Introduction

The Cisco ONS 15530 is a DWDM multiservice aggregation platform that maximizes the carrying capacity of fiber by performing service aggregation of protocols such as ESCON, Fibre Channel, FICON, and Gigabit Ethernet. With the Cisco ONS 15530, users can take advantage of the availability of dark fiber to build a common infrastructure that supports data, SAN (storage area networking), and TDM (time-division multiplexing) traffic. For more information about DWDM technology and applications, refer to the Introduction to DWDM Technology publication and the Cisco ONS 15530 Planning Guide.

Resolved Caveats in Release 12.2(25)SV2

CSCef68324

Cisco Internetwork Operating System (IOS) software is vulnerable to a Denial of Service (DoS) and potentially an arbitrary code execution attack from a specifically crafted IPv6 packet. The packet must be sent from a local network segment. Only devices that have been explicitly configured to process IPv6 traffic are affected. Upon successful exploitation, the device may reload or be open to further exploitation.

Cisco has made free software available to address this vulnerability for all affected customers.

More details can be found in the security advisory that is posted at http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20050729-ipv6.shtml.

Open Caveats in Release 12.2(25)SV

CSCdz59146

Symptom: The ethernetdcc interface loses connectivity when splitter protection is configured and the waveethernetphy interface is shut down while the protection wavepatch interface is active and the working wavepatch interface is down.

Workaround: Do not shut down the waveethernetphy interface when the working wavepatch interface is down.

CSCec25368

Symptom: The values returned for entPhysicalVendorType and entPhysicalName are wrong when a low-band single-mode SFP is present in an ESCON aggregation card. The values returned show a low-band multimode SFP instead.

Workaround: None.

CSCee56524

Symptom: Tracebacks related to CPU switch module hog issues occur after installing an 8-port multi-service muxponder after booting up the box.

Workaround: Reboot the system after the muxponder is inserted.

CSCee70185

Symptom: An informational warning is issued instead of a critical alarm when the line cards are shut down in response to a multiple fan failure event after issuing the environment-monitor shutdown fan command.

Workaround: None.

CSCee84190

Symptom: CRC-errored, dropped, out-of-order, or duplicated frames might be transmitted by ports on 4-port 1-Gbps/2-Gbps FC aggregation cards that have symmetric-mode flow-control configured and active if the client device connected to the remote port is operating in asymmetric credit mode.

The remote peer Cisco ONS 15530 logs the EXCESS_FRAME_ALM alarm message during or prior to the occurrence of the errors if conditions with potential to cause the error are detected on the link.

Conditions: This defect note is only applicable if all of the following conditions are true:

Flow control is disabled and the link runs error-free.

Flow control is enabled and the client device sees errors transmitted from the port on the 4-port 1-Gbps/2-Gbps FC aggregation card.

Symmetric mode is configured on the 4-port 1-Gbps/2-Gbps FC aggregation card, and you see flow-control (symmetric) in the show interface command output.

The peer card is a 4-port 1-Gbps/2-Gbps FC aggregation card, and the EXCESS_FRAME_ALM alarm is detected on the remote peer Cisco ONS 15530.

Buffer credit sizes are configurable and readable on the end clients, and the credit numbers on both ends are not the same.

The transmitted errors are not traceable to Tx CRC errors on the interface.

The transmitted errors are not traceable to hardware data parity errors (QDR PARITY error count) in the show controller command output.

Workaround: Configure asymmetric mode on all of the 4-port 1-Gbps/2-Gbps FC aggregation card ports in the affected link. (Symmetric mode is the factory default.) Or, wherever feasible, configure equal buffer credits on the client devices at both ends of the FC/FICON link. Either symmetric or asymmetric mode configuration on the 4-port 1-Gbps/2-Gbps FC aggregation card work well.

CSCef74226

Symptom: When upgrading from Cisco IOS Release 12.1(10)EV4 or Cisco IOS Release 12.1(12c)EV to a later image using standard CPU switch module switchover procedure, the high water mark threshold for the ESCON aggregation card is not programmed to the new value. This might cause higher than expected delays on ESCON streams.

Workaround: Use the escon write <slot_no> 0x1C4 0x40 command to set the high water mark to the correct value for all ports on the ESCON aggregation card. Use the show controller port x/y/z command to display the new value.

