Open and Resolved Caveats in Software Release 4.5(9)

• To avoid high CPU utilization from a show logging buffer command, do not display more than 20

messages when the screen length is set to 0 or greater than 24 with the set length command. This

problem is resolved in software release 4.5(10). (CSCds05287)

• An MPOA client configured on WS-X516* modules in the Catalyst WS-C5509 switch with

supervisor engine WS-X5550 might not forward the packets on MPOA shortcuts (or might drop the

packets) under the following conditions:

–

When the NMP creates system CAM entries for the MPOA protocol

–

When the MPOA configuration is done and packets are forwarded through LANE data direct

VCCs

Workaround: Reboot the switch after the MPOA configuration is done. This problem is resolved

in software release 4.5(10). Additionally, the WS-X516* module software must be later than

120-10.W5.18a or 12.1(3a)E releases. (CSCdr81332)

• An incorrect value might be returned when SNMP uses vlanTrunkPortVlansEnabled to display

VLANs enabled on the trunking ports. This problem is resolved in software release 4.5(10).

(CSCds44309)

• If there is too much traffic (over 10 Mbps) getting to the supervisor engine, you might lose the

connection to manage ATM module-related MIB objects through SNMP.

Workaround: Reset the ATM module. This problem is resolved in software release 4.5(10).

Additionally, the ATM module software must be 12.0(10)W5(18a) or later. (CSCds11673)

(CSCdk36902)

• The switch resets with a TLB exception when using the show flash tftp: chips command. This

problem is resolved in software release 4.5(10). The system now returns a response indicating that

the chips option is not valid with the tftp: option. (CSCds64917)

• When “.” is used as a filename for copy or show file commands, the system might reset. This

problem is resolved in software release 4.5(10). (CSCds54945)

• After upgrading the 7204 VXR MLS router to 12.1(2) and Catalyst 5500 switch to 4.5(7), the

following messages appear randomly in the switch logs:

2000 Aug 16 18:08:27 nzst +13:00 %MLS-5-ROUTERDEL:Route Processor 10.177.134.1 deleted

- rxed a random sequence number SDM

2000 Aug 16 18:09:39 nzst +13:00 %MLS-5-ROUTERADD:Route Processor 10.177.134.1 added

When a show mls entry is entered on the switch and the screen output is paused with -More- at the

bottom for more than one minute, these messages appear:

2000 Jul 05 16:13:57 nzst +13:00 %MLS-5-ROUTERDEL:Route Processor 10.177.134.1 deleted

- dead router timer expired

2000 Jul 05 16:13:57 nzst +13:00 %MLS-5-ROUTERADD:Route Processor 10.177.134.1 added

This problem is resolved in software release 4.5(10). (CSCds07183)
