Open and Resolved Caveats in Software Release 4.5(3)
Resolved Caveats in Software Release4.5(3)
Note For a description of open caveats in software release4.5(3), see the “Open Caveats in Software
Release4.5(3)” section on page39.
This section describes caveats resolved in software release 4.5(3):
• Autonegotiation between Sun 10/100 NICs and certain Catalyst5000 family modules (such as the
WS-X5225R) might result in speed and/or duplex mismatches under certain conditions. The
problem typically occurs after you reset the module or you disable and reenable the switch port.
Workaround: Di sconnect and reconnect the cable connecting the workstation to the switch port.
This problem is fixed in software release4.5(3). (CSCdm51653)
• In some situations, the “RxBPDUThresholdDrop” counter does not show the actual number of
dropped frames. This problem is fixed in software release4.5(3). (CSCdm56862)
• When you configure a port with a connected workstation as the SPAN destination port (with the
inpkts option enabled) for a SPAN source port configured as a VLAN trunk, attempts to ping other
devices in the network from the workstation fail. This problem is fixed in software release4.5(3).
(CSCdm48998)
• If you repeatedly delete and create an etherStatsEntry, you might be unable to access the counter
MIB objects for the current etherStatsEntry.
Workaround: De lete the problem etherStatsEntry and create a new one. This problem is fixed in
software release4.5(3). (CSCdm01166)
• If you configure an RMON threshold alarm on the switch and that alarm is triggered while a MIB
walk is in progress, the MIB walking application might loop back to the first leaf of the MIB branch
it is currently walking.
Workaround: Di sable RMON, not configure any RMON alarms on the switch, or increase the
polling interval of the alarm (such as one poll every five minutes). This problem is fixed in software
release4.5(3). (CSCdm34091)
• On the Gigabit EtherChannel module (WS-X5410), when the native VLAN of a trunk port is cleared
and then the trunk port is set to off, the port is placed in the inactive state but the Link LED for the
port still shows green. The correct behavior is that the LED for the port should show orange. This
problem is fixed in software release4.5(3). (CSCdk31985)
• If you repeatedly delete and create an etherStatsEntry, you might be unable to access the counter
MIB objects for the current etherStatsEntry.
Workaround: De lete the problem etherStatsEntry and create a new one. This problem is fixed in
software release4.5(3). (CSCdm01166)
• In some cases, the CiscoView application fails to display a Catalyst5000 family switch if the switch
contains 24-port 10/100BASE-TX RJ-45 (WS-X5224) or 24-port 10/100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet
RJ-45 (WS-X5225R) modules.
Workaround: Increase the polling interval value on the CiscoView application. This problem is
fixed in software release4.5(3). (CSCdm34809)
