Introduction
The Cisco NX-OS software for the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series switches fulfills the routing, switching, and storage networking requirements of data centers and provides an Extensible Markup Language (XML) interface and a command-line interface (CLI) similar to Cisco IOS software.
System Requirements
This section includes the following topics:
Hardware Supported
The Cisco NX-OS software supports the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series chassis. You can find detailed information about supported hardware in the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series Hardware Installation and Reference Guide.
Memory Requirements
The Cisco NX-OS software requires 4 GB of memory.
Supported Device Hardware
Cisco NX-OS Release 4.1(2) and later supports management and monitoring of the Cisco Nexus 7010 switch and Cisco Nexus 7018 switch. Although you can use Cisco NX-OS Release 4.0 to manage a Cisco Nexus 7010 switch, you must use Cisco NX-OS Release 4.1(2) (or a later release) to manage a Cisco Nexus 7018 switch, the 7.5-kW AC power supply unit, and the 48-port 1-Gigabit SFP I/O module. Table 2 shows the hardware features supported by Cisco NX-OS Release 4.0 software, Cisco NX-OS Release 4.1(2) software, and Cisco NX-OS Release 4.1(3) software, and Table 3 shows the transceivers supported by each release.
New Hardware Features
The Cisco NX-OS Release 4.1(2) is initially released at the same time that the following hardware is released for the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series switches:
•Cisco Nexus 7018 switch, which includes the new fabric module. The switch supports two supervisor modules, up to 16 I/O modules, up to five fabric modules, and up to four power supply units.
•Cisco Nexus 7018 fabric module, which provides up to 230 Gbps of fabric bandwidth for each I/O and supervisor module installed on the Cisco Nexus 7018 switch.
•48-port, 1-Gigabit Ethernet SFP I/O module, which is supported by the Cisco Nexus 7010 switch and the Cisco Nexus 7018 switch.
•7.5-kW AC power supply unit, which is supported by the Cisco Nexus 7010 switch and the Cisco Nexus 7018 switch. You can install up to three of these power supply units in the Cisco Nexus 7010 switch and up to four of these power supply units in the Cisco Nexus 7018 switch.
•Cisco Nexus 7018 fan tray, which provides cooling for the supervisor, I/O, and fabric modules.
Note The new hardware requires that you have the Cisco NX-OS Release 4.1(2) or later operating system installed on your switch.
Upgrade/Downgrade Caveats
The following caveats apply to the Cisco NX-OS Release 4.1(2) or later for the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series switches:
•Do not change any configuration settings or network settings during the upgrade. Any changes in the network settings may cause a disruptive upgrade.
•Release 4.1(5) is ISSU-compatible with the following releases:
–Release 4.1(4)
–Release 4.1(3)
–Release 4.1(2)
–Release 4.0(4)
–Release 4.0(3)
•Release 4.1(4) is ISSU-compatible with the following releases:
–Release 4.1(3)
–Release 4.1(2)
–Release 4.0(4)
–Release 4.0(3)
•Release 4.1(3) is ISSU-compatible with the following releases:
–Release 4.1(2)
–Release 4.0(4)
–Release 4.0(3)
•Release 4.1(2) is ISSU-compatible with the following releases:
–Release 4.0(4)
–Release 4.0(3)
•If you are running Release 4.0(1) or 4.0(2), take the following steps:
–Upgrade to Release 4.0(3) or Release 4.0(4)
–Upgrade to Release 4.1(3)
•When you downgrade from Release 4.1(2) to 4.0(3), you will experience a disruptive downgrade.
•When you are upgrading or downgrading Release 4.1(2) to 4.1(3) on a Cisco Nexus 7000 Series chassis with a single supervisor module, you may see an CMP upgrade failure although the rest of the system will upgrade or downgrade properly. If you see this condition, explicitly upgrade or downgrade the CMP by entering the install module active-slot cmp system location command and the reload cmp module command.
CMP Images
Cisco NX-OS Releases 4.1(5) and 4.1(4) for the Nexus 7000 Series device do not have a new image for the CMP. The CMP image version remains at Release 4.1(3).
New Software Features
Note Cisco NX-OS Release 4.1(1) is for use only on the Cisco MDS 9000 Series switches.
This section briefly describes the new features introduced in the releases of the Cisco NX-OS software for the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series switches. For detailed information about the features listed, see the documents listed in the "Related Documentation" section. The "New and Changed Information" section in each of these books provides a detailed list of all new features and includes links to the feature description or new command.
This section includes the following topics:
Cisco NX-OS Release 4.1(5)
Cisco NX-OS Release 4.1(5) for the Nexus 7000 Series switches has no new software features.
Cisco NX-OS Release 4.1(4)
This section briefly describes the new feature introduced in Cisco NX-OS Release 4.1(4) for the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series switches and includes the following topic:
Increase vPC Limit
The Cisco NX-OS software supports a maximum of 192 virtual port channels (vPCs) on the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series switches.
Cisco NX-OS Release 4.1(3)
This section briefly describes the new feature introduced in Cisco NX-OS Release 4.1(3) for the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series switches and includes the following topic:
•vPCs
vPCs
A virtual port channel (vPC) allows links that are physically connected to two different Cisco Nexus 7000 Series switches to appear as a single port channel by a third downstream device. The third device can be a switch, server, or any other networking device that supports IEEE 802.3ad port channels.
