About Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers


Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers are Cisco routers deployed as managed service
provide routers, enterprise edge routers, and service provider edge routers. These routers use an
innovative and powerful hardware processor technology known as the Cisco QuantumFlow Processor.
Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers run the Cisco IOS XE software and introduce a
distributed software architecture that moves many operating system responsibilities out of the IOS
process. In this architecture, Cisco IOS, which was previously responsible for almost all of the internal
software processes, now runs as one of many Cisco IOS XE processes while allowing other Cisco IOS
XE processes to share responsibility for running the router.
Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers Release 3.8.0S have several new software
features. For details on the new Cisco ASR 1002-X Router, Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation
Services Routers 100-Gbps Embedded Services Processor, and the new features, see the New Software
Features in Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers Release 3.8S, page 2.
New hardware support and several new software features were introduced as part of the Cisco ASR 1000
Series Aggregation Services Routers Release 3.7.1. For details on the new Cisco ASR 1002-X Router,
Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers 100-Gbps Embedded Services Processor, and the
new features, see the New and Changed Information, page 1.
The Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers consists of the following routers:

Cisco Systems, Inc.


www.cisco.com

The Cisco ASR 1001 Router is a small form factor router targeted at high-end branch offices
needing integrated services, including voice and security with high-speed connectivity (2.5 Gbps
w/optional SW license for 5 Gbps). It is designed with integrated Cisco ASR1000-RP, Cisco
ASR1000-SIP, and Cisco ASR1000-ESP, with Nitrox complex providing hardware based encryption
and decryption. Input/output options include half-height SPA, 4x1GE built-in ports, and
factory-installed integrated daughtercard (IDC) with different options.

The Cisco ASR 1002 Router is a 3-SPA, 2-rack-unit (RU) chassis with integrated Route Processor
(RP), Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers Shared Port Adapter Interface
Processor (SIP), and four Gigabit Ethernet ports built in.

The Cisco ASR 1002-F Router supports the same features and components as the Cisco ASR 1002
Router and supports 2.5 Gbps bandwidth limit with a single half height SPA. In addition, the Cisco
ASR 1002-F Router has an integrated 4x1GE built-in ports and 2.5 GB of fixed system bandwidth.

The Cisco ASR 1002-X Router is a 3-SPA, 2-RU chassis. The embedded services processor and
route processor are integrated into the chassis. There are 6 small form factor pluggable (SFP)
Gigabit Ethernet ports. The router provides a forwarding bandwidth of up to 36 Gbps.

The Cisco ASR 1004 Router is an 8-SPA, 4-RU chassis with one ESP slot, one RP slot, and two SIP
slots.

The Cisco ASR 1006 Router is a 12-SPA, 6-RU, hardware-redundant chassis with two ESP slots,
two RP slots, and three SIP slots. The platform offers RP and ESP hardware redundancy, Cisco
Nonstop Forwarding (NSF), In-Service Software Upgrade (ISSU), and future RP hardware
upgrades.

The Cisco ASR 1013 Router is a 24-SPA, 13-RU, hardware-redundant chassis with two ESP slots,
two RP slots, and six SIP slots. The platform offers full RP hardware redundancy, Cisco Nonstop
Forwarding (NSF), In-Service Software Upgrade (ISSU), and future RP hardware upgrades and
services upgrades.

For the single-RP Cisco ASR 1000 Router platforms, Cisco ASR 1001, Cisco ASR 1002, Cisco ASR
1002-F, Cisco ASR 1002-X and Cisco ASR 1004, the RP has a dual Cisco IOS software option that
allows these routers to use Cisco IOS software redundancy, Cisco high-availability features, and
Nonstop Forwarding (NSF). Single-route-processor Cisco ASR 1000 platforms do not support ISSU
upgrade or downgrade. Instead sub-package software upgrade is supported only if the router is running
in sub-package mode.
The Cisco ASR 1006 Router supports fully redundant RPs that allow for full RP hardware redundancy,
NSF, ISSU, and future RP service upgrades.
The Cisco ASR 1013 Router extends the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers to a chassis that can hold six
SIPs and provides superslots (more height and power) for the route processors and embedded services
processors.

Note

Software redundancy is not supported on the Cisco ASR 1006 Router and the Cisco ASR 1013 Router.

Transition from Cisco IOS XE Release 2.6 to Cisco IOS XE Release 3.1S

In July 2010, the Cisco IOS XE software moved from Cisco IOS XE Release 2.6 to Cisco IOS
XE Release 3.1S to introduce new hardware (Cisco ASR1000-ESP40, Cisco ASR1000-SIP40, and
Cisco ASR 1013 Router) and an enhanced Cisco IOS Release 15.0(1)S software that runs on improved
componentized code for Cisco IOS features.
One of the key features of the Cisco IOS XE 3.1S software was support for dual Cisco IOS software
consolidated packages in a single RP for software redundancy in the 2-RU and 4-RU chassis systems
(The dual IOS support was extended to ASR1001). The dual Cisco IOS consolidated packages can
consist of the same software consolidated packages for backup or different software consolidated
packages for resilient upgrade.
The Cisco IOS XE release numbering scheme was modified by adding the suffix S to the release number
to denote the release branch that differentiate the different products using the Cisco IOS XE release.
The underlying Cisco IOS software numbering scheme for the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers changed
from 12.2(33)XNx to 15.0(1)S. This change was aimed at simpler numbering for new feature releases
(the number in parenthesis) and rebuilds.
Cisco IOS Release 15S aggregates feature inheritance from Cisco IOS Release 12.2SR.The 15.x(x)Sx
releases will continue to be time-based and time-synchronized with the Cisco IOS XE releases.
The Cisco IOS XE 3S releases inherit all the Cisco IOS XE Release 2 features that were released prior
to the introduction of Cisco IOS XE Release 3.1.0S, with a few exceptions. For information about
inherited features, see Release Notes for Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers for Cisco
IOS XE Release 2.

System Requirements for Cisco ASR 1000 Series


Aggregation Services Routers
The following sections describe the system requirements for Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation
Services Routers:

Software Packaging, page 1

Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers Software Package Compatibility for ISSU,
page 4

Hardware Supported, page 32

ROMmon Release Requirements, page 32

Determining the Release Number of the Installed Software, page 38

Upgrading to a New Software Release, page 43

Software Packaging
Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers run Cisco IOS XE 3S and use a software
packaging model that consists of the following components:

Consolidated packages

Individual software subpackages within a consolidated package

Optional software subpackages outside the consolidated packages

Each consolidated package contains a collection of individual software subpackages. Each individual
software subpackage is an individual software file that controls a different element or elements of the
router. Some individual subpackages may be installed per element, for example, per SPA.

Note

The subpackage functionality is intended for both upgrade and field support. However, not all
combinations of subpackages are supported.
Each individual software subpackage can be upgraded individually, or all individual software
subpackages for a specific Cisco IOS XE 3S consolidated package can be upgraded as part of a complete
Cisco IOS XE 3S consolidated package upgrade.

Cisco Systems, Inc.


www.cisco.com

Software Packaging

Importantly, IOS (the RPIOS individual software subpackage) is considered one of the individual
software subpackages that makes up the complete Cisco IOS XE 3S consolidated package.
The following are the individual software subpackages within a consolidated package:

Route Processor
RPBase: Provides the RP operating system.
RPControl: Provides the control plane processes that interface between Cisco IOS software and

the rest of the platform.


RPIOS: Provides the Cisco IOS software kernel, which is where Cisco IOS software features

are stored and run. Each consolidated image variant has a different RPIOS subpackage:
RPIOS-ipbase, RPIOS-ipbasek9, RPIOS-advipservices, RPIOS-advipservicesk9,
RPIOS-adventservices, and RPIOS-adventservicesk9.

The RPIOS-advipservices and RPIOS-adventservices subpackages are available from Cisco IOS
XE Release 2.2.1 onward. These two subpackages are not available with Cisco IOS XE Release
2.1.2 and earlier releases.

Note

RPAccess: Provides components to manage enhanced router access functionality.

ESP
ESPBase: Provides the ESP operating system and control processes, and the Cisco

QuantumFlow Processor client, driver, and ucode.

SIP
SIPBase: Provides the SIP operating system and control processes
SIPSPA: Provides the SPA drivers and the associated field-programmable device (FPD) images

(SPA FPGA images)


A Cisco IOS XE 3S consolidated package allows users to upgrade all the individual software
subpackages on a router with a single Cisco IOS XE 3S image download. The Cisco IOS XE 3S
consolidated packages that are available vary based on the RP (RP1 or RP2) installed in the system and
the Cisco IOS XE 3S release.
The following are the RP1 consolidated packages:

Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers RP1 IP BASE W/O CRYPTO

Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers RP1 IP BASE

Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers RP1 ADVANCED IP SERVICES

Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers RP1 ADVANCED IP SERVICES W/O
CRYPTO

Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers RP1 ADVANCED ENTERPRISE SERVICES

Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers RP1 ADVANCED ENTERPRISE SERVICES
W/O CRYPTO

The following are the RP2 consolidated packages:

The individual software subpackages within the consolidated packages cannot be downloaded from
cisco.com; only the Cisco IOS XE S consolidated packages and optional subpackages can be
downloaded. Users who want to run the router using individual software subpackages must first
download the consolidated package from cisco.com and extract the individual software subpackages
from the consolidated package.
In addition to the individual software subpackages within a consolidated package, optional software
subpackages that are not part of a consolidated package are available. Optional software subpackages
can be downloaded separately from cisco.com; their installation is similar to the installation of an
individual software subpackage using a provisioning file. The optional subpackage must be located in
the same directory with the provisioning file and the other individual subpackage files. The optional
software subpackages that are available vary based on the RP installed in the system: RP1 or RP2:

For RP1, the optional software subpackage available is the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation
Services Routers RP1 WebEx Node (asr1000rp1-sipspawmak9.version.pkg)

For RP2, the optional software subpackage available is the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation
Services Routers RP2 WebEx Node (asr1000rp2-sipspawmak9.version.pkg)

Note

The Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers RP1 WebEx Node and Cisco ASR 1000
Series Aggregation Services Routers RP2 WebEx Node optional software subpackages are available
only from Cisco IOS XE Release 2.4.0 onward and are supported only in conjunction with a related
RP-based Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers RPx IP BASE, Cisco ASR 1000 Series
Aggregation Services Routers RPx ADVANCED IP SERVICES, or Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation
Services Routers RPx ADVANCED ENTERPRISE SERVICES consolidated package. These optional
software subpackages are not supported with earlier Cisco IOS XE releases or with any of the
non-CRYPTO consolidated packages.

Note

ISSU operation on the Cisco ASR 1002 Router, Cisco ASR 1002-X Router and Cisco ASR 1004 Router
requires the router to be operating in subpackage mode.

Note

USB (or any other removable media) cannot be used to boot the system in the subpackage mode.
For more information about the advantages and disadvantages of running individual subpackages or a
complete Cisco IOS XE 3S consolidated package, and the process of extracting the individual
subpackages, see Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Router Software Configuration Guide at
the following location:

OL-26698-16

Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers Software Package Compatibility for ISSU

Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers Software


Package Compatibility for ISSU
Cisco IOS XE Release 3.1S is an ISSU break release. ISSU upgrade and subpackage software upgrade
from Cisco IOS XE Release 2.x to Cisco IOS XE Release 3.xS, including Release 3.1S, is not supported.
ISSU downgrade from Cisco IOS XE Release 3.xS, including Release 3.1S to Release 2.x, is not
supported either.
Support for ISSU upgrade and subpackage software upgrade has been resumed from Cisco IOS XE
Release 3.1S onward. Therefore, rebuilds and releases after Cisco IOS XE Release 3.1S will support
ISSU and software upgrade and downgrade, based on the ISSU compatibility matrix tables. For example,
ISSU upgrade and downgrade between Cisco IOS XE Release 3.1.0S (15.0(1)S) to Cisco IOS XE
Release 3.xS are supported.
For information about Cisco IOS XE 2.x releases that support ISSU and software upgrade and
downgrade, based on the ISSU compatibility matrix tables in Cisco IOS XE Release 2, see the "Cisco
IOS XE Release Compatibility Tables" section in Release Notes for Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation
Services Routers for Cisco IOS XE Release 2.

Note

Cisco IOS XE software compatibility is supported only between images that are of the same type, for
example, advipservicesk9 to advipservicesk9, adventerprisek9 to adventerprisek9, and so on.
Cross-image-type upgrades or installations are not supported in the ISSU process. For example, you
cannot upgrade ipbase to advipservicesk9 or advipservices to advipservicesk9.

Fields in the ISSU Compatibility Tables


In these ISSU compatibility tables, the following information is provided:

C (SSO)
A Cisco IOS XE release stating C for all supported SSO-capable features is fully compatible for
upgrades using ISSU but not explicitly tested, even if some of the SSO-capable features are not
ISSU capable. Two different versions of the software are denoted as supporting SSO if they are able
to reach an SSO state when run simultaneously, regardless of the impact on specific features.

C&T (SSO Tested)


A Cisco IOS XE release stating C&T indicates that the two releases are fully compatible and
tested, supported as interoperable, and will retain state across a switchover. ISSU upgrades between
the releases are supported.

The tables in the following sections give the ISSU compatibility details of Cisco IOS XE software
releases from Release 3.1S onward:

1. From Release 3.2.1, the recommended approach for installing the IPv6 Per User ACL feature is the consolidated package upgrade.
2. If the forwarding processor is running Cisco IOS XE Release 3.2.0 and the route processor is running Cisco IOS XE Release 3.3.0,
the SSH server fails during the ISSU process. In addition, broadband traffic is dropped on the standby RP while an ISSU upgrade
from Cisco IOS XE Release 3.2.0 or Release 3.2.1 to 3.3.0 is in progress. L2TPv3 traffic is lost and cannot be recovered after the
ISSU is completed. See CSCtl95778 for more information about an ISSU upgrade process from Cisco IOS XE Release 3.2.0 to
Release 3.3.0.
3. Because of the issue described in CSCtn71898, direct ISSU upgrade from Release 3.2.1 to Release 3.3.0 is not supported. The
recommended approach is to first upgrade from Release 3.2.1 to Release 3.2.2 and then upgrade to Release 3.3.0.

RP Memory Recommendations
The Cisco IOS XE 3S images and packages that are available vary based on the RP (either RP1 or RP2)
installed in the system:

Table 11 describes the RP1 consolidated package images, their individual software subpackage
contents, and their memory recommendations.

Table 12 describes the RP1 optional subpackage images and their memory recommendations.

Table 13 describes the RP2 consolidated package images, their individual software subpackage
contents, and their memory recommendations.

Table 14 describes the RP2 optional subpackage images and their memory recommendations.

Each Cisco IOS XE 3S image also contains two provisioning files:


asr1000rpx-packages.image.version.conf and packages.conf. A provisioning file is used for booting only
in scenarios where individual modules are extracted from the Cisco IOS XE 3.1S image and then used
to run the router. Any one of the provisioning files can be used.

Cisco Systems, Inc.


www.cisco.com

Limitations and Restrictions in Release 3.7.0

Limitations and Restrictions in Release 3.7.0


General Limitations

RF billing and Lawful Interception do not work together.


DMVPN Limitations

Cisco ASR 1000 devices does not support the ip nhrp server-only command used to configure an
interface to operate in Next Hop Resolution Protocol (NHRP) server-only mode.
In a phase 2 deployment, NHRP server-only mode configured on one spoke stops all traffic from the
configured spoke to other spokes.
In a phase 3 deployment, NHRP server-only mode configured on one spoke stops the shortcut tunnel
from the configured spoke to other spokes and consequently all traffic from the configured spoke to other
spokes have to be forwarded by Hub.
We recommend that you do not use the ip nhrp server-only command on Cisco ASR 1000 devices.
MPLS over IPv6 GRE Tunnel is not supported

The mpls ip command can be configured on the IPv6 GRE Tunnel, but it does not take effect.

Limitations and Restrictions in Release 3.6.0


There are no new limitations or restrictions in Release 3.6.0.

PKI - New cert attributes


The PKI New Cert Attributes feature provides the following enhancements to Public Key Infrastructure
(PKI):

NVRAM Exhaustion

Fresh Enrollment

NVRAM Exhaustion

Certificates and certificate revocation lists (CRLs) are used by devices when a certificate authority (CA)
is used. Certificates and CRLs can be stored in NVRAM or an external database. If an external database
is used to store certificates, there is no need to delete the expired certificates. Each certificate and CRL
uses a moderate amount of memory. The following are stored in NVRAM:

CA certificates and CRLs

Certificates issued by CA server to clients

When a client renews its certificate, the new certificate, along with old certificates, is stored in NVRAM.
This decreases the NVRAM space. As more certificates are stored, the NVRAM space is exhausted and
this brings down the CA server, which then is unable to retrieve certificates. Manual intervention is
required to restore space in NVRAM and bring the CA server up again.
To avoid NVRAM space exhaustion and manual intervention to bring up the CA server, a new timer
triggers the database cleanup event. The timer starts when the first certificate is issued, and the timer
interval is based on the client certificate life time configuration in the CA server. The timer scans the
database and removes expired certificates that are not required, thereby preventing the CA server from
going down because of NVRAM exhaustion. The timer information is displayed in the output from the
show crypto pki timer command. Note that the timer applies only when certificates are stored in
NVRAM and the database level is set to complete. However, when NVRAM is used to store
certificates and the database level is configured with minimum or names, there is no need to delete the
expired certificates because the certificates do not consume much space.
The certificates in the CA server can also be deleted by using the no crypto pki server name command.
the following warning appears, when you configure this command:
Device(config)# no crypto pki server ABC-CA
CA certificate, Keypair, CRL and database files will be deleted.
[yes/no]:

Do you wish to continue?

If yes is entered, all files are removed from the database.


For more information on commands, see the following documents:
Cisco IOS Security Command Reference: Commands A to C
Cisco IOS Security Command Reference: Commands S to Z
Fresh Enrollment

The auto-enroll feature helps the device to renew the router certificate when it expires. Sometimes, the
router certificate may not be enrolled if the CA server is not reachable or if the client is shut down. The
back off mechanism prevents the device from having an expired certificate by renewing the certificates.
The certificates are renewed by continuous contact with the CA server at specific intervals by using the
retry count and retry period keywords in the enrollment command.
When a device certificate expires, the back off mechanism does the following:

Issues a fresh enrollment request and starts the default back off mechanism or follow the configured
retry counts. This step is repeated to obtain a fresh certificate.

New Features in and Important Notes About Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers Release 3.10S

OL-26698-14

New and Changed Information

The enrollment request does not contain expired certificate keys, if the trustpoint is configured with
the regenerate command. The regenerate command assigns new keys. To issue an enrollment request
with the expired certificate keys, do not specify the regenerate command.

The following example shows how to configure the retry count and period keywords:
Device(config)# no crypto pki server ABC-CA
redundancy
enrollment retry count 10
enrollment retry period 1
enrollment url http://ABC_CA:80
revocation-check crl
auto-enroll 70
hash sha1
end

The default retry count is 10. The following table provides information when the enrollment does not
happen:
Retry

Timeout

1 minute

1 minute

2 minutes

5 minutes

10 minutes

20 minutes

40 minutes

60 minutes

90 minutes

10

120 minutes

After the default retry count, the enrollment request is deleted. If the certificate expires, the 5-second
interval is employed to reach the CA.

RFC4303 IP Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) dummy packet for traffic flow confidentiality (TFC)
The RFC 4303 IP Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) dummy packet for traffic flow confidentiality
(TFC) feature provides RFC 4303 support in Cisco software. RFC 4303 describes two methods to hide
the characteristics of traffic that is passing through an IPsec flow. The first method involves adding extra
padding beyond the allowed maximum of 255 bytes after the payload data when using the Encapsulating
Security Payload (ESP) protocol for traffic confidentiality. The second method involves adding extra
"dummy" packets to the traffic flow. The generation and transmission of dummy packets is implemented
in Cisco software through the RFC4303 IP Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) dummy packet for
traffic flow confidentiality (TFC) feature. A dummy packet is designated by setting the next header field
in the ESP packet to a value of 59. The dummy packets are discarded when the packets are received by
the device. The standard ESP header and trailer fields are present in a dummy packet. The payload (plain
text) in the dummy packet contains zero which becomes random data after encryption. You can specify
the time interval at which to generate the dummy packets. You can enable generating dummy packets
globally using the crypto ipsec security-association dummy command or you can enable dummy packets
for a crypto map using the set security-association dummy command. When enabled for a crypto map,
dummy packets are enabled for all flows that are created using the crypto map.

Support for Algorithms in the Suite B Specification for IPSec by the On-Board Crypto Engine in Cisco
ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers
The IPSec algorithms required by Suite B are now supported by the hardware crypto engine on the Cisco
ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers that have embedded hardware-accelerated VPN
encryption.
Suite B requirements comprise four user interface suites of cryptographic algorithms for use with IKE
and IPsec, which are described in RFC 6379 and RFC 6380 respectively. Each suite consists of an
encryption algorithm, a digital signature algorithm, a key agreement algorithm, and a hash or message
digest algorithm.
Suite B provides a comprehensive security enhancement for Cisco IPsec VPNs, and allows additional
security for large-scale deployments. Suite B is the recommended solution for organizations requiring
advanced encryption security for the wide-area network (WAN) between remote sites.

ASR1000 IPSec Debuggability Enhancement - Phase I


The IOS-XE IPSec Debuggability Enhancements in IPsec VPN reduces the overall debugging effort for
customers by modifying the debug platform hardware qfp active feature (IPsec) command and
merging the output of several show commands into the output of the following commands that were
modified for this feature: show crypto engine accelerator statistic, show crypto ipsec sa, show crypto
ruleset, and show tech-support ipsec.
For more information, refer to the Cisco IOS Security Command Reference: Commands S to Z
(http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios-xml/ios/security/s1/sec-s1-cr-book.html), and Cisco IOS Debug

ISIS BFD TLV


The IS-IS Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) Tag Length Value (TLV) feature provides a faster
method to detect a loss of an IS-IS adjacency. Before, when an IS-IS adjacency reached the UP state (and
therefore could be used for forwarding), a BFD session needed to be established with that neighbor. Now,
a BFD session is maintained as long as the hello holddown timer for the neighbor does not expire, which
is new for BFD TLV. The BFD session is only deleted if the neighbor hello times out. If BFD signals to
IS-IS that a session has gone DOWN, the adjacency associated with that session will transition to DOWN
state. Once the BFD session goes back UP, the adjacency state can transition back to an UP state. For a
given IS-IS topology, IS-IS determines if BFD is usable for a given neighbor on that topology. BFD is
not usable when BFD is enabled on both sides and the BFD session is down. When there are multiple
BFD sessions enabled for different address families, such as IPv4 and IPv6, if BFD is not usable for any

OL-26698-16

Important Notes

address family, then BFD is consider not usable for the entire adjacency on that topology. For example,
if both IPv4 and IPv6 BFD are enabled for single topology, if either the IPv4 BFD session is down or
IPv6 BFD session is down, the neighbor state will be set to DOWN state. If BFD is not enabled for a
given address family, then BFD is considered usable for that address family. For single topology mode,
the neighbor state is down when either the IPv4 or IPv6 BFD session is not BFD usable, that is, if BFD
is enabled on both sides and the BFD session is DOWN. If BFD is not enabled on either side, BFD will
be set to TRUE. For multi-topology mode, IS-IS adjacency will be in UP state as long as any topology
is UP . However, the neighbor for the topology where BFD is consider not usable is considered down for
that specific topology. For example, if both IPv4 and IPv6 BFD are enabled, and the IPv4 session is
DOWN and IPv6 session is UP, then the IS-IS adjacency is still UP. In this case, the IPv4 neighbor is
considered DOWN and ipv6 neighbor is considered UP.

Zone-Based Policy Firewall IPv6 Support


The zone-based policy firewall provides advanced traffic filtering or inspection of IPv4 and IPv6
packets. In Cisco IOS XE Release 3.6S and later releases, both IPv4 and IPv6 packet inspection are
enabled by default. If you need to bypass the IPv6 packet inspection, you need to configure the pass
action. The pass action passes the traffic from one zone to another. When the pass action is configured,
the firewall does not inspect the traffic; it passes the traffic. In the IPv6 firewall, you must explicitly
configure the pass action for the return traffic by defining a zone pair and a policy map with pass action.
For detailed information about the Zone-Based Policy Firewall IPv6 Support feature, see the following
Cisco document:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios-xml/ios/sec_data_zbf/configuration/xe-3s/sec-zbf-ipv6.html

Symptom: PSTN -- T1 PRI --- IOS Gateway -- SIP --- CUCM --- Agent IP Phones One-way audio
may be observed between a PSTN caller and an Agent IP phone connected via a SIP IOS Gateway
such as ISR-G2 routers. The "tx" counter in the IP leg of "show call active voice brief" command
will stop incrementing. Example : 11E4 : 446 583400ms.1 (22:38:27.944 UTC Sun Dec 9 2012)

g711ulaw TextRelay: off Transcoded: No media inactive detected:n media contrl rcvd:n/a
timestamp:n/a long duration call detected:n long duration call duration:n/a timestamp:n/a
Conditions: This problem was observed when the gateway received "a=sendonly" in the SDP
answer during Re-invite based media re-negotiation to put the call on hold. The media direction was
updated to sendrecv mode in the subsequent call resume but the Gateway never transmits any RTP
audio packets.
Workaround: Set "Duplex Streaming Enabled" service parameter in CUCM to "True". This
mitigates the problem since the "a=sendonly" media direction attribute is not sent during call hold.

CSCud60977
Symptom: CRL file is not deleted when CS server is unconfigured manually by no crypto pki
server <name>
Conditions: CS server should be run before sever is unconfigured. crypto pki server <name> no shut
Workaround: Delete CRL file manually.

CSCud61517
Symptoms: CUBE crashes during a blind-transfer scenario and when "media preference IPv6" is
configured.
Conditions: This symptom is observed when "media preference IPv6" is configured but is not seen
when "media preference IPv4" is configured.
Workaround: Configure "media preference IPv4".

CSCud62138
Symptoms: DTMF path confirmation fails with "MidCall failure using invalid c=FQDN with
PRACK"
Conditions: This symptom is observed when a router loaded with
c2900-universalk9-mz.SSA.153-1.8.T
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCud62864
Symptoms: When the Mid-call Re-INVITE consumption feature is active, CUBE consumes
Re-INVITE which should change the media state from "sendonly" to "sendrcv". This results in a one
way or no way audio on the call.
Conditions: This symptom is observed when the CUBE Mid-call Re-INVITE consumption feature
is enabled.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCud63146
Symptoms: In a GETVPN scenario, the GM fails to install policies on reload. A crypto map is
applied on ethernet 0/0 while the local address of the crypto map is configured with ethernet 0/1.1
Conditions: This symptom is observed after a reload. The GM fails to install policies from the key
server.
Workaround: Remove the crypto map configuration on the interface and reapply.

CSCud64870
Symptom: DMVPN hub ASR1004 may crash after the fetching CRL from MS CRL server.
Conditions: The crash occurs when there are 5 CDPs for the hub router to fetch the CRL. Since there
are multiple CDPs, the hub router fetches the CRL in a parallel way, which leads to a crash under
a timing issue.
Workaround: Setting up one CDP instead of multiple CDPs will greatly reduce the timing condition
that leads to the crash.

CSCud65119
Symptoms: A crash may occur while using GETVPN with fragmented IPv6 traffic.
Conditions: This symptom is observed when IPv6 IPsec is used. This issue is triggered by
fragmented IPv6 packets.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCud67653
Symptom: ASR1001 (1RU) builtin 4x1GE spa MIB poll for entSensorStatus returns a value of 3
which is "nonoperational" when CLI sensor reports no reading.
Conditions: This bug is specific to 1RU (ASR1001) builtin spa 4X1GE. This symptom is observed
when no reading is seen from output of show hw-module subslot all sensors
Workaround: Possibly filter entSensorStatus value within customer NMS application.

CSCud67779
Symptoms: One-way audio is observed when a call goes through BACD and comes over SIP trunk.
Conditions: This symptom is observed when a call comes through SIP trunk and is connected to an

CSCud78362
Symptoms: GW starts to drop calls randomly if you increase simultaneous calls beyond 350.
Conditions: This symptom is observed if 350 calls are connected on GW, some doing digit
collection using Cisco ASR(MRCPv2) and some playing media. Increasing a few more calls triggers
the issue of call drops and total calls stay at only 350.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCud83835
Symptoms: An IPsec VPN tunnel fails to be established. The debug crypto ipsec command shows
no output when attempting to bring up the tunnel.
Conditions: This symptom is observed when all of the following conditions are met:
The crypto map is configured on a Virtual-Template interface.
This Virtual-Template interface is configured with "ip address negotiated".
The tunnel is initiated locally (in other words, if the tunnel is initiated by the peer, it comes up

correctly).
Workaround: Downgrade to Cisco IOS Release 15.2(2)T3 or earlier releases or always initiate the
VPN tunnel from the peer.

CSCud85342
Symptom: IKE responder fails to accept phase 1 proposal with rsa-sig authentication with public
RSA keys and no trustpoints configured
Conditions: An authentication mechanism of rsa-sig is configured and rsa-encr cannot be used due
to hardware/software limitations
Workaround: Use rsa-encr if supported, otherwise switch to using actual certificates with trustpoint
or pre-shared keys.

CSCud86240
Symptoms: The Cisco ASR 1000 ESP crashes (ucode core file created) when compressed packets
are sent on a Multilink PPP interface using the Cisco IOS XE 3.5 Release and earlier Cisco ASR
1000 software images. On Cisco IOS XE 3.6 Release and later on Cisco ASR 1000 software images
a crash does not occur, but routed traffic on configured interfaces are not forwarded. However,
local traffic between the peer routers may still be forwarded. In all releases, routed traffic will be
dropped on any other interfaces (for example, PPP, Multilink PPP, HDLC, and so on.) configured
for this mode of compression.
Conditions: This symptom is observed if the legacy IOS compression feature compress [mppc | stac
| predictor] is configured on any interface (for example, PPP, Multilink PPP, HDLC, and so on.).
If this feature is configured on a Multilink PPP interface then the ESP crash can be encountered if
using an Cisco IOS XE 3.5 Release and an earlier Cisco ASR 1000 software image.
Workaround: Remove the compress [mppc | stac | predictor] feature configuration from all
interfaces as this functionality is not supported on the Cisco ASR 1000 router. The software fix
associated with this bug report will be removing this configuration option from the Cisco ASR 1000
router.

CSCud87915
Symptom: EzVPN client cannot access the Internet over the VPN. Access to Hub internal resources

Symptom: A Cisco ASR repeatedly produces a "no-input" event despite inputs provided by caller.
Conditions: This symptom is observed when IOS VXML GW running Cisco IOS Release 15.x. Problem seems to be triggered by a "no-match' event prior to providing expected responses.
Debugs show the following order of events:
1. GW instructs TTS server to say "please say yes or no, or press digits 1 or two".
2. GW instructs ASR to recognize.
3. Customer says "one two three four" and the GW forwards this audio to the ASR.
4. ASR instructs GW "no-match".
5. GW instructs TTS server to say "no match event received please try again".
6. GW instructs ASR to recognize.
7. Customer says "yes", but the GW does not forward the RTP containing "yes" to the ASR server.
8. GW receives "no-input" event from ASR as a result of no RTP containing speech being sent to
ASR.
9. GW instructs TTS server to say "no input event received please try again".
Steps 6 through 9 repeat until the customer hangs up the call.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCue53207
Symptom: A record that contains certain derived fields (listed below) may be punted incorrectly to
the route processor (RP) and lost.
Conditions: This symptom is observed when Records can collect ?derived? fields; calculating
derived fields is dependent on the values of other fields. The fields listed below are incorrectly
defined as derived and dependent on other fields. When a record contains one of these fields and
does not include its dependent fields, the record is punted to the route processor (RP) to complete
the record processing. Punting these records might lead to record loss.
Workaround: When configuring a monitor to collect one of the fields listed below, collect each of
the dependent fields also. The list indicates the dependencies:
1. 'connection delay application sum' is dependent on: connection delay response to-server sum
connection delay network to-server sum connection server response sum
2. 'connection delay application min' is dependent on: connection delay response to-server min

Symptom: On an ASR1K the "clock timezone" command is meant to be used as follows: clock
timezone zone hours-offset [minutes-offset] where "zone" is a text field e.g. "EDT", "PST", and
hours-offset and minutes-offset are integers. If the hours-offset field is set to 0 (which can occur
either intentionally or in some cases due to a typo) some of the ASR1K internal timers may be
misconfigured which could lead to incorrect operations related to system time.
Conditions: One way to cause this to happen (essentially a typo) is to configure clock timezone
EST-5 0 0 where one really meant to type clock timezone EST -5 0

CSCug63013
Symptom: A DMVPN spoke router running 15.2(4)M3 and configured for Dual Hub - Dual DMVPN
failover will fail to forward multicast traffic for EIGRP neighbor forming after failing from primary
to backup and back to the primary. EIGRP neighbrship will fail to complete and flap on the spoke.
The hub will never show any EIGRP neighborship.
Conditions: DMVPN spoke router running 15.2(4)M3 in Dual Hub - Dual DMVPN scenario and
running dynamic routing protocol must failover and failback to the primary tunnel for this to occur.
Workaround: Removing "ip nhrp map multicast x.x.x.x y.y.y.y" and readding it resolves the
problem. The issue is not observed in 15.2(4)M1.

CSCug72547
Symptom: Static DMVPN spoke-spoke tunnel initially comes up when tunnel comes up, but if IPsec
SAs go down (cleared or are not rekeyed) then the IPsec SAs will not come backup. Data traffic that
is supposed to got directly over the spoke-spoke tunnel is forwarded over the spoke-hub-spoke path.
Conditions: Running DMVPN Phase 3 on an ASR1k as spoke routers, on both ends of the
spoke-spoke tunnel. If the IPsec SAs for the spoke-spoke tunnel are cleared either because there
was no spoke-spoke traffic for long enough for the IPsec SAs to not be rekeyed or or the idle-timer
to expire or the IPsec SAs are cleared manually.
Workaround: Have a process (like IP SLA) ping the remote spokes tunnel IP address to keep the
IPsec SAs up or to bring them back up if they happen to go down. Probably ping about every 60-120
seconds.

CSCug77212
Symptom: ASR1K CUBE RP may crash with Segmentation fault(11), Process =
CCSIP_SPI_CONTROL when sip headers are manipulated using a sip profile for 200 response
messages for KPML notify.
Conditions: Crash seems to be happening due to SIP profiles configs being wrongly applied to
Notify response (this profile was meant for 200 OK Invite response).
Workaround: Do not configure sip profiles to manipulate the headers for 200 responses.

CSCug83538
Symptoms: Static routes injected through RRI (reverse-route static) are not getting removed.
Conditions: This symptom is observed when a static crypto map that has "reverse-route static"
enabled is applied on two different interfaces with a local-address.
Workaround: Reload the Router.

Symptom: ESP crashes
Conditions: Subscriber session w/QoS over tunnel or shaped vlan.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCuh38488
Symptom: An ASR with zone-based firewall enabled may drop SIP INVITE packets with the
following drop reason:
Router#show plat hardware qfp active feature firewall drop
------------------------------------------------------------------------------Drop Reason
Packets
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- L7
inspection returns drop
1
Router#

Conditions: Application (L7) inspection for SIP must be enabled for the flow.
Workaround: Any of the following workarounds are applicable:
1) Disable the port-to-application mapping for SIP with the 'no ip port-map sip port udp 5060'
command. This prevents ZBF from treating UDP/5060 as SIP. Instead, it is treated as simple UDP.
2) Use the 'pass' action in both directions instead of 'inspect'. This disables all inspection (even L4)
for the traffic.

Symptom: ASR1000 router may crash when users run the call-policy-set copy source XXX
destination YYY command to create a new call-policy-set.
Conditions: This symptom is observed when you enter the na-src-address-table that is configured
within the call-policy-set with na-src-address-table XXX after it the table is created by the
call-policy-set copy command.
Workaround: Instead of using call-policy-set copy source XXX destination YYY command, copy
and paste the text into config terminal to create a new call-policy-set.

CSCuh63682
Symptom: Router crash in automatic test. The trigger to the crash is the following show command:

CSCuh23859
Symptom: With Suite-B configured (i.e. esp-gcm / esp-gmac transform) on a GETVPN Key Server
(KS), Group Members (GM) will see the following un-gated error message on the console when the
KS policy ACL is changed or edited and a rekey is sent from the KS using "crypto gdoi ks rekey"...
May 31 09:56:49.906 IST: *** SERIOUS ERROR: OVERLAPPING IV RANGES DETECTED ***
When the GM receives the rekey, the policy is installed successfully. However, after this the GM
re-registers twice and then these errors are displayed.
Conditions: Suite-B is configured (i.e. esp-gcm / esp-gmac transform) on a GETVPN Key Server
(KS), the KS policy ACL is changed or edited and a rekey is sent from the KS using "crypto gdoi ks
rekey" This issue was seen with at least 50 Group Member (GM) instances using VRF-Lite on a
ASR1K GM box and no more than 30 ACE's in the KS policy ACL, however this issue should also
be seen on a ISRG2 GM box with less GM instances and less ACE's as well.
Workaround: If a Key Server (KS) policy ACL must be changed or edited while Group Members
(GM) have already registered and downloaded GETVPN Suite-B policy (i.e. esp-gcm / esp-gmac
transform), issue "crypto gdoi ks rekey replace-now" instead of "crypto gdoi ks rekey" after
changing the KS policy ACL. (NOTE: a very small amount of traffic loss may be expected) If
possible, do not change the KS policy ACL after a GETVPN network using Suite-B is up and
running.

Conditions: Change to the parent class of a session, which causes a rate update event to be performed
in the QFP hardware. At the same time, ANCP causes rate change on a VLAN shapper using mode-F
QoS. The shaper rate change causes the shaper on the VLAN to be removed and then re-applied.
Depending upon RP and FP CPU utilization, these events can be processed on the ESP as one QoS
transaction. where the sessions parent class has a rate change event and the session is also being
moved to an aggregation schedule node on the GE from the VLAN shaper schedule node. And then
the shaper is re-applied to the VLAN and the session is moved back to the VLAN shaper. This all
occurs in the same QoS transaction/commit on the ESP, causing the ESP to crash.

Conditions: Application (L7) inspection for SIP must be enabled for the flow.
Workaround: Any of the following workarounds are applicable:
Disable the port-to-application mapping for SIP with the no ip port-map sip port udp 5060

command. This prevents ZBF from treating UDP/5060 as SIP. Instead, it is treated as simple
UDP.
Use the pass action in both directions instead of inspect. This disables all inspection (even L4)

Conditions: On issuing show ip nat trans command when there are a large number of static
networks translations the ESP may reset with the above messages. The issue is caused by a
calculation dealing with the number of static network translations that are configured. It is possible
to avoid this issue by moving out of the impacted range of static network translations.
Workaround: Determine the number of static network translations:
Router# show platform hardware qfp active feature nat datapath stats | include static
net
non_extended XXXX entry_timeouts XXXX statics XXXX static net 126 hits
XXXX misses XXXX
Take the number of static network translations ("static net") and
divide it by 32, and then look at the remainder:
126/32 = 3 remainder 30
If the
remainder is 30 or 31 this issue could be encountered when the 'show ip nat
translation' is executed. To avoid this situation add or remove one or two static
network translations, for example:
ip nat inside source static network X.X.X.X
Y.Y.Y.Y /ZZ ip nat inside source static network A.A.A.A B.B.B.B /CC
The addresses
used in these two static network translations do not need to be hit by any traffic,
and do not need to be subnets that are regularly used within the network. Next verify
that the remainder is no longer 30 or 31:
Router#$show platform hardware qfp active
feature nat datapath stats | include static net
non_extended XXXX
entry_timeouts XXXX statics XXXX static net 128 hits XXXX misses XXXX
128/32 = 4
remainder 0
This can also be accomplished by removing one or two static network
translations to lower the remainder. More Info: Symptom: Hw-Sw:

Conditions: These are the result of incorrect fragmented packet processing internally, specifically
as it relates to UDP traffic.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCub56842
Symptoms: The router stops passing IPsec traffic after some time.
Conditions: This symptom is observed when the <CmdBold>show crypto eli<noCmdBold>
command output shows that during every IPsec P2 rekey, the active IPsec-Session count increases,
which does not correlate to the max IPsec counters displayed in SW.
Workaround: Reload the router before active sessions reach the max value. To verify, do as follows:
router# show cry eli
CryptoEngine Onboard VPN details: state = Active Capability

Symptom: Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Router may crash when customer uses
call-policy-set copy source source-address destination destination-address command to create a
new call-policy-set.
Conditions: The na-src-address-table is configured within the call-policy-set. Enter this table with
na-src-address-table XXX after it was created by call-policy-set copy command.
Workaround: instead of using call-policy-set copy source source-address destination
destination-address command, copy and paste the text into config terminal to create a new
call-policy-set.

command on ELC.
Conditions: When multiple ELC sources are configured, such as primary and secondary network
clock sources from ELC, and execute ELC shut using hw-module subslot x/y shut command, the
SPA invalid handle error message is displayed.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCuc29179
Symptom: The Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Router filters out the ARP requests
with its own source address. This leads to ping failure between two interfaces, which belong to
different vrf and own same IP subnet; for example, vrf v1 1.0.0.1/24 and vrf v2 1.0.0.2/24.
Conditions: The gigabit ethernet interface (gig0/0/0) connected b2b to another interface on same
router with VRF configured on atleast one of the interfaces.
Workaround: Configure some MAC address on the gigabit ethernet interface (gig0/0/0) and then
unconfigure the MAC address.

CSCue18003
Symptom: Packets drop occur when performing a ping from an ASR 1001 console with packets of
large size (i.e. several kilobytes).
Conditions: This issue is specific to the ASR 1001 and requires a burst of data from the Control
Plane to the Forwarding Plane such that internal hardware buffers are saturated. Normal processing
continues, however, there are drops when the hardware buffer is full.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCue29351
Symptom: Caller continuously hears ringback tone while callee is able to hear the caller. Only when
the callee presses the Hold and Resume button, two-way audio is established.
Conditions: Call Flow
PSTN----(VIC2-4FXO)GWY(29XX)----H323--CM(8.6.2.23047-2)--HTTP-ECC---Phone
Issue impact cu has workaround, that is, call works when MTP is invoked; but when MTP is invoked,
the multicast MOH fails to work. Troubleshooting is performed. This issue is not seen when the call
is made directly to the phone without being routed through ECC. Using H323 Slow start or Fast start
does not make a difference.

