulting in the saturation of interfaces and a DoS condition. Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability. This advisory is available at the following link:https://tools.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/cisco-sa-20190306-nxos-npv-dos This advisory is part of the March 2019 Cisco FXOS and NX-OS Software Security Advisory Bundled Publication, which includes 25 Cisco Security Advisories that describe 26 vulnerabilities. For a complete list of the advisories and links to them, see Cisco Event Response: March 2019 Cisco FXOS and NX-OS Software Security Advisory Bundled Publication. http://tools.cisco.com/security/center/viewErp.x?alertId=ERP-70757 Workarounds: Please refer to the Security Advisory.
CSCvm11554	Headline: PTP High correction on slave when master have SVI which have IGMP Connected Group Membership Symptoms: When SVI on a PTP master switch receives an IGMP membership report and creates IGMP entries, PTP High correction issues occur. %PTP-2-PTP_HIGH_CORR: Slave port Eth1/X High correction -125750482(nsec) This issue is applicable only to Cisco Nexus 9500-R platforms. Workarounds: A or B A. - Remove PIM config from PTP VLAN SVI B. - Use other VLAN to PTP instead of VLAN used for multicast
CSCvp46147	Headline: Need Support for Multiple LLDP Neighbors over Same Interface Symptoms: LLDP Neighbor TLV fields may change over time or show unexpected information. This can cause issues with accounting tools that are expecting specific values in a given LLDP TLV field Workarounds: Currently the only workaround is to enforce a single LLDP neighbor/device on a given physical connection to the Cisco Nexus switch, which can be accomplished by disabling LLDP everywhere except for the physical port on the Cisco Nexus LLDP neighbor.
CSCvq44103	Headline: 25g AOC/LR/SR Cable type is shown as unknown Symptoms: Cable type is shown as "unknown" for 25G SFP- LR, SR, and AOC cables. However, for copper 25G cables 'cable type' is displayed as CA-L, CA-N and CA-S accordingly. Workarounds: There is no workaround for this problem.

CSCvr75903	Headline: Sequence timeout seen at reload with VXLAN PBR -- SVI flap optimizations needed. Symptoms: The system might experience a sequence timeout that might cause the L2alredirect loopback test to fail, rpm verification to fail, or a DHCP snoop hardware programming failure. When hit on the vPC secondary, this situation might result in vPC VLANs getting suspended on primary. Workarounds: Once the issue is hit, you can shut/no-shut the MCT link in vPC primary or operational primary to bring up the suspended VLANS. Also, to avoid getting into this situation, you may use GIR (graceful insertion and removal) to isolate the 9500, upgrade the chassis, and after all modules are up, insert the switch in to the network.

CSCvu15037	Headline: Cisco Nexus 9000 Cloud Scale devices drop 25G broadcast traffic as output discard with queue-limit Symptoms: A Cisco Nexus 9000 switch with the Cloud Scale ASIC will drop multi-destination/BUM (Broadcast/Unknown Unicast/Multicast) traffic received through a 25G interface as an output discard if the system's egress queuing policy has a queue-limit defined for the traffic's queue. Since the affected traffic is multi-destination in nature, output discards will increment on all interfaces that are forwarding the ingress VLAN in question. As this issue affects all multi-destination traffic, this issue can manifest itself with multiple different symptoms. Some common ones include: +++ 25G-connected hosts are not able to obtain IP addresses via DHCP +++ 25G-connected hosts are not able to establish network connectivity through ARP resolution +++ 25G-connected hosts are not able to receive multicast traffic via IGMP Workarounds: Removing the queue-limit from relevant queues in the system-wide egress queueing policy will prevent multi-destination traffic placed in that queue from being dropped if it is received on a 25G interface.

CSCvu53480	Headline: N9K VXLAN EVPN - static route VRF leaking issue upon recursive lookup Symptoms: In a VXLAN fabric, route leaked in between VRF may not contain the tunnel information, leading to traffic sent without VXLAN header in the fabric. This issue is related to recursive lookup, where NH for the destination IP is reachable over the fabric. The issue is only present when the route to reach the recursive NH is a static route leaked from the VRF where the NH resides. The presence of this static route may be justified by the fact that the NH can move around the fabric/VTEPs. Workarounds: Several workarounds are available: + Instead of using route leaking with RT import/export, leak the route using static route in the VRF where the source resides (VRF A), pointing towards next-hop in VRF B: vrf context A ip route <dst_ip>/32 <nh_ip> vrf B + Use hmm tracking to advertise the route in VRF where the destination resides only where the NH is reachable over hmm.

