Release Notes for Catalyst 3750-E
and Catalyst 3560-E Switches, Cisco IOS Release 12.2(40)SE
Revised January 6, 2009
Cisco IOS Release 12.2(40)SE runs on all Catalyst 3750-E and Catalyst 3560-E switches.
The Catalyst 3750-E switches support stacking through Cisco StackWise Plus technology. The Catalyst 3560-E switches do not support switch stacking. Unless otherwise noted, the term switch refers to a standalone switch and to a switch stack.
These release notes include important information about Cisco IOS Release 12.2(40)SE and any limitations, restrictions, and caveats that apply to it. Verify that these release notes are correct for your switch:
•
If you are installing a new switch, see the Cisco IOS release label on the rear panel of your switch.
•
If your switch is on, use the show version privileged EXEC command. See the "Finding the Software Version and Feature Set" section.
•
If you are upgrading to a new release, see the software upgrade filename for the software version. See the "Deciding Which Files to Use" section.

Cluster Compatibility
You cannot create and manage switch clusters through the device manager. To create and manage switch clusters, use the command-line interface (CLI) or the Network Assistant application.
When creating a switch cluster or adding a switch to a cluster, follow these guidelines:
•
When you create a switch cluster, we recommend configuring the highest-end switch in your cluster as the command switch.
•
If you are managing the cluster through Network Assistant, the switch with the latest software should be the command switch.
•
The standby command switch must be the same type as the command switch. For example, if the command switch is a Catalyst 3750-E switch, all standby command switches must be Catalyst 3750-E switches.
For additional information about clustering, see Getting Started with Cisco Network Assistant and Release Notes for Cisco Network Assistant (not orderable but available on Cisco.com), the software configuration guide, and the command reference.
CNA Compatibility
Cisco IOS 12.2(35)SE2 and later is only compatible with Cisco Network Assistant 5.0 and later. You can download Network Assistant from this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/pcgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/NetworkAssistant
For more information about Cisco Network Assistant, see the Release Notes for Cisco Network Assistant on Cisco.com.
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" section
•
"Deciding Which Files to Use" section
•
"Upgrading a Switch by Using the Device Manager or Network Assistant" section
•
"Upgrading a Switch by Using the CLI" section
•
"Recovering from a Software Failure" section
Finding the Software Version and Feature Set
The Cisco IOS image is stored as a bin file in a directory that is named with the Cisco IOS release. A subdirectory contains the files needed for web management. The image is stored on the system board flash device (flash:).
You can use the show version privileged EXEC command to see the software version that is running on your switch. The second line of the display shows the version.
Note
Although the show version output always shows the software image running on the switch, the model name shown at the end of this display is the factory configuration (IP base feature set or IP services feature set) and does not change if you upgrade the software license.
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.
Table 4 lists the filenames for this software release.
Note
For IPv6 routing and IPv6 ACL capability on the Catalyst 3750-E or 3560-E switch, you must get the advanced IP services software license from Cisco.
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 and Compatibility Document on Cisco.com:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps7077/tsd_products_support_series_home.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/products/sw/iosswrel/ps5187/prod_bulletin0900aecd80281c0e.html
You can copy the bin software image file on the flash memory to the appropriate TFTP directory on a host by using the copy flash: tftp: privileged EXEC command.
Note
Although you can copy any file on the flash memory to the TFTP server, it is time-consuming to copy all of the HTML files in the tar file. We recommend that you download the tar file from Cisco.com and archive it on an internal host in your network.
You can also configure the switch as a TFTP server to copy files from one switch to another without using an external TFTP server by using the tftp-server global configuration command. For more information about the tftp-server command, see the "Basic File Transfer Services Commands" section of the Cisco IOS Configuration Fundamentals Command Reference, Release 12.2, at this URL:
Upgrading a Switch by Using the Device Manager or Network Assistant
You can upgrade switch software by using the device manager or Network Assistant. For detailed instructions, click Help.
Note
When using the device manager to upgrade your switch, do not use or close your browser session after the upgrade process begins. Wait until after the upgrade process completes.
Upgrading a Switch by Using the CLI
This procedure is for copying the combined tar file to the switch. You copy the file to the switch from a TFTP server and extract the files. You can download an image file and replace or keep the current image.
To download software, follow these steps:
Step 1
Use Table 4 to identify the file that you want to download.
Step 2
Download the software image file. If you have a SmartNet support contract, go to this URL, and log in to download the appropriate files:
http://www.cisco.com/public/sw-center/sw-lan.shtml
To download the universal software image files for a Catalyst 3750-E switch, click Catalyst 3750-E software. To obtain authorization and to download the cryptographic software files, click Catalyst 3750-E 3DES Cryptographic Software.