CSCef12108

Symptom: The Cisco ONS15530 might not allow you to connect to the standby CPU switch module due to an authentication failure. This occurs when AAA or a local database is used for user authentication as this information (AAA or local database) is not replicated from the active to the standby CPU switch module.

Workaround: None.

CSCef18814

Symptom: Higher than expected delays are seen when operations are performed over an end-to-end DWDM link using the Cisco ONS 15530 system and the ESCON aggregation card. This condition is seen when using the Cisco IOS Release 12.1(10)EV4 image. It may also be seen when migrating from Release 12.1(10)EV4 to later Cisco IOS images.

Workaround: Upgrade the software image and program the correct value by using the following procedure:

1. Read register 0x1C4 by issuing the escon read <slot> 0x1C4 command for each 10-port ESCON aggregation card.

2. Write the correct value of 0x40 to register 0x1C4 by issuing the escon write <slot> 0x1C4 0x40 commands for each 10-port ESCON aggregation card.

3. Re-read 0x1C4 (as done in Step 1) to verify that the register was properly programmed.

Switch# escon read <slot> 0x1C4

CSCef87165

Symptom: An end-to-end link will remain down even if the initial condition that caused the fault is rectified if speed negotiation is enabled on the Fibre Channel switches, FLC is enabled on the corresponding multirate interfaces, and if the link between any one of the multirate interfaces and the FC switch goes down

Workaround:Disable FLC on the multirate interfaces.

CSCef97070

Symptom: The APS switch time is greater then 50 ms

Workaround: None.

CSCeg02766

Symptom: The standby CPU switch module crashes in the scheduler.

Workaround: None.

CSCeg02811

Symptom: Power-on diagnostic loopback tests may report failure when the system is booted immediately after an 8-port FC/GE aggregation card power-cycle.

Workaround: None.

CSCeg06084

Symptom: When autonegotiation is enabled on the CuFE multirate port and the peer device is hardcoded to 100 Mbps full duplex, the link might not come up.

Workaround: Issue the no negotiation auto command to disable autonegotiation on the CuFE port on the 8-port multi-service muxponder.

CSCeg09522

Symptom: When migrating from Release 12.2(23)SV to Release 12.2(25)S1 the following may be seen:

Cross-connect connections to waveethernetphy subinterfaces are replaced by cross-connections to non-exsistant tengigphy subinterfaces.

The cross-connections might not be removeable using the Cisco IOS CLI.

Workaround: If you are not able to remove the invalid cross-connect configuration, perform the following steps:

1. OIR the client card.

2. Issue the write memory command to save the configuration.

3. Reload the switch.

4. Insert the card after the switch boots up.

5. Configure the cross-connection.

CSCeg11241

Symptom: The variable rate high-band single mode SFP (15500-XVRA-12B1) is reported as "unknown" in the system status outputs such as show interface and show controller. The Cisco IOS software allows the interface configuration to proceed normally and traffic is not affected. Traffic flows normally once the port configuration is completed.

Workaround: None.

CSCeg23905

Symptom: A terminal loopback on a multirate interface might not work if the interface is in Loss of Light condition.

Workaround:Clear the Loss of Light condition and then configure terminal loopback.

CSCeg27643

Symptom: After a CPU switch module switchover, the trunk trasmit laser comes up even if it was shut down before the switchover. The laser shutdown configuration is present in the running configuration, but the laser is still enabled.

Workaround: Issue the laser shutdown command again after the switchover.

CSCeg32098

Symptom: The AMI linecoding and the line build out options to sepecify the cable length are not available for T1 and E1 encapsulations of multirate interfaces.

Workaround: None.

CSCeg38355

Symptom: The standby CPU switch module might reload when you upgrade from Release 12.2(24)SV to Release 12.2(25)SV if you are using an 8-port GE/FC aggregation card with the counter synchronization feature enabled.

Workaround: Disable counter synchronization on the primary CPU switch module running Release 12.2(24)SV and then download Release 12.2(25)SV onto the standby CPU switch module.

CSCin79007

Symptom: Even though forward laser control is not configured, the client laser is disabled if an OIR is performed when a keepalive timeout exists on the twogigabitphy interface. The laser is enabled when the keepalive timeout condition is cleared, but it is disabled whenever a keepalive timeout condition is asserted. The client laser shuts down because the keepalive timeout should only be seen under the following conditions:

The portgroup is not cross-connected to a trunk port.

