Changes to the Release Notes
This section documents supplemental changes that have been added to the Release Notes for Cisco EdgeCraft Release 2.0 since the production of the Cisco ONS 15305 System Software CD for Release 2.0.
No changes have been added to the release notes for Release 2.0.
Caveats
Review the notes listed below before deploying the EdgeCraft. 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.
DDTS # CSCeg61416
VT100 Terminal Blocks TFTP Server Port and SNMP Traps.
If CiscoEdgeCraft is started and the VT100 terminal is started from the login window an exit from CiscoEdgeCraft (directly from login or after connect to element with the VT100 terminal running) will cause an occupied TFTP-port. When CiscoEdgeCraft is started again, the TFTP server does not function.
Workaround:
Shut down the VT100 terminal before starting CiscoEdgeCraft again.
DDTS # CSCeg61421
Adding Route on Interface with Down Status.
Adding default route using the Management Tree in the IP/iproute table, fails.
Workaround:
Make sure the interface has status up before adding a route.
DDTS # CSCeg61599
CiscoEdgeCraft Process Not Terminated from Login Screen.
If CiscoEdgeCraft is started and no community string is entered but Logon is pressed, the client will hang for a while before reporting not able to connect. If the user during this presses the X in the upper right corner, the client seems to be closed, but it is actually not (see TaskManager).
Workaround:
Wait for error message and click Exit to close Logon dialog.
DDTS # CSCeg61604
The MCN wizard does not support IP un-numbered configuration in current release.
Workaround:
Since this is a strategically choice for IP configuration and planning of MCN, this needs to be set in ONSCLI. After ONSCLI set-up, select ManagementInterfaces in the Management Tree and use attributes available instead.
DDTS # CSCeg61608
The commissioning wizard does not include new alarm configuration options applicable for ONS 15305 2.0.
Workaround:
Use attributes available under the Management tree instead. Device->AlarmConfig.
DDTS # CSCeg61616
Firewall Considerations for CiscoEdgeCraft vs. NEs. Please consider the following details related to firewalls.
Workaround:
Configuration management:
•
SNMP SET/GET - UDP 161

DDTS # CSCeg61629
Alarms on AU4 Removed when Restructuring. The problem occurred when restructuring an SDH port on the AUG1 level. If the port is restructured from "au4ToCrossConnect" to "tug3x3", or from "tug3x3" to "au4ToCrossConnect", active alarms on the AU4 managed object are cleared from the active alarm list.
Workaround:
A refresh of the alarm list will show these alarms again.
DDTS # CSCeg61633
WAN to SDH GUI - LCAS Channel Status. Setting LcasChannelStatus when running 'nolcas'.
Workaround:
The user is allowed to manage the LCAS channel status. This settings has no effect if the port is not running in LCAS mode.
DDTS # CSCeg61634
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.
Workaround:
None.
DDTS # CSCeg61638
Mobile Radeon 7500 GFX Chip. When CiscoEdgeCraft/Installation is run as the single java application on the system and the application is closed, this may cause a blue screen on computers with the mobile radeon 7500 gfx chip.
Workaround:
Please update the driver for the chip and/or reference Sun BugParade #4713003.
DDTS # CSCeg61640
Structuring Wizard Validation. Structuring wizard allows operator to set a structure not applicable for ONS 15302 2.0.0 without new GFP WAN module. To avoid this unnecessary "Unsuccessful operation" consider removing the option for accessing the wizard when there are no GFP WAN module present. The same applies when there is no wan module present at all.
Workaround:
None.
DDTS # CSCeg61645
Software download GUI misinform operator when downloading software to ONS 15305. Quite immediately after download of the Network Release package have been triggered from the Software Download GUI, the status bar states "flashing". This is not correct, as the TFTP transfer has just begun. When downloading software/firmware to the ONS15305, this will be a multiple transfer operation, sending one file at the time, until all files enclosed in Network Release zip-file have been downloaded. The flashing process starts when all files have been stored in Compact Flash.
Workaround:
In order to verify flashing process use the following option from the "Management Tree". Menu path CEC: Management Tree->device->SWDownload->SwdlProgress
DDTS # CSCeg61649
Wrong presentation of attributes for WAN ports for the S1.1-8-LC module. The nature of all bridge ports on Ethernet modules is the same and is operational from the Ethernet switch, where they all can be seen as LAN-ports. However, the WAN-ports interfacing the Ethernet over SDH (EoS) mapper does not support other than full duplex 100Mbit/s operation for Ethernet traffic as they are connected to the EoS circuit.
The Ethernet WAN-port presentation of attributes incorrectly allows the operator to change the following attributes: "SpeedAdminMode", "DuplexAdminMode" and "AutoNegotiationMode". Editing these attributes for WAN-ports may lead to low throughput.
Workaround:
Do not edit these attributes for WAN-ports.
Resolved Caveats for Release 2.0
This section highlights the resolved caveats for Release 2.0.
Upgrade from ONS 15305 Release 1.0.0 to 1.1.0
When the ONS 15305 is upgraded from Release 1.0.0 to 1.1.0, Cisco Edge Craft does not fully support the upgrade.
Workaround: Reconnect Cisco Edge Craft.

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 automatically provides recommended solutions. If your issue is not resolved using the recommended resources, your service request will be 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

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.
