Release Notes for the Catalyst 4900M Series Switch and the Catalyst 4948E Ethernet Switch, Cisco IOS Release 15.1(1)SG
Current Release
IOS 15.1(1)SG2—November 1, 2012Previous Release
IOS 15.1(1)SG1 and IOS 15.1(1)SGThese release notes describe the features, modifications, and caveats for Cisco IOS Release 15.1(1)SG on the Catalyst 4900M switch and the Catalyst 4948E Ethernet Switch.
Cisco Catalyst 4900M Series is a premium extension to the widely deployed Catalyst 4948 Series top of rack Ethernet switches for data center server racks. Optimized for ultimate deployment flexibility, the Catalyst 4900M Series can be deployed for 10/100/1000 server access with 1:1 uplink to downlink oversubscription, mix of 10/100/1000 and 10 Gigabit Ethernet servers or all 10 Gigabit Ethernet servers in the same rack. The Catalyst 4900M is a 320Gbps, 250Mpps, 2RU fixed configuration switch with
8 fixed wire speed X2 ports on the base unit and 2 optional half card slots for deployment flexibility and investment protection. Low latency, scalable buffer memory and high availability with 1+1 hot swappable AC or DC power supplies and field replaceable fans optimize the Catalyst 4900M for any size of data center.With Cisco IOS Release 12.2(54)XO, we Cisco introduced the Catalyst® 4948E Ethernet Switch, which is the first Cisco Catalyst E-Series data center switch built from the start to deliver class-leading, full-featured server-access switching. The switch offers forty-eight 10/100/1000-Gbps RJ45 downlink ports and four 1/10 Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports and is designed to simplify data center architecture and operations by offering service provider-grade hardware and software in a one rack unit (1RU) form factor optimized for full-featured top-of-rack (ToR) data center deployments.
The Cisco Catalyst 4948E Ethernet Switch builds on the advanced technology of the Cisco Catalyst 4948 Switches, the most deployed ToR switch in the industry, with more than 10 million ports deployed worldwide. The Cisco Catalyst E-Series doubles the uplink bandwidth and offers true front-to-back airflow with no side or top venting. Stringent airflow management reduces data center operating costs by providing strict hot-aisle and cold-aisle isolation. Exceptional reliability and serviceability are delivered with optional internal AC and DC 1+1 hot-swappable power supplies and a hot-swappable fan tray with redundant fans.

Cisco IOS Software Packaging
The Enterprise Services image supports Cisco Catalyst 4948E Ethernet Switch and Cisco Catalyst 4900M Series software features based on Cisco IOS Software 15.1(1)SG, including enhanced routing. BGP capability is included in the Enterprises Services package.
The IP Base image supports Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) for Routed Access, Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) "limited" Stub Routing, Nonstop Forwarding/Stateful Switchover (NSF/SSO), and RIPv1/v2. The IP Base image does not support enhanced routing features such as BGP, Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS), Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX), AppleTalk, Virtual Routing Forwarding (VRF-lite), GLBP, and policy-based routing (PBR).
The LAN Base image complements the existing IP Base and Enterprise Services images. It is focused on customer access and Layer 2 requirements and therefore many of the IP Base features are not required. The IP upgrade image is available if at a later date you require some of those features. The Cisco Catalyst 4900M Switch Series only supports the IP Base and Enterprise Services images.
Starting with Cisco IOS Release 15.0(2)SG, on Catalyst 4900M and Catalyst 4948E, support for NEAT feature has been extended from IP Base to LAN Base and support for HSRP v2 IPV6 has been extended from Enterprise Services to IP Base.
Starting with Cisco IOS Release (3.3.0SG or 15.1(1)SG), support for IP SLAs and NSF have been extended from Enterprise Services to IP Base.
Note The default image for WS-C4948E is LAN Base.
Cisco IOS Release Strategy
Customers with Catalyst 4948E Ethernet Switch and Catalyst 4900M series switches who need the latest hardware support and software features should migrate to Cisco IOS Release 15.1(1)SG.
The Catalyst 4900M Series Switch have has two maintenance trains: 12.2(53)SGx and 15.0(2)SGx. The Catalyst 4948E has one maintenance train: 15.0(2)SGx. Cisco IOS Release 15.0(2)SGx is the latest maintenance train. Figure 1 displays the two active trains, 12.2(53)SG and 15.0(2)SG.
Note Support for the Catalyst 4900M platform was introduced in 12.2(40)XO. Support for the Catalyst 4948E platform was introduced in 12.2(54)XO.

Minimum and Recommended ROMMON Release
Table 5 lists the minimum and recommended ROMMON releases for Catalyst 4900M switch and Catalyst 4948E Ethernet Switch.
Note ROMMON Release 12.2(44r)SG5 is the minimum required to run Cisco IOS Release 15.0(2)SG and is recommended for other releases.
Limitations and Restrictions
Following limitations and restrictions apply to the Cisco Catalyst 4948E Ethernet Switch and the Catalyst 4900M series switch:
- Starting with Release IOS XE 3.3.0SG and IOS 15.1(1)SG, the seven RP restriction was removed
- The WS-X4920-GB-RJ45 card performs at wire speed until it operates at 99.6% utilization. Beyond this rate, the card will lose some packets.
- Compact Flash is not supported on a Cisco Catalyst 4900M switch running Cisco IOS Release 12.2(40)XO. Attempting to use Compact Flash may corrupt your data.
- IP classful routing is not supported; do not use the no ip classless command; it will have no effect, as only classless routing is supported. The command ip classless is not supported as classless routing is enabled by default.