Known Issues

Behavior Changes for Cisco Nexus 9504 and 9508 Switches with -R Line Cards

Bug ID	Description
N/A	Interface: The output format for the exec command CLI show vpc orphan-ports has changed from the 7.0(3)F3(4) release to the 9.3(5) release.
N/A	FEX: MTU 9216 is the default value for FEX fabric ports-channels.
N/A	FEX: MTU 9216 is the only allowed value to be configured on FEX fabric port-channels. Configuring any other value will throw an error.
CSCvp87914	FEX: If the MTU value on a FEX fabric port-channel was set to 9216 before upgrading to Cisco NX-OS Release 9.3(5), the show running config command will not display the MTU config as it is the new default in Cisco NX-OS Release 9.3(5). Due to this, the show running-config diff command displays the difference which is expected.
N/A	Programmability: Release 9.3(5) brings in a new kernel and new processes.
N/A	Programmability: Interface counter statistics are grouped together in the XML/JSON output. The output for the show interface-counters command in JSON format has changed.
N/A	Programmability: NX-API does not support insecure HTTP by default.
N/A	Programmability: NX-API does not support weak TLSv1 protocol by default.
N/A	Security: Stronger ciphers are used in this release.
N/A	Security: A new command, no service password-recovery is supported.
N/A	Security: Only one version out of v4 and v6 versions of the uRPF command can be configured on an interface. If one version is configured, all the mode changes must be done by the same version. The other version is blocked on that interface. Cisco Nexus 9300-EX, 9300-FX, and 9300-FX2 platform switches do not have this limitation and you can configure v4 and v6 version of urpf cmd individually.

