Upgrade from Release 16.2 and Earlier Software Releases

Because of software changes in Release 16.3, you must modify the router configuration as follows before you upgrade from Release 16.2 or earlier to Release 18.3:

• You can no longer configure RED drops on low-latency queuing (LLQ; queue 0). That is, if you include the policy qos-scheduler scheduling llq command in the configuration, you cannot configure drops red-drop in the same QoS scheduler. If your vEdge router has this configuration, remove it before upgrading to Release 17.2. If you do not remove the RED drop configuration, the configuration process (confd) will fail after you perform the software upgrade, and the Viptela devices will roll back to their previous configuration.
• For vEdge 2000 routers, you can no longer configure interfaces that are not present in the router. That is, the interface names in the configuration must match the type of PIM installed in the router. For example, if the PIM module in slot 1 is a 10-Gigabit Ethernet PIM, the configuration must refer to the proper interface name, for example,10ge1/0, and not ge1/0. If the interface name does not match the PIM type, the software upgrade will fail. Before you upgrade from Release 16.2 or earlier to Release 17.2, ensure that the interface names in the router configurations are correct.

Hardware Caveats

The following are known behaviors of the hardware:

• On vEdge 1000 routers, support for USB controllers is disabled by default. To attach an LTE USB dongle to a vEdge 1000 router, first attach the dongle, and then enable support for USB controllers on the vEdge router, by adding the system usb-controller command to the configuration. When you enter this command in the configuration, the router immediately reboots. Then, when the router comes back up, continue with the router configuration. Also for vEdge 1000 routers, if you plug in an LTE USB dongle after you have enabled the USB controller, or if you hot swap an LTE USB dongle after you have enabled the USB controller, you must reboot the router in order for the USB dongle to be recognized. For information about enabling the USB controller, see USB Dongle for Cellular Connection.

• For vEdge 2000 routers, if you change the PIM type from a 1-Gigabit Ethernet to a 10-Gigabit Ethernet PIM, or vice versa, possibly as part of an RMA process, follow these steps:
  1. Delete the configuration for the old PIM (the PIM you are returning as part of the RMA process).
  2. Remove the old PIM, and return it as part of the RMA process.
  3. Insert the new PIM (the PIM you received as part of the RMA process).
  4. Reboot the vEdge 2000 router.
  5. Configure the interfaces for the new PIM.

• On a vEdge 5000 router, you cannot enable TCP optimization by configuring the tcp-optimization-enabled command.

Software Caveats

The following are known behaviors of the software:

Cellular Interfaces

• On a vEdge 100m-NA and 100m-GB routers, when you configure profile 1 for a wireless WAN, you might see the error "Aborted: 'vpn 0 interface cellular0 profile': Invalid profile 1 : APN missing". [VIP-31721]
• When configuring cellular attach-profile and data-profile on Cisco IOS XE routers running the XE SD-WAN software, you must use the default profile ID.

• The vEdge 100wm router United States certification allows operation only on non-DFS channels.

• When you are configuring primary and last-resort cellular interfaces with high control hello interval and tolerance values, note the following caveats:
  • When you configure two interfaces, one as the primary interface and the other as the last-resort interface, and when you configure a high control hello interval or tolerance values on the last-resort interface (using the hello-interval and hello-tolerance commands, respectively, the OMP state indicates init-in-gr even though it shows that the control connections and BFD are both Up. This issue was resolved in Release 16.2.3. However, the following caveats exist:
    — You can configure only one interface with a high hello interval and tolerance value. This interface can be either the primary or the last-resort interface.
    — In certain cases, such as when you reboot the router or when you issue shutdown and no shutdown commands on the interfaces, the control connections might take longer than expected to establish. In this case, it is recommended that you issue the request port-hop command for the desired color. You can also choose to wait for the vEdge router to initiate an implicit port-hop operation. The request port-hop command or the implicit port hop initiates the control connection on a new port. When the new connection is established, the stale entry is flushed from the vSmart controllers.
  • If the primary interface is Up, as indicated by the presence of a control connection and a BFD session, and if you configure a last-resort interface with higher values of hello interval and tolerance than the primary interface, if you issue a shutdown command, followed by a no shutdown command on the last-resort interface, the last-resort interface comes up and continuously tries to establish control connections. Several minutes can elapse before the operational status of the last-resort interfaces changes to Down. If this situation occurs, it is recommended that you issue a request port-hop command for the desired color.
  • If you have configured a primary interface and a last-resort interface that has higher hello interval and tolerance values than the primary interface, and if the last-resort interface has control connections to two vSmart controllers, if you issue a shutdown command, followed by a no shutdown command on the last-resort interface, a control connection comes up within a reasonable amount of time with only one of the vSmart controllers. The control connection with the second vSmart controller might not come up until the timer value configured in the hello tolerance has passed. If this situation occurs, it is recommended that you issue a request port-hop command for the desired color.

