Workaround: There is no workaround.
Symptom: The port in error-disabled state & physical status shows as down but is UP on the other connected end device.
Conditions: This issue occurs when the port is configured with DHCP rate limiting values so that the port goes to error-disable state once it reaches the rate configured.
Workaround: Perform a shutdown followed by a no shutdown on the respective interface to move the port to UP state.

Conditions: This issue occurs when TEFP with multiple vlans are configured.
Workaround: Configure EFPS instead of TEFP.
Symptom: Wrong speed and bandwidth is displayed with DWDM XFP
Conditions: This issue occurs when the DWDM XFP is inserted and the show interface command is executed.

Symptom: Bert does not go in sync with hard loop; The reports display that the BERT is running forever. The BERT cannot be stopped and a new BERT cannot be started.
Conditions: This issue occurs when hard loop is configured on OC-3 controller. The BERT is not in sync & BERT is running forever & new BERT cannot be started.
Workaround: There is no workaround.
Symptom: The set ip next-hop peer-address command configured within a route-map does not appear in the running-configuration, causing a loss in configuration across a reload.
Conditions: This issue occurs in Unified MPLS for Mobile transport model with IGP-LDP Access, IGP routes (mainly CSG loopbacks) from Access ring would be redistributed into BGP in the pre-aggregation device (Cisco ASR 903 router). When this happens, IGP next hops that are directly connected to the pre-aggregation devices are treated as BGP next hops in the local BGP database of the pre-aggregation device. Hence when the corresponding link goes down, there might be unnecessary BGP next hop scan for AF IPv4 taking place.
Workaround: Reconfigure the set ip next-hop peer-address command within the route-map after reboot of the device to get the intended functionality.
Symptom: ONS-SC-155-EL optic does not get recognized by the router when inserted in the OC-3 IM.

Conditions: This issue occurs when the ode gets crashed when core MDT routes reach around 1K with the video template.
Workaround: There is no workaround.
Symptom: Ping fails when ARP type goes to UNKNOWN state.
Conditions: This issue occurs when the Cisco ASR 903 router resides between the DHCP sever and a Cisco ASR 901 router, which acts as a helper.
Workaround: Perform a shutdown followed by a no shutdown on the interface. Execute clear arp-cache to clear the cache.