To download the universal software image files for a Catalyst 3560-E switch, click Catalyst 3560-E software. To obtain authorization and to download the cryptographic software files, click Catalyst 3560-E 3DES Cryptographic Software.
Step 3
Copy the image to the appropriate TFTP directory on the workstation, and make sure that the TFTP server is properly configured.
For more information, see Appendix B in the software configuration guide for this release.
Step 4
Log into the switch through the console port or a Telnet session.
Step 5
(Optional) Ensure that you have IP connectivity to the TFTP server by entering this privileged EXEC command:
Switch# ping tftp-server-addressFor more information about assigning an IP address and default gateway to the switch, see the software configuration guide for this release.
Step 6
Download the image file from the TFTP server to the switch. If you are installing the same version of software that is currently on the switch, overwrite the current image by entering this privileged EXEC command:
Switch# archive download-sw /overwrite /reload tftp:[[//location]/directory]/image-name.tarThe /overwrite option overwrites the software image in flash memory with the downloaded one.
The /reload option reloads the system after downloading the image unless the configuration has been changed and not saved.
For //location, specify the IP address of the TFTP server.
For /directory/image-name.tar, specify the directory (optional) and the image to download. Directory and image names are case sensitive.
This example shows how to download an image from a TFTP server at 198.30.20.19 and to overwrite the image on the switch:
Switch# archive download-sw /overwrite tftp://198.30.20.19/c3750e-universal-tar.122-35.SE2.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:
•
The Express Setup program, as described in the switch getting started guide.
•
The CLI-based setup program, as described in the switch hardware installation guide.
•
The DHCP-based autoconfiguration, as described in the switch software configuration guide.
•
Manually assigning an IP address, as described in the switch software configuration guide.

Minimum Cisco IOS Release for Major Features
Table 5 lists the minimum software release (after the first release) required to support the major features of the Catalyst 3750-E and Catalyst 3560-E switches. 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.
This section contains these limitations:
•
"Cisco IOS Limitations" section
•
"Device Manager Limitations" section
Cisco IOS Limitations
Unless otherwise noted, these limitations apply to the Catalyst 3750-E and 3560-E switches:
•
"Access Control List" section
•
"Address Resolution Protocol" section
•
"Cisco Redundant Power System 2300" section
•
"Cisco X2 Transceiver Modules and SFP Modules" section
•
"IEEE 802.1x Authentication" section
•
"Stacking (only Catalyst 3750-E Switch Stack)" section
Access Control List
These are the access control list (ACL) limitations:
•
The Catalyst 3750-E and Catalyst 3560-E switches have 964 TCAM entries available for ACLs in the default and routing SDM templates instead of the 1024 entries that are available on the Catalyst 3560 and Catalyst 3750 switches.
There is no workaround. (CSCse33114)
•
When a MAC access list is used to block packets from a specific source MAC address, that MAC address is entered in the switch MAC-address table.
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
This is an Address Resolution Protocol limitation:
•
The switch might place a port in an error-disabled state due to an Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) rate limit exception even when the ARP traffic on the port is not exceeding the configured limit. This could happen when the burst interval setting is 1 second, the default.
The workaround is to set the burst interval to more than 1 second. We recommend setting the burst interval to 3 seconds even if you are not experiencing this problem.(CSCse06827)
Cisco Redundant Power System 2300
This is the Cisco Redundant Power System (RPS) 2300 limitation:
•
When connecting the RPS cable between the RPS 2300 and the Catalyst 3750-E or 3560-E switch or other supported network devices, this communication error might appear:
PLATFORM_ENV-1-RPS_ACCESS: RPS is not responding
No workaround is required because the problem corrects itself. (CSCsf15170)
Cisco X2 Transceiver Modules and SFP Modules
These are the Cisco X2 transceiver module and SFP module limitations:
•
Cisco X2-10GB-LR transceiver modules with a version identification number lower than V03 might show intermittent frame check sequence (FCS) errors or be ejected from the switch during periods of operational shock greater than 50g. There is no workaround. (CSCse14048)
•
Cisco X2-10GB-CX4 transceiver modules with a version identification number lower than V03 might be difficult to insert because of a dimensional tolerance discrepancy. The workaround is to use modules with a version identification number of V03 or later. (CSCsg28558)
•
Switches with the Cisco X2-10GB-LX4 transceiver modules with a version identification number prior to V03 might intermittently fail. The workaround is to use Cisco X2-10GB-LX4 transceiver modules with a version identification number of V03 or later. (CSCsh60076)
•
Cisco GLC-GE-100FX SFP modules with a serial number between OPC0926xxxx and OPC0945xxxx might show intermittent module not valid, data, status, link-flapping, and FCS errors. The workaround is to use modules with serial numbers that are not in the specified range. (CSCsh59585)
•
When switches are installed closely together and the uplink ports of adjacent switches are in use, you might have problems accessing the SFP module bale-clasp latch to remove the SFP module or the SFP cable (Ethernet or fiber). Use one of these workarounds:
–
Allow space between the switches when installing them.
