Upgrading the Switch Software
These are the procedures for downloading software. Before downloading software, read this section for important information:
•
•
•
•
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.
Note
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
The universal software images support multiple feature sets. Use the software activation feature to deploy a software license and to enable a specific feature set. For information about software activation, see the Cisco Software Activation for HP document on Cisco.com:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6748/products_installation_and_configuration_guides_list.html
Archiving Software Images
Before upgrading your switch software, make sure that you have archived copies of the current Cisco IOS release and the Cisco IOS release from which you are upgrading. You should keep these archived images until you have upgraded all devices in the network to the new Cisco IOS image and until you have verified that the new Cisco IOS image works properly in your network.
Cisco routinely removes old Cisco IOS versions from Cisco.com. See Product Bulletin 2863 for more information:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/iosswrel/ps8802/ps6969/ps1835/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:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/fundamentals/command/reference/cf_t1.html
Upgrading a Switch by Using the Device Manager or Network Assistant
You can upgrade switch software by using the device manager or Network Assistant. For detailed instructions, click Help.
Note
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
a.
http://www.cisco.com/cisco/web/download/index.html
b.
c.
d.
Download the image you identified in Step 1.
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/cbs31x0-universal-tar.122-40.EX1.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 Features
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
MAC replace can be configured so that when a host disconnects from a port without ending its session, the session can be ended and the authentication sequence reset when a new MAC address connects to the port.
•
•
•
Use the dot1x supplicant controlled transient global configuration command to control access to the supplicant port during authentication. Use the no form of this command to provide access to the supplicant port during the authentication period.
Minimum Cisco IOS Release for Major Features
Table 4 lists the minimum software release (after the first release) required to support the major features of the Catalyst Blade Switch 3120 for HP. Features not listed are supported in all releases.
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
•
•
Access Control List
•
There is no workaround. (CSCse33114)
•
The workaround is to block traffic from the specific MAC address by using the mac address-table static mac-addr vlan vlan-id drop global configuration command. (CSCse73823)
Address Resolution Protocol
•
The workaround is to set the burst interval to more than 1 second. We recommend setting the burst interval to 3 seconds even if you are not experiencing this problem. (CSCse06827))
Cisco X2 Transceiver Modules and SFP Modules
•

Configuration
•
There is no workaround. (CSCec74610)
•
PLATFORM_RPC-3-MSG_THROTTLED: RPC Msg Dropped by throttle mechanism: type 0, class 51, max_msg 128, total throttled 984323
-Traceback= 6625EC 5DB4C0 5DAA98 55CA80 A2F2E0 A268D8No workaround is necessary. Under normal conditions, the switch generates this notification when snooping the next ARP packet. (CSCse47548)
•
The workaround is to not configure VLANs with protected ports as part of a fallback bridge group. (CSCsg40322)
When a switch port configuration is set at 10 Mb/s half duplex, sometimes the port does not send in one direction until the port traffic is stopped and then restarted. You can detect the condition by using the show controller ethernet-controller or the show interfaces privileged EXEC commands.
The workaround is to stop the traffic in the direction in which it is not being forwarded, and then restart it after 2 seconds. You can also use the shutdown interface configuration command followed by the no shutdown command on the interface. (CSCsh04301)
•
The workaround is to enter the switchport access vlan dynamic interface configuration command separately on each port.(CSCsi26392)
•
There is no workaround. It does not impact functionality. (CSCta72141)
EtherChannel
•
–
–
The EtherChannel ports are put in the suspended state because each partitioned stack sends LACP packets with different LACP Link Aggregation IDs (the system IDs are different). The ports that receive the packets detect the incompatibility and shut down some of the ports. Use one of these workarounds for ports in this error-disabled state:
–
–
The EtherChannel ports are put in the error-disabled state because the switches in the partitioned stacks send STP BPDUs. The switch or stack at the other end of the EtherChannel receiving the multiple BPDUs with different source MAC addresses detects an EtherChannel misconfiguration.
