Finding the Software Version and Feature Set
The Cisco IOS image is stored as a bin file in a directory that is named with the Cisco IOS release. A subdirectory contains the files needed for web management. The image is stored on the system board flash device (flash:).
You can use the show version privileged EXEC command to see the software version that is running on your switch. The second line of the display shows the version.
You can also use the dir filesystem: privileged EXEC command to see the directory names of other software images that you might have stored in flash memory.
Deciding Which Files to Use
The upgrade procedures in these release notes describe how to perform the upgrade by using a combined tar file. This file contains the Cisco IOS image file and the files needed for the embedded device manager. You must use the combined tar file to upgrade the switch through the device manager. To upgrade the switch through the command-line interface (CLI), use the tar file and the archive download-sw privileged EXEC command.
Note
Table 3 lists the filenames for this software release.
Archiving Software Images
Before upgrading your switch software, make sure that you have archived copies of the current Cisco IOS release and the Cisco IOS release to which you are upgrading. You should keep these archived images until you have upgraded all devices in the network to the new Cisco IOS image and until you have verified that the new Cisco IOS image works properly in your network.
Cisco routinely removes old Cisco IOS versions from Cisco.com. See Product Bulletin 2863 for more information:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/iosswrel/ps5187/prod_bulletin0900aecd80281c0e.html
You can copy the bin software image file on the flash memory to the appropriate TFTP directory on a host by using the copy flash: tftp: privileged EXEC command.
Note
You can also configure the switch as a TFTP server to copy files from one switch to another without using an external TFTP server by using the tftp-server global configuration command. For more information about the tftp-server command, see the "Basic File Transfer Services Commands" section of the Cisco IOS Configuration Fundamentals Command Reference, Release 12.2 at this URL:
Upgrading a Switch by Using the Device Manager
You can upgrade switch software by using the device manager. For detailed instructions, click Help.
Note
Upgrading a Switch by Using the CLI
This procedure is for copying the combined tar file to the switch. You copy the file to the switch from a TFTP server and extract the files. You can download an image file and replace or keep the current image.
To download software, follow these steps:
Step 1
Step 2
http://www.cisco.com/kobayashi/sw-center/sw-lan.shtml
Step 3
For more information, see Appendix B in the software configuration guide for this release.
Step 4
Step 5
Switch# ping tftp-server-addressFor more information about assigning an IP address and default gateway to the switch, see the software configuration guide for this release.
Step 6
Switch# archive download-sw /overwrite /reload tftp:[[//location]/directory]/image-name.tarThe /overwrite option overwrites the software image in flash memory with the downloaded one.
The /reload option reloads the system after downloading the image unless the configuration has been changed and not saved.
For //location, specify the IP address of the TFTP server.
For /directory/image-name.tar, specify the directory (optional) and the image to download. Directory and image names are case sensitive.
This example shows how to download an image from a TFTP server at 198.30.20.19 and to overwrite the image on the switch:
Switch# archive download-sw /overwrite tftp://198.30.20.19/image-name.tarYou can also download the image file from the TFTP server to the switch and keep the current image by replacing the /overwrite option with the /leave-old-sw option.
Recovering from a Software Failure
For additional recovery procedures, see the "Troubleshooting" chapter in the software configuration guide for this release.
Installation Notes
You can assign IP information to your switch by using these methods:
•
•
•
•
New Software Feature
Support for the ip vrf forwarding vrf-name server-group configuration and the ip radius source-interface global configuration VRF-Aware RADIUS commands. For more information, see the "Update to the Software Configuration Guide" section.
Limitations and Restrictions
You should review this section before you begin working with the switch. These are known limitations that will not be fixed, and there is not always a workaround. Some features might not work as documented, and some features could be affected by recent changes to the switch hardware or software.