• When you activate the configuration on a router with cellular interfaces, the primary interfaces (that is, those interfaces not configured as circuits of last resort) and the circuit of last resort come up. In this process, all the interfaces begin the process of establishing control and BFD connections. When one or more of the primary interfaces establishes a TLOC connection, the circuit of last resort shuts itself down because it is not needed. During this shutdown process, the circuit of last resort triggers a BFD TLOC Down alarm and a Control TLOC Down alarm on the vEdge router. These two alarms are cleared only when all the primary interfaces lose their BFD connections to remote nodes and the circuit of last resort activates itself. This generation and clearing of alarms is expected behavior.

• For cellular interface profile, the profile number can be 0 through 15. Profile number 16 is reserved, and you cannot modify it.

Configuration and Command-Line Interface

• When you upgrade to Release 17.2 from any prior Viptela software release, the CLI history on the Viptela device is lost. The CLI history is the list of commands previously entered at the CLI prompt. You typically access the history using the up and down arrows on the kayboard or by typing Ctrl-P and Ctrl-N. When you upgrade from Release 17.2 to a later software release, the CLI history is maintained.

• When you issue the request reset configuration command on a vEdge Cloud router, a vManage NMS, or a vSmart controller, the software pointer to the device's certificate might be cleared even though the certificate itself is not deleted. When the device reboots and comes back up, installation of a new certificate fails, because the certificate is already present. To recover from this situation, issue the request software reset command.
• VRRP on vedge-cloud is not supported on ESXi x86 devices due to ESXi limitations. On vmxnet3, an error message will be thrown while attempting to configure VRRP. On E1000, error message will not be thrown, but VRRP will not function as configured.

Control and BFD Connections

• When a vBond orchestrator, vManage NMS, or vSmart controller goes down for any reason and the vEdge routers remain up, when the controller device comes back up, the connection between it and the vEdge router might shut down and restart, and in some cases the BFD sessions on the vEdge router might shut down and restart. This behavior occurs because of port hopping: When one device loses its control connection to another device, it port hops to another port in an attempt to reestablish the connection. For more information, see the Firewall Ports for Viptela Deployments article. Two examples illustrate when this might occur:
  • When a vBond orchestrator goes down for any reason, the vManage NMS might take down all connections to the vEdge routers. The sequence of events that occurs is as follows: When the vBond orchestrator crashes, the vManage NMS might lose or close all its control connections. The vManage NMS then port hops, to try to establish connections to the vSmart controllers on a different port. This port hopping on the vManage NMS shuts down and then restarts all its control connections, including those to the vEdge routers.
  • All control sessions on all vSmart controllers go down, and BFD sessions on the vEdge routers remain up. When any one of the vSmart controllers comes back up, the BFD sessions on the routers go down and then come back up because the vEdge routers have already port hopped to a different port in an attempt to reconnect to the vSmart controllers.

• When a vEdge router running Release 16.2 or later is behind a symmetric NAT device, it can establish BFD sessions with remote vEdge routers only if the remote routers are running Release 16.2 or later. These routers cannot establish BFD sessions with a remote vEdge router that is running a software release earlier than Release 16.2.0.

