Open Caveats in Software Release4.5(10)

Note For a description of caveats resolved in software release4.5(10), see the “Resolved Caveats in

Software Release4.5(10)” section on page24.

This section describes open caveats in software release4.5(10).

• If you have multiple ATM fabric integration modules (WS-X5165) installed and you have more than

50 LECs configured on each module, a multiple-module software download to the modules can take

an excessively long time to complete. For this reason, we recommend that you download software

images one module at a time (by specifying the module number in the download command).

(CSCdk55355)

• 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(10)

Note For a description of open caveats in software release4.5(10), see the “Open Caveats in Software

Release4.5(10)” section on page24.

This section describes caveats resolved in software release 4.5(10):

• A series of unauthenticated Telnet attempts can cause the switch to fail to pass traffic or accept

management connections until the system is rebooted or a power cycle is performed. This problem

is resolved in software release 4.5(10). (CSCds66191)

• Supervisor engine might not respond to SNMP queries. In a Catalyst 5000 family switch with the

WS-X5530 supervisor engine and the WS-X5012 10BASE-T module, SCP communication between

the supervisor engine and the WS-X5012 module might fail. The SNMP is unable to collect statistics

from the switching module and SNMP stops responding to queries. This problem is resolved in

software release 4.5(10). (CSCds16761)

• Non-alphanumeric characters are not valid in VTP domain names but can be configured in certain

cases. This problem is resolved in software release 4.5(10). (CSCds34927)
