Release Notes for the Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3030 for Dell, Cisco IOS Release 12.2(58)SE1
Revised December 22, 2011
Note Cisco IOS Release 12.2(58)SE images for all platforms were removed from Cisco.com because of a severe defect, CSCto62631. The solution for the defect is in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(58)SE1.
Cisco IOS Release 12.2(58)SE1 runs on the Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3030, referred to as the switch.
If you wish to use Device Manager to upgrade the switch from Cisco IOS Release 12.2(35)SE through Cisco IOS Release 12.2(40)SE1 (the LAN Base image) to Cisco IOS Release 12.2(50)SE or later (the IP base image), you must first upgrade to Cisco IOS Release 12.2(40)SE2.
These release notes include important information about Cisco IOS Release 12.2(58)SE and any limitations, restrictions, and caveats that apply to them. Verify that these release notes are correct for your switch:
•If you are installing a new switch, see the Cisco IOS release label on the switch packaging.
•If your switch is on, use the show version privileged EXEC command. See the "Finding the Software Version and Feature Set" section.
•If you are upgrading to a new release, see the software upgrade filename for the software version. See the "Deciding Which Files to Use" section.
For the complete list of Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3030 documentation, see the "Related Documentation" section.
You can download the switch software from this site (registered Cisco.com users with a login password):

Finding the Software Version and Feature Set
The Cisco IOS image is stored as a bin file in a directory that is named with the Cisco IOS release. A subdirectory contains the files needed for web management. The image is stored on the system board flash device (flash:).
You can use the show version privileged EXEC command to see the software version that is running on your switch. The second line of the display shows the version.
You can also use the dir filesystem: privileged EXEC command to see the directory names of other software images that you might have stored in flash memory.
Deciding Which Files to Use
The upgrade procedures in these release notes describe how to perform the upgrade by using a combined tar file. This file contains the Cisco IOS image file and the files needed for the embedded device manager. You must use the combined tar file to upgrade the switch through the device manager. To upgrade the switch through the command-line interface (CLI), use the tar file and the archive download-sw privileged EXEC command.
Note If you wish to use Device Manager to upgrade the switch from Cisco IOS Release 12.2(35)SE through Cisco IOS Release 12.2(40)SE1 (the LAN Base image) to Cisco IOS Release 12.2(50)SE or later (the IP base image), you must first upgrade to Cisco IOS Release 12.2(40)SE2.
Table 3 lists the filenames for this software release.
Archiving Software Images
Before upgrading your switch software, make sure that you have archived copies of the current Cisco IOS release and the Cisco IOS release to which you are upgrading. You should keep these archived images until you have upgraded all devices in the network to the new Cisco IOS image and until you have verified that the new Cisco IOS image works properly in your network.
Cisco routinely removes old Cisco IOS versions from Cisco.com. See Product Bulletin 2863 for more information:
You can copy the binary software image file (with the .bin suffix) on the flash memory to the appropriate TFTP directory on a host by using the copy flash: tftp: privileged EXEC command.
Note Although you can copy any file on the flash memory to the TFTP server, it is time consuming to copy all of the HTML files in the tar file. We recommend that you download the tar file from Cisco.com and archive it on an internal host in your network.
You can also configure the switch as a TFTP server to copy files from one switch to another without using an external TFTP server by using the tftp-server global configuration command. For more information about the tftp-server command, see the "Basic File Transfer Services Commands" section of the Cisco IOS Configuration Fundamentals Command Reference, Release 12.2 at this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/fundamentals/command/reference/cf_t1.html
Upgrading a Switch by Using the Device Manager
You can upgrade switch software by using the device manager. For detailed instructions, click Help.
Note When using the device manager to upgrade your switch, do not use or close your browser session after the upgrade process begins. Wait until after the upgrade process completes.
Upgrading a Switch by Using the CLI
This procedure is for copying the combined tar file to the switch. You copy the file to the switch from a TFTP server and extract the files. You can download an image file and replace or keep the current image.
To download software, follow these steps:
Step 1 Use Table 3 to identify the file that you want to download.