- A Layer 2 LACP channel cannot be configured with the spanning tree PortFast feature.
- Netbooting using a boot loader image is not supported. See the “Troubleshooting” section for details on alternatives.
- An unsupported default CLI for mobile IP is displayed in the HSRP configuration. Although this CLI will not harm your system, you might want to remove it to avoid confusion.
Workaround: Display the configuration with the show standby command, then remove the CLI. Here is sample output of the show standby GigabitEthernet1/1 command:
- For HSRP “preempt delay” to function consistently, you must use the standby delay minimum command. Be sure to set the delay to more than 1 hello interval, thereby ensuring that a hello is received before HSRP leaves the initiate state.
Use the standby delay reload option if the router is rebooting after reloading the image.
- You can run only .1q-in-.1q packet pass-through with the Catalyst 4948E Ethernet Switch and Catalyst 4900M series switch.
- For PVST, on Catalyst 4948E Ethernet Switch and Catalyst 4948E series switch VLANs, Cisco IOS Release 12.2(t54)SG supports a maximum of 3000 spanning tree port instances. If you want to use more than this number of instances, you should use MST rather than PVST.
- Because the Catalyst 4948E Ethernet Switch and the Catalyst 4900M series switch supports the FAT filesystem, the following restrictions apply:
–
–
For the Catalyst 4948E Ethernet Switch and the Catalyst 4900M series switch, the rename command has been added for bootflash and slot0. For all other supervisor engines, the rename command is supported for nvram devices only.
–
–
–
–
–
–
- The Fast Ethernet port (10/100) on the supervisor module is active in ROMMON mode only.
- If an original packet is dropped due to transmit queue shaping and/or sharing configurations, a SPAN packet copy can still be transmitted on the SPAN port.
- All software releases support a maximum of 32,768 IGMP snooping group entries.
- Use the no ip unreachables command on all interfaces with ACLs configured for performance reasons.
- The threshold for the Dynamic Arp Inspection err-disable function is set to 15 ARP packets per second per interface. You should adjust this threshold depending on the network configuration. The CPU should not receive DHCP packets at a sustained rate greater than 1000 pps.
- If you first configure an IP address or IPv6 address on a Layer 3 port, then change the Layer 3 port to a Layer 2 port with the switchport command, and finally change it back to a Layer 3 port, the original IP/IPv6 address will be lost.
- If a Catalyst 4948E Ethernet Switch or a Catalyst 4900M series 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:
If this message appears, check that there is network connectivity between the switch and the ACS. You should also check that the switch has been properly configured as an AAA client on the ACS.

In such a scenario, the ipv6 MTU value programmed in hardware will be different from the ipv6 interface MTU value. This will happen if there is no room in the hw MTU table to store additional values.
You must free up some space in the table by unconfiguring some unused MTU values and subsequently disable/re-enable ipv6 on the interface or reapply the MTU configuration.
- To stop IPSG with Static Hosts on an interface, use the following commands in interface configuration submode:
To enable IPSG with Static Hosts on a port, issue the following commands:
Caution If you only configure the ip verify source tracking [port-security] interface configuration command on a port without enabling IP device tracking globally or setting an IP device tracking maximum on that interface, IPSG with Static Hosts will reject all the IP traffic from that interface.
Note The issue above also applies to IPSG with Static Hosts on a PVLAN Host port.
- Class-map match statements using match ip prec | dscp match only IPv4 packets whereas matches performed with match prec | dscp match both IPv4 and IPv6 packets.
- IPv6 QoS hardware switching is disabled if the policy-map contains IPv6 ACL and match cos in the same class-map with the ipv6 access-list has any mask range between /81 and /127. It results in forwarding packets to software which efficiently disable the QoS.
- Management port does not support non-VRF aware features.
- When you enter the permit any any ? command you will observe the octal option, which is unsupported in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(52)SG.
- A Span destination of fa1 is not supported.
- The "keepalive" CLI is not supported in interface mode on the switch, although it will appear in the running configuration. This behavior has no impact on functionality.
- TDR is only supported on interfaces Gi1/1 through Gi1/48, at 1000BaseT under open or shorted cable conditions. TDR length resolution is +/- 10 m. If the cable is less than 10 m or if the cable is properly terminated, the TDR result displays "0" m. If the interface speed is not 1000BaseT, an "unsupported" result status displays. TDR results will be unreliable for cables extended with the use of jack panels or patch panels.
- Upstream ports on the Catalyst 4900M and Catalyst 4948E Ethernet Switch support flow control auto negotiation in 1G mode only, and flow control is forced in 10G mode. If the interface is configured to auto-negotiate the flow control, and the interface is operating in 10G mode, the system forces flow control to ON and does not auto-negotiate.
- The following guidelines apply to Fast UDLD:
–
–

–
The outputs of certain commands, such as show ip route and show access-lists, contain non-deterministic text. While the output is easily understood, the output text does not contain strings that are consistently output. A general purpose specification file entry is unable to parse all possible output.
While a general purpose specification file entry may not be possible, a specification file entry might be created that returns the desired text by searching for text that is guaranteed to be in the output. If a string is guaranteed to be in the output, it can be used for parsing.
