Open and Resolved Caveats in Software Release 4.5(2)
Open Caveats in Software Release4.5(2)
Note For a description of caveats resolved in software release4.5(2), see the “Resolved Caveats in
Software Release4.5(2)” section on page43.
This section describes open caveats in software release4.5(2).
• 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: Di sable 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)
• 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.
(CSCdk31985)
• In some cases, after a switchover from the active to the standby supervisor engine, the SPAN
destination port might not function correctly. (CSCdk55360)
• 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). (CSCdm34091)
• 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. (CSCdm01166)
• 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. (CSCdm71889)
• 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)
