Important Notes and Known Behaviors

Users should be aware of specific hardware and software behaviors:

• Cisco IOS XE Catalyst SD-WAN devices with SFP-10G-SR modules do not support online insertion and removal (OIR).
• BFD session behavior on Private TLOC has been improved to remain unaffected by changes in Public IP or port from transit NAT devices starting from release 17.14.1.
• Auto-correct options in Cisco SD-WAN Manager have been replaced by a manual audit process under Configuration > Cloud OnRamp for Multicloud.