After the partitioned stacks merge, ports in the suspended state should automatically recover. (CSCse33842)
•
No workaround is necessary. The problem corrects itself after the link-up or link-down event. (CSCse75508)
•
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 879A58There is no workaround. (CSCsh12472)
HSRP
•
There is no workaround. (CSCth00938)
IEEE 802.1x Authentication
•
Use one of these workarounds (CSCsd90495):
–
–
•
–
–
Use one of these workarounds (CSCse04534):
–
–
•
The workaround is not use the VLAN assignment option. (CSCse22791)
Multicasting
•
–
–
–
The workaround is to not generate multicast packets with a TTL value of 0 or 1, or disable multicast routing in the VLAN. (CSCeh21660)
•
–
–
–
There is no workaround. (CSCei08359)
•
The workaround is to not send RPF-failed multicast traffic, or make sure that the source IP address of the RPF-failed packet is reachable. (CSCsd28944)
•
There is no workaround. (CSCsd45753)
•
•
–
–
–
The workaround is to disable the IGMP snooping throttle limit by using the no ip igmp max-groups number interface configuration command and then to reconfigure the same limit again. (CSCse39909)
Quality of Service (QoS)
•
There is no workaround. (CSCeh18677)
•
There is no workaround. (CSCsc63334)
•
The workaround is to use a different name for the interface-level policy map. (CSCsd84001)
•
There is no workaround. (CSCsd72001)
•
•
Use one of these workarounds:
–
–
•
01:01:32: %BIT-4-OUTOFRANGE: bit 1321 is not in the expected range of 0 to 1024There is no impact to switch functionality.
There is no workaround. (CSCtg32101)
RADIUS
RADIUS change of authorization (COA) reauthorization is not supported on the critical auth VLAN.
There is no workaround. (CSCta05071)
Routing
•
–
–
The workaround is to reduce the number of OSPF neighbors to 200 or less. (CSCse65252)
•
The workaround is to not send traffic to unknown destinations. (CSCse97660)
SPAN and RSPAN
•
There is no workaround. This is a hardware limitation. (CSCei10129)
•
The workaround is to configure aggressive UDLD. (CSCsh70244).
Stacking
•
The workaround is to use the logging monitor global configuration command to set the severity level to block the low-level messages on the stack member consoles. (CSCsd79037)
•
The workaround is to reboot the new member switch. Use the remote command all show run privileged EXEC command to compare the running configurations of the stack members. (CSCsf31301)
•
The workaround is to delete files in the flash memory to create more free space. (CSCsg30073)
•
–
–
–
You can use one of these workarounds:
–
–
•
The workaround is to apply the switch provision configuration before you reboot the switch. Enter both the switch current-stack-member-number renumber new-stack-member-number and the switch stack-member-number provision type global configuration commands, and reload the switch. (CSCsl63862)
•
The workaround is to use the session stack-member-number privileged EXEC command. (CSCsz38090)
VLANs
•
The workaround is to enter the shut and no shut interface configuration commands on the port to reset the authentication status. (CSCsf98557)
Device Manager Limitations
•
The workaround is to click Yes when you are prompted to accept the certificate. (CSCef45718)
•
The workaround when using Firefox is to either temporarily or permanently accept the certificate. If you temporarily accept the certificate, close and then reopen the Firefox browser window. If you permanently accept the certificate, delete the certificate, and then close and restart Firefox:
–
–
The workaround when using Internet Explorer is to click Click here for Options in the warning message, and click Display Blocked Content. Close the browser window, and launch a new session. (CSCsk80229)
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.
•
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 interfaces with this configuration to delete it. Then enter the auto qos voip cisco-phone command on each of these interfaces to reapply the configuration.
Device Manager Notes

From Microsoft Internet Explorer:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
•
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.
If you are not using the default method of authentication (the enable password), you need to configure the HTTP server interface with the method of authentication used on the switch.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure the HTTP server interface:
If you use Internet Explorer Version 5.5 and select a URL with a nonstandard port at the end of the address (for example, www.cisco.com:84), you must enter http:// as the URL prefix. Otherwise, you cannot launch the device manager.
Open Caveats
•
An internal switch port is down when one of these HP Flex 10-Gigabit Ethernet network interface cards (NICs) is up:
–
–
–
The workaround is to use the speed nonegotiate interface configuration command on the internal port.
•
If the Dynamic Trunking Protocol (DTP) is set to speed nonegotiate for two switches that interface each other, and the speed/duplex is configured as full/1000, the speed/duplex configuration of one of the switches changes to auto/auto when the switch is restarted. The port channel becomes incompatible and the second switch's operation is suspended. This problem applies only to the 1000BASE-LX interface.