Note You may need to upgrade the EPLDs to run vPC. For complete information on EPLDs and vPCs, see the following:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/datacenter/sw/4_1/epld/epld_rn.html
vPCs increase usable bandwidth by eliminating STP blocked ports in common dual-homed designs. The vPC is transparent to the neighbor devices, and those neighbors need only to support port channels using static or LACP configuration. Each device in the vPC retains it own independent control and data planes. vPC provides supports for dual supervisors on each device.
Note If you are attempting to configure the vPC on an incorrect version of the N7K-M148GT-11 module, the screen displays an error message. Contact your Cisco Account Team if you see this message.
Cisco NX-OS Release 4.1(2)
This section briefly describes the new features introduced in Cisco NX-OS Release 4.1(2) for the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series switches and includes the following topics:
•IPv6
•PKI
•File-Based Checkpoint/Rollback
VTP Transparent
In the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series switches, the VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP) works in transparent mode, allowing you to extend a VTP domain across the device. Layer 2 trunk interfaces, Layer 2 trunk over physical interfaces, and Layer 2 port channels support VTP transparent functionality.
This feature relays all VTP protocol packets that the device receives on a trunk port onto all other trunk ports. When the VTP feature is disabled, VTP protocol packets are not relayed.
IPv6
The Cisco Nexus 7000 Series NX-OS software supports IPv6 addressing for the following routing protocols:
•MLD v2
•PIM SSM
•PIM BIDR
•EIGRP
The following features support IPv6:
•QoS
•uRPF
•ACLs—PACLs, VACLs, and RACLs
•CoPP matching packets
•NetFlow
PKI
The Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) allows the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series device to obtain and use digital certificates for secure communication in the network; it also provides manageability and scalability.
CFSoIP
Cisco Fabric Services (CFS) is a distribution protocol that supports a rich set of features. Using CFSoIP, applications can distribute and synchronize configuration and/or runtime data in a network. CFSoIP is part of the core CFS (CFS over FC), in which the transport media is IP. Applications can register with CFS in IP scope and exchange information with their peers. This feature provides consistent and, in most cases, identical configurations and behavior within a network.
Cisco NX-OS supports CFSoIP for Call Home and several security features, such as AAA, RADIUS, TACAS+, and user roles.
File-Based Checkpoint/Rollback
This feature allows you to save a checkpoint to a storage location of your choice, such as bootflash memory. It also allows you to roll back from a checkpoint file that is residing in bootflash.
Rollback is not supported for checkpoints across software versions.
Per-Packet Load Balancing
The per-packet load balancing feature allows data traffic to be evenly distributed in an IP network over multiple equal-cost connections. Per-packet load balancing uses round-robin techniques to select the output path without basing the choice on the packet content.
Limitations
This section describes the limitations in Cisco NX-OS Release 4.1(2), Release 4.1(3), and Release 4.(4) for the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series switches.
This section includes the following topics:
•vPCs
•QoS
•VRFs
•Multicast over Tunnel Interfaces
vPCs
Cisco NX-OS Release 4.1(4) for Cisco Nexus 7000 Series switches supports up to 192 vPCs per device. Cisco NX-OS Release 4.1(3) for Cisco Nexus 7000 Series switches supports up to 50 vPCs per device.
The Cisco NX-OS software for Cisco Nexus 7000 Series switches does not support PIM SSM or BIDR on vPCs; PIM is fully supported.
XML Management Interface
You must enable the Secure Shell (SSH) server on the device to use the XML management interface because this is a mandatory requirement of the NETCONF Configuration Protocol (RFC 4741).
Cisco TrustSec
Cisco TrustSec (CTS) does not fully support the following commands:
•clear cts cache
•clear cts policy
•cts cache
•cts l3 spi (global configuration)
•cts l3 spi (interface configuration)
•show cts l3 interface
•show cts l3 mapping
QoS
The Cisco NX-OS software does not support Quality of Service (QoS) policing on Layer 2 interfaces in the egress direction, only ingress.
Rollback
In Cisco NX-OS Release 4.1(4) and later releases, if you configure the Cisco NX-OS device while an atomic rollback is in progress, the rollback operation fails.
Tunnel Interfaces and VRFs
The Cisco NX-OS software supports assigning tunnel interfaces only to the default VDC and the default VRF instance.
VRFs
The Cisco NX-OS software supports a maximum of 200 Virtual Routing and Forwarding instances (VRFs).
Multicast over Tunnel Interfaces
In Cisco NX-OS Release 4.1(5) and earlier releases, tunnel interfaces do not support Protocol-Independent Multicast (PIM).
Caveats
Note Cisco NX-OS Release 4.1(1) is for use only on the Cisco MDS 9000 Series switches.
This section includes the following topics:
•Resolved Caveats—Cisco NX-OS Release 4.1(5)
•Resolved Caveats—Cisco NX-OS Release 4.1(4)
•Resolved Caveats—Cisco NX-OS Release 4.1(3)
•Resolved Caveats—Cisco NX-OS Release 4.1(2)
Open Caveats
•CSCsm22329
Symptom: QoS statistics require a policing action in order for marking actions to produce statistics.
Conditions: When you define a QoS service policy with only marking actions, the statistics do not work. The statistics feature works only when the service policy has a policing action defined also.
Workaround: You can get statistics for a marking-only policy by applying a dummy policing action to the policies. For example, in addition to the marking actions, you should define a policing action that permits 100 percent traffic. Configure the violate and conform action as transmit.
•CSCsm75863
Symptom: Logging to an external syslog server using an IPv6 address does not work.