–
In a switch stack, plan the SFP module and cable installation so that uplinks in adjacent stack members are not all in use.
–
Use long, small screwdriver to access the latch then remove the SFP module and cable. (CSCsd57938)
•
When a Cisco X2-10GB-CX4 transceiver module is in the X2 transceiver module port and you enter the show controllers ethernet-controller tengigabitethernet privileged EXEC command, the command displays some fields as unspecified. This is the expected behavior based IEEE 802.3ae. (CSCsd47344)
•
The far-end fault optional facility is not supported on the GLC-GE-100FX SFP module. The workaround is to configure aggressive UDLD. (CSCsh70244).
Configuration
These are the configuration limitations:
•
When an excessive number (more than 100 packets per second) of Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) packets are sent to a Network Admission Control (NAC) Layer 2 IP-configured member port, a switch might display a message similar to this:
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 A268D8
No workaround is necessary. Under normal conditions, the switch generates this notification when snooping the next ARP packet. (CSCse47548)
•
When there is a VLAN with protected ports configured in fallback bridge group, packets might not be forwarded between the protected ports.
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)
•
When line rate traffic is passing through a dynamic port, and you enter the switchport access vlan dynamic interface configuration command for a range of ports, the VLANs might not be assigned correctly. One or more VLANs with a null ID appears in the MAC address table instead.
The workaround is to enter the switchport access vlan dynamic interface configuration command separately on each port.(CSCsi26392)
EtherChannel
These are the EtherChannel limitations:
•
In an EtherChannel running Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP), the ports might be put in the suspended or error-disabled state after a stack partitions or a member switch reloads. This occurs when
–
The EtherChannel is a cross-stack EtherChannel with a switch stack at one or both ends.
–
The switch stack partitions because a member reloads. The EtherChannel is divided between the two partitioned stacks, each with a stack master.
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:
–
Enable the switch to recover from the error-disabled state.
–
Enter the shutdown and the no shutdown interface configuration commands to enable the port.
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)
•
When a switch stack is configured with a cross-stack EtherChannel, it might transmit duplicate packets across the EtherChannel when a physical port in the EtherChannel has a link-up or link-down event. This can occur for a few milliseconds while the switch stack adjusts the EtherChannel for the new set of active physical ports and can happen when the cross-stack EtherChannel is configured with either mode ON or LACP. This problem might not occur with all link-up or link-down events.
No workaround is necessary. The problem corrects itself after the link-up or link-down event. (CSCse75508)
IEEE 802.1x Authentication
These are the IEEE 802.1x authentication limitations:
•
If a supplicant using a Marvel Yukon network interface card (NIC) is connected an IEEE 802.1x-authorized port in multihost mode, the extra MAC address of 0c00.0000.0000 appears in the MAC address table.
Use one of these workarounds (CSCsd90495):
–
Configure the port for single-host mode to prevent the extra MAC address from appearing in the MAC address table.
–
Replace the NIC card with a new card.
•
When MAC authentication bypass is configured to use Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) for authorization and critical authentication is configured to assign a critical port to an access VLAN:
–
If the connected device is supposed to be unauthorized, the connected device might be authorized on the VLAN that is assigned to the critical port instead of to a guest VLAN.
–
If the device is supposed to be authorized, it is authorized on the VLAN that is assigned to the critical port.
Use one of these workarounds (CSCse04534):
–
Configure MAC authentication bypass to not use EAP.
–
Define your network access profiles to not use MAC authentication bypass. For more information, see the Cisco Access Control Server (ACS) documentation.
•
When IEEE 802.1x authentication with VLAN assignment is enabled, a CPUHOG message might appear if the switch is authenticating supplicants in a switch stack.
The workaround is not use the VLAN assignment option. (CSCse22791)
Multicasting
These are the multicasting limitations:
•
Multicast packets with a time-to-live (TTL) value of 0 or 1 are flooded in the incoming VLAN when all of these conditions are met:
–
Multicast routing is enabled in the VLAN.
–
The source IP address of the packet belongs to the directly connected network.
–
The TTL value is either 0 or 1.
The workaround is to not generate multicast packets with a TTL value of 0 or 1, or disable multicast routing in the VLAN. (CSCeh21660)
•
Multicast packets denied by the multicast boundary access list are flooded in the incoming VLAN when all of these conditions are met:
–
Multicast routing is enabled in the VLAN.
–
The source IP address of the multicast packet belongs to a directly connected network.
–
The packet is denied by the IP multicast boundary access-list configured on the VLAN.
