Upgrading the Switch Software
Before downloading software, read this section for important information:
•Finding the Software Version and Feature Set
•Recovering from a Software Failure
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. 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. To upgrade the switch through the command-line interface (CLI), use the tar file and the archive download-sw privileged EXEC command.
Table 2 lists the filenames for this software release.
Note The ME 3400 metro base image is not supported on the Cisco ME 3400E switch.
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:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/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.
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
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.
Note For downloading software, we recommend that you connect to the TFTP server through a network node interface (NNI). If you want to connect to the server through a user network interface (UNI), see the "Troubleshooting" chapter of the software configuration guide for methods for enabling ping capability on UNIs. See the "New Software Features" section for a definition of NNIs and UNIs.
To download software, follow these steps:
Step 1 Use Table 2 to identify the file that you want to download.
Step 2 Download the software image file. If you have a SmartNet support contract, log in to cisco.com and go to this URL, and log in to download the appropriate files:
http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/Software/Iosplanner/Planner-tool/iosplanner.cgi
Click on "Launch the IOS Upgrade Planner" and search for the ME3400 platform to select the appropriate files:
•Select the software release and image you want to download.
•You might need to obtain authorization and to download the cryptographic software files
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, refer to 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
Note By default, ping is supported on network node interfaces (NNIs), but you cannot ping from a user network interface (UNI) because the control-plane security feature drops ICMP response packets received on UNIs. See the "Troubleshooting" chapter of the software configuration guide for methods for pinging from the switch to a host connected to a UNI.
For more information about assigning an IP address and default gateway to the switch, refer to 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 /overwritetftp://198.30.20.19/image-name.tarYou can also download the image file from the TFTP server to the switch and keep the current image by using the /leave-old-sw option instead of the /overwrite option.
Recovering from a Software Failure
For 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 these methods:
•Using the CLI-based setup program, as described in the switch hardware installation guide.
•Using the DHCP-based autoconfiguration, as described in the switch software configuration guide.
•Manually assigning an IP address, as described in the switch software configuration guide.
New Features
New Hardware Features
For a list of all supported hardware, see the "Hardware Supported" section.
New Software Features
•Support for the IEEE 802.1ad standard to provide VLAN scalability in provider networks, giving provider bridges the same functionality as Layer 2 protocol tunneling (L2PT) and QinQ bridges. See the "Configuring IEEE 802.1ad" section and "Updates to the ME 3400E Command Reference - Release 12.2(54)SE" section. (ME 3400E only)
•CFM support on a customer VLAN (C-VLAN), which allows a customer to provision maintenance intermediate points (MIPs) and Up maintenance endpoints (MEPs) on a C-VLAN component to provide a customer with visibility to network traffic on the C-VLAN. See the "Configuring CFM on C-VLAN (Inner VLAN)" section.
•Support for the IEEE CFM (IEEE 802.1ap) MIB, which can be used as a tool to trace paths, to verify and to manage connectivity, and to detect faults in a network. See the ""Supported MIBs" Appendix" section.
•There is no limit to the number of times that you can enter the rep block port id port-id vlan vlan-list interface configuration command. You can block an unlimited number, range, or sequence of VLANs. (CSCta48811)
•For the product identifier (PID) and version identifier (VID) of small form-factor pluggable (SFP) modules, the output of the show inventory user EXEC command displays either the correct information or Unspecified for the PID and nothing for the VID if the SFP does not have PID and VID information. (CSCsu60206)
•There is no longer a restriction to the number of user network interfaces (UNIs) and enhanced network interfaces (ENIs) that you can add to a community VLAN or private VLAN. (CSCtc45248)
Minimum Cisco IOS Release for Major Features
Table 3 lists the minimum software release (after the first release) required to support the features of the Cisco ME 3400E and ME 3400 switch. Features not listed are supported in all releases.
Note The first release for the Cisco ME3400E switch was 12.2(44)EY and it included all ME 3400 features through release 12.2(44)SE.
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.
•Bidirectional Forwarding Detection
•Connectivity Fault Management (CFM)
•IP
•IP Service Level Agreements (SLAs)
•REP
•QoS
•VLAN
Bidirectional Forwarding Detection
•The BFD session with the neighbor flaps when there is close to 100 percent bidirectional line- rate traffic sent through the physical links connecting the neighbors. This happens only on the sessions with Layer 3 BFD neighboring switches connected through a Layer 2 intermediate switch.
The workaround is to make sure that there is no 100 percent bidirectional unknown traffic flowing through the intermediate Layer 2 switch in the same links that connect Layer 3 switches. An alternate workaround is to always directly the Layer 3 switches when BFD is running. (CSCsu94835)
•If you create a BFD session between two switches and then create an ACL that includes the permit ip any any log-input access-list configuration command, when you attach the ACL to one of the connecting interfaces, the BFD session goes down. If you remove the ACL from the interface, BFD comes back up.
The workaround is to not use the permit ACL entry with the log option on interfaces participating in BFD. (CSCtf31731)
Connectivity Fault Management (CFM)
•On a switch running CFM, continuity check messages (CCMs) received on a MEP port that are a lower level than the configured MEP level should be discarded and an error message generated, regardless of whether or not the CCM has a valid CFM multicast destination address. On the ME 3400 switch, CFM C-VLAN CCMs with non-CFM multicast addresses are forwarded without CFM processing and no error messages are sent.
