Caveats

This section describes open and resolved severity 1 and 2 caveats and some severity 3 caveats. The "Open Caveats" section lists open caveats that apply to the current release and may apply to previous releases. The "Resolved Caveats" sections list caveats resolved in a particular release, but open in previous releases.

Open Caveats in Release 12.2(26)SV

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.

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.

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

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.

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 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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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:

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.

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

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.

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.

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

Symptom: A temporary traffic interruption in 2.5G transparent transponders during ONS 15540 and 15530 CPU switchover. This depends on the software versions of the Active CPU before and after the switchover.

Conditions: This can occur when switching from a CPU that is running on IOS software without the fix for CSCec64326, to a CPU running on IOS software with the fix for CSCec64326. The fix for CSCec64326 involves changes to hardware settings, causing the temporary datahit.

Workaround: None. The problem will be fixed in a future release of IOS software.

Symptom: When 15530-FC-4P card in FibreChannel flow-control-enabled configuration transitions from flow-control Active to flow-control Not-Active state (due to link events such as Link Reset from the FibreChannel client), errored data may temporarily get transmitted from the FC-4P card causing the client FC device to record Transmission Word Errors.

These errors are temporary and should settle back to a clean state after re-login of the link.

This problem is first noticed with fcge-8p and found to be present in FC-4P too.

Symptom: An extra APS switch-over may occur when trunk fiber pull operations are performed in a particular sequence with 2.5G transponder splitter APS configured in an ONS15530 system.

Condition: Pull out the working fiber connected to active wavepatch, with protect fiber inserted. The APS state is work-down (standby) and protect-up (active).

Insert working fiber. Wait for six to eight seconds. Pull the protect cable and then insert it back within 2 secs.

Symptom: The client laser of 8-port gefc card interface connected to the ITU trunk card goes down momentarily on an ONS 15530 system, when splitter protection switching occurs on the itu trunk card.

Conditions: This occurs when the Forward Laser Control is enabled on the gigabitphy interface of the 8-port gefc card.

Symptom: On an ONS15530 system, the cross connections belonging to a 4-Port FC card are lost during software upgrade. This is found when upgrading from any IOS image released before 12.2(25)SV, to any IOS image released in or after 12.2(25)SV.

Symptom: For 15530 multirate cards, the 'encap mismatch' alarm asserts if the encapsulation configured on a multirate interface doesn't match with the encapsulation configured on the peer multirate interface. This alarm is not reported on the 'sh facility-alarm status ' output.

Symptom: In ONS 15530, the standby CPU gets reloaded while downgrading from 12.2(26)SV to 12.2(24)SV, if the counter syncing feature in the 8p-GEFC card is enabled.

Workaround: Disable counter syncing on the primary CPU that runs on 12.2(26)SV and then reload 12.2(24)SV on the standby CPU.

Resolved Caveats in Release 12.2(26)SV

Symptom: Duplicate frames may be delivered to clients on the ONS15530, in the case of manual aps switchover (by operator command) with line card aps, from one trunk linecard to another.

Conditions: This could occur when the switchover is made from a trunk connected through shorter path to a trunk connected through longer path.

Symptom: The power-on diagnostics loopback tests of a Cisco ONS 15530 8-port FC/GE aggregation card (15530-FCGE-8P) may report failure.

Conditions: This symptom is observed very rarely when the Cisco ONS 15530 is booted immediately after a power-cycle.

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.

Conditions: This symptom is observed in 15500-XVRA-12B1 (10-1844-xx) SFP transceiver, on 15530-FCGE-8P and 15530-FC-4P linecards. It is also observed with Cisco IOS versions upto and including 12.2(24)SV and 12.2(25)S1.

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.

Symptom: When a cpu switchover is performed (or triggered) on an ONS 15540 or ONS 15530 system, the memory utilization on the new primary increases by 10MB. In such a case, the memory utilization may go up to 85%. This problem is seen only with 12.2 based images.

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:

Symptom: The received and transmit frame counts are not displayed for Gigabit Ethernet encapsulation on ONS 15530 8-port GigE/FC card.

Symptom: In ONS 15530 and 15540 systems, the reading shown by the temperature sensor device attached to CPU cards may get stuck and do not change. Large differences between the temperature readings of the active and standby CPUs , or more than 10degree C difference between the readings of Inlet and Outlet sensors on the same CPU, are indicative of this stuck state on one or more sensors.

Conditions: ONS 15530 and 15540 CPU cards manufactured upto March 2005 may have the older version sensor part and are potentially affected. Some cards produced before this affected date do have new sensor parts and are therefore not affected.

Date of manufacture of the CPU card can be displayed using the show hardware detail command from IOS.

For cards manufactured upto the fixed date, it is not possible to identify affected CPU boards based on version or serial number. It can only be checked by running a software utility (Please see resolution section below).

The failure is rarely found. The CPU temperature sensor may function normally after power up , and thereafter enter the stuck state at a later point during runtime.

Workaround: None. Removing and reinserting the CPU card or power-cycling the chassis may help recover from this error.

Resolution: This issue has been fixed in a later version of the temperature sensor device, and hence a CPU replacement is needed for a permanent fix. At this time the necessary logistics are being worked out to:

–

provide a software utility to customers to identify whether a sensor is already stuck on the CPU, or has a potential of getting stuck [old version].

–

arrange for sufficient CPUs to be provided to replace affected CPUs in the field.

Impact: The command show environment will return incorrect temperature values. Minor, Major and Critical alarms that are based on temperature will not function.

Symptom: Traffic is disrupted for one to two seconds on ONS 155xx transponders configured with Forward Laser Control, when a protection switchover occurs on a trunk Protection Switch Module (PSM). This exceeds the specification of 50ms maximum failover time for the optical transport layer.

Workaround: Disable FLC on trunk-to-client direction of transponder, if feasible for the service. This workaround does not apply for ISC, ETR or CLO services.

Resolution: This will be fixed in the future release of IOS software on ONS15530 and ONS15540, with a caveat that the following configuration will not be supported on the platform:

–

Transponder motherboard or linecard with on-board optical splitter module (even if the optical splitter is disabled by configuration)

Symptom: On an ONS 15540/15530 system with Protection Switch Module, if a CPU switch occurs with the APS state such that protect interface is active and working interface is standby, then after the new CPU comes up there will be an extra APS switch to working. This is seen with all ONS15540 and ONS15530 software based on 12.1 and 12.2.

Symptom: On an ONS 15530 system, the system may stop responding and reload, when a threshold group is configured on the waveethernetphy interface of an itu trunk card.

Resolved Caveats in Release 12.2(25)SV

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.

Resolved Caveats in Release 12.2(24)SV

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Resolved Caveats in Release 12.2(23)SV

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.

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.

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

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:

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

–

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.

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.

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

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.

–

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

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

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

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

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.

Resolved Caveats in Release 12.2(18)SV2

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

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.

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.

Resolved Caveats in Release 12.2(18)SV1

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.

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

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.

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.

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

Resolved Caveats in Release 12.2(18)SV

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.

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.

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.

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:

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

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.