Step 2 Download the software image file:
a. If you are a registered customer, go to this URL and log in.
http://www.cisco.com/cisco/software/navigator.html?a=a&i=rpm
b. Navigate to Switches > Blade Switches.
c. Navigate to your switch model.
d. Click IOS Software, then select the latest IOS release.
Download the image you identified in Step 1.
Step 3 Copy the image to the appropriate TFTP directory on the workstation, and make sure that the TFTP server is properly configured.
For more information, see Appendix B in the software configuration guide for this release.
Step 4 Log into the switch through the console port or a Telnet session.
Step 5 (Optional) Ensure that you have IP connectivity to the TFTP server by entering this privileged EXEC command:
Switch# ping tftp-server-address
For more information about assigning an IP address and default gateway to the switch, see the software configuration guide for this release.
Step 6 Download the image file from the TFTP server to the switch. If you are installing the same version of software that is currently on the switch, overwrite the current image by entering this privileged EXEC command:
Switch# archive download-sw /overwrite /reload tftp:[[//location]/directory]/image-name.tarThe /overwrite option overwrites the software image in flash memory with the downloaded one.
The /reload option reloads the system after downloading the image unless the configuration has been changed and not saved.
For //location, specify the IP address of the TFTP server.
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/imagen-name.tarYou 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 CLI-based setup program, as described in the hardware installation guide.
•The DHCP-based autoconfiguration, as described in the software configuration guide.
•Manually assigning an IP address, as described in the software configuration guide.
New Software Features
•Protocol storm protection to control the rate of incoming protocol traffic to a switch by dropping packets that exceed a specified ingress rate.
•VACL Logging to generate syslog messages for ACL denied IP packets.
•Call Home to provide e-mail-based and web-based notification of critical system events. Users with a service contract directly with Cisco Systems can register Call Home devices for the Cisco Smart Call Home service that generates automatic service requests with the Cisco TAC.
•IETF IP-MIB and IP-FORWARD-MIB(RFC4292 and RFC4293) updates to support the IP version 6 (IPv6)-only and the IPv6 part of the protocol-version independent (PVI) objects and tables.
•Network Time Protocol version 4 (NTPv4) to support both IPv4 and IPv6 and compatibility with NTPv3.
•DHCPv6 bulk-lease query to support new bulk lease query type (as defined in RFC5460).
•The DHCPv6 relay source configuration feature to configure a source address for DHCPv6 relay agent.
•Enhancements to RADIUS, TACACS+, and SSH to function over IPv6.
•Support for the Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP for IPv4), which dynamically assigns responsibility for one or more virtual routers to the VRRP routers on a LAN, allowing multiple routers on a multiaccess link to utilize the same virtual IP address.
Limitations and Restrictions
You should review this section before you begin working with the switch. These are known limitations that will not be fixed, and there is not always a workaround. Some features might not work as documented, and some features could be affected by recent changes to the switch hardware or software.
•"Cisco IOS Limitations" section
•"Device Manager Limitations" section
Cisco IOS Limitations
Bootloader
•The bootloader label is incorrect and displays "CISCO DEVELOPMENT TEST VERSION." However, the actual bootloader software is the correct version with the correct functionality.
There is no workaround. It does not impact functionality. (CSCta72141)
Configuration
•A static IP address might be removed when the previously acquired DHCP IP address lease expires.
This problem occurs under these conditions:
–When the switch is booted without a configuration (no config.text file in flash memory).
–When the switch is connected to a DHCP server that is configured to give an address to it (the dynamic IP address is assigned to VLAN 1).
–When an IP address is configured on VLAN 1 before the dynamic address lease assigned to VLAN 1 expires.
The workaround is to reconfigure the static IP address. (CSCea71176 and CSCdz11708)
•When connected to some third-party devices that send early preambles, a switch port operating at 100 Mp/s full duplex or 100 Mp/s half duplex might bounce the line protocol up and down. The problem is observed only when the switch is receiving frames.
The workaround is to configure the port for 10 Mp/s and half duplex or to connect a hub or a nonaffected device to the switch. (CSCed39091)
•The DHCP snooping binding database is not written to flash memory or a remote file in any of these situations:
–The DHCP snooping database file is manually removed from the file system. After enabling the DHCP snooping database by configuring a database URL, a database file is created. If the file is manually removed from the file system, the DHCP snooping database does not create another database file. You need to disable the DHCP snooping database and enable it again to create the database file.
