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.

Limitations

·       For Equipment (port, card, chassis) Model number, serial number and part number are not modeled sometimes, depending on the API response.

·       For the Card/ SFP removal/in, Controller is not generating any card/SFP out/in notifications, only modification is generated for which HCO will attempt a modification of the entity

·       The SFP count in the controller API response is mismatching with the controller UI

Limitations

·       The admin-status, oper-status and service health are not modeled.

·       Service to Service Intent mapping fails when tagged services are created over untagged port or vice versa.  It is recommended not to create such configurations.

·       The notification processing takes a longer time due the time taken by the controller for

o    To respond to the create request

o    Create notification generation is taking time after the create request response

o    The export task to get the Service end points and the Underlay tunnels information

Limitations

1.     Since the create notification processing is taking time the discovery step time in the Service Manager App need be increased.

e.g sedo config add service-manager-app_sm-configuration_global '"{\"discovery_timeout_ms\":1200000}"' --ro-access permission/hco/service-manager-app:ro  --rw-access permission/admin --rw-access permission/hco/service-manager-app:rw   

2.     There are no notifications generated by the controller for CIR and EIR modification, So polloing interval needs to be reduced to go through the discovery step of modification flow.

3.     Tagged and untagged services cannot/should not be created on the same endpoints

4.     Tagged A-side and Untagged Z-side services are not allowed – this is an invalid configuration on the Controller

5.     QoS parameters in payload are CIR and PIR whereas CIR and EIR are used in HCO.  PIR=CIR+EIR will be sent in the create and modify payloads.

6.     If given the CBS and EBS values will be discarded during the creation as the controller does not expect in payload

7.     If CBS and EBS values are modified the Modification will be failed with a validation error as these are not expected by the controller
