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

Open Caveats in Software Release4.2(2)

Note For a description of caveats resolved in software release 4.2(2), see the “Resolved Caveats in

Software Release4.2(2)” section on page65.

This section describes open caveats in software release4.2(2).

• If you configure Fast EtherChannel on the Supervisor Engine III dual-port fiber-optic uplink module

(WS-U5533-FEFX-MMF or WS-U5535-FEFX-SMF) and the link in one direction on one of the

ports fails so that receive (Rx) traffic is no longer received on that port, that port incorrectly

continues to transmit traffic. The correct behavior is that the port should be disabled, allowing all

traffic to be transmitted over the second link in the bundle. (CSCdk49184)

• 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 the “Designated Root Port” field of the show spantree command, a four-port channel on

ports4–8 of the Gigabit EtherChannel module (WS-X5410) is incorrectly shown as being a

five-port channel (ports5–9). (CSCdk25123)

• In some cases, when you attempt to use the CiscoView Device Configuration window to modify the

IP routing table on a Catalyst 5000 family switch, the change is not made on the switch correctly. If

you attempt to change the ipRouteNextHop, the value is not changed. If you attempt to change the

ipRouteDest, a new table entry is added instead of the old value being changed. (CSCdk34909)

• When you attempt to set a SPAN source that contains two FDDI ports, the command fails and

displays this message: “failed to configure span feature.”

Workaround: Set a single FDDI port as the SPAN source. (CSCdk37502)

• When you set a port on the 24-port 10/100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet module (WS-X5225R) as the

SPAN destination for receive traffic on an ISL trunk port, not all unicast and multicast frames are

seen on the SPAN destination port. (CSCdk31709)

• In some situations, when a port is removed from a VLAN configured as a SPAN source, the port

continues to appear as an “Oper Source” in the output of the show span command. (CSCdk32034)

• In some situations, a port set to autonegotiate speed and duplex on a 24-port 10/100BASE-TX Fast

Ethernet module (WS-X5225R) that is connected to a port on a 12-port 10/100BASE-TX RJ-45

module or a 12-port 10/100BASE-TX Fast EtherChannel module (WS-X5213A or WS-X5203) in

another switch incorrectly negotiates a half-duplex link when either of the switches is reset.

Workaround: Manually set the port speed and duplex using the set port speed and set port duplex

commands. (CSCdk37919)