General Known Issues

Bug ID	Description
CSCvt99828	Setting the value of "none" for the property authName, basically stands for a zero value, which is not allowed, and shouldn’t be used. Allowable values other than "none" should be used as inputs to this property.
CSCvt99859	The allocate-label option-b command is disabled and not shown in the configuration unless MPLS Layer 3 VPN is enabled. This is achieved by entering the feature mpls l3vpn command.
CSCvt93823	An NVE interface is required to be in shut state before making changes to the source-interface for NVE. Trying to do the default operation on NVE interface brings it out of the shut state as it performs a no shut first. This causes the operation to fail as there is an attempt to modify the source-interface in the no shut mode. Fixing this might require changes to how the default keyword behaves fundamentally. This can affect other types of interfaces, as well, as they too can be operated on using the default keyword. For this reason, if there is a need to remove the configuration for the NVE interface, enter the shut command on the NVE interface. Then enter the no interface nve 1 command, followed by reconfiguring the NVE interface with the new configuration.
CSCvu48474	Due to an ASIC limitation, FC-FEC cannot be configured on the native (non-retimer) ports (ports 25-36) of N9K-C93600CD-GX when broken out to 2x50G. Only RS-FEC and FEC off are supported. To be consistent, the retimer port (ports 1-24) capabilities are also being limited to RS-FEC and FEC off when broken out to 2x50G. There is no plan to enable FC-FEC on the retimer ports for this reason, so this CDET is being closed.
CSCvu02712	Intermittent CRC errors are seen on Cisco Nexus N9K-C9236C retimer ports (1-8 and 29-36), when connected to Cisco Nexus N9K-C93600CD-GX 100G native ports (25-28) and broken out to 4x25G. The issue is not seen in non-breakout 100G mode. Workarounds: Avoid these connections. Ports 9-28 on the Cisco Nexus N9K-C9236C can be used instead.
CSCvt41915	ISIS route is deleted from kernel when ip unnumbered config is deleted and added back in quick succession (within say 30 seconds) Recovery: ip unnumbered config deletion and addition should be done within the 60-second window to be safe. If issue is hit, recovery is to flap the interface with the shut command followed by the no shut command.
CSCvr20128	The issue happens for pinned static routes only. These routes don't get installed in the kernel. So, BGP sessions over these routes might not work. A ping from Bash will not work. Recovery: If the issue is seen, pinned static routes can be deleted and added back. Also, entering the clear ip route vrf <vrf-name> command can be done to recover from the issue. Further Problem Description: 1. The issue happens for pinned static routes only. Pinned static routes is a feature borrowed from Catalyst 6000 IOS platforms and not many customers use it on Cisco Nexus 9000. 2. There are 3 flavors of the issue a. Pinned static route could have a next hop which is not in the subnet of the IP address configured on the interface. In this case, the kernel cannot install the route irrespective of when Netstack sends the route programming request because, the next hop is not in the same subnet of the interface IP address. b. Pinned static route could have some next hops. But on the interface, there is no global IPv6 address configured. It has only a link-local address configured. In this case also, the kernel cannot install the route irrespective of when Netstack sends the route programming request because the next hop is not in the same subnet of the interface IP address. c. Pinned static route could have a next hop which is in the same subnet of the IP address configured on the interface. In this case, the kernel can install the route only if Netstack sends a route programming request after it programs the IP address to the kernel. While programming the route, the kernel determines that the next hop is already programmed. This is a very specific case of pinned static routes.
CSCvc95008	On Cisco Nexus 9300-EX, 9348GC-FXP, 93108TC-FX, 93180YC-FX, 9336C-FX2, 93216TC-FX2, 93360YC-FX2, 93240YC-FX2, 92348GC-X, C93108TC-EX-24, C93108TC-FX-24, C93180YC-EX-24, C93180YC-FX-24, 9316D-GX, 9364C-GX, and 93600CD-GX switches, when 802.1q EtherType has changed on an interface, the EtherType of all interfaces on the same slice will be changed to the configured value. This change is not persistent after a reload of the switch and will revert to the EtherType value of the last port on the slice.
CSCvr92708	CoPP violations can be seen under class-map copp-system-p-class-l2-default and access-group copp-system-p-acl-mac-undesirable in an MVPN setup on a PE device. This can cause an impact to MVPN control plane functionality for packets such as MSDP and PIM register messages, in case of a large number of MVPN PE devices and MDT groups. You can create a custom CoPP policy with an increased "cir" value until no CoPP violation is seen for that class.
CSCvr95514	Per-VRF Configuration of MDT MTU size is not supported on MVPN PE devices on N9K-X9636C-R/RX, N3K-C36180YC-R, N3K-C3636C-R platforms. While, Tunnel MTU size is not configurable interface MTU for the core facing interface can be configured to control port-level MTU. MDT tunnel is capable of carrying up to jumbo MTU size of 9192 (excluding tunnel header), provided interface MTU for the core-facing interface also supports jumbo MTU.
CSCvr92710	CMIS standards prescribe delays at each state as mentioned by the QSFP-DD firmware on those optics. If you are using those optics with delays, you will see a higher link-up time.
CSCvr14625	CMIS standards prescribe delays at each state as mentioned by the QSFP-DD firmware on those optics. If you are using those optics with delays, you will see a higher link-up time.
CSCvr13930	The Cisco Nexus 9300-GX ASIC does not support FC-FEC on the second lane of 50x2 breakout port. This is due to an ASIC limitation. The second link cannot come up when 50x2 breakout is done. Workarounds: You must configure RS-FEC with 50x2 breakout.
CSCvr11900	Multicast routes used by Data MDT are not deleted immediately on MVPN PE (where Encapsulation takes place) after all the customer (VRF) traffic stops which use the same Data MDT. They may stay up for 15 minutes and then get deleted.
N/A	When large files, for example NX-OS, images are copied to USB, the following message is printed: 2019 Jul 2 15:49:47 Molti_A %$ VDC-1 %$ Jul 2 15:49:46 %KERN-3-SYSTEM_MSG: [ 8032.291555] INFO: task vsh.bin:9418 blocked for more than 120 seconds. – kernel 2019 Jul 2 15:49:47 Molti_A %$ VDC-1 %$ Jul 2 15:49:46 %KERN-3-SYSTEM_MSG: [ 8032.291560] Tainted: P O 4.1.21-WR8.0.0.28-standard #1 - kernel 2019 Jul 2 15:49:47 Molti_A %$ VDC-1 %$ Jul 2 15:49:46 %KERN-3-SYSTEM_MSG: [ 8032.291561] "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message. - kernel As long as these messages correspond to a copy operation to USB, this message can be ignored.
N/A	In the NX-API sandbox, whenever XML or JSON output is generated for the show run command or the show startup command, the output contains additional characters. For example, </nf:source> <============nf: is extra <namespace> : extra characters are seen with XML and JSON from NX-API.
N/A	When you upgrade a Cisco Nexus 9000 device to Cisco NX-OS Release 9.3(5), if a QSFP port is configured with the manual breakout command and is using a QSA, the configuration of the interface Ethernet 1/50/1 is no longer supported and will need to be removed. To restore the configuration, you must manually configure the interface Ethernet 1/50 on the device.
N/A	Due to the airflow design, back-to-front fans require the fan to be run at full speed all the time. You might also see fan speeds increase from 40% to 70% post-upgrade. This applies to the following PIDs: N9K-C9272Q, N9K-C9236C, N9K-C93180YC-FX, N9K-C93180TC-FX, N9K-C9364C, N9K-C9336C-FX2, N9K-C9332C. This change is made as of Cisco NX-OS Release 7.0(3)I7(3).

¹For specific fan speeds see the Overview section of the Hardware Installation Guide.

² This switch runs with +1 redundancy mode so that if one fan fails, the switch can sustain operation. But if a second fan fails, this switch is not designed to sustain operation. Hence before waiting for the major threshold temperature to be hit, the switch will power down due to entering the fan policy trigger command.