Forward laser control (FLC) is configured on the client interface.

Condition: This behavior is seen only on the x/0/0 twogigabitphy interface of the 4-port 1-Gbps/2-Gbps FC aggregation card if it is removed and reinserted when the interface is in keepalive timeout condition.

Workaround: Change the encapsulation to a different value and then change back to the required encapsulation value.

CSCin81342

Symptom: During a CPU switch module switchover, transparent transponders might experience temporary traffic interruption until the switchover is completed. The behavior is intermittent and not all transponders in a given chassis may be affected. This interruption might happen for the following types of protocol encapsulations:

ETR/CLO

100 Mbps Fast Ethernet / FDDI

ESCON/SBCON

1-Gbps FC/FICON

1-Gbps ISC ((ISC-1, ISC-3 peer mode, 1 Gbps)

2-Gbps FC/FICON

2-Gbps ISC (ISC-3 peer mode, 2 Gbps).

Workaround: None.

CSCin81028

Symptom: Terminal and facility loopback do not work on the multirate interfaces after a CPU switch module switchover.

Workaround: Reconfigure the client encapsulation.

CSCin82637

Symptom: Version compatibility check is not performed on the mux/demux modules and PSM. No warning is issued if there is a version mismatch in hardware and software.

Workaround: None.

CSCin83351

Symptom: A change in the line vty password on a Cisco ONS 15530 active CPU switch module might not be reflected on the standby CPU switch module.

Workaround: Reload the standby CPU switch module after the configuration change.

CSCin84283

Symptom: The show facility-alarm command output shows the "Unknown SFP" alarm, even though the SFP inserted is valid and traffic is not impacted.

Workaround: None.

Resolved Caveats in Release 12.2(25)SV

CSCin76822

Symptom: If a failed subcard is replaced by a new one, the show diag online output continues to indicate that there was a 'previous failure' for this subcard. This should have been cleared when the new card was inserted. This is specific to subcards, for motherboards the older failures are cleared when a new card is inserted.

Workaround: None.

Resolved Caveats in Release 12.2(24)SV

CSCdz82276

Symptom: A warning is issued if the card has an unknown functional image. Version compatibility checks need to be performed during system initialization. The hardware version compatibility should identify any mismatch between functional image versions and hardware versions. The software version compatibility should identify any mismatch between functional image and software image.

CSCea52092

Symptom: After booting the system, optical power coming out of the OSC module seems to be null even though the laser is enabled.

Workaround: Perform an online removal and insertion of the OSC module or carrier motherboard.

CSCec45305

Symptom: If the transparent interface on a multimode transponder line card is configured for Sysplex ETR traffic (encap sysplex etr command), the show interfaces transparent command output shows that forward laser control is set to off. Forward laser control is automatically enabled for Sysplex ETR.

Workaround: Add client input traffic and the trunk side laser will function.

CSCec78648

Symptom: The show redundancy command is not valid on specific versions of the Cisco ONS 15530 software but the choice still exists.

Workaround: Use the show redundancy summary command.

CSCed28094

Symptom: End-to-end GE autonegotiation is not supported by the 8-port FC/GE aggregation card.

Link defects such as a broken fiber from the 8-port FC/GE aggregation card to the client device at one end, which are not directly detected by the Cisco ONS 15530 and cause the client at one end to initiate autonegotiation, are not propagated to the client at the other end.

Any upper-layer processes that depend on bidirectional defect detection and propagation at the transport level might fail for certain classes of link defects.

Workaround: None.

Resolution: Upgrade the 8-port FC/GE aggregation card functional image to Release 2.30 or later.

CSCee22677

Symptom: When a Cisco ONS 15530 is connected to a Catalyst 450x through the gigabitphy interface of the 8-port FC/GE aggregation card, it is possible that the link will remain down after the link goes down on any reason. Conditions for this to happen are as follows:

Auto negotiation is disabled on both the GE interfaces, the Catalyst 4000 interface and the gigabitphy interface of the 8-port FC/GE aggregation card on the Cisco ONS 15530.

FLC is enabled on the gigabitphy interface.