There is no workaround. (CSCte39713)
•When the CFM start delay timer is configured to a small value, the Crosscheck-Up field in the output of the show ethernet cfm domain privileged EXEC command and the Mep-Up field in the output of the show ethernet cfm maintenance-points remote crosscheck privileged EXEC command might appear as No even if the CCM is learned in the remote database.
This is expected behavior. The workaround is to use the ethernet cfm mep crosscheck start-delay command to set the delay-start timer value larger than the continuity-check interval. (CSCtf30542)`
Configuration
•The far-end fault optional facility is not supported on the GLC-GE-100FX SFP module.
The workaround is to configure aggressive UDLD. (CSCsh70244).
•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)
•The DHCP snooping binding database is not written to flash memory or a remote file in any of these situations:
–When the Network Time Protocol (NTP) is configured, but the NTP clock is not synchronized. You can check the clock status by entering the show NTP status privileged EXEC command and verifying that the network connection to the NTP server and the peer work correctly.
–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; these are the designed behaviors. (CSCed50819)
•When dynamic ARP inspection is enabled on a switch, ARP and RARP packets greater than 2016 bytes are dropped by the switch or switch stack. This is a hardware limitation.
However, when dynamic ARP inspection is not enabled and a jumbo MTU is configured, ARP and RARP packets are correctly bridged in hardware. (CSCed79734)
•Dynamic ARP inspection log entries might be lost after a switch failure. Any log entries that are still in the log buffer (have not been output as a system message) on a switch that fails are lost.
When you enter the show ip arp inspection log privileged EXEC command, the log entries from all switches in the stack are moved to the switch on which you entered the command.
There is no workaround. (CSCed95822)
•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)
EtherChannel
•The switch might display tracebacks similar to this example when an EtherChannel interface port-channel type changes from Layer 2 to Layer 3 or the reverse:
15:50:11: %COMMON_FIB-4-FIBNULLHWIDB: Missing hwidb for fibhwidb Port-channel1 (ifindex 1632) -Traceback= A585C B881B8 B891CC 2F4F70 5550E8 564EAC 851338 84AF0C 4CEB50 859DF4 A7BF28 A98260 882658 879A58
There is no workaround. (CSCsh12472)
IP
•The switch does not create an adjacent table entry when the ARP timeout value is 15 seconds and the ARP request times out. The workaround is to not set an ARP timeout value lower than 120 seconds. (CSCea21674)
IP Service Level Agreements (SLAs)
•When the IP SLAs configured reaction type (configured by entering the ip sla reaction-configuration global configuration command) is round-trip time (RTT), an RTT event causes duplicate SNMP traps.
There is no workaround.
MAC Addressing
When a MAC address is configured for filtering on the internal VLAN of a routed port, incoming packets from the MAC address to the routed port are not dropped. (CSCeb67937)
Multicasting
•The switch does not support tunnel interfaces, including DVMRP and PIM tunneling.
•Nonreverse-path forwarded (RPF) IP multicast traffic to a group that is bridged in a VLAN is leaked onto a trunk port in the VLAN even if the port is not a member of the group in the VLAN, but it is a member of the group in another VLAN. Because unnecessary traffic is sent on the trunk port, it reduces the bandwidth of the port. There is no workaround for this problem because non-RPF traffic is continuous in certain topologies. As long as the trunk port is a member of the group in at least one VLAN, this problem occurs for the non-RPF traffic. (CSCdu25219)
•If the number of multicast routes and Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) groups are more than the maximum number specified by the show sdm prefer global configuration command, the traffic received on unknown groups is flooded in the received VLAN even though the show ip igmp snooping multicast-table privileged EXEC command output shows otherwise. The workaround is to reduce the number of multicast routes and IGMP snooping groups to less than the maximum supported value. (CSCdy09008)
•IGMP filtering is applied to packets that are forwarded through hardware. It is not applied to packets that are forwarded through software. Hence, with multicast routing enabled, the first few packets are sent from a port even when IGMP filtering is set to deny those groups on that port. There is no workaround. (CSCdy82818)
•When you use the ip access-group interface configuration command with a router access control list (ACL) to deny access to a group in a VLAN, multicast data to the group that is received in the VLAN is always flooded in the VLAN, regardless of IGMP group membership in the VLAN. This provides reachability to directly connected clients, if any, in the VLAN. The workaround is to not apply a router ACL set to deny access to a VLAN interface. Apply the security through other means; for example, apply VLAN maps to the VLAN instead of using a router ACL for the group. (CSCdz86110)
•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)
•Incomplete multicast traffic can be seen under either of these conditions:
–You disable IP multicast routing or re-enable it globally on an interface.
–A switch mroute table temporarily runs out of resources and recovers later.
The workaround is to enter the clear ip mroute privileged EXEC command on the interface. (CSCef42436)
REP
•Although you can configure a REP segment without configuring REP edge ports, we recommend that you configure REP edge ports whenever possible because edge ports enable these functions:
–selecting the preferred alternate port
–configuring VLAN load balancing
–configuring topology change notifications (TCNs) toward STP, other REP segments, or an interface
–initiating the topology collection process
–preemption mechanisms
You cannot enable these functions on REP segments without edge ports.