CSCue37000
Symptom: GTP-U drops are noticed for communication that should not have been dropped.
Swisscom agrees that this might be related to some timers and pending PDP sessions that need to be
terminated. Since local tests with mobile devices are all successful, Swisscom wants and needs to
go for 24 hour test to see if the GTP-U drops really lead to a service impact for mobile users.
Conditions:
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCue40120
Symptom: Small packet performance for multicast traffic has unexpected dip with 03.07.01S on
ESP40
Conditions: A change made while optimizing performance for ESP100/FP100 and ESP200/FP200
was to use the internal recycle queue for the root of the replication tree instead of the leaves recycle
queue used for all other nodes. Unknowingly, this resulted in a big performance impact on the
ESP40.
Workaround: Small packet performance can be returned to acceptable levels by disabling MLRE
with the platform multicast lre off configuration command. The downside of disabling MLRE is
that large packet performance are reduced by almost half for large packets.

CSCue43895
Symptom: The show crypto gdoi gm dataplane counters and show crypto gdoi gm replay
commands show negative or very large counters.
Conditions: The clear crypto sa counters command is issued after the clear crypto gdoi dataplane
counters command and clear crypto gdoi replay counter command for a GETVPN or GDOI
Group Member (GM) running IOS version 15.3(2)S/T or later with the show crypto gdoi feature
long-sa-lifetime command being available.
Workaround: Do not issue the clear crypto gdoi dataplane counters, clear crypto gdoi replay
counter, and clear crypto sa counters commands simultaneously, and if counters go negative or
become very large, execute the clear crypto gdoi command to reset the Group Member (GM).

Note

GM will remove IPsec SAs and re-register, causing some traffic drop.
CSCue45131
Symptom: sVTI tunnel interface does not come up after router reboot.
Conditions: This issue happens when you reboot the router.
Workaround: Reload ESP.

CSCue57374
Symptom: QFP load spike occurs when dropping traffic via IPv6 ACL.
Conditions: IPv6 traffic is dropped with ACL.
Workaround: Configure the no ipv6 icmp unreachable command under the receiving interface.

Workaround: Not issuing show platform hardware subslot 0/3 plim command will avoid this
problem.

CSCug73476
Symptom: Customer is running a CME environment with Cisco 2901 Series Router. Once or twice
every week during high call volume, the soft key such as Transfer and End Call stops responding.
Conditions: Once phone sends EndCall soft key (0x26) to CUCME, the CUCME does not send
CallState (0x111), CloseReceiveChannel (0x106), and StopMediaTransmission (0x8B) to phone.
Therefore, the call is not terminated.
Workaround: After pressing TRANSFER soft key, do not abort the transfer by pressing the Abort
soft key.

Conditions: These type of cores can appear under various conditions. The particular CDETs only
address when this condition occurs after unconfiguring NAT PAP mode. This includes changing PAP
or BPA configuration.
Workaround: After unconfiguring PAP, it is recommended to reload the box which is more desirable
than an uncontrolled reset.

Conditions: ISSU with Subpackage MDR only. Not applicable to superpackage MDR.
Workaround: Specify elc images at the same time as sipbase and sipspa packages.

CSCug76838
Symptom: RP crashed multiple times due to SBC main process.
Conditions: UNIX-EXT-SIGNAL: Segmentation fault(11), Process = SBC main process.
Observed in 15.2(1)S version.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCug77212
Symptom: ASR1K CUBE RP may crash with Segmentation fault(11), Process =
CCSIP_SPI_CONTROL when sip headers are manipulated using a sip profile for 200 response
messages for KPML notify.
Conditions: Crash seems to be happening due to SIP profiles configs being wrongly applied to
Notify response (this profile was meant for 200 OK Invite response).
Workaround: Do not configure sip profiles to manipulate the headers for 200 responses.

CSCug78153

Symptom: BGP session with neighbor flaps.


Conditions: Occurs when BGP and WCCP configured at the same time.
Workaround: Configure deny tcp any any at the end of redirect ACL list.

CSCug84557
Symptom: CUBE SBC does not forward mid-call Re-INVITE in a glare condition.
Conditions: In a glare condition where both legs of a SIP call through the SBC and sends in
Re-INVITE within 100ms of each other. Instead of forwarding the first arriving Re-INVITE to the
other leg and then rejecting the other with a 491 Request Pending response, SBC does not forward
either of the Re-INVITE and gets into a deadlock condition leading to no audio and eventually call
tear down.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCug88265
Symptom: Memory leak in [pfr_config].
Conditions: Performance Routing (PFR) is configured on the router.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCug91447
Symptom: Taildrop in UUT.
Conditions: Perform SPA OIR in UUT configured with one multilink bundle.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCug92878
Symptom: The ESP may crash when activating and deactivating NBAR in a fast long cycle.
The ESP log (cpp_cp_F0.log) contains the following error message:
add feature to instance - feature 'STILE' already exists in instance 'GLOBAL_CFT'

Conditions: The crash is seen on version v153_2_s_xe39_throttle, when an implicit/explicit fast


automatic cycle of NBAR is activated/deactivated.
The chance of an ESP crash occuring in a common case scenario is very rare as it depends on timing.
Therefore, different platforms may exhibit different scenarios.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCug96781
Symptom: QFP crash.
Conditions: TC is used.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

Resolved CaveatsCisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers


Release 3.9.1S
This section documents the resolved issues in Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers
Release 3.9.1S.

CSCtg13667
Symptom: Packet_Too_Big (type 2, code 0) and Destination Unreachable Administratively (type 1,
code 1) is not sent back if packets are hitting MTU checking or ACL deny on egress interface.
Conditions: Issue is observed on ASR1k running 15.0(01)S code.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCts83413
Symptom: While configuring Classic Netflow to export records to a user specified VRF, the user
configuration can get out of sync or be invalid such that the QFP Processor does not have the same
VRF information as is present in the IOS configuration. Thus, the configuration is out of sync and
Netflow export does not function.
This symptom may also be observed while configuring Flexible Netflow.
Conditions: Multiple cycles of VRF configuration as well as multiple cycles of Netflow export
destinations have taken place. The IOS configuration was to export to a particular VRF (for
example: VRF "BLUE"), while the QFP processor had a configuration to export to the default VRF.
Workaround: To restore Netflow export fucntionality, unconfigure the Netflow export destination
and reconfigure it.

CSCty59423
Symptom: Memory leak at IPIP channels.
Conditions: The conditions are unknown. The following is a sample error message that appears:
Alternate Pool: None

Free: 0

Cause: No Alternate pool

Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCub79487
Symptom: Traffic flow is not fine with Fragementation.
Conditions: None.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCuc11849
Symptom: Packets of smaller lengths (less than 100 Bytes) may be dropped occasionally when a
shaper is configured.
Conditions: This issue occurs when a shaper is configured on CSR1000V and traffic consisting of
smaller packet lengths (less than 100 Bytes) are sent below the configured shape rate.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCuc31339
Symptom: An error message similar to the following appears:
R0/0: linux_iosd-image: Socket event for

Conditions: Large number of feature configurations exist.


Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCuc59979
Symptom: The ASR drops the original media stream before the mid call is acknowledged. After the
FAX negotiations fail, the ASR does not return/continue to the original media characteristics.
Conditions: Voice to Fax switchover and remote end point do not support fax, so it responds with
488. CUBE does not update call type to voice after 488.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCud19536
Symptom: A short AVC2.0 downtime is experienced after modifying the AVC2.0 configuration.
Conditions: The symptom is observed when removing the media filters on the class-map, thus
allowing more traffic to reach the monitor.
Workaround: Leave the configuration as is, or do not broaden the media filters.

CSCud29930
Symptom: A Cisco ASR1002-X with built-in SPA may record runts on its Gigabit Ethernet
interfaces when using a SFP-GE-T (copper). This issue is not seen with an SFP-GE-S (fiber).
Conditions: This issue occurs for any frame that requires Ethernet padding to be added to make it
64 Bytes.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCud34173
Symptom: Many statistics shown by the Entreprise Service Gateway crypto engine are zero and
these are not relevant to crypto engine in ISR4400. This is due to the reason that there is no separate
Hardware crypto engine on the ISR4400 platform for encrypt/decrypt operations. The Data plane
processor executes the encrypt/decrypt functions using software in addition to other feature software
execution. The Control plane has hardware support for general crypto operations (such as getting
Random number and ModExp operations).
Conditions: IPSEC is in use.
Workaround: There is no workaround to see the aggregate statistics for the encrypt/decrypt
operations performed by software in Data Plane processor.
The following counters in the output of show platform hardware crypto-device statistics display
these statistics. The remaining statistics in the output of this command (which are shown as 0) must
be ignored: PROCESSED(P)

OL-26698-16

Caveats in Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers Release 3.9.1S

Conditions: The crash happens when there are five CDPs for the hub router to fetch the CRL. Given
that there are multiple CDPs, the hub router fetches CRL in a parallel way, which then lead to a crash
under a timing issue.
Workaround: Setting up only one CDP instead of multiple CDPs avoids the timing condition which
leads to the crash.

CSCud67112
Symptom: The IPv6 traffic with nbar protocol may not be classified correctly.
Conditions: When nbar protocol is configured with IPv6.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCud67653
Symptom: ASR1001 (1RU) builtin 4x1GE spa MIB poll for entSensorStatus returns a value of 3
(nonoperational) when CLI sensor reports no reading. No reading is seen from output of show
hw-module subslot all sensors.
Conditions: This bug is specific to 1RU (ASR1001) built-in spa 4X1GE.
Workaround: Possibly, filter entSensorStatus value within customer NMS application.

CSCud70629
Symptom: Incremental memory leaks are seen at IPSec background proc.
Conditions: This symptom is observed with clear nhrp cache.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCud81272
Symptom: When receiving a huge DNS response, the DNS ALG might stop translating, with the
response tranparent to the final client.
Conditions: When one single huge response consumes all init DNS pool entry (1024) and greater.
1. Config the NAT.
2. Send dns query response > 12k (vtcp).
3. Check messages.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCud90061
Symptom: When executing a route processor (RP) switchover, the console CLI may display an error
message beginning with CPPOSLIB-3-ERROR_NOTIFY. This symptom does not affect functionality and
does not require any action to be taken.
Conditions: Can occur when executing a route processor (RP) switchover and does not impact any
functionality.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCud99438
Symptom: With VRF-lite config and permit ip any any, incoming traffic is dropped.
Conditions: Different VRFs and permit ip any any.

BFD sessions is lower than expected.
Conditions: When CSR1000v is being used as a VPN gateway and BFD session, the number of
stable BFD sessions is lower than expected.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCue06116
Symptom: VG350 gateway crashes when the configuration file is downloaded from CUCM. This
occurs when the VG350 has 144 ports configured.
Conditions: The VG350 supports a maximum of 144 FXS ports. Configure MGCP control and
download configuration from CUCM, gateway crashes.
Workaround: Use no ccm-manager config to stop the config download from CUCM.

CSCue22731
Symptom: WCCP service cannot work.
Conditions: Two services are configured in same interface, and then one service is deleted while the
other is inactive.
Workaround: Do not remove service from interface when the other is inactive.

CSCue22764
Symptom: ip wccp check acl outbound does not work on Ultra/Overlord.
Conditions: Ultra/Overlord platform.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCue25575
Symptom: The crash is observed for SDP pass through or call forward or anti-trombone cases.
Conditions: The crash is observed for a basic call involving SDP pass through call forward
anti-trombone cases.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCue34694
Symptom: 2921 Router crashed after receiving 486 Busy.
Conditions: Observed when handling 486 Busy response.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCue35533
Symptom: Ping fails with security applied and IKE disabled.
Conditions: This symptom is observed when the Cisco IOS Release 15.3(1.15)T image is loaded.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCue36387
Symptom: When IPv6 crypto is applied, the inbound interface counters associated with the crypto
configuration are not updated correctly. There is no problem with the functionality but the counters
are incorrect.
Conditions: Problem seen with interface input counters when using IPv6 crypto.

CSCue37523
Symptom: When IOS is a IPSEC QM (Quick Mode) responder for ipsec, and if it receives QM1
packet from Call Manager with missing ID payload, the packet is processed, but QM2 packet is not
sent to the Call Manager. It works fine when IOS is the initiator of QM.
Conditions: IOS Responder to QM from call manager does not send ID payload in transport mode
in QM1.
Workaround:
1. Initiate traffic from IOS router so that IOS is a QM initiator.
2. Change config of racoon client on call manager to send ID payload in QM1 as initiator
(support_proxy on).

CSCue40138
Symptom: sip parse error in case of retransmission.
Conditions: tcp retransmission with segments.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCue41031
Symptom: Exta IPsec flow is shown in the show crypto session output.
Conditions: This symptom is observed with the Cisco ASR 1000 RP1 FlexVPN Client.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCue45952
Symptom: Retransmitting phase 2 QM_IDLE seen in debugs and Phase2 information is resent
after successful IPSec tunnel establishment, causing tunnel teardown.
Conditions: Seen only if the following conditions are met:
Certificate authentication is used
There is no traffic on the tunnel

This DDTS is exposed by the commit of DDTS CSCua36739.


Workaround: Generate traffic, for example via IP SLA. All the branches where the fix for
CSCua36739 is published, need this fix as well.

CSCue46222

after a reboot, its value was changed to 1438.
Conditions: After a reboot.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCue48143
Symptom: BQS feature is not supported on ISR routers, therefor BQS show commands do not
provide any output. Example: ISR4451#show platform hardware qfp active bqs 0 cif
ISR44515#show platform hardware qfp active bqs 0 fif ISR4451#show platform hardware qfp
active bqs 0 gif ISR4451#
Conditions: None.
Workaround: Ignore BQS commands, as BQS feature is not supported on ISR4451.

CSCue48243
Symptom: Undefined event is displayed instead of an event related to registration.
Conditions: Seen when show monitor event gdoi registration all CLI is executed.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCue51792
Symptom: ASR 1002-X is causing VPN_HW-1-PACKET_ERROR on its IPSEC peer.
Conditions: This was observed only for ASR1002-X for crypto map based tunnels, with tunnel
keepalive enabled on the peer, and esp-3des as encryption mechanism. Only the GRE returning
keepalive seems to be affected; the rest of the traffic is unaffected.
Workaround: Use one of the following:
Disable gre keepalives on the peer.
Use AES instead of DES as encryption mechanism.
Move towards tunnel-protection-based design instead of cryptomap, and use IPSEC/IKE

keepalives instead of GRE keepalives.

CSCue52065
Symptom: With WCCP configured, when you replace the configuration, you get get continuous
traceback on the console at fman_wccp_aom_batch_begin.
Conditions: Race condition when WCCP interface / WCCP ACL are configured in several
miliseconds.

OL-26698-16

Caveats in Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers Release 3.9.1S

Conditions: Records can collect derived fields; calculating derived fields is dependent on the
values of other fields. The fields listed below are incorrectly defined as derived and dependent on
other fields. When a record contains one of these fields and does not include its dependent fields,
the record is punted to the route processor (RP) to complete the record processing. Punting these
records might lead to record loss.
Workaround: When configuring a monitor to collect one of the fields listed below, collect each of
the dependent fields also. The list indicates the dependencies:
connection delay application sum is dependent on:

connection delay response to-server sum


connection delay network to-server sum
connection server response sum
connection delay application min is dependent on:

connection delay response to-server min


connection delay network to-server sum
connection delay application max is dependent on:

connection delay response to-server max


connection delay network to-server sum
connection delay response client-to-server sum is dependent on:

connection delay response to-server sum


connection delay network to-server sum
connection server response sum
connection delay response client-to-server min is dependent on:

CSCue63756
Symptom: FPMAN-RP memory increases when the uut flaps the interface facing the CE side.
Conditions: 8K l2tpv3 scaling event monitor.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCue68258
Symptom: In IOS-XE releases 15.3(1)S2 and 15.3(2)S, upon performing an RP switchover, the
following message might be displayed on the console of the newly active RP:
%FMFP-3-OBJ_DWNLD_TO_CPP_FAILED: F1: fman_fp_image:
Modify not supported for FLOW-DEF:<> download to CPP failed

Furthermore, this might cause some of the features on the newly active RP to have stale objects,
which can be observed by issuing the following command:
show platform software object-manager FP active statistics
Conditions: The above message appears when Flexible NetFlow was configured on the previously
active RP.
Workaround: The only workaround available is to not do an RP switchover. However, if you do go
ahead with an RP switchover and end up in the inconsistent state noted above, you can perform one
of the following actions to bring the router back to a consistent state on the newly active RP.
Save the running configuration to NVRAM and reload the new RP.
Alternatively, if the system has dual FPs, then perform two FP switchovers successively:

1. Switch over from active FP to standby FP using redundancy force-switchover FP.


2. Switch back from standby to active using the same command.

CSCue69960
Symptom: Traceback and Queuing error for interface AppNav-Compress interface.
Conditions: Upon disabling the service context, saving config and reload.
Workaround: Upon enabling service-context, traceback is no longer seen.

CSCue71931
Symptom: Traceback is seen as soon the router reloads.
Conditions: This is an intermittent issue seen when the router reloads and at the same time WCM
sends a sync message to apply the configuration. We have 2 channels trying to apply config at the
same time.
Workaround: Reload the router again.

CSCue72258

CSCue89658
Symptom: A kernel core file is generated. Process core files that were being generated are
incomplete.
Conditions: When a process encounters a defect, it causes the generation of a core file. The system
is supposed to wait to finish generating a core file. But, if a second critical process encounters a
defect concurrent to the first process, then the system starts the shutdown procedure before the first
process is finished with generating a core file. As part of the shutdown procedure, the manager of
the hardware watchdog is shutdown. This causes a kernel panic in about 120 seconds. If the first
process does not finish generating the core file, then a kernel panic occurs. This leads to generating
a kernel core file, and terminates generation of the core file of the first process before it can
complete.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCue90034
Symptom: Router cannot boot up.
Conditions: Seen on certain configurations.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

T1/E1 NIM slots.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCuf24592
Symptom: 1. Certain counter values will appear to wrap around for condition 1 under the section
"Aggregate traffic distribution statistics". 2. Certain counter values will appear to decrement instead
of incrementing for condition 2 under the section "Aggregate traffic distribution statistics". The
following fields are affected: Packet and byte counts ---------------------- Redirected
Bytes Redirected Packets Received Bytes Received Packets Occurrences ----------Initial Redirects Initial Redirects Accepted Initial Redirect -> Passthrough Redirect
-> Passthrough

Conditions: 1. When counter values exceed 4294967296. 2. When one of the following clear
commands are run and the value exceeds 4294967292: clear service-insertion statistics, clear
service-insertion statistics service-node, clear service-insertion statistics service-node-group.
The symptom is observed when viewing the output from either of the two show commands show
service-insertion statistics service-node or show service-insertion statistics service-node-group.
Workaround: Avoid issuing the clear service-insertion statistics service-node-group and clear
service-insertion statistics service-node commands. We can monitor the stats for the counter
values up to 2^32 and wraparound thereafter. This limit the counter values to 2^32 instead of 2^64.

Workaround: Execute object and instance separately instead of the default like: show platform
hardware qfp active feature fnf client application name MMA object show platform hardware qfp
active feature fnf client application name MMA inst. The default is to show both object and
instances and this is crashing if there are more than eight instances. Therefore, do not use the
following in that case: show platform hardware qfp active feature fnf client application name MMA

Conditions: This occurs when the router is reloading when the following configurations exist: ip nat
setting mode cgn and ip nat setting pap.
Workaround: Either remove PAP or CGN configuration. A fix is expected in release 3.9.1 and later.

CSCug41599
Symptom: VTCP needs to adjust in case 10k h323 resemble packets size are received. Clear DF bit
to decrease the impact on MPLS Path Selection and Limit Packet length for assembled h.323 packet
to 8K.
Conditions: The following apply:
Send 10K tcp segments from server
pmod manipulate the 1st tcp segment into h323 realization format (03 00 length after tcp

header)
the response src port 80 and dst 1720

Workaround: Disable h323 alg.

CSCug43136
Symptom: After applying the QoS configuration with policy-maps, the configuration is seen in show
running config properly. However, on checking the QFP, the following is displayed:

CSCug44944
Symptom: vg350-universalk9-mz.SSA image fails to build.
Conditions: Building image fails.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCug45964
Symptom: PAP reference count (viewed via 'sh pl h q a f nat data pap') is too high. The PAP reference
count should match the number of sessions referencing that local address. This will cause NAT
memory footprint to be higher than expected because the PAP entries are not properly freed in this
case.
Conditions: This issue can only happen when PAP is configured ('ip nat setting pap') and certain
types of ALG traffic is run.
Workaround: Issuing a clear ip nat trans periodically will remove the stranded PAP entries and
prevent the NAT memory footprint from buidling up.

CSCug49130
Symptom: KP crashes with FTP traffic.
Conditions: When NAT is configured in CGN mode with PAP.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

Symptom: On scaled configs with mcast/oif, tracebacks are seen.
Conditions: On bootup with scaled configs PLATFORM_INTR_OVER_LIMITS are seen.
Workaround: Boot with empty configs and then apply the scaled configs.

CSCue29276
Symptom: Embedded Services Processor (ESP) board may be out of service due to run out of
process memory.
Conditions: This symptom is observed on a Cisco ASR1000 series router when functions as an IP
Security (IPSec) termination and aggregation router, and when dual-stack (over IPv6 transport)
Dynamic Multipoint VPN (DMVPN) is deployed with high scaling of spokes, and with Netflow,
NAT, URPF features enabled. And when Route Processor (RP) switch-over happens.
Workaround: there is no workaround.

CSCue53207
Symptom: A record that contains certain derived fields (listed below) may be punted incorrectly to
the route processor (RP) and lost.
Conditions: Records can collect derived fields; calculating derived fields is dependent on the
values of other fields. The fields listed below are incorrectly defined as derived and dependent on
other fields. When a record contains one of these fields and does not include its dependent fields,
the record is punted to the route processor (RP) to complete the record processing. Punting these
records might lead to record loss.
Workaround: When configuring a monitor to collect one of the fields listed below, collect each of
the dependent fields also. The list indicates the dependencies:
connection delay application sum is dependent on:

connection delay response to-server sum


connection delay network to-server sum

CSCue63092
Symptom: The Application ID field shows up as 0.
Conditions: ICA traffic is sent through a ASR functioning as a single ANC in an ACG.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCue69960
Symptom: Traceback and Queuing error for interface AppNav-Compress interface.
Conditions: Upon disabling the service context, saving config and reload.
Workaround: Upon enabling service-context, traceback is no longer seen.

CSCue77228
Symptom: The show service-insertion statistics connection summary command displays large
pass-through flows (greater than two million). This issue only affects the summary output. The
non-summary output is not affected.
Conditions: Multiple AppNav Controllers in an AppNav Controller Group is configured.
Workaround: Use non-summary output to count flows.

CSCue71931
Symptom: Traceback is seen as soon the router reloads.
Conditions: This is an intermittent issue seen when the router reloads and at the same time WCM
sends a sync message to apply the configuration. We have 2 channels trying to apply config at the
same time.
Workaround: Reload the router again.

CSCue71667
Symptom: ISR-WAAS service deployment fails when using EZConfig and a network/broadcast
address as the service IP.
Conditions: When using EZConfig for enabling ISR-WAAS service, if a network or broadcast
address is used as the service IP, EZConfig does not complain and goes ahead and tries to install,
activate service and register the same with WCM, which fails.

Workaround: Use a valid IP address for service IP, other than loopback address, network address,
and broadcast address.

CSCue80399
Symptom: Fails to remove SN_OR_WCM class and ACL config after 'service waas disable' process.
Conditions: 1. Activate and ensure ISR-WAAS is up and running with cms status online 2. Reload
router after "wr mem" is performed on the router and ISR-WAAS. 3. Ensure that the ISR-WAAS
boots up with the required configs and cms status online. 4. With/without De-Register ISR-WAAS
from CM. 5. Perform a 'service waas disable' and ensure all the configurations performed through
'service waas enable' is removed.
Workaround: Remove the SN_OR_WCM class and ACL manually.

CSCuf24592
Symptom: 1. Certain counter values will appear to wrap around for condition 1 under the section
"Aggregate traffic distribution statistics". 2. Certain counter values will appear to decrement instead
of incrementing for condition 2 under the section "Aggregate traffic distribution statistics". The
following fields are affected: Packet and byte counts ---------------------- Redirected
Bytes Redirected Packets Received Bytes Received Packets Occurrences ----------Initial Redirects Initial Redirects Accepted Initial Redirect -> Passthrough Redirect
-> Passthrough

Conditions: 1. When counter values exceed 4294967296. 2. When one of the following clear
commands are run and the value exceeds 4294967292: clear service-insertion statistics, clear
service-insertion statistics service-node, clear service-insertion statistics service-node-group.
The symptom is observed when viewing the output from either of the two show commands show
service-insertion statistics service-node or show service-insertion statistics service-node-group.
Workaround: Avoid issuing the clear service-insertion statistics service-node-group and clear
service-insertion statistics service-node commands. We can monitor the stats for the counter
values up to 2^32 and wraparound thereafter. This limit the counter values to 2^32 instead of 2^64.

CSCue49361
Symptoms: Jumbo packet drop due to re-assemble timeout.
Condition: On a Cisco ASR1002 router with NAT64 and Firewall configured, the traffic is GRE
tunnel over ipsec in and GRE tunnel over ipsec out. On the egress tunnel, you have to configure "ip
virtual-reassembly", otherwise you will observe a jumbo packet drop due to the re-assemble
timeout.
Workaround: Configure "ip virtual-reassembly" on GRE tunnel over ipsec.

CSCue51515
Symptoms: On a Cisco ASR1002 router with NAT64 scenario, send udp port 64 stateless
unidirectional traffic firewall shows it is sip pkt. And sh policy-map type inspect zone-pair displays
NATed ipv4 address as source address instead of ipv6 source address.
Conditions: None.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCue59629
Symptom: GM re-registers two times after issuing "clear crypto gdoi ks members" on the KS.
Conditions: KS has multiple IPSec SAs configured on the GDOI group. GM is an ASR.

Symptom: When the encapsulation on pvc is aal5mux.
Conditions: Ping fails when encapsulation on pvc is aal5mux.
Workaround: Configure a different encapsulation aal2snap and make it default.

CSCue67984
Symptom: Pending objects are seen.
Conditions: This symptom is observed on an SSO with ATM PVP local switch scaling configuration.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCue71282
Symptom: ISR G2 only supports 1,000,000 cache entries per monitor and thus ISR G3 will support
only 1,000,000 entries as well. Future releases of the software will enforce this restriction so
configurations that exceed 1,000,000 with this release will not work for subsequent releases.
Conditions: The number of entries in a flow monitor can be configured using the flow monitor
<name> cache entries <NUMBER of ENTRIES> command.
Workaround: It is recommended not to configure more than 1,000,000 cache entries per monitor on
the ISR G3 platform, and this will be enforced in future software releases.

CSCue81059
Symptom: After the aggressive aging trigger goes off, the number of half open sessions is not
consistent for a given set of configurations.
Conditions: This symptom is observed when ZBFW aggressive aging is configured with inspect
action.
Workaround: There is workaround.

CSCue88209
Symptom: Bay based cmcc environmental monitoring works but it does not come up in the show
env command.
Condition: None.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCue89658
Symptom: A kernel core file is generated. Process core files that were being generated are
incomplete.
Conditions: The kernel core is generated when HMAN stops strobing the HW Watchdog timer. This
occurs concurrently when a process with a large resident set size (IOSd) is dumping core.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

Release 3.9.0S.

CSCsr06399
Symptom: A Cisco 5400XM may reload unexpectedly.
Conditions: This symptom is intermittent and is seen only when the DSPs available are insufficient
to support the number of calls.
Workaround: Ensure that sufficient DSPs are available for transcoding.

CSCsu57181
Symptom: When the retransmission number is changed, the next rekey does not reflect this change.
Conditions: Change the number of retransmissions from 2 to 5, and the number stays at 2; and when
changing the retransmissions from 2 to 1, the number of retransmissions stays at 2. This happen for
both unicast and multicast rekey.
Workaround: clear crypto gdoi and start over again.

CSCsz65576
Symptom: One or more linecards may fail to boot in an ASR1000 with an RP2 or there may be an
error with the EOBC. %CMFP-3-STANDBY_EOBC_LINK_ERROR: F0: cman_fp: Standby
EOBC link error detected.
Conditions: This symptom is observed with certain combinations of RP2 and ESP10.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCtc18691
Symptom: DRAM Error Correction (ECC) is not properly enabled for memory modules installed on
certain ASR1k-CC boards.
Conditions: For these DIMMs, ECC will not be enabled. The system will not be able to detect or
correct any single bit errors which may occur during normal operation.The effect of these
uncorrected bit errors could lead to unpredictable system behavior.
Workaround: The card or 2RU system must have the ROMMON upgraded to either version XNC,
XND1, or 15.3(1r)S or later. Upon subsequent restart the system will run with the new ROMMON
and ECC will function as expected. For full ROMMON upgrade instructions see:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps9343/prod_maintenance_guides_list.html. As a temporary
workaround until the ROMMON upgrade can be performed, reset the card in question, this will clear
the bit error and normal operation will resume, although ECC will still be disabled.

CSCtg47129
The Cisco IOS Software implementation of the virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) aware network
address translation (NAT) feature contains a vulnerability when translating IP packets that could
allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition.

Symptoms: If an IPv4 or IPv6 packet is sent to a null interface, a Cisco ASR 1000 series router will
not respond with an ICMP or ICMPv6 packet.
Conditions: This symptom occurs with a prefix routed to Null0 interface.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCtq41512
Symptoms: After reload, ISDN layer 1 shows as deactivated. Shut/no shut brings the PRI layer 1 to
Active and layer 2 to Multi-frame established.
Conditions: This symptom occurs when "voice-class busyout" is configured and the controller TEI
comes up before the monitored interface.
Workaround: Remove the "voice-class busyout" configuration from the voice-port.

CSCtq81245
Symptom: SPA-4XCT3/DS0 spa reloads after doing fp reload.
Conditions: 1. Issue is seen on single fp system. 2. Issue is seen when serial interface are configured
on the spa. 3. SPA-4XCT3/DS0 spa is installed in SIP40 only
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCtr96024
Symptom: The user is not notified about an error scenario relating to larger-than-allowed flow
record of type performance-monitor being used in a Performance Monitor policy. This is misleading
because the user may mistakenly believe that the Performance Monitor policy is correctly attached
to the desired interface, but will find that monitoring of traffic is not working as expected.
Conditions: 1. The Performance Monitor feature is being used on ASR platform. 2. A flow record
of type performance-monitor, which contains more than the maximum allowed fields has been
configured. 3. The user is referencing the above flow record in a Performance Monitor policy which

has been attached to a desired interface. The maximum number of fields allowed in a flow record =
30 "timestamp sys-uptime first" field "timestamp sys-uptime last" field. If absent, the timestamp
fields are automatically added to the record. However, the total number of fields should still be less
than or equal to 32.
Workaround: Use a flow record of type performance-monitor which has 32 or less fields.

CSCts08224
Symptom: Expected ACL/sessions not found for most of the protocols.
Conditions: The symptom is observed with expected ACL/sessions.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCts52120
Symptom: Tracebacks are seen for PLATFORM_INFRA-5-IOS_INTR_OVER_LIMIT.
Conditions: This symptom is observed with RPSO.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCtu02543
Symptom: Sometimes, users may face a "peer leak" situation with EzVPN.
Conditions: This symptom may occur when an NAT box gets reloaded/rebooted with live
translations.
Workaround: Reload the router to clear the leaked peers.

CSCtu54300
Symptom: Tracebacks are seen when configuring the key server.
Conditions: This symptom occurs when configuring the key server.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCtv93326
Symptom: Inconsistency between IOS CLI and platform state with regard to flow record
configuration on the router. Reporting of Mediatrace statistics may fail, with the following error
reported on the Mediatrace Initiator device: Metrics Collection Status: Fail (19, No
statistic data available for reporting)

Conditions: This is a Flowdef modify event as a result of event consolidation. It can occur in the
following scenario: 1. Detach the flowdef associated with a monitor. 2. Change the flowdef (add /
delete fields). 3. Re-attach the flowdef to the monitor. For the Mediatrace symptom, the problem can
occur when a route change occurs for the traffic being monitored.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCtw72739
Symptom: The "retry-after" time in a 503 message is not used by the gateway (UAC) and retries

Symptom: Call Menu (CM) tone may be detected and suppressed in the following call Flow:
Modem - - [FXS] - - VG224 - - [MGCP] - - CUCM - - [SIP] - - CUBE - - [SIP] - - PSTN Modem
connected to the VG224 places an outbound call to a destination in the PSTN. CM tone from the
originating modem gets removed by the VG224. To verify the symptom, enable "debug voip hpi
notification" and you would see a line "MODEM CM tone detected" in the debug output.
Conditions: SIP trunk provider does not support NSE based modem passthrough and hence VG224
was not configured with "mgcp modem passthrough".
Workaround: 1. Configure the FXS port as a non-mgcp port, disable fax relay and sg3-to-g3
suppression commands at the voip dial-peer level : dial-peer voice 99920 pots no service mgcpapp

Conditions: This symptom occurs when using EzVPN.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCtx06895
Symptom: Command "parameter type urlfpolicy" is not available in "policy-map type inspect
urlfilter" configuration mode. This makes it impossible to configure IOS URLF in 15.2(3)T. Unable
to call the "trend" keyword in the class-map under the policy-map.
Conditions: IOS 15.2(3)T and 15.2(1)T2(6) both show the same symptom.
Workaround: Downgrade to 15.2(2)T1.

CSCtx1579
Symptom: An MTP on a Cisco ASR router sends an "ORC ACK" message through CRC for the
channel ID that is just received but does not reply to the ORC for the next channel.
Conditions: The symptom is observed when there is a very short time lapse between the ORC and
CRC, say 1 msec.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCtx59316
Symptom: A packet punt to RP due to incomplete adjacency gets processed by CoPP. This makes

CSCua04668
Symptom: 3945 voice gateway crashes when the config file is download from CUCM. this is 112
FXS bundle.
Conditions: Once 96 ports have registered and when we try to register the 97 port on, the gateway
will download the config from CUCM the router will crash

CSCub04205
Symptom: Incorrect phone screen display, when an incoming call is forwarded. Specifically, with
the following config- alias 1 666 to 85004001 cfw 85004002 timeout 5 calling from external
PSTN phone number ex:0612345678 To 4597, which is translated to 666, first rings the phone
85004001 and when it is ringing, screen phone display is OK. When the call is cfw'd to the second
phone ( 85004002 ), the screen phone display : Forward 612345678 For 04929 (850... By 04929
(666) is incorrect. The number 04929 is corresponding to the external phone number mask in
CUCM of an other IP phone. The external phone number mask displayed is the field "name" or
"description" of the FIRST ephone recorded in the SRST router ( see "call-manager-fallback
ephone-dn" attached file), whatever the redirect phone number used the mask is ALWAYS the one
of the first ephone recorded.
Conditions: 1. SRST 2. alias command, under call-manager-fallback.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

weeks.

CSCub16403
Symptom: On the ASR1K series of routers running the Flexible Netflow feature, when the command
show flow monitor MON cache is issued timestamps are displayed as local wallclock time. These
timestamps may be skewed by the time delta between how long the Route Processor (RP) has been
up and how long the Forwarding Processor (FP or ESPXX) has been up. This delta is typically in
the range of several minutes but it may be even longer than that.
Conditions: ASR1K router running Flexible Netflow when show flow monitor MON cache
command is issued.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

Condition: The box is configured with 1K VRFs and 1K Virtual templates. And the crypto sessions
are repeatedly cleared/reestablished.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCub33119
Symptom: sh pl software interface fp active name interfacexxx ip reassembly? command doesn't
display reassembly parameter correctly.
Conditions: When the router is not configured reassembly max-reassembly value, it is using its
default value 16. in this case, ios sh ip reassembly gigabitEthernet 0/0/0 will display this value
correctly, but binos (show platform software inter fp active name xxx ip reassembly) will not.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCub34318
Symptom: Some of SIP calls between Cisco IOS Voice gateway and a remote SIP UA that is behind
a NAT router may experience audio issue (one way audio) if a private IP address is being advertised
by the remote site for the media connection.
Conditions: When Cisco IOS Voice gateway has a peer SIP UA that is behind a NAT router, and a
private IP address is being advertised during the call setup by the remote side, you may need to
enable, on the IOS Voice Gateway, support for Symmetric NAT traversal using "nat symmetric
check-media-src" command to have the voice gateway to learn the media address and port from the
first incoming RTP packet. But two consecutive 180 responses received by the IOS Voice gateway
(during call setup) with different "To:" tags (what is a normal behavior of a SIP Proxy), is breaking
this support for "SIP NAT symmetric" feature. And you will experience one way audio issue even
though "nat symmetric check-media-src" is configured.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

Symptom: Call dropping issue was found while testing new network based features on AT&T's
FlexReach network. The features are network-based Simultaneous Ringing and Sequential Ringing.
Conditions: The following is the behavior for Simultaneous Ringing: 1. Hopon call from PSTN to
7323204351 2. Both Phone 2 (7323204351) and Phone 3 (7323204350) ring 3. Phone 3 is answered,
but immediately drops 4. Phone 2 stops ringing (I see CANCEL from AT&T for this call-id) 5. PSTN
caller continues to hear ringback tone Per the attached trace, CUBE fails to send a 200 OK with SDP
in response to AT&T's re-INVITE to open up the voice channel. For Sequential Ringing: 1.
HOPON from 4085271217 (Phone 1) to Phone 3 (7323204350) 2. Note the INVITE has media
attribute codec pref 18 0 100 ; INACTIVE 3. CUBE sends 100 Trying then 180 Ringing 4. Phone
rings ~3X then call is cancelled by AT&T side by sending SIP CANCEL message 5. CUBE
acknowledges by sending 200 ok followed by 487 Request Cancelled 6. AT&T sends INVITE to
Phone 2 (7323204351) with media attribute codec pref 18 0 100 ; INACTIVE 7. CUBE sends 100
Trying then 180 Ringing 8. Upon answer - CUBE sends 200 ok with no codec pref in media
attribute 9. AT&T sends re-INVITE - with no SDP 10. CUBE sends 100 Trying 11. AT&T sends
BYE even before CUBE can send 200 ok 12. Caller from AT&T side hear continuous RINGBACK
tone Again, per the attached trace on Sequential Ringing, CUBE fails to send a 200 OK with SDP
in response to AT&T's re-INVITE to open up the voice channel. Per AT&T, their side might be
sending the BYE because CUBE sends its initial 200 OK with SDP but no codec preference. (refer
to Sim. Ring Trace).
Workaround: There is no workaround.

---------------------------------------------------

Conditions: This symptom is observed with the following conditions: - MGCP gateway. - Take out
all the modules from the router. - Put the modules one by one. - Apply the configuration. - The router
is stable. The lab test recreated as follows: 1) Disable auto-configuration, that is, "no ccm-manager
config". 2) Reload the gateway. 3) Enable the CCM manager configuration and the router does not
crash.
Workaround 1: Bypass the start-up configuration and log in via ROMmon without any configuration.
Add the configuration one by one. Once the configuration is added, save the configuration and
reload the gateway.
Workaround 2: Shut down the router and add the cards one by one in slots 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4. The
device is stable until the third slot is inserted and brought up. As soon the router is powered on, after
adding the fourth slot, the crash starts. Shut down the router and remove the card in slot 4
(EVM-HD-8FXS/DID). Bring the device up without the card in slot 4 (EVM-HD-8FXS/DID).
Remove the "mgcp" and "ccm-manager fallback-mgcp" configuration from the device because the
console log is displaying the "Call Manager backhaul registration failed" error message. Shut down
the router and add the card which was removed. Bring up the router. Read the ccm-manager
fallback-mgcp command and do a "no mgcp/mgcp". The router becomes stable.
Workaround 3: Remove the ccm-manager config command by no ccm-manager config which tears
down the connection from the call manager to the MGCP gateway. The gateway will not download
the configuration from the call agent at the time of startup. Reload the router. Once the router is back

Conditions: This condition in observed when IPv4 and IPv6 co-exist in the interface configuration
and with FW NAT configuration.
Workaround: Instead of using pre-natted source address in ACL, use post-nat source address.
For example, if the following static NAT is used, IP NAT inside source static 36.1.1.2 37.1.1.83
In order to allow traffic from host 36.1.1.2 to pass thru fireall, the ACL should be :
ip access-list extended foo-list

ASR1K GETVPN GM does not attempt registration after reload interface up
Symptoms: The Cisco ASR 1000 router being GM in a Get VPN deployment fails to start GDOI
registration after a reload.
Conditions: This symptom occurs when running Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)S. The following error
is displayed in the show crypto gdoi command output after reload. Registration status: Not
initialized.
Workaround: Use an EEM script to issue clear crypto gdoi command some time after boot time or

Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCuc01194
Symptom:

If there is a "peer .. fqdn ..." statement in the startup-config

For example: crypto ikev2 client flexvpn flex

peer 1 fqdn <FQDN>

Then after rebooting, the "peer ..." statement may be missing from the running-config.
Conditions: This occurs because at boot time, when the startup-config is parsed, there is no DNS
connectivity so the DNS resolution of the FQDN fails and hence the command is not accepted.
Workaround: Remove the peer and add it again with the "dynamic" keyword, i.e.:
client flexvpn flex no peer 1 fqdn <FQDN> peer 1 fqdn <FQDN> dynamic

Note

crypto ikev2

This process will delay the DNS resolution of the fqdn until the VPN tunnel is built.
CSCuc01368
Symptom: This is issue introduced in skyrise as part of a feature. This a display issue due to space

CSCuc27517
Symptom: Permanent license disappear after the IOS upgrade or downgrade.
Conditions: This symptom occurs when:
The ASR1001 IOS is upgraded from 03.05.02 or older to 03.06.00 or later.
The IOS is downgraded from 03.06.00 or later to 03.05.02 or older.