•
•
Cisco IOS Limitations
Configuration
•
This problem occurs under these conditions:
–
–
–
The workaround is to reconfigure the static IP address. (CSCea71176 and CSCdz11708)
•
The workaround is to configure the port for 10 Mp/s and half duplex or to connect a hub or a nonaffected device to the switch. (CSCed39091)
•
The workaround is to enter the no switchport block unicast interface configuration command on that specific interface. (CSCee93822)
•
There is no workaround. This is a cosmetic error and does not affect the functionality of the switch. (CSCef59331)
•
The workaround is to always enter a non zero value for the timeout value when you enter the boot host retry timeout timeout-value command. (CSCsk65142)
Ethernet
•
If this happens, traffic distribution is uneven on EtherChannel ports.
Changing the load balance distribution method or changing the number of ports in the EtherChannel can resolve this problem. Use any of these workarounds to improve EtherChannel load balancing:
–
–
–
–
For example, with load balance configured as dst-ip with 150 distinct incrementing destination IP addresses, and the number of ports in the EtherChannel set to either 2, 4, or 8, load distribution is optimal. (CSCeh81991)
IP
•
IP Telephony
•
Multicasting
•
•
•
–
–
There is no workaround. (CSCec20128)
•
The switchport block multicast interface configuration command is only applicable to non-IP multicast traffic.
There is no workaround. (CSCee16865)
•
–
–
The workaround is to enter the clear ip mroute privileged EXEC command on the interface. (CSCef42436)
•
Use one of these workarounds:
–
–
•
–
–
When multicast traffic is sent in one direction and unicast traffic is sent in another, unicast traffic is dropped at the multicast traffic source port.
The workaround is to apply a policy map so that the least significant traffic is discarded. (CSCsq83882)
QoS
•
•
•
The workaround is to use policy maps with 62 or fewer policers. (CSCsc59418)
SPAN and RSPAN
•
•
•
Trunking
•
•
•
VLAN
•
The workaround is to reduce the number of VLANs or trunks. (CSCeb31087)
•
Device Manager Limitations
•
The workaround is to click Yes when you are prompted to accept the certificate. (CSCef45718)
•
There is no workaround (CSCsd98457).
Important Notes

Cisco IOS Notes
•
•
•
00:02:57: %RADIUS-4-RADIUS_DEAD: RADIUS server 172.20.246.206:1645,1646 is not responding.If this message appears, make sure that there is network connectivity between the switch and the ACS. You should also make sure that the switch has been properly configured as an AAA client on the ACS.
•
If the switch has interfaces with automatic QoS for voice over IP (VoIP) configured and you upgrade the switch software to Cisco IOS Release 12.2(40)SE (or later), when you enter the auto qos voip cisco-phone interface configuration command on another interface, you might see this message:
AutoQoS Error: ciscophone input service policy was not properly appliedpolicy map AutoQoS-Police-CiscoPhone not configuredIf this happens, enter the no auto qos voip cisco-phone interface command on all interface with this configuration to delete it. Then enter the auto qos voip cisco-phone command on each of these interfaces to reapply the configuration.

•
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure the HTTP server interface:
•
If you change the HTTP port, you must include the new port number when you enter the IP address in the browser Location or Address field (for example, http://10.1.126.45:184 where 184 is the new HTTP port number). You should write down the port number through which you are connected. Use care when changing the switch IP information.

Open Caveats
Device Manager
•
The chassis ID for the CBS3020 does not appear in the Device Manager window.
There is no workaround.
Cisco IOS
•
On switches running Cisco IOS Release 12.2(35)SE or later, connectivity issues might occur with these messages:
%SUPQ-4-CPUHB_RECV_STARVE: Still seeing receive queue stuck after throttlingThere is no workaround.
•
When you configure an ACL and enter the access-group interface configuration command to apply it to an interface for web authentication, the output from the show epm session ip-address or show ip access_list interface interface-id privileged EXEC command does not show any web authentication filter ID.
There is no workaround.
•
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.
•
The bootloader label is incorrect and displays "CISCO DEVELOPMENT TEST VERSION." However, the actual bootloader software is the correct version with the correct functionality.
There is no workaround. It does not impact functionality.
•
On switches running Cisco IOS Release 12.2(50)SE3 running MAC authentication bypass with multidomain authentication (MDA), IP phones connected to a port might not be able to regain network connectivity in the VOICE domain if the session times out and all RADIUS servers are unreachable.