Conditions: If you configure IPv6 addresses for an external syslog server, then logging does not work for the server.
Workaround: No workaround.
•CSCsm98733
Symptom: After a rollback, one checkpoint is missing after a supervisor module switchover.
Conditions: If the ascii-cfg-server process restarts or if the active supervisor module switches over to the standby supervisor module while a checkpoint operation is in progress, then the checkpoint operation may not complete.
Workaround: Recreate the checkpoint after a supervisor module switchover if the checkpoint is missing.
•CSCso03889
Symptom: Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) ACLs are not supported on private VLANs.
Conditions: If you configure an ARP ACL on a primary VLAN using the ip arp inspection filter vlan-id command, it is not propagated to the secondary VLAN.
Workaround: No workaround.
•CSCsq66001
Symptom: The tunnel interface is not detected when you are processing an SNMP MIB walk.
Conditions: This situation occurs under all conditions and does not affect functionality.
Workaround: No workaround.
•CSCsr68326
Symptom: If the Netstack process restarts, the IPv6 protocol packets are not delivered to OSPFv3.
Conditions: After the Netstack process restarts for any reason, OSPFv3 does not receive protocol packets and does not establish neighbors.
Workaround: Restart the affected IPv6 unicast protocol.
•CSCsy31214
Symptom: If you create a VRF, delete it, and then add the VRF again, you may see problems with the syslog if you use the use-vrf keyword to log in the VRF.
Conditions: You see this symptom when you delete an existing VRF and reload the device.
Workaround: After the reload, remove the correct configuration and then add it again.
•CSCsy50070
Symptom: During an in-service software upgrade (ISSU), the following error message may display for VDC 1:
%RES_MGR-4-RES_MGR_RES_ALREADY_EXCEEDED_BUT_NOT_ENFORCED: RES_MGR Warning: The VDC 1 is currently already using more u4route-mem resources than the desired new maximum limit. You may experience some route loss upon switchover, when the new limits will actually take effect.Conditions: This situation may occur during a supervisor module switchover but does not impact functionality.
Workaround: No workaround.
•CSCsz25152
Symptom: Even when the vPC peer link or some vPCs are still active in a VLAN on the primary vPC device, the VLAN interface on that VLAN may go down.
Conditions: You will see this symptom only on the vPC primary peer device and only when the primary vPC port channel is down and the vPC port channel also goes down on the secondary vPC peer device. This situation triggers an incorrect count of forwarding ports in a VLAN and this results in this situation.
Workaround: Ensure that the vPC port channel is up on the primary vPC peer device before you bring down the vPC port channel on the secondary vPC peer device.
If the downstream vPC peer device reloads, bring the vPC peer link down and up on the vPC primary device by entering the shutdown and no shutdown commands. This will not trigger an STP topology change because the vPC port channel is already up on the secondary vPC peer device, and STP sees vPC as a single logical port unit.
•CSCta17139
Symptom: You may see high CPU usage on directly connected switches running VTP.
Conditions: VTP transparent mode does not work in a redundant Layer 2 topology with physical loops.
Workaround: Eliminate redundant physical loops by putting redundant links in port channels when possible. Otherwise, disable VTP.
Resolved Caveats—Cisco NX-OS Release 4.1(5)
All the caveats listed in this section are resolved in Cisco NX-OS Release 4.1(5) for the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series switches:
•CSCsx69941
Symptom: ARP packets may be duplicated when DHCP is enabled.
Conditions: When the DHCP feature is enabled, the ARP packets on the VLAN interfaces may be flooded through the hardware and another time in the software, resulting in duplicate ARP packets.
Workaround: This issue is resolved.
•CSCsy36733
Symptom: When you delete a VRF, the interfaces that are running EIGRP may lose their EIGRP adjacencies.
Conditions: You may see this symptom when more than one EIGRP instance is running in a particular VDC and you move an EIGRP-enabled interface from one VRF to another by entering the vrf member command.
Workaround: This issue is resolved.
•CSCsy53158
Symptom: If the Unicast IPv6 RIB goes down, the system may switch over to the standby supervisor.
Conditions: You may see this symptom when the system detects an IPv6 route loop in the Unicast IPv6 RIB.
Workaround: This issue is resolved.
•CSCsy57525
Symptom: The L2FM process may go down, and you will see a message on the syslog.
Conditions: You may see this symptom when the system is programming a large number of MAC addresses and the same time it is running other processes that require communication with the modules.
Workaround: This issue is resolved.
•CSCsy57564
Symptom: The L2FM process may go down, and you will see a message on the syslog.
Conditions: You may see this symptom when you are running vPC, which is adding a large number of MAC addresses, and you shut down the vPC peer link.
Workaround: This issue is resolved.
•CSCsy58563
Symptom: You may see a module in the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series chassis take an exception, and reset.
Conditions: You may see this symptom when you have configured VLANs and VLAN interfaces with the same flow monitor, and you reconfigure the VLAN to have a different flow monitor.
Workaround: This issue is resolved.
•CSCsy77856
Symptom: If you remove the VRF configuration from under the routing process and then add it back, then all of the neighbor relationships in the VRF may never recover.
Conditions: You may see this symptom when you are using VRF with EIGRP on a Cisco Nexus 7000 Series device.
Workaround: This issue is resolved.
•CSCsy78904
Symptom: After you reboot the device, redistribution into an EIGRP may fail.
Conditions: You may see this symptom if all the interfaces in the routing context are down at the time of redistribution.