Workaround: Without this fix: Do a license save from 3.4 before the upgrade and re-install in 3.6 in
34, save all the licenses to a file to bootflash 1RU#license save <file location> in 36 , install back
all the licenses from the file 1RU#license install <file location>.
With this fix: To avoid this, customers have to create a file in the bootflash called
1RU_34_36_ENFORCE_LICENSE_MIGRATION to enforce the migration of all the licenses
before the upgrade process. The file will be removed automatically after the license migration.
For example: 1RU#license save bootflash:1RU_34_36_ENFORCE_LICENSE_MIGRATION
For the routers, which are already experiencing this issue, customers can either try to reinstall the
licenses or downgrade to 34, create the file in bootflash and upgrade with 36 or later image with
this fix again.

CSCuc32543
Symptom: Changes in the configured PPP multilink fragment size or fragment delay are not pushed
down to the data path for Broadband MLPPP sessions. Note that this issue does not apply to MLPPP
over Serial connections.
Conditions: If PPP multilink fragmentation is enabled on a Broadband MLPPP bundle before the
bundle is established and the user later attempts to modify the fragment size or fragment delay, the
resulting fragment size changes are not pushed down to the data path (i.e. the original fragment size
configuration is retained). The IOS show ppp multilink command indicates that the new fragment
size was applied but, in fact, the new fragment size may not yet be active.
Workaround: After changing the fragment size or fragment delay configuration, restart the Multilink
PPP session. This can be accomplished via the
clear ppp interface Bundle-Virtual-Access-intf-name command.

CSCuc33214
Symptom: The PADI drops statistics shown in show interafces are not cleared.

call flow is as follows: PSTN caller --Verizon---(sip)---ASR
CUBE---(sip)---CUSP---(sip)---Genesis (SIP refer sent to transfer back to Verizon) -- CUSP CUBE - Verizon -- PSTN
Conditions: This symptom is observed only after upgrading to Cisco IOS Release 15.2(2)S.
Workaround: Modify the diversion header on the transfer leg invite. Therefore, the Verizon handles
the call differently.

Conditions: This symptom is observed with shut or no shut of the tunnel interface.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCuc44071
Symptom: GRE keepalives are going out unencrypted if the Tunnel interface is in up or protocol
down state.
Conditions: This symptom occurs under the following conditions:
ASR1k platform (reproduced on 3.4S through 3.7S)
GRE/IPsec using tunnel protection
Keepalives configured on GRE/IPsec tunnel
Tunnel interface in protocol down state because of previously missed GRE keepalives
PIM configured on Tunnel interface
ip multicast-routing distributed command is configured globally.

Workaround: Disable ip multicast-routing distributed command (possible performance impact) or


remove PIM configuration from Tunnel interface. The GRE keepalives will be encrypted as long as
there is no CEF adjacency on the Tunnel interface when in protocol down state (i.e. no output from
show adjacency tunnel number detail command).

CSCuc46087
Symptoms: CUBE does not send a response to an early dialog UPDATE in a glare scenario.
Conditions: This symptom occurs when CUBE receives an early dialog UPDATE when it sends
200OK to INVITE and expects ACK.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCuc46352
Symptom: One-way audio when using anti-trombone on a CUBE for a inbound call that is call
forwarded back to the ITSP. After the call is forwarded, the CUBE never sends a Re-INVITE to the
calling party to change the IP address from it's own IP to the IP of the ITSP. Therefore, the calling
party doesn't get any audio. Whereas, the forwarded party hears the calling party fine.
Conditions: media anti-trombone command is configured under voice service voip.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCuc47356
Symptoms: Static routes are not getting removed.
Conditions: This symptom is observed with Smap - Smap. Removal of CLI does not remove the

Symptoms: IKEv2 STOP Accounting records show wrong counters for packets/octets, when the
sessions are locally cleared using clear crypto sa command or clear crypto session command on
ASR 1000 Routers.
Conditions: This symptom is observed with latest Cisco IOS XE Release 3.8S images when
IKEV2-Accounting is enabled. This issue is easily reproducible with a single session, and may be
service impacting as STOP Accounting records are usually used for billing purposes.
Workaround: The STOP records reflect the right counters when the disconnect is through the
remote-end.

CSCuc48884
Symptom: Cannot make more than 4000 CUBE calls with the default configuration, and this can be
a limitation for HA as well.
Conditions: Trying to make more than 4000 CUBE calls.
Workaround: In most cases, multiple media-address ranges can be configured, though this may not
work for HA.

CSCuc49319
Symptom: An INVITE that contains a Replaces: header and also a parameter in the Request URI
will be responded to with a SIP 481 Call Leg/Transaction Does Not Exist. The transfer that was the
trigger of the INVITE with the Replaces: header will fail to complete.
Conditions: This was seen on CUBE when handling a triggered INVITE during a REFER based
transfer.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCuc53085
Symptom: When the peer's public key has outlived its usefulness, it will be marked for deletion and
upon the next time, we search the public key cache, all peer public keys that are marked for deletion
are removed. In the case of this defect, it has been observed that, after performing a manual CRL
update (crypto pki crl request TrustPoint) whatever the content of the crl response, the router
deletes keys according to the following sequence: 10 keys, next time 6 keys, then next time 4 keys
and so on, i.e. 2/1/0. This occurs whatever the amount of revoked certificates inside the updated crl

95

Caveats in Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers Release 3.9.0S

and it occurs also when the crl content does not change between different requests, i.e. when no
certificates were revoked. So, the amount and number of keys to be deleted follows a pattern but the
choice of key to be deleted is random. There is no negative impact on operation.
Conditions: Manual CRL update on a device running IOS 15.2(03)T. CRL caching is enabled.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCuc53349
Symptom: In ASR CUBE-ENT platform, the show voice call rate table command displays the call
per second (cps) information in histogram instead of tabular format.
Conditions: None.
Workaround: Use show call history stats cps table command instead. This command is available
from Cisco IOS XE Release 3.8.

CSCuc54220
Symptoms: The SVTI always-up feature is broken.
Conditions: This symptom occurs in clear and rekey cases.
Workaround: Use shut and no shut commands.

CSCuc54604
Symptom: CUBE SP does not respond to any SIP messages sent across using TCP. SIP using UDP
works fine. Call Flow: Multiple CUCM's ---> SIP --->CUBE SP--->Provider.
Conditions: This defect is noticed on 15.2(01)S01 and is only active when we have calls running SIP
TCP. Reason for this behavior is that during the create or close transaction on TCP, the control buffer
would be on hold. Therefore, if close of existing TCP connection is needed while the control buffer
are all being held, the connection would be marked as dead but not able to notify corresponding peer,
therefore the peer might still send data through that connection, which CUBE-SP would think as
invalid and get dropped internally.
Workaround: As a workaround we need to send the SIP call as UDP instead of TCP.

CSCuc56136
Symptom: Traffic fails to pass on PW.
Conditions: Configure xconnect on EFP and do RP SSO.
Workaround: Reconfigure the EFP and xconnect.

CSCuc56259
Symptoms: A Cisco 3945 that is running 15.2(3)T2 and running as a voice gateway may crash. Just
prior to the crash, these messages can be seen: %VOIP_RTP-6-MEDIA_LOOP: The packet is seen
traversing the system multiple times and Delivery Ack could not be sent due to lack of buffers.
Conditions: This happens when a media loop is created (which is due to misconfiguration or some
other call forward/transfer scenarios).
Workaround: Check the configurations for any misconfigurations, especially, with calls involving
CUBE and CUCM.

CSCuc56895
Symptom: Incorrect Profile trunk-route 4 is getting configured when different profile trunk-route is
configured under Voice service saf.

CSCuc57822
Symptoms: The NBAR classification granularity reduced for some protocols or some protocols may
be classified as unknown.
Conditions: This symptom is observed when the following command is executed: test platform
hardware qfp active feature nbar function sui_gmc_show_chunks_brief. If the errors? column
has a non-zero value, it is most likely caused by the problem described here.
Workaround: Restarting NBAR will typically solve the problem. If a protocol pack is loaded, a
simple way to restart NBAR would be to unload and reload the protocol pack. In order to
workaround the problem and verify that the problem is resolved, perform the following steps:

1.

Clear the above counters using the command: test platform hardware qfp active feature nbar
function sui_gmc_reset_counters

2.

Verify that the number of errors has been cleared: test platform hardware qfp active feature
nbar function sui_gmc_show_chunks_brief

3.

Enter configure mode: config terminal

4.

Unload the protocol pack: no ip nbar protocol-pack protocol-pack-filename

5.

Reload the protocol pack: ip nbar protocol-pack protocol-pack-filename

6.

Verify the number of errors is 0: test platform hardware qfp active feature nbar function

CSCuc57882
Symptom: High CPU on the 2911 router causing voice-ports going from
S_CONNECT/S_TRUNKED to -/S_TRUNK_PEND after a few hours. This is an LMR deployment
(Hool and Hooter config) Call flow: ============ Recording server (E&M port) <------- (E&M
port) 2911 <--------IP link--------(((multicast source --application)))
Conditions: The High CPU was seen with the following IOS versions:
c2900-universalk9-mz.SPA.152-4.M1.bin c2900-universalk9-mz.SPA.151-4.M2.bin
151-3.T4.bin
Root Cause Of The Issue: In the above IOS versions, the issue was observed in the udp_checksum()
routine, which gets invoked in this case as the other endpoint is sending the checksum. Currently,
the behavior is such that when it receives UDP checksum in incoming packet, it will try to compute
it. Thereby, leading to the High CPU errors and causing the PVDMs to crash, which leads to the
voice ports going to S_CONNECT/S_TRUNKED to -/S_TRUNK_PEND after a few hours.
Workaround: The following workarounds are available:
Make sure that udp checksum is disabled on the other endpoint sending the packet to us.
Have an image ready which basically ignores the udp checksum in the incoming packet, if the

udp checksum is not important. The image was provided by the DE.

CSCuc58513

CSCuc60509
Symptoms: A Cisco 2951 that is running Cisco IOS Release 15.2(1)T1 may have a processor pool
memory leak in CCSIP_SPI_CONTROL.
Conditions: The issue is seen when CUBE receives a PUBLISH request. At customer site, the issue
was seen due to incorrect SIP trunk configuration, which resulted in PUBLISH requests to be sent
to CUBE instead of CUSP.
Workaround: Correct the SIP Trunk configuration so that PUBLISH requests are not sent to CUBE.

CSCuc61244
Symptom: BFD flaps.
Conditions: Configure hardware BFD and configure egress ACL.
Workaround: Change the hardware BFD to software mode.

CSCuc61956
Symptom: Agent Stats corrupted on agent reset.
Conditions: Set timezone other than UTC on the CME router and reset the agent in EHG.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCuc62078
Symptom: Call Flow: 9971 ---- SIP ---- CUCM ---- SIP ---- CUBE ---- SIP ---- Provider
Issue: Provider does not support video codecs, as soon as an INVITE with video codes in the SDP,
provider is disconnecting the call. The customer wants to use Video capability for internal calls and
when external call is made, is requesting if they can strip the Video attributes from SDP going in the
INVITE to provider.
Conditions: Created voice class sip-profiles 1000 and applied under the outgoing dial-peer to
provider. Voice class sip-profiles 1000 request INVITE sdp-header Video-Attribute remove request
INVITE sdp-header Video-Media modify "m=video(.*)" request INVITE sdp-header
Video-Bandwidth-Info remove Before applying the profile, below is the snippet of SDP rcv on

To remove the third c= line, tried the below under sip-profiles: not working as expected: request
INVITE sdp-header Video-Session-Info REMOVE***Trying to add this line, to see if it will make
any difference, however show run, displays Video-Session-Name request INVITE sdp-header
Video-Connection-Info REMOVE***Trying to add this line, to see if it will make any difference,
however show run, displays request INVITE sdp-header remove.
Workaround: If the customer does not have a requirement to have video for external calls, then much
better option is to disable video at CUCM only for external calls. This can be done on CUCM by the
following ways:

1.

Create a new region on CUCM with video disabled.

2.

Keep the SIP trunk to CUBE in that new region.

3.

This way, internal calls can still have video, and there won't be any video coming to CUBE for
external calls.

CSCuc63246
Symptom: Call Flow: PSTN->PRI->Voice GW->SIP->CUCM->IP phone. During an active call
between PSTN and IP phone (non-secure), if the IP phone user presses the Hold key for second time
call gets disconnected. Hold and Resume for the first time works fine. MOH server is using SRTP.
Also, if the IP phone used is secure (SRTP), then call will not get disconnected; no matter, how many
times the user presses the Hold and Resume keys. Customer has mixed mode cluster.
Conditions: When audio session between IP phone and VG is RTP and then the Hold key is pressed
for the second time. The MOH uses Secure RTP.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

nat with overload statements configured before we configure static nat for ports.
Conditions: This happens if we have NAT with overload statements are configured first.
Workaround: Remove all NAT statments and configure the static NAT before the NAT overload.
(Note that we will get the failure message again at the reload time since the commands are nvgenned
with the overload command first.)

CSCuc88175
Symptoms: When a dynamic cryptomap is used on the Virtual Template interface, SAs are not
created and the testscripts fail. This issue occurs because the cryptomap configurations are not
added to the NVGEN, and hence there is no security policy applied on the Virtual Template
interface.
Conditions: This symptom occurs only when a dynamic map is used on the Virtual Template
interface. However, this issue is not seen when the tunnel protection is used on the Virtual Template
interface or when a dynamic map is used on the typical physical interface.

CSCuc89800
Symptom: Receive a for_us packet with multiple (thousands of) tunnel headers, make ESP crash.
Conditions: Router A-------Router B-------Router C there is a tunnel T1 between A and C. In the
router A, there is a PBR that makes the packets from B transmitted through T1. In router B there is
a default route pointing to A. Then in router A a packet is transmitted through T1 encapsulated with
a GRE header. When this packet arriving at router B, due to the flapping of route between B and C,
it cannot be sent to C. But it will be sent to A because of the default route. When the packet arriving
at A, according to the PBR rule, it will be transmitted through T1 again encapsulated one more GRE
header. again and again, this packet will be encapsulated with thousands of GRE header. At last,
when the route between B and C no longer flaps, it will arrive at C, and make C crash.
Workaround: Workaround for customer's scenario: Customer can configure a ACL in router C 's
tunnel T1 interface, deny the packet if it has an inner header with the same src addr and dst addr
with outer header. But this workaround can't cover the scenario of an attack packet encapsulated
with multiple different tunnel headers.

Symptoms: The WCCP stops working after adding Cisco IOS Zone Based Firewall (ZBF. Message
of WCCP packets being redirected can be seen but not leaving the Cisco ASR router.
Conditions: This symptom is observed when Cisco ASR router with netflow and ZBF is enabled
under the same interfaces.
Workaround: Disable netflow on all the interfaces.

CSCuc93739
Symptom: Phase 2 for EzVPN client with split network and VTI does not come up if IPSec SA goes
down.
Conditions: The root cause of the issue is that IPsec SA is not being triggered after IPsec SA is down
due to no traffic. So in spite of traffic IPsec SA is not coming up leading to packet drops in client
network. The same problem is not seen with Cisco IOS Release 15.0(1)M7. This behavior is
introduced post-PAL where virtual-interface creates a ruleset where traffic cannot trigger IPsec SA
again once IPsec SA is deleted.
Workaround The following are workarounds for this symptom:
Configure ip sla on EZVPN client for split networks, so that IPSec SA will not go down.
Remove virtual-interface from EZVPN client profile if it is not needed.

OL-26698-16

Caveats in Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers Release 3.9.0S

Symptom: The interface hierarchy gets corrupted during OIR such that subsequent reconfiguration
events lead to a system crash. Impacted Platforms: ESP-100 and VXE-2, aka Yoda platforms. Not
Impacted Platforms: All CPP10 platforms, i.e. ESP-10, ESP-20, ESP-40, etc. It also does not impact
Overlord and ultra.
Conditions: The FRF.12 P3 queue is not removed from the interface during OIR. The code assumes
all features would have been removed from the interface before the default queue is removed. When
the default queue is re-added while the P3 is already active, its sub-hierarchy is built on top of the
leaf node for the P3 queue. This causes the hierarchy to grow exponentially to a point where
programming the hardware fails.
Workaround: Remove FRF.12 before OIR and re-apply it after OIR. While this should work when
done manually or via a script, it may be unreliable in the real world where OIR could occur due to
swapping out one SPA for another unless the user remembers to disable FRF.12 before swapping the
SPAs.

CSCud24483
Symptom: Dialling FAC (Feature Access Codes) in the On-Hook state and then going Off-hook

The following are the different Call scenarios:


PBX(A) user dials external party (towards C) the calls is answered.
PBX(A) user presses the conference/transfer key which places the call on hold. MOH is heard

by the external party.


PBX(A) user dials external party (towards c) and the call is answered.
PBX(A) user completes the call transfer.
The call transfer is completed, but no audio is heard, by either A or B.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCud70243
Symptom: Some IPv6 subscribers fail to come up in a scenario in which there is a frequent session
churn.
Conditions: The issue occurs on an ASR 1K router, for IPv6 subscribers that have traffic classes
configured. It occurs when the sessions are torn down soon after coming up. It can also involve a
change to a session's complement of traffic classes shortly after coming up, but before being torn
down. A number of pending objects can register in the output of the show platform software
object-manager fp active statistics command.
Workaround: Remove the pending objects by performing an FP switchover on ASR 1K routers that
have two of them. Before performing an FP switchover, make sure that there are not any pending
objects on the standby FP. This can be determined by using the command show platform software
object-manager fp standby statistics. If the standby FP has pending object counts when the system
is in steady-state, it should be reloaded and checked for pending objects after it comes back. If the
new pending object counts reach is 0, then proceed with an FP switchover.

Caveats in Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers Release 3.9.0S

Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCud75856
Symptom: Presence of FP core file.
Conditions: Under certain very rare (unreproducible in lab) conditions, multicast LRE code can run
out of rbufs while serially processing the packets, presumably, because feature chain is executed.
Workaround: Disabling MLRE through the configuration command platform multicast lre off can
be done if condition occurs.

CSCud77549
Symptom: CPPOSLIB-3-ERROR_NOTIFY error messages are reported while trying to configure
the inspect policy for the ZBF in ASR1K.
Conditions: ZBF config, good number of entries in the ACL maps under the class-map
Workaround: Reload the ESP and remove the ACL entry that is creating the issue.

CSCud78649
Symptom: An error message SBC: SBC ^T^U^\V is not configured is printed when activating sbc.
Conditions: The issue occurs when the activate command is Run just after the command
media-address ipv4...
ASR-1001-CCN-7(config)#sbc test ASR-1001-CCN-7(config-sbc)#sbe
ASR-1001-CCN-7(config-sbc-sbe)#media-address ipv4 1.20.0.2 vrf vrfa
ASR-1001-CCN-7(config-sbc-media-address)#activate SBC: SBC ^A^T not configured.

Workaround: exit sbc, and enter sbc again, then Run the activate command.

CSCud79391
Symptom: AVC functionality (performance monitor and media-net) was missing from
advipservices image. It was only present in adventerprise.
Conditions: When loading an advipservices image, AVC functionality could not be configured.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCud80832
Symptom: The ASR 1000 router can result in a ucode crash when the box is running NAT with oer
keyword and also running PfR.
Conditions: The issue occurs when the NAT is configured with the oer keyword on NAT mapping
and PfR is used for traffic optimization, doing a shut or no shut on a PfR external link also happens
to be the NAT outside interface, which can result in a crash if the traffic is flowing.
Workaround: Avoid doing a manual shut or no shut on the PfR external interfaces when running
with NAT. If you must do a shut or no shut, shut down the NAT inside the interface first, then do a
clean ip nat trans * and then shut the PfR interface

CSCud81011
Symptom: Sometimes the fman_aom_cce traceback is seen.
Conditions: This symptom is observed only with certain configurations
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCud86039
Symptom: ASR1K router that is running the NAT with a keyword oer in the NAT overload mapping
can cause disruption to the NATted sessions when the PfR feature changes the exit link.

configuration can result in this condition.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCud86240
Symptom: The ASR1K ESP crashes (ucode core file created) when compressed packets are sent on
a Multilink PPP interface using IOS XE 3.5 and earlier ASR1K software images. On IOS XE3.6 and
later ASR1K software images a crash does not occur, but routed traffic on configured interfaces are
not forwarded. But, local traffic between the peer routers can be forwarded. In all releases, routed
traffic will be dropped on any other interfaces (for example, PPP, Multilink PPP, HDLC, and so on.)
configured for this mode of compression.
Conditions: The issue occurs if the legacy IOS compression feature compress [mppc | stac |
predictor] is configured on any interface (for example, PPP, Multilink PPP, HDLC, and so on.). If
this feature is configured on a Multilink PPP interface then the ESP crash can be encountered if
using an IOS XE3.5 or earlier ASR1K software image.
Workaround: Remove the compress [mppc | stac | predictor] feature configuration from all
interfaces as this functionality is not supported on the ASR1K. The software fix associated with this
bug report will be removing this configuration option from the ASR1K.

CSCud88366
Symptom: Kingpin: plim tx drop if gi0/0/0 is used as tunnel source physical interface.
Conditions: The issue occurs when Gige interface as SVT tunnel source interface and 4K QoS policy
is applied to 4K SVTI tunnel.

Conditions: The issue occurs when an ACL is configured for both IPv4 and IPv6 in a policy-map
and when the policy-map is attached to an interface or control-plane.
Workaround: Use IPv4 ACL and IPv6 ACL in a same class-map with match-any.

CSCud92596
Symptom: When traffic is sent with VLAN2 tag between two ixia ports through ASR1004 as below.
After executing the command show controller, input vlan errors can be found and the counter
increases without any packet drops. It is also found that when show interface command is executed,
the value of input errors counter under related interface is 0
Conditions: There is no known condition for this symptom.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCud92837
Symptom: Symptom: The aggregation-type prefix-length of PfR cannot be configured to less than
16. If so, the number of learned prefix will be much less than what it must be.
Conditions: The issue occurs when PfR is enabled.
Workaround: It is better to configure the aggregation-type prefix-length of PfR to greater than 24.

CSCud92879
Symptom: Symptom: The current session for control plane is too small.
Conditions: The issue occurs during the basic GTPv1 configuration, and GTPv1 traffic.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCue00726
Symptom: There is no functional impact to the system performance, warning messages will be seen
only during initialization of the router and there are no security concerns on these units: *Dec 16

Symptom: Non-HDLC traffic (Non standard, but customer defined traffic) coming through HDLC
interface gets dropped by ASR1K.
Conditions: Normal L2TPv3 configuration.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCue33171
Symptom: The command show platform software memory chunk qfp-control-process qfp active
shows that there are memory leaks from CPP STILE Server CTX Chunk. There are three cases of
this memory leak:
Case 1: When NBAR is active, there is a leak of 40 bytes every 10 seconds.
Case 2: When NBAR is active, there is a leak of 60 bytes every 10 seconds.
Case 3: When NBAR is not active, there is a leak of 20 bytes every 10 seconds.
Conditions: Case 1 is observed when the router is running an image with a version prior to 15.3(1)S.
Cases 2 and 3 are observed when the router is running version 15.3(1)S or later.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCue34315

This section documents the unexpected behavior that might be seen in Cisco ASR 1000 Series
Aggregation Services Routers Release 3.8.2S.

CSCtq81245
Symptom: SPA-4XCT3/DS0 reloads after performing an fp reload.
Conditions: 1. Issue is seen on a single fp system 2. Issue is seen when serial interfaces are
configured on the SPA.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCuc47356
Symptoms: Static routes are not getting removed.
Conditions: This symptom is observed with Smap - Smap. Removal of CLI does not remove the
static route.
Workaround: Remove the ACL before removing the SA.

CSCuc65049
Symptoms: Routing might not be in accordance with the performance routing policy even when
NBAR classifies packets correctly.
Conditions: This may occur after reloading a Performance Routing (PfR) configuration onto the
router.
Workaround: When links between routers are defined by OSPF (Open Shortest Path First), the
problem does not occur. Use the recommended PfR configuration, using OSPF, to define peers for
each border router.

CSCud14945
Symptom: IPv4 IP Security (IPSec) tunnel bring up time is longer in the dynamic crypto-map
deployment.

Caveats in Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers Release 3.8.2S

Conditions: This symptom is observed on a Cisco ASR1000 series router that functions as an IPSec
termination and aggregation router.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCud24378
Symptom: Traffic rate verification fails after QoS configuration changes.
Conditions: On QoS configuration changes, after re-adding the p-map on tunnel.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCud64870
Symptom: DMVPN hub ASR1004 may crash after the fetching CRL from MS CRL server.
Conditions: The crash occurs when there are 5 CDPs for the hub router to fetch the CRL. Since there
are multiple CDPs, the hub router fetches the CRL in a parallel way, which leads to a crash under a
timing issue.
Workaround: Setting up one CDP instead of multiple CDPs will avoid the timing condition that leads
to the crash.

CSCud77549
Symptom: CPPOSLIB-3-ERROR_NOTIFY error messages are reported while trying to configure
the inspect policy for the ZBF in ASR1K.
Conditions: ZBF config, good number of entries in the ACL maps under the class-map
Workaround: Reload the ESP and remove the ACL entry that is creating the issue.

CSCue48456
Symptom: Call is disconnected after CUBE sends BYE to both call legs.
Conditions: Occurs on a video call where a mid-call re-INVITE occurs to modify the media stream.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCue50255
Symptom: ucode crashes at REM_REM_MISC_ERR_LEAF_INT_INT_REM_POP_REQ_TO_EMPTY_SCHE
Conditions: on flapping multilink interfaces
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCue51375
Symptom: The dynamic monitor is populated with incorrect records and the performance monitor
cache incorrectly includes encapsulated traffic.
Conditions: This issue might occur when a GRE tunnel output interface is configured with a
performance monitor on an ASR1000 series router, and the output physical interface from which the
packets are transmitted is configured with a native FNF monitor.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCue53207
Symptom: A record that contains certain derived fields (listed below) may be punted incorrectly to
the route processor (RP) and lost.

Caveats in Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers Release 3.8S
OL-26698-16

Caveats in Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers Release 3.8.2S

Conditions: Records can collect derived fields; calculating derived fields is dependent on the
values of other fields. The fields listed below are incorrectly defined as derived and dependent on
other fields. When a record contains one of these fields and does not include its dependent fields,
the record is punted to the route processor (RP) to complete the record processing. Punting these
records might lead to record loss.
Workaround: When configuring a monitor to collect one of the fields listed below, collect each of
the dependent fields also. The list indicates the dependencies:
connection delay application sum is dependent on:

connection delay response to-server sum


connection delay network to-server sum
connection server response sum
connection delay application min is dependent on:

connection delay response to-server min


connection delay network to-server sum
connection delay application max is dependent on:

connection delay response to-server max


connection delay network to-server sum
connection delay response client-to-server sum is dependent on:

connection delay response to-server sum


connection delay network to-server sum
connection server response sum
connection delay response client-to-server min is dependent on:

connection delay response to-server min


connection delay network to-server sum
connection server response sum
connection delay response to-server sum
connection delay network to-server min.
connection delay response client-to-server max is dependent on:

connection delay response to-server max


connection delay network to-server sum
connection server response sum
connection delay response to-server sum
connection delay network to-server max

CSCue80506
Symptom: Traceback at DMVPN Spoke registration, DMVPN QoS policy not deployed to QFP

CSCuf04726
Symptom: With IPsec (crypto-map mode) configured, after VFR disable followed by ASR reboot,
the no ip virtual-reassembly-out CLI is lost and VFR is re-enabled.
Conditions:
1. Apply crypto map on the interface.
2. Manually disable VFR with the no ip virual-reassembly-out command.
3. Save config.
4. Reload.
Workaround: After reload, again disable VFR with no ip virual-reassembly-out.

CSCuf20409
Symptom: Netsync customer seeing clock in ql-failed state on one ASR-2ru.
Conditions: The issue occurred when distributing stratum 1 clock source through its network.
Workaround: If both SPAs are in the same slot, do not send the secondary config.

CSCuf43548
Symptom: When POS Rx fiber at the tail end of the MPLS TE FRR is pulled, the FRR takes longer
than 200 ms to cut over to the other Tunnel.
Conditions: This happens with POS MPLS TE FRR, when head end receives remote defect due to
rx fiber pull at the tail end. Remote defects wont trigger FRR quickly.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCuf50092
Symptom: Flow Around is not working with a 3.8 CCO image.
Conditions: This issue is seen only on 3.8 CCO image and not in 3.8 throttle pull image.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCuf61531
Symptom: Under load condition with contact-center call flows, some calls might be disconnected
unexpectedly. ASR CUBE is sending unexpected BYE for a single call for VZ call flow
Conditions: Load of 40 CPS in a contact-center flow, multiple SIP messages with DSP, and
call-block feature.
Details: VZ business call flow, where multiple mid-call re-invites with insertion and deletion of
transcoder in the call. Call block is enabled, so no mid-call changes are sent over ISP network.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCuf65404
Symptom: A call fails if the transcoder is needed for DTMF interworking and vcc offer-all is
configured.
Conditions: CUBE reserves the transcoder for codec mismatch and releases the transcoder, since the
codecs are identical. But dtmf still requires the transcoder for interworking.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCuf65537
Symptom: Crash with Verizon contact-center call flow.
Conditions: Crash is observed with CAC configs & 40 cps call rate:

CSCug04450
Symptom: PfR fails to control traffic-classes when the subnet mask is greater than the prefix length.
Conditions: The issue is seen either with the default prefix length or when the prefix length is
configured.
Workaround: Configure aggregation-type as BGP instead of prefix-length.

CSCug08561
Symptom: After a Web logon, the user does not get a Web logon response page sent by the portal.
If the Web logon is successful, the user is not redirected to the Web address specified. Instead, the
user is redirected to the portal for authentication.
Conditions:
1. Walkby feature is enabled with L4R & PBHK features applied to lite session.
2. User initiated the Web logon request.
Details: Upon a Web logon, an account-logon COA request is triggered from the portal to ISG. In
ISG, the request triggers conversion of the lite session to a dedicated session. During the conversion,
lite session and its associated resources (L4R and PBHK mappings) are removed from PD, and the
dedicated session gets provisioned. Once conversion is done, ISG replies to the portal with COA
ACK/NACK. Based on the response from ISG, the portal generates a Web logon response-page
(SUCCESS/FAILURE) and sends it back to the client.
But when the response packet reaches ISG, it does not get classified to the downstream session
(because PBHK & L4R mapping were deleted). As a result, the packet is dropped in ISG.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCug12997
Symptom: The ASR 1004 router crashes with:
CPPHA-3-FAULT: F0: cpp_ha: CPP:0.0

Symptom: ASR router might start using new SPIs before quick mode exchange finishes. This causes
invalid SPI messages on the receiver side and, in some cases, flap of IKE/IPsec.
Conditions: First seen on IOS XE 15.2(4)S with DMVPN.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCug28249
Symptom: The ASR1004 crashes on ESP when enabling NAT. In both of the cores, the packet in

Symptom: Router deops ESP packets with CRYPTO-4-RECVD_PKT_MAC_ERR.
Conditions: Peer router sends nonce with length 256Bytes
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCug34822
Symptom: ESP might crash.
Conditions: While running clear ip nat translations * after the forced removal of a NAT mapping.
Workaround: Before removing any NAT mappings, run clear ip nat trans *. And do not use the
forced option when removing a NAT mapping. The following is an OK example:
ip nat inside source list 1 pool pool1 overload

CSCug37490
Symptom: VA leak is seen when removing and reapplying a virtual template from the ISAKMP
profile and clearing the crypto session. This results in a stale VA that is up, down and cannot be
cleared.
Conditions: When making changes to a virtual template under the ISAKMP profile with client
session UP-IDLE (Phase 1 only, as no VT exists).
Workaround: Reload.

Release 3.8.2S.

CSCtc17240
Symptom: Some third party SIP PBXs may have interoperability problems with the authentication
header of a Cisco SIP gateway.
Conditions: Per RFC 3261 section 25.1, the nc value, or nonce-count, should have lower case hex.
This is defined as follows:
nonce-count = "nc" EQUAL nc-value
nc-value = 8LHEX
LHEX = DIGIT / %x61-66;lowercase a-f

A snippet of the offending message:


... cnonce="305EE7FF",qop="auth",algorithm=MD5,nc=0000000A

Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCtg13667
Symptom: Packet_Too_Big (type 2, code 0) and Destination Unreachable Administratively
is not sent back if packets are hitting MTU checking or ACL deny on egress
interface.
(type 1, code 1)

Conditions: Issue is observed on ASR1000 running 15.0(01)S code.


Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCts83413
Symptom: While configuring Classic Netflow (and possibly Flexible Netflow) for export of records
to a user-specified VRF, occaisionally user configuration can get out of sync or invalid. In such a
case, the QFP Processor does not have the same VRF information as the IOS config. This results in
Netflow export not working.
Conditions: When this was observed, probably multiple cycles of VRF configuration as well as
multiple cycles of Netflow export destinations had taken place. The endpoint was that the IOS config
was to export to a particular VRF (VRF "BLUE" for example), while the QFP processor had a
configuration to export to the default VRF. Thus the configuration was out of sync and Netflow
export did not function.
Workaround: Unconfigure the Netflow export destination and to reconfigure it.

CSCtv93326
Symptom: Inconsistency between IOS CLI and platform state with regard to flow record
configuration on the router. Reporting of Mediatrace statistics may fail, with the following error
reported on the Mediatrace Initiator device: Metrics Collection Status: Fail (19, No
statistic data available for reporting)

Conditions: This is a Flowdef modify event as a result of event consolidation. It can occur in the
following scenario: 1. Detach the flowdef associated with a monitor. 2. Change the flowdef (add /
delete fields). 3. Re-attach the flowdef to the monitor. For the Mediatrace symptom, the problem can
occur when a route change occurs for the traffic being monitored.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCtw74598
Symptom: Call Menu (CM) tone may be detected and suppressed in the following call Flow:
Modem - - [FXS] - - VG224 - - [MGCP] - - CUCM - - [SIP] - - CUBE - - [SIP] - - PSTN Modem
connected to the VG224 places an outbound call to a destination in the PSTN. CM tone from the
originating modem gets removed by the VG224. To verify the symptom, enable "debug voip hpi
notification" and you would see a line "MODEM CM tone detected" in the debug output.
Conditions: SIP trunk provider does not support NSE based modem passthrough and hence VG224
was not configured with "mgcp modem passthrough".
Workaround: 1. Configure the FXS port as a non-mgcp port, disable fax relay and sg3-to-g3
suppression commands at the voip dial-peer level : dial-peer voice 99920 pots no service mgcpapp
port 2/0 dial-peer voice 4001 voip destination-pattern 4001 session protocol sipv2 session

Symptom: IKEv2 CERTREQ payloads exchanged by initiator and responder both contain all
trustpoints and trustpools. This enhancement request is for limiting the size of the CERTREQ
payload based on the configuration (global for responder, IKEv2 profile for initiator).
Conditions: None.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCua78782
Symptom: Authentication of EzVPN fails.
Conditions: The symptom is observed with BR-->ISP-->HQ.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCub06422
Symptom: Call flow: PSTN---pri---Voice Gateway---sip---SIP server After running fine for 6-7
days, then 100% of the calls through the voice gateway fail. On a call that comes in through the PRI,
INVITE is sent with m=audio 0. Then, on getting 200 OK from the other end, the gateway disconnects
the call.
Conditions: Router up and running for 6-7 days.
Workaround: Reload the router.

CSCub19185
Symptoms: Path confirmation fails for a SIP-SIP call with IPV6 enabled.
Conditions: This symptom occurs when UUTs are running Cisco IOS Release 15.2(2)T1.5.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCub35268
Symptom: Call dropping issue was found while testing new network based features on AT&T's
FlexReach network. The features are network-based Simultaneous Ringing and Sequential Ringing.
Conditions: The following is the behavior for Simultaneous Ringing: 1. Hopon call from PSTN to
7323204351 2. Both Phone 2 (7323204351) and Phone 3 (7323204350) ring 3. Phone 3 is answered,
but immediately drops 4. Phone 2 stops ringing (I see CANCEL from AT&T for this call-id) 5. PSTN
caller continues to hear ringback tone Per the attached trace, CUBE fails to send a 200 OK with SDP
in response to AT&T's re-INVITE to open up the voice channel. For Sequential Ringing: 1.
HOPON from 4085271217 (Phone 1) to Phone 3 (7323204350) 2. Note the INVITE has media
attribute codec pref 18 0 100 ; INACTIVE 3. CUBE sends 100 Trying then 180 Ringing 4. Phone
rings ~3X then call is cancelled by AT&T side by sending SIP CANCEL message 5. CUBE
acknowledges by sending 200 ok followed by 487 Request Cancelled 6. AT&T sends INVITE to
Phone 2 (7323204351) with media attribute codec pref 18 0 100 ; INACTIVE 7. CUBE sends 100
Trying then 180 Ringing 8. Upon answer - CUBE sends 200 ok with no codec pref in media
attribute 9. AT&T sends re-INVITE - with no SDP 10. CUBE sends 100 Trying 11. AT&T sends

tone Again, per the attached trace on Sequential Ringing, CUBE fails to send a 200 OK with SDP
in response to AT&T's re-INVITE to open up the voice channel. Per AT&T, their side might be
sending the BYE because CUBE sends its initial 200 OK with SDP but no codec preference. (refer
to Sim. Ring Trace).
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCub53856
Symptom: On ASR1K and related platforms, when configuring a Flow NetFlow (FNF) Performance
Monitor with a record that has a large number of fields (typically 30 or more), the following
traceback may be observed at the time that the Service Policy is bound to the interface:
%FNF-3-FNF_FIELD_LIST_TOO_LARGE: Field_list too large, max 32.

Conditions: Configuring a Performance Monitor, typically with more than 30 fields, and binding it
to an interface via a Service Policy.
Workaround: Reduce the number of fields. Using fewer than 30 should work, although it does
depend on the exact fields in the record.

CSCub63208
Memory corruption detected in memory, when allocated for RTCP statistic
Symptom: An error occurs when CALL_CONTROL-3-STAT_MEMORY_CORRUPTED: Memory
corruption detected in memory=XYZ allocated for RTCP statistic.
Conditions: This condition is occurs when call involves trans-coding.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCub86827
Symptom: To enable CFA to 918079611, then press 'CFwdALL' softkey and enter any 4 digit
number, then enter 918179611 and press end. After this we will be able to see "Forwarded to
918179611" on Phone.
Conditions: This condition is observed when SRST mode is configured with after hours.
Workaround: Remove the after hours configuration .

CSCub98357
Symptom: A Cisco router running IOS-XE release 3.6.0S, IOS release 15.2(4)M or newer may
reload.
Conditions: This condition is observed during key exchange with OCSP disable nonce configured.
Workaround: Disable 'ocsp disable-nonce'.

CSCuc12685
Symptom: Address Error exception is observed with ccTDUtilValidateDataInstance.
Condition: This symptom is observed with ccTDUtilValidateDataInstance.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

OL-26698-16

Caveats in Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers Release 3.8.2S

Conditions: This symptom occurs when:


The ASR1001 IOS is upgraded from 03.05.02 or older to 03.06.00 or later.
The IOS is downgraded from 03.06.00 or later to 03.05.02 or older.

Workaround: Without this fix: Do a license save from 3.4 before the upgrade and re-install in 3.6 in
34, save all the licenses to a file to bootflash 1RU#license save <file location> in 36 , install back
all the licenses from the file 1RU#license install <file location>.
With this fix: To avoid this, customers have to create a file in the bootflash called
1RU_34_36_ENFORCE_LICENSE_MIGRATION to enforce the migration of all the licenses
before the upgrade process. The file will be removed automatically after the license migration.
For example: 1RU#license save bootflash:1RU_34_36_ENFORCE_LICENSE_MIGRATION
For the routers, which are already experiencing this issue, customers can either try to reinstall the
licenses or downgrade to 34, create the file in bootflash and upgrade with 36 or later image with
this fix again.

CSCuc39418
Symptom: When IKE sends KEY_MGR_CLEAR_ENDPT_SAS during initial contact, IPSec sends
KEY_ENG_DELETE_SAS.
Conditions: on performing SSO in spoke.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCuc40912
Symptom: Stale objects are seen on RP SWO.
Conditions: Delete IPv6 VRF tunnel that have FNF configured and then do rpswo.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCuc42518
Symptom: Cisco IOS Unified Border Element (CUBE) contains a vulnerability that could allow a
remote attacker to cause a limited Denial of Service (DoS). Cisco IOS CUBE may be vulnerable to
a limited Denial of Service (DoS) from the interface input queue wedge condition, while trying to
process certain RTCP packets during media negotiation using SIP.
Conditions: Cisco IOS CUBE may experience an input queue wedge condition on an interface
configured for media negotiation using SIP when certain sequence of RTCP packets is processed.
All the calls on the affected interface would be dropped.
Workaround: Increase the interface input queue size. Disable Video if not necessary.