•On a switch running both Resilient Ethernet Protocol (REP) and Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD), when the REP link status layer (LSL) age-out value is less than 1000 milliseconds (1 second), the REP link flaps if the BFD interface is shut down and then brought back up.
The workaround is to use the rep lsl-age-out timer interface configuration command to configure the REP LSL age timer for more than 1 second. (CSCsz40613)
Routing
•The switch does not support tunnel interfaces for routed traffic.
•A route map that has an ACL with a Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) clause cannot be applied to a Layer 3 interface. The switch rejects this configuration and displays a message that the route map is unsupported. There is no workaround. (CSCea52915)
•A spanning-tree loop might occur if all of these conditions are true:
–Port security is enabled with the violation mode set to protected.
–The maximum number of secure addresses is less than the number of switches connected to the port.
–There is a physical loop in the network through a switch whose MAC address has not been secured, and its BPDUs cause a secure violation.
The workaround is to change any one of the listed conditions. (CSCed53633)
QoS
•When you use the bandwidth policy-map class command to configure more than one class in a policy map for Class-based Weighted Fair Queuing (CBWFQ), and the committed information rate (CIR) bandwidth for any of the classes is less than 2 percent of the interface rate, the CBWFQ classes in the policy may not receive the configured CIR bandwidths.
There is no workaround, but it is unlikely that a CBWFQ class would be configured with such a low CIR bandwidth. (CSCsb98219)
•When several per-port, per-VLAN parent policies are attached to the input of one or more interfaces and a child policy of these parent policies is modified, the parent policies are detached from the interfaces and reattached during the process. Because the modified policy is large, the TCAM entries are being used up, and the attached policies should be removed. However, some of the parent policies are not removed from the interface, and the TCAM entries are cleared. If you save the configuration and reload the switch, the policies are detached, but the TCAM is full, and you cannot attach other policies.
This error message appears:
QOSMGR-4-QOS_TCAM_RESOURCE_EXCEED_MAX: Exceeded a maximum of QoS TCAM resources
The workaround is to manually detach the policy maps from all the interfaces by entering the no service-policy input policy-map-name interface configuration command on each interface. (CSCsk58435)
•When CPU protection is disabled, you can configure 64 policers per port on most switches. However, on Cisco ME 3400EG-12CS and Cisco ME 3400G-12CS switches, due to hardware limitations, you can attach 64 per-port, per-VLAN policers to a maximum of 6 ports. If you attempt to attach more than 6 per-port, per-VLAN 64-policer policy maps, the attachment fails.
There is no workaround. (CSCsv21416)
SPAN and RSPAN
•The egress SPAN data rate might degrade when multicast routing is enabled. The amount of degradation depends on the processor loading. Typically, the switch can egress SPAN at up to 40,000 packets per second (64-byte packets). As long as the total traffic being monitored is below this limit, there is no degradation. However, if the traffic being monitored exceeds the limit, only a portion of the source stream is spanned. When this occurs, the following console message appears:
Decreased egress SPAN rate
. In all cases, normal traffic is not affected; the degradation limits only how much of the original source stream can be egress spanned. If multicast routing is disabled, egress SPAN is not degraded.There is no workaround. If possible, disable multicast routing. If possible, use ingress SPAN to observe the same traffic. (CSCeb01216)
•Some IGMP report and query packets with IP options might not be ingress-spanned. Packets that are susceptible to this problem are IGMP packets containing 4 bytes of IP options (IP header length of 24). An example of such packets would be IGMP reports and queries having the router alert IP option. Ingress-spanning of such packets is not accurate and can vary with the traffic rate. Typically, very few or none of these packets are spanned. There is no workaround. (CSCeb23352)
•When system jumbo MTU size is configured on a switch and the egress ports can support jumbo frames, the egress SPAN jumbo frames are not forwarded to the SPAN destination ports.
There is no workaround. (CSCsj21718)
•Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) and Port Aggregation Protocol (PAgP) packets received by network node interfaces (NNIs) 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
•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 13,000, the switch can stop.
The workaround is to not configure more than the recommended number of VLANs and trunks. (CSCeb31087)
•A CPUHOG message sometimes appears when you configure a private VLAN. Enable port security on one or more of the ports affected by the private VLAN configuration.
There is no workaround. (CSCed71422)
Important Notes
•When you upgrade the switch software to Cisco IOS release 12.2(50)SE or higher and autonegotiation is enabled on a Gigabit SFP fiber switch port (the default), but disabled on the link partner port, the switch port interface can show a state of down/down while the link partner shows up/up. This is expected behavior.
The workaround is to either enable autonegotiation on the link partner port or enter the speed nonegotiate interface command on the SFP port.
Open Caveats
•CSCtf77937 (Cisco ME 3400E only)
When an EtherChannel is configured for 802.1ad and a channel member that is up is removed from the EtherChannel, the 802.1ad configuration is removed. However, if the port channel is shut down and then removed from the EtherChannel, the 802.1ad configuration is not removed.
The workaround is to enter the no shutdown interface configuration command on the port channel before removing it from the EtherChannel.
•CSCtf27594
When Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) is enabled on an interface of a switch that is running Cisco IOS Release12.2(50)SE or later, Release 12.2(52)SE or later, or Release 12.2(54)SE, CPU spikes can occur once or twice per hour.