• When you add or remove an IPv4 address on a tunnel interface (TLOC) that already has an IPv6 address, or when you add or remove an IPv6 address on a TLOC that already has an IPv4 address, the control and data plane connections for that interface go down and then come back up.
• Release 16.3 introduces a feature that allows you to configure the preferred tunnel interface to use to exchange traffic with the vManage NMS. In the vManage NMS, you configure this on cellular, Ethernet, and PPP Interface feature templates, in the vManage Connection Preference field under Tunnel Interface. In the CLI, you configure this with the vmanage-connection-preference command. The preference value can be from 0 through 8, with a lower number being more preferred. The default value is 5. If you set the preference value to 0, that tunnel interface is never used to exchange traffic with the vManage NMS, and it is never able to send or receive any overlay network control traffic.
  With this configuration option, there is one situation in which you can accidentally configure a device such that it loses all its control connections to all Viptela controller devices (the vManage NMSs and the vSmart controllers). If you create feature templates and then consolidate them into a device template for the first time, the NMS software checks whether each device has at least one tunnel interface. If not, a software error is displayed. However, when a device template is already attached to a device, if you modify one of its feature templates such that the connection preference on all tunnel interfaces is 0, when you update the device with the changes, no software check is performed, because only the configuration changes are pushed to the device, not the entire device template. As a result, these devices lose all their control connections. To avoid this issue, ensure that the vManage connection preference on at least one tunnel interface is set either to the default or to a non-0 preference value.

Interfaces

• On virtual interfaces, such as IRB, loopback, and system interfaces, the duplex and speed attributes do not apply, and you cannot configure these properties on the interfaces.

• When a vEdge router has two or more NAT interfaces, and hence two or more DIA connections to the internet, by default, data traffic is forwarding on the NAT interfaces using ECMP. To direct data traffic to a specific DIA interface, configure a centralized data policy on the vSmart controller that sets two actions—nat and local-tloc color. In the local-tloc color action, specify the color of the TLOC that connects to the desired DIA connection.

• When configuring interfaces for an IOS XE router using one of the VPN Interface feature configuration templates, you must spell out the interface names completely. For example, you must type GigabitEthernet0/0/0. Also, you must define all the interfaces in the router even if you are not using them so that they are configured in the shutdown state and so that all default values for them are configured.

• For IOS XE routers that have a DSLAM module plugged in, you must include the VPN Interface DSL PPPoA or the VPN Interface DSL PPPoE feature configuration template in the device configuration template to successfully configure the routers from vManage NMS.

IPsec

• For IKE-enabled IPsec tunnels that use IKE Version 2, the SD-WAN software does not support Traffic Flow Confidentiality (TFC) padding for ESP Version 3, as defined in RFC 4303, IP Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP).

IPv6

• You can configure IPv6 only on physical interfaces (ge and eth interfaces), loopback interfaces (loopback0, loopback1, and so on), and on subinterfaces (such as ge0/1.1).
• For IPv6 WAN interfaces in VPN 0, you cannot configure more than two TLOCs on the vEdge router. If you configure more than two, control connections between the router and the Viptela controllers might not come up.
• IPv6 transport is supported over IPsec encapsulation. GRE encapsulation is not supported.
• You cannot configure NAT and TLOC extensions on IPv6 interfaces.

• DHCPv6 returns only an IPv6 address. No default information is accepted. IPv6 router solicitation and router advertisement messages are not processed.

IRB

• On integrated routing and bridging (IRB) interfaces, you cannot configure autonegotiation.

NAT

• When you reboot a vSmart controller, the BFD sessions for all symmetric NAT devices go down and come back up. This is expected behavior.

Policy

• In policy definitions, any application list or application family list that you define with an app-list option cannot have more than 10 items per list.

Routing Protocols

• When a vEdge router transport interface is using an old IPv6 SLAAC address for control connections or BFD sessions, or both, the IP address used for control connections and BFD might become out of sync with the actual IPv6 address. This situation can happen when the IPv6 address that SLAAC advertises from the gateway router changes suddenly and the old IPv6 address has not first been invalidated. As a workaround, if the router has no mechanism to invalidate older prefixes when the IPv6 prefix changes, first remove the router-advertisement configuration on the default gateway router and then change the IPv6 address. To resolve this problem when it occurs on a vEdge router, shut down the interface and then restart it; that is, issue a shutdown command, followed by a no shutdown command.

• When you configure OSPF using a vManage NMS device configuration template, the configuration of an NSSA area or a stub area and the configuration of an area range are not pushed to the router when you attach the device configuration template to the router. As a workaround, configure these parameters in CLI mode on the router, from the vManage Tools ► SSH Terminal screen, using the OSPF area and range configuration commands.