CSCuc46087
Symptoms: CUBE does not send a response to an early dialog UPDATE in a glare scenario.
Conditions: This symptom occurs when CUBE receives an early dialog UPDATE when it sends
200OK to INVITE and expects ACK.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCuc49319
Symptom: An INVITE that contains a Replaces: header and also a parameter in the Request URI
will be responded to with a SIP 481 Call Leg/Transaction Does Not Exist. The transfer that was the
trigger of the INVITE with the Replaces: header will fail to complete.
Conditions: This was seen on CUBE when handling a triggered INVITE during a REFER based
transfer.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCuc51076
Symptom: The Reason: header in a SIP BYE may not be consistently passed from the incoming
call-leg to the outgoing call-leg.
Conditions: This was seen on CUBE running 15.1(4)M through 15.2(4)M1.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCuc59979
Symptom: The ASR drops the original media stream before the mid call is acknowledged. After the
FAX negotiations fail, the ASR does not return/continue to the original media characteristics.
Conditions: Voice to Fax switchover and remote end point do not support fax, so it responds with
488. CUBE does not update call type to voice after 488.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCuc62078
Symptom: Call Flow: 9971 ---- SIP ---- CUCM ---- SIP ---- CUBE ---- SIP ---- Provider
Issue: Provider does not support video codecs, as soon as an INVITE with video codes in the SDP,
provider is disconnecting the call. The customer wants to use Video capability for internal calls and
when external call is made, is requesting if they can strip the Video attributes from SDP going in the
INVITE to provider.
Conditions: Created voice class sip-profiles 1000 and applied under the outgoing dial-peer to
provider. Voice class sip-profiles 1000 request INVITE sdp-header Video-Attribute remove request
INVITE sdp-header Video-Media modify "m=video(.*)" request INVITE sdp-header
Video-Bandwidth-Info remove Before applying the profile, below is the snippet of SDP rcv on
CUBE: After applying the profile, the SDP is like below:
v=0 o=CiscoSystemsSIP-GW-UserAgent 1127 4805 IN IP4 10.59.0.6 s=SIP Call c=IN IP4
10.59.0.6 t=0 0 m=audio 17800 RTP/AVP 8 101 c=IN IP4 10.59.0.6 a=rtpmap:8 PCMA/8000
a=rtpmap:101 telephone-event/8000 a=fmtp:101 0-15 a=ptime:20 c=IN IP4 10.59.0.6.
To remove the third c= line, tried the below under sip-profiles: not working as expected: request
INVITE sdp-header Video-Session-Info REMOVE***Trying to add this line, to see if it will make
any difference, however show run, displays Video-Session-Name request INVITE sdp-header
Video-Connection-Info REMOVE***Trying to add this line, to see if it will make any difference,
however show run, displays request INVITE sdp-header remove.
Workaround: If the customer does not have a requirement to have video for external calls, then much
better option is to disable video at CUCM only for external calls. This can be done on CUCM by the
following ways:

1.

Create a new region on CUCM with video disabled.

2.

Keep the SIP trunk to CUBE in that new region.

3.

This way, internal calls can still have video, and there won't be any video coming to CUBE for
external calls.

CSCuc63246
Symptom: Call Flow: PSTN->PRI->Voice GW->SIP->CUCM->IP phone. During an active call
between PSTN and IP phone (non-secure), if the IP phone user presses the Hold key for second time
call gets disconnected. Hold and Resume for the first time works fine. MOH server is using SRTP.
Also, if the IP phone used is secure (SRTP), then call will not get disconnected; no matter, how many
times the user presses the Hold and Resume keys. Customer has mixed mode cluster.
Conditions: When audio session between IP phone and VG is RTP and then the Hold key is pressed
for the second time. The MOH uses Secure RTP.

4519C30 45196A9 4778FFD. After the reload from the crash, it may take sometime before it crashes
again.
Conditions: This symptom occurs when CUBE receives the SIP REFER message with the Refer-To
header having no user part.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCuc71379
Symptom: An incoming INVITE that is received by CUBE with a Replaces: header will dropped
that Replaces if the outgoing INVITE must hunt through multiple outbound dial-peers.
Conditions: This was seen on CUBE in a SIP to SIP configuration running 15.2(4)M1.10
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCuc71735
Symptom: A CUBE running the anti-trombone feature might fail to return SIP SDP contents in a
200 OK message on the original, incoming call leg if the outbound leg failed and was retried.
Conditions: This was seen on CUBE running 15.2(4)M1.10 when handling calls for a SIP proxy in
a "proxy-on-a-stick" type configuration (i.e. incoming / outgoing call legs all go through one
CUBE).
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCuc76298
Symptoms: In ASR B2B HA setup, the new active router crashes at ccsip_send_ood_options_ping
immediately after switchover with OOD OPTIONS enabled.
Conditions: This crash is seen in the following scenarios:
Standby router has OOD OPTIONS enabled either because it is present in startup configuration

or enabled after boot-up.


Disable OOD OPTIONS.
When Switchover happens.

Workaround: Reload standby router once after OOD OPTIONS configuration changes from enabled
to disabled.

Conditions: This symptom occurs when voice-class busyout is configured and the controller TEI
comes up before the monitored interface.
Workaround: Remove the voice-class busyout configuration from the voice-port.

CSCud19536
Symptom: In AVC for IOS XE 3.8, a short downtime is experienced after modifying the AVC
configuration.
Conditions: The symptom is observed when removing the media filters on the class-map, thus
allowing more traffic to reach the monitor.
Workaround: Leave the configuration as-is, or do not broaden the media filters.

CSCud24483
Symptom: Dialling FAC (Feature Access Codes) in the On-Hook state and then going Off-hook
causes the phone to dial the last called number (Redial Operation).
Conditions: This symptom occurs when FAC (Feature Access Codes) Standard or Custom is
configured.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCud37099
Symptoms: When SIP KPML digits are being received by SIP-GW, they are not consumed even
though it is configured to consume those KPML digits. This does not cause the remote endpoint to
hear unwanted DTMF tones.
Platforms: All platforms supporting SIP-TDM GW functionality, which includes ISR-G2 series and
VGxx series routers.
Conditions: Whenever SIP-GW negotiates KPML and receives KPML digits from SIP side.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

Conditions: srtp-rtp interworking enabled.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCud52658
Symptom: IKEv1 CERTREQ payloads exchanged by initiator and responder both contain all
trustpoints and trustpools.
Enhancement: This enhancement request was for limiting the size of the CERTREQ payload by not
sending trustpools. Benefits:
1. The maximum number of trustpoints that can be sent in a CERTREQ payload are 20. But if
the user configures more than 15 trustpoints, IKE would fail because of failure to build the
CERTREQ payload (16 trustpoints + inbuilt trustpools > 20).
2. There was a substantial risk for Non-SUDI-enabled devices when authenticating
SUDI-enabled devices. This would occur when the non SUDI device has the Cisco
Manufacturing Root CA certificate either built-in or downloaded to the device's trustpool.
Unless an IKE profile is used, the non SUDI device sends the Mfg CA cert to its peer in the
CERTREQ payload.
If the peer is a SUDI device it might send the SUDI chain in the CERT payload in response.
This would result in the device successfully authenticating the peer certificate even though no
other trust was configured.

CSCud60977
Symptom: CRL file is not deleted when CS server is unconfigured manually by no crypto pki

CSCud66669
Symptom: On a 7200 router, the tunnel establishes fine. Encryption and Decryption happens just
fine too. However, after decryption, the packet is not punt to the ivrf in which the tunnel interface
resides, leading to a broken IPSec DataPath.
Conditions: 7200 with VSA - Tunnel (GRE/mGRE) in an iVRF with Tunnel protection
configuration where the iVRF should not be equal to fVRF.
Workaround: Since this issue is not found in 150-1.M9 124-24.T8, downgrading might be an option.
Otherwise, there is no known configuration related workaround yet, although software crypto will
work just fine.

Symptoms: The LSMPI Tracebacks errors are seen while clearing IP routes multiple times.
Conditions: This symptom is observed under the following conditions:
Configuring OSPF
More than 1000 OSPF neighbors, which fragments OSPF LSU packets.
Run clear ip ospf process *. OSPF sends an LSU packet, which triggers the LSMPI Tracebacks

error message.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

Workaround: The only workaround available is to not do an RP switchover. However, if you do go


ahead with an RP switchover and end up in the inconsistent state noted above, you can perform one
of the following actions to bring the router back to a consistent state on the newly active RP.
Save the running configuration to NVRAM and reload the new RP.
Alternatively, if the system has dual FPs, then perform two FP switchovers successively:

1. Switch over from active FP to standby FP using redundancy force-switchover FP.


2. Switch back from standby to active using the same command.

CSCue69075
Symptom: BDI interface stops forwarding the traffic.
Conditions: This symptom is observed when there is a loop in data path.
Workaround: Recreate the BDI interface.

CSCue71410
Symptom: Console corruption is seen sometimes when the punt keepalive packet drop happens
during bootup of the router.
Conditions: This symptom is observed when punt keepalive packet is dropped and other console
activity is going on at the same time.
Workaround: Punt keepalive messages can be disabled in the config, but it is not a recommended
setting as it can mask punt failures.

CSCue72258
Symptom: A Cisco ASR1000 series router cannot forward specific size of packets via L2TPv3
tunnel.
Conditions: The problem occurs only when the ping size is 1501-1503.

CSCue76134
Symptom: With NAT dynamic route-map configuration and HA, lower pool allocation is displayed
on the standby.
Conditions: With NAT dynamic route-map configuration and HA, you sometimes see a lower pool
allocation on the standby compared to the active. This could be caused by DNS traffic going through
the boxes.
Workaround: Perform the following:
1. clear ip nat trans *
2. Turn off DNS ALG on the both active and standby boxes, if possible.
3. no ip nat service dns tcp no ip nat service dns udp

CSCue82511
Symptom: The traffic-classes keeps switching between the Border Routers and PfR fails to
converge.

3.8.1S
This section documents the unexpected behavior that might be seen in Cisco ASR 1000 Series
Aggregation Services Routers Release 3.8.1S.

CSCtv93326
Symptom: Inconsistency between IOS CLI and platform state with regard to flow record
configuration on the router. Reporting of Mediatrace statistics may fail, with the following error
reported on the Mediatrace Initiator device: Metrics Collection Status: Fail (19, No
statistic data available for reporting)

Conditions: This is a Flowdef modify event as a result of event consolidation. It can occur in the
following scenario: 1. Detach the flowdef associated with a monitor. 2. Change the flowdef (add /
delete fields). 3. Re-attach the flowdef to the monitor. For the Mediatrace symptom, the problem can
occur when a route change occurs for the traffic being monitored.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCua68587
Symptom: cvCallVolConnActiveConnection.sip MIB count does not match what is seen on the CLI.
Conditions: This symptom is observed with the Cisco ASR 1006 running Cisco IOS XE Release
3.6.0S or Cisco IOS Release 15.2(2)S with the asr1000rp2-adventerprisek9.03.06.00.S.152-2.S
image.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCub17971
Symptom: No re-registration after switching from hardware to software crypto engine.
Conditions: As per the plan, registration should happen after switching from hardware to software.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCub19185
Symptoms: Path confirmation fails for a SIP-SIP call with IPV6 enabled.
Conditions: This symptom occurs when UUTs are running Cisco IOS Release 15.2(2)T1.5.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCub53856
Symptom: On ASR1K and related platforms, when configuring a Flow NetFlow (FNF) Performance
Monitor with a record that has a large number of fields (typically 30 or more), the following
traceback may be observed at the time that the Service Policy is bound to the interface:
%FNF-3-FNF_FIELD_LIST_TOO_LARGE: Field_list too large, max 32

Conditions: Configuring a Performance Monitor, typically with more than 30 fields, and binding it
to an interface via a Service Policy.
Workaround: Reduce the number of fields. Using fewer than 30 should work, although it does
depend on the exact fields in the record.

CSCuc12685
Symptoms: A router has an unexpected reload in SIP code.

OL-26698-16

Caveats in Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers Release 3.8.1S

Conditions: This symptom is observed with Cisco IOS Release 15.1(4)M4.

Workaround: There is no workaround.


CSCuc27517
Symptom: The permanent license disappears after an IOS upgrade or downgrade.
Conditions: ASR1001 IOS upgrade from 03.05.02 or older to 03.06.00 or later IOS downgrade from
03.06.00 or later to 03.05.02 or older.
Workaround: Install permanent license again.

CSCuc42518
Symptom: Cisco IOS Unified Border Element (CUBE) contains a vulnerability that could allow a
remote attacker to cause a limited Denial of Service (DoS). Cisco IOS CUBE may be vulnerable to
a limited Denial of Service (DoS) from the interface input queue wedge condition, while trying to
process certain RTCP packets during media negotiation using SIP.
Conditions: Cisco IOS CUBE may experience an input queue wedge condition on an interface
configured for media negotiation using SIP when certain sequence of RTCP packets is processed.
All the calls on the affected interface would be dropped.
Workaround: Increase the interface input queue size. Disable Video if not necessary.

CSCuc58527
Symptom: Mac flush does not happen properly with events like Interface shut/noshut or BD
shut/noshut.
Conditions: This symptom is observed when the mst root priority on R-l2gp config is changed to
make the other PE to become root.
Workaround: Use the old CLI format.

CSCuc73993
Symptom: High packets per second (PPS) in single flow traffic may reduce overall system
performance by 90%.
Conditions: Occurs when there is a very high PPS value in single flow traffic, and when NBAR is
enabled.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCuc76298
Symptom: In the ASR B2B HA setup, a new active router crashes at ccsip_send_ood_options_ping
immediately after a switchover with OOD OPTIONS enabled.
Conditions: This crash is seen when a standby router has OOD OPTIONS enabled either because it
is present in the startup config or enabled after the bootup. When you disable the OOD OPTIONS,
the switchover happens.
Workaround: Reload standby router once after OOD OPTIONS config changes from enabled to
disabled.

CSCuc93739
Symptom: Phase 2 for EzVPN client with split network and VTI does not come up if IPSEC SA goes
down.

Caveats in Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers Release 3.8S
OL-26698-16

27

Caveats in Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers Release 3.8.1S

Conditions: The root cause of the issue is that IPsec SA is not being triggered after IPsec SA is down
due to no traffic. This causes IPsec SA to not come UP in spite of the traffic, leading to packet drops
in client network. The same problem is not seen with 150-1.M7. This behavior is seen post-PAL
where virtual-interface creates a rule set where traffic cannot trigger IPsec SA again once IPsec SA
is deleted.
Workaround: 1. Configure ?ip sla? on EZVPN client for split networks, so IPsec SA will not go
down. 2. Remove ?virtual-interface? from EZVPN client profile if that is not needed. The problem
is not seen in 152-4.M1 without virtual-interface.

CSCud14945
Symptom: IPv4 IP Security (IPSec) tunnel bring up time is longer in the dynamic crypto-map
deployment.
Conditions: This symptom is observed on a Cisco ASR1000 series router that functions as an IPSec
termination and aggregation router.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCud19536
Symptom: In AVC for IOS XE 3.8, a short downtime is experienced after modifying the AVC
configuration.
Conditions: The symptom is observed when removing the media filters on the class-map, thus
allowing more traffic to reach the monitor.
Workaround: Leave the configuration as-is, or do not broaden the media filters.

CSCud50029
Symptom: TX drops seen on LSMPI driver show platform software infrastructure lsmpi driver. The
reason for the TX drops (sticky):
Bad packet len
: 0
: 0
No skbuff

Bad buf len


: 0
Bad ifindex
: 0
No device
: 0
Device xmit fail : 663 <<<<< ......

Conditions: Counter increase due to large control packets.


Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCud64870
Symptom: DMVPN hub ASR1004 may crash after the fetching CRL from MS CRL server.
Conditions: The crash occurs when there are 5 CDPs for the hub router to fetch the CRL. Since there
are multiple CDPs, the hub router fetches the CRL in a parallel way, which leads to a crash under a
timing issue.
Workaround: Setting up one CDP instead of multiple CDPs will avoid the timing condition that leads
to the crash.

CSCud66669
Symptom: On a 7200 router, the tunnel establishes fine. Encryption and Decryption happens just
fine too. However, after decryption, the packet is not punt to the ivrf in which the tunnel interface
resides, leading to a broken IPSec DataPath.
Conditions: 7200 with VSA - Tunnel (GRE/mGRE) in an iVRF with Tunnel protection
configuration where the iVRF should not be equal to fVRF.
Workaround: Since this issue is not found in 150-1.M9 124-24.T8, downgrading might be an option.
Otherwise, there is no known configuration related workaround yet, although software crypto will
work just fine.

Release 3.8.1S
This section documents the resolved issues in Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers
Release 3.8.1S.

CSCtx59316
Symptom: A packet punt to RP due to incomplete adjacency gets processed by CoPP. This makes
the CoPP complex, as these punted packets are not directed to the system and requires the CoPP to
be opened up.
Conditions: This symptom is seen with 3.5.2S and similar releases and by current design.
Workaround: Change the CoPP to allow punted packets.

Symptom: Remote loopback messages under show interface and show controller output are not
set correctly.
Conditions: Remote loopback configuration.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCub50695
Symptom: Netflow data may be fragmented when using IPv6 exporter.
Conditions: 1. IPv6 exporter is used. 2. A large amount of data are exported at once.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCub57913
Symptom: The memory of ESP is exhausted.
Conditions: This symptom is observed when you use the show platform hardware qfp active
feature pfr command a number of times.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCub74272
Symptom: Intermittently during Phase II rekey, after new SPIs are negotiated and inserted into SPD,
old SPIs are removed and then the VTI tunnel line protocol goes down.
Conditions: This symptom is observed with Cisco IOS Release 15.2(3)T, with VTI over GRE.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCub78299
Symptom: Ping fails from host1 (192.168.1.2) to host2 (192.168.4.2).
Conditions: This symptom is observed when Suite-B is configured on IPsec sa.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCub83071
Symptom: Traceback is observed during RP switchover with mediatrace configuration, since SSO
is not supported by mediatrace.
Conditions: Configure mediatrace. Perform RP switchover twice.
Workaround: Remove mediatrace configuration before running RP-switchover. Add mediatrace
configuration on new active RP. Or, If traceback occured, remove mediatrace configuration and
reapply it.

CSCub86791
Symptom: The maximum active memory for NBAR flows will exceed the maximum allowed
memory.
Condition: This symptom is observed on the 1RU platform with XE3.8 installed. The maximum
flows are set to 750000, but the traffic contains flows higher than 750000.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCub89144
Symptom: The VTI tunnel is always in up/up state.
Conditions: This symptom is observed when HSRP failover is configured on the HSRP standby
router only. This issue was first seen on the Cisco ASR router, but it is platform-independent and is
seen on the latest Cisco IOS Release 15M&T and later releases as well.
Workaround: Use GRE or routing protocols for redundancy.

CSCub98177
Symptom: ASR1K as LAC running IOS XE RLS3.5.2 may disconnect PPP session by TermReq
without visible reason, each time in show pppoe stat incrementing SSM DISCONNECT.
Conditions: This symptom is observed in SSO mode, with RP switchover.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCuc00658
Symptom: Unable to ping direct connected peer ip address.
Conditions: 1. Configure IP reassembly on sub interface. 2. Configure IPv6 reassembly on the same
sub interface. 3. No sub interface.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCuc05174
Symptom: ESP Crashes.
Conditions: Configuration results in exhaustion of CPP external memory.
Workaround: Ensure that the scale does not exceed supported configurations.

CSCuc08061
Symptom: IPv6 DMVPN spoke fails to rebuild tunnels with hubs.
Conditions: This symptom occurs when the tunnel interface on the spoke is removed and reapplied
again.
Workaround: Reboot the spoke.

CSCuc25529
Symptom: Static routes created by RRI are created with the wrong mask for subnet ACLS.
Conditions: This symptom is observed on an ASR1k and 7200 platforms running IOS 15.2(4)S and
15.1(4)M.
Workaround: Configure a static route to the remote network manually.

CSCuc30500
Symptom: The features NBAR, FNF (AVC), Seawolf (FME), and Lhotse (AppNav) may appear to

Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCuc32543
Symptom: Changes in the configured ppp multilink fragment size or fragment delay are not pushed
down to the data path for Broadband MLPPP sessions. This issue does not apply to MLPPP over
Serial connections.
Conditions: If ppp multilink fragmentation is enabled on a Broadband MLPPP bundle before the
bundle is established and the user later attempts to modify the fragment size or fragment delay, the
resulting fragment size changes are not pushed down to the data path (i.e. the original fragment size
configuration is retained). The IOS show ppp multilink command indicates that the new fragment
size was applied but in fact the new fragment size may not yet be active.
Workaround: After changing the fragment size or fragment delay configuration, restart the Multilink
PPP session. This can be accomplished via the clear ppp interface
<Bundle-Virtual-Access-intf-name> command.

CSCuc36469
Symptom: A crash is observed when you remove the crypto call admission limit ike
in-negotiation-sa <value> configuration and clear crypto sessions, which triggers a connection
from all the clients burdening the server and forcing it to crash within seconds.
Conditions: This symptom is observed only when 150 connections simultaneously try to establish
connection with the Head-end Ezvpn server.
Workaround: Ensure you always configure crypto call admission limit ike
when scaling to 150 tunnels.

CSCuc39469
Symptom: Unable to monitor the newly inserted 2nd Power supply in ASR1001.
Conditions: Insert the 2nd Power Supply to the up and running ASR1001.
Workaround: Ensure that all power supplies are inserted before booting up the ASR1001.

CSCuc41243
Symptom: PfR border router might get reloaded when PfR session flap is under session condition.
Conditions: PfR BR session flap is under session condition. This condition cannot be reproduced in
the lab.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCuc44071
Symptom: GRE keepalives go out unencrypted if the Tunnel interface is in up / protocol down state.
Conditions: ASR1k platform (reproduced on 3.4S through 3.7S) - GRE/IPsec using tunnel
protection - keepalives configured on GRE/IPsec tunnel - Tunnel interface in protocol down state
because of previously missed GRE keepalives - PIM configured on Tunnel interface - ip
multicast-routing distributed configured globally.
Workaround: Disable ip multicast-routing distributed (possible performance impact) or remove
PIM configuration from Tunnel interface. The GRE keepalives will be encrypted as long as there is
no CEF adjacency on the Tunnel interface when in protocol down state (i.e. no output from show
adjacency tunnel <number> detail command).

Symptom: sh pla so ob fp active pending-ack-update output hw dirty-bit has error.
Conditions: There are no specific conditions.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCuc65424
Symptom: On dual RP configurations, a standby route processor might crash when establishing new
interfaces (could be PPP sessions).
Conditions: This symptom is observed when IDB reuse is turned on on a dual RP configuration, and
when some interfaces are deleted and created again.
Workaround: Turn off the IDB reuse option.

CSCuc67116
Symptom: IPSec SA reset when sequence number rolls over back to 0 with anti-reply disable.
Conditions: OUT_OCT_DETECT_SEQ_OVEFLOW counter increase.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCuc70310
Symptom: RRI routes are not installed in DMAP. reverse-route is a configuration in the DMAP.
This prevents packets from being routed through the intended interface, and hence packet loss
occurs.
Conditions: This symptom is observed when a simple reverse-route is configured in DMAP without
any gateway options.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCuc70578
Symptom: While clearing the counters, the following error message is seen:
%IOSXE-3-PLATFORM: R0/0: kernel:

Caveats in Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers Release 3.8.1S

Conditions: This symptom is observed when there is very large PPS of single flow traffic, and when
NBAR is enabled.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCuc74857
Symptom: NAT address pool exhaustion with high DNS traffic.
Conditions: Payload addresses in DNS PTR record natted without active NAT bindings. RFC 2694
suggests that DNS PTR queries should not be translated if no active bindings are found in the NAT
translation table. Per current implementation, new NAT dynamic bindings are created when
processing DNS PTR queries, eventually contributing to NAT address pool exhaustion.
Workaround: 1. Add deny ACL to avoid NAT translation of unknown payload addresses in the DNS
PTR query. 2. Turn off dns alg service if possible.

CSCuc76130
Symptom: IPsec SAs are not getting deleted even after removing ACL.
Conditions: This symptom occurs when you use the IPsec feature with Cisco IOS Release
15.3(0.18)T0.1.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCuc76566
Symptom: The show platform hardware qfp active feature ess session command is supposed to
display a list of features enabled on each session. The status of the FFR feature is not displayed.
Conditions: It affects debuggability of mobility IP sessions on iWAG.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCuc77704
Symptom: The GETVPN/GDOI Secondary Cooperative Key Server (COOP-KS) does not download
the policy (that is, when the show crypto gdoi ks policy command is issued on the Secondary
COOP-KS and the command output shows that no policy is downloaded) and Group Members
(GMs) registering to the Secondary COOP-KS fail to register without any warning/error message.
Conditions: This symptom is observed when the GETVPN/GDOI group (with COOP configured)
has an IPsec profile configured with one of the following transforms in its transform-set: esp-sha256-hmac - esp-sha384-hmac - esp-sha512-hmac.
Workaround: Use esp-sha-hmac as the authentication transform instead.

CSCuc78499
Symptom: GTPv1 memory chunk leak.
Conditions: GTP AIC is configured.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCuc78702
Symptom: %NAT: VRF ID 2385 does not exist seen in the output of show run vrf .
Conditions: If a VRF is defined without configuring an address-family, then this message may be
displayed when the user issues a show running vrf command.
Workaround: The show command output is still valid. This has no impact on the functionality.

Caveats in Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers Release 3.8.1S

Symptom: Error %Port <> is being used by system. When configuring static nat with the same ports
for different IP addresses as shown below, you may see following error message: "%Port 1720 is
being used by system" :

ip nat inside source list IP_PBX_MP_NAT_ACL_PUB interface

Loopback12 overload

ip nat inside source list IP_PBX_MP_NAT_ACL_SUB interface

Loopback13 overload

ip nat inside source static tcp 161.92.7.42 1720 interface

Loopback12 1720 ip nat inside source static tcp 161.92.7.43 1720 interface Loopback13
1720. This issue occurs when you have NAT with overload statements configured before you
configure static NAT for ports.

Conditions: This symptom is observed when NAT with overload statements are configured first.
Workaround: Remove all NAT statements and configure static NAT before NAT overload. (You may
see the failure again at reload time since the commands are nvgenned with the overload command
first.)

CSCuc80725
Symptom: vfr subblock remains without displaying the ip virual-reassembly command.
Conditions: This symptom is observed when you enable NAT and no vfr, and re-enable vfr.
Workaround: Enable no vfr manually.

CSCuc81645
Symptom: Execute the show command and cpp crashes on overlord.
Conditions: None.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCuc81662
Symptom: ISR4451 Router doesn't boot properly. The slot F0 stays in init state.
Conditions: This symptom is observed just after a power cycle. This condition is rare and is seen
once every few hundred power cycles.
Workaround: Power cycle the router, a soft reload will not clear this issue.

CSCuc85002
Symptom: Unexpected logs printed in the console during configuration.
*Oct 17 06:54:50.711: %FMFP-3-OBJ_DWNLD_TO_CPP_FAILED: F1: fman_fp_image:

Conditions: This symptom is seen when the configuration includes dynamic PAT (port address
translation) with interface overload.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCuc85807
Symptom: In cases where MMON is activated on non-video UDP, traffic jitter values of certain
flows may have incorrect jitter values.
Conditions: Non video and/or UDP traffic is being injected to the MMON engine. It may also
happen to video traffic before it is classified as such (first few packets) - this is self corrective. This
is unlikely to happen since usually MMON is enabled on specific media flows.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCuc87847
Symptom: QFP crashes.

Conditions: Packets are replicated and field in_interface in pkt_state is invalid.


Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCuc88175
Symptom: When a dynamic cryptomap is used on the Virtual Template interface, SAs do not get
created and thus the testscripts fail. This issue occurs because the crypto map configurations are not
added to the NVGEN, and there is no security policy applied on the Virtual Template interface.
Conditions: This symptom is observed only when a dynamic map is used on the Virtual Template
interface. However, this issue is not seen when tunnel protection is used on the Virtual Template
interface or when a dynamic map is used on the typical physical interface.
Workaround: Use tunnel protection on the Virtual Template interface.

CSCuc89646
Symptom: When TCP SYN packet is sent with no MSS specified, the default value is set to 0, not
536, as on other platforms.
Conditions: TCP SYN packet is sent with no MSS specified.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCuc89800
Symptom: ESP crashes when it receives a for_us packet with multiple (thousands of) tunnel headers.
Conditions: This symptom is observed in a scenario where there are three routers, A, B, and C, and
there is a tunnel T1 between A and C. In router A, a PBR transmits the packets from B through T1.
In router B, a default route points to router A. Router A then transmits a packet through the T1
tunnel, encapsulated with a GRE header. When this packet arrives at router B, due to the flapping
of route between B and C, it is not sent to router C. Instead, it is sent to router A because router A
is the default route. When the packet arrives at router A, it is transmitted through the T1 tunnel again
encapsulated with another GRE header. This cycle continues and the packets are encapsulated with
thousands of GRE headers. Finally, when the route between B and C no longer flaps, it arrives at
router C, causing it to crash.
Workaround: Configure an ACL in router C's tunnel T1 interface, and deny the packet if it has an
inner header with the same src addr and dst addr with outer the header. But this workaround cannot
cover the scenario that has an attack packet encapsulated with multiple different tunnel headers.

CSCuc92567
Symptom: SIP may reload during MDR due to ESI reconciliation failure with active ESP.
Conditions: Extremely rare race condition.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCuc93053
Symptom: WCCP stops working after adding ZBF. We see a message of WCCP packets being
redirected but not leaving ASR.
Conditions: ASR with netflow anf ZBF enabled under the same interfaces.
Workaround: Disable netflow on all the interfaces.

CSCuc93807
Symptom: Metrics that require AOR are not accounted correctly. (for example: ART metrics,
packet/bytes counter and so on.)

Caveats in Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers Release 3.8.1S

Workaround: There can be two workarounds: 1. Move the deny entries before the permits when
possible (especially for deny ... host ...), but it still may not work in some situations. 2. Use different
redirect ACLs for each service, and remove the unnecessary ones for specific services.

CSCud06852
Symptom: T1 Controller will not be marked as DOWN when there are alarms after the RP
Switchover.
Conditions: RP Switchover.
Workaround: SPA Soft OIR.

CSCud06887
Symptoms: IPsec Stateful failover is configured between two routers. router 1 is chosen as Active.
router 2 is chosen as Standby. router 3 acts as the VPN end peer. A VPN tunnel is created between
the VIP of routers 1 and 2 and router 3. SPIs are replicated from Active (router 1) to Standby (router
2). After switchover from Active to Standby (done by reload of Active router 1), router 2 becomes
Active and takes over the VPN connection. Router 1 comes up after manual reload and then reloads
again by itself. When router 1 comes up after the second reload, SPIs are not replicated from Active
router 2.
Conditions: This symptom occurs when IPsec Stateful failover is configured on Cisco IOS Release
15.2(4)M1. This issue is seen when the HW crypto engine is enabled.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCud79391
Symptom: Some AVC functions (performance monitor and media-net) are missing from the
advipservices image. They are included only on the adventerprise image.
Conditions: After loading an advipservices image, some AVC functionality could not be configured.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCud12022
Symptom: The over-subscription of a SPA buffer causes a message to be logged; indicating packet
drops in the SPA.
Conditions: This issue occurs during re-configuration, flow-control is not set correctly on the ESP
and results in a broken flow-control on the interface that is re-configured.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCud14033
Symptom: Traceback appears and the packet is dropped with uRPF specific cause.
Conditions: This issue occurs when the uRPF and ACL configurations are removed and added while
the traffic is running, copy remove_config running and copy add_config running.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCud16127
Symptom: The CPC request message is passed by AIC and sent to another side.
Conditions: The issue occurs because of an invalid IMSI.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCud21578
Symptom: The ASR 1000 router with iWAG feature running Cisco IOS Release 15.1(3)S may fail
to establish a GTPv1 tunnel with ASR 5000 platform if MSISDN is not provided in the required
format, that is with leading 19.
Conditions: This failure occurs when the MSISDN in cisco-msisdn attribute from AAA server does
not have 19 as Numbering Plan Indicator and Nature of Address for GTPv1.
Workaround: Provision at AAA server to send MSISDN with first two digits as 19.

CSCud22437
Symptom: An ASR 1K might experience a watchdog crash due to a kernel panic. After viewing the
plaintext contents of the resultant kernel core file that is generated, iosd generates a watchdog
because of a soft lockup that prevents it from responding within 60 seconds: <3>BUG: soft lockup
- CPU#0 stuck for 61s! [linux_iosd-imag:26869]

Conditions: There is no particular condition.


Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCud24321
Symptom: The interface hierarchy gets corrupted during OIR such that subsequent reconfiguration
events lead to a system crash.
Impacted Platforms: ESP-100 and VXE-2, also known as Yoda platforms.
Not Impacted Platforms: All CPP10 platforms, that is, ESP-10, ESP-20, ESP-40, etc. It also does
not impact overlord and ultra
Conditions: The issue occurs when:
The FRF.12 P3 queue is not removed from the interface during OIR
The code assumes all features have been removed from the interface before the default queue is

removed.
The default queue is re-added while the P3 is already active and its sub-hierarchy is built on top

of the leaf node for the P3 queue. This causes the hierarchy to grow exponentially to a point
where programming the hardware fails.
Workaround: Removing the FRF.12 before OIR and reapplying it after OIR should work whether
done manually or through a script. However, it is unreliable in the real world where OIR could occur
due to swapping out one SPA for another unless the user remembers to disable FRF.12 before
swapping the SPAs.

CSCud24885
Symptom: When some drops are seen: FirewallInvalidZoneable.
Conditions: The issue occurs when the ASR with WCCP, ZBF, and netflow are configured at the
same time.
Workaround: Ping the destination on Cisco ASR1000 series router before introducing the WCCP
traffic.

Symptom: Packet drop may be observed during IP Security (IPSec) rekey.
Conditions: The issue occurs on a Cisco ASR1000 series router when it functions as an IPSec
termination and aggregation router, and when Internet Key Exchange version 2 (IKEv2) is used. The
packet drop, due to invalid SPI, may occur on responder router during rekey.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

Conditions: There is no particular condition.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCud40015
Symptom: The client or server IPs are interchanged in command sh serv-in statis conn on Peer ACs.
Conditions: The issue occurs when the client or server IPs are interchanged in CLI sh serv-in statis
conn on Peer AC's. When there are 4 AC's in an ACG and the context is up and operational, some
traffic is sent and only one AC owns that flow. If the command sh service-inse statis conn is
executed on the AC which owns the flow, it shows the right output. But when the same command is
executed on the other AC's the client and server IPs are interchanged.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

Caveats in Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers Release 3.8.1S

Conditions: The issue occurs when the MLPPPOLNS session is defined using a member link session
with multiple paths to the destination LAC through OSPF, if the member link session interface
changes after the session is active, a extended data forwarding outage may occur due to the OSPF
link change. Possible MLPPP member link session flap may also occur.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

Note

Currently, only per destination packet load balancing is supported.


CSCud47046
Symptom: No-way voice occurs after transferring external calls to an external recipient. The PBX
does a external transfer and uses a new transaction leg which indicates that media should be hair
pinned on the SBC, but no media is heard.
PBX(A)----SIP-----SBC(B)----SIP-----service-provider(C)

The following are the different Call Scenario:


PBX(A) user dials external party (towards C) the calls is answered.
PBX(A) user presses the conference/transfer key which places the call on hold. MOH is heard

by the external party.


PBX(A) user dials external party (towards c) and the call is answered.
PBX(A) user completes the call transfer.
The call transfer is completed, but no audio is heard, by either A or B.

Conditions: The issue occurs only when all of the below conditions happen together:
One side has nat enabled and rtp comes before sdp offer/answer is completed.
Four calls are modified to two hair pin call sets, that is two calls are hair pined.
Later call modification makes four calls hair pined together.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCud49494
Symptom: While receiving the udp fragmented packets, ESP is crashed with multicast service
reflect being configured.
Conditions: The issue occurs when the multicast service reflect is configured and udp fragments are
received in the VIF interface.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCud49777
Symptom: In a Flex scale setup, few of the framed routes do not get installed even though all the
sessions come up fine. As a result, traffic flow is affected.
Conditions: The issue occurs while clearing the crypto session on the headend. Sessions will be
triggered again from SVTI. For few of the sessions, framed route is not installed.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCud60014
Symptom: The control process crashes during reconfiguration on ESP100 or 1ruve2.
Conditions: The issue occurs during the reconfiguration such as adding a hierarchical policy to an
ATM, changing a class-of-service for an ATM VC, and so on, which results in a new scheduling
hierarchy.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCud61316
Symptom: The vTCP reset storm is observed in NAT/ALG back-to-back deployment.
Conditions: The issue occurs during the following conditions:
A TCP NAT session is established between two ASR1K.
Abnormal ALG packets are received from both the sides.
An additional TCP segment is received by ASR 1K after ASR1K sends out the TCP RST.

Workaround: Manually clear the affected NAT session.

CSCud66316
Symptom: Log messages for REJECT Create Session Response is not printed in sys-log.
Conditions: The issue occurs when the GTP AIC is configured in the UUT.

Conditions: The issue occurs when the fair-queue is removed from the class on-the-fly, the rates,
that is, bandwidth and shape, are no longer configured in the hardware.
Workaround: Remove the fair-queue class and re-add it without the fair-queue.

CSCud70243
Symptom: Some IPv6 subscribers fail to come up in a scenario in which there is a frequent session
churn.
Conditions: The issue occurs on an ASR 1K router, for IPv6 subscribers that have traffic classes
configured. It occurs when the sessions are torn down soon after coming up. It can also involve a
change to a session's complement of traffic classes shortly after coming up, but before being torn
down. A number of pending objects can register in the output of the show platform software
object-manager fp active statistics command.
Workaround: Remove the pending objects by performing an FP switchover on ASR 1K routers that
have two of them. Before performing an FP switchover, make sure that there are not any pending
objects on the standby FP. This can be determined by using the command show platform software
object-manager fp standby statistics. If the standby FP has pending object counts when the system
is in steady-state, it should be reloaded and checked for pending objects after it comes back. If the
new pending object counts reach is 0, then proceed with an FP switchover.

CSCud72509
Symptom: The ESP100 is crashed.
Conditions: The issue occurs when the NAT is configured, TCP segments size is larger then 26K,
ESP100, or 1002-X.
Workaround: Add no payload-option in the nat entry to disable all alg or disable a specific DNS
tcp alg by using the command no ip nat service dns tcp.

CSCud73594
Symptom: The MMA objects are not removed after policy detach. This is seen with the following
CLI command: show platform software object-manager fp active object-type-count | inc mma.
Eventually, this can lead to a failure in applying a Seawolf configuration.
Conditions: The issue occurs during the massive sequence of policy attach or detach operations.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCud73599
Symptom: No records are generated after several configurations.
Conditions: The issue occurs when there is a config replace or any other massive performance policy
configurations.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCud73600
Symptom: The FP is crashed.
Conditions: The issue occurs when the QoS is configured on physical interface which is bind to a
BDI interface. Stile is configured on the same BDI interface.

Stile is not supported on BDI interfaces and must not be configured on it.
CSCud73652
Symptom: Incorrect MMON/ART metrics reported and/or crash.
Conditions: The issue occurs in some rare cases, when:
Packets of the same flow are processed by FME on more than one interfaces.
FME processes from the second interface and continues further, ends due to some error (rare

case).
Workaround: There is no workaround

CSCud75024
Symptom: The ESP cpp_cp_svr process crashes, with the trace back pointing to the
cpp_ess_ea_ffr_entry_free function.
Conditions: The issue occurs during the session teardown.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCud77695
Symptom: The security policy is not downloaded to the data path correctly.
Conditions: The issue occurs on a Cisco ASR1000 series router when it functions as an IP Security
(IPSec) termination and aggregation router, and when IPv6 static crypto map with large Access
Control list Elements (ACEs) are configured within a single Access Control list (ACL).
Workaround: The issue can be avoided by:
Applying the IPv6 static crypto map with initial ACL containing less than 10 ACEs.
Adding the ACEs, one-by-one, into the ACL configuration.

CSCud78618
Symptom: Crash.
Conditions: The issue occurs when the iVRF is configured on the ike profile.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCud78649
Symptom: An error message SBC: SBC ^T^U^\V is not configured is printed when activating sbc.
Conditions: The issue occurs when the activate command is Run just after the command
media-address ipv4...
ASR-1001-CCN-7(config)#sbc test ASR-1001-CCN-7(config-sbc)#sbe
ASR-1001-CCN-7(config-sbc-sbe)#media-address ipv4 1.20.0.2 vrf vrfa
ASR-1001-CCN-7(config-sbc-media-address)#activate SBC: SBC ^A^T not configured.

Workaround: exit sbc, and enter sbc again, then Run the activate command.

CSCud79391

Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCud80832
Symptom: The ASR 1000 router can result in a ucode crash when the box is running NAT with oer
keyword and also running PfR.
Conditions: The issue occurs when the NAT is configured with the oer keyword on NAT mapping
and PfR is used for traffic optimization, doing a shut or no shut on a PfR external link also happens
to be the NAT outside interface, which can result in a crash if the traffic is flowing.
Workaround: Avoid doing a manual shut or no shut on the PfR external interfaces when running
with NAT. If you must do a shut or no shut, shut down the NAT inside the interface first, then do a
clean ip nat trans * and then shut the PfR interface.

CSCud86240
Symptom: The ASR1K ESP crashes (ucode core file created) when compressed packets are sent on
a Multilink PPP interface using IOS XE 3.5 and earlier ASR1K software images. On IOS XE3.6 and
later ASR1K software images a crash does not occur, but routed traffic on configured interfaces are
not forwarded. But, local traffic between the peer routers can be forwarded. In all releases, routed
traffic will be dropped on any other interfaces (for example, PPP, Multilink PPP, HDLC, and so on.)
configured for this mode of compression.
Conditions: The issue occurs if the legacy IOS compression feature compress [mppc | stac |
predictor] is configured on any interface (for example, PPP, Multilink PPP, HDLC, and so on.). If
this feature is configured on a Multilink PPP interface then the ESP crash can be encountered if
using an IOS XE3.5 or earlier ASR1K software image.
Workaround: Remove the compress [mppc | stac | predictor] feature configuration from all
interfaces as this functionality is not supported on the ASR1K. The software fix associated with this
bug report will be removing this configuration option from the ASR1K.

CSCud88366
Symptom: Kingpin: plim tx drop if gi0/0/0 is used as tunnel source physical interface.
Conditions: The issue occurs when Gige interface as SVT tunnel source interface and 4K QoS policy
is applied to 4K SVTI tunnel.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCud88517
Symptom: The system is out-of-service.
Conditions: The issue is observed on a Cisco ASR1000 series router when it functions as an IP
Security (IPSec) termination and aggregation router, and when more than 30 IPSec sessions are up
and running traffic.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCud90021
Symptom: An ASR1K running 03.06.00.S.152-2.S can crash due to a NAT bind age timing.
Conditions: This issue is a rare timing condition which is triggered by the RG infra toggle.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCud90142
Symptom: The GTPv2 drop counter increments, when actually, no messages are dropped.

