Open and Resolved Caveats in Software Release 4.5(9)

Open Caveats in Software Release4.5(9)

Note For a description of caveats resolved in software release4.5(9), see the “Resolved Caveats in

Software Release4.5(9)” section on page26.

This section describes open caveats in software release4.5(9).

• 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(9)

Note For a description of open caveats in software release4.5(9), see the “Open Caveats in Software

Release4.5(9)” section on page26.

This section describes caveats resolved in software release 4.5(9):

• The following messages might be displayed when CGMP is enabled, some entries are populated,

and a topology change occurs:

%EARL-3-LTL:Failure to set LTL for module 5

%SPANTREE-5-PORTDEL_SUCCESS:5/4 deleted from vlan 2 (LinKUpdPrcs)

%EARL-3-LTL:Failure to set

These message do not affect the operation of the switch.

This problem is resolved in software release 4.5(9). (CSCdp13686)

• In some instances when IGMP snooping is used, a device might not be added to a multicast group

on its first attempt to join. A related problem occurs when a switch has only multicast sources for a

given group of MAC addresses directly attached. Because of problems with entries periodically

timing out, packet loss may occur when this entry is removed and reinstalled. This problem is

resolved in software release 4.5(9). (CSCdr54030)

• VMPS client malfunctions occur with SUN and SGI workstations. The problem occurs when

reconfirm VMPS requests are retransmitted and, as a result, multiple replies are received from the

VMPS server. This problem is resolved in software release 4.5(9). (CSCdr82526)