There is no workaround.
•CSCtf71229 (Cisco ME 3400E only)
On a Catalyst ME 3400E switch, the Gigabit Ethernet interface of an SFP module on which autonegotiation is disabled unexpectedly operates in half-duplex mode and then enters the suspended state when one of these conditions occur:
–you restart a switch that is running Cisco IOS Release 12.2(50)SE3 or later, Release 12.2(53)SE or later, or Release 12.2(54)SE.
–you reinsert the optical cable into the SFP module.
–you enter the shutdown interface configuration command followed by the no shutdown interface configuration command on the EtherChannel interface to which the Gigabit Ethernet interface belongs.
The workaround is to enter the duplex auto and speed auto interface configuration commands on the Gigabit Ethernet interface.
Resolved Caveats
•CSCsk00594
Although visible in the command-line help, the conform-action color class-map police configuration command is not supported. Entering the command has no affect.
There is no workaround.
•CSCsl14567
When the status of a Resilient Ethernet Protocol (REP) primary edge port changes, for example, because you enter the no shutdown interface configuration command, the switch sends duplicate SNMP messages for the crepPortRoleChange trap.
There is no workaround.
•CSCsx97605
The CISCO-RTTMON-MIB is not correctly implemented.
•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.
•CSCtb10158
A switch can fail when an SNMP process attempts to configure 802.1x authentication when it is already configured.
There is no workaround.
•CSCtc43231
A switch does not receive SNMP trap and inform messages from the correct interface after you enter the snmp-server trap-source loopback0 and snmp-server source-interface informs loopback0 global configuration commands.
There is no workaround.
•CSCtc59162
Modifying a prefix list that is configured as an inbound or outbound distribute-list causes the EIGRP peer to resynchronize.
There is no workaround
•CSCtd29049
A switch with at least one configured trunk port might fail when you use the vlan vlan-id global configuration command to configure more than 950 VLANs.
There is no workaround.
•CSCte52821
When you enter the no ip ftp passive global configuration command to allow all types of FTP connections on a switch running Cisco IOS Release 12.2(52)SE, FTP sessions could disable Telnet or console connections. You can no longer use the vty.
The workaround is to restart the switch. To prevent FTP sessions from disabling Telnet or console connections, enter the ip ftp passive global configuration command.
•CSCte67201
On a switch configured for IP routing and running Cisco IOS Release 12.2(50)SE or later, Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF) can use a large amount of memory. The IP RIB update process uses about 2000 bytes for each prefix that CEF uses.
There is no workaround. You can reduce the memory use by reducing the number of routes that the switch processes.
•CSCte71904
When you use the rep block port id port-id vlan vlan-list interface configuration command on a Resilient Ethernet Protocol (REP) primary edge port to block a VLAN list on one port and then use the same command to block another VLAN list on another port, the original port number and VLAN list are not overwritten. After you have blocked a VLAN list on one port, you cannot block another VLAN list on another port.
There is no workaround.
•CSCte72365
After upgrading from Cisco IOS Release 12.2(52)SE to Cisco IOS Release 12.2(53)SE, EIGRP hello packets are flooded on access ports of other subnets. This also occurs when you send pings to the broadcast address of other subnets.
The workaround is to downgrade the image to Cisco IOS Release 12.2(52)SE.
•CSCtf89939
When you have configured REP segment topology change notices (STCNs) and VLAN load balancing on an interface, entering the shutdown and the no shutdown command on the interface can cause a memory leak or can cause the switch to reload.

The following statement was added: "There is no restriction to the number of UNIs and ENIs that you can add to a community VLAN or private VLAN."

In the section on Aggregate Policing, the statement referring to aggregate policers used to police traffic across VLANs is not correct. Aggregate policing across VLANs in per-port, per-vlan policy-map is not supported.
The example of aggregate policing used to regulate traffic across VLANs is not valid and will be removed.
"Configuring IP Unicast Routing" Chapter
In the section on Configuring BFD, Disabling BFD Echo Mode:
•The document states that you can enter the no bfd echo interface config command to disable echo mode and then configure the control-packet exchange rate by entering the bfd slow-timer global config command. This is incorrect. When BFD echo is disabled, the BFD slow-timer configuration does not apply. In a BFD session running in asynchronous mode, BFD packets are exchanged at a negotiated duration when the session is up and at the BFD slow-timer value when the session is down.
•The section states that disabling BFD echo on an interface disables only the sending of echo packets and the receiver of an echo packet always reflects it back to the sender. This is incorrect. In the Cisco IOS implementation of BFD, when BFD echo is disabled at one end of a link, the other end of the link also does not send echo packets and does not reflect back the echo packet.
ME 3400E "Configuring IEEE 802.1Q and Layer 2 Protocol Tunneling" Chapter - Update
When you configure selective QinQ to tunnel the traffic of two different customers on different S-VLANs, if the native VLAN (VLAN 1) is on one of the selective QinQ interfaces, untagged CDP and STP VLAN 1 packets are leaked to the other customer switches.
The workaround is to use the switchport trunk native vlan vlan-id interface configuration command to configure the native VLAN ID on an interface tunneling S-VLANs. For example, if you configured QinQ by entering the switchport vlan mapping 1-100 dot1q-tunnel 500 command, you should also enter the switchport trunk native vlan 500 command.