Workaround: This issue is resolved.
•CSCsy83394
Symptom: If you are running NX-OS Release 4.1(4) or earlier and have configured either the DHCP server or relay on the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series device, UDP fragments may not be forwarded.
Conditions: You may see this symptom when the DHCP feature is enabled on the system, when DHCP snooping or DHCP relay is configured.
Workaround: This problem has been fixed in Cisco NX-OS Release 4.1(5). However, this fix is not automatically applied when you do an ISSU upgrade to Release 4.1(5) from an earlier release. If you reload the system, the system applies the fix automatically.
To ensure that this fix is applied after you perform an ISSU, do one of the following:
1. For DHCP relay, enter the no service dhcp command and then the service dhcp command.
2. For DHCP snooping, enter the no feature dhcp command and then the feature dhcp command; the reconfigure the DHCP policies.•CSCsy84185
Symptom: You may see spanning-tree instabilities because of improper CBL programming, which is a result of a SPAN misconfiguration.
Conditions: You may see this symptom when you configure SPAN to source-span multiple VLANs, some of which have not been created in the system. The SPAN session is up, and if an interface moves from up to down to up rapidly several times, you may see this symptom.
Workaround: This issue is resolved.
•CSCsy84202
Symptom: The system may not apply the commands to end the SPAN session.
Conditions: You may see this symptom when you configure SPAN to source-span multiple VLANs, some of which have not been created in the system. The SPAN session is up, and the command to end the SPAN session may not get applied.
Workaround: This issue is resolved.
Resolved Caveats—Cisco NX-OS Release 4.1(4)
All the caveats listed in this section are resolved in Cisco NX-OS Release 4.1(4) for the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series switches:
•CSCsl16405
Symptom: Some static routes may be lost after you reload the system on a Cisco Nexus 7000 Series device that is configured with IP static routes.
Conditions: You may see this symptom after you reload the system 8 to 10 times. This symptom is purely a software timing issue and may happen more or less often than the typical scenario.
Workaround: This issue is resolved.
•CSCsu85189
Symptom: No VLANs are shown as Up on the vPC peer link or vPCs. Although the compatibility status displays as success, all the VLANs are in the errored state when you enter the show system internal ethpm info interface port-channel x command, where x is the peer link. When you enter the show interface port-channel x status error-vlans command, the display shows a timeout as the reason for the suspension.
Conditions: You may see this symptom if more than 2,000 VLANs are enabled on the vPC peer link and the vPC because the message size exceeds the messaging infrastructure, which causes the handshake failure.
Workaround: This issue is resolved.
•CSCsv40347
Symptom: After a module or a switch reloads, some commands may be missing from the show running-config command output but the configurations are active on the switch.
Conditions: During the module reload process, as the module comes online, the CLI server may not receive the responses from the protocol components for more that 10 seconds after it sends the configuration commands to those components. This delay causes the CLI server to remove the commands from the current configuration.
Workaround: This issue is resolved.
•CSCsw64054
Symptom: When the device does an SNMP SET on the RMON-MIB:statistics group objects or RMON-MIB:history, the SNMP agent crashes.
Conditions: You may see this symptom under all conditions.
Workaround: This issue is resolved.
•CSCsx23179
Symptom: The Cisco NX-OS software clears the BGP session upon receiving a prefix that has the AS4_PATH attribute with AS_CONFED_SEQUENCE in it.
Conditions: A prefix with AS4_PATH attribute with AS_CONFED_SEQUENCE in it is received.
Workaround: This issue is resolved.
•CSCsx35858
Symptom: Command accounting is logged as a STOP record instead of as an UPDATE record.
Conditions: This symptom can occur in all conditions.
Workaround: This issue is resolved.
•CSCsx42110
Symptom: OSPF flaps between a Cisco 7200 Series router and a Cisco Nexus 7000 Series switch.
Conditions: When redistributed routes flap very frequently, the Cisco 7200 Series router flushes and reoriginates the type-5 external LSAs. If the flap is fast enough, the Cisco 7200 Series router reoriginates and flushes the LSA before the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series switch has a chance to delete the higher sequence numbered maxAged LSAs from its LSDB.
Workaround: This issue is resolved.
•CSCsx42741
Symptom: If multiple I/O modules or interconnected Cisco 7000 Series switches are restarted simultaneously, some of the member interfaces of an active port channel may toggle between the `I' and `P' states for a few seconds before stabilizing to the `P' state. The port channels remain operationally up at all times.
Conditions: This symptom occurs when you reload the swathes or modules several times.
Workaround: This issue is resolved.
•CSCsx46214
Symptom: DHCP clients that are on interfaces connected to slot 18 of the Cisco Nexus 7018 chassis may fail to obtain an IP address.
Conditions: The host/client connected to interfaces on a module in slot 18 will fail to obtain IP addresses when the system comes up after you reload the system with DHCP disabled.
Workaround: This issue is resolved.
•CSCsx47787
Symptom: ARP broadcast packets bound for the supervisor module may not be rate limited because we didn't have a CoPP policy to cover this situation. The default system-defined CoPP policy will be used to police supervisor-bound ARP packets and prevent an ARP broadcast storm from affecting the control plane traffic without affecting bridged packets.
Conditions: You would see this symptom only with ARP broadcast packets that go to the supervisor module.
Workaround: This issue is resolved.
•CSCsx51757
Symptom: Tunnel packets ingressing on the module in slot 18 of the Cisco Nexus 7018 chassis will be dropped.