For example, the output of the show ip access-lists SecWiz_Gi3_17_out_ip command is this:
The first line is easily parsed because access list is guaranteed to be in the output:
The remaining lines all contain the term host. As a result, the specification file may report the desired values by specifying that string. For example, this line
will produce the following for the first and second rules
and the following for the third statement
Request the output of the show running-config command using NETCONF and parse that output for the desired strings. This is useful when the desired lines contain nothing in common. For example, the rules in this access list do not contain a common string and the order (three permits, then a deny, then another permit), prevent the spec file entry from using permit as a search string, as in the following example:
The XML output of show running-config command includes the following, which can then be parsed programmatically, as desired:
<X-Interface> permit 0000.0000.ffef ffff.ffff.0000 0000.00af.bcef ffff.ff00.0000 appletalk</X-Interface>
- Although the Catalyst 4900M series switch still supports legacy 802.1X commands used in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(46)SG and earlier releases (that is, they are accepted on the CLI), they do not display in the CLI help menu.
- Current IOS software cannot support filenames exceeding 64 characters.
- Although you can configure subsecond PIM query intervals on Catalyst 4500 platforms, such an action represents a compromise between convergence (reaction time) and a number of other factors (number of mroutes, base line of CPU utilization, CPU speed, processing overhead per 1 m-route, etc.). You must account for those factors when configuring subsecond PIM timers. We recommend that you set the PIM query interval to a minimum of 2 seconds. By adjusting the available parameters, you can achieve flawless operation; that is, a top number of multicast routes per given convergence time on a specific setup.
- With Cisco IOS Release XE 3.2.1SG, memory configuration is enabled:
This configuration had been removed erroneously in a prior release.
- With Cisco IOS Release 12.2(53)SG3 (and 12.2(54)SG), we changed the default behavior such that your single supervisor, RPR, or fixed configuration switch does not reload automatically. To configure automatic reload, you must enter the diagnostic fpga soft-error recover aggressive command. (CSCth16953)
- Energywise WOL is not “waking up” a PC in hibernate or standby mode.
Workaround: Use the show version command. CSCtr30294
Workaround: Select an alternate destination or source port. CSCty05405
- While configuring an IPv6 access-list, if you specify "hardware statistics" as the first statement in v6 access-list mode (i.e. before issuing any other v6 ACE statement), it will not take effect. Similarly, your "hardware statistics" configuration will be missing from the output of the show running command.
Workaround: During IPv6 access-list configuration, configure at least one IPv6 ACE before the "hardware statistics" statement. CSCuc53234
Caveats
Caveats describe unexpected behavior in Cisco IOS releases. Caveats listed as open in a prior release are carried forward to the next release as either open or resolved.
For the latest information on PSIRTS, refer to the Security Advisories on CCO at the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/products_security_advisory09186a0080b4a315.shtmlOpen Caveats in Cisco IOS Release 15.1(1)SG2
This section lists the open caveats in Cisco IOS Release 15.1(1)SG2:
- If a class-map is configured with exceed-action drop, re-configuring the same class-map with exceed-action transmit causes class-map configurations to conflict for the same class-map.
Workaround: If you plan to change a class-map action, such as exceed-action, you meed to remove the class-map with the no class c1 command under policy-map submode. Then, apply the new class-map with the updated changes. CSCsk70826)
- If burst is not explicitly configured for a single rate policer, the show policy-map command displays an incorrect burst value.
Workaround: Enter the show policy-map interface command. CSCsi71036
- When you enter the show policy-map vlan vlan command, unconditional marking actions that are configured on the VLAN are not shown.
Workaround: None. However, if you enter the show policy-map name, the unconditional marking actions are displayed. CSCsi94144
Workarounds: Disable IGMP snooping on all the relevant VLANs before disabling it globally.
Workaround: Unconfigure any generic QOS policies from the system. The QoS policies with the match any attribute cause IPv6 entries to become active. If the switch is a pure Layer 2 device, remove the generic protocol family attributes and narrow it to the protocol family.
- In Cisco IOS Release 12.2(54)SG, if an etherchannel is a member of a flexlink pair, then static MAC addresses configured on the EtherChannel are not moved to the alternate port when the EtherChannel fails (flexlink failure)
- When a CFM Inward Facing MEP(IFM) is configured on a VLAN that is not allocated on a switch port that is DOWN, the show ethernet cfm maintenance-points local command displays the
IFM CC Status as Inactive. Then, you allocate the VLAN, the CC-status remains Inactive.You only see this symptom if you did not allocate a VLAN before you configure the IFM, then at a later time allocate the same VLAN.
Workaround: Unconfigure, then reconfigure the IFM on the port.
Workarounds: Do one of the following:
–
–
–
- Duplicate serial number error messages are reported on switching One X Convertor with SFP+, SFP+, X2 to another port, the inserted port enters a faulty status.
This problem impacts X2, OneX converters, and SFP+ on the Supervisor Engine 6-E, and linecards.
Workaround: Remove and reinsert the One X Convertor with SFP+, SFP+ alone, or X2 after some perceivable delay. CSCsu43461
- VTP databases do not propagate through promiscuous trunk ports. If only promiscuous trunks are configured, users will not see the VLAN updates on the other switches in the VTP domain.
Workaround: For VTP database propagation, configure ISL/dot1q trunk port. CSCsu43445
- After posture validation succeeds, the following benign traceback messages may appear after you unconfigure the global RADIUS and IP device tracking commands:

Cisco IOS Release 12.2(50)SG
- On a Catalyst 4900M switch, the host's MAC address is not synchronized to the standby supervisor engine after you unconfigure 802.1X on the port and reconnect the host to a IP phone (with CDP port status TLV support) that is connected to the switch.
If the switch were to run a supervisor switchover while in this state, the host's MAC address would not be present in the new active supervisor engine’s MAC address table, causing possible connectivity interruption on the host.