ME 3400E "Configuring IEEE 802.1Q and Layer 2 Protocol Tunneling" Chapter - New Section
Configuring IEEE 802.1ad
The Cisco ME 3400E switches support QinQ, a Cisco-proprietary system to enable double-tagging to provide VLAN scalability in the provider network, and Layer 2 protocol tunneling for tunneling customer control packets. IEEE 802.1ad uses standard protocols to solve VLAN scalability in provider networks. As with QinQ, data traffic entering from the customer interface is tagged with a service-provider tag. The customer frame crosses the provider network with two tags: the inner tag is the customer tag (C-tag). and the outer tag is the service-provider tag (S-tag). Control packets appear as data inside the provider network.
See this document for a description of IEEE 802.1ad support on Cisco provider bridges with commands:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/cether/configuration/guide/ce_cfm-ieee_802_1ad.html
The Cisco ME 3400E switches support these features:
•a switchport-based model
•all-to-one bundling
•service multiplexing (complex UNI)
In IEEE 802.1ad, a switchport is configured as either a customer user-network interface (C-UNI), a service-provider UNI (S-UNI), or a network-to-network interface (NNI). Only Layer 2 interfaces can be 802.1ad ports.
•C-UNI—This port can be either an access port or an 802.1Q trunk port. The port uses the customer bridge addresses. To configure a C-UNI port, enter the ethernet dot1ad uni c-port interface configuration command. New keywords added to the switchport vlan mapping interface configuration command allow all-to-one or selective bundling capability for customer VLANs when the interface is configured as an 802.1ad trunk C-UNI port.
•S-UNI—This is an access port that provides the same service to all customer VLANs entering the interface, marking all C-VLANs entering the port with the same S-VLAN. In this mode, the customer's port is configured as a trunk port, and traffic entering the S-UNI is tagged. On S-UNIs, CDP and LLDP are disabled, and STP BPDU filtering and Port Fast are enabled. The port can be configured only as an access port; trunk configuration is not allowed.
–CFM C-VLAN configuration is not allowed on an S-UNI.
–On an ME 3400E switch, you enter the ethernet dot1ad uni s-port interface configuration command on an access port with an access VLAN.
•NNI—Entering the ethernet dot1ad nni interface command on a trunk port creates 802.1ad EtherType (0x88a8) and uses S-bridge addresses for CPU-generated Layer 2 protocol PDUs. Only trunk ports can be NNIs. CFM C-VLAN configuration is not allowed on an NNI.
See the "Updates to the ME 3400E Command Reference - Release 12.2(54)SE" section for new commands or keywords added for this feature.
802.1ad Configuration Guidelines
•An S-UNI must be an access port.
•An NNI must be a trunk port.
•A C-UNI can be either an access port or a trunk port.
•On Cisco ME 3400 E switches, 802.1ad is a port-based feature. There is no global command for enabling 802.1ad. By default, without 802.1ad, all switchports are traditional 802.1Q ports.
•When 802.1ad is enabled, the tunneling of customer data frames is done in software. If the incoming BPDU rate is high, there could be some impact on CPU utilization.
•The switches do not support 802.1ad on EVCs or 802.1ad Layer 3 termination.
•The switches do not support split horizon on 802.1ad interfaces.
•You cannot enable Layer 2 protocol tunneling on 802.1ad interfaces. The features are mutually exclusive.
•ME 3400E switches support a mixed configuration model for 802.1ad that allows traditional Q-in-Q tunnels and 802.1ad tunnels on a bridge at the same time. When configuring a switch in mixed configuration mode, be sure to separate the broadcast domains for traditional 802.1Q tunneling and 802.1ad tunneling. To ensure functionality, do not configure 802.1ad NNI trunk ports and 802.1Q egress trunks with overlapping sets of allowed VLANs.
•By default, customer UDLD packets are tunneled on 802.1ad S-UNI ports and are processed (peered) on C-UNI ports. End-to-end UDLD is not supported on 802.1ad C-UNI ports.
•On ME 3400E switches, 802.1ad port types (C-UNI, S-UNI, NNI) are mutually exclusive with interface port types (NNI, UNI, ENI). You cannot change the port type configuration on an interface configured for 802.1ad.
•When configuring the service provider network for 802.1ad, be sure to configure 802.1ad NNIs on all interconnecting trunk ports. This is required for end-to-end functionality for customer Layer 2 PDUs in the service provider network.
Configuring 802.1ad on EtherChannels
When configuring 802.1ad on port channels, configure the EtherChannel group first, and then configure 802.1ad port configuration on the bundled port (port channel). When configured on the EtherChannel port channel, the 802.1ad configuration is applied to all ports in the port channel.
You cannot add a port to an EtherChannel if the port already has 802.1ad enabled.
Follow this configuration sequence when both CE and PE devices are actively participating in PAgP or LACP EtherChannels.
Configuration Example for 802.1ad End-to-End PAgP EtherChannels between CE Devices
For end-to-end PAgP EtherChannel tunneling between CE devices, you should extend the CE connections through the service provider network as a point-to-point service when the PE device has no EtherChannels in on mode. See the software configuration guide section "Configuring Layer 2 Tunneling for EtherChannels" in the "Configuring IEEE 802.1Q and Layer 2 Protocol Tunneling" chapter. The same procedure applies to 802.1ad tunnels.