The workaround is to enter the shutdown interface configuration command followed by the no shutdown command.
•
If you enter the shutdown interface configuration command on the the Fast Ethernet 0 router interface and VLAN 1 client switch interface, and then restart the master switch, the shutdown status of these two interfaces are not shown correctly. If you check their status with the show running-config privileged EXEC command, these interfaces are shown as up..
There is no workaround.
•
A port that is programatically configured with auth-default ACL does not allow any traffic on the switch except DHCP traffic. If the configurations on the interface are cleared and the interface is restarted, the auth-default ACL configuration remains and the problem persists.
There is no workaround.
Resolved Caveats
•

•
Caveats Resolved in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(55)SE5
•
During a Telnet session, the router crashes when the TACACS+ server is configured or unconfigured (tacacs-server host command) using the single-connection keyword.
The workaround is to not use the single-connection keyword.
•
When you enter the show running-config interface configuration command, IP Service Level Agreement notifications are shown as enabled even when you have not enabled this configuration using the ip sla enable reaction-alerts interface configuration command.
There is no workaround.
•
If local proxy Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is configured on the VLAN interface, the ARP entry for the Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP) enters into an incomplete state.
The workaround is to remove the proxy ARP feature on the VLAN interface (by using the no ip local-proxy-arp interface configuration command) and restart the interface.
•
When AAA authorization is used with TACACS+, an error is displayed if the banner message (banner exec global configuration command) starts with a blank character.
The workaround is to not start the banner message with a blank character.
•
If the no vtp VLAN configuration command is used on a port that receives VTP updates, the switch does not process Layer 2 control traffic (STP and CDP) after some time.
The workaround is to configure VTP on the port or to not use the no vtp command.
•
The switch fails when LLDP data units with Type Length Value (TLV) of more than 10 management addresses (MA) are received.
The workaround is to disable the sending of LLDP MA TLVs on peer hosts.
•
When you enter the default interface, switchport, or no switchport interface configuration command on the switch, this message appears:
EMAC phy access error, port 0, retrying......There is no workaround.
•
CPU usage is high when a device connected to the switch is accessed using the https://IP_address command on the router.
The workaround is to reload the device.
•
The switch crashes when DCHP snooping is enabled with value 125 and an offer packet is received.
There is no workaround.
•
If a Tcl policy is copied to the router, the router fails when an event manager policy is configured.
There is no workaround.
•
If a CLI configuration text file is copied from a Windows system to the switch, a space is appended to the end of the macro description command when the file is read from the flash of the switch. This leads to errors resulting in high CPU utilization on the switch. Another possible issue is that the macro is not removed when the link goes down or the connected device is removed from the switch.
The workaround is to copy the configuration file from a non-Windows system (like UNIX or Linux) or convert the file to an appropriate UNIX format before copying.
•
A vulnerability in the Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP) implementation of Cisco IOS Software and Cisco IOS XE Software could allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to cause a reload of an affected device. Repeated attempts to exploit this vulnerability could result in a sustained denial of service (DoS) condition.
Cisco has released free software updates that address this vulnerability. Workarounds that mitigate this vulnerability are available. This advisory is available at the following link:
http://tools.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/cisco-sa-20120328-msdp
•
A vulnerability exists in the Cisco IOS Software that may allow a remote application or device to exceed its authorization level when authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) authorization is used. This vulnerability requires that the HTTP or HTTPS server is enabled on the Cisco IOS device.
Products that are not running Cisco IOS Software are not vulnerable.
Cisco has released free software updates that address these vulnerabilities.
The HTTP server may be disabled as a workaround for the vulnerability described in this advisory.
This advisory is available at the following link:
http://tools.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/cisco-sa-20120328-pai
•
The switch crashes due to the "HACL Acl Manager" memory fragmentation when a large access control list (ACL) is modified.
•
A memory leak occurs when a Switch Virtual Interface (SVI) is configured and an external management port is disabled on the Advanced Management Module (AMM).
There is no workaround.
•
A threshold violation error message is displayed when a X2-10GB-LR module is installed on the switch (with or without a fiber cable). An example error message is:
SFF8472-5-THRESHOLD_VIOLATION: Te1/0/1: Voltage low alarm; Operating value: 0.00 V, Threshold value: 2.96 VThere is no workaround.