Conditions: This symptom appears when you enter the feature tunnel command after the module in the 18th slot is online. If you enable the tunnel feature before you bring the module in slot 18 online, you will not see this symptom.
Workaround: This issue is resolved.
•CSCsx57439
Symptom: The addition and deletion of port-channel members followed by a change in the state of the associations of the trunked private VLANs may result in the private VLANs not being forwarded on the port channel.
Conditions: This symptom occurs when the private VLANs (both primary and associated secondary) are trunked on port channels.
Workaround: This issue is resolved.
•CSCsx60328
Symptom: The filter vlan-range include-untagged command does not translate correctly to the running configuration.
Conditions: After you enter the command, the show running-config command output shows that the include-untagged option becomes VLAN 0. Also, the Cisco NX-OS software does not allow you to remove the configuration.
This example shows how to create the configuration:
switch(config)# monitor session 1switch(config-monitor)# filter vlan 10-15 include-untaggedThis example shows the show running-config command output with the incorrect translation:
monitor session 1source interface sup-eth0 rxdestination interface Ethernet3/32filter vlan 0,10-15 <-- This should be filter vlan 10-15 include-untaggedno shutThis example shows the syntax error when trying to remove the configuration:
switch(config)# monitor session 1switch(config-monitor)# no filter vlan 0,10-15^Invalid value/range at '^' marker.Workaround: This issue is resolved.
•CSCsx60516
Symptom: The following syslog message can be sometimes seen:
DEVICE_TEST-2-ASIC_REG_CHECK_FAIL: Module 6 has failed test ASICRegCheck 20 times on device SantaCruzLocal instance 1 frontpanel ports affected due to error SCZ Asic is not accessible
Note The value of the instance number depends on the fabric module slot affected.
Conditions: This symptom is a timing issue when accessing the fabric module through the internal bus.
Workaround: This issue is resolved.
•CSCsx62030
Symptom: The maximum transmission unit (MTU) configured on a Layer 3 port-channel interface may not be applied correctly to the hardware and could prevent jumbo frame transmission over the interface.
Conditions: This symptom may occur with Layer 2 or Layer 3 port channels on 1-Gigabit or 10-Gigabit interfaces.
Workaround: This issue is resolved.
•CSCsx74326
Symptom: In a rare condition, an inconsistent adjacency could occur due to a MAC move.
Conditions: This symptom could occur in a loop topology where the MAC is first learned from one link, and then is stuck in that link even though the forwarding changes to the other link. When this situation happens, unicast forwarding does not occur through the link.
Workaround: This issue is resolved.
•CSCsx88140
Symptom: EIGRP failed to promote a path with better metrics when the maximum-paths limit had been reached.
Conditions: If the number of paths available is greater than the maximum-path configuration and if a best path comes in beyond the maximum configured, it is not promoted.
Workaround: This issue is resolved.
•CSCsx82805
Symptom: If you query the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series loopback IP using SNMP v2c, the device sources the response from the physical interface to which the SNMP Manager is connected rather than from the loopback IP itself.
Conditions: You will see this symptom when you query the loopback IP using SNMPv2c.
Workaround: This issue is resolved.
•CSCsx94461
Symptom: A rollback to a previous checkpoint may fail because of the route map.
Conditions: This symptom may occur if the running-config file or the checkpoint contains more than one route-mapname name [permit seq] command.
Workaround: This issue is resolved.
•CSCsx95422
Symptom: Packets sent from the supervisor module to nonexistent hosts is flooded with a MAC address that contains all zeros.
Conditions: When the system forwards a packet addressed to a host that does not exist on the LAN, the system sends the packet to the supervisor module to trigger ARP resolution. The system adds a temporary adjacency entry MAC address of all zeros until the ARP resolution occurs and the adjacency then gets updated. Because the ARP resolution does not happen for a nonexistent host, packets destined for the nonexistent host are forwarded using the information in the adjacency entry, using the zero MAC address and the outgoing interface.
Workaround: This issue is resolved.
•CSCsx97281
Symptom: On Cisco NX-OS, GOLD detects hardware failures through periodic tests and compiles a reports. In some conditions, GOLD does not detect a partial failure in one of the ASICs. If this partial ASIC failure occurs, you may see the control protocols going up and down and the following syslog message appears:
%OC_USD-SLOT1-2-RF_CRC: OC0 received packets with CRC error from XBAR <x>
Conditions: You may see this symptom when a partial failure occurs in an ASIC.
Workaround: This issue is resolved.
•CSCsy05849
Symptom: Control packets for BGP and HSRP that are sourced by the device are sent with the Class of Service (CoS) value set to 0.
Conditions: This situation occurs under all conditions.
Workaround: This issue is resolved.
Resolved Caveats—Cisco NX-OS Release 4.1(3)
All the caveats listed in this section are resolved in Cisco NX-OS Release 4.1(3) for the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series switches:
•CSCsm70593
Symptom: An interface is disabled when more than 50,000 port-VLAN instances go down at the same time.
Conditions: When more than 50,000 port-VLAN instances go down at the same time, the interface times out and becomes disabled. The following system message displays:
%$ VDC-1 %$ %ETHPORT-2-SEQ_TIMEOUT: Component MTS_SAP_L2FM timed out on response to opcode:MTS_OPC_ETHPM_PORT_LOGICAL_CLEANUP (for:RID_PORT: Ethernet9/46)Workaround: This issue is resolved.