Configuring CFM on C-VLAN (Inner VLAN)
The previous implementation of IEEE 802.1ag CFM allows provisioning of maintenance points on the S-VLAN component. It does not allow monitoring or troubleshooting when QinQ is enabled on the provider-edge (PE) device. This release allows customers to provision maintenance intermediate points (MIPs) and Up maintenance endpoints (MEPs) on the C-VLAN (inner VLAN) component of QinQ or 802.1ad ports to provide visibility on the C-VLAN. In addition, some C-VLAN restrictions are removed and C-VLANs are now supported on 802.1q tunnel ports.
For more information about this feature and the supported commands, see:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/cether/configuration/guide/ce_cfm-ieee_cvlan.html
This section describes the functionality supported on the Cisco ME 3400E and ME 3400 switches.
Platform Support
•802.1q-tunnel-port mode: Cisco ME 3400E and ME 3400 switches.
•Selective Q-in-Q (support for 1-to-2 VLAN mapping, but not 1-to-1 VLAN mapping): ME 3400E switches only.
•802.1ad UNI (only C-UNI 1-to-2 mapping): ME 3400E switches only.
Feature Support and Behavior
CFM S-VLAN component support:
•Up MEPs at any level (0 to 7).
Up MEPs use the port access VLAN ID (the outer tag or S-VLAN).
CFM frames sent and received by Up MEPs have a single VLAN tag, and the VLAN identifier is the port access VLAN ID (S-VLAN). Because the 802.1q tunnel interface marks the endpoint of the S-VLAN, the associated S-VLAN component should mark the endpoint of the CFM domain running over the S-VLAN space.
CFM C-VLAN component support:
•Up MEP functions at any level (0 to 7).
Up MEPs use two tags: an outer tag with a VLAN ID that is the port access VLAN (S-VLAN) and an inner tag with a selected C-VLAN that is allowed through the 802.1q tunnel port. CFM frames sent and received by these Up MEPs are always double-tagged.
•MIP functions at any level (0 to 7).
MIPs process CFM frames that are single-tagged when coming from the wire-side and double-tagged when coming from the relay-function side.
•Transparent point functions.
Port MEP frames are always sent untagged, even when the dot1q vlan native tag is enabled.
Supported maintenance points on 802.1q tunnels:
•Up MEP on the C-VLAN component for selective or all-to-one bundling
•Up MEP on the S-VLAN
•Port MEP
•MIP support on C-VLAN component for selective or all-to-one bundling
Note The switch supports only manual configuration of MIPs. It does not support MIP autocreation on C-VLANs.
Platform Restrictions and Limitations
•Maximum supported MEPs per switch at each continuity check message (CCM) interval:
–1600 MEP local and 1600 MEP remote (on C-VLAN and S-VLAN) with 10-second intervals
–250 MEP local and 250 MEP remote (on C-VLAN and S-VLAN) with 1-second intervals
–30 MEP local and 30 MEP remote (on C-VLAN and S-VLAN) with 100-ms intervals
•Maximum supported MIPs at each CCM interval:
–300 MIPs at 10 seconds
–125 MIPs at 1 second
–30 MIPs at 100 ms
•There could be issues detecting cross-connect errors on ME 3400 switches.
•These features are not supported:
–CFM C-component on the native VLAN
–Port-based and VLAN-based MPLS (pseudowire) on the C-VLAN
–Down MEP on S or C-VLAN (provider network port)
–MIP on S-VLAN (provider network port)
–CFM C-VLAN alarm indication signal (AIS)
–CFM C-VLAN locked signal (LCK)
–802.3ah interworking with CFM C-VLAN
–CFM C-VLAN IP SLAs
–CFM C-VLAN E-LMI
–CFM C-VLAN MIP autocreation.
"Supported MIBs" Appendix
The IEEE-compliant CFM MIB (IEEE CFM MIB) provides MIB support for IEEE 802.1ag compliant CFM (IEEE CFM) services. The IEEE CFM MIB can be used as a tool to trace paths, verify and manage connectivity, and detect faults in a network.
For information about the IEEE CFM MIB and the services it supports, see this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/cether/configuration/guide/ce_cfm-ieee_mib.html
"Unsupported Commands" Appendix
These IP unicast routing commands are now supported:
set tag (route-map configuration)
ip prefix-list (global configuration)
ip as-path access-list (global configuration)
These CGMP commands are not supported:
ip cgmp (interface configuration)
clear ip cgmp (privileged EXEC)
Updates to the Software Configuration Guides - Cisco IOS Release 12.2(53)SE
"Configuring QoS" Chapter: New Supported Features
Ingress class-default Support in Per-Port, Per-VLAN Policies (ME 3400 and 3400E)
In past releases in a per-port, per-VLAN hierarchical input policy-map, you could not associate a child policy with the class class-default of the parent policy map. You could only classify on known VLANs received on a port. In Cisco IOS Release 12.2(53)SE, you can now enter class class-default in the parent policy map of a per-port, per-VLAN hierarchical input policy map to classify all VLANs not identified by specified parent VLAN classes. You can then associate a child-policy to this parent class class-default by using the service-policy child-policy-map name policy-map class configuration command to specify child classes and actions to apply to this traffic.