–The URL for the configured DHCP snooping database was replaced because the original URL was not accessible. The new URL might not take effect after the timeout of the old URL.
No workaround is necessary. (CSCed50819)
•When port security is enabled on an interface in restricted mode and the switchport block unicast interface command has been entered on that interface, MAC addresses are incorrectly forwarded when they should be blocked
The workaround is to enter the no switchport block unicast interface configuration command on that specific interface. (CSCee93822)
•A traceback error occurs if a crypto key is generated after an SSL client session.
There is no workaround. This is a cosmetic error and does not affect the functionality of the switch. (CSCef59331)
•When you enter the boot host retry timeout global configuration command to specify the amount of time that the client should keep trying to download the configuration and you do not enter a timeout value, the default value is zero, which should mean that the client keeps trying indefinitely. However, the client does not keep trying to download the configuration.
The workaround is to always enter a non zero value for the timeout value when you enter the boot host retry timeout timeout-value command. (CSCsk65142)
Ethernet
•Traffic on EtherChannel ports is not perfectly load-balanced. Egress traffic on EtherChannel ports are distributed to member ports on load balance configuration and traffic characteristics like MAC or IP address. More than one traffic stream might map to same member ports, based on hashing results calculated by the ASIC.
If this happens, traffic distribution is uneven on EtherChannel ports.
Changing the load balance distribution method or changing the number of ports in the EtherChannel can resolve this problem. Use any of these workarounds to improve EtherChannel load balancing:
–for random source-ip and dest-ip traffic, configure load balance method as src-dst-ip
–for incrementing source-ip traffic, configure load balance method as src-ip
–for incrementing dest-ip traffic, configure load balance method as dst-ip
–Configure the number of ports in the EtherChannel so that the number is equal to a power of 2 (for example, 2, 4, or 8)
For example, with load balance configured as dst-ip with 150 distinct incrementing destination IP addresses, and the number of ports in the EtherChannel set to either 2, 4, or 8, load distribution is optimal. (CSCeh81991)
IP
•When the rate of received DHCP requests exceeds 2,000 packets per minute for a long time, the response time might be slow when you are using the console.
The workaround is to use rate limiting on DHCP traffic to prevent a denial of service attack from occurring. (CSCeb59166)
IP Telephony
•After you change the access VLAN on a port that has IEEE 802.1x enabled, the IP phone address is removed. Because learning is restricted on IEEE 802.1x-capable ports, it takes approximately 30 seconds before the address is relearned.
No workaround is necessary. (CSCea85312)
Multicasting
•If an IGMP report packet has two multicast group records, the switch removes or adds interfaces depending on the order of the records in the packet:
–If the ALLOW_NEW_SOURCE record is before the BLOCK_OLD_SOURCE record, the switch removes the port from the group.
–If the BLOCK_OLD_SOURCE record is before the ALLOW_NEW_SOURCE record, the switch adds the port to the group.
There is no workaround. (CSCec20128)
•When IGMP snooping is disabled and you enter the switchport block multicast interface configuration command, IP multicast traffic is not blocked.
The switchport block multicast interface configuration command is only applicable to non-IP multicast traffic.
There is no workaround. (CSCee16865)
QoS
•Some switch queues are disabled if the buffer size or threshold level is set too low with the mls qos queue-set output global configuration command. The ratio of buffer size to threshold level should be greater than 10 to avoid disabling the queue.
The workaround is to choose compatible buffer sizes and threshold levels. (CSCea76893)
•When auto-QoS is enabled on the switch, priority queuing is not enabled. Instead, the switch uses shaped round robin (SRR) as the queuing mechanism. The auto-QoS feature is designed on each platform based on the feature set and hardware limitations, and the queuing mechanism supported on each platform might be different.
There is no workaround. (CSCee22591)
•A QoS service policy with a policy map containing more than 62 policers cannot be added to an interface by using the service-policy interface configuration command.