•CSCso02550
Symptom: CoPP crashes with large policy maps.
Conditions: CoPP crashes if you attach more than 300 classes to the policy map.
Workaround: Ensure that the number of classes attached to the policy map is not more than 128.
•CSCso43538
Symptom: IGMP packets and PIM hello packets received on a Layer 2 interface or VLAN interface cannot be policed with CoPP.
Conditions: IGMP reports and queries and PIM hello packets received on a Layer 2 interface or VLAN interface are not subjected to control plane policing. The packets can only be rate limited tuning the receive rate limiter.
Workaround: Enter the hardware rate-limit layer-2 multicast-snooping <pps> command to rate limit these packets.
Note The receive rate limiter matches and also rate limits certain other data packets that are sent to the supervisor module. It does not differentiate IGMP/PIM hello packets from these data packets. You must take appropriate care when you tune the receive rate limiter.
Please note that an ISSU to Release 4.1(3) or above automatically shifts to the use of this rate-limiter to a default value of 10,000.
•CSCsr90977
Symptom: Ports may go into the error-disabled state when you apply a large ACL to a port channel with many interfaces and you reload the module with the interfaces.
Conditions: This situation may occur when you restart a module with a large ACL applied to a port channel with many interfaces on that module. When the module restarts, the ACL policies may not reach that module and cause the related ports to remain down and move into the error-disabled state.
Workaround: This issue is resolved.
•CSCsu01048
Symptom: You may see high CPU utilization on the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series device if the network is passing a lot of packets that require fragmentation or are hitting the TTL expiry time.
Conditions: When the system receives an IP packet with a length longer than the configured MTU on the packet's egress interface, the system sends this packet to the control plane, which takes care of the fragmentation.
In the current software releases, the rate limiter for this type of packet does not take effect, which may possibly overwhelm the software forwarding stack. This situation, in turn, may lead to the instability of the routing and the control protocols.
Workaround: This issue is resolved.
•CSCsu87911
Symptom: The following syslog may be seen:
*_2008 Sep 30 07:33:37 ch1-x7x-1b %DAEMON-2-SYSTEM_MSG: fatal:

•CSCsw64054
Symptom: When the device does an SNMP SET on the RMON-MIB:statistics group objects or RMON-MIB:history, the SNMP agent crashes.
Conditions: You may see this symptom under all conditions.
Workaround: This issue is resolved.
•CSCsw92524
Symptom: To obtain the IEEE 802.1Q value for a specific VLAN when you are working with NetConf, you must use the show interface brief form of the command. But the resulting display is still difficult to use.
Conditions: This symptom may occur when you are working on 802.1Q VLANs and NetConf.
Workaround: This issue is resolved.
•CSCsw97701
Symptom: If you have a faulty I/O or fabric module in your system when you upgrade between Cisco NX-OS releases and that upgrade requires a mandatory upgrade of hardware firmware for a component, the system gets stuck in a "system not ready" state and does not allow the configuration to be saved when you enter the copy running-config startup-config command.
Conditions: This symptom can occur when you have a combination of a failed hardware component and a pending software upgrade.
Workaround: This issue is resolved.
•CSCsw98383
Symptom: After you reload one of the modules, you may see that the CoPP policies are missing.
Conditions: You may see this symptom after you reload a module.

This situation results in the standby supervisor module going through repeated reboot cycles.
Conditions: This symptom occurs when you attempt to reload the chassis with the supervisor module still seated but with the ejector levers open.
Workaround: This issue is resolved.
•CSCso40446
Symptom: You may see the Network Time Protocol (NTP) commands that hang for several minutes, and the related CLI commands do not take effect.
Conditions: You may see this symptom when you are working with NTP.
Workaround: This issue is resolved.
•CSCso43922
Symptom: You may see lost OSPF adjacencies.
Conditions: ICMP redirect is enabled by default on all Layer 3 interfaces. If the device receives a significant amount of traffic that triggers ICMP redirect, this situation can affect OSPF control traffic. If OSPF packets are dropped due to data packets being copied to the supervisor module for ICMP redirect, you can see an adjacency loss.
Workaround: This issue is resolved.
•CSCsq25183
Symptom: With more than 1000 interfaces or subinterfaces in the startup configuration, the device may fail.
Conditions: If you are running an extremely large startup configuration, such as more than 1000 interfaces or subinterfaces, the configuration server may exhaust its memory and fail.
Workaround: This issue is resolved.
•CSCsq28404

Conditions: This symptom occurs under all conditions.
Workaround: This issue is resolved.
•CSCsq95595
Symptom: The clear counters command does not clear the counters for tunnel interfaces.
Conditions: This situation occurs under all conditions.
Workaround: This issue is resolved.
•CSCsr09718
Symptom: After IGMP multiple join and leave events, the Layer 2 multicast may stop functioning.
Conditions: You may see this symptom after you enable IGMP snooping on a VLAN. A large number of receivers attached to this VLAN join and leave, which causes the outgoing list to be freed and reallocated multiple times. For example, if multiple join and leaves cause the multicast module to free and allocate a new set of outgoing interface list at least 64,000 times, the multicast module may fail to add a new outgoing list. Then, traffic is not forwarded to newly added receivers that require adding a new interface to the outgoing interface list.
Workaround: This issue is resolved.
•CSCsr21551
Symptom: Cisco Nexus Series 7000 device failed to boot.
Conditions: If the device receives an SNMP request when it is booting, the bootup fails.
