Open and Resolved Caveats in Software Release 4.5(2)

• If you configure a port as an ISL trunk in on mode and the neighbor port is configured in off mode,

the switch still forwards Token Ring ISL frames over the link.

Workaround: Correct the misconfiguration by configuring the ports to compatible trunk modes (for

example, both off, both on, one desirable and one auto, and so forth). This problem is fixed in

software release4.5(3). (CSCdm44861)

• If you configure a port on the 24-port 10/100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet RJ-45 module (WS-X5225R)

as a SPAN destination port, incoming interVLAN traffic on the SPAN source port is not mirrored

on the SPAN destination port when IP MLS is enabled. This problem is fixed in software

release4.5(3). (CSCdm74201)

• A syslog message for a given facility is not sent to the syslog server if the syslog server severity

level is set to a value equal to or greater than the message severity but the default severity level for

that facility is set to a value less than the message severity.

Workaround: Set the default facility severity level to a value equal to or greater than the configured

syslog severity level. In release4.5(3), syslog messages are sent to the syslog server if the syslog

server severity level is equal to or greater than the message severity and the default facility severity

level is equal to or greater than the message severity. (CSCdm71889)

• In some cases, when you clear the configuration using the clear config all command, not all routes

are removed from the IP routing table.

Workaround: Configure the in-band (sc0), out-of-band management Ethernet (me1), and SLIP

(sl0) interfaces down using the set interface {sc0 | me1 | sl0} down command before clearing the

configuration. This problem is fixed in software release4.5(3). (CSCdm56746)

• On a switch with redundant Supervisor Engine III modules and an RSM, if the switch is a VTP client

and you reset of the active supervisor engine, VLAN interfaces on the RSM fail to come back up.

Workaround: Configure the switch as a VTP server or as VTP transparent. This problem is fixed

in software release4.5(3). (CSCdm23628)

• Attempts to authenticate users on the switch using CiscoSecure NT might fail because the switch

does not include the remote address (rem_addr) field in TACACS+ authentication packets. This

problem is fixed in software release4.5(3). (CSCdm60984)

• If you configure a switch from a configuration file on a TFTP server and the configuration applies

to 24-port 10BASE-T RJ-45 (WS-X5013) modules in the switch, one or more of the WS-X5013

modules might stop responding. In addition, if you enter the show mac command, this message is

displayed for the affected module: “Unable to access counters.”

Workaround: Reset the module. This problem is fixed in software release4.5(3). (CSCdm74925)
