Bug ID |
Description |
Headline: N9500-R/N3600-R hardware application counters may get corrupted. Symptoms: N9500-R/N3600-R running 9.3(x) version of converged code may experience hardware counter corruption causing specific application counters to show incorrect information. Workarounds: Reload will clear the issue but the issue can resurface. |
|
Headline: N9500-R/N3600-R CoPP incorrectly matches fragmented UDP packet with UDP PTP port payload as PTP pkt Symptoms: N9500-R/N3600-R running 9.3.x or 10.2.x version of code matches incorrectly by CoPP redirect class mcast/ucast UDP fragmented packets with UDP PTP ports payload (319/320) as PTP packets. Workarounds: None |
|
Headline: Device yang JSON ON_CHANGE snapshot is returned in flattened format rather than aggregated format Symptoms: In Cisco NX-OS Release 10.2(3)F, the on_change snapshot for yang paths is in flattened format instead of aggregated format. In Cisco NX-OS Release 10.2(2)F, this was in aggregated format. Workarounds: Use GPB as encoding. |
|
Headline: Credit Loss Recovery is not triggered for FC interface with no transmit credits. Symptom: A Fibre Channel interface that stays at 0 transmit credits is not recovered by the Credit Loss Recovery agent. Workaround: If the interface has switchport ignore bit-errors configured, then remove it with the no switchport ignore bit-errors interface configuration command. |
|
Headline: Revert reserved MAC blocking behavior for VRRP macs on SVIs Symptoms: User is not able to configure VRRP VMAC on SVI interfaces. Workarounds: None. |
|
Headline: Custom COPP causing transit traffic to be punted to the CPU on Nexus 9300-GX2 Symptoms: When custom-COPP policy contains ACL rules which match on Layer 4 destination or source port, transit traffic also hits the COPP and the packets are copied to CPU. This causes duplication of traffic as CPU also routes the copied packets to the destination. Workarounds: Custom COPP policy using src/dst match mitigates punt for transit traffic. |
Bug ID |
Description |
Headline: N9300 BFD session over SVI/L2 sends packets out on incorrect L2 port. Symptoms: BFD session on SVI/L2 does not come up. Workarounds: N/A |
|
Headline: N9300 NAT TS is missing t'shooting required output. Symptoms: N9300 running 9.3x version of code is missing 'show ip nat translation verbose internal-detail' output which is required to t'shooting NAT issues as all important 'nat event-history event' messages are referencing "Entry-id" which is included only in this output and not in 'show ip nat translation verbose' which is already part of 'show tech-support nat' output. Workarounds: None |

Headline: N9Kv: arp-sup command error due to tcam size lost after reload Symptoms: There is a breakage/issue on N9Kv that “tcam region arp-ether” command is lost upon reboot and “suppress-arp” command cannot be executed after reload on N9Kv. Workarounds: Apply below commands right after every reload, switch(config)# hardware access-list tcam region racl 512 switch(config)# hardware access-list tcam region arp-ether 256 double-wide Then (without reload) enable/disable suppress-arp command, that should successfully work, switch (config)# int nve1 switch (config-if-nve)# member vni 4 switch (config-if-nve-vni)# suppress-arp |

Headline: SNMP memory allocation failure leads to a crash Symptoms: We see high values of RLIMIT and Total for the SNMP process, which leads to a crash Workarounds: There are no workarounds at the moment.The issue is being investigated. |
|
Headline: N9K-SNMP: snmp use-ipv4acl cmd accepted eventhough the associated snmp-user is not configured. Symptoms: Command used for filtering SNMP request is being accepted even when SNMP user is not configured. Workarounds: Cosmetic issue. No impact to management tools. |
|
Headline: DME: Tacacs type-6 key is not reflected on DME. Hence, config out-of-sync between CLI/DME Symptoms: In CLI, tacacs shared key is converted from type-7 to type-6, which is expected. But, in DME still maintains tacacs shared key as "type-7. Hence, config out-of-sync between CLI/DME. Workarounds: None |
|
Headline: N9K || erspan-destination || Inner DSCP rewrite to 0 on erspan-destination Symptoms: ERSPAN-destination rewrites the DSCP value of the internal packet to 0. This only seems to happen for ERSPAN-destination session. If you have an ERSPAN-source session only (where SPAN traffic is being directly sent to the monitoring device) the DSCP values are retained. Workarounds: A possible workaround is to use the "ip dscp" value on the source of the ERSPAN-session configuration. The limitation of this workaround is that it will rewrite the DSCP value (for the internal packet) for all packets irrespective of the original TOS / DSCP value |

Headline: N9500-R/N3600 break link-local control-plane adj for connected L3 devices Symptoms: N9500-R/N3600 running 9.3.8 version of code breaks link-local control-plane adjacencies (e.g. OSPF) for connected L3 devices. When igmp snooping is disabled, link-local control-plane works but this prevents multicast traffic to be forwarded as pim cannot be enabled on SVI with disabled igmp snooping for respective vlan. Workarounds: None |

|
Headline: tahoe0 brought down resulting in inband connectivity failure Symptoms: - In releases prior to 9.3.x:tahoe0 interfaces go down or not pass traffic rendering the switch unresponsive. One or more software components can fail such as diagnostic modules, L2ACL diagnostics, loopback test, kernel errors etc.- In releases after 9.3.x:the switch reloads due to existing GOLD enhancements that can detect L2ACL diag failure and resets it. Workarounds: If the device hangs, instead of crashing on its own: reload the device to clear the issue. |

Workarounds: Recovery will be to reload the box. |

Headline: Single frame may not trigger MAC learn, causing prolonged post-routed packet drops Symptoms: Learning of MAC addresses may be delayed when a burst of frames triggering MAC learned is received. Workarounds: Possible workarounds that may be considered:1. Clear ARP table (if device has the SVI) - clearing ARP table manually will trigger re-ARP which should help populating MAC table.2. Trigger end hosts to send some frames, eg: * configure IP SLA on the switch to test connectivity to host, * ping broadcast IP, |

Headline: Interfaces in Warp SPAN destination group do not go down when link fails Symptoms: A physical interface associated with a Warp SPAN destination group on a Nexus 3548 switch may not transition into a down/down state when the link connected to the physical interface fails down (such as due to the remote station bringing the link down by not transmitting signal, a cable or transceiver being removed from the interface, etc.) Workarounds: Administratively flapping the affected physical interface with the "shutdown" and "no shutdown" interface configuration commands may resolve this issue. An example of this is shown here.<pre>switch# |