Symptom: Cannot include "." in the variable name, used in header editor.
Conditions: The issue occurs always.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCud91920
Symptom: When configuring an ACL for both IPv4 and IPv6 in a policy-map, the policy-map does
not work properly.
Conditions: The issue occurs when an ACL is configured for both IPv4 and IPv6 in a policy-map
and when the policy-map is attached to an interface or control-plane.
Workaround: Use IPv4 ACL and IPv6 ACL in a same class-map with match-any.

CSCud92837
Symptom: The aggregation-type prefix-length of PfR cannot be configured to less than 16. If so,
the number of learned prefix will be much less than what it must be.
Conditions: The issue occurs when PfR is enabled.
Workaround: It is better to configure the aggregation-type prefix-length of PfR to greater than 24.

CSCud92879
Symptom: The current session for control plane is too small.
Conditions: The issue occurs during the basic GTPv1 configuration, and GTPv1 traffic.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

This section documents the unexpected behavior that might be seen in Cisco ASR 1000 Series
Aggregation Services Routers Release 3.8S.

CSCtr38540
Symptom: In the Cisco ASR 1001 Router, false temperature readings from the power supply similar
as the one displayed here, are reported:
June 18 03:36:37.700:%ENVIRONMENTAL-1-ALERT: Temp: Inlet, Location: P1, State:
Shutdown, Reading: 127 Celsius

Conditions: This is seen only on the Cisco ASR 1001 Router.


Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCua99781
Symptom: The ESP gets reloaded.
Conditions: This symptom is observed when you issue the clear crypto session command with the
4k IKEv2 IPv6 static crypto map tunnels and bidirectional traffic of 2Gbps 300B packets.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCuc74857
Symptom: NAT address pool exhaustion occurs with high DNS traffic.
Conditions: Payload addresses in DNS PTR record natted without active NAT bindings. RFC 2694
suggests that DNS PTR queries should not be translated if no active bindings are found in the NAT
translation table. Per current implementation, new NAT dynamic bindings are created when
processing DNS PTR queries, eventually contributing to NAT address pool exhaustion.
Workaround:
Add deny ACL to avoid NAT translation of unknown payload addresses in the DNS PTR query.
Turn off DNS ALG service if possible.

CSCud00613
Symptom: The physical interface goes down in the shutdown state when you load the configuration
on a Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Router.
Conditions: The IP address of default gateway under GTP should not overlap with any of the existing
interface configurations. If it does, the Cisco IOS software will shut down the interfaces that have
overlapping IP addresses. The iWAG creates a virtual interface based on the IP address provided
under the GTP or the APN default gateway configuration as follows:
gtp
apn 1
default-gw 192.168.10.1 prefix-len 16 <virtual-interface will be created with ip
address 192.168.10.1>

Workaround: If you configure similar interfaces, you have to unconfigure the entire GTP
configuration using the no gtp command, go to either the physical interface or the loopback
interface, perform a no shut action, and reconfigure the interface using the gtp command.

Symptom: The CPP traceback notifying monitor cannot be reserved.


Conditions: The issue was seen when the MMA policy, mediatrace policy, and one FNF monitor
were attached to an interface.
Workaround: If the FNF monitor is configured, only one policy may be attached on the interface and
direction. This should not exceed the following:
num_of_policies*5 + num_of_fnf_monitors > 10.

Release 3.8S
This section documents the resolved issues in Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers
Release 3.8S.

CSCsd20055
Symptom: The DHCP client is not installing a default route if the physical interface is assigned to
a Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) table.
Conditions: This symptom is not caused by any specific condition.
Workaround: Manually configure a static default route in VRF.

CSCso75347
Symptom: When the cable dhcp-giaddr policy strict command is configured on the Cisco CMTS,
the CPEs behind the CMs are expected to get the DHCPOFFER message with its source IP address
belonging to secondary IP Network Address range of the downstream cable interface in the CMTS.
Currently, the DHCPOFFER has the source IP address from the downstream's primary IP network
address range.
Conditions: The issue occurs when the cable dhcp-giaddr policy strict command is configured in
the CMTS cable downstream interface.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCsq83006
Symptom: When some port channels go down at the same time on a router, it can cause EIGRP SIA
errors.
Conditions: This symptom occurs with full mesh four routers that are connected via port channels.
Additionally, it occurs with over five routers that are connected via a partial mesh port channel.
Workaround: Use the following port-channel interface settings:
(config)# interface port-channel <port-channel-interface-number>
(config-if)# bandwidth <bandwidth-value>
(config-if)# delay <delay-value>

CSCsr03117
Symptom: The UDP direct-broadcast packets get dropped even if the ACL is configured to permit
this traffic.
Conditions: This symptom is not caused by any specific condition.
Workaround: Configure the ACL statement as permit ip X.X.X.X X.X.X.X host 255.255.255.255.

Symptom: Even if the MLPPP LFI is correctly configured on a multilink interface, the show ppp
multilink command continues to show interleaving as disabled.
Conditions: This symptom occurs when a Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregate Services Router has
PPP multilink interleave configured on the multilink interface on the multilink virtual template (for
broadband MLPPP).
Workaround: The show plat hard qfp act feat mlp data bundle <full-bundle-interface name>
detail command shows the correct status of the interleaving on the interface.

CSCsz65576
Symptom: One or more linecards may fail to boot in a Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregate Services
Router with an RP2 may occur, or an error with the EOBC. %CMFP-3-STANDBY_EOBC_LINK_ERROR:
F0: cman_fp: Standby EOBC link error detected.
Conditions: This symptom is only seen with certain combinations of RP2 and ESP10.
Workaround: There is no workaround, but the issue is not seen with an ESP20.

CSCtd43540
Symptom: A memory leak occurs at cdp_handle_version_info.
Conditions: This symptom is triggered by misbehavior of peer switch running Cisco IOS Release
12.2(46)SE that has been fixed in CSCsm63025. The symptom is observed with link flapping.
Workaround: Disable CDP on the flapping interface.

CSCtd54694
Symptom: A crash is seen when the show cdp neighbor port-channel no and the show cdp
neighbor port-channel no de? commands are executed.
Conditions: It is a rare timing issue.
Workaround: Use the show cdp neighbor and show cdp neighbor detail command to view both the
brief and detailed CDP information respectively as a workaround. Also, the show cdp neighbor
<interface type> no command can be used except when the interface type is port-channel.

CSCtd58886
Symptom: The CMTS crashes when the SNMP client enquires ifRcvAddressEntry that contains a
non-zero address of a GE interface in the SPA.
Conditions: This symptom is observed on a Cisco uBR10000 Router with a 5GE SPA that runs Cisco
IOS Release 12.2SCB or 12.2SCC with the following SNMP command:
getnext -v2c <cmts address> [community] ifRcvAddressStatus/ ifRcvAddressType.<ifIndex of
GE in SPA.non-zero address>
Workaround: Do not query this entry of the table since it does not exist.

CSCtg39957
Symptom: Spurious memory access occurs during the tspts_handle_rsvp_pathtail_events
function.
Conditions: This issue occurs when a PATH message without any session attribute object is being
received from the TE head end. Note that the Cisco IOS and Cisco XR routers always send the
session attribute object.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCtg47129
Symptom: Memory leaks are observed on the Cisco CMTS router when NAT is configured.

CSCth71093
Symptom: Routers that are configured to dump core to flash: or flash0: fail to dump correctly to
the 4GB compact flash card.
Conditions: This is observed in the exception flash all flash configuration.When you issue a
wr core command, it fails to dump the core files.
Workaround: Dump cores to the TFTP.

CSCti31463
Symptom: The Cisco IOS route does not store more than two classless static routes learned through
DHCP option 121.
Conditions: Current implementation supports only two static routes.
Workaround: Statically configure the routes.

CSCti62247
Symptom: If an IPv4 or IPv6 packet is sent to a null interface, a Cisco ASR 1000 Aggregation
Services Router does not respond with an ICMP or ICMPv6 packet.
Conditions: This symptom occurs with a prefix routed to the Null0 interface.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCtk15666
Symptom: Cisco IOS password length is limited to 25 characters.
Conditions: Cisco IOS password length is limited to 25 characters on NG3K products.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCto43670
Symptom: The Cisco ASR 1000 Aggregation Services Router crashes while running the show
running-config command after configuring the replicate route with forward-referenced VRFs.
Conditions: This issue occurs only when route-replicate configurations include forward-referenced
VRFs, that is, VRFs are not defined at the time of route-replicate configuration, and the replicate
route is configured using the topology subcommand of the global-address-family ipv4 multicast
command.
Workaround: Run the show running-config command after defining the forward-referenced VRFs.

CSCto73799
Symptom: Standby RP bulk synchronization modifies certain multiline commands in the process of
loading the active RP running configuration.
Conditions: Banner and refuse message commands that have the opening ^C on the command line
followed by some characters before the first new line and further input, can result in the standby
inserting an extra new line into the standby configuration between the ^C and the content that is
supposed to appear on the first line. The shell map and macro auto commands that have multiple
unmatched closing braces in their multiline input will be misread, such that the resulting command
is interpreted by the standby as invalid. If the active is configured to reload the standby on invalid
commands, the standby RP will be reloaded as a result.
Workaround: Format the commands in such a way that these conditions are avoided. If the chosen
formatting produces visible symptoms on the standby, adjust the formatting, save the configuration,
reload the standby and verify that the symptoms have been cleared from the standby's
running-configuration.

CSCto75838
Symptom: Opening client sockets to IPv4 addresses fail with an invalid argument error message.
Conditions: This issue only occurs with IPv4 sockets. IPv6 sockets work properly.
Workaround: Use the IPv6 client connections.

CSCto87436
Symptom: Under certain conditions, Cisco IOS devices may crash, and the following error message
appears:
%SYS-2-WATCHDOG: Process aborted on watchdog timeout, process = SSH Proc

Conditions: If an SSH connection to a Cisco IOS device is slow or idle, it may cause a box to crash
with an error message.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCtq24011
Symptom: Routers behave in a way similar to when a local-proxy-arp is configured on them and
perform a proxy-arp even for the systems in the same subnet.
Conditions: This issue occurs when the Cisco ASR 1000 Aggregation Services Router receives an
ARP request on an interface when the interface is not fully initialized, and the connected routes are
not added to the routing table yet. This causes the proxy-arp reply and wrong arp entry to freeze.
Workaround: Perform shut or no shut on victim and offender routers.

CSCtq64716
Symptom: The following warning message may be displayed during router boot even when the
server is defined: %RADIUS-4-NOSERVNAME
Conditions: This symptom is not caused by any specific condition.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCtq94843
Symptom: An IP prefix list entry exists even after unconfiguring the prefix list.
Conditions: This issue is seen when a prefix list that is the last one being configured is deleted by
deleting individual entries. However, the prefix list can still be displayed with show commands.
Workaround: Configure a new prefix list or an existing prefix list.

Symptom: The SNMP timers causes the Cisco ASR 1000 Aggregation Services Router to exit the
global configuration mode or prevents the console from entering the global configuration mode.
Conditions: Occurs when you copy and paste large configurations, particularly a large number of
VLAN configurations. The issue occurs without any SNMP configurations present.
Workaround: Perform the following workarounds:
Disable RMON.
If the configuration is huge, paste in multiple blocks.
Enable SNMP timers. Paste the required configuration when the timer callbacks have finished

executing.

CSCtr45978
Symptom: The Cisco IOS WAAS contains FTP or HTTP connections that are hung in the
CONN_ABORT state.
Conditions: If the Cisco ASR 1000 Aggregation Services Router is configured with Cisco IOS
WAAS, the FTP packets or real HTTP user traffic to web sites is through the WAN link.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCtr74577
Symptom: A traceback is seen at the coa_ha_proc_qos_template with lawful intercept using SNMP
on L2TP sessions.
Conditions: This issue is seen in the Cisco ASR 1000 Aggregation Services Routers that have been
configured for lawful intercept on L2TP sessions.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCtr96024
Symptom: A user is not notified about an error scenario relating to larger-than-allowed flow record
of type performance-monitor being used in a performance monitor policy. This is misleading
because the user may believe that the performance monitor policy is correctly attached to the desired
interface, but will find that the task of monitoring traffic is not working as expected.
Conditions:
The symptom is observed under the following conditions:
The Performance Monitor feature is being used on the Cisco ASR platform.
A flow record of the performance-monitor type, which contains more than the maximum

allowed fields, has been configured.


The user is referencing the performance-monitor type flow record in a performance monitor

policy that has been attached to an interface. The maximum number of fields allowed in a flow
record is 32 in the timestamp sys-uptime first and field timestamp sys-uptime last fields. If
the timestamp fields are absent, they are automatically added to the record. However, the total
number of fields should still be less than or equal to 32.
Workaround: Use a flow record of type performance-monitor having 32 or less fields.

CSCts00341
Symptom: While executing a CLI that requires a domain name lookup such as ntp server
server.domain.name, the command fails, and the following error message appears:
DNS is not resolved with dual RPs on ASR1k Translating server.domain.com ...domain
server (10.1.1.1). Standby doesnt support this command. Invalid input detected at
^ marker.

Condition: This issue is observed when a redundant RP chassis is operating on the SSO mode.
Workaround: Instead of using hostname in the command, specify the IP address of the host. In some
scenarios, this could cause the standby SUP to crash without a crash file. Remove the host names
that require DNS lookup and use their IP addresses instead.

CSCts02777
Symptom: Command attributes are sent multiple times in AAA command authorization and
accounting requests.
Conditions: Seen in Release 15.0(1)S when TACACS command authorization or accounting or both
are configured.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCts44393
Symptom: A Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Router crashes during a BGP stress test.
Conditions: This issue is more likely to occur when a large number of VRFs are repeatedly
configured and deleted.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCts46825
Symptom: The execution of the mtu command within XConnect submode can, under certain
preconditions, match and run in the interface mode due to a parser cache entry existing and being
previously used from the XConnect submode's parent mode (service instance mode).
Conditions: The problem is generic to the parser cache, although we have no externally reported
cases, and the preconditions are rare.The preconditions for triggering this issue include having
identical commands in both a configuration submode and a grandchild submode of that submode as
well, and then executing a sequence of commands that allow the system to create a cache entry for
the submode instance of the command (this is normal), and subsequently (by repeating the subject
command while in the child submode) learn that the child submode is a valid user of this same cache
entry, and then finally attempt the identical command from the grandparent submode where the
system thinks it can use the cache entry.
Workaround: Since the bug causes the command to execute in a mode other than the target mode,
that command's change needs to be reversed, and then, after executing the clear parser cache
command, you can repeat the command from the desired submode. Another workaround is to add a
few spaces to the end of the grandchild submode command before execution, to avoid the above
cache entry due to mismatched input.

CSCts52120
Symptom: Traceback found for PLATFORM_INFRA-5-IOS_INTR_OVER_LIMIT.
Conditions: RPSO.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCts54641
Symptom: Various small, medium, or big VB chunk leaks are seen when polling the EIGRP MIB
and during an SSO.
Conditions: This issue is observed when MIBs are being polled or duing an SSO.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

Symptom: A problem involving two SAF forwarders occurs, with one running EIGRP
rel8/Service-Routing rel1 and the other running EIGRP dev9/Service-Routing dev2. The
capabilities manager, a client of the service-routing infrastructure, advertises two services. When
forwarders are peering with the same release image, the services propagate between the forwarders
without any problems. However, when you run rel8/rel1 on one forwarder and dev9/dev2 on the
other forwarder, a third service appears in the topology table along with the SR database that was
not advertised. The problem cannot be re-created if both the forwarders are running an Cisco IOS
XE Release 3.4S or and Cisco IOS XE Release 3.5S image.
Conditions: This issue occurs when two SAF forwarders peer with each other using different release
versions of the EIGRP SAF forwarder.
Workaround: Make sure that each EIGRP SAF forwarder is using the same image release.

CSCts64346
Symptom: The bgp nexthop route-map command does not work with many IPv6 and IPv4 next
hops under IPv6 AFs.
Conditions: When the IPv6 Next Hop track is enabled by default, we need a way to filter some next
hops for not being tracked. The bgp nexthop route-map command does not work with many IPv6
and IPv4 next hops under IPv6 AFs.
Workaround: Disable IPv6 NHAT.

CSCts68626
Symptom: PPPoE discovery packets cause packet drop.
Conditions: The symptom is observed when you bring up a PPPoE session and then clear the
session.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCtt14747
Symptom: When you issue the shut or no shut commands on the APS active box, it triggers a
switchover, and VCs are not getting provisioned on the new inactive box.
Conditions: IMA interface of Ceop SPA for port mode cell relay.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCtt15090
Symptom: In an MVPN environment, the VRF Route Import Extended Community (RFC 6514) is
not getting attached to VPN routes.
Conditions: The Router BGP is configured before the MDT is configured on the VRF.
Workaround: Perform a soft clear.

CSCtt15472
Symptom: The following error message is displayed while the SPA is booting up during OIR in the
IMA PVP mode: SPA_PLIM-3-ERRMSG
Conditions: This issue is seen on the IMA interface of the CEOP SPA for the PVP mode cell relay
during SPA or line card OIR.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

Symptom: On the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Routers, when making changes to the ppp
multilink fragmentation size command on the virtual template, the resulting change is reflected in
the active bundles of the Cisco IOS software. However, the QFP does not reflect this change. The
MLPPP fragment size remains at the previous setting, potentially impacting the performance and
operation of the network.
Conditions: This issue occurs when the MLPPPoBB subscribers will have the ppp multilink
fragmentation size command set on the virtual template and its size value is altered.
Workaround: MLPPPoBB subscribers using a virtual template that is changed should be flapped to
pick up the new value.

Symptom: TCP half close fails on the server side.
Conditions: When you perform a TCP half-close session, it fails.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCtt45381
Symptom: Cisco IOS software contains a denial of service (DoS) vulnerability in the Wide Area
Application Services (WAAS) Express feature that could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker
to cause the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Router to leak memory or to reload. Cisco IOS
software also contains a DoS vulnerability in the Measurement, Aggregation, and Correlation
Engine (MACE) feature that could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause the router to
reload.
Conditions: An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by sending transit traffic through a router
configured with WAAS Express or MACE. Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities could
allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause the router to leak memory or to reload. Repeated
exploits could allow a sustained DoS condition.
Workaround: Cisco has released free software updates to address these vulnerabilities. This advisory
is available at the following link:

Symptom: Sessions do not come up while configuring RIP commands that affect the virtual template
interface.
Conditions: This symptom is observed if the Cisco ASR1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers
are configured as LNS. RIP is configured with the timers basic 5 20 20 25 command. Also, every
interface matching the network statements is automatically configured using the ip rip advertise 5
command. These interfaces include the loopback and virtual template interfaces too. On the Cisco
ASR1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers, this configuration causes the creation of full VAIs
that are not supported. Hence, the sessions do not come up. On the Cisco ASR 7200 Routers, VA
subinterfaces can be created.
Workaround: Unconfigure the timers rip command.

CSCtx02442

Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCtx05726
Symptom: While creating a bulk number of traffic engineering tunnel interfaces on the router with
the tunnel mpls traffic-eng exp-bundle master option, the standby route processor crashes.
Conditions: This symptom is seen with a specific set of configurations that have a large number of
tunnel interfaces (scale number 1000) followed by the creation of a large number of master tunnels
(scale number 1000). Copying such a configuration to the router causes this crash to occur on the
standby processor. The tunnel interfaces that are created at the beginning of the configuration are
added as members to the master tunnels in the later part of the configuration. During this phase of
creation of master tunnels and adding member tunnels, these tunnel interfaces go through a cycle of
create-delete-create. When such a configuration is being synchronized to the standby route
processor along with the resulting create-delete events, the standby processor crashes. This point at
which the crash occurs is random and occur during the configuration of any of the master tunnels.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

%IP-3- LOOPPAK: Looping packet detected and dropped - src=122.0.0.11, dst=121.0.0.11,
hl=20, tl=40, prot=6, sport=80, dport=57894

Conditions: This symptom is observed if the WAAS, NAT, and firewall are enabled.
Workaround: Disable the WAAS.

CSCtx40959
Symptom: The CPUHOG occurs.
Conditions: This issue occurs when the configuration comprising a mesh of 17 BGP routers, with
all the routers having network statements covering the IP prefixes on the 16 VLAN subinterfaces
that interconnect them. When the main interface on a given router is shut, all the subinterfaces also
go down, causing all the connected routes to be removed. This leads to the CPUHOG.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCtx42223
Symptom: The connection with an FRR client that is registered for a BFD session is lost after an
SSO. FRR cut-cover time is much more than 50 ms, which is not expected.
Conditions: This is observed after an SSO, when the FRR client is registered for a BFD session.
Workaround: Bring down the BFD session and configure it again.

CSCtx48753
Symptom: Higher memory usage with PPP sessions than seen in Cisco IOS XE Release 3.4 and
Release 3.5.
Conditions: This issue is observed with configurations containing PPP sessions. Such configurations
see up to 10 percent higher Cisco IOS memory usage than in previous images.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCtx49270
Symptom: A memory leak is observed when the Fast UDLD feature is configured on a router.
Conditions: The router must support UDLD, and the feature must also be enabled on the router using
the udld aggressive command. The UDLD can be enabled either on individual interfaces or
globally.
Workaround: The workaround is to not enable the Fast UDLD feature on the router.

CSCtx53391
Symptom: when the ... router is reloaded or when some interface flap events are executed.

Conditions: When a VC bundle is configured under the same interface that has PVCS with IPv6
addresses, the Ucode crashes due to adjacency-related issues. Note that this issue is seen only
intermittently.
Workaround: Avoid configuring PVCS with IPv6 addresses and bundles under the same main
interface.

CSCtx57146
Symptoms: SIP SPA goes out of service state in scaled sub=interface config (more than 2000
subinterface on single GigE port).
Conditions: While performing an ISSU between the iso1-rp2 and iso2-rp2 xe3.6 throttle images
after ISSU run-version, the SIP SPA goes out of service and needs a heavily scaled configuration.
This issue is observed when there are 2000 to 3000 subinterfaces on a single SPA and the following
limits are exceeded: overall dual stack VRFs per box; 2800 dual stack limit on interface: 1000.
Workaround: The issue is not seen in the following scenario:
1. Before performing a load version from RP0 (initial active), execute the show ipv6 route table |
inc IPv6 command.
2. Note down the number of IPv6 route tables in the system.
3. Perform a load version.
4. Wait for the standby to come up to Standby hot.
5. Enable the standby console from RP0 (active) asr1000#configure terminal. Enter the
configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. asr1000(config)#,
asr1000(config)#redundancy, asr1000(config-red)#main-cpu, and
asr1000(config-r-mc)#standby console enable.
6. Log in to the standby console and execute the asr1000-stby# show ipv6 route table | inc IPv6
command.
7. Note down the number of IPv6 route tables in the standby... If it is less than the number noted in
Step 2, wait for a few minutes and reverify until it reaches the number noted in Step 2.
8. Issue ISSU run version from RP0 (active).

CSCtx67028
Symptom: Tracebacks are seen during a traffic condition when DMVPN and WAAS Express are
configured.
Conditions: This symptom is observed while initiating an FTP session from the GW, where GW
DMVPN and WAAS Express are configured.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCtx68155
Symptom: Event is triggered as soon as configured and the show event manager policy registered
event-type timer-absolute commad shows the wrong time value.
Conditions: Epoch-to-UNIX time conversion overflows after GMT: Thu, 07 Feb 2036 06:28:14.
Also the timer_spec value passed to the timer is incorrect.
Workaround: Input of epoch value is limited to 2085978494(GMT: Thu, 07 Feb 2036 06:28:14)
value assigned to timer_spec value is corrected.

CSCtx74051
Symptom: While performing an ISSU downgrade, IPv6 flexible netflow monitors may be displayed.

OL-26698-16

Caveats in Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers Release 3.8S

Conditions: This issue occurs during a downgrade to Cisco IOS Release 15.2(1)S (Cisco IOS XE
Release 3.5). The monitors that are affected are those applied to IPv6.
Workaround: The Netflow code should capture packets, as expected, on Cisco IOS Release
15.2(1)S. However, a reboot of the device should be performed before saving the running
configuration because the affected configuration that is saved will be incorrect and will therefore
fail to work at startup.

CSCtx75190
Symptom: In a multihomed setup, set up the traffic as explained in the DDTS. When the end-to-end
traffic starts to flow smoothly, perform an RP switchover on ED1. Traffic from Ixia 3 to Ixia 1 and
Ixia 3 to Ixia 2 on odd VLANs (ED1 is the AED for odd VLANs) is dropped with
UnconfiguredMplsFia counters incrementing.
Conditions: This symptom is observed when you perform an RP switchover with a scaled OTV
configuration in a multihomed setup.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCtx80535
Symptom: The DHCP pool that is configured for ODAP assigns the same IP address to multiple
sessions.
Conditions: PPP users receive pool via Radius server. The pool is defined on the Cisco 10000 Series
Routers to use the ODAP. The ODAP receives the subnets from the Radius server correctly, and
assigns IPs to PPP sessions. However, sometimes, two users end up having the same IP address.
Workaround: Clear the two sessions sharing the same IP address.

CSCtx81562
Symptom: LBM gets dropped when validated the replied data activated on ASR1000
Conditions: This is seen when LBM is initiated with the validation flag.
Workaround: The issue has been fixed in CSCtx81562. However, even without the fix, the CFM
loopback can work without turning on the validation option as the workaround.

CSCtx81748
Symptoms: The occurance of a small amount of packet drops due to antireplay failure may be seen
when IPSec is configured.
Conditions: The packet drops may be seen either when the IPsec session brought-up or when the
lifetime of IPSec SA expires and a new SA is established
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCtx82538
Symptom: This DDTS has been raised to remove platform-specific macros.
Conditions: Platform specific macros are observed with CPU-specific checks. CPU-specific checks
should not be in PI code. Use of shims is required.
Workaround: Remove CPU-specific checks.

CSCtx86160

65

Caveats in Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers Release 3.8S

Conditions: This is seen on Cisco ASR1006 routers with12.2(33)XNF2c.


In some scenarios of SPA hardware insert or removal combined with RP switchover, the hardware
type string of interface stays at N/A. In some scenarios this is observed on both the standby RP and
the active RP.
Workaround: If only the active RP shows this message, single switchover is enough to recover. If
both the active RP and the standby RP show this message, a double switchover must be performed.

CSCtx88467
Symptom: Configuring CEM PW on T1 controller and unconfiguring them once they are up.
Memory leak is observed.
Conditions: If a CEM PW is up, only incremental memory leak will be observed @
dsensor_subblock_get_or_create.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCtx90571
Symptom: The following Traceback message is logged when you unconfgure a packet tracing:
%CPPOSLIB-3-ERROR_NOTIFY: F0: cpp_cp:

cpp_cp encountered an error.

Conditions: Configure and unconfigure packet tracing.


Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCtx92598
Symptom: The router crashes due to a low-memory condition caused by memory fragmentation. The
following error message appears:
Feb 10 05:59:21.874: %SYS-2-MALLOCFAIL: Memory allocation of 2372 bytes failed from
0x5E77FC9, alignment 8 Pool: Processor Free: 33888144 Cause: Memory fragmentation

Conditions: The router (seen on ASR 1000 RP2) that crashes will be an ingress PE for MVPN V6
with highly scaled configuration. PIM signaling, PIM SSM and data MDTS must be used in the core.
Example scaling numbers are 600 mvrfs and 16 data mdts, 100 routers per mvrf;

Note

This issue will not occur if c-router signaling is used instead of PIM. The crash may occur
in about 12 hours of running with the above configurations in a Cisco ASR1000 RP2 with
typical memory size of 2 GB or 4 GB.

Workaround: Perform one of these tasks:


Use smaller scaling numbers (much less than 600 movers, or 100 routes per mfr. or 16 data

mdse. per mfr. in core)


Use c-route signaling in the core. A large amount of PIM control frames in the core can be

avoided by using c-route signaling instead of PIM signaling.


Do not use data MDT; rely only on default. This also reduces the amount of PIM control frames

that arrive at the ingress PE having a larger memory (say 4GB) will not help avoid the issue; the
crash may happen after a longer duration.

CSCtx94353
Symptom: The following error message is displayed:

CSCtx97131
Symptom: To send a VSA in an authentication and accounting request, the following commands
have to be enabled:
Router(config)#radius-server vsa send authentication
Router(config)#radius-server vsa send accounting

With the DDTS, these commands are enabled by default. The VSA will then send the corresponding
authentication and accounting request.
Conditions: Router#sh run ? aaa Show AAA configurations l l Configuration with defaults
---- Router#sh run all | i radius-server

........ radius-server vsa send accounting

radius-server vsa send authentication.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCtx97298
Symptom: The unsupported command show ip accounting is still available.
Conditions: This symptom is not caused by any specific condition.
Workaround: Explicitly include or exclude command chains.

CSCty01237
Symptom: The following error message appears:
%OER_BR-5-NOTICE: Prefix Learning STARTED CMD: 'show run' <timestamp>

Conditions: This issue is seen under the following conditions:


If you configure PfR with a learn list, using a prefix list as a filter and enable learn.
If you use a configuration tool, script, or NMS that periodically executes the show

run<noCmdBold> on the MC over HTTP or through some other means.


Workaround: The following are the workarounds:
If you use the PFR Learn List feature, do not execute the show run command periodically.
If you use a monitoring tool that executes the show run command periodically, avoid using a

learn list configuration in PfR.

CSCty03745
Symptom: The BGP sends an update using an incorrect next hop for the L2VPN VPLS address
family, when the IPv4 default route is used or an IPv4 route to a certain destination exists specifically, a route to 0.x.x.x. For this condition to a occur, the next hop of that default route or a
certain IGP or static route is used to send a BGP update for the L2VPN VPLS address family.
Conditions: This symptom occurs when the IPv4 default route exists, for example, ip route
0.0.253.0 255.255.255.0 <next-hop>.
Workaround: The following are the workarounds:
Configure the next-hop-self for the BGP neighbors under the L2VPN VPLS address family, for

example, router bgp 65000 address-family l2vpn vpls neighbor 10.10.10.10 next-hop-self
Remove the default route or the static or IGP route from the IPv4 routing table.

CSCty37233
Symptom: A Layer 3 (routed) interface can be converted to a Layer 2 (switched) interface by
applying the switchport configuration command. If the interface was configured as a VNET trunk,
the VNET subinterfaces are deleted. Subsequently, if the switchport command is removed, the
VNET trunk configuration will reappear, but the VNET trunk will no longer be functional. When a
switchover is performed following the sequence above, the new active takes over as expected, but
when the old active reboots as the standby, configuration synchronization fails because the standby
attempts to create the VNET subinterfaces that no longer exist on the active. This results in an
ifindex-sync failure and a PRC error that causes the RP to go into a continuous reboot loop.
Conditions: The reboot problem will occur only on switch platforms with a redundant RP.
Workaround: Remove the VNET trunk configuration from an interface before converting it from
Layer 3 to Layer 2.

Symptom: WRED on PPPoE session does not match on DSCP/PREC with MPLS traffic.
Conditions: PPPoE get terminated on a Cisco ASR1000 Series Aggregation Services Router acting
as LNS. The L2TP circuit is actually MPLS switched out of the router. The policy map correctly
matches packets into the corresponding class, but WRED always has the packets matching the
WRED default class. The packets should match a DSCP or PREC value because the policy map is
on the session and not on the egress physical interface.
Workaround: If MPLS is removed from the egress L2TP tunnel interface, the packets are classified
correctly by WRED.

CSCty85926
Symptom: VC (VPLS/EoMPLS) will stay down with the following message when the show mpls l2

CSCty89777
Symptom: The committed Memory value of 96 percent exceeds the critical level of 95 percent
messages on the router console with a 4G CCN image.
Conditions: On a 16G router, IOSD gets 11G, leaving 5G to virtual instance and other Linux
processes. 16G is enough for real physical memory usage but smand is pretty conservative and it
counts virtual memory or allocated memory, which is different from the actually committed physical
memory. 3PA is added, that is, QEMU/CCN and 4G memory is preallocated and passed into the
guest regardless of whether the guest actually uses all of that memory. In such a situation, in this
situation where the virtual memory is large, but the real memory that is in use could actually be way
smaller.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCty91465

Symptom: The "snmp-server enable traps ISG-MIB" commnd is not shown in the running
configuration.
Conditions: This issue does not occur under a specific conditions.
Workaround: There is no workaround.
Further Problem Description: The "snmp-server enable traps ISG-MIB" command is not getting
nvgen. Therefore, a trap can neither be enabled or disabled from CLI.

CSCtz55297
Symptom: Credit allocation is not changed when sessions are changed from unauthenticated to
authenticated.
Conditions: The existing nonauthenticated session needs to be modified to authenticated session.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCtz55363
Symptom: In the Cisco ASR Series Aggregation Routers, changing the speed on the main interface
does not change the Delay (DLY) value for the earlier configured subinterfaces.
Conditions: This issue occurs when the subinterfaces configured.
Workaround: 1.)Reload the router. 2.)Reconfigure the subinterface.

CSCtz55923
Symptom: The TTL field of the IPv4 header is reset after routing through ASR1000 after reloading
the router.
Conditions: NAT configuration along with 'no ip nat service dns-reset-ttl'.
Workaround: Remove and readd the no ip nat service dns-reset-ttl command configuration after
reloading the Cisco ASR1000 Series Aggregation Services Router after all the cards are in an 'OK'
state.

CSCtz55969
Symptom: Changes to a custom profile are reflected in the actual packet transmission rates.
Conditions: Video with a custom profile
Workaround: Remove the corresponding profile, and create a new one with the required changes.

CSCtz56671
Symptom: An ACL is applied for filtering within a classmap for shaping traffic. When you try to
resequence the ACL, the class map DB is not populated with new sequencing, and that causes a
crash.
Conditions: ACL resequence that should be used within class-map
Workaround: Do not use resequencing, or remove and re-add the same after resequencing.
Further Problem Description: ip access-list resequence <ACL #/name> followed by either a no
<ACE #> or a no <ACL #/name>. The crash occurs inside the MDB and the root cause of this
crash is that the sequence numbers stored in the MDB are out of sync with the sequence numbers
stored in ACL. Therefore, when the no ACE # command is issued, the MDB tries to delete that ACE
from its tree, but never finds it and gets stuck in a loop.

CSCtz58037
Symptom: The router crashes after Shut no shut and OIR commands.
Conditions: The issue occurs when the router is configured with the cfm one up mep command and
the cfm down mep command with trunk EFP.

CSCtz58941
Symptom: The router crashes when users execute the show ip route XXXX<noCmdBold>
command.
Conditions: This symptom is seen during the display of the show ip route XXXX output, when the
next hops of networks are removed.
Workaround: Use the show ip route command without x.x.x.x.

CSCtz59615
Symptom: The IPv6 route does not get installed in the IPv6 VRF routing table.
Conditions: This symptom is seen in a RADIUS Framed-IPv6-Route.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCtz61556
Symptom: ATM local switching segments do not come up after changing the encapsulation on both
interfaces.
Conditions: This symptom is seen in ATM VC local switching. If the encapsulation on both the ATM
VC segments are changed, the segments remain in DOWN state.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCtz61599
Symptom: After adding the performance-monitor policy map under the port channel interface, it
continuously displays the information that Port-channel1 has more than one active member link:
it-wan-agg5-14(config)#int port-channel 1
it-wan-agg5-14(config-if)#$performance-monitor input PERF-MON-port-channel
it-wan-agg5-14(config-if)#$performance-monitor output PERF-MON-port-channel
it-wan-agg5-14(config-if)# Port-channel1 has more than one active member link
Port-channel1 has more than one active member link

Conditions: This symptom is observed after the performance-monitor policy map is added under the
port channel interface.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCtz63421
Symptom: Dynamic update of the encapsulation tag to Single Vlan on Trunk EFP Configured
interface must not be allowed.
Conditions: 1. Configure range of VLANS in Encap tag on trunk efp interface. 2. Change
Encapsulation dynamically from range of Vlans to single Vlan encap tag. 3. Check running Configs
of Trunk interface.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCtz63699
Symptom: In some scenarios, the VRRP "owned" address state is not correctly represented within
the "default" VRRS pathway. Additionally, there are various scenarios in which "owned" address
conflict checking is not correctly carried out.
Conditions: These symptoms are only exhibited when a user is using an "owned" address within the
VRRP group. An "owned" address is a VRRP virtual address that is equal to one of the addresses
configured on the interface.

Caveats in Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers Release 3.8S

Workaround: Use a unique VRRP group address that does not conflict with any of the interface
addresses or another address within the same VRF.

CSCtz63968
Symptom: The dialer pool is removed from the Ethernet interface.
Conditions: Crashes occur after the timer expires for PADI. It seems the session was not cleared
properly.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCtz64836
Symptom: The debug redundancy idb-sync-history command does not work.
Conditions: The "debug redundancy idb-sync-history" command does not work.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCtz65370
Symptom: When performing an RP switchover with a large number of DMVPN sessions (> 3K),
ESP40 may reload.
Conditions: The issue occurs during an RP switchover with many DMVPN sessions.
Workaround: Clear the IPSec sessions before performing an RP switchover.

CSCtz67151
Symptom: The IP SLA responder process causes high CPU utilization.
Conditions: Configuring a permanent address in the IP SLA responder before enabling the responder
can cause High CPU utilisation. To recreate, perform the following configs: in responder ip sla
responder no ip sla responder ip sla responder udp-echo ipaddress A.B.C.D port XXXX
To recover from high cpu, ip sla responder no ip sla responder udp-echo ipaddress
A.B.C.D port XXXX

Workaround: Ensurethat you enable the responder before programming the permanent addresses, or
do not use the permanent addresses.

CSCtz67726
Symptom: Single probe ID is not permitted on the ip sla group schedule command. Entering the
same as probe ID under the ip sla group schedule command in the format of the ID is acceptable
but this will be displayed as a single probe ID on the running configuration.
Conditions: This issue is seen while using a single probe ID under the ip sla group schedule
command.
Workaround: Use the ip sla schedule command for the single probe ID.

CSCtz67785
Symptom: The Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Routers may experience a CPP crash.
Conditions: This symptom occurs when the router is configured for the Session Border Controller
(SBC). During periods of high traffic, FP reports a lot of media up events to the RP, which can cause
the RP to crash.
Workaround: If the ip nbar protocol-discovery command is enabled, it may exacerbate the crashes.
Removing it may help provide some stability.

Symptom: NHRP packets received from a DMVPN tunnel using tunnel protection are dropped on a
Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Routers when the VRF-Aware Service Infrastructure (VASI)
interface is configured and the IPSec traffic is traversing the VASI interface. This only happens
when using VASI in combination with tunnel protection on the tunnel interface. The NHRP packets
are decrypted correctly, but are dropped at the tunnel interface, and the drop counter shows the
following drop reason:
show platform hardware qfp active statistics drop | e _0_.*_0_
------------------------------------------------------------------------- Global
Drop Stats

Packets

Octets

------------------------------------------------------------------------UnconfiguredIpv4Fia 6734

Conditions: The issue occurs when the VASI interface configuration is used for Tunnel protection.
Workaround: 1) Use a dynamic crypto map on the physical interface. However note that this may
cause issues with the spoke behind NAT. 2) Disable VASI, if possible.

CSCtz69986
Symptom: The ESP free memory of the ASR 1000 Series Aggregate Services Routers slowly
decreases over time (~ 7MB per day).
Conditions: This symptom occurs when the WCCP is configured on the interfaces.
Workaround: There is no workaround, unless the WCCP interface configuration is removed.

CSCtz70973
Symptom: The Cisco ASR1002-X Router or ESP100 may reload unexpectedly.
Conditions: The issue is typically observed when a large number of interfaces are present.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCtz71084
Symptom: When the prefix from the CE is lost, the related route that is advertised as best-external
to RR by the PE does not get withdrawn. Even though the BGP table gets updated correctly at the
PE, the RIB continues to have a stale route.
Conditions: This symptom is observed in a topology where CE0 and CE1 advertise the same
prefixes:
CE0------------------PE0---------------------RR
|
|
CE1------------------PE1----------------------|

|
|

Workaround: Hard clear.

CSCtz71087
Symptom: Multiple outside global addresses are assigned the same outside local address.
Conditions: This issue occurs in a outside dynamic mapping configuration, when running ALG
traffic hitting the dynamic mapping, multiple outside global addresses are assigned the same outside
local address.
Workaround: Clear the ip nat translation * command.

CSCtz71208
Symptom: On a Cisco ASR1000 Series Aggregation Services Router, once the error
CPP_FM-3-CPP_FM_TCAM_ERROR is seen, the only way to recover TCAM is to reload the router.
Removing the configuration leading to TCAM exhaustion is not enough.

Caveats in Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers Release 3.8S

Conditions: This is seen after the TCAM is exhausted. This bug pertains only to recovery from
exhaustion, not the exhaustion itself. For information about the latter, that, please see CSCtz33305.
Deny Statements could exhaust the TCAM entries.
Workaround: Reload the router.

CSCtz73450
Symptom: Multiple <CR> options for the snmp-server enable traps mac-notification change
move threshold" command results in the following error message:
Ambiguous command.

Conditions: When trying to configure the snmp-server enable traps mac-notification change
move threshold command, the parser fails to process the command properly and results in an
Ambiguous command message.
Workaround: The user may turn on the snmp-server enable traps mac-notification change move
threshold command along with other traps by configuring snmp-server enable traps and then
removing the other unwanted commands. But the user will be unable to remove the commands from
the configuration for the same reason that prevents it from being configured.

CSCtz74060
Symptom: The show platform hardware qfp active feature ess state command does not display
output.
Conditions: The output is displayed in XML format during ISSU sub-package downgrade from
XE3.7.0 to lower releases on 4RU. The output is displayed normally after the upgrade. This
condition does not have an impact on the functionality.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCtz74310
Symptom: Although there are no visible symptoms, if someone tries to configure Netsync on a
Maverick or CEOP_24xT1E1, it will not work. Netsync is not a supported on Maverick and
CEOP_24xT1E1.
Conditions: This symptom is not caused by any specific condition.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCtz74315
Symptom: The Metronome SPA is not supported on Kingpin.
Conditions: The Metronome SPA fails to come up on Kingpin chassis.
Workaround: There is no workaround.
Further Problem Description: The Metronome SPA is not supported on Kingpin. The Netsync
feature is supported on hybrid SPA.

