Release Notes for Cisco ONS 15454 Release 7.0.2
OL-11368-01
Caveats
CSCdy10030
CVs are not positively adjusted after exiting a UAS state. When a transition has been made from counting
UAS, at least 10 seconds of non-SES must be counted to exit UAS. When this event occurs, Telcordia
GR-253 specifies that CVs that occurred during this time be counted, but they are not. There are no plans
to resolve this issue at this time.
CSCdy11012
When the topology host is connected to multiple OSPF areas, but CTC is launched on a node that is
connected to fewer areas, the topology host appears in CTC, and all nodes appear in the network view,
but some nodes remain disconnected. This can occur when the CTC host does not have routing
information to connect to the disconnected nodes. (This can happen, for example, if automatic host
detection was used to connect the CTC workstation to the initial node.)
CTC will be able to contact the topology host to learn about all the nodes in all the OSPF areas, but will
be unable to contact any nodes that are not in the OSPF areas used by the launch node. Therefore, some
nodes will remain disconnected in the CTC network view.
To work around this issue, if no firewall enabled, then the network configuration of the CTC host can be
changed to allow CTC to see all nodes in the network. The launch node must be on its own subnet to
prevent network partitioning, and craft access must not be enabled. The CTC host must be provisioned
with an address on the same subnet as the initial node (but this address must not conflict with any other
node in the network), and with the default gateway of the initial node. CTC will now be able to contact
all nodes in the network.
If a firewall is enabled on any node in the network, then CTC will be unable to contact nodes outside of
the initial OSPF areas. This issue will not be resolved.
NE Defaults
The following caveats apply for NE defaults when managing older, pre-Release 4.5 nodes.
• OC12-4 allows provisioning of PJStsMon from 0 to 48. The workaround is to limit provisioning to
between Off and 1 to 12 only.
• CTC displays “PJStsMon=off” in the standard provisioning pane when provisioning PJStsMon off;
however, TL1 and the NE Defaults editor both display 0 for this same condition.
• If you only make changes to a single default in the NE defaults editor, you must click on another
default or column before the Apply button becomes functional.
ONS 15454 Conducted Emissions Kit
If you are deploying the Cisco ONS 15454 within a European Union country that requires compliance
with the EN300-386-TC requirements for Conducted Emissions, you must obtain and install the Cisco
ONS 15454 Conducted Emissions kit (15454-EMEA-KIT) in order to comply with this standard.
CSCdv10824: Netscape Plugins Directory
If you use CTC, JRE, and the Netscape browser with a Microsoft Windows platform, you must ensure
that any new installation of Netscape uses the same Netscape directory as the previous installation did,
if such an installation existed. If you install Netscape using a different path for the plugins directory, you
will need to reinstall JRE so that it can detect the new directory.