Workaround: Enter the shutdown command, followed by the no shutdown command on the interface. This triggers relearning and synchronizing of the host's MAC to the standby supervisor engine. CSCsw91661
- When multiple streams of CRC errors are encountered on WS-C4900M configured with OAM Configuration of monitoring the frame errored seconds, OAM does not always report the value of errored frame seconds correctly.
To observe this issue, the following CLIs are configured with window size as the period for monitoring the errors and a low threshold equal to the number of CRC errored seconds seen/expected.
Workaround: Configure a lower value of low threshold such that the frame errors are seen divided into the expected number of frame errored seconds. CSCsy37181
- If you simultaneously apply a service-policy to a port in the output direction and a service-policy to a vlan-range under that port in the output direction, the class-map hit counters in the output of the
show policy-map interface command are wrong.The queue transmit counters as well as the policing statistics (if any) are correct. CSCsz20149
- When you configure switchport block multicast on a switch running
Cisco IOS Release 12.2(53)SG1 and later or 12.2(50)SG6 and later, Layer 2 multicast is not blocked.Prior to Cisco IOS Release 12.2(53)SG1, 12.2(50)SG6, the switchport block multicast command would block IP Multicast, Layer 2 multicast, and broadcast traffic (CSCta61825).
- If time is not specified in the link debounce command, the default value depends on the supervisor engine. The default is 10 mS for 4948E, C4900M, Supervisor Engine 6-E, and Supervisor Engine 6L-E. The default is 100 mS for all other supervisor engines.

errdisable recovery interval value (between 30 and 86400 sec).–
- On a peer interface on a Catalyst 4948E Ethernet Switch, if errdisabled mode flap detection is set to a very small number (such as 2 flaps in 10 sec), a 10GE link flap may cause the peer interface to enter the errdisabled state.
Workarounds: The Cisco switch default link-flap detection value is 5 flaps in 10 seconds. Use the default value or larger numbers. CSCtg07677
- Before large PACLs are fully loaded in hardware, you might observe a false completion messages like the following:
Dec 1 18:44:59.926: %C4K_COMMONHWACLMAN-4-HWPROGSUCCESS: Input Security: pacl - now fully loaded in hardware *Dec 1 18:44:59.926: %C4K_COMMONHWACLMAN-4-ALLACLINHW: All configured ACLs now fully loaded in hardware - hardware switching / QoS restored.This issue does not impact functionality.
You must wait for the ACLs to be programmed before performing other TCAM related changes. CSCtd57063
- When you have enabled EPM logging and the client is authenticated via MAB or Webauth, the value of AUTHTYPE is DOT1X in EPM syslog messages irrespective of the authentication method.
Similarly, the show epm sessions command always displays the authentication method as DOT1X.
Workaround: To view the authentication method used for a client, enter the
show authentication sessions command. CSCsx42157
- With CFM enabled globally as well as on an ingress interface, CFM packets received on the interface are not policed with hardware control plane policing.
- If a port channel is created on a Catalyst 4948E Ethernet Switch 1 Gigabit Ethernet SFP upstream interface and one of the interface links goes down, the average convergence time is roughly 3 sec.
This behavior is not observed on 10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ uplink interfaces.
- With a NEAT configuration on an ASW (Catalyst 4500 series switch) connected to an SSW (Catalyst 3750 series switch) serving as a root bridge and with redundant links between ASW and SSW, the following occur:
–
Workaround: Configure the ASW or any other switch upstream as the root-bridge for all the VLANs. CSCtg71030
- When a packet sampling monitor is applied on a Layer 3 port, which is also configured for Layer 3 RACL, you might observe multiple merged ACL path signatures stemming from merging the sampling and security ACL features. This behavior results in multiple (twice) copies of flattened ACE programmed in the TCAM, wasting ACL TCAM space.
This issue only impacts Catalyst 4948E and Catalyst 4948E-F Ethernet Switches. It does not impact functionality.
Workarounds: Do one of the following:
–
–
- When either the RADIUS-server test feature is enabled or RADIUS-server dead-criteria is configured, and either RADIUS-server deadtime is set to 0 or not configured, the RADIUS-server status is not properly relayed to AAA.
Workaround: Configure both dead-criteria and deadtime.
- When two distinct Layer 3 CE-facing interfaces exist, each connected to a CE to split WCCP between the two CEs, and you move a particular WCCP service (like 60 (ftp-native)) from one Layer 3 interface to the other, the target interface fails to completely transfer the service to the new CE from the old CE.
Workaround: Shutdown the CE-facing interface. Once all the mask-value entries point to the target CE, unshut the CE-facing interface. CSCtl09941
- If a large number of VLAN mappings are configured, a member port might fail to join a port channel and no warming is issued.
Workaround: Reduce the number of VLAN mappings. CSCtn56208
- WCCP service is not reacquired when a service group with a multicast group-address is unconfigured, and then reconfigured.
Workaround: Configure ip multicast-routing globally and establish ip pim sparse-dense-mode on the CE-facing interface. CSCtl97692
- If an interface whose IP address is being used as the Router ID is deleted or shuts down and you configure a service group with a multicast group-address, packet redirection to CE stops and packets are forwarded directly to the destination.
Workaround: Unconfigure and reconfigure the service group. CSCtn88087
- When a sampling monitor is configured on a routed port or on a VLAN (an SVI with just one port as a member) and bidir multicast is enabled, a packet sample may be exported even though the original multicast packet was not forwarded by the switch.
This issue only impacts Catalyst 4948E and Catalyst 4948E-F Ethernet Switches.
- If you reboot a switch, the configured value of the interface MTU size for the elements of the port channel interface does not work for IPv6 traffic.
