The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product. Learn more about how Cisco is using Inclusive Language.
Known limitations and caveats are given below:
Null Field Exception does not support IPv6.
The VMs' internal vNIC interface state (up or down) is not detected by VDP. (Use VM creation or deletion as a potential workaround.)
Servers with Converged Network Adapters (CNA) are not supported with OpenStack. The user needs to use a NIC.
OpenStack DHCP is supported, while Cisco DCNM DHCP is not supported.
Following is the technical support model for using OpenStack:
OpenStack is an on open source software platform, and is generally supported through its community using a best effort approach. If you use a third-party OpenStack installer and their support model, all generic OpenStack related support should come from the third-party support license.
Support for the OpenStack Cisco Nexus Fabric Enabler part is provided from the Cisco Nexus Solution Team.