Security

• It is recommended that you use IKE Version 2 only with Palo Alto Networks and Ubuntu strongSwan systems. Viptela has not tested IKE Version 2 with other systems.

  SNMP

  • When you configure an SNMP trap target address, you must use an IPv4 address.
  • The Viptela interface MIB supports both 32-bit and 64-bit counters, and by default sends 64-bit counters. If you are using an SNMP monitoring tool that does not recognize 64-bit counters, configure it to read 32-bit MIB counters.
  • On a vEdge router, if you perform an snmpwalk getnext request for an OID for which there is no information, the response that is returned is the next available instance of that OID. This is the expected behavior.

  T1/E1

  • If you wish to change the card and controller type on the device, you must first remove the previously configured card and controller and reboot the device.
  • You cannot configure rollback or load override features on a multilink interface.
  • PPP multilink QoS is currently not supported in the VPN Interface Multilink template.
  • PPP multilink NAT is currently not supported in the VPN Interface Multilink template.

  • For a vEdge Cloud VM instance on the KVM hypervisor, for Viptela Releases 16.2.2 and later, it is recommended that you use virtio interfaces. For software versions earlier than Release 16.2.2, if you are using the Ubuntu 14.04 or 16.04 LTS operating system, you can use IDE, virtio, or virtio-scsi interfaces.

  vManage NMS

  • On a Viptela device that is being managed by a vManage NMS system, if you edit the device's configuration from the CLI, when you issue the commit command, you are prompted to confirm the commit operation. For example:
    vEdge(config-banner)# commit
    The following warnings were generated:
      'system is-vmanaged': This device is being managed by the vManage. Any configuration changes to this device will be overwritten by the vManage.
    Proceed? [yes,no]
    You must enter either yes or no in response to this prompt.
    During the period of time between when you type commit and when you type either yes or no, the device's configuration database is locked. When the configuration database on a device is locked, the vManage NMS is not able to push a configuration to the device, and from the vManage NMS, you are not able to switch the device to CLI mode.
  • The members of a vManage cluster rely on timestamps to synchronize data and to track device uptime. For this time-dependent data to remain accurate, do not change the clock time on any one of the vManage servers of the cluster after you create the cluster.

  • When you use the vManage Maintenance ► Software Upgrade screen to set the default software version for a network device, that device must be running Release 16.1 or later at the time you set the default software version. If the network device is running Release 15.4 or earlier, use the CLI request software set-default command to set the default software version for that device.

  • When you are using a vManage cluster, when you are bringing up new vManage NMS in the cluster, use an existing vManage NMS to install the certificate on the new vManage NMS.

  • In vManage feature configuration templates, for the passwords listed below, you cannot enter a cleartext password that starts with $4 or $8. You can, however, use such passwords when you are configuring from the CLI.

    • Neighbor password, in the BGP feature configuration template

    • User password, in the Cellular Profile feature configuration template

    • Authentication type password and privacy type password, in the SNMP feature configuration template

    • RADIUS secret key and TACACS+ secret key, in the System feature configuration template

    • IEEE 802.1X secret key, in the VPN Interface Ethernet feature configuration template

    • IPsec IKE authentication preshared key, in the VPN Interface IPsec feature configuration template

    • CHAP and PAP passwords, in the VPN Interface PPP Ethernet feature configuration template

    • Wireless LAN WPA key, in the WiFi SSID feature configuration template

  • PPP CHAP is currently not supported in the VPN Interface Multilink template.
  • PPP multilink fragmentation is currently not supported in the VPN Interface Multilink template.
  • If a serial interface is bundled into a multilink interface, you cannot remove it from the vManage NMS.
  • Once you attach the VPN Interface Multilink template to a device, you cannot detach it from the device.

  Outstanding Issues

  The following are outstanding issues in IOS XE SD-WAN Software Release 16.9 and SD-WAN Software Release 18.3. The CSC number following each issue is the bug number in the Cisco Defect Tracking System. The VIP number following each issue is the bug number in the Viptela bug-tracking database.

