Cluster Compatibility
You cannot create and manage switch clusters through the device manager. Use the command-line interface (CLI) or the Network Assistant application.
When creating a switch cluster or adding a switch to a cluster, follow these guidelines:
•When you create a switch cluster, we recommend that you configure the highest-end switch in your cluster as the command switch.
•If you are managing the cluster through Network Assistant, configure the switch with the latest software should be the command switch.
•The standby command switch must be the same type as the command switch. For example, if the command switch is a Catalyst 2350 switch, all standby command switches must be Catalyst 2350 switches.
For additional information about clustering, see Getting Started with Cisco Network Assistant and Release Notes for Cisco Network Assistant (not orderable but available on Cisco.com), the software configuration guide, and the command reference.
CNA Support
Cisco Network Assistant 5.4 and earlier does not provide specific device support for the Catalyst 2350 switch. For more information about Network Assistant, see the Release Notes for Cisco Network Assistant on Cisco.com.
Upgrading the Switch Software
•"Finding the Software Version and Feature Set" section
•"Deciding Which Files to Use" section
•"Upgrading a Switch by Using the Device Manager or Network Assistant" section
•"Upgrading a Switch by Using the CLI" section
•"Recovering from a Software Failure" section
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.
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 from 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:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/iosswrel/ps5187/prod_bulletin0900aecd80281c0e.html
You can copy the bin software image file 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:
Upgrading a Switch by Using the Device Manager or Network Assistant
You can upgrade switch software by using the device manager or Network Assistant. 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 new image file and replace or keep the current image.
Step 1 Use Table 3 to identify the file that you want to download.
Step 2 Download the software image file. If you have a SmartNet support contract, go to this URL, and log in.
http://www.cisco.com/kobayashi/sw-center/sw-lan.shtml
To download the image for a Catalyst 2350 switch, click Catalyst 2350 software. To obtain authorization and to download the cryptographic software files, click Catalyst 2350 3DES Cryptographic Software.
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-addressFor more information about assigning an IP address and a 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/c2350-lanlite-tar.122-46.EY.tarThis example shows how to download an image from a TFTP server and keep the current image by replacing the /overwrite option with the /leave-old-sw option:
Switch# archive download-sw /leave-old-sw tftp://198.30.20.19/c2350-lanlite-tar.122-46.EY.tar
Recovering from a Software Failure
For recovery procedures, see the "Troubleshooting" chapter in the software configuration guide for this release.
New Software Features
There are no new software features in this release.
Configuration 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.
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
•"Address Resolution Protocol" section
•"Cisco X2 Transceiver Modules and SFP Modules" section
Address Resolution Protocol
This is an Address Resolution Protocol limitation:
•The switch might place a port in an error-disabled state due to an Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) rate limit exception even when the ARP traffic on the port is not exceeding the configured limit. This could happen when the burst interval setting is 1 second, the default.
The workaround is to set the burst interval to more than 1 second. We recommend setting the burst interval to 3 seconds even if you are not experiencing this problem.(CSCse06827))
Cisco X2 Transceiver Modules and SFP Modules
These are the Cisco X2 transceiver module and SFP module limitations:
•Cisco X2-10GB-CX4 transceiver modules with a version identification number lower than V03 might be difficult to insert because of a dimensional tolerance discrepancy. The workaround is to use modules with a version identification number of V03 or later. (CSCsg28558)
•When switches are installed closely together and the uplink ports of adjacent switches are in use, you might have problems accessing the SFP module bale-clasp latch to remove the SFP module or the SFP cable (Ethernet or fiber). Use one of these workarounds:
–Allow space between the switches when installing them.
–Use long, small screwdriver to access the latch then remove the SFP module and cable. (CSCsd57938)
•When a Cisco X2-10GB-CX4 transceiver module is in the X2 transceiver module port and you enter the show controllers ethernet-controller tengigabitethernet privileged EXEC command, the command displays some fields as unspecified. This is the expected behavior based IEEE 802.3ae. (CSCsd47344)
Configuration
•When a switch port configuration is set at 10 Mb/s half duplex, sometimes the port does not send in one direction until the port traffic is stopped and then restarted. You can detect the condition by using the show controller ethernet-controller or the show interfaces privileged EXEC commands.
The workaround is to stop the traffic in the direction in which it is not being forwarded, and then restart it after 2 seconds. You can also use the shutdown interface configuration command followed by the no shutdown command on the interface. (CSCsh04301)
•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)
•When the configuration file is removed from the switch and the switch is rebooted, port status for VLAN 1 and the management port (Fast Ethernet 0) is sometimes reported as
up
and sometimes asdown
, resulting in conflicts. This status depends on when you respond to the reboot query:
Would you like to enter the initial configuration dialog?