CSCtz74685
Symptom: A router crash is observed on Y1731 DM.
Conditions: This symptom is seen when the 1DM session is started.

Conditions: When using static FRR configuration and disabling the backup route, shut down the
remote vlan interface of the primary path, and then wait for the ARP entry to be removed from
ASR1000 Series Aggregation Router after the ARP timeout.
Workaround:
Method 1: Configure the static ARP entry.
Method 2: Provide a valid backup route. Method 3: Do not use static FRR.

CSCtz75371
Symptom: When the router is configured with script, the BFD sessions remain inactive. If the same
configuration is run manually, the BFD sessions come into the UP state.
Conditions: This issue occurs only when the bug is reproduced with the script.
Workaround: There is no workaround.
Further Problem Descriptions:
1. The inactive sessions come into the active state when the test client is registered or deregistered
with BFD manually.
2. This issue appears to be a timing-related issue.
3. Further investigation depends on the availability of the test bed.

CSCtz75380
Symptom: A Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Router sends malformed RADIUS
packets during retransmission or failover to a secondary RADIUS server, for example, Cisco CAR.
Conditions: This issue occurs during retransmission of RADIUS access requests or if RADIUS
packets are sent to a secondary RADIUS server.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCtz75433
Symptom: When the Open Garden ACL on a Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Router with ISG
functionality is modified, the ACL allows all traffic instead of only Open Garden permit entries.
Conditions: This issue occurs when at least one unauthorized session is open when the ACL is
modified.
Workaround: Clear all the sessions.

CSCtz75816
Symptom: NBAR Field Extraction (AKA collect through IPFIX) does not work for flows over IPv6
tunnels.
Conditions: This is relevant when configuring NBAR to classify inside the tunneled IPv6 flows. This
is anyway not fully supported in the AVC eco-system in XE3.7.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCtz77171
Symptom: Subscriber drops are not reported in Mod4 Accounting.
Conditions: This symptom is seen on the checking policy map interface for account QoS statistics
on a port channel subinterface.

Symptom: A PPPoE client's host address is installed in the LNS' VRF routing table with the ip vrf
receive vrf name command supplied either via RADIUS or in a virtual-template, but is not installed
by CEF as attached. It is instead installed by CEF as receive, which is incorrect.
Conditions: This symptom is observed only when the virtual-access interface is configured with the
ip vrf receive vrf name command through the virtual-template or RADIUS profile.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCtz82591
Symptom: IPv6 multicast internal tunnel numbers conflict with user-configured tunnel numbers.
Conditions: When user-configured tunnel numbers are in a low range, and the number of internal
tunnels being created by IPv6 multicast overlaps with user-configured tunnel numbers on reload, the
nvgen commands fail.
Workaround: User-configured tunnel numbers should start at a high value range to avoid conflicting
with internal tunnels.

CSCtz82711
Symptom: Datapath session crashes.
Conditions: This symptom is observed when SGSN sends echo req before PDP_CREATE_REQ.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCtz83062
Symptom: Removing and attaching bandwidth percent configurations under a policy-map results in
an error message.
Conditions: This issue occurs when you peform the following procedure:
1. Create a policy that has bandwidth percent for both user-defined classes and a class default that
adds up to 100 percent.
2. Attach to the interface.
3. Remove one of the user-defined classes and attempt to reattach the same class with the same
bandwidth percent value again.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCtz83221
Symptom: Either the active RP or the standby RP route processor crashes.
Conditions: This symptom is seen during the configuration or removal of ATM virtual circuits.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCtz85102
Symptom: Packets with the L2 multicast address and L3 unicast address combination cannot be
forwarded by the L2TPv3 tunnel on the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Router.
Conditions: This symptom is observed with packets having the L2 multicast address and L3 unicast
address combination. This issue is seen in all Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

Conditions: This symptom is seen when all the user-defined class maps with live traffic are being
removed.
Workaround: Close the interface first before removing the class map.

CSCtz87676
Symptom: The ARP request to the same ip address in different VRFs is incorrectly rate limited. For
example: ping vrf 2001 172.16.0.2 repeat 100 timeout 0 ping vrf 2002 172.16.0.2 repeat
100 timeout 0 ping vrf 2003 172.16.0.2 repeat 100 timeout 0 ping vrf 2004 172.16.0.2

From the debug arp output, you can see ASR1000 generates only 1 arp
request in 2 seconds (0.5 pps) *Apr 29 03:10:44.932: IP ARP: sent req src 172.16.0.1 *Apr

repeat 100 timeout 0.

*Apr 29

*Apr 29 03:10:55.105: IP ARP: sent req

src 172.16.0.1 <snip> Per the design, the arp request to the same ip address in the same VRF is
0.5pps. But when the ip address appears in different VRFs, the ARP request rate should be 0.5 PPS
in each VRF.

Conditions: Day 1 issue.


Workaround: static arp.

CSCtz89337
Symptom: Two paths with the same nexthop are marked and advertised when the all option is set.
All paths advertised should have a unique NH.
Conditions: The issue occurs when there are two paths with the same nexthop.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCtz89485
Symptom: NAT traffic passes through the new standby router following HSRP switchover.
Conditions: This symptom is observed in HA NAT (NAT with HSRP) mappings with inside global
addresses that overlap a subnet owned by a router interface.
Workaround:
1. Force a HSRP switchover so that the initial standby router takes activity.
2. Remove and readd HSRP NAT mappings on the newly active router.
3. Force an HSRP switchover back to the initial active router.

CSCtz89608
Symptom: A router that is operating in an ISG environment experiences a crash due to memory
corruption.
Conditions: This symptom occurs within the SSS context.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCtz89697
Symptom: The SIP-400 crashed.
Conditions: This issue occurs because of accessing the NULL pointer in a timer wheel. However,
the trigger that contributes to the NULL pointer has not yet been determined. I have added the
Eng-notes which has the code analysis for this crash.
Workaround: You can prevent the crash by adding the NULL check condition before calling
tw_timer_stop API.

Conditions: Range interface mode may reload a switch if perf-mon inline is applied.
Workaround: Do not use teh range command option. Apply inline command one at one interface at
a time.

CSCtz90909
Symptoms: A router crashes when the no l2 vfi vfi-name point-to-point command is run.
Conditions: This symptom occurs while unconfiguring l2 vfi.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCtz92606
Symptom: The MFR memberlinks-T1 serial interfaces created under a CHOC12 controller do not
get decoupled from MFR even after the MFR bundle interface is deleted. After the MFR bundle
interface is reconfigured, the memberlinks do not appear under it.
Conditions: This symptom is seen in MFR with memberlinks as T1 serials from CHOC12 sonet
controller.
Workaround: Unconfigure and reconfigure the encapsulation frame-relay MFRx under each
memberlink after reconfiguring the MFR bundle interface.

CSCtz93922
Symptom: An XConnect virtual circuit may be down on one peer while it is up on the remote peer.
The output of the show mpls l2 transport vc detailed command indicates that it is in the LruRrd
state and that the last status it received from the remote peer is pw-tx-fault.
Conditions: This symptom has been observed when both the attachment circuit and core-facing
interfaces are on the same module and that module is reset using the hw-module module module
reset command, and the remote peer is running Cisco IOS Release 15.2(02)S or later.
Workaround: Run the shutdown command followed bythe no shutdown command on the
attachment circuit.

CSCtz94902
Symptom: Memory allocation failure occurs when attaching to SIP-40 using a web browser.
Conditions: This symptom occurs on the line card.
Workaround: Reset the line card.

CSCtz95698
Symptom: The standby router by the BGP design remains in the read/write mode after it gets out of
the read only mode both in the Active RP and the Standby RP. The read/write mode might, in some
timing situation, become the startup state of the new Active RP after SSO. Whereas a fresh reload
starts with the read only mode. This read/write startup state is not a desirable state by BGP code
design. Hence, this DDTS introduces a new read/scan state for the Standby RP. With this fix the
Standby RP stays in the read/scan state and does not change to the read/write state.
Conditions: This is a timing situation when the BGP standby RP after switchover might start
best-path or update activity with stale RW mode, then get into RO before finally getting back to the
operational RW mode again. This may at times cause unnecessary path updates to go out
immediately after switchover (in the stale RW mode, carried forward from its Standby state) only to
be replaced with the fully operational best-path updates, once the new Active RP gets to the fully
operational RW mode.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCtz95995
Symptom: If the router receives the same prefix or masks with the same AD, the code of route origin
in the show ip route command is overwritten.
Conditions: This issue occurs at L2TP situation, and can be shown on 12.4(25f) or 15.1(4)M4.
Workaround: Use the clear ip route command.

CSCtz96167
Symptom: The QoS DSCP cases fail.
Conditions: This symptom is observed in a QoS profile (with 31 as the DSCP value configured under
the SBE) but DSCP bit is still sent as 0.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCtz96504
Symptom: Some of the backup VCs go down after SSO.
Conditions: This symptom occurs only on a scale scenario, for example, by creating 500 primary
VCs and 500 backup VCs.
Workaround: The backup VCs can be brought to the SB state by issuing the clear xconnect peerid
peerid of the PW vcid vcid command, although it is not usually recommended.

CSCtz97093
Symptom: The multilink input counters are not increasing.
Conditions: The issue occurs when .... it is used as the IPv6 DmVPN tunnel source.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCtz97244
Symptom: IPSLA video operation with VRF support does not receive any packets.
Conditions: This symptom occurs whenthe no emulate command is specified with the input
interface.
Workaround: Use the emulate command to specify the input interface that has access to the VRF.

CSCtz98255
Symptom: The BGP incorrectly accepts the route-reflector-client configuration under neighbor
CLI if the neighbor is configured to be eBGP. There is no functionality loss, but the command should
not be accepted.
Conditions: This symptom is not caused by any specific condition.
Workaround: Remove the incorrect configuration.

CSCtz98347
Symptom: When ISI-S is configured to run Level 2, the IS-IS LFA does not create repair path if the
total metric to a prefix is 1024.
Conditions: This issue was found with 15.2(2)S, and when the ISIS metric is more than 1024 and
configured to run Level 2.
Workaround: Ensure that the total metric to a prefix is less than 1024, or use a narrow metric setting.

Conditions: This issue occurs when you upgrade the device from 3.5 to 3.6.
Workaround: Reload the device.

CSCua03201
Symptom: If the VPN ID of an existing Virtual Forwarding Interface (VFI) is changed on a dual RP
system, and then a stateful switchover (SSO) is performed, the new standby router may repeatedly
reload.
Conditions: This symptom is observed in Cisco IOS Release 15.2(2)S and Cisco IOS XE Release
3.6.0S and later.
Workaround: In order to configure a new VPN ID for a VFI, completely remove the existing VFI
and reconfigure it.

CSCua04049
Symptom: If a capture is stopped because of the limits reached, and the capture is started
immediately, the capture fails to stop.
Conditions: This symptom occurs after the immediate reactivation of a capture.
Workaround: Clear the buffer before reactivating the capture or wait for a minimum of 5 seconds
before reactivating a capture point.

CSCua04277
Symptom: IPv6 multicast routes do not get installed correctly.
Conditions: This issue occurs when you perform the following procedure:
1. Enable IPv6 multicast.
2. Configure the IPv6 addresses on the interface.
3. Configure RIP on these interfaces. Sometimes, the IPv6 route learned from RIP could be missing
in the IPv6 multicast routing table.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCua04991
Symptom: The parser chain for the show application ip route command is broken for topology.
Conditions: This issue is visible when topology is enabled in the router.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

Symptom: Certain connected routes within a VRF are not installed into the EIGRP topology table
(and advertised) although they are in the VRF routing table and are shown as connected.
Conditions: This issue is seen when you use the ip vrf receive <vrf-name> command under the
connected interface that is to be advertised by the EIGRP.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCua07184
Symptom: On a Cisco ASR1000 Series Aggregation Router with stateful NAT configuration and
using inter-chassis redundancy, removing VRF causes the mapping ID to be locked when trying to
apply the NAT rules again: %Snat mapping ID 1 in use %Snat mapping ID 2 in use. The NAT rules
that were automatically deleted and that customer want to re-apply : ip nat inside source list <ACL
name> pool <pool name> redundancy 1 mapping-id 1 vrf <vrf name> overload.
Conditions: This issue occurs when the following tasks are performed:
- Remove the VRF using the no ip vrf vrf name command. All the NAT configurations related to
this VRF are deleted.
- Restore the VRF configuration, and add IP VRF definition.
- When you try to add the NAT VRF-related configuration, the mapping ID gets locked.
Workaround: Unconfigure the ip nat inside source command before deleting the IP VRF, as
described here:
1. Remove the NAT configurations from the Inside and Outside interfaces.
2. lear ip nat trans.
3. Remove NAT rules (no ip nat inside source xxxx xxxx xxx)
4. Remove and readd the VRF configuration.
5. Readd the NAT rules and the NAT configurations on the interfaces.

CSCua07228
Symptom: Locally generated traffic is not encrypted when a crypto map is applied to the LISP
interface.
Conditions: The issue occurs when GET VPN or the static crypto map is configured on the LISP
interface to encrypt traffic between the LISP EIDs.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCua07367
Symptom: When retrieving session information from the VPDN management MIB, some sessions
are missing. In addition, the SNMP walk fails to get terminated, instead returning the same sessions
repeatedly.
Conditions: This issue is found in Cisco IOS versions 15.2(01)S01 and later, 15.2(02)T1 and later,
15.1(04)M4 and later, and 15.0(01)M and later.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCua07502
Symptom: The throughput on a multiple member-link MLPPP bundles with links of differing
bandwidth may be slightly less than expected due to a complication inthe load balancing algorithm
due to mixed bandwidth links. Note that throughput degradation is minimal. The issue was first seen
in 15.2(02)S01, but was addressed in Release 15.2(02)S02. Therefore, Release 15.2(02)S01 is the
only release with this symptom.

Symptom: VCs (configured with VPLS) on the standby RP in down state.
Conditions: core link flap.
Workaround: clear xcon all

CSCua08027
Symptom: Tracebacks appear on Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers when LI is
used with SNMP-based TAP. This occurs from Cisco IOS XE35 Release
Conditions: This issue occurs when SNMP-based LI is used and the routers are running versions
XE35 or later.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCua09443
Symptom: The MLPPPoLNS (L2TP) packet transmit action does not handle the packet transmit
operation correctly when the MLPPPoLNS packet is being sent via MPLS VRF (that is, the L2TP
tunnel is in a VRF). In the Cisco ASR1000 Series Routers 15.1(3)S and 15.2(1)S release trains, the
packet is transmitted as expected, but the MLP Tx ESS Packet Drop statistics may be seen
incrementing and the MLP Tx Unfragmented Packet statistics for the bundle indicate that no packets
have been transmitted (even though they are likely to have been transmitted). Problem would in most
cases be transparent in this release train but MLPPP statistics would be incorrect. In the Cisco ASR
1000 Routers 15.2(2)S release trains, if multilink fragmentation, interleave, or both are DISABLED,
the behavior will be the same as in the release trains described earlier. If multilink fragmentation,
interleave, or both are ENABLED, the first MLPPP fragment will be sent, but not the remaining
fragments. The peer router is also likely to detect lost MLPPP fragments.
Conditions: This issue occurs when the MLPPPoLNS packet is sent via MPLS VRF (that is, L2TP
tunnel is in a VRF).
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCua09653
Symptom: Snmp-server host x.x.x.x public bgp.
Conditions: Functionality is not broken but CLI is not NVGened. However, when router is reloaded
functionality would not work.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCua10815
Symptom: A leak is seen in CPP memory, and the FP crashes.
Conditions: This symptom is observed when the IPSec WCCP is configured. Due to a large number
of debug log messages in the cpp_cp_F0-0.log file, there is a memory leak in the CPP, and the FP
crashes.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

Caveats in Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers Release 3.8S

Symptom: Under certain conditions, a Cisco ASR1000 Series Aggregation Router may send ICMP
type 3 code 4 (unreachable, fragmentation needed, but with the DF bit set) packets with a wrong
source IP address, that is, the IP address configured on the ingress interface of the original packet
(which is too big and cannot be fragmented) instead of an IP address belonging to an interface in the
VRF the packet is destined for.
Conditions: This issue occurs when MPLS VPN is used and the big packet enters the router through
an MPLS interface, and when the egress interface has a lower MTU and belongs to a (nonglobal)
VRF.
Workaround: If possible, do not filter ICMP unreachables based on the source IP address in the
network between the Cisco ASR1000 Series Agregation Router and the sender. Apply a route map
to ignore the DF bit, allowing the big packets to be fragmented, or in the contect of TCP traffic,
apply the ip tcp adjust-mss <value> command to lower the TCP MSS of the sending host.

CSCua12396
Symptom: IPV6 multicast routing is broken in master switchover scenarios with a large number of
members in the stack. The issue is seen on platforms such as Cisco Catalyst 3750-E Series
Switches and the Cisco Catalyst 3750-X Series Switches that support IPV6 multicast routing.
Conditions: The issue occurs when IPV6 multicast routing is configured, multicast routes are
populated, and traffic is being forwarded. In master switchover, synchronization between the master
and members is disrupted. This is seen only in IPv6 multicast routing; it is seen in a 9-member stack
and either during the first or the second master switchover. No issues are seen in IPv4 multicast
routing.
Workaround: Enable IPv6 multicast routing when you have a deployment with less members in the
stack.

CSCua12467
Symptom: Multicast operation and sub-opers return OK even though errors occurred.
Conditions: OK return code even though stats are not populated (for various error conditions)
Workaround: Display problem only. Fix underlying error and results will be OK.

CSCua13082
Symptom: A PPPoE client's host address is installed in the LNS' VRF routing table with the ip vrf
receive VRF NAME command supplied either via RADIUS or in a virtual template, but is not
installed by CEF as attached. It is instead installed by CEF as receive, which is incorrect.
Conditions: This issue does not occur under a specific condition. The only condition that exists is
the virtual access interface with ip vrf receive VRF NAME configured via the virtual template or the
RADIUS profile.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCua13273
Symptoms: The Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers may experience an RP crash
when the show crypto ipsec security command is used.
Conditions: This issue occurs when the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Routers run an affected
version of Cisco IOS-XE, and an administrator issues the show crypto ipsec security command.
Workaround: There is no workaround. This issue requires that an authenticated Level 15
administrator or a configured AAA user with access to the show crypto ipsec security command to
issue the command. This is being treated as a functional issue by PSIRT and the BU, and will be
resolved in a future version of Cisco IOS-XE. PSIRT Evaluation. Cisco PSIRT has evaluated this
issue. This issue does not meet the criteria for PSIRT ownership or involvement, and will be

a change in the severity of this issue, contact psirt@cisco.com for another evaluation. Additional
information on Cisco's security vulnerability policy can be found at the following URL:

CSCua13322
Symptom: Routes for the converted dedicated P sessions are missing after an RP switchover.
Conditions: Converted dedicated IP sessions are not HA awared. Therefore, after an RP switchover,
these sessions will be re-established at the new active RP. Routes are not installed for some of these
sessions. As a result, downstream traffic is dropped.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCua13418
Symptom: RP-Announce packets are being replicated across all the tunnel interfaces and the count
of replication is equal to the number of tunnel interfaces. For example, if there are three tunnel
interfaces, then each tunnel should forward one RP-Announce packet each minute (with the default
timer configured). However, in this case, each tunnel is forwarding three RP-Announce packets
across each tunnel interface. This issue is not specific to the number of interfaces. It can happen with
any number of tunnel interfaces.
Conditions: This symptom is observed when filter-autorp is configured with the ip multicast
boundary command. This issue is seen on the Cisco 3725 Router too, where the incoming packets
are being replicated because of the filter-autorp command.
Workaround: Removing filter-autorp resolves the issue. However, you should remove the pim and
boundary commands first and then reapply the PIM and boundary list without the filter-autorp
keyword. Also, doing this might lead to the redesigning of the topology to meet specific
requirements. For example, execute int Tun X no ip pim sparse-dense mode no ip multicast
boundary XXXXXX filter-autorp and then int TuX ip pim sparse-dense mode ip multicast
boundary XXXXXX.

CSCua13551
Symptom: CAT 6K and ASR 1000 learning candidate default routes from nexus due to which the
default route is not being learnt properly and caused an outage.
Conditions: Nexus is running into a bug CSCtz79151 because of which it is advertising the
candidate defaults to its downstream neighbors.
Workaround: workaround is to configure ?default-information in xxxx? on the 6500's, where xxx is
an acl denying all default candidates from being learned except 0.0.0.0/0. On 6500 access-list 30

Workaround: Terminate the pseudowires on a different AC and make them as primary. There is no
workaround if you want to terminate the pseudowires on the same AC.

CSCua51775
Symptom: Adding the flow-based fair-queue command to the QoS policy map might cause
conditional priority fail to police the traffic when congestion condition happens.
Conditions: If the service policy has already been attached to the interface, adding the fair-queue
command to the policy map disables the congestion detection flag setting that is used by the
conditional priority traffic class, causing the traffic class to behave like a strict priority traffic class.
Workaround: Detach and reattach the same service policy to the interface when you add the
fair-queue command to the policy map attached to the interface.

CSCua52064
Symptom: LSMPI-4-INJECT_FEATURE_ESCAPE: Egress IPV6 packet delivered inject path.

address <ip host tools.cisco.com n.n.n.n>).

CSCua85092
Symptom: RTCP cannot be terminated from the endpoint.
Conditions: This issue occurs when you configure rtcp-regenerate on the SBC and establish a call
between the callers. Use PCMA on both sides and do not trigger transcoding. Transcoding is
triggered when a caller sends the reinvite and changes the codec to PCMU.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCua85116
Symptom: Under certain conditions, an ESP may reload and an ESP forced switchover may occur.
Conditions: This occurs on ESP20 and RP2 with 200 branches, and two BRs each with two exits,
and with delay flap on over one of ISP link.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCua85239
Symptom: Flapping BGP sessions are seen if large BGP update messages are sent out and BGP
packets are fragmented because midpoint routers have the smaller MTU or IP MTU configured.
Conditions: This symptom is observed between two BGP peers with matching MD5 passwords
configured, and can be triggered by the following conditions:
If the midpoint path has an MTU or IP MTU setting that is smaller than the outgoing interface

on BGP routers, it will force the BGP router to fragment the BGP packet while sending packets
through the outgoing interface.
Peering down and the MD5 error do not always occur. They occur only once or twice within 10

tests.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCua85934
Symptom: A session provisioning failure is seen in the ISG-SCE interface. The deactivate or
disconnect request has the message authenticator wrongly calculated.
Conditions: This symptom is observed in the ISG-SCE interface.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCua86310
Symptom: When relay is configured with an unnumbered interface, it appears, the packet is sent out
of the loopback interface (instead of the serial interface) to the server, which does not receive the
packet.
Conditions: The issue occurs only when an unnumbered loopback address is used on the relay
interface that connects to the server. If an IPv6 address is used directly on the interface, it works fine.

CSCua87896
Symptom: QFP exmem is exhausted in the standby FP.
Conditions: This condition is observed when TCP is used for SIP signalling.

Symptom: In an IPv6 snooping policy, the keyword prefix-list has no effect on the control packet.
The keyword only affects binding table recovery. In an ipv6 nd raguard policy, the
limited-broadcast keyword appears although it is deprecated. It should be hidden and is always on.
Conditions: These symptoms are observed in an IPv6 snooping policy and IPv6 and RA guard
policy.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCua88412
Symptom: The DNS queries through the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Router, NAT
sessions are not resolved even though the no ip nat service dns-reset-ttl command is configured.
Conditions: This issue occurs if the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Router
configuration includes the no ip nat service dns-reset-ttl command.
Workaround: Remove and add the no ip nat service dns-reset-ttl command configuration.
Alteratively, if the target platform supports it, reload the ESPs.

CSCua90577
Symptom: VRF-aware IP SLAs with ICMP probes fail.
Conditions: The Cisco ASR 1000 PE Router is configured to send ICMP ping probes to a certain
MPLS VPN destination. The ping is received back from the destination, but IP-SLA shows
continuous failures. Manual ping via CLI fails as well.
Workaround: Shut/unshut the ICMP source interface (loopback) or unconfigure and reconfigure the
VRF on the loopback interface. However, if the router is reloaded, the issue reappears.

CSCua91147
Symptom: ESP 80 crash is observed.
Conditions: The issue occurs in scaled configurations (7K XConnects, 3K VPLS, 4K L2TPV3
circuits) with FP switchover followed by RP SSO.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCua91104
Symptom: The IS-IS adjacency process shows traceback messaging related to the managed timer.
Conditions: While configuring ISIS network point-to-point on the LAN interface with ISIS BFD or
ISIS IPv6 BFD enabled, traceback does not always ocur; it depends on timing.
Workaround: Disable ISIS BFD or ISIS IPv6 BFD before issuing isis network point-to-point
command. Restore ISIS BFD or ISIS IPv6 BFD configuration on LAN interface.

CSCua91729
Symptom: BGP assert-enabled images show asserts pointing to bgp_afi2priv_topoid. However, the
released images do not have asserts enabled, so these are not seen on the released images.
Conditions: The topoid access API used to fetch the topoid of IPv6 multicast in BGP needs to be
changed. Because the existing API in the code does not use the correct API, the asserts are raised in
this DDTS.
Workaround: There is no workaround. The code should fetch the correct topoid for IPv6 multicast
for the VRF.

CSCua91995
Symptom: IPv6 IPsec sessions may come up slowly (1 TP per 10 seconds).
Conditions: This issue occurs when the IPv6 addresses are identical in the first few bytes.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCua96958
Symptom: In a rarely used configuration of PIC in a confederation, the CEF points the adjacency of
the prefix via the repair path instead of an active best path in BGP and RIB.
Conditions: This occurs when the BGP flags the best path (incorrectly) and repair path (correctly)
with recursive-via-connected, even though only the repair path has the gateway that is directly
connected to the confederation peer.
Workaround: Make sure the gateway for the received best path is also directly connected to the CEF
to choose the correct outgoing interface. This can be done by setting the next-hop-self feature on the
confederation peer from where the best path is received.

CSCua97282
Symptom: Router crashes.
Conditions: No IP routing occurs when router ISIS is running.
Workaround: Enter the no ip router isis command before issuing the no ip routinger command to
perform IP routing after unconfiguring IS-IS IP.

MMON is enabled.
The NBAR is enabled and configured to look into IPv6 tunnels, using one or both the following

CLI commands:
a. ip nbar classification tunneled-traffic ipv6inip
b. ip nbar classification tunneled-traffic teredo
Workaround: Perform the following steps for the conditions described previously:
Disable media monitoring.
Disable NBAR classification of tunneled trafficby using the # no ip nbar classification

tunneled-traffic ipv6inip command and the # no ip nbar classification tunneled-traffic


teredo command respectively.

CSCub07695
Symptom: The VRRP IP address owner scenario can be triggered by matching a vIP with the IP of
a different physical interface.
Conditions: This issue occurs when the VRRP is incorrectly configured to have a primary vIP that
is equal to another interface's physical IP address.
Workaround: Configure the VRRP to have a vIP within the same subnet of the interface on which it
is present.

CSCub07855
Symptom: A VRF error message is displayed in the router.
Conditions: This symptom occurs during router bootup.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCub08714
Symptom: Poor performance is seen for multicast on Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services
Routers over DMVPN.
Conditions: This symptom occurs under both the following conditions:
Multicast packets should come in via tunnel interface (not a physical interface).
The negate signaling (NS) flag has to be set on one of the interfaces in the MFIB (S,G) entry.

If both these conditions are met, the packet is punted to the control plane and forwarded in
software in addition to the hardware forwarding, thus causing duplicates. Note that the NS punts
are periodic/throttled, and not all multicast packets are punted because of NS. Thus, the
duplication is intermittent/periodic.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

Workaround: Adding the static join command in the PE loopback interface may help you work
around the problem temporarily.

CSCub10102
Symptom: The PCMCIA flash card formatting error occurs on the Cisco UBR7200-NPE-G1.
Conditions: This issue occurs after swapping different characteristics, such as size, clusters, or
sectors, of the compact flash card on Cisco UBR7200-NPE-G1.
Workaround: Reload Cisco UBR7200-NPE-G1.

CSCub10951
Symptom: At RR, for an inter-cluster BE case, there are missing updates.
Conditions: This symptom is observed under the following conditions:
1.

The following configuration exists at all RRs that are fully meshed:

bgp additional-paths select best-external


nei x advertise best-external
2.

For example, RR5 is the UUT. At UUT, there is,

Overall best path via RR1.


Best-external (best-internal) path via PE6 (client of RR5): for example, the path is called

"ic_path_rr5".
Initially, RR5 advertises "ic_path_rr5" to its nonclient iBGP peers, that is, RR1 and RR3.
3.

At PE6, unconfigure the route so that RR5 no longer has any inter-cluster BE path. RR5 sends
the withdrawals to RR1 and RR3 correctly.

4.

At PE6, reconfigure the route so that RR5 will have "ic_path_rr5" as its "best-external (internal)
path." At this point, even though the BGP table at RR5 gets updated correctly, it does not send
the updates to RR1 and RR3. They never relearn the route.

Workaround: Hard/soft clear.

CSCub12361
Symptom: When a neighbor that is not created is configured to an existing peer group, a memory
leak of 1 KB is triggered along with the following error message:
Members of peer-group must use the same transport.

Each time a similar command is entered, a new memory leak of the same size occurs. Therefore, this
issue is not surface-impacting.
Conditions: This issue occurs when you execute the neighbor <ip-address> peer-group
<peer-group name> command in the router configuration mode, where the peer group name is valid
and configured. However, the neighbor is not created. For example, create a peer group neighbor rrc
peer-group and add an IPv4 neighbor to the peer group. When you configure the peer group to IPv4
nei 51.3.3.2 peer-group rrc and add an IPv6 neighbor to the same peer group to trigger a transport
error nei 5133::2 peer-group rrc Error, members of the peer group must all use the same transport.
Check for memory leak do show mem deb leak. This will produce an entry for a newly generated
memory leak.
Workaround: Avoid misconfigurations since the effect of .. is a localized memory leak.

Symptom: Route flaps may occur after a switchover when a router is configured to use ISIS IETF
NSF. The route timestamp is refreshed in the show ip route command output. Packet traffic may
also be dropped as a result of the switchover. Occurs with point-to-point interface or on a LAN
configured as point-to-point.
Conditions: Configure ISIS NSF IETF and the point-to-point interface.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCub20516
Symptom: The section output modifier does not work correctly for a specific sequence of commands
when the parser command serializer is enabled.
Conditions: This issue occurs when you use the hardware and configuration similar to that of NTT.
Invoking the show policy-map control-plane section CoPP_PPPoE will produce the preconditions
that are necessary to affect the subsequent invocation of show interfaces Port-channel1
Etherchannel | section IDBs. This produces incorrect output during the execution.
Workaround: Repeat the failed command twice.

CSCub20803
Symptom: The EIGRP delay value cannot be calculated correctly.
Condition: This issue occurs when the nonwide metric router receives prefix from the widemetric
router.

policies 7up and sprite values.


Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCub26441
Symptom: A Cisco ASR1000 Series Aggregation Services Router with ESP100 crashes if the
out-of-range queue ID QID is included while issuing mcp_bb_99#sho plat hard qfp act inf bqs
sch qid <qid> command. As a result, ESP100 will dump a core and reload, potentially impacting
traffic.
Conditions: A Cisco ASR1000 Series Aggregation Services Router must have one or more
redundant ESP100s operating, and the sho plat hard qfp act inf bqs sch qid <qid> command issued
with an out-of-range QID. Under normal circumstances (when other ESP models other than ESP100
are present), the following message displayed for a bad QID:
% Error: Failed to gather BQS information for QID 0xc03, QID out of supported range.

Workaround: Ensure that you include a correct QID. there is no work-around if the fix is not present.

CSCub26822
Symptom: When the prefix has multiple paths from the same next hop, one of these paths become
the best path. Another path from a different next hop is computed for RR best external path to
advertise to the peers that are configured to receive this path. The RR best external path advertised
to the BGP peers may not be withdrawn when the source withdraws this path from the UUT. This
may happen when the UUT BGP table has multiple paths that are the same next hop as the best path.

OL-26698-16

Caveats in Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers Release 3.8S

Conditions: This issue occurs when there are multiple paths from the same next hop in the PCP table
and an RR best external path having a different next hop. When this RR best external path is
withdrawn, the path is still seen in the peer that received it. The RR does not withdraw this route
from the peers.
Workaround: Use the clear ip bgp <peer> command to resend the prefixes to the peer. Alternatively,
use the Enhanced Route Refresh feature to avoid this issue.

CSCub27029
Symptom: In extremely rare cases, the sh ip nat trans command may cause an error message to be
displayed or a crash to occur.
Conditions: This occurs rarely.
Workaround: Downgrading to a release prior to Cisco XE 3.6.0 is a possible workaround. A fix is
expected, starting with Cisco IOS XE Release 3.7.1.

CSCub27590
Symptom: The RP crashes during the EXEC process.
Conditions: This issue occurs when you remove or readd the BGP AD L2 VFI with debug enabled.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCub27178
Symptom: The long-term service gets stuck in an attempting state and does not get established.
Conditions: This condition occurs during the following scenarios:
When the Cisco ISG session restart events are configured, service is stuck in the attempting

state, or there is an IP address mismatch.


When the session churning through idle timeout or session timeout is configured.

Workaround: GGSN retains the allocated IP address for a user (tagged by IMSI for GTP) within the
configured timer window. Essentially, after the first PDP context is deleted and the second one
arrives, GGSN allocates the same IP address for the user within the hold time. This is achieved
without the need to specify the address in End User Application - Information Element (EUA-IE)
from the iWAG in the CPC. The iWAG will not maintain any binding by itself; this is GGSN's
responsibility. Administrators should configure the iWAG so that the per-APN DHCP lease time
matches the hold-time value. The following is a sample configuration of a session restart event:
class-map type traffic match-any TC_OPENGARDEN
match access-group output name ACL_OUT_OPENGARDEN
match access-group input name ACL_IN_OPENGARDEN

CSCub29610
Symptom: The Qos MIB filter statistics do not add up to the same number as the QoS MIB class
statistics.
Conditions: This issue occurs on a Cisco 7600 Router running the IOS XE 3.7 code. This does not
impact the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Router and the Cisco ASR 903 Router.
Workaround: Avoid modifying the filters in the class map. If you need to modify, delete the
class-map and configure a new class-map with the desired filters.

CSCub29733
Symptom: The NAT HA feature is not going into PI20 because performance degradation issues were
found with the CEF changes made for this feature.
Conditions: Any changes that we checked into resiliency@dev4 for the NAT HA feature needs to be
backed out. Once that is done, we need to uprev latest of dev4 (without changes made for NAT) to
15.3(1)T/PI20.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCub30577
Symptom: Unexpected RTs are attached to redistributed routes in a VRF.
Conditions: This issue occurs when the export map for a VRF contains a clause that sets both the
RT matches a match as-path clause. In such a scenario, the match as-path clause will automatically
match, causing the attachment to occur.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCub31399
Symptom: The DHCPv6 client gives a parse error while receiving the NOPREFIX-AVAIL from the
server.
Conditions: This issue occurs when the status code is NOPREFIX-AVAIL for the client REQUEST.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCub31477
Symptom: A Cisco ISG router configured for Layer 2 Connected Subscriber Sessions does not
respond to ARP replies after a subscribers ARP cache has expired.
Conditions: This symptom occurs when the router is configured as ISG L2-Connect, the router has
configured HSRP as the high-availability method, and the subscriber-facing interface is configured
with the no ip proxy arp command. This issue is not seen if either HSRP is removed or the ip proxy
arp command is enabled.
Workaround: Clear the subscriber session. After the subscriber is reintroduced, the issue is resolved.
You can also configure ip proxy arp on the HSRP-configured interface.

Symptom: The ?sh pl software interface fp active name interfacexxx ip reassembly? command
does not display the reassembly parameter correctly.
Conditions: When the router is not configured with the reassembly max-reassembly value, it uses
the default value, 16. In this scenario, the output of the sh ip reassembly gigabitEthernet 0/0/0
command will display reassembly value correctly, but the binos show platform software inter fp
active name xxx ip reassembly command will not display the value correctly.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCub33602
Symptom: An IGMP query with the source IP address 0.0.0.0 triggers a querier election process. As
a consequence, the port on which this packet is received is marked as the mrouter port for that
VLAN.
Conditions: This issue occurs when an IGMP query with source IP address 0.0.0.0 is received.
Workaround: Configure an ACL to block packets with the source IP address 0.0.0.0 and apply it to
the relevant interfaces.

CSCub33877
Symptom: During issue loadversion, when downgrading from Texel (or later) to YAP
(v151_1_sg_throttle or earlier), the standby RP keeps reloading due to the out-of-sync
configuration.
Conditions: This symptom occurs during the issue loadversion operation. The newer version of the
image supports IPv6 multicast, while the older version of image does not.

CSCub38174
Symptom: Memory leak is seen on the standby RP.
Conditions: This issue occurs only on the standby card in which the ERP interface is in the down
state. Ideally, the platform should not punt packet to the ERP process when the interface is down.
Also, the ERP should drop and free the memory for punted packet.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCub38559
Symptom: When static recursive routes are used in an MVPNv6 environment, multicast traffic loss
may occur due to a failure in determining the correct RPF interface for a multicast source or
rendezvous point.
Conditions: This issue occurs if a static route to an IPv6 address at a remote site of a VPN cloud
resolves via a BGP route, resulting in a failure to install the required MDT alternate next hop in the
recursively referenced BGP route.
Workaround: Execute the show ipv6 rpf vrf X <address> command for the address within the
recursively referenced BGP prefix range to install the required alternate next hop.

CSCub39131
Symptom: Packets get dropped.
Conditions: 5cps basic sip call.
Workaround: Reduce the traffic load from 5 cps to 2 cps.

CSCub43292
Symptom: The device displays an error while using the built-in environment variable of the Identity
Event detector applet called "$_interface.
Conditions: This symptom is not caused by any specific condition.
Workaround: The actual variable is "$_identity_interface" and not "$_interface", which stores the
value of the interface.

CSCub44215
Symptom: In the routed VPLss scenario, when BDI interface on a Cisco ASR 1002 router is
configured in VRF and receive packets on VPLs, the VFI (from a PE router with XConnect) meant
for the VPN prefixes imported via route-target import from its l3vpn mpbgp peer (another PE). This
corrupts the packets. The destination device drops all the packets as it contains IP option.
Conditions: This issue occurs only for the destination learned via the route target import policy. The
devices behind the PE (having scanned) can ping the BDI interface, and the routes are directly
connected to a Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Router or learned via another device
in the same VRF. This issue is seen in the 15.2(2)S1 and 152-4.S.bin images.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCub50946
Symptom: The bandwidth value is not correctly cloned to the virtual-access interface of the virtual
template interface. When a FlexVPN client connects to the IOS head-end and the virtual template
does not have bandwidth configuration, the FlexVPN client uses the default value of 100 KB.
Conditions: This issue occurs when the FlexVPN server runs on a Cisco IOS15.1(3)T or later image.
The client connects and the virtual access interface gets cloned with the correct bandwidth (100
KB). When the client disconnects, and then reconnects, the bandwidth of the new virtual access
interface will be 10000 KB.
Workaround: Manually configure a nondefault bandwidth on the virtual template interface.

CSCub51087
Symptom: ODR is not working.

address.

CSCub53087
Symptom: A high number of GTPv0 and GTPv1 packet drops with GTP permit-error OFF. On ASA,
this feature can be turned ON.
Conditions: This issue occurs when a zone-based firewall is configured for the GTP traffic and GTP
permit-error is OFF.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCub53660
Symptom: A stale multicast alternative route for the tunnel route is found after the level-1 interarea
tunnel route is replaced by a nontunnel level-2 route.
Conditions: When multi-cast intact is enabled and shut/unshut an interface causes topology change
only in level-2. The result of the level-2 SPF changes, but the level-1 topology and level-1 SPF result
does not change. Thus, the stale multicast alternative route for the level-1 tunnel route is not deleted
even though the tunnel route is replaced by a level-2 nontunnel route.
Workaround: Change the interface circuit type to level-1-2 or adjust the ISIS topology in such a way
that the tunnel route is replaced by a nontunnel route of the same level.

CSCub54686
Symptom: When the ultra kernel is crashes, the kernel core is not dumped.
Conditions: This issue occurs when the ultra kernel crashes.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCub54872
Symptom: When 32 prefixes are applied to an interface, for example a loopback, is not being treated
as connected. This can impact the connectivity of the 32-bit prefix.
Conditions: The symptom is observed when the prefix that is applied to an interface is meant for a
host route (/32 for IPv4 or /128 for IPv6).
Workaround: Use a shorter prefix.

CSCub54993
Symptom: When attaching an interface to a downstream VRF, the following warning message may
be displayed even if the VRF in question does not have the IPv6 address family configured:
% IPv6 does not support hdvrf interface Ethernet0/0

Conditions: This error message is displayed only when a downstream (half-duplex) VRF is
configured on an interface, and that VRF was created using the vrf definition command.
Workaround: This message is a reminder to indicate that IPv6 does not support half-duplex VRFs
and that VRF forwarding configuration will be ignored for the IPv6 address family.

CSCub55036
Symptom: A combination of static NAT and Firewall allows the flow of ICMP timestamp even
though the user-defined ACL is dropped.
Conditions: NAT with Firewall for ICMP timestamp flow
Workaround: Apply an ACL on the interface to deny ICMP time-stamp request.

CSCuc47357
Symptom: An unexpected Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Router crash is observed
on Release 15.2(2)S2 SW. The crash occurred at line 3799 in ppp_cp.c, which is in the
cp_process_confreq()functionfrom the core decode: #0 __be_cp_process_confreq
(ppp=0x7f50114689e8, cp_spec=0xc87fa0ec4f7f0000, cp=0x7f501035a57c,
neg=0x7f50059a6084) at ../VIEW_ROOT/cisco.comp/ppp/core/src/ppp_cp.c:3799
Below is a snippet of cp_process_confreq(). The cp_get_option_spec() returned NULL and
ppp_debug_prot_s() de referenced it:
option_spec = cp_get_option_spec(cp_spec, option_type);
ppp_debug_prot_s(ppp,
PPP_DEB_OPTION_STALL,
<<< Line 3799
cp_spec->cp_protocol, option_spec->name);
return; ... The function
cp_get_option_spec() is expected to return NULL and later debug print was trying to
dereference the NULL pointer .