  Cellular Interfaces

  • When you configure cellular interfaces on an IOS XE router, the cellular profile may not be written to the modem. [CSCvk08395]

  • On an IOS XE router, you cannot delete the VDSL controller configuration. [CSCvk27232]

  • On an ISR 4331 router, when you remove the last-resort configuration from an interface, the router might crash. [CSCvm26371]

  • If you configure IPv6 on a cellular interface, the control connections might go down and come back up continuously. [VIP-21970]

  Cloud OnRamp for SaaS

  • On a vEdge 100m router running Release 18.3.0, the Cloud OnRamp for SaaS and vtracker processes might crash when a specific configuration with multiple VPNs and interfaces gets pushed. [CSCvk79278/VIP-43925]

  Configuration and Command-Line Interface

  • When the vManage AAA feature template is used to configure TACACS authentication, vManage does not generate the correct configuration for cEdge routers. As a result, TACACS authentication is not working for those routers. [CSCvn38487/VIP-47732]
  • With the ping source ip-address command, if you type it as ping so ip-address, the CLI does not autocomplete so and the command fails. You must type out the keyword source. [CSCvi46383/VIP-36087]

  • If a physical interface is part of a bridge, you cannot adjust the MTU on the interface. As a result, the 802.1x interface's MTU has to be lowered to 1496. If the interface needs to also run OSPF, this MTU size can cause an MTU mismatch with other interfaces that have an MTU of 1500. [CSCvi59620/VIP-26759]

  • When you configure a hostname that includes a period (.), only the portion of the hostname before the period is displayed. As a workaround, use an underscore (_) or a hyphen (-). [CSCvj32215/VIP-38369]

  • On an IOS XE router, the file generated by the request admin-tech command might not include DSL-related information or ATM/dialer-related information. [CSCvj43195, CSCvj54679]

  • On IOS XE routers, when you configure users to be in different AAA user groups, both groups might have the same privilege level. [CSCvj29165/VIP-39683]

  • The show omp routes command output might display the incorrect tag for OMP routes. [CSCvj82776/VIP-39722]

  • On an IOS XE router, when you push a configuration template in which the interface to the vManage NMS is configured as down, it might take 15 minutes to roll back the configuration instead of the usual 5 minutes. [CSCvj88473]

  • On an IOS XE router, when you issue the show platform software trace command from the CLI, the router might reboot unexpectedly. As a workaround, use the request admin-tech command to collect the trace information. [CSCvj90293]

  • On an IOS XE router, EEM-related configurations on Confd are not supported. [CSCvj95656]

  • When you attempt to activate a vEdge cloud router on which the organization name is not configured, the router is not activated and no error message is displayed. [CSCvk10038/VIP-40503]

  • A template push from the vSmart controller might fail with an application communication error. [CSCvk31357/VIP-41576]

  • GPS location coordinates that you configure on an IOS XE router might not take effect. CSCvk65202/VIP-42609]

  • Attaching a configuration template to a vEdge 5000 router might fail with the error message "Null". [CSCvm46954/VIP-44173]

  • On an IOS XE router, you might not be able to configure a static route from the configuration templates. [CSCvm55390/VIP-44437]

  • On an IOS XE router, you might not be able to delete BFD from an interface using Netconf. [CSCvm60350/VIP-44577]

  • When you try to push the default templates that include cflowd policies to an IOS XE router, the template push might fail with the error "Bad CLI  source Loopback0, location 16". [CSCvm61034/VIP-44614]

  • On an IOS XE router, when you attach a NTP feature template that contains a VRF other than VPN 0, the vManage server might push the incorrect VRF name. [CSCvm68056/VIP-44887]

  • For IOS XE routers, the vManage NMS might not generate an NTP source interface configuration. [CSCvm68397/VIP-44901]

  • On an IOS XE router, when you issue the commit and-quit command to exit configuration mode, you might be placed into router exec mode instead of SD-WAN exec mode.[ CSCvm72402/VIP-45042]

  • When two routes exist to the same neighbor, if you specify a single IP address in the show ip routes command, the command might return only one of the routes, but if you specify an IPv4 prefix and prefix length, the command returns both routes. [VIP-32736]

