Open Caveats
| CDETs | Description | Symptoms | Impact | Workaround |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CSCvz68114 | Group level configuration takes precedence over device-level configuration. To set device-level config, each parameter at the group level needs to be set to "per device." If not set, and if user tries to modify at device level, it will not take effect. |
Some section-level parameters such as NTP, NAT, or toggling VPN enable/disable or WiFi enable/disable may appear to not take effect. Currently no error is thrown that group-level setting is taking precedence. |
Platforms: all Currently no error is thrown that group-level setting is taking precedence. In upcoming Dec2021 release, we will enhance to ensure any group-level only setting is not even editable at device level. The enable/disable toggles for features will be removed. |
Current functionality has no impact. For those validating negative workflows, this will be enhanced in upcoming release. |
| CSCvz65925 | IR829 shows access point (AP) Registration failure after configuration push or onboarding. | AP shows Registration failure in Events during onboarding or on active config push. For example, the NVRAM in the AP may be full. |
Platform: IR829 AP For example, the NVRAM in the AP may be full. Once we del:nvram:.cer and onboard again would work |
A future release will address such cases. |
| CSCvz46467 | In some rare cases, when we move between different configuration templates, we may notice the bootstrapping error "Invalid configuration commands 'crypto keyring local flexkey'". | Bootstrapping error "Invalid configuration commands 'crypto keyring local flexkey'". | Platform: all | In this rare occurrence, device may be stuck in Bootstrapping, recovery would be to manually delete the NVRAM and manually delete show run | i crypto commands via CLI. Then re-onboard. Investigation and plan to enhance cleanup in progress for upcoming releases. |
| CSCvz51323 | Dashboard Map resets zoom level every 1 minute. | N/A | Platform: N/A | This fix planned for October end production release. |
| CSCvz45732 | Constant firmware download retry attempts. | Firmware download for IR1101 will not work for a while. After an hour or so, download works again. |
Temporary IR1101 firmware download failures. | If a temporary IR1101 firmware download disruption occurs (for example, when there are some infrastructure maintenance updates), try again in an hour. This issue will be resolved in a future release. Contact Cisco support for assistance, if necessary. |
| CSCvz93486 | Latitude and longitude details are missing after editing a single-device configuration and saving but return after next periodic metric auto-refresh. | When creating a device and adding initial information such as longitude and latitude, click away, now longitude/latitude information is missing. | Temporarily: Saved device-level configuration information is missing. | After saving device-configuration, at next periodic metric auto-refresh, longitude and latitude information returns. A fix is planned for the next release. |

Note: Factory resetting an network device restores the network device to it's original firmware version. See Updating firmware to upgrade the network device to the latest version.
Important: If using eCVD template 1.7 or 1.8 for IR829 AP, update the following parameters in Configuration Group > Edit Config > AP Configuration:
wgbSsid to wgbSSID
wgbPsk to wgbPSK
Impact: If we register devices with wgbSsid/wgbPsk as the parameters in the AP configuration, instead of the revised wgbSSID/wgbPSK, AP may encounter registration failure during initial onboarding as it is currently case sensitive.
For an already onboarded device, there is no functional impact. Modifying the configuration will have no impact on existing device functionality.
Application Management release information
Known Limitations/Issues
- An application can be installed on IR1101 device only it has a network interface defined in the package configuration (package.yaml).
- Sorting of some fields in App Management device/instance tables does not work (CSCvy98685).
- On IR829 Releases, IOx may at times fail bring-up due to one of the device IOx components (Secure storage) in IR829. One timing related scenario CSCvw60852 fixed in 159-3.M4. Pending scenario CSCvz30108. Is a known limitation on the device end, not on the IoT-Operations Dashboard.
- Symptoms: Application Management may state — Application management services are not running/found. SEA Application may be offline. This especially happens if IOx configurations are pushed to device after device bring-up. If application fails to come up , please share following with IoT-OD team for investigation:
- Downloaded tech support logs with IoT-OD team for investigation.
- Troubleshooting > show commands:
- show platform hypervisor
- show version
- show platform guest-os
- show iox host list detail
- Workaround: Router reload (with IOx configs present)
Resolved Limitations/Issues
- More than 10 applications can now be uploaded per tenant.

Supported firmware
| Devices | Version |
|---|---|
| IR1101 | 17.04 or later |
| IR809 | 15.8(3)M2a or later |
| IR829 | 15.8(3)M2a or later |
Known Limitations
- Only 10 applications can be uploaded per tenant at a given time (each of these 10 apps can have multiple versions). Remove the unwanted/unused apps to make space for new apps. This limit will be enhanced in a future release.
- An application can be installed on IR1101 device only it has a network interface defined in the package configuration (package.yaml).
Troubleshooting Tips
- In the application details view many details will be marked as “Unavailable” if the application developer has not provided that information, or if the app was installed using a different system such as Cisco GMM.
- If a device that was successfully onboarded to EDM is still not shown as "Discovered" in the installation workflow, check the following:
- The group to which the device is assigned should use the right configuration templates which enables IOx and setup the necessary networking.
- The device should be up and running and the event log for the device in EDM should indicate that IOx module is added to the device during bootstrapping.
- IOx should be up and running on the device (Use appropriate device specific IOS commands to check this. E.g.: "show iox host list detail" for IR8x9 devices).
- Try the "Device Refresh" action from the installation workflow and check the results after few seconds.
- If application installation fails, check the error message in the instance page. If the reason for failure is a configuration or resource availability issue, try the following:
- Install the application again using the correct configuration values for the application.
- Uninstall the application, then reinstall it using the correct configuration values.
