Release Notes for Catalyst5000 Family Software Release4.x

OL-2306-01

Open and Resolved Caveats in Software Release4.2(2)

• On 10 BASE-T Ethernet modules, if a port is assigned to a particular VLAN and is configured as the

SPAN source, when you change the VLAN assignment for that port, the port might stop transmitting

traffic. This problem is resolved in software release4.3(1). (CSCdk25510)

• In some cases, under heavy traffic (close to 99 percent), the system might generate a Switching Bus

Timeout error, causing the switch to reset. This problem is resolved in software release4.3(1).

(CSCdk56528)

• Under certain conditions, a Catalyst 5000 family switch stops sending syslog output to the logging

server. This problem is resolved in software release4.3(1). (CSCdj93539)

• If you have an RSM installed in a Catalyst5000 family switch running supervisor engine software

release4.2, the output of the show controller c5ip command might show many index errors. This

problem is resolved in software release4.3(1). (CSCdk56602)

• If you enable and then disable VTP version 2 in a VTP domain that includes a Gigabit EtherChannel

module, port aggregation, trunking, CDP, VTP, and in some cases spanning tree no longer function

correctly. This problem is resolved in software release 4.3(1). (CSCdk42906)

• In some cases, the Gigabit EtherChannel module (WS-X5410) might fail diagnostics (visible in the

output of the show test command) when installed in a chassis with a Supervisor Engine II. This

problem is resolved in software release 4.3(1). (CSCdk53312)

• If you enable SPAN twice on the Gigabit EtherChannel module (WS-X5410) using the set span

enable command, the Gigabit EtherChannel module changes the Oper Source port configuration to

an incorrect configuration. This problem is resolved in software release 4.3(1). (CSCdk32267)

• If you perform the following actions, a Gigabit EtherChannel module (WS-X5410) port might fail

to operate correctly even though all indications show the port to be operational:

a. Disconnect the port, bringing down the link (or disable the link at the far end).

b. Make the port a SPAN destination using the set span command.

c. Connect the port, bringing up the link (or reenable the port at the far end).

d. Disable SPAN using the set span disable command.

This problem is resolved in software release 4.3(1). (CSCdk31744)

• Setting the monitorSourcePort.0 MIB object to a value greater than 1023 is not rejected as an illegal

value. This problem is resolved in software release 4.3(1). (CSCdk26394)

• In some cases, duplicate packets might be seen on the SPAN destination port when MLS is enabled

and the SPAN source is a VLAN that is the native VLAN on one or more trunk ports. This problem

is resolved in software release 4.3(1). (CSCdk54789)
