Fixed Issues

The issues that are addressed in SD-WAN 11.5 release.

Miscellaneous

The management interface status of some SD-WAN appliances was displayed as Down on the Ethernet Interface Settings page of the UI. This issue occurred when some appliances that had in-band management supported, the option to use out of band was available. Therefore, the appliances used out of band management interface to access SD-WAN Orchestrator service.

Known Issues

The issues that exist in SD-WAN 11.5 release are as follows:
In case of scaled deployment on configuration change on any site or WAN link, the routing engine restart causes BGP sessions to flap.
An SD-WAN appliance crashed unexpectedly. This issue occurred when:
  • IPv6 multicast traffic was flowing during a software upgrade.
  • IPv6 Multicast traffic was sourced using an Intranet GRE Tunnel and was replicated to multiple branches over the virtual path using MLDv2 proxy configuration.
Workaround: Disable IPv6 Multicast traffic during the software upgrade and enable once the upgrade is successful.