  Forwarding

  • If you disable deep packet inspection (DPI) on a vEdge router, traffic directed towards queue 0 (LLQ) might become bursty or might be dropped. [CSCvi35220/VIP-34211]

  • Traffic might be blackholed because of stale BFD sessions. This happens in a scenario when there are two vEdge routers at a site, both configured with TLOC extension between them, and the circuit that they are connected to goes down. One router clears all its BFD sessions, but the second one does not, so all traffic is sent to the uncleared BFD sessions and is blackholed. [CSCvi45659/VIP-35113]

  • When you configure a cellular interface as a last-resort interface, the cellular interface might remain up at all times. [CSCvi49913/VIP-34495]

  • Routes might be installed in the routing table with the incorrect color. [CSCvi59626/VIP-35088]

  • When you switch data traffic from one tunnel to another (for example, from a biz-ethernet to an lte tunnel), a small amount of traffic might be lost. [CSCvi66931/VIP-27992]

  • The vManage DPI screen might display a DIA graph for a vEdge router on which local internet exit is not configured. [CSCvj50058/VIP-38987]

  • A vEdge router might crash with the error message, "FTMD-3-ERRO-1000011: FP Core 1 Died. Core file recorded at /var/crash/core.fp1.5310". [CSCvj63407/VIP-39318]

  • When you use VLAN tagged interfaces for transport interfaces, the interface throughput might drop. [CSCvj79568/VIP-39647]

  • On an IOS XE router, VPN 0 traffic might not be NATed over interfaces configured as TLOC extensions. [CSCvk34856/VIP-41673]

  • On a vEdge 100 router with an IPv6 underlay, the throughput speed might decrease noticeably. [CSCvk52771/VIP-42167]

  • On cflowd template packets, the DF bit might get set. [CSCvk77142/VIP-43032]

  • On an IOS XE router, ECMP might not work. [CSCvm26391/VIP-43788]

  • A vEdge100m router might crash when a workstation connected to it on the service side requests a DHCP address. [CSCvm42884/VIP-44045]

  • An IOS XE router might not be able to calculate loss, latency, and jitter. [CSCvm60561/VIP-44585]

  • When you upgrade a vEdge 5000 router from Release 18.3.0 to Release 18.3.1, the router performance might decrease. [CSCvm60731/VIP-44603]

  • On an IOS XE router, the default template configuration pushed by the vManage NMS might include the "no exec", which disables console access. [CSCvm63759/VIP-44731]

  • For IEEE 802.1X, you cannot configure a RADIUS server for MAC authentication bypass (MAB). [VIP-18492]

  • In application-aware routing policy, the salesforce_chatter, oracle_rac, and google_photos applications might not be classified properly. [VIP-21866]

  • If you misconfigure the target VPN for NAT, the ICMP unreachable messages might contain the inside IP address. [VIP-43947]

  • When forwarded ports are not open on the inside client, NAT might block RST packets in the return path and might generate ones on behalf of outside client. [VIP-43950]

  Interfaces

  • In vManage NMS, removing a DSL configuration from a router might fail with the errors "Failed to process device request" and "inconsistent value: Device refused one or more commands". [CSCvk29514/VIP-41479]

  • On IOS XE routers, when you issue the show control local-properties command, the output might show that a subinterface's state is up even though its administrative state is down. [CSCvk72903/VIP-42864]

  • The output of the show interface command might not display subinterfaces. [CSCvk77546/VIP-43214]

  • The output of the show interface queue command might not correctly report the number of dropped packets. [CSCvm39500/VIP-43970]

  • When you use Auto IP to assign the tunnel interface IP address. the vEdge router is assigned an address, but statically configuring that same address might not work, which results in the control connection on the tunnel interface going down. As a workaround, remove the configured IP address from the CLI and configure the static IP address again. [CSCvm40434/VIP-43987]

  • You might not be able to configure the Cloud Onramp VPC even when vEdge routers are present. [VIP-34655]

  NMS

  • NMS configuration-db may run into an issue where a partial corruption can occur. This situation can occur when the disk gets full. This is an issue in the software of a third-party that the vendor has already fixed. [VIP-49259]

  Policy

  • On an IOS XE router, when you configure a centralized data policy with no sequences and with the default action (drop), the from-service or from-tunnel apply options might not work. [CSCvh94044]

