Caveats
Review the notes listed below before deploying the Cisco Edge Craft. 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.
Bridge View Reloads
When you enter the bridge view for the first time after connecting to a device, the view reloads approximately 5 seconds later. This can be confusing if you have moved on to another task (for example, to viewing to the STP tables), as the reload causes the display to return to the bridge view.
Mobile Radeon 7500 GFX Chip
Installer causes a system crash when installing on a computer with a mobile radeon 7500 GFX chip.
Cbklm Editor Validation
Due to lack of validation in the Cbklm editor, it is possible to create an invalid cross-connection. For example, AU-4 XC in the VC-12 panel. An error message is displayed when saving.
Missing Reconnect Message
Normally, when losing contact with the Network Element, a "Disconnected" message appears. When contact is reestablished, a "Reconnected" message appears. However, occasionally, when reconnects occur in rapid succession, the "Disconnected" and "Reconnected" messages may not appear.
To see the actual status in this case, look in log viewer, or at the connection status icon in the Cisco Edge Craft task bar. Log viewer displays "Connection Lost" and "Connection OK" messages, and the connection status icon changes accordingly.
Empty xcFabric node in Topology Browser
When you expand the xcFabric, it contains nothing. To work around this issue, open the cross-connect GUI from the menu, or by right-clicking the xcFabric.
VLAN Refreshes Too Fast
This issue occurs when many (200) VLANS are defined. When a bridge is selected in tree view, the attributes (selected) view seemingly refreshes constantly. In reality, it refreshes once for each VLAN, but too quickly for a user to detect this is the case.
Time in Device/Time/System Time
(Also: Time in Device/Restart and Device/SWDownload)
When a time and time zone are set in the time editor dialogue box, the conversion to UTC is not performed correctly.
Resolved Caveats for Release 1.1
Because Release 1.1 is a first release, there are no resolved caveats.
New Features and FunctionalityThis section highlights new features and functionality for Release 1.1. Because Release 1.1 is a first release, there are no new features or functionality. For an overview of features of CEC, consult the Cisco Edge Craft, Software Guide, Release 1.1.