There is no workaround.
•
A switch that has at least one trunk port configured might fail when you configure more than 950 VLANS by using the vlan vlan-id global configuration command.
There is no workaround.
•
When you use the device manager, the dashboard does not display the switch chassis ID.
There is no workaround.
Resolved Caveats
•
•
Resolved Caveats in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(53)SE1
•
The CISCO-RTTMON-MIB is not correctly implemented in this release.
•
A switch can fail when an SNMP process attempts to configure dot1x authentication when it is already configured.
There is no workaround.
•
A switch does not receive SNMP trap and inform messages from the correct interface after you have entered the snmp-server trap-source loopback0 and snmp-server source-interface informs loopback0 global configuration commands.
There is no workaround.
•
Modifying a prefix list that is configured as an inbound or outbound distribute-list causes the EIGRP peer to resynchronize.
•
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 or 12.2(53)SE, FTP sessions could disable Telnet or console connections. Then you can no longer use the vty.
Workaround: When you cannot use the vty, restart the switch. To prevent FTP sessions from disabling Telnet or console connections, enter the ip ftp passive global configuration command.
•
On a switch that is configured for IP routing and that is 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 the switch processes.
•
After upgrading from Cisco IOS Release 12.2(52)SE to Cisco IOS 12.2(53)SE, EIGRP hello packets are flooded on access ports of other subnets. This also occurs when pings are sent to the broadcast address of other subnets.
Resolved Caveats in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(53)SE
•
The Network Time Protocol (NTP) might not synchronize when the switch is configured as an NTP client. These are the two possible workarounds:
–
–
•
When a blade server starts, the switch internal interface might flap due to the network interface card (NIC) driver. In Cisco IOS Release 12.2(46)SE and earlier, the port might enter the error-disabled state.
The workaround is to enter the errdisable max flap 10 time 10 global configuration command in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(46)SE and earlier. In Cisco IOS Release 12.2(50)SE and later, the switch no longer detects link flapping on the internal interfaces.
•
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.
•
On switches running Cisco IOS Release 12.2(50)SE3 running MAC authentication bypass with multidomain authentication (MDA), IP phones connected to a port might not be able to regain network connectivity in the VOICE domain if the session times out and all RADIUS servers are unreachable.
There is no workaround.
•
The output of the show inventory user EXEC command sometimes does not display all of the connected SFP modules. The EntitityMIB does not report these SFP modules.
There is no workaround.
•
If IEEE 802.1Q native VLAN tagging is enabled on a switch, PDUs sent from an EtherChannel in LACP mode are tagged.
There is no workaround.
•
When a BPDU guard is globally enabled on a switch and the access VLAN is a VLAN other than VLAN 1, BPDU guard does not run on a multiple VLAN access port.
The workaround is to enable BPDU guard on the port.
•
When the no mac address-table static mac-addr vlan vlan-id interface interface-id global configuration command is used to remove a dynamically learned MAC address, the switch fails under these conditions:
–
–
–
•
An IP phone loses network connectivity under these conditions:
–
–
–
The workaround is to statically configure the MAC address of the IP phone on the authenticator switch.
•
After you have entered the snmp-server host informs global configuration command to enable SNMP informs on a switch, the switch might fail if you enter the show snmp pending user EXEC command.
There is no workaround. Do not enter the show command when SNMP informs are enabled.

Update to the Software Configuration Guide
This section was added to the "Configuring IP Unicast Routing" chapter:
User Interface for VRF-Aware RADIUS
To configure VRF-Aware RADIUS, you must first enable AAA on a RADIUS server. This release supports the ip vrf forwarding vrf-name server-group configuration and the ip radius source-interface global configuration commands, as described in the Per VRF AAA Feature Guide at this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_2t/12_2t13/feature/guide/ftvrfaaa.html
This section was added to 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:
•
•
•
This example shows how the session ID appears in the output of the show authentication command. The session ID in this example is 160000050000000B288508E5:
