Current Release Cisco ESSE SW 1.0
These release notes are for use with the Cisco ESSE. These release notes provide the following major sections:
When you are using Linux and Netscape 4.72, the Device List screens lack a horizontal scroll bar. You might have to resize or reload the screen to reach the Help button in the upper right corner.
Known problems are unexpected behaviors or defects in the Cisco ESSE. They are graded according to severity level. These release notes contain descriptions of all severity level 1 or 2 bugs and significant severity level 3, 4, and 5 bugs.
You can search for problems using the Cisco bug tracking tool, Bug Navigator II.
To access Bug Navigator:
Step 2 Under Service & Support, select Technical Support Help—Cisco TAC and then click Tool Index.
Step 3 In the Jump to: field at the top of the page, click the letter S.
Step 4 Click on Software Bug Toolkit/Bug Watcher then click Bug Navigator II.
You can also access Bug Navigator by entering the following URL in your web browser: http://www.cisco.com/support/bugtools.
| Bug ID | Summary | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
CSCdv79391 | Gig link in forced mode | The connection between the Catalyst 4000 hooked up to the network side of the Cisco ONT 1031will not function with the switch port in autonegotiation mode. If this link is not functioning properly, verify that the switch port is set to forced mode (autonegotiation off) before checking physical connections or other potential problems. The command is set port negotiation m/p disable. |
CSCdv79391 | Network topology | The Cisco ESSE might not detect traffic from Cisco ONT 1031s that are configured as part of different VLANs. Configure the Cisco ESSE port connecting to the Catalyst 4000 switch as a VLAN trunk for the VLANS used by your Cisco ONT 1031s. |
CSCdv79391 | Resizing | Whenever you resize the browser window the Cisco ESSE returns you to the List of Devices screen. The buttons also become unselectable (pressing them has no effect). To recover: Step 1 Press the browser Refresh button. Step 2 Return to the screen you were using when you resized the browser. |
The following are sections where the installation and setup guide for the Cisco ESSE may be inaccurate or incomplete.
New statistics data collected for each Cisco ONT 1031 is automatically appended to corresponding statistics data files every 15 minutes. As the data file grows, a considerable amount of storage space is used when total number of devices in the system is large, e.g. 2000. Unless statistics data is periodically pruned, the available space will eventually fill up. The Cisco ESSE administrator must periodically back up and prune the statistics data to free up memory used by historical statistics. This leaves space available for new data and for future statistics collection. At full capacity, a Cisco ESSE should be able to hold all needed data for 30 days, and older data should be pruned monthly.
To prune the statistics collection data, perform the following steps at the Cisco ESSE CLI:
>/opt/CSCOets/bin/pdterm collector
 |
Note You don't need to stop the l2nmpstack. |
|
Note You can also use the backup feature in the Administration section of the GUI interface |
Step 2 Back up data for all Cisco ONT 1031 devices using the following commands at the admin prompt:
> backupconfig scorpion foo bar /home/l2nmp/archive
> backup
Step 3 To prune the Cisco ONT statistics collection data, run the following command from the root prompt:
> rm -rf /home/data/collector/*
Step 4 To resume the statistics collector, run the following command from the root prompt:
> /opt/CSCOets/bin/pdexec collector
Documentation of the restore command might have been difficult to understand.
Use the restore command to restore a backed up configuration of the Cisco ESSE.
restore {backup name}backup name | Name of backup file set to be used to restore the Cisco ESSE |
To restore a configuration, use the restore command. The restore command will erase all current user, device, log, and configuration data. The backup names of the backup images can be found in the destination BACKUP directory on the destination backup device defined by Hostname/IP and path/directory for each backup image created. For example, dest/BACKUP/Test1_01152002_201732.
|
Note The system will automatically reboot after you run the restore command from either the CLI or the GUI. |
The following command will restore a backed up configuration:
restore dest/BACKUP/Test1_01152002_201732
backup
backupconfig
listbackup
show backupconfig
