24 Release Notes for Catalyst 6000 Family Software Release 5.x

Open and Resolved Caveats in Software Release 5.2(3)CSX

• This bug does not effect system operation. The 48-Port 10/100TX Switching Modules

(WS-X6248-TEL and WS-X6248-RJ-45) “Send admin” ﬂow control ﬁeld (show port

ﬂowcontrol mod_num/port_num) might show “desired” when the port is connected as well as

when it is not connected or disabled. This problem is ﬁxed in software release 5.3(1a)CSX.

(CSCdm37747)

• If Gigabit channel ports and 10/100BaseTX channel ports are used as SPAN source ports, the

Gigabit channel ports might not show up in the Oper Source ports ﬁeld. This problem is ﬁxed

in software release 5.3(1a)CSX. (CSCdm39024)

• This bug does not effect system operation. On disabling the Multilayer Switch Module (MSM),

the show module command shows “faulty” instead of “disabled”. This problem is ﬁxed in

software release 5.3(1a)CSX. (CSCdm42419)

• Occasionally, disabling GVRP caused an exception. This problem is ﬁxed in software release

5.3(1a)CSX. (CSCdm44130)

• If all ports of a channel are disturbed by either resetting the module(s) on the remote end, or due

to a broadcast storm, the switch might not transmit or receive any GMRP control packets. The

workaround is to disable and then enable the GMRP feature on the switch which experiences this

problem. This problem is ﬁxed in software release 5.3(1a)CSX. (CSCdm45744)

• If you delete the RMON alarmEntry or if you modify the alarmVariable of the RMON

alarmEntry while that alarmVariable is being sampled, the switch might reset. This problem is

resolved in software release 5.3(1a)CSX. (CSCdm49575)

• TACACS cannot control access to the switch based on the host’s IP address. This problem is

resolved in software release 5.3(1a)CSX. (CSCdm60984)

• A syslog message for a given facility is not sent to the syslog server if the syslog server severity

level is set to a value equal to or greater than the message severity but the default severity level

for that facility is set to a value less than the message severity. The workaround is to set the

default facility severity level to a value equal to or greater than the conﬁgured syslog severity

level. In release 5.3(1a)CSX, syslog messages are sent to the syslog server if the syslog server

severity level is equal to or greater than the message severity and the default facility severity level

is equal to or greater than the message severity. (CSCdm71889)

Open and Resolved Caveats in Software Release 5.2(3)CSX

This section describes open and resolved caveats in supervisor engine software release 5.2(3)CSX.

Open Caveats in Software Release 5.2(3)CSX

This section describes open caveats in supervisor engine software release 5.2(3)CSX:

• Changing the console port baud rate from 19,200 to 38,400 incorrectly sets the console port to

9600 baud. After a reset, the console port baud rate is 38,400. Changing the rate to 38,400 from

any other setting works correctly. (CSCdk86876)

• In systems with redundant supervisor engines, occasionally during bootup or after a switchover

to the redundant supervisor engine, a bus ASIC sequence error syslog message is reported to the

console as follows:

%SYS-1-MOD_SEQMISMATCH:Bus asic sequence mismatch occurred on module 8

This message might be generated for some or all installed modules. Ignore this message.
