Release Notes for Catalyst5000 Family Software Release4.x

OL-2306-01

Open and Resolved Caveats in Software Release 4.5(11)

• On the Gigabit EtherChannel module (WS-X5410), if a host allowed on one secured port is moved

to another previously unused secured port on the same module, the host cannot connect to the

network on the second port.

Workaround: Disable port security on the first port, move the host to the second port, and then

reenable port security on the first port (if desired). (CSCdk31747)

• After a switchover from the active to the standby supervisor engine, the SPAN destination port

might not function correctly. (CSCdk55360)

Resolved Caveats in Software Release4.5(11)

Note For a description of caveats open in software release4.5(11), see the “Open Caveats in Software

Release4.5(11)” section on page22.

This section describes resolved caveats in software release4.5(11).

• Ports on WS-X5225r may stop sending and receiving frames.

Workaround: Disable and re-enable the port. This problem is resolved in software release 4.5(11).

(CSCdt23334)

• Ports on WS-X5225r that have Intel Pro 10/100 Management Adapters may stop sending frames but

will receive frames from the port.

Workaround: Disable and re-enable the port. This problem is resolved in software release 4.5(11).

(CSCds02646)

• The Catalyst 5000 switch might reload if the configuration is restored from the configuration file

and if EtherChannel and RMON are enabled and the following commands are entered in sequence:

a. clear config all

b. reset

c. copy flash config

This problem is resolved in software release 4.5(11). (CSCds79278)

• The set cam command does not have a VCD option available to create a CAM entry for an ATM

index. This problem is resolved in software release 4.5(11). (CSCds55054)

• CAM entries created by MPOA are not removed when the ATM module is removed, reset, reloaded,

or when the ATM module hangs.

Workaround: Reload the Catalyst 5000 switch. This problem is resolved in software release

4.5(11). (CSCds79580)

• In some cases, if you enable PortFast on a port on the Gigabit Ethernet uplink module (WS-U5534)

and the attached end station is rebooted, the port stops transmitting traffic. The port continues to

receive traffic.

Workaround: Disable and then reenable the port (using the set port disable and set port enable

commands) after the end station has rebooted, or disable PortFast on the port (using the set spantree

portfast disable command). This problem is resolved in software release 4.5(11). (CSCds79580)