Conditions: This symptom was observed when more than 40 x Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation
Services Routers were upgraded to Cisco IOS XE Relesae 15.2(2)S2.

CSCui22356
Symptom: The Subpackage ISSU Upgrade is performed on ASR1002-X router after upgrading the
standby RP (R0/1) with new RP subpackages. Then, Switchover is forced from the active IOS
process to the standby IOS process. During the switchover, new active RP performs configuration
Bulk-Sync with the standby RP. During this Bulk Sync operation, the configuration related to the
interfaces is not synchronized with the standby RP due to Bulk Sync MCL failures. The following
error message will be displayed when this error is present.
Sample Error Message:
<.............>
Config Sync: Bulk-sync failure due to Servicing Incompatibility. Please check full
list of mismatched commands via:

Conditions: On issuing show ip nat trans command when there are a large number of static
networks translations the ESP may reset with the above messages. The issue is caused by a
calculation dealing with the number of static network translations that are configured. It is possible
to avoid this issue by moving out of the impacted range of static network translations.
Workaround: Determine the number of static network translations:
Router# show platform hardware qfp active feature nat datapath stats | include static
net
non_extended XXXX entry_timeouts XXXX statics XXXX static net 126 hits
XXXX misses XXXX
Take the number of static network translations ("static net") and
divide it by 32, and then look at the remainder:
126/32 = 3 remainder 30
If the
remainder is 30 or 31 this issue could be encountered when the 'show ip nat
translation' is executed. To avoid this situation add or remove one or two static
network translations, for example:
ip nat inside source static network X.X.X.X
Y.Y.Y.Y /ZZ ip nat inside source static network A.A.A.A B.B.B.B /CC
The addresses
used in these two static network translations do not need to be hit by any traffic,
and do not need to be subnets that are regularly used within the network. Next verify
that the remainder is no longer 30 or 31:
Router#$show platform hardware qfp active
feature nat datapath stats | include static net
non_extended XXXX

Caveats in Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers Release 3.7.4S

Symptoms:The load balancing feature of the flex-vpn solution of Cisco IOS does not provide
authentication facilities to avoid non authorized member to join the load balancing cluster. Thus, an
attacker may impact the integrity of the flex-vpn system by inserting a rogue cluster member and
having the load balance master to forward VPN session to it. A number of secondary effect,
including black-holing of some of the VPN traffic may be triggered by this issue.
Conditions: Flex-VPN with Load Balancing feature active.
Workaround: Using CoPP and interface access-list may be used to allow only trusted router to join
the load balancer cluster PSIRT Evaluation: The Cisco PSIRT has assigned this bug the following
CVSS version 2 score. The Base and Temporal CVSS scores as of the time of evaluation are 4.3 or

Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCuc01194
Symptom:

If there is a "peer .. fqdn ..." statement in the startup-config

For example: crypto ikev2 client flexvpn flex

peer 1 fqdn <FQDN>

Then after rebooting, the "peer ..." statement may be missing from the running-config.
Conditions: This occurs because at boot time, when the startup-config is parsed, there is no DNS
connectivity so the DNS resolution of the FQDN fails and hence the command is not accepted.
Workaround: Remove the peer and add it again with the "dynamic" keyword, i.e.:
client flexvpn flex no peer 1 fqdn <FQDN> peer 1 fqdn <FQDN> dynamic

Note

crypto ikev2

This process will delay the DNS resolution of the fqdn until the VPN tunnel is built.
CSCuc02931
Symptoms: FlexVPN site to site crypto session at UP-NO-IKE status.
Conditions: Clear cry session is given during rekey, create new sa with invalid spi, invalid SPI do

used.
Conditions: Live-feed is implemented to produce MMOH stream in CME environment, where
Live-Feed source is connected to an FXO port. File based Moh also to be configured, and the file
needs to be in Cached state.
Workaround: Remove the file based Moh. Or have a file based Moh which will NOT get cached.

CSCuc47356
Symptoms: Static routes are not getting removed.
Conditions: This symptom is observed with Smap - Smap. Removal of CLI does not remove the
static route.
Workaround: Remove the ACL before removing the SA.

CSCuc53595
Symptoms: Hung calls on FXO ports where supervisory disconnect is used to disconnect calls.
Conditions: Analog phone / device initiates disconnect. Custom CPTone is used to detect the
disconnect tone that is provided to the FXO port
Workaround: Configure the analog device to use one of the default CPTones that is bundled with
IOS ( country based ).

CSCuc53667
Symptoms: ESP crashes in response to a show command.
Conditions: When issuing the following show command on a ASR1K 1RU, ESP5, ESP10, ESP20
and ESP40 system.
show platform hardware qfp [active | standby] infrastructure bqs [schedule|queue] qid
This only causes an ESP crash when the &apos;qid&apos; specified is an internal queue. It is safe
for interface or QoS created queue.
Workaround: Avoid use of the show command to display internal queues.
PSIRT Evaluation:
The Cisco PSIRT has assigned this bug the following CVSS version 2 score. The Base and Temporal
CVSS scores as of the time of evaluation are 3.8 or 3.3:

CSCuc80457
Symptom: When ASR1K router is equipped with FP100 or FP160 models, the conditional police
might fail to work if the physical interface of the tunnel QoS changes to a different one.
Conditions: If the child policy of tunnel QoS contains "priority <kbps>" and "fair-queue" features,
the police of the "priority" feature will fail to function if the physical interface is changed to a
different one. Then the priority traffic would behaves like strict priority feature which might starve
other traffic class. This issue is specific to certain FP models, like FP100 and FP160.
Workaround: Detach and reattach the same policy-map to tunnel interface will restore the
functionality for Tunnel QoS.

CSCuc88175
Symptom: When a dynamic cryptomap is used on the Virtual Template interface, SAs do not get
created and thus the testscripts fail. This issue occurs because the crypto map configurations are not
added to the NVGEN, and there is no security policy applied on the Virtual Template interface.
Conditions: This symptom is observed only when a dynamic map is used on the Virtual Template
interface. However, this issue is not seen when tunnel protection is used on the Virtual Template
interface or when a dynamic map is used on the typical physical interface.
Workaround: Use tunnel protection on the Virtual Template interface.

CSCuc95160
Symptom: After receiving the CRCX message, the Cisco AS5400 does not send 200 ok to SSW.
SSW sends the CRCX message to the Cisco AS5400 again. Between these messages, debug outputs
are displayed. It seems that the call is not disconnected completely for the end point by the previous
disconnect request (the DLCX is received after the CRCX message from SSW). The end point may
be stuck in call_disconnecting state. Conditions: This symptom is observed only when a dynamic
map is used on the Virtual Template interface. However, this issue is not seen when tunnel protection
is used on the Virtual Template interface or when a dynamic map is used on the typical physical
interface.
Conditions: This symptom is observed with MGCP. This issue occurs when the Cisco AS5400
receives DLCX before sending 200 ok for the first CRCX message.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCud02391
Symptom: The EIGRP routes are not coming up after removing and reenabling the tunnel interface.
Conditions: This symptom is observed when EIGRP routes do not populate properly.

CSCud78362
Symptom: GW starts to drop calls randomly if you increase simultaneous calls beyond 350.
Conditions: This symptom occurs if 350 calls are connected on GW, some doing digit collection
using Cisco ASR(MRCPv2) and some playing media. Increasing a few more calls triggers the issue
of call drops and total calls stay at only 350.
Workaround: A patch was provided which fixed the issue.

CSCud83835
Symptom: An IPsec VPN tunnel fails to be established. The debug crypto ipsec command shows
no output when attempting to bring up the tunnel.
Conditions: This symptom occurs when all of the following conditions are met:
1) The crypto map is configured on a Virtual-Template interface.
2) This Virtual-Template interface is configured with "ip address negotiated".
3) The tunnel is initiated locally (in other words, if the tunnel is initiated by the peer, it comes

up correctly).
Workaround: Downgrade to Cisco IOS Release 15.2(2)T3 or earlier releases or always initiate the
VPN tunnel from the peer.

CSCud85342
Symptom: IKE responder fails to accept phase 1 proposal with rsa-sig authentication with public
RSA keys and no trustpoints configured.
Conditions: An authentication mechanism of rsa-sig is configured and rsa-encr cannot be used due
to hardware/software limitations.
Workaround: Use rsa-encr if supported, otherwise switch to using actual certificates with trustpoint
or pre-shared keys.

CSCud87915
Symptom: EzVPN client cannot access the Internet over the VPN. Access to Hub internal resources
works fine. The ZBF firewall on the Hub drops the encryptred ESP(udp) traffic from self to out
containing reply from the host on the Internet. Log on the hub:
*Dec 28 15:34:51.189: %FW-6-DROP_PKT: Dropping udp session 8.8.8.2:0 8.8.8.1:53000 on

member is reloaded in the topology, it causes TEK registration of the group member is lost once the
router comes back up and HSRP does state transition to standby.
Conditions: GETVPN with IPSec Redundancy configuration.
Workaround: Wait for next rekey or issue clear crypto gdoi.

CSCud92596
Symptom: When traffic is sent with VLAN2 tag between two ixia ports through ASR1004 as below.
After executing the command show controller, input vlan errors can be found and the counter
increases without any packet drops. It is also found that when show interface command is executed,
the value of input errors counter under related interface is 0.
Conditions: There is no known condition for this symptom.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCud94248
Symptom: Voice XML Gateway Crashes While Handling SIP Calls - caps nack'ed.
Conditions: A fax tone getting detected on the gateway is causing the gateway to send a T.38 Fax
offer on the SIP leg. However customer does not support fax calls and the gateway receives 400 Bad
Request Response for the T.38 Fax Offer. When responding with a ACK for 400 Bad Request
Response we are seeing a crash as for some reason ccb->pld.destVdbPtr is getting set to NULL.
Accessing the NULL pointer is causing a crash.
Workaround: Remove the fax configuration in "voice service voip->sip" will prevent the crash.

CSCud96896
Symptom: "x Calls in queue" status is not displayed on all agents in the hunt group.
Conditions: This happens when a particular agent is logged out, then the subsequent agents (i.e in
the order in which they are configured a list member) do not get the status update.
Workaround: Have all the agents logged in.

CSCue18003
Symptom: Packets drop occur when performing a ping from an ASR 1001 console with packets of
large size (i.e. several kilobytes).
Conditions: This issue is specific to the ASR 1001 and requires a burst of data from the Control
Plane to the Forwarding Plane such that internal hardware buffers are saturated. Normal processing
continues, however, there are drops when the hardware buffer is full.

Problem seems to be triggered by a "no-match' event prior to providing

expected responses.
Debugs show the following order of events:
GW instructs TTS server to say "please say yes or no, or press digits 1 or two".
GW instructs ASR to recognize.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCue37000
Symptom: GTP-U drops are noticed for communication that should not have been dropped.
Swisscom agrees that this might be related to some timers and pending PDP sessions that need to be
terminated. Since local tests with mobile devices are all successful, Swisscom wants and needs to
go for 24 hour test to see if the GTP-U drops really lead to a service impact for mobile users.
Conditions: There is no conditions.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCue39518
Symptom: A Cisco 7200 with VSA fails to encrypt traffic under specific conditions.

CSCue48419
Symptom: The Cisco AS5350 stops processing calls on PRI with a signaling backhaul from PGW.
In the packet trace, there is no q931message from PGW. Further analysis shows that as5350 sends
a q_hold (0x5)message in BSM, causing peer (PGW) to stop sending signaling traffic. However,
there is no BSM_resume message or BSM_reset sent after it. Hence, PGW is stuck in this condition.
There was earlier defect for CSCts75818 with similar symptoms in U-state.
Conditions: This symptom is observed due to some RUDP timing issues that cause BSM session
switchover.
Workaround: Reload the Cisco AS5350 (but only when CU notices the outage). Also, shutting both
Ethernet interfaces may help, but this workaround has not been tested.

Caveats in Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers Release 3.7.4S

Symptom: A FlexVPN spoke configured with an inside VRF and front-door VRF may have
problems with spoke-to-spoke tunnels if they are not the same. During tunnel negotiation, two
virtual-access interfaces are created (while only one is needed), the one in excess may fail to cleanup
correctly. As a result, the routes created by NHRP process may lead to loss of traffic, or traffic may
continue to flow through the Hub.
Conditions: This symptom occurs when the VRF used on the overlay (IVRF) and the VRF used on
the transport (FVRF) are not the same.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

Symptom: Spurious CPLD-EHSA interrupts are seen. These interrupts are seen in cmand_R*
tracelog file. Sometimes, these can also cause high CPU depending on the activity on the USB
device.
Conditions: When an external USB device is attached to an Intel-x86 based RP. This includes RP2,
1RU, 2KP platforms. RP1, 2RU, 2RU-F are PPC based platforms, so these do not have this issue.
On Intel x86 platforms, CPLD interrupt lines are shared with external USB devices. Spurious
CPLD-EHSA interrupts are in fact USB interrupts.
Workaround: Remove external USB device from the router when not in use.

Symptom: FXS ports on a Cisco VG224 running Cisco IOS versions 124-24T7 or 151-4M5 will stop
working randomly, user will hear a busy tone when going offhook on the analog device connected
to the FXS port on the VG224. The call status will show as "ERR_WAIT4_DISC" or
"ERR_WAIT4_ONHO" in the output of the command "show stcapp device summ" for that
problematic FXS port.
Conditions: The Cisco VG224's FXS ports are set up as STCAPP with Cisco Unified Callmanager
(CUCM) server and have the shared line feature enabled with a Cisco IP phone on the same CUCM
cluster.
Workaround: Remove the "shared line" feature if feasible or issue a "shut" followed by "no shut"
under the problematic FXS voice-port via the VG224's IOS command line interface (CLI) or issue
a manual "reload" on the VG224 during a maintenance window.

CSCug21413
Symptom: Call failure.
Conditions: Media antitrombone + Call farward cases + SDP passthrough.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCug28041
Symptom: In a NAT64 configuration, "show policy-map type inspect zone-pair sessions" shows
NATed ipv4 address for the ipv6 host. It should show the hosts' real IP addresses, i.e. v6->v4 or
v4->v6, not v4->v4.
The PD command sh plat ha qf ac fe fir da scb actually shows the scb's addresses as the real hosts'
addresses, i.e. v6->v4 or v4->v6. However, the v6 host's port number is still shown as the translated
v4 port number.
In the ZBFW datapath log at cpp_cp*.log, the session key printed in the debug messages is showing
wrong port number. The session key is supposed to be all v4, but the port number is actually printed
as v6 port number.
For the PD show scb command filter such as sh plat ha qf ac fe firewall datapath scb ipv6 3000::2
44 ::1d00:2 444, we can't use the v6 port to match the session and have to use v4 port of the v6 host
to match.
Conditions: NAT64 configuration. For the issues involving v6/v4 port numbers, they are only visible
if there is PAT configuration, i.e. if the v6 host's port number can be changed after NAT64
translation.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

The cpp_driver tracelog contains an entry indicating the Hoover PLL failed to lock. This could be
on CIF,FIF, or ICM. Here is an example from CIF:
01/01 16:22:35.120 [cpp-drv]: (ERR): COMP0053/CIF/1028: QFP0.0 - timeout waiting
for Hoover TX PLL to lock.

Conditions: Router configuration or traffic pattern does not affect this problem. This software error
is fixed in to XE3.7.4, XE3.9.2, XE3.10.0 and later releases.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCug69540
Symptom: ESP fails to initialize and reboots. Cman-fp indicates error due to Hoover PLL lock
failure.
Conditions: Router configuration or traffic pattern does not affect this problem. This software error
is fixed in to XE3.7.4, XE3.9.2, XE3.10.0 and later releases.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCug72874
Symptom:Group Member is regitering the third Key Server in its list in a redundant KS scenario,
when certificate of first KS has been revoked.
Conditions: This has been observed under the following conditions:
GM has a list of 3 or more Key server
Certificate based authentication with OCSP validation
First KS certificate has been revoked.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCug73374
Symptom: ASR 1001 prints following error messages and crashes: % Internal error: Connection to
peer process lost %MCP_SYS-0-ASSERTION_FAILED: SIP0: cmcc: Assertion failed: Assertion
failed: cman/cc/./src/cmcc_util.c:322: "bay < cmcc_max_spas_per_cc()".
Conditions: Issue show platform hardware subslot 0/3 plim statistics command in CLI.
Workaround: Not issuing show platform hardware subslot 0/3 plim command will avoid this
problem.

CSCug77988
Symptom: ZBFW syslog for passing and dropping ICMPv6 packets shows wrong value in the port
number fields. The src/dst port numbers should be the ICMP type and code. In addition, the passing
syslog is showing "Passing Unknown L4 protocol".
Conditions: The router is configured in 66, 64 or 46 case. syslog for pass or drop logging is enabled.
Sending ICMPv6(or ICMP from v4 side) packets.
Workaround: Not issuing show platform hardware subslot 0/3 plim command will avoid this

CSCug80427
Symptom: Bursty shape rate on high bandwidth queue.
Conditions: When there are 2 vlans configured each with a single simple shape queue, one with a
very high rate (ex. 400,000,000bps) and another with a very low rate (ex 128,000bps), the high rate
queue's rate may be bursty and fluctuate +- 10% of the configured rate.
Workaround: Configure a hierarchical policymap on the vlans where the shape is on the parent class,
not on the queue.

CSCug82610
Symptom: NAT translations could be stranded on the standby with NAT B2B and AR configuration.
Conditions: NAT translations could be stranded on the standby with timeout of zero.
Workaround: During a MW or downtime, execute the clear ip nat trans command on the active box.

CSCug83538
Symptom: Static routes injected through RRI (reverse-route static) are not getting removed.
Conditions: This symptom is observed when a static crypto map that has "reverse-route static"
enabled is applied on two different interfaces with a local-address.
Workaround: Reload the Router.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCug86085
Symptom: SBC SRTP ucode crash when doing srtp-rtp interworking.
Conditions: It seems this can happen in hairpined SRTP calls, though not able to reproduce in the
lab. The test scenario is: rtp----SBC-----SRTP--------SBC-------rtp
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCug86432
Symptom: Incorrect statistic from SNMP OID "1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.171.1.3.1.1", related to a number of
IPSec tunnels after running "clear crypto sa / session" command.
Conditions: Configured DMVPN, running "clear crypto sa / session" command.
Workaround: Reloadof router helps to solve the issue

CSCug88265

CSCug91165
Symptom: ESP may reload when switching classic to CGN mode.
Conditions: ESP may reload when switching classic to CGN mode with traffic.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCug92464
Symptom: NAT timeout when used with port command does not work as expected.
Conditions: IP NAT translation port-timeout tcp <port #> <timeout value> Above CLI with ip nat
translation tcp-timeout timeout value is used.
Workaround: Make use of just ip nat translation tcp-timeout timeout value command.

CSCug95864
Symptom: The router crashes when removing and re-attaching a child policy from/to the parent or
when removing and re-adding the fair-queue policy. The issue does not require traffic in the
background. It could occur with a policy on a single target, so scaling is not required to hit the
problem. It happens primarily on ESP-100, ASR1002-X and 1NG (Nightster). The issue does not
impact ESP-5, ESP-10, ESP-20 and ESP-40, ASR1001 and ASR1002. The issue does also NOT
impact the ISR and CSR platforms.
Conditions: When removing and re-applying a child policy or a policy that includes fair-queue, the
hierarchy grows by one layer each time the policy is re-adding. This result is broken functionality
and removing the policy would eventually result into a crash.
Workaround: The workaround is to remove the parent policy, modify the configuration then re-apply
the service policy. The issue could also occur dynamically when a subscribe signs off but there is no
workaround for this issue in that case.

CSCug98010
Symptom: Crash seen on Primary RP due to Null Pointer send during Bulk Policy Map delete.
Conditions: Deleting Bulk Cos Policies.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCug98593
Symptom: When the ZBFW SYN cookie protection feature is enabled and is being triggered, the
firewall will generate and send SYN packets to the server on behalf of the client. If the response
from the server isn't received in time, the firewall will re-generate and resend the SYN packet. In
this retransmitted SYN packet, the MSS option is missing and the sequence number is incorrect(it
is one number bigger than the ISN).
Conditions: ZBFW SYN cookie protection is configured and is being triggered. Server doesn't
respond in time and is causing the firewall to resend the SYN packet to the server.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCug98723
Symptom: The TCP RST packets generated by ZBFW are dropped by ZBFW on ASR box.
Conditions: TCP flow specific TCP RST packets generated by ASR to rset the connection to the
client and server when "TCP packet inspection" is on.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

Symptom: Multicast RP-Announcement or RP-Advertisement packet is replicated more than one


copy per incoming packet. The number of copies is equal to the number of interfaces or io items
with IC flag enabled (use the show ip mfib command to get the number of IC interfaces).
Conditions: AUTO-RP filter is configured on PIM interfaces.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCuh01007
Symptom: After ESP 100 reload, show policy-map interface command counters does not populate
results.
Conditions: This condition occurs with an egress service policy on SPA Gigabit Ethernet interface
and sending high or low priority traffic.
Workaround: Reload the SPA after FP reload.

CSCuh03859
Sympt om: If a customer configured snmp server enable traps sbc sla-violation-rev1
csbSLAViolationRev1 trap is not sent.
Conditions: This is a normal operation.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCuh04018
Sympt om: FMAN-FP traceback: cgm begin batch error.
Conditions: While adding classes to the ZBFW policy.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCuh09403
Symptom: ESP may reload in B2B NAT ZBFW setup.
Conditions: B2B NAT ZBFW setup with stateful traffic.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCuh09451
Symptom: Exception to IOS Thread: UNIX-EXT-SIGNAL: Segmentation fault(11), Process = SBC
main process.
Conditions: There is no workaround.

CSCuh11874
Symptom: The ASR1002-X Router reloads with core file reporting
CGI_CSR32_CGI_OTHER_LEAF_INT__INT_ECSR_PROTOCOL_ERR interrupt.
Conditions: Only applies to the ASR1002-X Router. This software error is fixed in the IOS XE3.7.4,
XE3.9.2, XE3.10.0 and later releases.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCuh12245
Symptom: cpp_cp process crashes.
Conditions: Change to the parent class of a session, which causes a rate update event to be performed
in the QFP hardware. At the same time, ANCP causes rate change on a VLAN shapper using mode-F
QoS. The shaper rate change causes the shaper on the VLAN to be removed and then re-applied.
Depending upon RP and FP CPU utilization, these events can be processed on the ESP as one QoS
transaction. where the sessions parent class has a rate change event and the session is also being

moved to an aggregation schedule node on the GE from the VLAN shaper schedule node. And then
the shaper is re-applied to the VLAN and the session is moved back to the VLAN shaper. This all
occurs in the same QoS transaction/commit on the ESP, causing the ESP to crash.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCuh17401
Symptom: NAT pool exhaustion with addresses with 0 refcount.
Conditions: This condition occurs while running NAT ALG and when port allocation failure occurs.
Workaround: To recover, execute clear ip nat trans command in off hours (as this is disruptive
operation).

CSCuh19209
Symptom: show ip wccp counters are not updated
Conditions: Configure more than 7 services on interface; disable some services; send traffic which
match the last configured service;
Workaround: When disabling service, also delete the configuration on interface.

CSCuh22742
Symptom: Callflow: Verizon - SIP trunk - CUBE (ASR 1000) - CUSP - Genesys - Interactions IVR.
CUBE does not ACK and BYE (glare handling case) after sending Cancel and receiving 200 Ok for
cancel from CUSP.
Conditions: Verizon cancelled the call 300 milliseconds (aprox) after sending the invite, it caused
the 200Ok of the invite and the Cancel to cross wire between CUSP and Genesy.
By that time CUSP had already sent 200 Ok for CANCEL to CUBE, thus CUBE did not respond to
the following 200 OK (for Invite).
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCuh29716
Symptom: Call flow: Verizon -- CUBE -- CUSP -- Genesys/IVR, transfered with SIP Refer back to
PSTN hair-pining the call on CUBE.
When the call is transferred from IVR to PSTN, the codec negotiation with verizon fails, only if the
original Invite received included fax capabilities, dropping the call with reason code 47 and hanging
the UDP port used.
All subsequent calls that try to re-use the same UDP port for RTP stream are dropped with reason
code 47 and provisn RSP fail is logged on show voip fpi stats
Conditions: Hair-pinned calls that received FAX capabilities on original SIP invite from Verizon.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCuh33069
Symptom: qfp crash
Conditions: handoff from gtpv0 to gtpv1
Workaround: no More Info:

CSCuh36750

CSCuh38488
Symptom: An ASR with zone-based firewall enabled may drop SIP INVITE packets with the
following drop reason:
Router#show platform hardware qfp active feature firewall drop
------------------------------------------------------------------------------Drop Reason
Packets
------------------------------------------------------------------------------L7 inspection returns drop
1
Router#

Conditions: Application (L7) inspection for SIP must be enabled for the flow.
Workaround: Any of the following workarounds are applicable:
Disable the port-to-application mapping for SIP with the no ip port-map sip port udp 5060

command. This prevents ZBF from treating UDP/5060 as SIP. Instead, it is treated as simple
UDP.
Use the pass action in both directions instead of inspect. This disables all inspection (even L4)

for the traffic.

CSCuh43018
Symptom: QFP reloads.
Conditions: Rarely occurs when issuing show platform hard qfp active feature nat da stats
command. Most likely to occur in CGN mode specifically after switching from classic to CGN
mode.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCuh44888
Symptom: PBHK update failure traceback from CPP-CP. AOM object download failure from
FMAN-FP..
Conditions: ISG sessions have PBHK features and RP switch-over.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCuh46031
Symptom: The Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Router sends a different
Acct-Session-Id in the Access-Request and Accounting-Request for the same user.
Conditions: Flex VPN IPSEC remote access is configured.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCuh50125
Symptom: ESP crashes.
Conditions: On ASR1002-X, ESP100 or ESP200 based platforms, ESP can crash when you have
interfaces where the bandwidth can change dynamically and you have a hierarchical QoS
policy-map applied.
Workaround: When applying a hierarchical QoS policy-map to ain interface that supports dynamic
bandwidth changes, be sure to apply the QoS policy while there are no bandwidth changes to the
interface at the same time.

CSCuh51400
Symptom: gtpv0 policy is not working.
Conditions: gtpv0 traffic.

CSCuh58209
Symptoms: ESP crashes in response to a show command.
Conditions: This only causes an ESP crash when the qid specified is an internal queue. It is safe for
interface or QoS-created queue. When issuing the show platform hardware qfp [active | standby]
infrastructure bqs [schedule | queue] qid command on a ASR1K 1002X, ESP100/FP100, and
ESP200/FP200 system.
Workaround: Avoid use of the show command to display internal queues.
PSIRT Evaluation: The Cisco PSIRT has assigned this bug the following CVSS version 2 score. The
Base and Temporal CVSS scores as of the time of evaluation are 3.8/3.1:

CSCuh62307
Symptom: Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Router may crash when customer uses
call-policy-set copy source source-address destination destination-address command to create a
new call-policy-set.
Conditions: The na-src-address-table is configured within the call-policy-set. Enter this table with
na-src-address-table XXX after it was created by call-policy-set copy command.
Workaround: instead of using call-policy-set copy source source-address destination
destination-address command, copy and paste the text into config terminal to create a new
call-policy-set.

CSCuh75480
Symptom: QFP reload may occur.
Conditions: When running NAT in CGN mode and doing a removal of a mapping.
Workaround: Switch to classic mode, to mapping removal, switch back to CGN mode.

CSCuh76529
Symptom: Unknown.
Conditions: Astro can require a core voltage of up to 1.00V. However, the voltage was defaulted to
0.9V for all Astro chips. If an Astro requires 1.0V is on a board, it is only operating at 0.9V and
could fail to operate properly at speed.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCuh85883
Symptom: mplssetvrf bgp routes are not coming up along with multi-vrf PBR.
Conditions: The destination address of the packet is ASR local address. Say, the packet is for us
packet.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCuh91266
Symptom: VTCP is not robust enough when it receives TCP segments with abnormal sequence ID.
This may result in FP crash. We observed a TCP packet much older than the current window on
customer network.
Conditions: Abnormal sequenced TCP segments are received when VTCP buffering current flows.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

Symptom: The Calling-Station-Id is not sent in the accounting-request.
Conditions: Easy VPN server or Flex VPN remote access is configured along with the "radius-server
attribute 31 remote-id" command.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCuh95125
Symptom: ESP-100 may crash continuously on an ASR1K box with cpp_svr crashes causing the FP
to go down.
Conditions: Numerous QoS sessions with a single queue being created on an interface in a
per-session basis on a Yoda platform (ASR1002-X/ESP100/ESP200).
Workaround: None at the moment More Info: This bug only affects Yoda platforms with large
number of singe queued QoS policies being applied on a per session basis on an interface.

CSCui06926
Symptom:
Initiator sends identity certificate based on 'ca trustpoint' under the
isakmp-profile.
However, the responder does not do this. Instead it gets the identity certificate from the *first*

trustpoint (out of the list of trustpoints) based on peer's cert_req payload in MM3.
Conditions:
IKEv1 with RSA-SIg Authentication, where each Peer has two certificates issued by the same

CA.
Each Peer has isakmp profiles defined that match on certificate-map and have 'ca trustpoint'

statements with self-identity as fqdn.


Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCui24927
Symptom: Data rate for a QoS shaped MLPPPoA/MLPPPoEoA traffic class may exceed the
configured QoS shape rate.
Conditions: This issue will be apparent if a parent or child shaper is defined on the MLPPP bundle
interface that is less than the configured PVC data rate.
Workaround: The user can explicitly tell the shaper to account for the ATM Cell Overhead by
appending the "account user-defined 0 atm" configuration option to the shaper configuration.
Example:
shape rate rate account user-defined 0 atm
Note that if the session is already active when modifying the QoS policy-map, the session may need
to be restarted for the QoS modification to take affect.
This issue will be addressed in the upcoming XE3.8, XE3.10, and later releases. This issue will not
be addressed in XE3.8 and XE3.9 and will require migration to XE3.10 or later releases to pick up

Caveats in Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers Release 3.7.4S

Symptom: Call flow: Verizon -- CUBE -- CUSP -- Genesys/IVR, transfered with SIP Refer back
to PSTN hair-pining the call on CUBE. When the call is put on hold to be transferred from IVR to
PSTN, the CODEC negotiation fails, dropping the call with reason code 47 and hanging the UDP
port used. All the subsequent calls that try to reuse the same UDP port for RTP stream are dropped
with reason code 47 and provison RSP failure is logged on show voip fpi stats command.
Conditions: Hair-pinned calls that receive multiple M-Lines on the SDP received from Verizon on
the original SIP Invite.
Workaround: There is no workaround. Reload of router is required to clear hung UDP ports.

CSCui27725
Symptom: When ASR1000 connect with ISO HDLC equipment, the ATOM PW traffic could not
transparent successfully.
Conditions: In L2VPN ATOM PW configuration, AC on the PE is CISCO HDLC encapsulation, and
CE equipment is ISO HDLC.
Workaround:
CE configure CISCO HDLC.
CE configure as the FR, and PE configure as HDLC.

CSCui38316
Symptom: The ESP crashes when updating a highly scaling configuration with a large number of
flow-controllable nodes. The crash could be observed during dynamic reconfigurations such as
changing the rates of a scheduling node, e.g. an ATM VC due to changing L2 shaping or QOS via
MQC.
The crash could also occur due to growing a scheduling node or moving an ATM VC from one
class-of-service node to another.
There are several other scenarios that could lead to a transformation of a hierarchy in order to lay
out the tree correctly to meet the hardware requirements. One such example is applying a flat policy
to or removing a child policy from a policy attached to an ATM VC.
Conditions: While transforming a hierarchy, there are hardware primitives used to execute the
update logic safely. One of requirements for this procedure is to move flow-control from the old tree
to the new tree in a particular order to prevent packets from getting out of order. The BQS resource
manager had a bug that caused the update to deplete internal flow-control IDs.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCui49230
Symptom: After reloading ASR1k with redundancy RP/FP, HDLC pass through configuration
remains but control flag actually lost.
Conditions: ASR1k with redundancy RP/ESP Configured HDLC pass-through and reload, or FP
switchover for two times.
Workaround: Manually re-config the CLI after reload.

Symptoms: Static routes are not getting removed.
Conditions: This symptom is observed with Smap - Smap. Removal of CLI does not remove the
static route.
Workaround: Remove the ACL before removing the SA.

CSCud41480
Symptom: QFP may reload.
Conditions: The known conditions for this are to have oneFirewall and NAT configured on a
ASR1002-X, but crash is intermittent.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCue50255
Symptom: ucode crashes at REM_REM_MISC_ERR_LEAF_INT_INT_REM_POP_REQ_TO_EMPTY_SCHE
Conditions: on flapping multilink interfaces
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCuf04726
Symptom: With IPsec (crypto-map mode) configured, after VFR disable followed by ASR reboot,
the no ip virtual-reassembly-out CLI is lost and VFR is re-enabled.
Conditions:
1. Apply crypto map on the interface.
2. Manually disable VFR with the no ip virual-reassembly-out command.
3. Save config.
4. Reload.
Workaround: After reload, again disable VFR with no ip virual-reassembly-out.

CSCuf20409
Symptom: Netsync customer seeing clock in ql-failed state on one ASR-2ru.
Conditions: The issue occurred when distributing stratum 1 clock source through its network.
Workaround: If both SPAs are in the same slot, do not send the secondary config.

CSCug08561
Symptom: After a Web logon, the user does not get a Web logon response page sent by the portal.
If the Web logon is successful, the user is not redirected to the Web address specified. Instead, the
user is redirected to the portal for authentication.
Conditions:
1. Walkby feature is enabled with L4R & PBHK features applied to lite session.
2. User initiated the Web logon request.
Details: Upon a Web logon, an account-logon COA request is triggered from the portal to ISG. In
ISG, the request triggers conversion of the lite session to a dedicated session. During the conversion,
lite session and its associated resources (L4R and PBHK mappings) are removed from PD, and the

OL-26698-16

Caveats in Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers Release 3.7.3S

dedicated session gets provisioned. Once conversion is done, ISG replies to the portal with COA
ACK/NACK. Based on the response from ISG, the portal generates a Web logon response-page
(SUCCESS/FAILURE) and sends it back to the client.
But when the response packet reaches ISG, it does not get classified to the downstream session
(because PBHK & L4R mapping were deleted). As a result, the packet is dropped in ISG.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCug27334
Symptom: ASR router might start using new SPIs before quick mode exchange finishes. This causes
invalid SPI messages on the receiver side and, in some cases, flap of IKE/IPsec.
Conditions: First seen on IOS XE 15.2(4)S with DMVPN.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCtz21456
Symptom: A router has an unexpected reload due to CCSIP_SPI_CONTROL process.
Conditions: This issue has been seen in Cisco IOS Release 15.2(3)T.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCtz55145
Symptom: Files cannot be downloaded using the management interface via FTP or HTTP. SCP
might also be affected. This can include firmware files, configuration files, or license files.
Conditions: This symptom occurs when using the management interface on a RP2 route processor
or the Cisco ASR 1000 router.
Workaround: Use an interface other than the management interface to download the file or use a
protocol that does not use TCP as the session transport, for example, TFTP. If you need to use the
management interface, see the workaround attached to the caveat.

CSCtz78943
Symptom: A Cisco router experiences a spurious access or a crash. Cisco ISR-G1 routers such as a
1800/2800/3800 experience a spurious access. ISR-G2 routers such as the Cisco 2900/3900 routers
that use a Power PC processor crash because they do not handle spurious accesses.
Conditions: This symptom occurs after enabling a crypto map on an HSRP-enabled interface.
Workaround: There is no workaround

CSCua10477
Symptom: The ASR1002-X Series Aggregation Services Router with large numbers of MLPPP
bundles might experience a crash, with the following error message: %CPPOSLIB-3-ERROR_NOTIFY:

---------------------------------------------------

Conditions: This symptom is observed with the following conditions: - MGCP gateway. - Take out
all the modules from the router. - Put the modules one by one. - Apply the configuration. - The router
is stable. The lab test recreated as follows: 1) Disable auto-configuration, that is, "no ccm-manager
config". 2) Reload the gateway. 3) Enable the CCM manager configuration and the router does not
crash.
Workaround 1: Bypass the start-up configuration and log in via ROMmon without any configuration.
Add the configuration one by one. Once the configuration is added, save the configuration and
reload the gateway.
Workaround 2: Shut down the router and add the cards one by one in slots 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4. The
device is stable until the third slot is inserted and brought up. As soon the router is powered on, after
adding the fourth slot, the crash starts. Shut down the router and remove the card in slot 4
(EVM-HD-8FXS/DID). Bring the device up without the card in slot 4 (EVM-HD-8FXS/DID).
Remove the "mgcp" and "ccm-manager fallback-mgcp" configuration from the device because the
console log is displaying the "Call Manager backhaul registration failed" error message. Shut down
the router and add the card which was removed. Bring up the router. Read the ccm-manager
fallback-mgcp command and do a "no mgcp/mgcp". The router becomes stable.
Workaround 3: Remove the ccm-manager config command by no ccm-manager config which tears
down the connection from the call manager to the MGCP gateway. The gateway will not download
the configuration from the call agent at the time of startup. Reload the router. Once the router is back
and stable, readd the command.

CSCub56842
Symptoms: The router stops passing IPsec traffic after some time.

Conditions: This symptom is observed when the show crypto eli command output shows that during
every IPsec P2 rekey, the active IPsec-Session count increases, which does not correlate to the max
IPsec counters displayed in the SW.
Workaround: Reload the router before active sessions reach the max value. To verify, do as follows:

CSCub69764
Symptom: Occasionally, after full chassis reload, all ATM autovc fail to come up upon reception of
PADI. CPE gets no PADO. All PPPoEoA sessions fail to establish on the chassis.
Conditions: Trigger unknown. This condition occurs intermittently, after full chassis reload, once
every ~50 reloads.
Workaround: If the condition occurs, reload the chassis again.

CSCub74272
Symptom: Intermittently during Phase II rekey, after new SPIs are negotiated and inserted into SPD,
old SPIs are removed and then VTI tunnel line protocol goes down.
Conditions: This symptom is observed with Cisco IOS Release 15.2(3)T, with VTI over GRE.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCub89144
Symptoms: In a VTI scenario with HSRP stateless HA, the tunnel state on standby is up/up.
Conditions: This symptom occurs when HSRP is configured and there is no SSO configuration.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCub90459
Symptoms: If CUBE has midcall reinvite consumption enabled, it also consumes SIP 4XX
responses. This behavior can lead to dropped or hung calls.
Conditions: This symptom occurs when midcall reinvite consumption is enabled.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCuc12685
Symptom: Address Error exception is observed with ccTDUtilValidateDataInstance.
Condition: This symptom is observed with ccTDUtilValidateDataInstance.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCuc24937
Symptom: The voice gateway router is configured as a CME for handling ephone reloads due to
spurious memory access.
Condition: This symptom occurs as the voice gateway router is capable of handling ephones. Reload
is very specific to ephone handling.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

Caveats in Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers Release 3.7.3S

Conditions: This symptom occurs when:


The ASR1001 IOS is upgraded from 03.05.02 or older to 03.06.00 or later.
The IOS is downgraded from 03.06.00 or later to 03.05.02 or older.

Workaround: Without this fix: Do a license save from 3.4 before the upgrade and re-install in 3.6 in
34, save all the licenses to a file to bootflash 1RU#license save <file location> in 36 , install back
all the licenses from the file 1RU#license install <file location>.
With this fix: To avoid this, customers have to create a file in the bootflash called
1RU_34_36_ENFORCE_LICENSE_MIGRATION to enforce the migration of all the licenses
before the upgrade process. The file will be removed automatically after the license migration.
For example: 1RU#license save bootflash:1RU_34_36_ENFORCE_LICENSE_MIGRATION
For the routers, which are already experiencing this issue, customers can either try to reinstall the
licenses or downgrade to 34, create the file in bootflash and upgrade with 36 or later image with
this fix again.

CSCuc40448
Symptoms: No-way audio is observed on hair-pinned calls back from CUBE to SIP Provider. The
call flow is as follows: PSTN caller --Verizon---(sip)---ASR
CUBE---(sip)---CUSP---(sip)---Genesis (SIP refer sent to transfer back to Verizon) -- CUSP CUBE - Verizon -- PSTN
Conditions: This symptom is observed only after upgrading to Cisco IOS Release 15.2(2)S.
Workaround: Modify the diversion header on the transfer leg invite. Therefore, the Verizon handles
the call differently.

CSCuc42518
Symptom: Cisco IOS Unified Border Element (CUBE) contains a vulnerability that could allow a
remote attacker to cause a limited Denial of Service (DoS). Cisco IOS CUBE may be vulnerable to
a limited Denial of Service (DoS) from the interface input queue wedge condition, while trying to
process certain RTCP packets during media negotiation using SIP.
Conditions: Cisco IOS CUBE may experience an input queue wedge condition on an interface
configured for media negotiation using SIP when certain sequence of RTCP packets is processed.
All the calls on the affected interface would be dropped.
Workaround: Increase the interface input queue size. Disable Video if not necessary.

CSCuc46087
Symptoms: CUBE does not send a response to an early dialog UPDATE in a glare scenario.
Conditions: This symptom occurs when CUBE receives an early dialog UPDATE when it sends
200OK to INVITE and expects ACK.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCuc54604
Symptom: CUBE SP does not respond to any SIP messages sent across using TCP. SIP using UDP
works fine. Call Flow: Multiple CUCM's ---> SIP --->CUBE SP--->Provider.
Conditions: This defect is noticed on 15.2(01)S01 and is only active when we have calls running SIP
TCP. Reason for this behavior is that during the create or close transaction on TCP, the control buffer
would be on hold. Therefore, if close of existing TCP connection is needed while the control buffer
are all being held, the connection would be marked as dead but not able to notify corresponding peer,
therefore the peer might still send data through that connection, which CUBE-SP would think as
invalid and get dropped internally.