Workaround: Enable autonegotiation on the GE interface level of the Catalyst 4500 at no speed nonegotiate and at negotiation auto for the Cisco ONS 15530.

CSCee50294

Symptom: Cisco IOS® devices running branches of Cisco IOS version 12.2S that have Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server or relay agent enabled, even if not configured, are vulnerable to a denial of service where the input queue becomes blocked when receiving specifically crafted DHCP packets. Cisco is providing free fixed software to address this issue. There are also workarounds to mitigate this vulnerability. This issue was introduced by the fix included in CSCdx46180 and is being tracked by Cisco Bug ID CSCee50294.

This advisory is available at

http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20041110-dhcp.shtml .

Workaround: None.

CSCee75578

Symptom: The GE optical link fails to come up between two Catalyst 65xx 8-port GBIC modules through the Cisco ONS155xx transparent transponders when Forward Laser Control (FLC) is enabled on the system. The link fails to come up irrespective of the type of protection scheme.

Workaround: Use a 16-port GBIC module on the Catalyst 65xx or deactivate FLC on the ONS155xx.

CSCef28950

Symptom: The frame and bit 5-minute input and output rates are missing in the show interface command output of twogigabitphy interfaces on the 4-port 1-Gbps/2-Gbps FC aggregation cards configured for encapsulation for Sysplex ISC.

Workaround: None.

CSCef28967

Symptom: Tx CRC counts are displayed in the show interface command output of twogigabitphy interfaces on the 4-port 1-Gbps/2-Gbps FC aggregation cards configured for encapsulation for Sysplex ISC, even though these counts are not monitored.

Workaround: Ignore the Tx CRC count in the show interface command output for ISC encapsulation.

CSCin69960

Symptom: A receive failure might display a message that the laser if shut due to forward laser control.

Workaround: None.

Resolved Caveats in Release 12.2(23)SV

CSCed38657

Symptom: DWDM links set at a 196.608-Mbps rate, or an uncommon rate close to this, may not work properly on the 2.5-Gbps transponder line card. Link initialization failures and bit errors may occur.

Workaround: None.

CSCee24673

Symptom: High capacity counters are not implemented but are needed.

Workaround: None.

CSCee34107

Symptoms: APS behavior for the aps clear command is inconsistent with the standard behavior when the following conditions occur:

Traffic runs from the working link (link A) and you perform a manual switch to the protected link (link B), causing traffic to switch to link B.

You enter the aps clear command for the aps-group; link A becomes active, regardless of whether the APS group is configured revertively or nonrevertively.

Workaround: None.

CSCee59383

Symptom: The entitySensorMIB is not implemented.

Workaround: None.

CSCeb70408

Symptom: The IDPROM values from the high band single-mode SFPs are not readable. The SFPs cannot be configured and cannot be used.

Workaround: None.

CSCin73872

Symptom: The command for configuring optical thresholds on a voain interface is broken in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(22)SV for the Cisco ONS 15530. The command should be in the form:

optical threshold power receive after-attenuation [low|high] [alarm|warning] <val>

But in Cisco IOS release 12.2(22)SV only the following command can be specified in the interface configuration mode:

optical threshold power receive [low|high] [alarm|warning] <val>

The command is stored in an earlier format in the running configuration for the interface; hence upon reloading the chassis these threshold configurations are lost.

Workaround: Configure the optical threshold using this format:

optical threshold power receive [low|high] [alarm|warning] <val>

If the chassis has to be reloaded, then reconfigure the threshold command again when the box is rebooted.

CSCin78329

Symptom: Power-on diagnostics may fail the credit-buffer-memory test for the 8-port FC/GE aggregation card on the first boot after power cycling the box. Subsequent reboots without power cycling pass the test. These test failures are spurious and can be ignored.

Workaround: Upgrade your Cisco ONS 15530 software to Cisco IOS Release 12.2(23)SV or later.

Resolved Caveats in Release 12.2(22)SV

CSCec14447

Symptom: The 8-port GE/FC aggregation card laser is not in the proper state when a Tx-CRC threshold has been exceeded and FLC is configured.

Workaround: Issue the shutdown/no shutdown command sequence on the affected interface.

CSCec42573

Symptom: In a y-cable APS configuration, interfaces on the 8-port GE/FC aggregation card configured for FICON encapsulation change to GE encapsulation when the saved configuration file is copied to the running configuration.

