Cisco Cloud Services Platform 2100 Release Notes

This document describes the features, limitations, and bugs for the Cisco Cloud Services Platform 2100, Release 2.1.2.

Information About Cisco Cloud Services Platform 2100

Cisco Cloud Services Platform 2100 (Cisco CSP 2100) is a software and hardware platform for data center network functions virtualization. This open kernel virtual machine (KVM) platform, with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7.2 as the base operating system, is designed to host networking virtual services. Cisco CSP 2100 provides REST APIs, a web interface, and a CLI for creating and managing the virtual machine (VM) lifecycle.

Supported Cisco Networking Services

Cisco CSP 2100 supports the following Cisco networking services:

- Cisco Virtual Supervisor Module (VSM) for Cisco Nexus 1000V Switch deployments (VMware vSphere, KVM, and Microsoft Hyper-V).

- Cisco Virtual Security Gateway (VSG) for Cisco Nexus 1000V Switch deployments.

- Cisco Cloud Services Router (CSR) 1000V Series.

- Cisco Adaptive Security Virtual Appliance (ASAv), supports QCOW image only.

- Cisco Prime Data Center Network Manager (DCNM).

- Cisco Virtual Network Analysis Module (vNAM).

Cisco CSP 2100 also supports services from other third-party vendors including application firewalls, application delivery controllers, and value-added mobility services. Any third-party service that is supported on KVM is supported on Cisco CSP 2100.

Cisco CSP 2100, Release 2.1.2 includes the following features:

- Admin user is not allowed to access a bash shell.

- IP forwarding is disabled.

Important Notes and Restrictions

The following topics provide important notes and restrictions for Cisco CSP 2100.

Changing IP Address of the Management Interface for NFS Configurations

If NFS is configured on the system, note the following:

- Changing the management IP address causes an outage of the VNC console and stats collection for 15 to 30 minutes.

- Reboot of the system can take up to 30 minutes.

As a workaround, you can unconfigure the NFS mount before performing these operations and reconfigure the NFS mount after the operation is complete. You can also reboot the system from the Cisco CSP 2100 CIMC connection.

Configuring Passthrough Interfaces

When a service has passthrough as well as non-passthrough vNICs, we recommend that you first define the non-passthrough vNICs and then define the passthrough vNICs.

Running config terminal Command After Initial Setup

The config terminal command fails when you run it after performing the initial setup for a new installation. This happens because the admin user is not assigned to a group at the initial login. To run this command and configure Cisco CSP 2100 features, you must log out and then log in to the Cisco CSP 2100.

Restrictions

Cisco CSP 2100 has the following restrictions:

- Management interfaces cannot be configured as passthrough interfaces.

- Only local admin users have the functionality to autocopy images in repositories across the Cisco CSP 2100 nodes in a cluster. This functionality is not available for the TACACS+ or RADIUS admin users.

- Only local users can log in to the Cisco CSP 2100 using CIMC console. Remote TACACS+ users cannot log in to the Cisco CSP 2100 using CIMC console.

- Only the vNIC e1000 model is supported with Cisco VSM and Cisco VSG services.