There is no workaround. (CSCei08359)
•
Reverse path forwarding (RPF) failed multicast traffic might cause a flood of Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) messages in the VLAN when a packet source IP address is not reachable.
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)
•
If the clear ip mroute privileged EXEC command is used when multicast packets are present, it might cause temporary flooding of incoming multicast traffic in the VLAN.
There is no workaround. (CSCsd45753)
•
When you configure the ip igmp max-groups number and ip igmp max-groups action replace interface configuration commands and the number of reports exceed the configured max-groups value, the number of groups might temporarily exceed the configured max-groups value. No workaround is necessary because the problem corrects itself when the rate or number of IGMP reports are reduced. (CSCse27757)
•
When you configure the IGMP snooping throttle limit by using the ip igmp max-groups number interface configuration on a port-channel interface, the groups learned on the port-channel might exceed the configured throttle limit number, when all of these conditions are true:
–
The port-channel is configured with member ports across different switches in the stack.
–
When one of the member switches reloads.
–
The member switch that is reloading has a high rate of IP IGMP joins arriving on the port-channel member port.
The workaround is to disable the IGMP snooping throttle limit by using the no ip igmp max-groups number interface configuration command and then to reconfigure the same limit again. (CSCse39909)
PoE
These are the power-over-Ethernet (PoE) limitations:
•
When a loopback cable is connected to a switch PoE port, the show interface status privileged EXEC command shows not connected, and the link remains down. When the same loopback cable is connected to a non-PoE port, the link becomes active and then transitions to the error-disabled state when the keepalive feature is enabled. There is no workaround. (CSCsd60647)
•
The Cisco 7905 IP Phone is error-disabled when the phone is connected to an external power source.
The workaround is to enable PoE and to configure the switch to recover from the PoE error-disabled state. (CSCsf32300)
•
The pethPsePortShortCounter MIB object appears as short even though the powered device is powered on after it is connected to the PoE port.
There is no workaround. (CSCsg20629)
QoS
These are the quality of service (QoS) limitations:
•
When QoS is enabled and the egress port receives pause frames at the line rate, the port cannot send packets.
There is no workaround. (CSCeh18677)
•
Egress shaped round robin (SRR) sharing weights do not work properly with system jumbo MTU frames.
There is no workaround. (CSCsc63334)
•
In a hierarchical policy map, if the VLAN-level policy map is attached to a VLAN interface and the name of the interface-level policy map is the same as that for another VLAN-level policy map, the switch rejects the configuration, and the VLAN-level policy map is removed from the interface.
The workaround is to use a different name for the interface-level policy map. (CSCsd84001)
•
If the ingress queue has low buffer settings and the switch sends multiple data streams of system jumbo MTU frames at the same time at the line rate, the frames are dropped at the ingress.
There is no workaround. (CSCsd72001)
•
When you use the srr-queue bandwidth limit interface configuration command to limit port bandwidth, packets that are less than 256 bytes can cause inaccurate port bandwidth readings. The accuracy is improved when the packet size is greater than 512 bytes. There is no workaround. (CSCsg79627)
Routing
These are the routing limitations:
•
The switch stack might reload if the switch runs with this configuration for several hours, depleting the switch memory and causing the switch to fail:
–
The switch has 400 Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) neighbors.
–
The switch has thousands of OSPF routes.
The workaround is to reduce the number of OSPF neighbors to 200 or less. (CSCse65252)
•
When the PBR is enabled and QoS is enabled with DSCP settings, the CPU utilization might be high if traffic is sent to unknown destinations.
The workaround is to not send traffic to unknown destinations. (CSCse97660)
SPAN and RSPAN
This is the SPAN and Remote SPAN (RSPAN) limitation.
•
When egress SPAN is running on a 10-Gigabit Ethernet port, only about 12 percent of the egress traffic is monitored.
There is no workaround. This is a hardware limitation. (CSCei10129)
•
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. (CSCsg91027)
–
Remove the logging event spanning-tree interface configuration command from the interfaces.
•
The far-end fault optional facility is not supported on the GLC-GE-100FX SFP module.
The workaround is to configure aggressive UDLD. (CSCsh70244).
VLANs
This is a VLAN limitation:
•
When the domain is authorized in the guest VLAN on a member switch port without link loss and an Extensible Authentication Protocol over LAN (EAPOL) is sent to an IEEE 802.1x supplicant to authenticate, the authentication fails. This problem happens intermittently with certain stacking configurations and only occurs on the member switches.
The workaround is to enter the shut and no shut interface configuration commands on the port to reset the authentication status. (CSCsf98557)
Stacking (only Catalyst 3750-E Switch Stack)
These are the Catalyst 3750-E switch stack limitations:
•
Where there is a mixed hardware stack with Catalyst 3750-E and 3750 switches as stack members, when you change the configuration and enter the write memory privileged EXEC command, the unable to read config message appears.