–After a reboot if you wait until the Line Protocol status of VLAN 1 appears on the console before responding, VLAN 1 line status is always shown as
down
. This is the correct state.–The problem (VLAN 1 reporting
up
) occurs if you respond to the query before VLAN 1 line status appears on the console.The workaround is to wait for approximately 1 minute after rebooting and until the VLAN 1 interface line status appears on the console before you respond to the query. (CSCsl02680)
Multicasting
•When you configure the ip igmp max-groups number and ip igmp max-groups action replace interface configuration commands and the number of reports exceed the configured max-groups value, the number of groups might temporarily exceed the configured max-groups value. No workaround is necessary because the problem corrects itself when the rate or number of IGMP reports are reduced. (CSCse27757)
•When you configure the IGMP snooping throttle limit by using the ip igmp max-groups number interface configuration on a port-channel interface, the groups learned on the port-channel might exceed the configured throttle limit number, when all of these conditions are true:
–The port-channel is configured with member ports across different switches in the stack.
–When one of the member switches reloads.
–The member switch that is reloading has a high rate of IP IGMP joins arriving on the port-channel member port.
The workaround is to disable the IGMP snooping throttle limit by using the no ip igmp max-groups number interface configuration command and then to reconfigure the same limit again. (CSCse39909)
QoS
•When QoS is enabled and the egress port receives pause frames at the line rate, the port cannot send packets.
There is no workaround. (CSCeh18677)
•Egress shaped round robin (SRR) sharing weights do not work properly with system jumbo MTU frames.
There is no workaround. (CSCsc63334)
•In a hierarchical policy map, if the VLAN-level policy map is attached to a VLAN interface and the name of the interface-level policy map is the same as that for another VLAN-level policy map, the switch rejects the configuration, and the VLAN-level policy map is removed from the interface.
The workaround is to use a different name for the interface-level policy map. (CSCsd84001)
•If the ingress queue has low buffer settings and the switch sends multiple data streams of system jumbo MTU frames at the same time at the line rate, the frames are dropped at the ingress.
There is no workaround. (CSCsd72001)
•When you use the srr-queue bandwidth limit interface configuration command to limit port bandwidth, packets that are less than 256 bytes can cause inaccurate port bandwidth readings. The accuracy is improved when the packet size is greater than 512 bytes. There is no workaround. (CSCsg79627)
SPAN and RSPAN
This is the SPAN and Remote SPAN (RSPAN) limitation.
•When egress SPAN is running on a 10-Gigabit Ethernet port, only about 12 percent of the egress traffic is monitored.
There is no workaround. This is a hardware limitation. (CSCei10129)
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 launch.
The workaround is to click Yes when you are prompted to accept the certificate. (CSCef45718)
Important Notes
These sections describe the important notes related to this software release for the Catalyst 2350 switches:
•"Device Manager Notes" section
Cisco IOS Notes
•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.
Device Manager Notes
•You cannot create and manage switch clusters through the device manager. To create and manage switch clusters, use the CLI o r Cisco Network Assistant.
•We recommend this browser setting to speed up the time needed to 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 launch the device manager.
Open Caveats
•CSCsy85676
When you configure an ACL and enter the access-group interface configuration command to apply it to an interface for web authentication, the output from the show epm session ip-address or show ip access_list interface interface-id privileged EXEC command does not show any web authentication filter ID.
There is no workaround.
•CSCsz18634
On a switch running Cisco IOS release 12.2(46)SE, the output of the show interfaces privileged EXEC command shows 0 packets for port channel input and output rates.
The workaround is to reload the switch by entering the reload privileged EXEC command.
•CSCtc02635
On switches running Cisco IOS release 12.2(50)SE3 running MAC authentication bypass with multidomain authentication (MDA, IP phones connected to a port might not be able to regain network connectivity in the VOICE domain if the session times out and all RADIUS servers are unreachable.
There is no workaround.
Resolved Caveats
This release resolves these previously open caveats:
•CSCsx78068
If you enable 802.1Q native VLAN tagging by entering the vlan dot1q tag native global configuration command and then change the native VLAN ID on an ingress trunk port by entering the switchport trunk native vlan vlan-id interface command, untagged traffic is forwarded instead of being dropped.
The workaround is to use one of these methods:
–Enter a shutdown followed by a no shutdown interface configuration command on the trunk port.
–Disable and then reenable native VLAN tagging by entering the no vlan dot1q tag native global configuration command followed by the vlan dot1q tag native command.
•CSCsy90265
If you repeatedly enter the show tech-support privileged EXEC command, the switch might leak memory and, in some cases, shut down.
The workaround is to reload the switch to clear the memory after repeated use of the show tech-support command.
•CSCta78502
When you have configured a login banner by entering the banner login c message c global configuration command and the switch reloads, the output of banner is missing a carriage return, making the format incorrect.
There is no workaround.
•CSCtb97439
When remote neighbors change, the LLDP MIB does not properly update the remote neighbors.
The workaround is to clear the LLDP table by entering the clear lldp table privileged EXEC command.