Workaround: After the switch reloads, enter shut and no shut on the port-channel interface.
- Global WCCP service configuration fails to enable (WCCP global config is accepted but nvgen fails) on a newly deployed switch if the switch is not enabled for SVI or a Layer 3 interface.
Workaround: Enable a Layer 3 interface in the running config. CSCsc88636.
- Dynamic ACLs do not function correctly if they have advanced operators, including dscp/ipp/tos, log/log-input, fragments, and TCP flag operators.
Workaround: Remove these operators from any dynamic ACLs. CSCts05302
- A peer policy is not updated after reauthentication if the policy is changed on the AS beforehand. After reauthentication, the original peer policy is retained.
Workaround: Enter shut and no shut on the port. CSCts29515
- When you enable both Cisco TrustSec and RADIUS accounting, a disparity occurs between the RADIUS client (Cisco switch) and the RADIUS/CTS server in how the authenticator field in the header is computed for DOT1X/RADIUS accounting messages.
A Cisco IOS AAA client uses the PAC secret to compute the authenticator; Cisco Secure ACS 5.2 uses the shared secret. This behavior causes a mismatch that results in a rejection of the accounting message, and the client marks the server as unresponsive.
- When more than one Equal Cost Multipath (ECMP) is available on the downstream switch, and Mediatrace is invoked to provide flow statistics, the dynamic policy does not show statistics for a flow.
Mediatrace cannot find the correct inbound interface and applies the dynamic policy on a different interface from the one used for media flow.
- When a switchover is created on the Mediatrace responder, the dynamic access list created for a monitored flow tuple is not deleted. Although the Mediatrace initiator creates another set of dynamic access lists after the switchover, the old ones remain in the configuration.
The impact of stale dynamic access lists is to monitor unwanted traffic.

–
- Configuring an interface as unidirectional with the unidirectional send-only | receive-only command still allows the interface to send (configured as Send-only Unidirection Ethernet mode) or receive (configured as Receive-only Unidirection Ethernet mode) packets in a bidirectional mode.
- When you add a "bfd" suffix to the snmp server host x.x.x.x configuration command, the BFD traps, ciscoBfdSessUp and ciscoBfdSessDown, are not generated.
Workaround: Do not specify a "bfd" suffix with the snmp-server host x.x.x.x configuration command. CSCtx51561
- When you transfer a startup-config to the switch directly without entering write mem, and the startup-config contains the hw-module uplink shared-backplane command, the four ports on a Supervisor Engine 6-E are not activated in subsequent reloads. The second port of each supervisor engine remains inactive.
Workaround: Configure hw-module uplink shared-backplane from the console or vty, and enter write mem. CSCtx43568
- During either a system- or user-initiated reload operation, the following message is observed when the system shuts down:
This message is not observed during a system bootup.
Workaround: None required. This message is information only. CSCtz15738
- The Mediatrace Initiator may report the status "Abort due to route changed" when a MAC move happens on a switch configured as the Mediatrace Responder that is also connected to a video traffic generator.
- With IGMP snooping enabled, multicast traffic received through a tunnel interface is not forwarded out the Outgoing Interface List.
Workaround: Disable IGMP snooping. CSCuc65538
- When a port connected to a CDP speaker goes down, a small memory leak occurs (typically less than 300 bytes).
Workaround: Disable CDP on interfaces that may flap frequently. CSCub85948
Resolved Caveats in Cisco IOS Release 15.1(1)SG2
This section lits the resolved caveats in Cisco Release 15.1(1)SG2:
- After booting a switch with Cisco IOS XE 3.3.0SG or 3.3.1SG with a crypto (k9) image, a linecard may display a status of Auth Fail, and will not be brought online. Non-crypto images are unaffected.
Workaround: Reset the linecard either with the hw-module module m reset command or through a manual OIR. CSCuc64146
Open Caveats in Cisco IOS Release 15.1(1)SG1
This section lists the open caveats in Cisco IOS Release 15.1(1)SG1:
- If a class-map is configured with exceed-action drop, re-configuring the same class-map with exceed-action transmit causes class-map configurations to conflict for the same class-map.
Workaround: If you plan to change a class-map action, such as exceed-action, you meed to remove the class-map with the no class c1 command under policy-map submode. Then, apply the new class-map with the updated changes. CSCsk70826)
- If burst is not explicitly configured for a single rate policer, the show policy-map command displays an incorrect burst value.
Workaround: Enter the show policy-map interface command. CSCsi71036
- When you enter the show policy-map vlan vlan command, unconditional marking actions that are configured on the VLAN are not shown.
Workaround: None. However, if you enter the show policy-map name, the unconditional marking actions are displayed. CSCsi94144
Workarounds: Disable IGMP snooping on all the relevant VLANs before disabling it globally.
Workaround: Unconfigure any generic QOS policies from the system. The QoS policies with the match any attribute cause IPv6 entries to become active. If the switch is a pure Layer 2 device, remove the generic protocol family attributes and narrow it to the protocol family.
- In Cisco IOS Release 12.2(54)SG, if an etherchannel is a member of a flexlink pair, then static MAC addresses configured on the EtherChannel are not moved to the alternate port when the EtherChannel fails (flexlink failure)
- When a CFM Inward Facing MEP(IFM) is configured on a VLAN that is not allocated on a switch port that is DOWN, the show ethernet cfm maintenance-points local command displays the
IFM CC Status as Inactive. Then, you allocate the VLAN, the CC-status remains Inactive.You only see this symptom if you did not allocate a VLAN before you configure the IFM, then at a later time allocate the same VLAN.