The workaround is to wait a few seconds and then to reenter the write memory privileged EXEC command. (CSCsd66272)
•
When using the logging console global configuration command, low-level messages appear on both the stack master and the stack member consoles.
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)
•
In a mixed stack which consists of Catalyst 3750 switches along with Catalyst 3750-E switches, when the stack ring is congested with approximately 40 Gb/s of traffic, some of the local traffic from one port to another on a Catalyst 3750-E member might be dropped.
The workaround is to avoid traffic congestion on the stack ring. (CSCsd87538)
•
If a new member switch joins a switch stack within 30 seconds of a command to copy the switch configuration to the running configuration of the stack master, the new member might not get the latest running configuration and might not operate properly.
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)
•
When the flash memory of a stack member is almost full, it might take longer to start up than other member switches. This might cause that switch to miss the stack-master election window. As a result, the switch might fail to become the stack master even though it has the highest priority.
The workaround is to delete files in the flash memory to create more free space. (CSCsg30073)
•
In a mixed stack of Catalyst 3750 switches and Catalyst 3750-E switches, when the stack reloads, the Catalyst 3750-E might not become stack master, even it has a higher switch priority set.
The workaround is to check the flash. If it contains many files, remove the unnecessary ones. Check the lost and found directory in flash and if there are many files, delete them. To check the number of files use the fsck flash: command. (CSCsi69447)
Device Manager Limitations
This is the device manager limitation:
•
When you are prompted to accept the security certificate and you click No, you only see a blank screen, and the device manager does not launch.
The workaround is to click Yes when you are prompted to accept the certificate. (CSCef45718)
Important Notes
These sections describe the important notes related to this software release for the Catalyst 3750-E and 3560-E switches:
•
"Device Manager Notes" section
Switch Stack Notes
These notes apply to switch stacks:
•
Always power off a switch before adding or removing it from a switch stack.
•
The Catalyst 3560-E switches do not support switch stacking. However, the show processes privileged EXEC command still lists stack-related processes. This occurs because these switches share common code with other switches that do support stacking.
•
Catalyst 3750-E switches running Cisco IOS Release 12.2(35)SE2 are compatible with Catalyst 3750 switches and Cisco EtherSwitch service modules running Cisco IOS Release 12.2(35)SE. Catalyst 3750-E switches, Catalyst 3750 switches, and Cisco EtherSwitch service modules can be in the same switch stack. In this switch stack, we recommend that the Catalyst 3750-E switch be the stack master.
Cisco IOS Notes
These notes apply to Cisco IOS software:
•
If the switch requests information from the Cisco Secure Access Control Server (ACS) and the message exchange times out because the server does not respond, a message similar to this appears:
00:02:57: %RADIUS-4-RADIUS_DEAD: RADIUS server 172.20.246.206:1645,1646 is not responding.If this message appears, make sure that there is network connectivity between the switch and the ACS. You should also make sure that the switch has been properly configured as an AAA client on the ACS.
•
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.
Device Manager Notes
These notes apply to the device manager:
•
You cannot create and manage switch clusters through the device manager. To create and manage switch clusters, use the CLI or Cisco Network Assistant.
•
When the switch is running a localized version of the device manager, the switch displays settings and status only in English letters. Input entries on the switch can only be in English letters.
•
For device manager session on Internet Explorer, popup messages in Japanese or in simplified Chinese can appear as garbled text. These messages appear properly if your operating system is in Japanese or Chinese.
•
We recommend this browser setting to speed up the time needed to display the device manager from Microsoft Internet Explorer.
From Microsoft Internet Explorer:
1.
Choose Tools > Internet Options.
2.
Click Settings in the "Temporary Internet files" area.
3.
From the Settings window, choose Automatically.
4.
Click OK.
5.
Click OK to exit the Internet Options window.
•
The HTTP server interface must be enabled to display the device manager. By default, the HTTP server is enabled on the switch. Use the show running-config privileged EXEC command to see if the HTTP server is enabled or disabled.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure the HTTP server interface:
•
The device manager uses the HTTP protocol (the default is port 80) and the default method of authentication (the enable password) to communicate with the switch through any of its Ethernet ports and to allow switch management from a standard web browser.
If you change the HTTP port, you must include the new port number when you enter the IP address in the browser Location or Address field (for example, http://10.1.126.45:184 where 184 is the new HTTP port number). You should write down the port number through which you are connected. Use care when changing the switch IP information.
If you 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
This section describes the open caveats with possible unexpected activity in this software release. Unless otherwise noted, these severity 3 Cisco IOS configuration caveats apply to the Catalyst 3750-E and 3560-E switches:
•
CSCsg58889
If IEEE 802.1Q tunneling and Layer 2 protocol tunneling are configured first on physical ports, and the ports are then added to an unconfigured port channel, the port channel might stop forwarding traffic if one or more physical ports in the EtherChannel are shut down.
