Release Notes for Catalyst5000 Family Software Release4.x
OL-2306-01
Open and Resolved Caveats in Software Release 4.4(1)
• When a Catalyst 5000 family switch learns a MAC address on a port of the Gigabit EtherChannel
module (WS-X5410), an ATM LANE module installed in the same chassis might be unable to
respond to LE-ARP requests for that MAC address. As a result, all traffic for this MAC address is
forwarded through the BUS rather than over a data direct VC, resulting in poor network
performance. This problem is resolved in software release4.4(1). (CSCdk67909)
• If you attempt to configure a port filter with a protocol or MAC address of 0 on the Catalyst5000
family Token Ring modules (WS-X5030 and WS-X5031), the filter is not set on the module but
appears multiple times in the output of the show config command. These configuration file entries
cannot be removed using the clear port filter command.
Workaround: Clear the configuration, reset the switch, and restore the original configuration. This
problem is resolved in software release4.4(1). (CSCdk55091)
• In the output of the show module command, the NFFC II (WS-F5531=) is incorrectly identified as
the NFFC+. This problem is resolved in software release4.4(1). (CSCdk70972)
• SNMP queries might take an unusually long amount of time on a Catalyst 5000 family switch with
a LANE module installed, especially when you attempt to enable RMON alarms on the device. This
problem is resolved in software release4.4(1). (CSCdk22392)
• In some cases, VMPS client switches might reset when an end station is moved from a static port to
a dynamic port. This problem is resolved in software release4.4(1). (CSCdk56145)
• On a VMPS client switch attached to an ATM cloud, MAC addresses reachable over the ATM link
might incorrectly be interpreted by the VMPS client as connected to a local Ethernet port. If the
VMPS server is configured to deny VLAN membership to MAC addresses that are not contained in
the VMPS database, communication with devices located out the ATM link is lost. This problem is
resolved in software release4.4(1). (CSCdk61813)
• In some cases, in a Catalyst5000 family switch with an EARL1+ daughter card and one or more
12-port 100BASE-FX Ethernet (WS-X5201R) or 24-port 10/100BASE-TX Ethernet (WS-X5225R)
modules, a switching bus timeout might occur. This problem is resolved in software release4.4(1).
(CSCdk61818)
• When you attempt to configure the switch using the configure network command, the switch might
reset. The problem only occurs when you specify the DNS host name instead of the dotted decimal
IP address of the TFTP server. This problem is resolved in software release4.4(1). (CSCdk66599)
• The sysDescr MIB object does not contain the software version information. This problem is
resolved in software release4.4(1). (CSCdk63651)
• In some cases, an ATM module might not receive any traffic even though the show spantree
command output shows that the port is connected. This problem is resolved in software release
4.4(1). (CSCdk50047)
• When a station attached to the 48-port, 10BASE-T Ethernet module (WS-X5012) is powered off or
disconnected, the ifOutOctets counter value for the port (shown in the output of the show counters
command) is changed to whatever the current ifInOctets counter value is for that port. This problem
is resolved in software release 4.4(1). (CSCdk58207)