Workaround: Change the encapsulation back to FICON.

CSCed33451

Symptom: After configuring a patch between a wavepatch interface and a wdmrelay interface, issuing a show connect intermediate command results in spurious memory access.

Workaround: Do not issue the show connect intermediate command when a patch between a wavepatch interface and a wdmrelay interface is configured.

CSCed33852

Symptom: The system might reload unexpectedly when a faulty optical add/drop multiplexer (OADM) module is present in the chassis.

Workaround: Replace the faulty OADM module.

CSCin64935

Symptom: A system might reload unexpectedly when you perform an online removal and reinsertion of a wide-band variable optical attenuator (WB-VOA) module.

Workaround: Do not remove and reinsert a WB-VOA module.

CSCin65618

Symptom: The system might reload unexpectedly when you configure the alarm threshold on a waveethernetphy interface of a 2.5-Gbps ITU trunk card.

This symptom occurs after the following steps:

1. Configure an alarm threshold list with code violation running disparity (CVRD) signal degrade and failure thresholds and apply it to the waveethernetphy interface.

2. Remove the 2.5-Gbps ITU trunk card, remove the threshold configurations from the threshold list, and reinsert the 2.5-Gbps ITU trunk card.

3. Remove the 2.5-Gbps ITU trunk card again, configure a CVRD degrade threshold, remove the threshold list, and reinsert the 2.5-Gbps ITU trunk card.

After you have performed these steps, the shelf reloads.

Workaround: None.

CSCin66424

Symptom: An APS switchover from a working interface to a protect interface might not occur for the following modules:

10-Gbps uplink card

10-Gbps ITU trunk card

2.5-Gbps ITU trunk card

This symptom occurs with the following configurations:

The card is configured for switch fabric based line card protection.

The interfaces of the card have threshold groups that are configured for converged data link header error checksum (CDL HEC) errors or cyclic redundancy check (CRC) errors, or both.

The CDL HEC error thresholds or CRC error thresholds, or both, are exceeded.

Workaround: Do not configure CDL HEC error thresholds, CRC error thresholds, or both. Instead, configure code violation running disparity (CVRD) error thresholds. In a configuration in which an APS switchover of a working interface to a protect interface is based on CDL HEC error thresholds, CRC error thresholds, or both, there is no workaround.

CSCin68117

Symptom: The CLI does not support patch configurations between oscfilter interfaces and voaout interfaces.

Workaround: None.

CSCeb18103

Symptom: OSC wave interface that is configured for laser safety control does not recover when the OSC link is down because of Loss of Light.

This occurs after the following sequence of events:

The OSC wave interface is not configured with laser safety control.

The OSC wave interface goes down with a Loss of Light condition.

The OSC wave interfaces at both ends are configured for LSC, with more than 3 seconds elapsed between the configurations.

The Loss of Light failure is resolved.

This problem does not appear if laser safety control is configured when the OSC wave interface is up.

Workaround: None.

Resolution: Upgrade the Cisco ONS 15540 mux/demux motherboard functional image to release 2.67 or later.

CSCea52092

Symptom: An optical supervisory channel (OSC) module may not provide power even though the laser is enabled after you have booted the shelf.

Workaround: Remove and reinsert the carrier motherboard.

CSCin60562

Symptom: If a row is created in cApsChanConfigTable using createAndWait, a set operation on an instance of cApsChanConfigIfIndex might modify another instance of that object.

Workaround: Use createAndGo to create the row.

Resolved Caveats in Release 12.2(18)SV2

CSCeb87507

Symptom: In some instances the system crashes when it attempts to parse IP SNMP related commands.

Workaround: None.

CSCed05346

Symptom: Bidirectional APS fails when the ethernetdcc interface is used as a message channel for trunk based protection if the PSM is connected directly to a wavepatch interface on an ITU trunk card or transponder line card rather than to the wdm interface on an OADM module.

Workaround: None.

CSCed22589

Symptom: Link initialization failure due to Loss of Lock might occur for ESCON traffic on some transponder line cards due to a transient failure of the clock recovery unit. Only some transponder line cards are susceptible to this failure and not all. This is an initialization failure and not a run-time failure.

Workaround: None.

