Known Limitations

ID	Symptoms
-	Connecting the 4 port 10G (CPAC-4-10F-C) to a Cisco 5K switch series requires disabling of Link Layer Discover Protocol (LLDP) for the relevant port on the switch. For more information, refer to Cisco Bug: CSCvr25786 and sk117676.
-	Standalone deployment is not supported on 16000HS, 26000, 28000 and 28600HS appliances.
-	Connectivity upgrade is not supported.
GAIA-3957, GAIA-3944	When running the Hardware Diagnostic options of the RMA tool, "ipsctl_get_family_id:received error" messages may appear. These error messages can be safely ignored.
GAIA-3490	10GbE i40e NICs determine their link-speed based on the type of connected transceiver (1G ot 10G) and cannot be changed manually.
GAIA-4359	The 1GB x 4ports NIC (CPAC-4-1F-C) is not compatible with the CiscoNexus9k 93180YC-EX switch.
GWAPP-244	There is no alert when only one power supply unit is used in a 26000 and 28000 appliance. These appliances are designed to work with at least 2 power supply units.
GWAPP-301	In some scenarios, there may be a sensor access collision error as both the LOM and x86 access the same BUS.
GWAPP-327	In some instances, when inserting an 8 port 1G card into the appliance slots, the card is not properly inserted into the expansion slot. It can miss the mating connector in the rear of the appliance's I/O slot. Make sure the card is firmly inserted on all sides, clicks into position, and that the NIC panel is flat against the appliance's front panel.