In this sample configuration, the child policy map child-policy-1 is associated with the class customer1-vlan and child policy-2 is associated with all other traffic.
Switch(config)# policy-map uni-parent
Switch(config-pmap)# class customer1-vlan
Switch(config-pmap-c)# service-policy child-policy-1
Switch(config-pmap-c)# exit
Switch(config-pmap)# class class-default
Switch(config-pmap-c)# service-policy child-policy-2
Switch(config-pmap-c)# exit
These same limitations from past releases about combinations of child-policies with a particular VLAN-ID in per-port, per-VLAN policies across the switch also apply to the class-default in per-port, per-VLAN policies.
•You cannot combine Layer 2 child policies classifying on S-COS, C-COS, or Layer 2 (MAC) ACLs and Layer 3 child policies classifying on DSCP, IP precedence or Layer 3 (IP) ACLs.
•You cannot combine a class default only child policy and a Layer 3 child policy classifying on DSCP, IP precedence, or Layer 3 (IP) ACLs.
Simultaneous Multifield and COS, IP DSCP, and IP Precedence QoS Classification (ME 3400 and 3400E)
In past releases, multifield classification using Layer-3 IP ACLs and DSCP classification simultaneously for every packet was not fully supported. You could configure either Layer-3 IP ACL classification or DSCP classification for every packet. Also multifield classification using Layer-2 MAC ACLs and COS classification simultaneously for every packet was not fully supported. You could configure either Layer-2 MAC-ACL classification or COS classification for every packet.
In Cisco IOS Release 12.2(53)SE, you can simultaneously configure multifield classification with Layer-3 IP ACLs and DSCP classification for every packet by using the IP access group to identify the required DSCP value to be classified along with other IP-header fields. You can also simultaneously configure multifield classification with Layer-2 MAC ACLs and COS classification for every packet by using the MAC access group to identify the COS value to be classified along with other MAC-header fields.
Ingress QoS Classification Scalability Enhancements (ME 3400 and 3400E)
In previous releases, ME 3400 and ME 3400E 24TS and 2CS models supported ingress QoS classification for 254 unique VLAN IDs on the switch. In Cisco IOS Release 12.2(53)SE, you can configure ingress QoS classification for 256 or more VLAN IDs (255 unique VLAN IDs plus the class-default, which can classify on all remaining VLAN-IDs).
In previous releases, ME 3400 and ME 3400E 12CS models supported ingress QoS classification for 254 unique VLAN IDs. In Cisco IOS Release 12.2(53)SE, you can configure ingress QoS classification for 1024 or more VLAN-IDs on the switch (255 unique VLAN IDs plus class default, which can classify on all the rest of the VLAN-IDs, on each set of four ports).
In Cisco IOS Release 12.2(53)SE, on ME 3400E switches, you can also classify on the inner VLAN-ID of QinQ packets on QinQ ports. There is no limit on any switch models to the number of inner VLAN IDs that can be classified in ingress QoS policies.

New Section for the "Configuring IEEE 802.1x Port-Based Authentication" Chapter
Common Session ID
Authentication manager uses a single session ID (referred to as a common session ID) for a client no matter which authentication method is used. This ID is used for all reporting purposes, such as the show commands and MIBs. The session ID appears with all per-session syslog messages.
The session ID includes:
•The IP address of the Network Access Device (NAD)
•A monotonically increasing unique 32 bit integer
•The session start time stamp (a 32 bit integer)

Update to the "Configuring MSTP" Chapter
This guideline was added to the "MSTP Configuration Guidelines" section of the "Configuring MSTP" chapter:
•When the switch is in MST mode, it uses the long path-cost calculation method (32 bits) to compute the path cost values. With the long path-cost calculation method, these path cost values are supported:
Updates to the ME 3400E Command Reference - Release 12.2(54)SE
These platform-specific commands were added or changed for this release:
switchport vlan mapping
To configure VLAN mapping on a trunk port, use the switchport vlan mapping interface configuration command with the dot1q tunnel keywords. You can configure one-to-one VLAN mapping, 802.1Q tunneling (QinQ) mapping, or selective QinQ mapping. To configure all-to-one or selective VLAN mapping on an 802.1ad C-UNI trunk port, use the command with the dot1ad-bundle keyword. To disable the configuration, use the no form of the command.

Command History
Release Modification12.2(44)EY
This command was introduced.
12.2(54)SE
The dot1ad-bundle outer vlan id keywords were added.
Usage Guidelines
Before configuring VLAN mapping on an interface, enter the switchport mode trunk interface configuration command to configure the interface as a trunk port.
You configure VLAN mapping on ports connected to the customer network. which are typically user network interfaces (UNIs). However, you can also configure VLAN mapping on an network node interfaces (NNIs) or on enhanced network interfaces (ENIs).
For 802.1ad, VLAN mapping is permitted only on 802.1ad C-UNI trunk ports. VLAN mapping is not supported on S-UNI and NNI interfaces.
You can configure VLAN mapping on a physical interface or on a port channel of multiple interfaces that have the same configuration.