Resolved Caveats in Release 12.2(18)SV1

CSCdz64021

Symptom: While performing an online removal and insertion of a protection card in a y-cable configuration, the local and remote working ports are flooded with CRC errors.

Workaround: Disconnect the standby branch of the y-cable configuration during the insertion of the standby line card or SFP optics.

CSCec28182

Symptom: Tracebacks related to CPU switch module hog issues are seen when reprogramming the 2.5-Gbps transponder line card functional image.

Workaround: None.

CSCec36614

Symptom: Performing an online removal and insertion on a tengigethernetphy interface or waveethernetphy interface when loopback is configured causes a loss of the loopback information on the hardware. However, the loopback CLI configuration is still present in the software.

Workaround: Remove and reinsert the line card, and then issue the loopback command.

CSCec59409

Symptom: Issuing a Ctrl-U when connected to a raw TL1 port causes the system to crash.

Workaround: If a TL1port is unused, apply an IP ACL to the management Ethernet interface that blocks the incoming TCP connections to ports 3082 and 3083.

CSCec88050

Symptom: Power-on diagnostics fail on the CPU switch module if a 2.5-ITU trunk card is installed in slot 1.

Workaround: None.

Resolved Caveats in Release 12.2(18)SV

CSCdu53656

A Cisco device running Cisco IOS software and enabled for the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is vulnerable to a Denial of Service (DOS) attack from a malformed BGP packet. The BGP is not enabled by default, and must be configured to accept traffic from an explicitly defined peer. Unless the malicious traffic appears to be sourced from a configured, trusted peer, it would be difficult to inject a malformed packet. BGP MD5 is a valid workaround for this problem.

Cisco has made free software available to address this problem. For more details, refer to this advisory, available at http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20040616-bgp.shtml.

CSCdz89270

Symptom: OFC (open fibre control) is not supported with Fibre Channel on the 8-port FC/GE aggregation card. The link might not initialize if an 8-port FC/GE aggregation card is used with older Fibre Channel equipment that employ OFC laser safety mechanisms.

Workaround: None.

CSCeb19410

Symptom: An 8-port FC/GE aggregation card client interface laser may be off when it is configured in a disabled y-cable APS group.

Workaround: Enable and then disable the APS group. This activates the client interface laser.

CSCec03715

Symptom: If the flow identifier on an esconphy interface is changed without deleting the old flow identifier, both the old and the new flow identifiers are present in the lookup table of the ESCON aggregation card. As a result, the old flow identifier cannot be reused on this ESCON aggregation card.

Workaround: Perform an online removal and insertion of the ESCON aggregation card or issue the following sequence of commands in interface configuration mode:

1. no cdl flow identifier

2. cdl flow identifier [OLD IDENTIFIER]

3. no cdl flow identifier

4. cdl flow identifier [NEW IDENTIFIER]

CSCec34628

Symptom: Continuous optical power monitoring alarms cause memory leaks that lead to bus error exceptions and an unexpected reload.

Workaround: None.

Limitations and Restrictions

This section provides limitations and restrictions for Cisco ONS 15530 hardware and software.

Transponder Line Cards

This section contains limitations and restrictions that apply to transponder line cards.

CRC errors might occur with 2-Gbps Fibre Channel on single-mode transponders when high input power levels are received from the client laser sources.

Data errors or link-down conditions for 2-Gbps Fibre Channel might occur when used with certain client laser sources. Transmitters in some client GBIC and SFP transceiver units might send large overshoots in optical power with signal bit transitions, causing momentary overload conditions on the transponder client side receiver. The average transmitted power level from the GBIC does not violate the overload specification of the transponder client side receiver, so a power meter does not detect the overload.

The workaround is to attenuate the signal from the client equipment to a recommended level of -12 dBm when transmitting 2-Gbps Fibre Channel services.

Error-free transmission of some D1 video signals (defined by the SMPTE 259M standard) and test patterns (such as Matrix SDI) cannot be guaranteed by the Cisco 15500 Series because of the pathological pattern in D1 video. This well-known limitation is usually overcome by the D1 video equipment vendor, who uses a proprietary, second level of scrambling. No standards exist at this time for the second level of scrambling.

8-Port FC/GE Aggregation Card

This section contains limitation and restrictions that apply to 8-port FC/GE aggregation cards.

