Please note the following on page 1-22 of Cisco 7200/7400 Series Manager User Guide:

Card Type Not Set

This state applies only to voice cards. It indicates that the voice card has been discovered and commissioned but is not configured.

A voice card must be configured as a T1 or E1 card. This is not possible until the card is commissioned. When the voice card is discovered and commissioned, it is placed in the Card Type Not Set state until the configuration is saved. After the card is configured, it is moved to the appropriate state (typically Normal).

Please note the following on page 2-14 of Cisco 7200/7400 Series Manager User Guide:

Table 1   Cisco 7200/7400 Series Manager Known Problems

Bug ID Summary Explanation

CSCdu32799

Print function does not work in IP, Ethernet, and ATM configuration windows.

To work around the problem, paste a screenshot of the configuration window into another application and then print it.

CSCdu32817

Chassis Configuration window does not display updated information.

Updated chassis information is not displayed after selecting CERM Management > Physical > Chassis > Configuration.

Refer to Using Cisco 7200/7400 Series Manager for a listing of relevant fields.

CSCdu37159

Unable to commission power supply module when deployed manually.

The option to manually deploy power supplies is available; the option to manually commission power supplies is not. As a result, power supplies may not be discovered properly.

To work around problem, commission the chassis.

CSCdu41694

POS interfaces discovered as generic SNMP interfaces.

Problem occurs because router is not providing expected SONET layer support. Therefore, Cisco 7200/7400 Series Manager provides only available functionality (in this case, Generic and IP functionality).

CSCdu61481

7200/7400 Series Element Manager does not support all fields displayed in ATM dialog boxes.

Since Cisco 7200/7400 routers do not fully support ATM MIBs, the 7200/7400 Series Element Manager cannot support every field displayed in the following dialog boxes:

  • ATM Configuration
  • ATM Fault Management
  • ATM Status
  • ATM PVC Status

Refer to Using Cisco 7200/7400 Series Manager, which specifies the attributes supported by the Element Manager.

CSCdv68771

Uninstallation of CERM using the script cemf install -r results in removal of certain shared packages.

Uninstalling CERM or CGM using script
cemf install -r uninstalls certain shared packages.

To work around problem in CERM:

1. Log in as root.

2. Go to CERM install directory.

3. Run command ./cerminstall -r

CSCdv75154

When EMS is installed on an operational setup (with EMS already installed and objects already deployed), objects of the second EM could not be deployed under the same site.

To work around problem:

1. Install the second EM.

2. Create a hierarchy, similar to the existing physical view hierarchy, in the technology view of the second EM.

CSCdv17064

Layer 3 QoS functionality should not be available for voice cards.

Layer 3 QoS does not apply to voice cards and their interfaces. Currently no workaround is available.

CSCdv29627

IP configuration on voice card interfaces fails.

When you try to save the IP configuration on voice card interfaces, the IP Failure Information window appears. Currently no workaround is available.

CSCdv79724

Save button should not be highlighted without management info set.

Save button is highlighted even if you have not set the management info. However, you can save the configuration only if you set the management info.

CSCdv87091

DS1 configuration can be done without router authentication info.

When the Cisco 7200/7400 Series Manager establishes a telnet session with the router for any CLI operation, it maintains the session for some time, even after the session in closed. During this period, even if the device is deleted and redeployed, DS1 configuration can be done without setting the management info.

CSCdv87954

No linkUp trap displayed for voice interfaces.

When DS1 interface is shut down, Link <link number> down status is displayed in the event browser. But when a "no shut" is done on the same interface, Link <link number> up status is not displayed. Currently no workaround is available.

CSCdt89681

No value is displayed in ATM PVC Performance dialog.

Because Cisco 7200/7400 routers do not fully support ATM MIBs, the Cisco 7200/7400 Series Manager cannot support any field displayed in PVC Performance dialog box. Currently no workaround is available.

CSCdu57577

Commission on I/O cards leaves interface in commissioning state

When the I/O cards are deployed manually, the interfaces under the I/O cards are created. When the card is commissioned, it moves to commissioning state, but the interface for IO2FE, IOGEE, and IO remains in the commissioning state. For IOFE card interfaces, mismatched state is displayed.

To work around problem, use autodiscovery.

CSCdu57683

Deployment of IO GE+E card creates Ethernet interface 0/1

Subchassis discovery creates nonexisting interface 0/1. Currently no workaround is available.

CSCdv10222

CAR policy status is not dynamically updated

CAR policy status is not getting updated dynamically even though dynamic updates are enabled.

To work around problem, apply car policy on an interface. Click any other interface and then click the interface on which the car policy was applied.

CSCdw19279

Manual deploy: interface state goes to lostcomms state

During the manual deployment of voice cards, when the card type is not set, commissioning the card makes the interface to move to lostcomms state. Currently no workaround is available.