•
Routing Information Protocol (RIP) Version 2 packets egressing an 801.1Q tunnel interface are triplicated.
There is no workaround.
•
Cisco IOS Software contains a vulnerability in the Smart Install feature that could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a reload of an affected device if the Smart Install feature is enabled. The vulnerability is triggered when an affected device processes a malformed Smart Install message on TCP port 4786.
Cisco has released free software updates that address this vulnerability. There are no workarounds to mitigate this vulnerability.
This advisory is available at the following link:
http://tools.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/
cisco-sa-20120328-smartinstall•
If a client switch is authorized using MAC Authentication Bypass (MAB), and then by using the 802.1x standard and dynamic VLAN assignment, the MAC address of the switch is not updated in the MAC address table of slave switches.
The workaround is to not use both the 802.1x and dynamic VLAN assignment configurations for the client switch.
•
The switch crashes when an IP phone that uses LLDP and authenticates itself using MAC Authentication Bypass (MAB) or 802.1x is physically disconnected and reconnected to the switch port.
The workaround is to remove the aaa authorization network default group SG-PBA global configuration command.
Caveats Resolved in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(55)SE4
•
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) CLI does not accept white spaces in raw ASCII option in the DHCP pool configuration submode. This issue is seen in Cisco IOS Release 12.4(24)T1 and later.
There is no workaround.
•
In a VPN Routing and Forwarding (VRF) aware setup, messages are not sent to the syslog server. This issue applies to Cisco IOS Release 12.2(53)SE and 12.2(53)SE1. This situation does not occur if system logging is configured in the global table.
This problem has been corrected.
•
When two traps are generated by two separate processes, the switch fails if one process is suspended while the other process updates some variables used by the first process.
The workaround is to disable all SNMP traps.
•
A memory leak occurs in the SSH process, and user authentication is required.
The workaround is to allow SSH connections only from trusted hosts.
•
If a tunnel interface is configured with Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP), the switch fails when it receives a CDP packet.
The workaround is to disable CDP on the interface by using the no cdp enable interface configuration command.
•
The switch fails when the Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) mutation name is longer than 25 characters.
The workaround is to configure DSCP mutation names with fewer than 25 characters.
•
On a switch running Protocol-Independent Multicast (PIM) and Source Specific Multicast (SSM), multicast traffic might not be sent to the correct port after the switch reloads.
The workaround is to enter the clear ip route privileged EXEC command or reconfigure PIM and SSM after a reload.
•
If Auto Smartports macros are configured, access points with the AIR-CAP prefix are not detected.
The workaround is to manually configure the access point port.
•
Neighbor discovery fails for IPv6 hosts connected to the switch when the IPv6 MLD snooping feature is enabled globally on the switch.
The workaround is to disable IPv6 MLD snooping on the switch.
•
The switch sometimes reloads after a CPU overload, regardless of the process that is overloading the CPU.
This problem has been corrected.
•
If a switch stack is configured with the stack-mac persistent timer value interface configuration command, the switch virtual interface (SVI) should remain in shutdown mode during a switchover. In this case, the SVI is in up mode.
The workaround is to specify the timer value to be long enough so that the stack's MAC address is not changed.
•
If a member switch does not have an access control list (ACL) and is running an Enforcement Policy Module (EPM) session, the client on that interface is re-authorized each time that the switch reloads.
The workaround is to configure an ACL on the interface.
•
The switch fails when DHCP snooping is configured and packet data traffic is excessive. The traffic exhausts the I/O memory and triggers the switch to crash.
There is no workaround.
Caveats Resolved in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(55)SE3
•
When ports in an EtherChannel are linking up, the message
EC-5-CANNOT_BUNDLE2might appear. This condition is often self-correcting, indicated by the appearance ofEC-5-COMPATIBLEmessage following the first message. On occasion, the issue does not self-correct, and the ports may remain unbundled.The workaround is to reload the switch or to restore the EtherChannel bundle by shutting down and then enabling the member ports and the EtherChannel in this order:
–
–
–
–
•
When the show spanning-tree vlan VLAN interface fastethernet 0 command is entered, the switch restarts.
The FastEthernet 0 interface is a management interface that does not run Spanning Tree Protocol (STP). Do not run show spanning-tree commands for management interfaces.