IFCCs (InterFace Control Checks) are generated while extending the distance between an IBM mainframe and IBM 9032 Model 5 ESCON Director through FICON using an 8-port FC/GE aggregation card on a Cisco ONS 15530. These IFCCs are seen on the host side. They occur when the port is configured for FICON without flow control enabled.

The FICON bridge port (on the ESCON Director) expects to be connected directly to an N_Port of the host. Therefore, the bridge port expects the N_Port to send a minimum of six primitive signals (Idles and R_RDYs) between frames. Anything less than six primitive signals causes IFCCs to be generated on the ESCON Director, which in turn are logged on the host. The 8-port FC/GE aggregation card is pure transport and needs to delete and insert one IPG for frequency compensation. Hence, depending on the card, sometimes either five or seven idles are sent between frames. The 8-port FC/GE aggregation card cannot maintain six idles between every frame if the card is on slower side of the clock.

The workaround is to enable flow control using the flow control command on the gigabitphy interfaces.

CPU Switch Modules

This section contains limitations and restrictions that apply to CPU switch modules.

If both CPU switch modules are removed, all aggregation cards, OSC modules, transponder line cards, ITU trunk cards, and uplink cards are shut down.


Note Traffic on pass through optical channels (which passively pass through the OADM modules) are not affected by the removal of the CPU switch modules.

Obtaining Technical Assistance

For all customers, partners, resellers, and distributors who hold valid Cisco service contracts, Cisco Technical Support provides 24-hour-a-day, award-winning technical assistance. The Cisco Technical Support Website on Cisco.com features extensive online support resources. In addition, Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) engineers provide telephone support. If you do not hold a valid Cisco service contract, contact your reseller.

Cisco Technical Support Website

The Cisco Technical Support Website provides online documents and tools for troubleshooting and resolving technical issues with Cisco products and technologies. The website is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, at this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/techsupport

Access to all tools on the Cisco Technical Support Website requires a Cisco.com user ID and password. If you have a valid service contract but do not have a user ID or password, you can register at this URL:

http://tools.cisco.com/RPF/register/register.do


Note Use the Cisco Product Identification (CPI) tool to locate your product serial number before submitting a web or phone request for service. You can access the CPI tool from the Cisco Technical Support Website by clicking the Tools & Resources link under Documentation & Tools. Choose Cisco Product Identification Tool from the Alphabetical Index drop-down list, or click the Cisco Product Identification Tool link under Alerts & RMAs. The CPI tool offers three search options: by product ID or model name; by tree view; or for certain products, by copying and pasting show command output. Search results show an illustration of your product with the serial number label location highlighted. Locate the serial number label on your product and record the information before placing a service call.


Submitting a Service Request

Using the online TAC Service Request Tool is the fastest way to open S3 and S4 service requests. (S3 and S4 service requests are those in which your network is minimally impaired or for which you require product information.) After you describe your situation, the TAC Service Request Tool provides recommended solutions. If your issue is not resolved using the recommended resources, your service request is assigned to a Cisco TAC engineer. The TAC Service Request Tool is located at this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/techsupport/servicerequest

For S1 or S2 service requests or if you do not have Internet access, contact the Cisco TAC by telephone. (S1 or S2 service requests are those in which your production network is down or severely degraded.) Cisco TAC engineers are assigned immediately to S1 and S2 service requests to help keep your business operations running smoothly.

To open a service request by telephone, use one of the following numbers:

Asia-Pacific: +61 2 8446 7411 (Australia: 1 800 805 227)
EMEA: +32 2 704 55 55
USA: 1 800 553-2447

Definitions of Service Request Severity

To ensure that all service requests are reported in a standard format, Cisco has established severity definitions.

Severity 1 (S1)—Your network is "down," or there is a critical impact to your business operations. You and Cisco will commit all necessary resources around the clock to resolve the situation.

Severity 2 (S2)—Operation of an existing network is severely degraded, or significant aspects of your business operation are negatively affected by inadequate performance of Cisco products. You and Cisco will commit full-time resources during normal business hours to resolve the situation.

Severity 3 (S3)—Operational performance of your network is impaired, but most business operations remain functional. You and Cisco will commit resources during normal business hours to restore service to satisfactory levels.

Severity 4 (S4)—You require information or assistance with Cisco product capabilities, installation, or configuration. There is little or no effect on your business operations.
