Cisco Cisco ONS 15600 Multiservice Switching Platform (MSSP)

The following caveats were resolved in Release 7.0.x.

A new command to set a card's ESM Admin State was added to CTS for MFG testing requirements given 
it was not added in Maverick when the ESM feature was originally developed.

You can have no more than 113 DCC links in one area ID. For example, with 128 DCC Links provisioned 
within one area ID, 14 DCC links gray out in CTC. To avoid this issue divide the 128 DCCs into multiple 
area IDs (at least two). This issue is resolved in Release 7.0.

After restoring a previously backed up database, the restoral of the PM history database is not 
time-based, but rather, position-based. The PM history database is stored or retrieved to or from 
position-dependent time slots from the present PM period. Thus, PM history backed up 24 hours prior 
to the restore will show the PM history without acknowledging the missing day. This issue is resolved 
in Release 7.0.

Rarely, when an ASAP card is participating in a DCC tunnel, and working and protect spans both fail, 
the ASAP card might stop responding, sometimes followed by a reset. When this occurs there is no 
resulting traffic loss, and protection switching continues to function. To recover ASAP card 
responsiveness a soft reset of the card might be necessary. This issue is resolved in Release 7.0.

When the first and second ports of a PIM are provisioned as GIGE and, at a minimum, the second port 
is in a circuit, or, when the third and fourth ports of a PIM are provisioned as GIGE and, at a minimum, 
the fourth port is in a circuit, packets might be dropped on a soft reset of the associated ASAP card. To 
prevent this, avoid provisioning a GIGE port next to another GIGE port. This issue is resolved in 
Releases 6.1 and 7.0.