•
When a member switch port security is used with port-based dot1x authentication and the switch MAC address is sticky, a connected device authenticates itself. Its MAC address is added as sticky in the switch configuration and in the port security tables of the stack switches. When the switch is shut down, the device MAC address is removed from the master switch, but it is retained in the member switch security tables. When the interface is re-enabled, the device MAC address is restored to the master switch configuration.
The workaround is to use port security without dot1x authentication.
Caveats Resolved in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(55)SE2 and Earlier
•
Cisco X2-10GB-CX4 transceiver modules with a version identification number lower than V03 might be difficult to install because of a size discrepancy.
The workaround is to use modules with a version identification number of V03 or later.
•
When the logging event-spanning-tree interface configuration command is configured and logging to the console is enabled, a topology change might generate a large number of logging messages, causing high CPU utilization. CPU utilization can increase with the number of spanning-tree instances and the number of interfaces configured with the logging event-spanning-tree interface configuration command. This condition adversely affects how the switch operates and could cause problems such as STP convergence delay.
High CPU utilization can also occur with other conditions, such as when debug messages are logged at a high rate to the console.
Use one of these workarounds:
Disable logging to the console.
Rate-limit logging messages to the console.
Remove the logging event spanning-tree interface configuration command from the interfaces.
•
The buffer space of a switch running TCP applications is full while the TCP sessions are in the TIME_WAIT state. Buffer space becomes available after the TCP session the closed.
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.
•
SNMP requests on the stpxRSTPPortRoleTable object only return information for the stack master.
There is no workaround.
•
When a switch stack is configured with DHCP snooping enabled on the host VLAN, hosts connected to the stack master receive bootp packets, but the a packet might not be forwarded to the end hosts connected to stack member switches. The behavior depends on which interface in the stack received the packet.
The workaround is to disable DHCP snooping for the affected VLAN.
•
When a switch is low on memory (less than 256 MB), it can reload and display a SYS-2-WATCHDOG error.
There is no workaround. Enter the show memory debug leak privileged EXEC command to check for signs of a memory leak and address these symptoms.
•
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.
•
Switches running Cisco IOS Release 12.2(52)SE might reload after you enter the no mac address-table static mac-address vlan vlan-id interface interface-id global configuration command if the interface is up and the MAC address was dynamically learned before it was changed to static.
Use one of these workarounds:
–
Switch(config)# no mac address-table learning vlan vlan_idSwitch(config)# clear mac-address-table dynamic address mac_addressSwitch(config)# mac address-table static mac_address vlan vlan_id interface interface_idSwitch(config)# mac address-table learning vlan vlan_id–
–
•
When PAgP or LACP EtherChannels are configured on a switch and the stack reloads, entering a show interface or show etherchannel summary privileged EXEC command when the stack comes up can cause the console to lock up.
There is no workaround.
•
When a port that is configured for Switched Port Analyzer (SPAN) goes up and down, a memory leak occurs in the `hpm main' process.
There is no workaround.
•
After a 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface in an X2-10GB-SR module is down and the switch is restarted, the show inventory command output shows the module as not present.
The workaround is to reinstall the X2-10GB-SR module or to restart the switch.
•
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.
•
A vulnerability in the Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) version 3 implementation of Cisco IOS Software and Cisco IOS XE Software allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to cause a reload of an affected device. Repeated attempts to exploit this vulnerability could result in a sustained denial of service (DoS) condition. Cisco has released free software updates that address this vulnerability.
This advisory is posted at http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20100922-igmp.shtml.
Note: The September 22, 2010, Cisco IOS Software Security Advisory bundled publication includes six Cisco Security Advisories. Five of the advisories address vulnerabilities in Cisco IOS Software, and one advisory addresses vulnerabilities in Cisco Unified Communications Manager. Each advisory lists the releases that correct the vulnerability or vulnerabilities detailed in the advisory.

•
After a software upgrade from Cisco IOS Release 12.2(52)SE to Cisco IOS Release 12.2(53)SE, EIGRP hello packets are flooded on access ports belonging to another subnet. The same result occurs when you initiate ping requests to the broadcast address of other subnets. This results in Not on common subnet errors on the other side of the link.
