New Features • The Layer 2 features are as follows: Note The following chapter references are to the Catalyst 6500 Series Cisco IOS Software Configuration Guide.
Features Not Supported • These services are supported in this release: – Standard Domain Naming System (DNS) support (refer to the Cisco IOS Network Protocols Configuration Guide, Part 1, and the Cisco IOS Network Protocols Command Reference publication, Part 1) – Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP); (refer to Cisco IOS IP and IP Routing Configuration Guide, Release 12.
Limitations and Restrictions • System warning and error counter enhancements implemented in Catalyst software release 6.
Limitations and Restrictions • These modules do not support Inter-Switch Link (ISL) VLAN trunking: – WS-X6502-10GE – WS-X6548-GE-TX – WS-X6148-GE-TX • The link state messages (“LINK-3-UPDOWN” and “LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN”) are disabled by default. With Release 12.1(19)E1a and later releases, enter the logging event link status command on each interface where you want the messages enabled. • In Release 12.1(19)E and later releases, you cannot disable IP routing.
Limitations and Restrictions Workaround: Use a Flash PC card in slot0 to run these images and make sure there is at least 1 MB free on the supervisor engine bootflash in case the system needs to save crash information. (CSCdx48936) • Traffic flow and SNMP connectivity is interrupted briefly if you perform an online insertion and removal (OIR) that changes the number of fabric-enabled modules so that the switch must use a different fabric channel switching mode.
Limitations and Restrictions • Integrated routing and bridging (IRB) and concurrent routing and bridging (CRB) have deliberately been disabled on the Catalyst 6500 series switches and Cisco 7600 Series Routers. You should use routable Layer 2 VLANs and VLAN interfaces for normal bridging and interVLAN routing. Bridge groups are supported only to bridge nonrouted protocols. • With Release 12.1(6)E or later, FlexWAN module interfaces support dNBAR. Do not configure NBAR on other interfaces.
Limitations and Restrictions – If you configure more than 16 HSRP groups, this restriction prevents use of the VLAN number as the HSRP group number. • A Supervisor Engine 1 must have ROMMON version 5.2(1) or later. • You must have a boot loader image in an MSFC1 bootflash device to boot successfully. Do not reset the switch when there is no boot loader image in the MSFC1 bootflash device.
Limitations and Restrictions To eliminate the load imposed on the MSFC CPU by the task of dropping denied packets and generating ICMP-unreachable messages, do the following: – With Supervisor Engine 1, enter the no ip unreachables interface configuration command. – With Supervisor Engine 2, enter the no ip unreachables and the no ip redirects interface configuration commands. (CSCdr33918) • MAC address-based Cisco IOS ACLs are not supported for packets that are Layer 3 switched in hardware.
Limitations and Restrictions configuration commands can be applied to EtherChannel interfaces. Other QoS queueing configuration commands can be applied, however, to individual EtherChannel physical interfaces. After the physical interfaces are bundled into an EtherChannel, QoS classification, marking, and policing by the Policy Feature Card (PFC) for the channel packets is determined by the service-policy attached to the EtherChannel interface.
Limitations and Restrictions • The interface range command is not supported by the HTTP user interface. The command will execute on only the first interface in the specified range. Do not use the interface range command with the HTTP interface. (CSCdm54471) • Supervisor Engine 2 and Supervisor Engine 1 typically are able to learn at least 32 K MAC addresses. • When you boot Release 12.
Limitations and Restrictions OSM Limitations and Restrictions • If you use the Class-Based Weighted Fair Queueing (CBWFQ) shape average command and apply the configured policy map to an interface on an OSM, traffic-shaping accuracy cannot be guaranteed if the target bit rate specified is less than 256,000 bits per second. (CSCea06515) • For the OC-12 ATM OSM, the Common Part Convergence Sub-layer User-to-User (CPCS-UU) field in the AAL5 CPCS PDU cannot be set, cleared, or transported correctly.

Under rare circumstances, the platform may reload to recover itself. Conditions: This symptom is observed on a Cisco platform that is configured for SSH version 2 after it has received malformed SSHv2 packets.
Caveats Cisco has made free software available to address these vulnerabilities for affected customers. Fixed Cisco IOS software listed in the Software Versions and Fixes section contains fixes for all vulnerabilities mentioned in this advisory. There are no workarounds available to mitigate the effects of any of the vulnerabilities apart from disabling the protocol or feature itself. This advisory is posted at http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20070808-IOS-voice.
Caveats • A Cisco IOS device may crash while processing malformed Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) packets. In order to trigger these vulnerabilities, a malicious client must send malformed packets during the SSL protocol exchange with the vulnerable device. Successful repeated exploitation of any of these vulnerabilities may lead to a sustained Denial-of-Service (DoS); however, vulnerabilities are not known to compromise either the confidentiality or integrity of the data or the device.
Caveats • With the Cisco IOS Firewall CBAC feature enabled, if a client opens a connection to a server, which causes a firewall session to be created, and the connection is terminated on both the client and the server, the firewall session may never time out. This problem occurs with applications that use fixed source and destination ports. This problem is resolved in Release 12.1(26)E8.
Caveats • Symptoms: A router may crash if it receives a packet with a specific crafted IP option as detailed in Cisco Security Advisory: Crafted IP Option Vulnerability: http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20070124-crafted-ip-option.shtml Conditions: This DDTS resolves a symptom of CSCec71950.

