Known Limitations
Smart Licensing Using Policy
Starting with Cisco IOS XE 17.6.1, with the introduction of Smart Licensing Using Policy, even if you configure a hostname for a product instance or device, only the Unique Device Identifier (UDI) is displayed. This change in the display can be observed in all licensing utilities and user interfaces where the hostname was displayed in earlier releases. It does not affect any licensing functionality. There is no workaround for this limitation.The licensing utilities and user interfaces that are affected by this limitation include only the following: Cisco Smart Software Manager (CSSM), Cisco Smart License Utility (CSLU), and Smart Software Manager On-Prem (SSM On-Prem).
Expansion Module on the IR1101
The expansion module IR1101 does not support +1500 MT size on LAN interfaces. See this Caveat for details.
Standalone MAC Authentication Bypass (MAB) Limitation
Standalone MAC Authentication Bypass (MAB) is an authentication method that grants network access to specific MAC addresses regardless of 802.1X capability or credentials. The IR1100 crashes with concurrent IPSec traffic and macsec traffic (device to client).
