Introduction

The Cisco ONS 15540 ESPx is an optical transport platform that employs DWDM (dense wavelength division multiplexing) technology. With the Cisco ONS 15540 ESPx, 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. The system uses an enhanced chassis with front fiber optic cable access for optical interconnections between transponder modules and optical mux/demux modules. For more information about DWDM technology and applications, refer to the Introduction to DWDM Technology publication and the Cisco ONS 15540 ESPx Planning Guide.

Open Caveats in Release 12.2(18)SV

CSCec08603

Symptom: In a configuration with 10-GE transponder modules, switchover eventually fails when continuous back and forth switchovers are performed from working to protection.

Workaround: None.

CSCec18408

Symptom: A y-cable APS bidirectional switchover caused by a trunk Rx failure takes as long as two seconds in a configuration with 10-GE transponder modules.

Workaround: None.

CSCec28182

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

Workaround: None.

CSCec31146

Symptom: When monitoring is disabled, Loss of Light on the local transparent interface results in Loss of Sync on the far side wave interface.

Workaround: Enable monitoring on the transparent interface.

Resolved Caveats for Release 12.2(18)SV

CSCdu53656

A Cisco device running IOS and enabled for the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is vulnerable to a Denial of Service (DOS) attack from a malformed BGP packet. The BGP protocol is not enabled by default, and must be configured in order 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, please refer to this advisory, available at http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20040616-bgp.shtml.

CSCeb61427

Symptom: The system crashes when the user exits from the console after the active processor card has been removed and inserted online and is switched back to being the active processor card.

Workaround: None.

CSCeb72528

Symptom: Client Tx fault alarm is asserted when an SFP optics is inserted or upon a y-cable switchover.

Workaround: Upgrade to Cisco IOS Release 12.1(12c)EV3 and transponder functional image version 1.A2 or higher.

CSCec05746

Symptom: In a point-to-point network topology setup where bidirectional PSM trunk fiber protection APS is configured, and the in-band message channel is configured for dcc and the controller type of the OADM filter is 0x1104 (4-channel OADM without OSC), APS is unable to track a valid ethernetDcc interface. Therefore the group cannot be associated.

Workaround: Do not configure in-band message channel as dcc for PSM APS if the corresponding OADM module does not have OSC ports (controller type 0x1104).

CSCec22377

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

Workaround: None.

CSCec31512

Symptom: The standby processor card crashes when bus error exceptions are reported at ipc_process_timeout, when doing a send "brk" from a Telnet session, to the active processor card.

Workaround: None.

Limitations and Restrictions

This section provides limitations and restrictions for Cisco ONS 15540 ESPx hardware and software.

Transponder Modules

This section contains limitations and restrictions that apply to transponder modules.

When you insert the standby transponder module in a y-cable protected configuration, remove the cable from the transponder module before inserting the transponder module into the shelf. Failure to remove the cable might result in errors that can affect the performance of the active signal received by the client equipment.

CRC errors occur with 2-Gbps Fibre Channel on single-mode transponder modules 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 on single-mode transponder modules 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 module client side receiver. The average transmitted power level from the GBIC does not violate the overload specification of the transponder module 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

If both processor cards are removed, traffic through the system is affected as follows:

For Type 2 extended range transponder modules, traffic is shut down.

For 10-GE transponder modules, traffic is shut down.

Type 1 SM transponder modules and MM transponder modules do not operate reliably. The traffic might be affected.

In the shutdown state, the Status LED on the line card motherboard turns orange.


Note Traffic on pass through optical channels (which passively pass through the mux/demux modules) are not affected by the removal of the processor cards.
