Open and Resolved Caveats in Software Release4.1(2)
Resolved Caveats in Software Release4.1(3)
Note For a description of open caveats in software release 4.1(3), see the Open Caveats in Software
Release4.1(3)” section on page71.
This section describes caveats resolved in software release4.1(3):
Under heavy traffic conditions, ports 1–24 (or ports 25–48) of the 48-port, 10 BASE-T Ethernet
module (WS-X5012) might stop transmitting frames. This problem is resolved in software
release4.1(3). (CSCdj82035)
On a Catalyst 5000 family switch running software release 4.1(2), the WS-C5568 and WS-C5598
DC power supplies are incorrectly identified by the software as being WS-C5508 AC power
supplies. Although they are incorrectly identified, the power supplies still operate correctly. This
problem is resolved in software release4.1(3). (CSCdk28191)

Open Caveats in Software Release4.1(2)
Note For a description of caveats resolved in software release 4.1(2), see the Resolved Caveats in
Software Release4.1(2)” section on page73.
This section describes open caveats in software release4.1(2).
Caution We do not recommend using the Token Ring modules (WS-X5030 and WS-X5031) with supervisor
engine release 4.1(2).
If you have redundant Fast EtherChannel links and redundant Gigabit Ethernet links, and UplinkFast
is enabled, Fast EtherChannel may be incorrectly chosen as the primary path.
Workaround: Manually adjust the port costs. (CSCdk02273, CSCdk10855)
On a Catalyst 5000 family switch with a Supervisor Engine III, if the “System Uptime” (shown in
the output of the show version command) reaches 49days, 17hours, and 3minutes (2
32
seconds),
some switching modules might reset. (CSCdk32229)
