Open Caveats in Software Release4.5(6)

Note For a description of caveats resolved in software release4.5(6), see the “Resolved Caveats in

Software Release4.5(6)” section on page31.

This section describes open caveats in software release4.5(6).

• If you save a configuration file from a switch where Token Ring is not configured and then apply

the saved configuration file to that same switch, it is safe to ignore messages about TRBRF and

TrCRF VLANs. These messages are caused by the default Token Ring VLAN configuration, which

is always present regardless of the specific configuration of the switch. (CSCdm92714)

• 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)

• After closing a Telnet session, the switch still shows the session as open. Using the disconnect

ip_address command to disconnect a user and manually close the session does not close the session.

This problem is fixed in software release 4.5(7). (CSCdp33649)

• Frame Priority is set incorrectly from Ethernet to FDDI. A new command, set option fddi-user-pri,

has been added to enable the priority field in the FDDI packets. The command requires FDDI

software release 3.2(1a) and supervisor engine software release 5.5(2) or later. This problem is

resolved in software release 5.5(2). (CSCdr42228)

• The Catalyst 5000 family switch is unable to resolve DNS names if the DNS server has more than

7 entries. (CSCdr808353)
