Open and Resolved Caveats in Software Release 4.5(4)

• After a switchover, ports that are in a Port Security shutdown state on the 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet

Switching Module (WS-X5224) do not recover their links to workstations connected to those ports.

If the cables on the ports are disconnected, the link lights remain green and the link is not dropped,

indicating that the ports are connected and spanning tree is in forwarding state. Resetting the module

is the only means of recovering from this problem. This problem is fixed in software release 4.5(5).

(CSCdp08791)

• The Token Ring module is slow to recover from a supervisor engine switchover. This problem is

fixed in software release 4.5(5). (CSCdp27114)

• When the set snmp trap help command is executed, the keyword syslog is not shown as an option.

This problem is fixed in software release 4.5(5). (CSCdp29969)

• Ports on the standby supervisor engine are not included in the ifIndex-related MIB tables.

Workaround: Reset the standby supervisor engine. This problem is fixed in software release 4.5(5).

(CSCdm30287)

• Trunk is going up and down when the channel is in channel-on mode and the trunk is in

non-negotiate mode. This problem is fixed in software release 4.5(5). (CSCdp32703)

• When upgrading from any Catalyst 5000 4.x software release to software release 5.2(2), the SNMP

trap receiver conversion causes SNMP trap receiver information to be lost and replaced with 10

incorrect SNMP trap receivers of 0.0.0.0.

Workaround: Issue a clear snmp trap all command and reenter the valid SNMP trap receivers.

This problem is fixed in software release 4.5(5). (CSCdp44206)

• The LED light remains on indicating link speed even when the link is down. This problem is fixed

in software release 4.5(5). (CSCdp42337)

• Switch processor went down while loading new software. This problem is fixed in software release

4.5(5). (CSCdp43577)

• When a port is configured for SPAN with the inpkt disable option, the port still receives packets.

This problem is fixed in software release 4.5(5). (CSCdp40076)

• Entries in the ATM module LE-ARP table are changing due to incorrect CAM entries. This problem

is fixed in software release 4.5(5). (CSCdp37448)

• In software releases 4.5(3) and 4.5(4), when a VLAN designation is changed on a port on the

WS-X5010 card, new MAC entries are not learned until the port is disabled and re-enabled. This

problem is fixed in software release 4.5(5). (CSCdp38670)