The workaround is to use policy maps with 62 or fewer policers. (CSCsc59418)
•If you configure a large number of input interface VLANs in a class map, a traceback message similar to this might appear:
01:01:32: %BIT-4-OUTOFRANGE: bit 1321 is not in the expected range of 0 to 1024There is no impact to switch functionality.
There is no workaround. (CSCtg32101)
SPAN and RSPAN
•Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP), VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP), and Port Aggregation Protocol (PAgP) packets received from a SPAN source are not sent to the destination interfaces of a local SPAN session.
The workaround is to use the monitor session session_number destination {interface interface-id encapsulation replicate} global configuration command for local SPAN. (CSCed24036)
Trunking
•The switch treats frames received with mixed encapsulation (IEEE 802.1Q and Inter-Switch Link [ISL]) as frames with FCS errors, increments the error counters, and the port LED blinks amber. This happens when an ISL-unaware device receives an ISL-encapsulated packet and forwards the frame to an IEEE 802.1Q trunk interface.
There is no workaround. (CSCdz33708)
•IP traffic with IP options set is sometimes leaked on a trunk port. For example, a trunk port is a member of an IP multicast group in VLAN X but is not a member in VLAN Y. If VLAN Y is the output interface for the multicast route entry assigned to the multicast group and an interface in VLAN Y belongs to the same multicast group, the IP-option traffic received on an input VLAN interface other than one in VLAN Y is sent on the trunk port in VLAN Y because the trunk port is forwarding in VLAN Y, even though the port has no group membership in VLAN Y.
There is no workaround. (CSCdz42909).
•For trunk ports or access ports configured with IEEE 802.1Q tagging, inconsistent statistics might appear in the show interfaces counters privileged EXEC command output. Valid IEEE 802.1Q frames of 64 to 66 bytes are correctly forwarded even though the port LED blinks amber, and the frames are not counted on the interface statistics.
There is no workaround. (CSCec35100).
VLAN
•If the number of VLANs times the number of trunk ports exceeds the recommended limit of 13,000, the switch can fail.
The workaround is to reduce the number of VLANs or trunks. (CSCeb31087)
•When dynamic ARP inspection is configured on a VLAN, and the ARP traffic on a port in the VLAN is within the configured rate limit, the port might go into an error-disabled state.
The workaround is to configure the burst interval to more than 1 second. (CSCse06827)
•When many VLANs are configured on the switch, high CPU utilization occurs when many links are flapping at the same time.
The workaround is to remove unnecessary VLANs to reduce CPU utilization when many links are flapping. (CSCtl04815)
Device Manager Limitations
•When you are prompted to accept the security certificate and you click No, you only see a blank screen, and the device manager does not start.
The workaround is to click Yes when you are prompted to accept the certificate. (CSCef45718)
Important Notes
Note Beginning with Cisco IOS Release 12.2(58)SE, the software configuration guide no longer includes a MIB appendix. To locate and download MIBs for a specific Cisco product and release, use the Cisco MIB Locator:
`http://cisco.com/public/sw-center/netmgmt/cmtk/mibs.shtml.
•"Device Manager Notes" section
Cisco IOS Notes
•The behavior of the no logging on global configuration command changed in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(18)SE and later. You can only use the logging on and then the no logging console global configuration commands to disable logging to the console. (CSCec71490)
•In Cisco IOS Release 12.2(25)SEC, the implementation for multiple spanning tree (MST) changed from the previous release. Multiple STP (MSTP) complies with the IEEE 802.1s standard. Previous MSTP implementations were based on a draft of the IEEE 802.1s standard.
•If the switch requests information from the Cisco Secure Access Control Server (ACS) and the message exchange times out because the server does not respond, a message similar to this appears:
00:02:57: %RADIUS-4-RADIUS_DEAD: RADIUS server 172.20.246.206:1645,1646 is not responding.If this message appears, make sure that there is network connectivity between the switch and the ACS. You should also make sure that the switch has been properly configured as an AAA client on the ACS.