This problem is resolved in Release 12.1(26)E7. (CSCeh54725) • Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS) load balancing may not function correctly. This problem occurs in a topology in which three routers reside on a broadcast media.
Caveats • SSH sessions might fail due to a bad packet length error when you open an SSH session from a Solaris or MacOSX client. The following message might appear: Disconnecting: Bad packet length -625118183. This problem is resolved in Release 12.1(26)E5.
Caveats – While all corresponding Layer 2 ports remain inactive, the Layer 3 VLAN interface is administratively enabled (no shutdown). This problem is resolved in Release 12.1(26)E5. (CSCsc08947) • The SNMP ifAdminStatus state for the ATM layer or the ATM Adaptation Layer 5 (AAL5) of an ATM interface or subinterface might go down. This situation can occur without entering a shutdown command, and prevents SNMP from monitoring the proper status of the ATM interfaces.
Caveats • You might see SCHED-3-THRASHING messages when an SSH client sends text at a high input rate. This problem is resolved in Release 12.1(26)E4. (CSCsa92622) • A reload or spurious memory access occurs when HSRP rapidly changes states or goes up and down. This problem occurs with IOS SLB configured and with virtual servers that are monitoring these HSRP groups and probes that are configured on their server farms. This problem is resolved in Release 12.1(26)E4.
Caveats • In a multicast virtual private network (MVPN) environment with a provider edge (PE) router configuration and with the ip pim register-rate-limit global configuration command enabled, PIM register messages might not be sent for the default multicast distribution tree (MDT) to its rendezvous point (RP). This situation prevents PE routers from establishing PIM adjacencies with other PE routers in the MVPN. This problem is resolved in Release 12.1(26)E4.
Caveats • When EoMPLS is configured on a system that is functioning as the PE router and a FlexWAN module is used to connect to the core router, packets sent by the CE router are dropped. This problem is resolved in Release 12.1(26)E2. (CSCei01835) • The system may reset if it receives a invalid VTP packet. The invalid VTP packet must be received on a port configured for ISL or 802.1q trunking and must correctly match the VTP domain name.
Caveats • With Per-VLAN-Spanning Tree (PVST) configured, if you remove a DFC-equipped switching module, other DFC-equipped switching modules might retain some Layer 2 address entries for the removed module. Traffic loss occurs when the remaining DFC-equipped switching modules send traffic to the removed module. This problem is resolved in Release 12.1(26)E1.
Caveats enabled by default, and must be configured in order to accept traffic from an explicitly defined peer. Unless the malicious traffic appears to be sourced from a configured, trusted peer, it would be difficult to inject a malformed packet.

This problem is resolved in Release 12.1(8b)E7. (CSCdu71710) • Configuring broadcast suppression on a Gigabit Ethernet interface filters all broadcast traffic. This problem is resolved in Release 12.1(8b)E7.
Caveats • With Supervisor Engine 2, when a DVMRP unicast packet (for example, an MRINFO packet) enters the switch to be routed, the packet is replicated multiple times. The number of replications depends on the IP TTL value of the incoming packet. This problem is resolved in Release 12.1(8b)E6. (CSCdv62588) • With Supervisor Engine 1, after entering the no mls ip and mls ip interface commands on an interface with multiple HSRP groups configured, some packets get switched in software on the MSFC.
Caveats • When data-link switching (DLSw) Ethernet redundancy is configured, the switch might reload with a bus error if circuits are established while peer connections are torn down. This problem is resolved in Release 12.1(8b)E6. (CSCdt82241) • After entering shutdown and no shutdown commands on an interface running fast switching, some of the route cache entries for directly connected hosts are not created correctly, which causes network connectivity issues. This problem is resolved in Release 12.
Caveats • Adding or removing an entry from the IGMP cache for special addresses 224.0.1.39 or 224.0.1.40 or 224.0.0.x or an interface joining or leaving a multicast group unnecessarily resets the interface hardware, causing the interface to go down and then back up. This problem is resolved in Release 12.1(8a)E5. (CSCdv43208) • Entering the attach command while connected over a secure shell (SSH) session freezes the switch. This problem is resolved in Release 12.1(8a)E5.
Caveats Resolved Caveats in Release 12.1(8a)E3 None. Resolved Caveats in Release 12.1(8a)E2 • In systems with a Supervisor Engine 1, entering the show mls nde command shows the NetFlow Data Export feature as disabled when it is enabled. This problem occurs if you enter an ip flow-export command after the mls nde src_address command and do not reenter the mls nde src_address command. This problem is resolved in Release 12.
Caveats • The show version command might display “Running default software” instead of the boot filename. This problem is resolved in Release 12.1(8a)E. (CSCdu23762) • With Supervisor Engine 2, ignore any “%BIT-SP-4-OUTOFRANGE: bit 16 is not in the expected range of 0 to -1” error messages. This problem is resolved in Release 12.1(8a)E.

Troubleshooting Module Troubleshooting This section contains troubleshooting guidelines for module problems: • When you hot insert a module into a chassis, be sure to use the ejector levers on the front of the module to seat the backplane pins properly. Inserting a module without using the ejector levers might cause the supervisor engine to display incorrect messages about the module. For module installation instructions, refer to the Catalyst 6500 Series Module Installation Guide.
Troubleshooting To debug STP problems, follow these guidelines: • The sum of all logical interfaces equals the number of trunks on the switch times the number of active VLANs on the trunks, plus the number of nontrunking interfaces on the switch. • The show spanning-tree summary totals command displays the number of logical interfaces in the STP Active column. • These maximum numbers of logical interfaces are supported with Release 12.
System Software Upgrade Instructions • On trunks, make sure that the trunk configuration is set properly on both sides of the link. • On trunks, if the neighboring device supports it, set duplex to full on both sides of the link to prevent any collisions under heavy traffic conditions.