Workaround: This issue is resolved.
•CSCsr23521
Symptom: The device may install only one route when the OSPF process receives two or more identical type-5 or type-7 LSAs with zero forwarding addresses. The device installs the last LSA received. According to RFC 3101, the OSPF process should install routes from all the identical LSAs to do ECMP routing.
Conditions: You may see this symptom under all conditions.
Workaround: This issue is resolved.
•CSCsr26385
Symptom: Although the device sends the CMD accounting information, this information is not shown in the TACACS accounting log in the ACS server.
Conditions: You have enabled TACACS cmd-accounting in the ACS server and set accounting to remote on the device, using a TACACS group, but the command configuration that you are doing on the device does not show on the server.
Configuration for AAA server to see the accounting logs: Enable watchdog for that AAA client. Take the following steps to do that on the ACS server:
1. Go to Network Configuration.
2. In the AAA client's list, select the IP address of the device, which should be already configured.
3. Check Log Update/Watchdog Packets from this AAA Client.
4. Click Submit+Apply.

configuration change in progress
Conditions: If you enter the show startup-config command in the default VDC when there is an ongoing show running-config startup-config command in a nondefault VDC.
Workaround: This issue is resolved.
•CSCsr87423
Symptom: No syslog message is sent when you insert either the standby supervisor or the fabric module.
Conditions: The device does not send a syslog message when you insert either the standby supervisor or the fabric module.
Workaround: This issue is resolved.
•CSCsr91565
Symptom: After you reinitialize a module with port-channel subinterfaces that run Relay ACLs, the Relay ACL is removed from the port-channel interfaces.
Conditions: You enabled the Relay function on the device by entering the service dhcp command. The module is configured with subinterfaces on a port channel with active members. After you reinitialize the module, some of the port-channel member interfaces are moved to a different VDC. The Relay ACL is removed from the port channel and port channel-subinterface on that module.
Workaround: This issue is resolved.
•CSCsr93674
Symptom: When you enter the show ip arp vrf nondefault-vrf | last num command for a nondefault, VRF, the device does not return the shell prompt.
Conditions: When this situation occurs, you can press Ctrl- C to return the device to its normal state.
Workaround: This issue is resolved.
•CSCsr96589
Symptom: When you are replaying ASCII configuration scripts in nondefault VDCs, various private-vlan configuration commands fail.

Workaround: This issue is resolved.
•CSCsr99927
Symptom: If you configure a minimum MTU value for path-mtu-discovery that is greater than the actual value discovered, the device does not fall back to the default value until the default ager times out in 10 minutes.
Conditions: If you configure a minimum MTU value for path-mtu-discovery that is greater than the actual value discovered. the device should immediately fall back to the default value. However, the device waits until the ager times out (the default is 10 minutes) before it falls back to the default minimum value.
Workaround: This issue is resolved.
•CSCsu01052
Symptom: If you configure a large number of port ACLS on a port-channel member, the member port may be set to the error-disabled or suspended state.
Conditions: When you apply a large PACL policy for the first time, some of the affected port-channel members may be put into the error-disabled or suspended state during initialization. Note that ACL policies are applied only once during the first initialization and remain persistent in the hardware. Subsequent port initializations do not trigger the device to download policies to the hardware.
Workaround: This issue is resolved.
•CSCsu01596
Symptom: After you enable the path-mtu-discovery process, the device may fragment tunneled packets, which may lead to packet drops at the tunnel destination because of rate limiters.
Conditions: This situation occurs when the path MTU for two or more devices in the tunnel path are configured for a lower MTU than the tunnel destination MTU.
Workaround: This issue is resolved.
•CSCsu01779
Symptom: After you upgrade from the Cisco NX-OS Release 4.0(2) to the Release 4.0(3), the statistics for rate limiting may show incorrect values.
Conditions: After you upgrade from the Cisco NX-OS Release 4.0(2) to the Release 4.0(3) and enter the show hardware rate-limit command, the resulting display may show incorrect values.
Workaround: This issue is resolved.
•CSCsu05411
Symptom: When there is more than one path to a prefix, the consistency checker may report an inconsistency, even though there is no inconsistency.
Conditions: The consistency checker may report false positives for routes with ECMP.
Workaround: This issue is resolved.
•CSCsu22036
Symptom: Layer 3 multicast is not supported on port-channel subinterfaces.
Conditions: Port-channel subinterfaces are not included in the Layer 3 multicast outgoing list.
Workaround: This issue is resolved.
•CSCsu45752
Symptom: When you insert or remove the compact flash (CF) of the logflash and enter the dir logflash command, the Cisco Nexus 7000 supervisor module may reload, which results in a switchover to the standby supervisor.
Conditions: The Cisco Nexus 7000 supervisor module can switch over to the standby supervisor and return the following message when you insert or remove the compact flash of the logflash and enter the dir logflash command:
N7K# Raw time read from Hardware Clock: Y=2008 M=8 D=29 11:17:25 writing reset reason 34, Service "syslogd" in vdc 1
Workaround: This issue is resolved.
•CSCsv07357
Symptom: You may see a loss of routing adjacencies when the device is flooded with IP traffic with a time-to-live (TTL) of 1.
Conditions: You may see this symptom when the Cisco Nexus Series 7000 device is flooded continuously with TTL 1 IP traffic on the control plane.
Workaround: This issue is resolved.
•CSCsv21769
Symptom: EIGRP may be unstable, such as neighbor ports are flapping, during congested or looped traffic conditions.