•Cisco IOS Release 12.2(40)SE and later
If the switch has interfaces with automatic QoS for voice over IP (VoIP) configured and you upgrade the switch software to Cisco IOS Release 12.2(40)SE (or later), when you enter the auto qos voip cisco-phone interface configuration command on another interface, you might see this message:
AutoQoS Error: ciscophone input service policy was not properly appliedpolicy map AutoQoS-Police-CiscoPhone not configuredIf this happens, enter the no auto qos voip cisco-phone interface command on all interface with this configuration to delete it. Then enter the auto qos voip cisco-phone command on each of these interfaces to reapply the configuration.
Device Manager Notes
•We recommend this browser setting to more quickly display the device manager from Microsoft Internet Explorer.
From Microsoft Internet Explorer:
1. Choose Tools > Internet Options.
2. Click Settings in the Temporary Internet files area.
3. From the Settings window, choose Automatically.
4. Click OK.
5. Click OK to exit the Internet Options window.
•The HTTP server interface must be enabled to display the device manager. By default, the HTTP server is enabled on the switch. Use the show running-config privileged EXEC command to see if the HTTP server is enabled or disabled.
•If you are not using the default method of authentication (the enable password), you need to configure the HTTP server interface with the method of authentication used on the switch.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure the HTTP server interface:
•The device manager uses the HTTP protocol (the default is port 80) and the default method of authentication (the enable password) to communicate with the switch through any of its Ethernet ports and to allow switch management from a standard web browser.
If you change the HTTP port, you must include the new port number when you enter the IP address in the browser Location or Address field (for example, http://10.1.126.45:184 where 184 is the new HTTP port number). You should write down the port number through which you are connected. Use care when changing the switch IP information.
•If you use Internet Explorer Version 5.5 and select a URL with a nonstandard port at the end of the address (for example, www.cisco.com:84), you must enter http:// as the URL prefix. Otherwise, you cannot start the device manager.
Open Caveats
•CSCtg98453
When you make port security changes on an interface, such as configuring aging time, violations, or aging type, error messages and tracebacks might appear.
There is no workaround.
•CSCtl32991
Unicast EIGRP packets destined for the switch are sent to the host queue instead of to the higher priority routing protocol queue.
Note This does not occur when packets are routed through the switch to another destination.
There is no workaround.
•CSCtl60247
When a switch running Multiple Spanning Tree (MST) is connected to a switch running Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP), the MST switch acts as the root bridge and runs per-VLAN spanning tree (PVST) simulation mode on boundary ports connected to the RST switch. If the allowed VLAN on all trunk ports connecting these switches is changed to a VLAN other than VLAN 1 and the root port of the RSTP switch is shut down and then enabled, the boundary ports connected to the root port move immediately to the forward state without going through the PVST+ slow transition.
There is no workaround.
•CSCtl81217
When a switch is using a DHCP server to assign IP addresses and an interface on the switch has RIP enabled, if the switch reloads, the interface loses some RIP configuration (specifically RIP authentication mode and RIP authentication key-chain). This does not happen when the IP address is statically configured on the interface. The problem occurs only when you configure RIP before an IP address is assigned by the DHCP server.
There is no workaround, but you can use an embedded event manager (EEM) script to add the interface configuration commands on the interface:
ip rip authentication mode
ip rip key-chain
•CSCtq01926
When you configure a port to be in a dynamic VLAN by entering the switchport access vlan dynamic interface configuration command on it, the switch might reload when it processes ARP requests on the port.
The workaround is to configure static VLANs for these ports.
Resolved Caveats
•CSCtg00542
A Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) bundle takes up to 70 seconds to form when NetFlow sampling is enabled.
The workaround is to disable NetFlow sampling.
•CSCtg11547
When you configure a switch to send messages to a syslog server in a VPN Routing and Forwarding (VRF) instance, the messages are not sent to the server.
The workaround is to remove the VRF configuration.
•CSCtg71149
When ports in an EtherChannel are linking up, the message
EC-5-CANNOT_BUNDLE2
might appear. This condition is often self-correcting, indicated by the appearance ofEC-5-COMPATIBLE
message following the first message. On occasion, the issue does not self-correct, and the ports may remain unbundled.The workaround is to reload the switch or to restore the EtherChannel bundle by shutting down and then enabling the member ports and the EtherChannel in this order:
–Enter the shutdown interface configuration command on each member port.
–Enter the shutdown command on the port-channel interface.
