Release Notes for Catalyst5000 Family Software Release4.x

OL-2306-01

Open and Resolved Caveats in Software Release 4.3(1)

• When you enter the set port protocol group command, the command functions normally and is

saved in NVRAM, but does not appear in the output of the show config command. This problem is

resolved in software release4.4(1). (CSCdk63943)

• In some cases, if you power up a workstation connected to the 24-port 10/100BASE-TX Fast

Ethernet module (WS-X5225R) after a reset, the workstation cannot connect to the network until

the port is disabled and reenabled. This problem is resolved in software release 4.4(1).

(CSCdk44532)

• In some cases, when you run a switch TopN report on a switch with Token Ring modules, data for

the Token Ring modules is not returned in the report. This problem is resolved in software release

4.4(1). (CSCdk54499)

• If a link on a port comes up and immediately goes down again for whatever reason, the port might

be placed in the errdisable state. You must reenable the port using the set port enable command.

This problem is resolved in software release 4.4(1). (CSCdk62426)

• If you remove and reinsert the standby supervisor engine in a redundant configuration, SNMP

module down/up traps might not be generated. This problem is resolved in software release 4.4(1).

(CSCdk45449)

• In a system with redundant Supervisor Engine III modules, after a switchover from the active to the

standby supervisor engine, any 48-port, 10 BASE-T Ethernet modules (WS-X5012) installed in the

system might reset. The expected behavior is that the modules stay online. This problem is resolved

in software release 4.4(1). (CSCdk72006)

• In some cases, you cannot remove a UGHD (up, gateway, host, dynamic) route from the

Catalyst5000 family switch IP routing table. This problem is resolved in software release4.4(1).

(CSCdk14130)

• In some cases, when you initiate a TFTP download of a configuration file that contains the set

interface command, SNMP queries to the switch will fail.

Workaround: Remove the set interface command in the configuration file. This problem is

resolved in software release4.4(1). (CSCdk67081)

• In some cases, on Catalyst5000 family switches with Supervisor Engine III, configuring the port

priority level to high (using the set port level mod_num/port_num high command) on certain

modules can cause a switching bus timeout, resetting the switch. The problem only occurs on

modules with EPLD-based arbiters. Use the show test command to check whether a particular

module is affected. Modules that display “N” in the SAMBA field are affected.

Workaround: Configure the port priority level to normal on the affected module. This problem is

resolved in software release4.4(1). (CSCdk69662)