For 802.1Q VLAN mapping:
•To configure one-to-one VLAN mapping, use the switchport vlan mapping vlan-id translated-id command.
•To configure traditional QinQ (VLAN bundling) on an interface, enter the switchport vlan mapping default dot1q-tunnel outer vlan-id. This is the same as configuring the interface as a tunnel port and mapping all VLANs to the specified S-VLAN ID.
Note To avoid mixing customer traffic, when you configure traditional QinQ on a trunk port, you should use the switchport trunk allowed vlan vlan-id interface configuration command to configure the outer VLAN ID (S-VLAN) as an allowed VLAN on the trunk port.
•To configure selective QinQ on an interface, enter the switchport vlan mapping vlan-id dot1q-tunnel outer vlan-id command.
You can configure one-to-one mapping and selective QinQ on the same interface, but you cannot use the same C-VLAN IDs in both configurations.
For one-to-one mapping and selective QinQ, or for default all-to-one 802.1ad VLAN mapping, you can use the default drop keywords to specify that traffic is dropped unless the specified C-VLAN ID and S-VLAN ID combination is explicitly translated.
The no form of the switchport vlan mapping commands clears the specified mapping configuration on the interface. The no switchport vlan mapping all command clears all mapping configurations on the interface.
On an ME-3400E interface configured for VLAN mapping, mapping to the S-VLAN occurs on traffic entering the switch. Therefore, when you configure other features on an interface configured for VLAN mapping and a VLAN ID is required, use the S-VLAN ID. The exception is when configuring VLAN mapping and Ethernet E-LMI on an interface. Use the C-VLAN in the ethernet lmi ce-vlan map vlan-id service-instance configuration mode command.
You cannot configure encapsulation replicate on a SPAN destination port if the source port is configured as a tunnel port or has a one-to-two mapping configured. Encapsulation replicate is supported with one-to-one VLAN mapping.
For VLAN mapping on 802.1ad C-UNI trunk ports:
•You use the dot1ad-bundle keywords to achieve all-to-one and selective bundling functionality on a C-UNI trunk port. The default mapping is one-to-one on the source VLAN.
•You can configure 802.1ad only on C-UNI trunk ports. This command is not supported on S-UNIs or NNIs.
Examples
This example shows how to use one-to-one mapping to map VLAN IDs 1 and 2 in the customer network to VLANs 1001 and 1002 in the service-provider network and to drop traffic from other VLAN IDs.
Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet0/1Switch(config-if)# switchport vlan mapping 1 1001Switch(config-if)# switchport vlan mapping 2 1002Switch(config-if)# switchport vlan mapping default dropSwitch(config-if)# exitThis example shows how to use traditional QinQ to bundle all traffic on the port to leave the switch with an S-VLAN ID of 10.
Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet0/1Switch(config-if)# switchport vlan mapping default dot1q-tunnel 10Switch(config-if)# exitThis example shows how to configure selective QinQ mapping on the port so that traffic with a C-VLAN ID of 5, 7, or 8 would enter the switch with an S-VLAN ID of 100. The traffic of any other VLAN IDs is dropped.
Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet0/1Switch(config-if)# switchport vlan mapping 5, 7-8 dot1q-tunnel 100Switch(config-if)# switchport vlan mapping default dropSwitch(config-if)# exitThis example shows how to configure default all-to-one 802.1ad VLAN mapping on a C-UNI port:
Switch (config)# interface GigabitEthernet0/2
Switch (config-if)# switchport access vlan 4002
Switch (config-if)# switchport mode trunk
Switch (config-if)# switchport trunk allowed vlan 4002
Switch (config-if)# switchport vlan mapping default dot1ad-bundle 4002
Switch (config-if)# Ethernet dot1ad uni c-port
Switch(config-if)# exitThis example shows how to configure selective 802.1ad VLAN mapping on the port.

rep block port
These usage guidelines were added:
•There is no limit to the number of times that you can enter the rep block port id port-id vlan vlan-list interface configuration command. You can block an unlimited number, range, or sequence of VLANs.
•When you use the rep block port id port-id vlan vlan-list interface configuration command on a Resilient Ethernet Protocol (REP) primary edge port to block a VLAN list and then use the same command to block another VLAN list on the same port, the second VLAN list does not replace the first VLAN list but is appended to the first VLAN list.
•When you use the rep block port id port-id vlan vlan-list interface configuration command on a REP primary edge port to block a VLAN list on one port and then use the same command to block another VLAN list on another port, the original port number and VLAN list are overwritten.
show inventory
This usage guideline was added:
•For the product identifier (PID) and version identifier (VID) of SFP modules, the output of the show inventory user EXEC command displays either the correct information or displays Unspecified for the PID and nothing for the VID if the SFP module does not have PID and VID information.
Update to the ME 3400 Hardware Installation Guide
Cisco Ethernet Switches are equipped with cooling mechanisms, such as fans and blowers. However, these fans and blowers can draw dust and other particles, causing contaminant buildup inside the chassis, which can result in a system malfunction.
You must install this equipment in an environment as free as possible from dust and foreign conductive material (such as metal flakes from construction activities).
Follow these standard for guidelines for acceptable working environments and acceptable levels of suspended particulate matter:
•Network Equipment Building Systems (NEBS) GR-63-CORE
•National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) Type 1