CSCuc56136
Symptom: Traffic fails to pass on PW.
Conditions: Configure xconnect on EFP and do RP SSO.
Workaround: Reconfigure the EFP and xconnect.

CSCuc65424
Symptoms: On dual RP configurations, a standby route processor might crash when establishing
new interfaces (could be PPP sessions).
Conditions: This symptom is observed when IDB reuse is turned on, for a dual RP configuration,
and when some interfaces are deleted and created again.
Workaround: Turn off the IDB reuse option.

CSCuc69342
Symptoms: About 10 minutes after CUBE boot, the router crashes with the following traceback:
Traceback= 5B01805 46158ED 45F4F57 45BB19E 45BA1CF 451D6DC 4525549 45252D9
4519C30 45196A9 4778FFD. After the reload from the crash, it may take sometime before it crashes
again.
Conditions: This symptom occurs when CUBE receives the SIP REFER message with the Refer-To
header having no user part.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCuc85157
Symptom: The packet is dropped with the reason NatIn2out.
Conditions: This symptom is observed due to the PAT.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCuc89800
Symptom: Receive a for_us packet with multiple (thousands of) tunnel headers, make ESP crash.
Conditions: Router A-------Router B-------Router C there is a tunnel T1 between A and C. In the
router A, there is a PBR that makes the packets from B transmitted through T1. In router B there is
a default route pointing to A. Then in router A a packet is transmitted through T1 encapsulated with
a GRE header. When this packet arriving at router B, due to the flapping of route between B and C,
it cannot be sent to C. But it will be sent to A because of the default route. When the packet arriving
at A, according to the PBR rule, it will be transmitted through T1 again encapsulated one more GRE
header. again and again, this packet will be encapsulated with thousands of GRE header. At last,
when the route between B and C no longer flaps, it will arrive at C, and make C crash.
Workaround: Workaround for customer's scenario: Customer can configure a ACL in router C 's
tunnel T1 interface, deny the packet if it has an inner header with the same src addr and dst addr
with outer header. But this workaround can't cover the scenario of an attack packet encapsulated
with multiple different tunnel headers.

CSCuc93739
Symptom: Phase 2 for EzVPN client with split network and VTI does not come up if IPSec SA goes
down.

Caveats in Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers Release 3.7.3S

Conditions: The root cause of the issue is that IPsec SA is not being triggered after IPsec SA is down
due to no traffic. So in spite of traffic IPsec SA is not coming up leading to packet drops in client
network. The same problem is not seen with Cisco IOS Release 15.0(1)M7. This behavior is
introduced post-PAL where virtual-interface creates a ruleset where traffic cannot trigger IPsec SA
again once IPsec SA is deleted.
Workaround The following are workarounds for this symptom:
Configure ip sla on EZVPN client for split networks, so that IPSec SA will not go down.
Remove virtual-interface from EZVPN client profile if it is not needed.

Workaround: Disable the SCTP session: ipc zone default association 1 shutdown.

CSCud64870
Symptom: DMVPN hub ASR1004 may crash after the fetching CRL from MS CRL server.
Conditions: The crash happens when there are 5 CDPs for the hub router to fetch CRL. Given that
there are multiple CDPs, the hub router fetches CRL in a parallel way, which then lead to a crash
under a timing issue.
Workaround: Setting up only 1 CDP instead of multiple CDPs will avoid the timing condition which
leads to the crash.

CSCud66316
Symptom: Log messages for REJECT Create-session-response are not printed in sys-log.
Conditions: GTP AIC should be configured in the UUT.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCud66955

CSCud75856
Symptom: Presence of FP core file.
Conditions: Under certain very rare (unreproducible in lab) conditions, multicast LRE code can run
out of rbufs while serially processing packets, presumably because of the feature chain executed.
Workaround: Disabling MLRE through configuration command "platform multicast lre off" can be
done if condition occurs.

CSCud86039
Symptom: ASR1K router running NAT with a keyword of "oer" in the NAT overload mapping can
cause disruption to the NATted sessions when the PfR feature changes the exit link.
Conditions: ASR1K router running NAT with PfR with a oer keyword in the NAT configuration can
result in this condition.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCud86240
Symptom: The Cisco ASR 1000 ESP crashes (ucode core file created) when compressed packets
are sent on a Multilink PPP interface using the Cisco IOS XE 3.5 Release and earlier Cisco ASR
1000 software images. On Cisco IOS XE 3.6 Release and later on Cisco ASR 1000 software images
a crash does not occur, but routed traffic on configured interfaces are not forwarded. However, local
traffic between the peer routers may still be forwarded. In all releases, routed traffic will be dropped
on any other interfaces (for example, PPP, Multilink PPP, HDLC, and so on.) configured for this
mode of compression.
Conditions: This symptom is observed if the legacy IOS compression feature compress [mppc | stac
| predictor] is configured on any interface (for example, PPP, Multilink PPP, HDLC, and so on.). If
this feature is configured on a Multilink PPP interface then the ESP crash can be encountered if
using an Cisco IOS XE 3.5 Release and an earlier Cisco ASR 1000 software image.
Workaround: Remove the compress [mppc | stac | predictor] feature configuration from all interfaces
as this functionality is not supported on the Cisco ASR 1000 router. The software fix associated with
this bug report will be removing this configuration option from the Cisco ASR 1000 router.

CSCud88359
Symptom: Rx traffic drop on the ESP seen by IN_RECV_UNKNOWN_OCT_ERR counter.
Conditions: When IP header checksum is "0" or "0xFFFF". This counter can be checked using the

Caveats in Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers Release 3.7.2S

Conditions: The issue is seen in VPLS scaled test bed after running certain functionality tests. The
issue is reproducible on running the script.
Workaround: The issue is not reproducible manually.

CSCub69764
Symptom: Occasionally, after a full chassis reload, all ATM autovc fail to come up after reception
of PADI. CPE gets no PADO. All PPPoEoA sessions fail to establish on the chassis.
Conditions: Trigger unknown. This is occurring intermittently, after full chassis reload, once every
~50 reloads.
Workaround: If the condition occurs, reload the chassis.

CSCuc55907
Symptom: Under certain circumstances, an Aggregation Services Router 1000 with a single
Embedded Service Processor 40 (ESP40) and dual Router Processor 2 cards (RP2), will reload if the
ESP40 is replaced.
Conditions: When running an ASR1000 with dual RP2 running is SSO mode and a single FP40, if
the FP40 is removed/replaced, the entire router will reload and leave a core file behind. The router
is working as an L2TP access concentrator with thousands of active tunnels and passing traffic, but
other situations my trigger the same reaction.
Workaround: Running with redundant FP40 may help alleviate the situation.

CSCuc65424
Symptom: On dual RP configuration, a standby route processor might crash when establishing new
interfaces (could be PPP sessions).
Conditions: This symptom is observed when db reuse is turned on, on a dual RP configuration.
Some interfaces are deleted and recreated.
Workaround: Turn off the idb reuse option.

CSCuc85157
Symptom: Packet is dropped with reason of NatIn2out.
Conditions: PAT
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCuc89800
Symptom: Configured IP GRE tunnel causes ESP to crash.
Conditions: A packet containing multiple IP/GRE headers being similar causes ESP to crash.
Workaround: Configure ACL to block the traffic.

CSCuc90992
Symptom: in a scale situation with several DENY statements and several NAT pools, the following
configuration hit the deny-jump. TCAM limitation and NAT does not work.
Oct 16 16:27:33.835 MEST: %CPP_FM-3-CPP_FM_TCAM_ERROR: F0: cpp_sp: TCAM limit
exceeded: Class group nat-class:1001.1 could not be successfully edited. Please remove
the class group from the interface.

Conditions: NAT and SIP NAT ALG are required. For SIP NAT ALG, not all embedded IP addresses
within SIP payload need to be translated. For this reason, aa exceptions need to be defined.

Conditions: When the testcase for RRI, reverse-route remote-peer 16.0.0.1 gateway is checked,
route is not found on the router.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCtz94286
Symptom: IOS router with enabled ISM-VPN-29 module does not process ESP traffic when GRE
packets are denied on the outside ACL.
Conditions: There are 2 conditions that must BOTH be met to experience this issue: 1. The router
uses an ISM-VPN module, and the module is installed and enabled. 2. There is an ACL on the
'outside' interface of the router that does not permit GRE traffic from the remote IPSec peer.
Workaround: There are 2 work-arounds for this issue: 1. Permit GRE traffic from the remote IPSec
peer or 2. Disable the ISM-VPN module.

CSCua45206
Symptom: Hub router crashes while removing Stale Cache entry.

Conditions: TCP is used for Sip signalling.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCua91473
Symptoms: Memory leak occurs during rekey on the IPsec key engine process.
Conditions: This symptom occurs after rekey, when the IPsec key engine does not release KMI
memory, causing the IPsec key engine holding memory to keep increasing.
Workaround: Clear crypto session for IPsec key engine to release memory.

CSCua94563
Symptom: Traceroute may return * * * instead of host.
Conditions: When going v4->v6 through NAT64 stateful on ASR1k.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCub05559
Symptom: on 1ru, after system booted rarely the bootflash (eUSB) gets disconnected. as a result,
the system will reboot as the system cannot stay up without eUSB storage.
Conditions: This can occurs randomly (no specific pattern, but usually after 2~3 days). so this is a
big issue for system stability.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCub13983
Symptom: There are 2 calls to mcp-sysinit.
Conditions: This issue is observed all the time.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCub19408
Symptom: Router may no longer be accessed through the console port. Power cycle is required to
recover.

Symptom: A "show interface" on a SPA interface shows "0" for "unknown protocol drops", yet when
the same interface is polled for ifInUnknownProtocols, a value is returned.
Conditions: Normal polling.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCub69414
Symptom: Traceback at FreeUInt64 on booting up router.
Conditions: This symptom is observed on an ASR1006 running mcp_dev towards XE38. On booting
up the router a traceback is seen.
Workaround: Tracebacks are seen because of snmp-server enable traps entity-qfp mem-res-thresh.
Disable the snmp-server enable traps entity-qfp mem-res-thresh.

CSCub73484
Symptom: Standby ESP100 reloaded.
Conditions: 4K IKEv2 IPv6 static crypto map 4k VRF (ivrf = fvrf). Running bi-directional IMIX
traffic @ 4Gbps for 5 minutes.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCub76612
Symptom: the console reports "%FMFP-3-OBJ_DWNLD_TO_CPP_FAILED: F0: fman_fp_image:
PFR TT Enable download to CPP failed" and prints traceback. also, ASR may reload with fman_fp
core file.
Conditions: FMAN-FP reports PfR ERR log when there is PfR session flapping between MC and
BR.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCub82275
Symptom: An ASR 1K may experience reloads on the ESP module due to a CPP driver fault during
an in-2-out NAT translation. Issue has been seen with IOS 15.2S, but not in 15.1S.
Conditions: NAT enabled. No other requirements known.
Workaround: Disable NAT or downgrade to a 15.1 release.

CSCub85608
Symptom: ASRNAT address leak may occur. This will show a larger number of allocated addresses
in 'sh ip nat stat', then the translations that exist for that address through 'sh ip nat trans'.
Conditions: This issue only occurs when a dynamic route-map configuration is used and the NAT
sub-drop code ESP_CREATE_FAIL is incrementing (there must be ESP traffic).
Workaround: The leaked addresses can be reclaimed periodically by executing a 'clear ip nat trans
*', but that will be disruptive to users so it should be scheduled for off-hours.

CSCub89150
Symptom: Pw with backup.
Conditions: Switch between active/standby pw.
Workaround: Reload the routers.

CSCub89157
Symptom: Message is dropped.

CSCub95141
Symptoms: FP Pending Refs are observed when "cypto map <> local-address loopbackX" is
removed from the configuration when the crypto map is applied on a subinterface.
Conditions: This symptom is observed with the following configuration: crypto map cry
local-address Loopback0 interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0.100 crypto map cry interface
GigabitEthernet0/0/0.200

crypto map cry.

Workaround: Remove "crypto map" from the subinterface first and then remove "crypto map <>
local-address loopbackX."

CSCub97641
Symptom: When netflow test is performed on NAT cgn mode, an abnormal netflow log was found.
This issue is not observed in the default mode.
Conditions: Config as cgn mode: ip nat log translations flow-export v9 udp destination

Symptom: On serial interface the IOS counters for input packets, input errors and aborts increase
even after the interface is administratively shutdown.
Conditions: No specific condition.
Workaround: As this is a corner case situation, un-shutting and shutting down the interface may
resolve the issue.

CSCuc05671
Symptom: The console reports "[aom]: (ERR): Unable to find async context for AOM" and
traceback.
Conditions: FMAN-FP reports PfR ERR log when there is PfR session flapping between MC and
BR.

CSCuc16716
Symptom: This is not a defect but an enhancement, so there are no symptoms.
Conditions: This is an enhancement, so there are no conditions.
Workaround: It is not an defect but only and enhancement.

CSCuc25529
Symptom: Static routes created by RRI are created with the wrong mask for subnet acls.
Conditions: This has been observed on an ASR1k and 7200 running IOS 15.2(4)S and 15.1(4)M.
Workaround: Configure a static route to the remote network manually.

CSCuc26232
Symptom: Reload indicating "stuck thread" may occur.
Conditions: On clear ip nat translations vrf <vrf-name> *
Workaround: Use clear ip nat trans * This issue exists only on XE3.7.1.

CSCuc32543
Symptom: Changes in the configured ppp multilink fragment size or fragment delay are not pushed
down to the data path for Broadband MLPPP sessions. Note that this issue does not apply to MLPPP
over Serial connections.
Conditions: If ppp multilink fragmentation is enabled on a Broadband MLPPP bundle before the
bundle is established and the user later attempts to modify the fragment size or fragment delay, the
resulting fragment size changes are not pushed down to the data path (that is, the original fragment
size configuration is retained). The IOS show ppp multilink command indicates that the new
fragment size was applied but in fact the new fragment size may not yet be active.
Workaround: After changing the fragment size or fragment delay configuration, restart the Multilink
PPP session. This can be accomplished through the clear ppp interface
<Bundle-Virtual-Access-intf-name> command.

CSCuc34574
Symptoms: A pending-issue-update is seen at SSL CPP CERT on the Cisco ASR 1002, ESP-1000

CSCuc42083
Symptom: fman_fp Core file seen.
Conditions: Config GreoIPsec with tunnel protection and configure more than 1k route-maps.
Workaround: There is no Workaround.

CSCuc44071
Symptom: GRE keep-alives are going out unencrypted if the Tunnel interface is in "up / protocol
down" state.
Conditions: ASR1K platform (reproduced on 3.4S through 3.7S). GRE/IPsec using tunnel
protection keep-alives configured on GRE/IPsec tunnel - Tunnel interface in protocol down state
because of previously missed GRE keepalives - PIM configured on Tunnel interface - "ip
multicast-routing distributed" configured globally.
Workaround: Disable "ip multicast-routing distributed" (possible performance impact) or remove
PIM configuration from Tunnel interface. The GRE keep-alives will be encrypted as long as there
is no CEF adjacency on the Tunnel interface when in protocol down state (that is, no output from
show adjacency tunnel <number> detail).

CSCuc45528
Symptoms: Incremental leaks are seen at :__be_nhrp_recv_error_indication.
Conditions: This symptom occurs when the NHRP error indication is received on the box. This issue
is seen only if CSCub93048 is already present in the image. CSCub93048 is available from Cisco

CSCuc47399
Symptoms: IKEv2 STOP Accounting records show wrong counters for packets/octets, when the
sessions are locally cleared using clear crypto sa or clear crypto session.
Conditions: This symptom is observed with latest Cisco IOS XE Release 3.8S images when
IKEV2-Accouting is enabled. This issue is easily reproducible with a single session, and may be
service impacting as STOP Accounting records are usually used for billing purposes.
Workaround: The STOP records reflect the right counters when the disconnect is through the
remote-end.

CSCuc57822
Symptom: NBAR classification granularity reduced for some protocols or some protocols may be
classified as unknown.
Conditions: The following command can be used to clearly know if this is the bug at hand: test
platform hardware qfp active feature nbar function sui_gmc_show_chunks_brief. If the
"errors?" column has a non zero value, it is likely caused by the problem described here.
Workaround: Restarting NBAR will typically solve the problem. If a protocol pack is loaded, a
simple way to restart NBAR would be to unload and reload the protocol pack. In order to
workaround the problem and verify that the problem is resolved, use the following steps: 1. Clear
the above counters using the command: test platform hardware qfp active feature nbar function
sui_gmc_reset_counters 2. Verify that the number of errors has been cleared: test platform
hardware qfp active feature nbar function sui_gmc_show_chunks_brief 3. Enter configure
mode: config terminal 4. Unload the protocol pack: no ip nbar protocol-pack
<protocol-pack-filename> 5. Re-load the protocol pack: ip nbar protocol-pack
<protocol-pack-filename> 6. Verify the number of errors is 0: test platform hardware qfp active
feature nbar function sui_gmc_show_chunks_brief.

CSCuc58513
Symptom: Fp reload.
Conditions: ALG traffic with ACL limit configuration.
Workaround: Remove ACL limit configuration with ALG traffic.

Workaround: Use sh ip nat trans and its filters for showing this information.

CSCuc71706
Symptoms: Execution of the show run command and other commands such as copy run start and
show access-list cause the router to stop for a few minutes before completing.
Conditions: This symptom is observed with Cisco ISR G2 routers. This issue is seen only with IPV6
configured and used.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCuc74857
Symptom: NAT address pool exhaustion with high DNS traffic.
Conditions: Payload addresses in DNS PTR record natted without active NAT bindings. RFC 2694
suggests that DNS PTR queries should not be translated if no active bindings are found in the NAT
translation table. Per current implementation, new NAT dynamic bindings are created when
processing DNS PTR queries, eventually contributing to NAT address pool exhaustion.
Workaround: Add deny ACL to avoid NAT translation of unknown payload addresses in the DNS
PTR query. Turn off dns alg service if possible.

This section documents the unexpected behavior that might be seen in Cisco ASR 1000 Series
Aggregation Services Routers Release 3.7.1S.

CSCtt01529
Symptom: A %SPA_CHOCX-3-FATAL_ERROR occurs on hard online removal of
SPA-1XCHSTM1-OC3 when controller of the SPA is configured as net-sync clock source on the
Cisco ASR1002-X router.
Conditions: This issue occurs when controller of SPA-1XCHSTM1-OC3 is configured as the active
network-clock input source.
Workaround: Avoid hard removal of the SPA when SPA-1XCHSTM1-OC3 is selected as the current
active clock input. However, insterting the SPA in the same subslot after the occurrence of this error
does not affect the netsync capability. Therefore, the error while SPA removal can be neglected.

Caveats in Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers Release 3.7.1S

If the system is configured to auto boot, reconfigure the TFTP_TIMEOUT environment variable
from its present value to a value longer than the expected boot time, considering the network and
server load. If the system finds itself in this slow-booting mode while auto booting, the transfer will
time out, and autoboot will reset and attempt to net boot the file again.
A value of 300 seconds can be chosen as a suggested starting value. From the ROMMON prompt
run:
TFTP_TIMEOUT=300
sync

Note

This caveat pertains to the 15.2(4r)S1 ROMMON release.


CSCty49537
Symptom: When IPX traffic is introduced at 150 KPPS and the punt policer is changed from
40KPPS to the highest limit, which is 146 KPPS, lsmpi-rx consumes more CPU resources and tail
drops occur.
Conditions: This issue occurs when punt traffic is introduced at high rates while the punt policer is
modified from the default setting.
Workaround: Do not maintain a high punt packet traffic rate.

CSCtz64939
Symptom: Cisco ASR1000 RP2 and Cisco ASR1001 may report the following message:
%IOSXEBOOT-1-BOOTFLASH_FAILED_MISSING: (rp/0): Required Bootflash disk failed or
missing, reloading system.

The reload of the system recovers the device. There is no loss of data due to the device disconnect.
In a redundant hardware configuration, there is no loss of service, and the standby takes control
when the active system reloads. In a dual IOSd configuration, the platform reloads fully. If the eUSB
is inaccessible during boot, an additional reload may occur, resulting in a longer-than-expected boot
time.
Conditions: This error may occur when an embedded eUSB device is a part of the configuration.
Workaround: There is no workaround to avoid the disconnect of the boot flash device. Since the boot
flash device is monitored as a critical device for correct system operation, it is necessary to reload
the system to reset and recover the device.

ICMP packet.
Conditions: This issue occurs when a prefix is routed to the null interface.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCty05282
Symptom: After some reloads, the last reload reason in show version output is seen as LocalSoft.
Conditions: The conditions under which these symptom is observed is unknown.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCty55408
Symptom: Pending issues and acknowledgments are observed after unconfiguring and then
reconfiguring the same scale configuration while traffic is running.
Conditions: This issue occurs after configuring four overlays with 500 EFPs per overlay, setting up
the traffic as described in the DDTS start traffic, removing the overlay and EFP config, and copying
the same config back on one of the otv routers.

CSCtz74060
Symptom: The output of the show platform hardware qfp active feature ess state command is
showed in XML format during ISSU subpackage downgrade from XE3.7.0 to earlier releases on
Cisco ASR 1004 router. This issue does not impact functionality.
Conditions: This issue occurs during an ISSU subpackage downgrade.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCua08206
Symptom: VCs that are configured with VPLS on the standby RP appear in down state.
Conditions: This issue occurs during core link flap.
Workaround: Run the clear xcon all command.

CSCua13418
Symptoms: RP-Announce packets are replicated across all the tunnel interfaces and the count of
replication is equal to the number of tunnel interfaces. For example, if there are 3 tunnel interfaces,
then each tunnel should forward 1 RP-Announce packet each minute (with the default timer
configured). However, in this case, each tunnel is forwarding 3 RP-Announce packets across each
tunnel interface. This issue is not specific to the number of interfaces. It can happen with any number
of tunnel interfaces.
Conditions: This symptom is observed when filter-autorp is configured with the ip multicast
boundary command. This issue is seen on the Cisco 3725 router too, where the incoming packets
are being replicated because of the filter-autorp command.
Workaround: Removing filter-autorp resolves the issue. However, you need to remove the pim and
boundary commands first and then reapply the pim and boundary list without the filter-autorp
keyword. Also, doing this might lead to redesigning of the topology to meet specific requirements.
int Tun X no ip pim sparse-dense mode no ip multicast boundary XXXXXX filter-autorp int TuX ip
pim sparse-dense mode ip multicast boundary XXXXXX.

CSCua27842
Symptoms: The Cisco ASR 1000 router crashes in Firewall code due to NULL l4_info pointer.
Conditions: This symptom occurs when the Cisco ASR 1000 router acts as the MPLS L3VPN UHP.
It crashes because FW/NAT requires the l4_info to be set.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCua49474
Symptom: Some TCP segments of particular length may be forwarded with wrong packet payload
if NAT is configured.
Conditions: This issue is caused by NAT-configured packets are TCP segments of particular length.
Workaround: configure ip tcp adjust-mss to a smaller value than the current tcp flow.

CSCua59268
Symptom: When an ESP switchover happens in an intra or inter box setup, sometimes the standby
ESP gets stuck and does not come up properly.
Conditions: The show redundancy application group <grp-number> command shows the RF state
as STANDBY COLD-BULK.
Workaround: This issue can be solved by reloading the standby.

CSCub18741
Symptom: Fragmented SIP packets may be dropped due to FirewallInvalidZone.
Conditions: This issue occurs when NAT and Firewall is configured in VASI interface. In such a case
SIP payload needs to be translated and the length of translated ip address is different from the prenat
address or PAT is configured.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCub19477
Symptom: Default sessions do not establish when you apply VRF as a service to the default policy.
VRF can only be applied to a default session by assigning a VRF on the access-interface. However
with dedicated sessions, one cannot apply a VRF on the access-interface and VRF transfer at the
same time. Thus if we require VRF transfer on dedicated sessions, we need VRF transfer on lite
sessions as well.
Conditions: This issue occurs when access-side interface is in the default VRF, VRF is applied as a
service to the default policy.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

Symptom: Memory allocation failure occurs.
Conditions: This issue occurs while attaching to SIP-40 using a web browser.
Workaround: Reset the line card.

CSCtz96504
Symptom: Some of the backup VCs are down after SSO.
Conditions: It happens only on scale scenario, in this bug submitter created 500 primary and 500
backup VCs
Workaround: These backup VCs can be brought to SB state by issuing the following command
although it is not usually recommended, it is only way to recover: clear xconnect peerid <peerid
of the PW> vcid <vcid>.

CSCua06598
Symptoms: Router may crash with breakpoint exception.
Conditions: The symptom is observed when SNMP polls IPv6 MIB inetCidrRouteEntry and there is
a locally-sourced BGP route installed in IPv6 RIB.
Workaround: Disable SNMP IPv6 polling.

CSCua13322
Symptom: Routes for the converted dedicated P sessions are missing after a RP switchover.
Conditions: Converted dedicated IP sessions are not HA aware. Therefore after a RP switchover,
these sessions will be re-established at the new active RP. Routes are not installed for some of these
sessions. As a result, downstream traffic is dropped.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCua18542
Symptoms: When service change occur as ISG, in some particular conditions, the SCE is not ready
to accept the CoA, In that case the ISG resends an Update Session on the ISG-SCE Bus. The Update
Session is sent but it is not populated with the required attribute for SCE (policy, service-monitor)
Conditions: There are no specific conditions for the occurrence of this symptom.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCua19425
Symptoms: RP crashes at the far end, pointing to Watchdog Process BGP.
Conditions: This symptom is observed when doing an FP reload at the near end. This issue is seen
with EBGP sessions with BFD configured between near end and far end routers.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

Caveats in Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers Release 3.7.1S

Conditions: Even though the router does not have 225 IPsec SA pairs, error will prevent IPSec from
forming. Existing IPSec SAs will not be affected.
Workaround: Reboot to clear out the leaked counter, or install hsec9 which will disable CERM
(Crypto Export Restrictions Manager).

CSCua21201
Symptom: RP2 gets reloaded.
Conditions: This issue occurs when one dynamic crypto map with 8k tunnels running 700Mbps 64B
packets are processed.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCua27852
Symptoms: Traffic loss is seen in pure BGP NSR peering environment.
Conditions: The symptom is seen on a Cisco router that is running Cisco IOS Release 15.2(2)S, and
the BGP peerings to CEs and RR are all NSR enabled.
Workaround: Enable the bgp graceful-restart command for RR peering.

CSCua28346
Symptoms: A router crashes during second rekey.
Conditions: This symptom occurs with IKEv2 with RSA authentication.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCua30053
Symptoms: Authentication fails for clients after some time because the radius_send_pkt fails,
because it complains about the low IOMEM condition.
Conditions: In AAA, minimum IO memory must be 512KB to process the new request. If the
memory is less than this, AAA does not process the new authentication request. This is AAA
application threshold. This application barriers are not valid in dynamic memory case. Such
conditions are removed for NG3K platform.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCua33821
Symptoms: CPU utilization shoots up to 99% after configuring crypto maps.
Conditions: The symptom is observed after applying crypto maps.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCua34638
Symptoms: A crash is seen on RP2, when the show platform software shell command package
command is issued.
Conditions: This symptom is observed when the show platform software shell command package
command is issued. It impacts the RP2 (x86_64_*) image only.

and the OSPFv3 process is restarted.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCua39107
Symptoms: In a FlexVPN Spoke to Spoke setup, Resolution reply goes via the Tunnel interface to
the Hub.
Conditions: This symptom is only observed when NHO is added for the V-Access, overriding an
existing route. This issue is not seen when H route is added.
Workaround: Distribute the summarized address from the Hub, thus avoiding addition of NHO at
the Spokes. The Spokes will then add H route instead of NHO.

CSCua40790
Symptoms: Memory leaks occur when SNMP polling cbgpPeer2Entry MIB.
Conditions: This symptom occurs when BGPv4 neighbors are configured.
Workaround: There is no workaround if this MIB is to be polled.

CSCua41398

Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCua43930
Symptoms: Checksum value parsed from GRE header does not populate, causing the GRE tunnel
checksum test case to fail.
Conditions: The issue is seen on a Cisco ISR G2.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCua45114
Symptom: Default sessions do not establish when you apply VRF as a service to the default policy.
VRF can only be applied to a default session by assigning a VRF on the access-interface. However
with dedicated sessions, one cannot apply a VRF on the access-interface and VRF transfer at the
same time. Thus if we require VRF transfer on dedicated sessions, we need VRF transfer on lite
sessions as well.
Conditions: This issue occurs when access-side interface is in the default VRF and VRF is applied
as a service to the default policy.

Conditions: The symptom is observed on Cisco 2900, Cisco 1900, and Cisco 3945 routers
configured with IPSLA operations. The router which was idle for one day crashes on issuing the
show ip sla summary command.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCua47570
Symptoms: The show ospfv3 event command causes the router to crash.
Conditions: The symptom is observed when "ipv4 address family" is configured and redistribution
into OSPFv3 from other routing protocols is configured.
Workaround: Do not use the show ospfv3 event command.

CSCua50961
Symptom: In the Pseudowire redundancy, secondary Pseudowire fails to come up that is also
configured as the backup on the other side.
Conditions: In the Pseudowire redundancy, cannot bring up the secondary Pseudowire that is also
configured as the backup on the other side. There are no issues in activating pseduwires that are
primary on the other side.
Workaround: Terminate these pseudowires on a different AC and make them as primary. If the
customer want to terminate on the same AC, there is no work around.

CSCua51991
Symptoms: An invalid SPI message is seen throughout the lifetime of IPsec SA.
Conditions: This symptom is observed with SVTI-SVTI with a GRE IPv6 configuration. When
bringing up Cisco ASR 1000 Series router sessions, an invalid SPI is seen. There is also
inconsistency between the number of child SAs in IKEv2 and the number of IPsec SAs on the same
box.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCua55691
Symptoms: A Cisco IOS memory leak is observed.
Conditions: This symptom is seen when unconfiguring/reconfiguring BGP AD VFIs.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

Caveats in Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers Release 3.7.1S

Symptom: PWs does not come up after an SSO.


Conditions: This is only a specific case where the primary pseudowire path is DN when the active
RP coming up, so the backup PW comes to UP state. Later when the primary path is available
pseudowire redundancy switchover happens the primary PW becomes UP. At this stage if the
Software Switchover happens the PWs on the newly active RP is DN. This is a very corner case and
the chance of happening in the real deployment scenarios is very low.
Workaround: Run the clear xconnect all command to bring up the PWs.

CSCua56802
Symptoms: QoS do not work on one of the subinterfaces/EVC.
Conditions: This symptom occurs when HQoS policy is configured on more than one
subinterface/EVC on ES and then add flat SG on them.

CSCua84923
Symptoms: Following a misconfiguration on a two-level hierarchical policy with a user-defied
queue-limit on a child policy, the UUT fails to attach the QoS policy on the interface even when
corrected queueing features are used.
Conditions: This symptom is observed with the following conditions: 1) The issue must have the
user-defined queueu-limit defined. 2) This error recovery defected is confirmed as a side effect with
the c3pl cnh component project due to ppcp/cce infrastructure enhancement.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCua85934
Symptoms: A session provisioning failure is seen in the ISG-SCE interface. The deactivate or
disconnect request has the message authenticator wrongly calculated.
Conditions: This symptom is observed with the ISG-SCE interface.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCua86310
Symptoms: When relay is configured with unnumbered interface, it appears the packet is sent out of
the loopback interface (instead of the serial interface) to the server, which does not receive the
packet.
Conditions: The issue happens only when unnumbered loopback address is used on the relay
interface which connects to server. If an IPv6 address is used directly on the interface, it works fine.
Workaround: Use numbered interface instead of unnumbered interface.

CSCub32500
Symptom: Router crashes in EIGRP due to chunk corruption.
Conditions: This issue is seen on EIGRP flaps.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCub33877
Symptom: During the "issue loadversion", while downgrading from Texel (or later) to Yap
(v151_1_sg_throttle or earlier), the standby RP keeps reloading due to the out of the sync of
configuration.
Conditions: The issue occurs during issu loadversion operation. The newer version of image
supports the ipv6 multicast while the older version of image does not.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCub42920
Symptom: KS rejects rekey ACK from GM with message (from "debug crypto gdoi ks rekey all"):
GDOI:KS REKEY:ERR:(get:0):Hash comparison for rekey ack failed. The keys & policies in the
rekey packet are correctly installed by the GM, but the rekey ACK does not get processed by the KS.
This leads to rekey retransmissions, GM re-registration and potential disruption of communication.
Conditions: Rekey ACK validation in versions 15.2(4)M1 (ISR-G2) and 15.2(4)S/3.7S (ASR1000)
is incompatible with other software releases. A KS that runs 15.2(4)M1 or 15.2(4)S/3.7S will only
be able to perform successful unicast rekeys with a GM that runs one of those two versions.
Likewise, a KS that runs another version will only interoperate with a GM that also runs another
version.
Workaround: Use multicast rekeys.

CSCub46570
Symptoms: The image cannot be built with an undefined symbol.
Conditions: This symptom occurs as the commit error triggers the compiling issue.

connected. This can then prevent Half-Duplex VRFs for operating correctly.
Conditions: This issue occurs when the prefix is applied to an interface is for a host route (/32 for
Ipv4 or /128 for IPv6).
Workaround: Use a shorter prefix.

CSCub67101
Symptoms: The POS interface line protocol is down with encapsulation PPP in an MPLS setup.
Conditions: This symptom occurs when configuring encapsulation PPP on both ends of PE1 and
CE1, and then configuring xconnect in the customer-facing interface of PE1.

Symptom: Occasionally, network boots from ROMMON may run very slowly. Booting from a
"tftp:" device may appear to stall or run very slowly.
Conditions: This issues is observed when attempting to boot from a "tftp:" device.
Workaround: In non-autoboot scenarios, where the console port is connected, issue a reset under
user supervision.
If the system is configured to autoboot, reconfigure the TFTP_TIMEOUT environment variable
from its present very long value to a value longer than the expected boot time considering the
network and server load. If the system finds itself in this slow booting mode while autobooting, the
transfer will time out, and autoboot will reset and attempt to netboot the file again.
A suggested starting value of 300 seconds can be provided from the ROMMON prompt:
TFTP_TIMEOUT=300

excluded snmp-server community community view view name interfaceTable excluded
snmp-server community community view view name

CSCtz89485
Symptoms: NAT traffic passes through the new standby router following HSRP switchover.
Conditions: This symptom is observed with HA NAT (NAT with HSRP) mappings with inside global
addresses that overlap a subnet owned by a router interface.
Workaround: Each of the following actions must be performed:
Force a HSRP switchover so that the initial standby router takes activity.
Remove and re-add HSRP NAT mappings on the newly active router.
Force a HSRP swtichover back to the initially active router.

CSCua13418
Symptoms: RP-Announce packets are replicated across all the tunnel interfaces and the count of
replication is equal to the number of tunnel interfaces.
For example, if there are 3 tunnel interfaces, then each tunnel should forward 1 RP-Announce packet
each minute (with the default timer configured). However, in this case, each tunnel is forwarding 3
RP-Announce packets across each tunnel interface. This issue is not specific to the number of
interfaces. It can happen with any number of tunnel interfaces.
Conditions: This symptom is observed when filter-autorp is configured with the ip multicast
boundary command. This issue is also seen on the Cisco 3725 router, where the incoming packets
are replicated because of the filter-autorp command.
Workaround: Removing filter-autorp command resolves the issue. However, you need to remove
the pim and boundary commands first, and then reapply the pim and boundary list without the
filter-autorp keyword. Also, doing this might lead to redesigning of the topology to meet specific
requirements.
To remove the filter-autorp command, perform the following configuration:
int Tun X
no ip pim sparse-dense mode
no ip multicast boundary XXXXXX filter-autorp
int TuX
ip pim sparse-dense mode
ip multicast boundary XXXXXX

CSCtz82716
Symptoms: ESP crashes on changing the tunnel mode from IPSec v4 to IPSec v6.
Conditions: ESP crashes on changing the tunnel mode from IPSec v4 to IPSec v6 with online traffic
Workaround: Shutdown the tunnel before changing the tunnel mode.

CSCub08714
Symptoms: Poor performance for multicast on ASR 1000 router over DMVPN.
Conditions: This symptom is observed in the following conditions:
Multicast packet has to come on a Tunnel interface (not a physical interface).
NS (negate signaling) flag has to be set on one of the interfaces in the MFIB (S,G) entry.

If both these conditions are met, then the packet is punted to control plane and forwarded in both
the software and the hardware, thus causing duplicates. The NS punts are periodic or throttled, and
not all multicast packets are punted because of NS. Thus the duplication is intermittent or periodic.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCua77720
Symptoms: cpp_svr restart is seen on Optimized Edge Routing (OER) border on tunnel flap
(external interface) or configuration replace.
Conditions: Performance Routing (PfR) external i/f flapping or MC/BR session flapping.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCub01576
Symptoms: Embedded Services Processor (ESP) reloads on the Cisco ASR 1000 router due to ucode
crash.
Conditions: This symptom is observed on the Cisco ASR 1000 router where the Layer 4 Redirect
feature is configured. This problem was first introduced in Cisco Release 15.2(01)S. This issue may
not be seen in some customer environments to about once-a-week in medium-sized high CPS ISG
production networks.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCua87877
Symptoms: A crash occurs in ucode.
Conditions: This symptom is observed with 160 cps SIP calls.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCua66308
Symptoms: Classification-related error messages and tracebacks are seen on the CLI console, and
the configuration is not downloaded to the data path.
Conditions: This symptom is observed in large configurations with multiple deny statements.
Workaround: Observe caution when using deny statements in a configuration.

CSCua10815
Symptoms: FP Memory is leaking and after sometime, the memory will crash.
Conditions: If IPSec + WCCP is configured, then due to large number of debug log messages in the
cpp_cp_F0-0.log file, there is a memory leak in CPP and FP is crashed.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCua77466
Symptoms: NBAR does not work after subpackage ISSU on a single RP1, although the CLI shows
that NBAR is up.
Conditions: This is a timing issue and may or may not appear depending on configuration and
system hardware and so on. This issue seems to happen consistently with the upgrade of 3.5.2S to
3.7S on an ASR 1004 router with RP1.
Workaround: Restart the router after ISSU.

CSCua79516
Symptoms: SYN packets, which are required to establish FTP-data connections, are sporadically
dropped at the Cisco ASR 1000 router.
Conditions: This symptom is observed under the following conditions on ASR 1000 router:
Using the active mode File Transfer Protocol (FTP).
Using Port Address Translation (PAT).

Workaround: Each of the following work arounds must be performed:


Use the passive mode FTP.
Use the static Network Address Translation (NAT) or dynamic NAT configuration.

CSCua66250
Symptoms: After Locator Identifier Separation Protocol (LISP) encapsulation, in certain conditions,
if the packet size is greater than the path MTU size, then the packets could end up getting fragmented
and the inner header may not be copied correctly to all the fragments, causing the packets to be
dropped.
Conditions: The LISP Ingress Tunnel Router (ITR) encapsulating a packet is not setting the Don't
Fragment bit in the outer IP header. Therefore, ICMP Destination Unreachable message with bigger
error code datagram is not returned to the encapsulating ITR.
Workaround: Configuring IP MTU less than the path MTU on the LISP0 interface or the egress
interface on a LISP ITR causes the packets to be fragmented by the LISP ITR and then LISP
encapsulated to the destination.

CSCua27842
Symptoms: The Cisco ASR 1000 router crashes in firewall code due to NULL l4_info pointer.
Day 1 issue.
Conditions: This symptom occurs when the Cisco ASR 1000 router acts as the MPLS L3VPN UHP.
It crashes because FW/NAT requires the l4_info to be set. To trigger this issue, the following
features must be configured:
MPLS L3VPN (PE)
Zone Based FW/NAT
MPLS and MP-BGP load balance configured towards upstream router.

Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCty10285
Symptoms: WCCP redirection does not happen with a Cisco ASR 1000 router running Cisco IOS
XE Release 3.5 RP1.
Conditions: This symptom occurs when GetVPN is used.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCua23997
Symptoms: Continuous ESP crash is seen after dropping packets due to unsupported OCE.
Conditions: This symptom is observed when OCE is unsupported.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCtu33110
Symptoms: While configuring or running virtual fragmentation reassembly on the virtual template
that serves MLPPPoBB calls, the FP crashed in /ip_reass/frag_info.c.
Conditions: Device configured for virtual fragmentation reassembly on the virtual template that
serves MLPPPoBB calls.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCtz26658
Symptoms: The Cisco ASR 1000 router acts as GET VPN GM. Small UDP fragments (21 to 25
bytes, IP header included) coming in through the IPsec are dropped.
Conditions: This symptom occurs when the Cisco ASR 1000 router acts as GET VPN GM and
TBAR is enabled for the group.
Workaround: There is no workaround. Disabling TBAR is not recommended as a workaround
because of the operational impact of the change on a live GET VPN network.

CSCtz38558
Symptoms: The traceback may be seen on an ASR 1000 router when processing some IPv6
malformed packets.
Conditions: IPv6 packet is malformed.
Workaround: There is no workaround.
Additional Information: Packet will be dropped.

CSCtz82711
Symptoms: Datapath session would not open for PDP create.
Conditions: This symptom is observed when SGSN sends echo request before PDP_CREATE_REQ.
Workaround: There is no workaround.

CSCtz67785
Symptoms: The Cisco ASR 1000 router may experience a Control Plane Policing (CPP) crash.
Conditions: This symptom occurs when the router is configured for Session Border Controller
(SBC). During periods of high traffic, FP reports a lot of media up events to RP, which can crash FP.
Workaround: If ip nbar protocol-discovery command is enabled, it may exacerbate the crashes.
Removing it may provide some stability.

CSCtz92658
Symptoms: Continuous QMOVESTUCK error messages on console for multilink frame relay
(MFR) interface.
Conditions: Either on controller shut/noshut or router reload with MFR configurations.
Workaround: There is no workaround.
