Release Notes for Cisco RF Gateway 10 in Cisco IOS Release 12.2SQ

OL-18677-10

Caveats

CSCud39606

Symptoms: DEPI sessions are moved to idle state
after upgrading to 12.2(50)SQ5 and the QAM
interfaces are in down state.

Conditions: This issue occurs:

•

During image upgrade to 12.2(50)SQ5

•

Probability of hitting this issue is 0.2

•

QAM interfaces were up before image
upgrade

Workaround: Manually unshut all the affected
QAM ports to bring the sessions back to Active
state.

CSCud38024

Symptoms: DEPI sessions in other QAM
interfaces also get deleted when default interface
range qam command is issued on a particular
QAM interface.

Conditions: This issue occurs when the default
interface range qam command is issued on a
particular QAM interface.

Workaround: Do not use the

interface range qam

command for QAM channels.