Workaround: Unconfigure, then reconfigure the IFM on the port.
Workarounds: Do one of the following:
–
–
–
- Duplicate serial number error messages are reported on switching One X Convertor with SFP+, SFP+, X2 to another port, the inserted port enters a faulty status.
This problem impacts X2, OneX converters, and SFP+ on the Supervisor Engine 6-E, and linecards.
Workaround: Remove and reinsert the One X Convertor with SFP+, SFP+ alone, or X2 after some perceivable delay. CSCsu43461
- VTP databases do not propagate through promiscuous trunk ports. If only promiscuous trunks are configured, users will not see the VLAN updates on the other switches in the VTP domain.
Workaround: For VTP database propagation, configure ISL/dot1q trunk port. CSCsu43445
- After posture validation succeeds, the following benign traceback messages may appear after you unconfigure the global RADIUS and IP device tracking commands:

- Traffic is dropped on a particular tx-queue of an EtherChannel member interfacere configured with a queuing policy. However, it will still appear in an egress span session of the EtherChannel.
The show platform software interface tx-queue command will display an incorrect number of configured queues (compare to EtherChannel members that are not dropping traffic).
Workaround: Enter shut then no shut on the port. CSCua66962
- If either the active or standby supervisor engine is running Cisco IOS 15.1(1)SG, the standby supervisor engine does achieve a standby-cold or standby-hot state; it continues to reload.

- Duplicate serial number error messages are reported on switching One X Convertor with SFP+, SFP+, X2 to another port, the inserted port enters a faulty status.
This problem impacts X2, OneX converters, and SFP+ on the Supervisor Engine 6-E, and linecards.
Workaround: Remove and reinsert the One X Convertor with SFP+, SFP+ alone, or X2 after some perceivable delay. CSCsu43461
- VTP databases do not propagate through promiscuous trunk ports. If only promiscuous trunks are configured, users will not see the VLAN updates on the other switches in the VTP domain.
Workaround: For VTP database propagation, configure ISL/dot1q trunk port. CSCsu43445
- After posture validation succeeds, the following benign traceback messages may appear after you unconfigure the global RADIUS and IP device tracking commands:
%SM-4-BADEVENT: Event 'eouAAAAuthor' is invalid for the current state 'eou_abort': eou_auth 4.1.0.101 Traceback= 101D9A88 10B76BB0 10B76FE0 10B7A114 10B7A340 1066A678 106617F8%SM-4-BADEVENT: Event 'eouAAAAuthor' is invalid for the current state 'eou_abort': eou_auth 4.1.0.102 Traceback= 101D9A88 10B76BB0 10B76FE0 10B7A114 10B7A340 1066A678 106617F8This applies to classic or E-series Catalyst 4500 supervisor engines running
Cisco IOS Release 12.2(50)SG
- On a Catalyst 4900M switch, the host's MAC address is not synchronized to the standby supervisor engine after you unconfigure 802.1X on the port and reconnect the host to a IP phone (with CDP port status TLV support) that is connected to the switch.
If the switch were to run a supervisor switchover while in this state, the host's MAC address would not be present in the new active supervisor engine’s MAC address table, causing possible connectivity interruption on the host.
Workaround: Enter the shutdown command, followed by the no shutdown command on the interface. This triggers relearning and synchronizing of the host's MAC to the standby supervisor engine. CSCsw91661
- When multiple streams of CRC errors are encountered on WS-C4900M configured with OAM Configuration of monitoring the frame errored seconds, OAM does not always report the value of errored frame seconds correctly.
To observe this issue, the following CLIs are configured with window size as the period for monitoring the errors and a low threshold equal to the number of CRC errored seconds seen/expected.
Workaround: Configure a lower value of low threshold such that the frame errors are seen divided into the expected number of frame errored seconds. CSCsy37181
- If you simultaneously apply a service-policy to a port in the output direction and a service-policy to a vlan-range under that port in the output direction, the class-map hit counters in the output of the
show policy-map interface command are wrong.The queue transmit counters as well as the policing statistics (if any) are correct. CSCsz20149
- When you configure switchport block multicast on a switch running
Cisco IOS Release 12.2(53)SG1 and later or 12.2(50)SG6 and later, Layer 2 multicast is not blocked.Prior to Cisco IOS Release 12.2(53)SG1, 12.2(50)SG6, the switchport block multicast command would block IP Multicast, Layer 2 multicast, and broadcast traffic (CSCta61825).
- If time is not specified in the link debounce command, the default value depends on the supervisor engine. The default is 10 mS for 4948E, C4900M, Supervisor Engine 6-E, and Supervisor Engine 6L-E. The default is 100 mS for all other supervisor engines.

–
Note To reduce the likelihood of this event, connect at least two physical interfaces between fast UDLD peer switches. You must configure the interfaces with the same neighbor fast hello interval.
–
–
errdisable recovery interval value (between 30 and 86400 sec).–
- On a peer interface on a Catalyst 4948E Ethernet Switch, if errdisabled mode flap detection is set to a very small number (such as 2 flaps in 10 sec), a 10GE link flap may cause the peer interface to enter the errdisabled state.
Workarounds: The Cisco switch default link-flap detection value is 5 flaps in 10 seconds. Use the default value or larger numbers. CSCtg07677
- Before large PACLs are fully loaded in hardware, you might observe a false completion messages like the following:
Dec 1 18:44:59.926: %C4K_COMMONHWACLMAN-4-HWPROGSUCCESS: Input Security: pacl - now fully loaded in hardware *Dec 1 18:44:59.926: %C4K_COMMONHWACLMAN-4-ALLACLINHW: All configured ACLs now fully loaded in hardware - hardware switching / QoS restored.This issue does not impact functionality.