These are the workarounds:
–
Remove and reapply the Layer 2 protocol tunneling configuration on the port channel.
–
Configure the port channel first, next configure the physical ports, and then add them to the port channel.
•
CSCsg67684
When a cross-stack LACP EtherChannel has a maximum configuration, such as eight active and eight hot-standby ports, and there are multiple rapid sequential master failovers and stack rejoins that cause extreme stress, it is possible that the port channel will not function as expected. Some ports might not join the EtherChannel, and traffic might be lost. You can detect the condition by using the remote command all show etherchannel summary privileged EXEC command.
There is no workaround. The out-of-sync switches must be reloaded.
•
CSCsg77818
When a switch interface is configured with trust boundary and Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) or the CDP table is repeatedly disabled, enabled, or cleared, the switch might reload.
The workaround is to avoid repeatedly disabling, enabling, or clearing CDP or the CDP table when trust boundary is configured on an interface. Or, disable trust boundary first before repeatedly disabling, enabling, or clearing CDP or the CDP table.
•
CSCsh12472
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.
•
CSCsh70377
When a secondary VLAN is disassociated from the primary VLAN, duplicate MAC addresses on the primary VLAN remain in the MAC address table.
The workaround is to disassociate the secondary VLAN from the primary VLAN by entering these commands (in this order):
clear port-security {all | interface interface-id) privileged EXEC command
primary-vlan association remove vlan-id VLAN configuration mode command.
•
CSCsi01526
Traceback messages appear if you enter the no switchport interface configuration command to change a Layer 2 interface that belongs to a port channel to a routed port.
There is no workaround.
•
CSCsi06399
When a RIP network and IP address are configured on an interface, a traceback error occurs after you enter the shutdown, no shutdown, switchport and no switchport interface configuration commands.
The workaround is to configure the RIP network and the IP address after you configure the interface.
•
CSCsi14303
When booting a switch stack configured for IP source guard with port security and dynamic ARP inspection, a message similar to this might appear:
SYS-2-LINKED: Bad enqueue of 2A3DE74 in queue 22881BC (l3a3-9) -Process= "Port-Security", ipl= 6, pid= 161 (l3a3-9) -Traceback= 119CC50 11D2264 9571E0 119B4E0 95D41C 80DBD8 80E734 80B998 80AAD4 80B55C 9EB158 9E2544 (l3a3-9)
There is no workaround. This message is only information, switch functionality is not affected.
•
CSCsi16162
When you enter an all 0s route with an all 1s mask in the routing table and the next hop is entered as an interface, a traceback message appears.
The workaround is to use an IP address as the next hop instead of an interface.
•
CSCsi26444
The error message %DOT1X_SWITCH-5-ERR_VLAN_NOT_FOUND might appear for a switch stack under these conditions:
–
IEEE 802.1 is enabled.
–
A supplicant is authenticated on at least one port.
–
A new member joins a switch stack.
You can use one of these workarounds:
–
Enter the shutdown and the no shutdown interface configuration commands to reset the port.
–
Remove and reconfigure the VLAN.
•
CSCsi50367
When changing a switch port access VLAN from static to dynamic or the reverse, a message similar to this might appear:
01:43:55: PSECURE: Assert failure: is_etherchnl(hwidb_or_null swidb)): ../switch/psecure/psecure_ifc.c: 412: psecure_get_vlanid (l2a1-5) 01:43:55Traceback= 804484 809604 802258 806904 70FC 8D70 5C97BC 6901DC 6903CC 9EF8D8 9E6CC4 (l2a1-5)
There is no workaround necessary. This message does not affect switch functionality.
•
CSCsi52914 (Only Catalyst 3750-E switches)
When you are configuring a SPAN session, this message might erroneously appear even when two source sessions are not configured:
% Platform can support a maximum of 2 source sessions
The workaround is to reboot the switch stack.
•
CSCsi63999
Changing the spanning tree mode from rapid STP to MSTP can cause tracebacks when the virtual port error-disable feature is enabled when the STP mode is changed.
There is no workaround.
•
CSCsi65551 (Only Catalyst 3750-E switches)
In certain situations, during master switch failover, a VLAN that has been error disabled on a port might be re-enabled after the master switchover, even though the port has not been configured for automatic recovery.
There is no workaround.
•
CSCsi67680 platforms
When unicast routing is disabled and then re-enabled, virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) routing is disabled on the switch interfaces.
The workaround is to enter the shut and no shut interface configuration commands on the affected interfaces.