The workaround is to downgrade to 12.2(52)SE
•
After you apply an ACL, these messages appear:
%IPACCESS-4-INVALIDACL: Invalid ACL field: Acl number is 0%IPACCESS-4-INVALIDACL: Invalid ACL field: Acl type is 145There is no workaround.
•
A Cisco Catalyst switch can report abnormal temperatures even though the output of the show environment all user EXEC or privileged EXEC command shows that the temperatures are within acceptable limits.
This is an example of the system messages:
Dec 25 19:03:57.463 AEST: %PLATFORM_ENV-1-TEMP: Abnormal temperature detected
Jan 2 04:04:46.600 AEST: %PLATFORM_ENV-1-TEMP: Abnormal temperature detected
Jan 7 06:33:36.067 AEST: %PLATFORM_ENV-1-TEMP: Abnormal temperature detectedThis is an example of the output of the show environment all command:
Switch# showenvironment all
TEMPERATURE is OK
Temperature Value: 39 Degree Celsius
Temperature State: GREEN
Yellow Threshold : 80 Degree Celsius
Red Threshold : 90 Degree CelsiusThere is no workaround.
•
If the RADIUS authentication server is unavailable and inaccessible authentication bypass is enabled, the switch grants the client access to the network by putting the connected port in the critical-authentication state in the RADIUS-configured or the user-specified access VLAN. After the server is available, the client is not reinitialized and moved out of the critical VLAN.
There is no workaround.
•
A PC in 802.1x or multidomain authentication (MDA) mode is connected to an IP phone and connected to a MDA-enabled switch port. After the PC and phone are authenticated on the port, the PC is down. The port does not automatically reauthenticate the PC.
There is no workaround.
•
A switch running Cisco IOS Release 12.2(53)SE1 stops when IEEE 802.1x authentication is enabled.
The workaround is to apply a VLAN that the RADIUS server assigned to the switch.
•
Multidomain authentication (MDA) with guest VLAN or MAC authentication bypass (MAB) as a fallback method is enabled on a switch running Cisco IOS Release 12.2(53)SE. When a non-802.1x client is connected to a IP phone and the phone connected to a switch port shuts down and then restarts, the client MAC address status is drop in the MAC address table. It takes 5 minutes for the client to access the network.
The workaround is to use another software release, such as Cisco IOS Release 12.2(44)SE2.
•
This error message is displayed after copying a configuration file to the running configuration file fails:
%Error opening system:/running-config (No such file or directory)The output of the dir system:/ EXEC command also does not show a running configuration file.
The workaround is to reload the switch.
•
When VTP pruning is enabled in a VTP domain, the switch in VTP server mode sends advertisements to neighboring switches. If the VTP and VLAN configuration for neighboring ports is not updated, VLANs on those ports can be pruned, causing a network traffic outage.
The workaround is to disable VTP pruning.
•
This message appears after inserting the CVR-X2-SFP converter module and the X2-10GB-SR transceiver modules in the10-Gigabit slots of the Catalyst 3750-E and 3560-E switches:
%GBIC_SECURITY_CRYPT-4-VN_DATA_CRC_ERROR: GBIC in port Te1/0/1 has bad crcThere is no workaround.
•
After you upgrade the switch software to Cisco IOS Release 12.2(55)SE, enhanced auto-QoS commands are generated when
–
and
–
If the mls qos command was already enabled on the switch, enhanced auto-QoS commands are generated only when you configure one of these commands:
–
–
–
Cisco IOS Release 12.2(55)SE supports implicit and explicit migration to enhanced auto-QoS configurations.
Implicit migration to enhanced auto-QoS occurs on a switch running legacy auto-QoS when you configure the auto qos video, auto qos trust, or auto qos classify command on an interface. Global and interface configurations on the switch migrate to the enhanced video or trust auto-QoS configurations.
Explicit migration to enhanced auto-QoS occurs on a switch when you enable the auto qos srnd4 global configuration command. You can configure the [no] form of this commandafter you remove auto-QoS functionality from all switch interfaces.
•
When you disconnect the spanning tree protocol (STP) peer link, the STP port path cost configuration changes.
There is no workaround.
•
If a static MAC address entry is configured for an IP address in the global routing table, ping requests are sent through the global context, and replies are sent through Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF). This is a VRF leak.
The workaround is to remove the static MAC address entry.