You must wait for the ACLs to be programmed before performing other TCAM related changes. CSCtd57063
- When you have enabled EPM logging and the client is authenticated via MAB or Webauth, the value of AUTHTYPE is DOT1X in EPM syslog messages irrespective of the authentication method.
Similarly, the show epm sessions command always displays the authentication method as DOT1X.
Workaround: To view the authentication method used for a client, enter the
show authentication sessions command. CSCsx42157
- With CFM enabled globally as well as on an ingress interface, CFM packets received on the interface are not policed with hardware control plane policing.
- If a port channel is created on a Catalyst 4948E Ethernet Switch 1 Gigabit Ethernet SFP upstream interface and one of the interface links goes down, the average convergence time is roughly 3 sec.
This behavior is not observed on 10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP+ uplink interfaces.
- With a NEAT configuration on an ASW (Catalyst 4500 series switch) connected to an SSW (Catalyst 3750 series switch) serving as a root bridge and with redundant links between ASW and SSW, the following occur:
–
Workaround: Configure the ASW or any other switch upstream as the root-bridge for all the VLANs. CSCtg71030
- When a packet sampling monitor is applied on a Layer 3 port, which is also configured for Layer 3 RACL, you might observe multiple merged ACL path signatures stemming from merging the sampling and security ACL features. This behavior results in multiple (twice) copies of flattened ACE programmed in the TCAM, wasting ACL TCAM space.
This issue only impacts Catalyst 4948E and Catalyst 4948E-F Ethernet Switches. It does not impact functionality.
Workarounds: Do one of the following:
–
–
- When either the RADIUS-server test feature is enabled or RADIUS-server dead-criteria is configured, and either RADIUS-server deadtime is set to 0 or not configured, the RADIUS-server status is not properly relayed to AAA.
Workaround: Configure both dead-criteria and deadtime.
- When two distinct Layer 3 CE-facing interfaces exist, each connected to a CE to split WCCP between the two CEs, and you move a particular WCCP service (like 60 (ftp-native)) from one Layer 3 interface to the other, the target interface fails to completely transfer the service to the new CE from the old CE.
Workaround: Shutdown the CE-facing interface. Once all the mask-value entries point to the target CE, unshut the CE-facing interface. CSCtl09941
- If a large number of VLAN mappings are configured, a member port might fail to join a port channel and no warming is issued.
Workaround: Reduce the number of VLAN mappings. CSCtn56208
- WCCP service is not reacquired when a service group with a multicast group-address is unconfigured, and then reconfigured.
Workaround: Configure ip multicast-routing globally and establish ip pim sparse-dense-mode on the CE-facing interface. CSCtl97692
- If an interface whose IP address is being used as the Router ID is deleted or shuts down and you configure a service group with a multicast group-address, packet redirection to CE stops and packets are forwarded directly to the destination.
Workaround: Unconfigure and reconfigure the service group. CSCtn88087
- When a sampling monitor is configured on a routed port or on a VLAN (an SVI with just one port as a member) and bidir multicast is enabled, a packet sample may be exported even though the original multicast packet was not forwarded by the switch.
This issue only impacts Catalyst 4948E and Catalyst 4948E-F Ethernet Switches.
- If you reboot a switch, the configured value of the interface MTU size for the elements of the port channel interface does not work for IPv6 traffic.
Workaround: After the switch reloads, enter shut and no shut on the port-channel interface.
- Global WCCP service configuration fails to enable (WCCP global config is accepted but nvgen fails) on a newly deployed switch if the switch is not enabled for SVI or a Layer 3 interface.
Workaround: Enable a Layer 3 interface in the running config. CSCsc88636.
- Dynamic ACLs do not function correctly if they have advanced operators, including dscp/ipp/tos, log/log-input, fragments, and TCP flag operators.
Workaround: Remove these operators from any dynamic ACLs. CSCts05302
- A peer policy is not updated after reauthentication if the policy is changed on the AS beforehand. After reauthentication, the original peer policy is retained.
Workaround: Enter shut and no shut on the port. CSCts29515
- When you enable both Cisco TrustSec and RADIUS accounting, a disparity occurs between the RADIUS client (Cisco switch) and the RADIUS/CTS server in how the authenticator field in the header is computed for DOT1X/RADIUS accounting messages.
A Cisco IOS AAA client uses the PAC secret to compute the authenticator; Cisco Secure ACS 5.2 uses the shared secret. This behavior causes a mismatch that results in a rejection of the accounting message, and the client marks the server as unresponsive.
- When more than one Equal Cost Multipath (ECMP) is available on the downstream switch, and Mediatrace is invoked to provide flow statistics, the dynamic policy does not show statistics for a flow.
Mediatrace cannot find the correct inbound interface and applies the dynamic policy on a different interface from the one used for media flow.
- When a switchover is created on the Mediatrace responder, the dynamic access list created for a monitored flow tuple is not deleted. Although the Mediatrace initiator creates another set of dynamic access lists after the switchover, the old ones remain in the configuration.
The impact of stale dynamic access lists is to monitor unwanted traffic.
–
–
- Configuring an interface as unidirectional with the unidirectional send-only | receive-only command still allows the interface to send (configured as Send-only Unidirection Ethernet mode) or receive (configured as Receive-only Unidirection Ethernet mode) packets in a bidirectional mode.
- When you add a "bfd" suffix to the snmp server host x.x.x.x configuration command, the BFD traps, ciscoBfdSessUp and ciscoBfdSessDown, are not generated.
Workaround: Do not specify a "bfd" suffix with the snmp-server host x.x.x.x configuration command. CSCtx51561
- When you transfer a startup-config to the switch directly without entering write mem, and the startup-config contains the hw-module uplink shared-backplane command, the four ports on a Supervisor Engine 6-E are not activated in subsequent reloads. The second port of each supervisor engine remains inactive.
Workaround: Configure hw-module uplink shared-backplane from the console or vty, and enter write mem. CSCtx43568
- If a switch enabled with Bidir PIM has a software tunnel interface pointing towards the RP upstream, packet drops are observed.
Workaround: None. Consider using a physical interface pointing towards RP upstream.
- During either a system- or user-initiated reload operation, the following message is observed when the system shuts down:
This message is not observed during a system bootup.
Workaround: None required. This message is information only. CSCtz15738
- The Mediatrace Initiator may report the status "Abort due to route changed" when a MAC move happens on a switch configured as the Mediatrace Responder that is also connected to a video traffic generator.
- If a configuration contains an "ip vrf" or "vrf definition" section, and you type “wr mem” while using an IP Base or LAN Base boot level of IOS-XE, the following message appears.
Workaround: None. The message is information only. CSCtw93140
- After logging “Authorization succeeded for client (Unknown MAC)” , a switch crashes if the following conditions apply:
–
authentication event server dead action authorize...
authentication event server alive action reinitalize
–
–
- Traffic is dropped on a particular tx-queue of an EtherChannel member interfacere configured with a queuing policy. However, it will still appear in an egress span session of the EtherChannel.
The show platform software interface tx-queue command will display an incorrect number of configured queues (compare to EtherChannel members that are not dropping traffic).
Workaround: Enter shut then no shut on the port. CSCua66962
- If either the active or standby supervisor engine is running Cisco IOS 15.1(1)SG, the standby supervisor engine does achieve a standby-cold or standby-hot state; it continues to reload.
Workaround: Downgrade or upgrade the supervisor engine by either temporarily removing the other supervisor engine or relocating the supervisor engine to another chassis. CSCtz44577
- On a switch running Cisco 15.0(2)SG4 or 15.1(1)SG with 4648* or 4748* linecards with PoE, a single port on a linecard fails to link up, usually after flapping its link frequently.
Workaround: Enter shut then no shut on the port. CSCtz94862
- On a switch running Cisco 15.0(2)SG4 or 15.1(1)SG on 4648* or 4748* linecards with PoE, the PoE device will not power up on a single port, but will work on other ports on the same linecard.
–
–
- After booting a switch with Cisco IOS XE 3.3.0SG or 3.3.1SG with a crypto (k9) image, a linecard may display a status of Auth Fail, and will not be brought online. Non-crypto images are unaffected.
Workaround: Reset the linecard either with the hw-module module m reset command or through a manual OIR. CSCuc64146
- With IGMP snooping enabled, multicast traffic received through a tunnel interface is not forwarded out the Outgoing Interface List.
Workaround: Disable IGMP snooping. CSCuc65538
- When a port connected to a CDP speaker goes down, a small memory leak occurs (typically less than 300 bytes).
Workaround: Disable CDP on interfaces that may flap frequently. CSCub85948
Resolved Caveats in Cisco IOS Release 15.1(1)SG
This section lists the resolved caveats in Release 15.1(1)SG:
- If you enter the show spanning-tree vlan command when spanning tree is changed from PVST to Rapid PVST, the ports configured as promiscuous trunks are not listed as part of the spanning tree.
Troubleshooting
These sections provide troubleshooting guidelines for the Catalyst 4900M series switch running IOS supervisor engines:
- Netbooting from the ROMMON
- Troubleshooting at the System Level
- Troubleshooting Modules
- Troubleshooting MIBs
Netbooting from the ROMMON
Netbooting using a boot loader image is not supported. Instead, use one of the following options to boot an image:
1.
Boot from a CompactFlash card by entering the following command:
Note The Catalyst 4948E does not contain a compact flash slot.
The ROMMON TFTP boot is very similar to the BOOTLDR TFTP boot, except that:
–
–
To boot from ROMMON, perform the following tasks while in ROMMON mode:
a.
b.
c.
For example, to set the supervisor engine Ethernet port with an IP address 172.16.1.5 and IP mask 255.255.255.0, enter the following command:
d.
e.
f.
For example, to boot the image name cat4500-ipbase-mz located on the TFTP server 172.16.1.8, enter the following command:
Troubleshooting at the System Level
This section contains troubleshooting guidelines for system-level problems:
Troubleshooting Modules
This section contains troubleshooting guidelines for the Catalyst 4900M series switch:
- Whenever you connect an interface that has duplex set to autonegotiate to an end station or another networking device, ensure that the other device is configured for autonegotiation as well. If the other device is not set to autonegotiate, the port set to autonegotiate will remain in half-duplex mode, which can cause a duplex mismatch resulting in packet loss, late collisions, and line errors on the link.
Troubleshooting MIBs
For general information on MIBs, RMON groups, and traps, refer to the Cisco public MIB directory ( http://www.cisco.com/public/sw-center/netmgmt/cmtk/mibs.shtml ). For information on the specific MIBs supported by the Catalyst 4900M series switches, refer to the Catalyst 4000 MIB Support List located at ftp://ftp.cisco.com/pub/mibs/supportlists/cat4000/cat4000-supportlist.html.