•
CSCsi70454
The configuration file used for the configuration replacement feature requires the character string end\n at the end of the file. The Windows Notepad text editor does not add the end\n string, and the configuration rollback does not work.
These are the workarounds. (You only need to do one of these.)
–
Do not use a configuration file that is stored by or edited with Windows Notepad.
–
Manually add the character string end\n to the end of the file.
The workaround is to configure routed IPv4 multicast and IPv6 unicast traffic in different switch ports.
•
CSCsi71768
If you upgrade the software image from Cisco IOS Release 12.2(25)SEE2 to Cisco IOS Release 12.2(35)SE1, the IPv6 static routes are in the switch configuration but might not be in the routing table.
The workaround is to specify the egress interface on the IPv6 static route
•
CSCsi73653 (Only Catalyst 3750-E switches)
After a stack-master failover, switch ports in the stack cannot detect new devices. This only affects new devices connected to the switch ports. Devices that were connected to active ports before the failover remain in a trusted state.
There is no workaround.
•
CSCsj10198
When a per-port per-VLAN policy map (a hierarchical VLAN-based policy map) is attached to a VLAN interface, and you remove the child-policy policer from the policy map and then add it back, the policy map fails to re-attach to the same SVI
The workaround is to delete the child policy, which removes it from the parent policy. Then recreate the child policy (with the same or a different name) and reference it in the parent policy. The parent policy then successfully attaches to the SVI.
•
CSCsj22678
A delay can occur you remove an access control list (ACL) from a switch stack under these conditions:
–
A QoS, per-port policy map is attached to a large number of switched virtual interfaces (SVIs) in the stack.
–
A per-VLAN QoS, per-port policer policy map is attached to a large number of switched virtual interfaces (SVIs) in the stack
–
The ACL to be removed is being used by the policy map.
–
There are three or more switches in the stack.
The delay can increase, up to 30 minutes, depending on the number of SVIs that are attached to the policy map. The delay does not affect the operation of the policy-map. However, either of these workarounds will reduce the length of the delay:
–
Remove the access control entries (ACEs) from the destination ACL, leaving the ACL empty. (The effect is the same as removing the ACL itself.)
–
Detach the affected policy-map(s) from all the attached VLAN(s) and SVIs, remove the ACL from the policy-map(s), and then reattach the policy-map(s) back to the original SVIs.
•
CSCsj77933
In Cisco IOS Release 12.2(35)SE and Cisco IOS Release 12.2(37)SE, if you enter a space before a comma in the define interface-range or the interface range global configuration command, the space before the comma is not saved in the switch configuration.
There is no workaround.
•
CSCsk09459 (Only Catalyst 3750-E switches)
When a switch stack boots up, one or more traceback messages may appear on the switch console when the switch stack has these conditions:
–
400 or more VLANs
–
M ulticast or port-security feature enabled
–
CPU utilization percentage is very high
The workaround is to execute clear ip mds linecard [<num>| *] to re-trigger the multicast information download from Route Processor to Line Card. This should be executed after the VLAN database is in sync across the stack.
•
CSCsk19926 - (Only Catalyst 3750-E switches)
Traffic is not received on a member port in a switch stack under these conditions:
–
The port is in a cross-stack EtherChannel.
–
One or more of the master switch Cisco TwinGig Converter Module ports are in the cross-stack EtherChannel.
–
This member switch has been reloaded.
The workaround is to enter the shutdown and no shutdown interface configuration commands on the affected interface, or to reload the entire stack instead of a single member switch.
Resolved Caveats
This section describes the caveats that have been resolved in this release:
•
CSCsb85001 (Only Catalyst 3750-E switches)
•
If traffic is passing through a VLAN Membership Policy Server (VMPS) port and you enter the shut interface configuration command on the port, a dynamic VLAN is now correctly assigned. In previous releases, the VLAN was not assigned, and a VLAN with a null ID appeared instead.
•
CSCse51203 (Only Catalyst 3750-E switches)
When the interface range global configuration command and then the ip arp inspection trust interface configuration command are configured on a large number of ports on multiple stack members, this message no longer appears:
PLATFORM_RPC-3-MSG_THROTTLED: RPC Msg Dropped by throttle mechanism: type 5, class 45, max_msg 32, total throttled 17•
CSCse88619 (Only Catalyst 3750-E switches)
The system message HPSECURE-6-ADDR_REMOVED no longer appears for a switch stack under these conditions:
–
Port security is enabled on at least one port.
–
Some secure addresses exist in the switch stack.
–
A new member joins a switch stack.
•
CSCsf32504 (Only Catalyst 3750-E switches)
When multiple switches are added to a running switch stack, a long delay can occur between the time that the switches enter the Ready state (as shown by the output of the show switch command) and the time that link detection becomes active and the switch starts carrying traffic.
