Caveats
Review the notes listed below before deploying the ONS 15216. Caveats with DDTS tracking numbers are known system limitations that are scheduled to be addressed in a subsequent release. Caveats without DDTS tracking numbers are provided to point out procedural or situational considerations when deploying the product.
Hardware Caveats
There are no hardware caveats for this release.
Software Caveats
Closed Software Caveats
The following software caveats have been resolved.
DDTS # CSCeb01948: Communications ports lock up after Nessus VxWorks FTP DoS script
While using the remote host, the system can be crashed due to a buffer overflow in FTPD on VxWorks. This vulnerability affects VxWorks FTPD versions 5.4 and 5.4.2. More information can be obtained at http://cgi.nessus.org/plugins/dump.php3?id=11184
Conditions
Although the optical portion of the 15216 OADM is still correctly functioning, the controller board seems to be locked up. Access from ethernet port or RS-232 local craft port are disabled. Alarms will not be surfaced. The only way to recover access to the OADM is to reboot the unit,which will be service affecting.
Workaround
Power cycle to hard reboot the OADM. The issue has been fixed in version 2.2.2
DDTS # CSCea91836: OADM RS232 serial port locks up after user timeout
The user will be automatically logged out when the inactive time is greater than the set timeout period. After the user is logged out, the RS232 port is locked.
Conditions
Occurs when user inactive time is larger than user timeout time or 10 minutes, if the user timeout is set larger than 10 minutes.
Workaround
Open a TL1 session through Ethernet port and issue INIT-SYS::EQPT:123::0; command from the LAN port to restore the RS-232 port communications. The issue takes place in version 2.2.0 and 2.2.1 and has been resolved in version 2.2.2.
DDTS # CSCea16026: OADM unit stops responding to user commands under heavy usage
After a large number of inquiries to OADM, it will stop responding to user commands.
Conditions
Occurs under all conditions.
Workaround
Perform a DC power cycle of the OADM unit if OADM is running software version 2.2.0. Issue has been resolved in software version 2.2.1.
Open Software Caveats
DDTS # CSCdz40833: LOSDROP East-1 alarm enable/disable status is always enabled after a reset
On the 1-ch OADM, the EAST-1 drop port LOS alarm can be disabled, but after a restart of the unit the alarm is displayed again as enabled.
Conditions
Occurs only on the 1-ch OADM EAST-1 drop port when there is a software reset.
Workaround
If the alarm needs to be disabled, use the ED-NE-GEN command again after a reset to disable the alarm.
DDTS # CSCdz40902: Timeout setting is not kept after a restart
The timeout setting is not stored in the non-volatile memory, so if the user changes the timeout value, the new setting is kept if he logs out and then log in again, but is not kept after a restart of the unit (INIT-SYS). After the restart, the values of the timeout are reverted back to the default values (e.g. 15 minutes for RWA users).
Conditions
Occurs for the SET-ATTR-SECUDFLT command if there is a software restart.
Workaround
If the timeout settings are changed from their default values, use the SET-ATTR-SECUDFLT command again after a restart to set the timeout values.
DDTS # CSCdz41745: Alarms/events log file is reset (emptied) after soft or hard reset
The log files of the autonomous messages are not retained if a power cycle or a soft reset (through INIT-SYS) is performed.
Conditions
Occurs if the unit is reset or power cycled.
Workaround
Retrieve the autonomous message log using the RTRV-AO command before resetting or power cycling the unit.
DDTS # CSCdz41689: Date setting unsuccessful if power cycle happens before user logs out
The date/time settings do not take effect if a power cycle happens before the user logs out. Notice that a soft reset (through INIT-SYS) does not have the same impact (after the reset the date and time setting are still kept).
Conditions
Occurs for the ED-DAT command if the unit is power cycled before user log out.
Workaround
If the date or time is edited, the user should log out before power cycling the unit.
DDTS # CSCdx57061: Telnet port 3083 does not require a semicolon after TL1 commands
TL1 commands are sent on the 3083 telnet port when the user hits the enter key - no semicolon is required.
Conditions
This behavior limited to port 3083. Port 3082 correctly requires that a semicolon be used to terminate and send a TL1 command.
Workaround
Commands are correctly sent if the semicolon key is used to terminate the command line.
DDTS # CSCdy63785: Incorrect syntax for RTRV-AO command response
A carriage return and line feed (i.e. a blank line) is missing from RTRV-AO response message, prior to the final " */" before the terminating semicolon.
Conditions
Occurs under all conditions.
Workaround
None. Issue will be resolved in a future software release.
DDTS # CSCdy63840: RTRV-STATUS command should be allowed to any user
Only RWA level users have access to the RTRV-STATUS command.
Conditions
Occurs under all conditions.
Workaround
Log in as a RWA level user to execute the RTRV-STATUS command.
DDTS # CSCdy65043: INH/ALW-MSG-ALL commands should be allowed to any user.
Only RWA and RW level users have access to the INH-MSG-ALL and ALW-MSG-ALL commands.
Conditions
Occurs under all conditions.
Workaround
Log in as a RWA or RW level user to execute the INH-MSG-ALL or ALW-MSG-ALL commands.
DDTS # CSCdy67627: Incorrect filtering implementation for RTRV-ALM-DWDM and RTRV-ALM-COM
The specific parameters used in the stage General Block of the RTRV-ALM-DWDM and RTRV-ALM-COM commands are used as an OR condition instead of an AND condition. For example, after entering RTRV-ALM-DWDM:::123::MN,LOSADD; the response will show alarms of type LOSADD or with severity MN (instead of only those of type LOSADD and with severity MN).
Conditions
Occurs only when more than one parameter is specified in the stage general block.
Workaround
None. Issue will be resolved in a future software release.
DDTS # CSCdy67682: ED-DAT command should be allowed to any user
Only RWA and RW level users have access to the ED-DAT command.
Conditions
Occurs under all conditions.
Workaround
Log in as a RWA or RW level user to execute the ED-DAT command.
DDTS # CSCdx78978: ED-, RTRV-, SET-TH, and RTRV-TH-DWDM take more than two seconds to complete
TL1 commands ED-DWDM, RTRV-DWDM, SET-TH-DWDM, and RTRV-TH-DWDM may sometimes take three to four seconds to complete, without issuing an "in progress" message.
Conditions
Occurs intermittently.
Workaround
None.
DDTS # CSCdy80557: RTRV-DFLT-SECU response message does not display the <aid>
The response message for the RTRV-DFLT-SECU does not include the EQPT <aid>, as per TR-835.
Conditions
Occurs for the RTRV-DFLT-SECU command.
Workaround
None. Issue will be resolved in a future software release.