  • A centralized policy that is pushed from the vSmart controller to the vEdge routers might not be applied on the routers. [CSCvi54347/VIP-27046]

  • For zone-based firewalls, you can configure a VPN to be in only one zone. [CSCvi97773/VIP-37609]

  • In the vManage Centralized Policy UI Builder, the Membership has no options to accept or reject and no way to change the default action. These options are all available in CLI and need to be added to the UI builder for the same capabilities. [CSCvj43085/VIP-38730]

  • You cannot match ICMP in a policy that you associate with the source and destination zones in a zone pair​, because ICMP is not a transport layer protocol and zone pair policies match only TCP protocols. [CSCvk03248]

  • On IOS XE routers, the zone-based firewall zone-pair statistics​ displayed on the vManage NMS might not be the same as the statistics displayed on the router itself, with the show sdwan zbfw zonepair-statistics command. [CSCvk36517/VIP-41739]

  • If you enable NAT and apply a localized data policy on a transport interface, the control connection on that interface might not come up. [CSCvk44405/VIP-41968]

  • When you are configuring a localized data policy (access list) in vManage NMS, you might encounter errors with entering port numbers and number ranges. [CSCvk76181/VIP-42981]

  • Pushing policy from the vManage NMS to the vSmart controller might time out even though the vSmart controllers are up and have control connections to all vManage servers. [CSCvk78100/VIP-43427]

  • If DPI momentarily encounters an out-of-memory or a resource exhaustion situation, when it returns to normal, the output of the show app dpi summary command might show statistics counters as 0 even through flows continue to be recognized and classified by the DPI software. [CSCvm40554/VIP-43993]

  • When you apply a QoS policy to a vEdge router, the router's interface throughput might slow considerably. As a workaround, remove the configuration and reboot the router. [CSCvm49899/VIP-44272]

  • When you activate a centralized policy, the vSmart controller might reboot before starting the policy. [CSCvm59347/VIP-44565]

  • In vManage NMS, when you use the policy configuration wizard to create policies for a mesh topology, you might need to create an additional policy using a CLI template for the mesh policy to work. This situation is known to occur in a network that has two regions, where each region is mesh that is a subset of the entire network, where each region has its own data center, and where the branch vEdge routers in one region communicate with branch routers in the other region through the data centers. We will call these Region 1 and Region 2. Assume that Region 1 has a control policy that advertises its TLOCs to the data center in Region 2, and Region 2 has a control policy that prevents the spokes and data center in Region 2 from advertising TLOCs to the spokes in Region 1. The result is that the data center in Region 2 repeatedly attempts to form control tunnels to the data center in Region 1, but these attempts fail. As a workaround, you must a policy using a CLI template that allows the data center in Region 2 to exchange TLOCs with the data center in Region 1 and then attach that policy to the vEdge routers.

  • In Releases 18.2.0 and later, if an interface description contains a special character, such as an ampersand, the template push might fail with the error message "null". [CSCvm51340/VIP-44295: This issue has been resolved.]

  • On IOS XE routers, when you configure TACACS using feature templates, the vManage NMS might include "ip vrf forwarding 0" in the configuration even though "vrf 0" does not exist on these routers. [CSCvm53683/VIP-44394: This issue has been resolved.]

  • On an IOS XE router, if you use the default source interface in a logging template, the vManage NMS creates the following configuration, which is invalid: logging source-interface "". [CSCvm57114/VIP-44489: This issue has been resolved.]

  • On an IOS XE router, if you define the VPN in the logging template as anything other than the default, the VRF might always configured as Mgmt-intf, which belongs to GigabitEthernet0. This occurs for any VPN other than VPN 0. [CSCvm57126/VIP-44490: This issue has been resolved.]

  • When you create an SVI template for an ISR 1000 router, if the VLAN interface name might be defined with the incorrect syntax, with the result that the vManage NMS generates an invalid interface (for example, GigabitEthernet2). [CSCvm64908/VIP-44778: This issue has been resolved.]

  DHCP

  • For IOS XE routers, you might not be able to configure a DHCP server from a vManage configuration template. [CSCvm53094/VIP-44362: This issue has been resolved.]