Conditions: The device sets the dot1q CoS value to 0 for EIGRP packets, so these packets have a lower priority. During congested or looped traffic conditions, this situation may cause the symptom.
Workaround: This issue is resolved.
•CSCsv35262
Symptom: When an exporter has the source interface configured on a loopback interface in an ASCII config file, an error will occur when the ASCII configuration is applied to the running configuration.
Conditions: This symptom may occur when an exporter has the source interface configured on a loopback interface.
Workaround: This issue is resolved.
•CSCsv35626
Symptom: VRRP groups that are in the active state with tracking enabled can change to the backup state after the supervisor module switches over.
Conditions: The tracking state of VRRP groups can change from up to down after the supervisor module switches over, even though the underlying interface has not changed its state. The priority of the VRRP group is lowered and can change to the backup state for that group. The priority is not affected if tracking is not configured or if the tracked interface is in the down state already.
Workaround: This issue is resolved.
•CSCsv35775
Symptom: The ACL QoS process fails on the module.
Conditions: When there are a large number of egress RACL entries in the ACL TCAM and you attach egress NetFlow with nonatomic updates enabled, the ACL QoS may fail and the policies may not be applied.
Workaround: This issue is resolved.
•CSCsv40044
Symptom: Reloading a module or the system may fail when you have configured a large number of ACLs with other features such as policy-based routing, DHCP snooping/relay, NetFlow, and so forth and you have not enabled the nonatomic update feature. This failure is due to insufficient resources.
Conditions: This symptom may occur under all conditions.
Workaround: This issue is resolved.
•CSCsv40258
Symptom: Infrequently, after reloading the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series device, the direct routes for EIGRP-configured interfaces are not added to the EIGRP topology table. Instead, the topology entry is incorrectly shown as '0 successors' and 'Inaccessible.' Because the EIGRP prefix is not sent to the device's neighbors, the device is unreachable from the neighbors.
Conditions: This intermittent symptom may occur when the EIGRP-configured interface goes up immediately after going down.
Workaround: This issue is resolved.
•CSCsv40606
Symptom: When you are interoperating with devices from vendors other than Cisco and you enter the shutdown and no shutdown commands operation on port-channel interfaces, the ports in the channel may move to the error-disabled state.
Conditions: This symptom may occur when you are interoperating with devices from vendors other than Cisco.
Workaround: This issue is resolved.
•CSCsv47908
Symptom: When you are configuring a VRRP group, you may see virtual MAC address addition errors. The VRRP group remains in init state.
Conditions: The insertion of the virtual MAC address into the hardware fails when you delete a VRRP group from an interface and you configure the same VRRP group number on a different interface. This situation causes the VRRP group to fail to come up. You may also see this symptom when you disable and reenable VRRP and then reconfigure the VRRP groups.
Workaround: This issue is resolved.
•CSCsv49677
Symptom: When you boot up the device with autorp announce or autorp discovery configured, PIM crashes.
Conditions: You may see this symptom when you start up the device if the startup configuration has autorp announce or autorp discovery commands.
Workaround: This issue is resolved.
•CSCsv63773
Symptom: If a duplicate name exists for the user in both a non-default VDC and the default VDC and that user is logged in, you are unable to remove that user from the default VDC.
Conditions: You will not see this problem with a duplicate username in two separate non-default VDCs. You may see this symptom under the following conditions:
–The same username is configured in the default VDC and in a non-default VDC.
–This user is logging into the non-default VDC.
Workaround: This issue is resolved.
•CSCsv75113
Symptom: The device may display the incorrect outgoing interface in a non-default VDC after you enter the show port-channel load-balance forwarding-path command.
Conditions: You may see this symptom when you are working in a non-default VDC.
Workaround: This issue is resolved.
•CSCsv84522
Symptom: During an ISSU, you may see some packet loss and memory/mts leak on VLAN network interfaces for First Hop Router Protocols (FHRP)—for example, Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP), VRRP, and Gateway Load Balancing Protocol (GLBP).
Conditions: During an ISSU with an FHRP configured on a VLAN network interface, the protocol changes and interface flaps are queued up temporarily. These do not get processed later; this situation also results in mts buffer and memory leaks.
Workaround: This issue is resolved.
•CSCsv85569
Symptom: The Cisco Nexus 7000 Series device may create a duplicate copy of the packet when it receives a packet that requires an ICMP redirect.
Conditions: When the device receives a packet that is routed back on the same interface—which is the condition required to send an ICMP redirect to the source—the hardware switches the packet and sends a copy of the packet to the supervisor for generating ICMP redirect. The supervisor then switches the copied packet using software, which creates a duplicate copy of the packet.
Workaround: This issue is resolved.
•CSCsw17668
Symptom: After you enter the system default switchport command and configure a loopback interface, you may see the following:
–You cannot ping the loopback interface.
–When you enter the show ip interface x command, the system returns the following message:
IP is disabled on loopbackConditions: You may see this symptom after you configure a loopback interface and try to display the IP information for that interface after you have entered the system default switchport command.
Workaround: This issue is resolved.
•CSCsw22423
Symptom: After you modify an ACL set in an interface, some of the ACLs on the other interfaces may not work correctly. For example, after you make this modification, some Layer 4 applications like Telnet or SSH sessions cannot be filtered.
Conditions: You may see this symptom right after you boot the device and modify an ACL configuration.
Workaround: This issue is resolved.
