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

Open and Resolved Caveats in Software Release 5.2(2)CSX

• When a port goes into the errdisable state, it may cause the MAC addresses of other devices to

be learned from the port that is in the errdisable state. This problem is ﬁxed in software release

5.2(3)CSX. (CSCdm48887)

• Occasionally, SNMP cannot access the ifDescriptors of some modules. This problem is ﬁxed in

software release 5.2(3)CSX. (CSCdm48259)

• When you hot-insert an MSM module into a chassis with minimal unused power capacity, the

switch might reset. This problem is ﬁxed in software release 5.2(3)CSX. (CSCdm53061)

• If a gigabit Ethernet port is brieﬂy disconnected, it might show as not connected when it actually

is. This problem is ﬁxed in software release 5.2(3)CSX. (CSCdm60378)

• When resetting a Catalyst 2900XL switch that has a Gigabit Ethernet connection between a

2931-XL module and a WS-X6408-GBIC module in a Catalyst 6000 family switch, the

connection might not reestablish. This problem is ﬁxed in software release 5.2(3)CSX.

(CSCdm80035)

• Occasionally, no RMON alarms are generated. This problem is ﬁxed in software release

5.2(3)CSX. (CSCdm84753)

• Occasionally, host NICs connected to WS-X6248-TEL or WS-X6248-RJ-45 modules may

incorrectly revert to half-duplex after an auto-negotiation failure. This problem is ﬁxed in

software release 5.2(3)CSX. (CSCdm88013)

Open and Resolved Caveats in Software Release 5.2(2)CSX

This section describes open and resolved caveats in supervisor engine software release 5.2(2)CSX.

Open Caveats in Software Release 5.2(2)CSX

This section describes open caveats in supervisor engine software release 5.2(2)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.

(CSCdm01334)

• If the switch is in VTP client mode, entry of a copy device:ﬁlename conﬁg command may

generate messages about nonexistent VLANs. Wait until the show vlan command displays the

VLANs and then enter the copy command again. This problem is ﬁxed in software release

5.3(1)CSX. (CSCdm07337)

• Do not conﬁgure anymodule so that the number of GVRP-enabled ports, including the individual

physical ports in GVRP-enabled EtherChannels, times the number of VLANs on the module,

exceeds 720. This problem is ﬁxed in software release 5.3(1)CSX. (CSCdm18614)

• The MSM is not supported as a SPAN source port. Conﬁguring the MSM as a SPAN source port

generates a “Failed to conﬁgure source port” message. If you conﬁgure the MSM as a SPAN

source port, all subsequent SPAN source port conﬁguration commands for that SPAN session