–Enter the no shutdown command on each member port.
–Enter the no shutdown command on the port-channel interface.
•CSCth44403
When you connect a switch as a VLAN Trunk Protocol (VTP) client to a Catalyst 4000 switch configured as a VTP client or server and the VTP database contains more than 512 VLANs, the database is not correctly updated.
The workaround is to connect the VTP client directly to a Catalyst 6500 VTP server.
•CSCti27620
The switch does not generate SNMP traps when a power supply is disconnected.
There is no workaround.
•CSCti37197
Enabling the Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) on a tunnel interface causes the switch to fail when a a CDP packet is received on the interface.
Note Tunnels are not supported on these platforms.
The workaround is to use the no cdp enable interface configuration command to disable CDP on the interface.
•CSCti61145
When you configure storm control with range command on two interfaces that belong to an EtherChannel group, this message appears:
%SYS-3-CPUHOG: Task is running for (2097)msecs, more than (2000)msecs (0/0), process = Virtual Exec.The workaround is to configure storm control on a port channel interface.
•CSCti69845 -
When MAC Authentication Bypass (MAB) is used in multi-authentication mode, a security violation occurs after successful authentication.
The workaround is to use a different authentication mode (single, multidomain or multihost).
•CSCti78365
The config.text.backup file is present after the switch is restored to the factory defaults.
There is no workaround.
•CSCti95834
When you enter the ipv6 traffic-filter interface configuration command, it might not filter traffic as expected, and it might allow traffic to pass through.
There is no workaround.
•CSCtj03875
When you disconnect the spanning tree protocol (STP) peer link, the STP port path cost configuration changes.
There is no workaround.
•CSCtj75471
When a spanning-tree bridge protocol data unit (BPDU) is received on an 802.1Q trunk port and has a VLAN ID is greater than or equal to 4095, the spanning-tree lookup process fails.
There is no workaround.
•CSCtj83964
On a switch running Protocol-Independent Multicast (PIM) and Source Specific Multicast (SSM), multicast traffic might not be sent to the correct port after the switch reloads.
The workaround is to enter the clear ip route privileged EXEC command or reconfigure PIM and SSM after a reload.
•CSCtj88307
When you enter the default interface, switchport, or no switchport interface configuration command on the switch, this message appears: EMAC phy access error, port 0, retrying......
There is no workaround.
•CSCtk11275
On a switch running Cisco IOS Release 12.2(55)SE with the parser config cache interface global configuration command in the configuration, when you use the CISCO-MAC-NOTIFICATION-MIB to enable the SNMP MAC address notification trap, the trap is enabled, but the trap setting does not appear in the switch configuration.
The workaround is to remove the parser config cache interface command from the configuration.
•CSCtk13113
The CPU usage on a standalone switch varies as the switch updates the running configuration.
There is no workaround.
•CSCtl42740
When 802.1x MAC authentication bypass with multidomain authentication and critical VLAN are enabled on an interface on a switch running Cisco IOS Release 12.2(53)SE or later, if the switch loses connectivity with the AAA server, the switch might experience high CPU usage and show these messages:
AUTH-EVENT (Gi0/15) Received clear security violationAUTH-EVENT (Gi0/15) dot1x_is_mab_interested_in_mac: Still waiting for a MAC on port GigabitEthernet0/15There is no workaround.
•CSCtl51859
Neighbor discovery fails for IPv6 hosts connected to the switch when the IPv6 MLD snooping feature is enabled globally on the switch.
The workaround is to disable IPv6 MLD snooping on the switch.
•CSCtl80678
The port manager callback might cause more than 90% CPU usage for up to 20 minutes under these conditions:
–Link comes up simultaneously on multiple dot1q trunk ports.
–VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP) pruning is enabled.
The workaround is to disable VTP pruning.
•CSCto62631
A switch running Cisco IOS Release 12.2(58)SE might reload if:
–SSH version 2 is configured on the switch, and
–a customized login banner was configured by using the banner login message global configuration command
Use one of these workarounds:
–Disable the login banner by entering the no login banner command.
–Disable SSH on the switch.
–Downgrade to a software version prior to Cisco IOS Release 12.2(58)SE.
