Release Notes for Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3120 for HP, Cisco IOS Release 12.2(55)SE and Later

OL-22860-04

Installation Notes

For /directory/image-name.tar, specify the directory (optional) and the image to download. Directory

and image names are case sensitive.

This example shows how to download an image from a TFTP server at 198.30.20.19 and to overwrite

the image on the switch:

Switch# archive download-sw /overwrite

tftp://198.30.20.19/cbs31x0-universal-tar.122-40.EX1.tar

You can also download the image file from the TFTP server to the switch and keep the current image by

replacing the /overwrite option with the /leave-old-sw option.

Recovering from a Software Failure

For additional recovery procedures, see the “Troubleshooting” chapter in the software configuration

guide for this release.

Installation Notes

You can assign IP information to your switch by using these methods:

• The Express Setup program, as described in the switch getting started guide.

• The CLI-based setup program, as described in the switch hardware installation guide.

• The DHCP-based autoconfiguration, as described in the switch software configuration guide.

• Manually assigning an IP address, as described in the switch software configuration guide.

New Software Features

• Auto-QoS enhancements that add automatic configuration classification of traffic flow from video

devices, such as the Cisco Telepresence System and Cisco Surveillance Camera.

• Support for CDP and LLDP enhancements for exchanging location information with video end

points for dynamic location-based content distribution from servers.

• Support for dynamic creation or attachment of an auth-default ACL on a port that has no configured

static ACLs configured.

• Support for VLAN assignment on a port configured for multi-auth mode. The RADIUS server

assigns a VLAN to the first host to authenticate on the port, and subsequent hosts use the same

VLAN. Voice VLAN assignment is supported for one IP phone.

• Support for the Security Group Tag (SCT) Exchange Protocol (SXP) component of Cisco TrustSec,

a security architecture using authentication, encryption, and access control.

• AAA guarantee-first support for enabling or disabling system accounting as the first record.

• An option to suppress verbose 802.1x, authentication manager, and MAC authentication bypass

syslog messages.

• Support for Embedded Event Manager (EEM) in the IP base image.

• Support for QoS class-default policy placement.