This delay might last for several minutes. However, the delay is shorter than in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(40)SE and earlier. In those releases, a delay of up to 10 minutes could occur when multiple members were added to an active switch stack.
•
CSCsg21537
MAC addresses learned on an EtherChannel port are no longer deleted from the MAC address table even when the MAC-address-table aging timeout value is longer than the ARP timeout value.
•
CSCsg62919 (Only Catalyst 3750-E switches)
Clearing secure addresses by entering the clear port-security global configuration command in a stack member no longer causes traffic to be dropped from the switch.
•
CSCsg70039
When both an authorized data domain and an authorized voice domain are present on a port and you change the port VLAN configuration to equal the assigned VLAN, a traceback error no longer appears.
•
CSCsg81185
The switch correctly shows that the DATA domain is in guest-VLAN when a non-IEEE 802.1x capable PC is connected behind an IP phone on a port that:
–
Has multidomain authentication (MDA) enabled.
–
Has IEEE 802.1x guest VLAN configured.
–
Does not have MAC authentication bypass (MAB) configured.
•
CSCsi08513
MAC flap-notification no longer occurs when a switch is running VLAN bridge spanning-tree protocol (STP) and fallback bridging is configured on the VLANs running STP.
•
CSCsi10584
Multiple Spanning-Tree Protocol (MSTP) convergence time has been improved for Cisco IOS Release 12.2.
•
CSCsi19758
When unicast Reverse Path Forwarding (uRPF) is configured in strict mode and the return path is statically configured to point to an interface that is not an ingress interface, packets are dropped as expected. The switch now correctly increments the relevant hardware counter and not the software counter.
•
CSCsi27545
When port security is configured on a PVLAN interface, the dynamic MAC address is removed from the interface as expected.
•
CSCsi57905
During switch configuration, an error message no longer appears under either of these conditions:
–
When you configure two SPAN source sessions and an RSPAN destination session on a standalone switch and then modify the session RPSPAN VLAN.
–
When you configure an RPSAN destination session and two source sessions on the switch and a stack master failover occurs.
•
CSCsi66554
The SNMP bridge object dot1dStpRootPort now shows the stack switch root port number instead of the stack port ID of the member switch.
•
CSCsi74526 (Only Catalyst 3750-E switches)
When removing a member switch from the stack and you enter the show tech-support privileged EXEC command or the show interfaces privileged EXEC command, the switch no longer resets.
•
CSCsi81369
The switch now sends an EAP success packet to the client after a IEEE 802.1x multidomain authentication port t successfully reauthenticates.

Updates to the Getting Started Guides
These are the updates to the Getting Started Guides for the Catalyst 3750-E and Catalyst 3560-E switches:
•
This information should be included in the "Install and Connect to Devices in the 10-Gigabit Ethernet Slots" section:
–
When you install or remove the converter module, the mode on the switch changes from 10-Gigabit Ethernet to Gigabit Ethernet or the reverse. During this mode change, data traffic on the other switch uplink ports (X2 transceiver or SFP module ports) might temporarily stop. When you install or remove an X2 transceiver or SFP module, traffic delay does not occur.
•
This information should be included in the "Troubleshooting Express Setup" section:
–
POST errors are usually fatal. Contact your Cisco technical support representative if your switch fails POST.
Updates to the Software Configuration Guide
These sections contain the updates to the Software Configuration Guide for the Catalyst 3750-E and Catalyst 3560-E switches:

•
Unsupported Embedded Event Manager Commands
EIGRP Routing Note
If the switch is running the IP base feature set, you can configure complete EIGRP routing. However, the configuration is not implemented because the IP base feature set supports only EIGRP stub routing, as described in the "Configuring IP Unicast Routing" chapter of the software configuration guide.
After you have entered the eigrp stub router configuration command, only the eigrp stub connected summary command takes effect. Although the CLI help might show the receive-only and static keywords and you can enter these keywords, the switch running the IP base image always behaves as if the connected and summary keywords were configured.
Configuring Source-Specific Multicast
This section describes how to configure source-specific multicast (SSM). For a complete description of the SSM commands in this section, refer to the "IP Multicast Routing Commands" chapter of the Cisco IOS IP Command Reference, Volume 3 of 3: Multicast. To locate documentation for other commands that appear in this chapter, use the command reference master index, or search online.
The SSM feature is an extension of IP multicast in which datagram traffic is forwarded to receivers from only those multicast sources that the receivers have explicitly joined. For multicast groups configured for SSM, only SSM distribution trees (no shared trees) are created.
SSM Components Overview
SSM is a datagram delivery model that best supports one-to-many applications, also known as broadcast applications. SSM is a core networking technology for the Cisco implementation of IP multicast solutions targeted for audio and video broadcast application environments. The switch supports these components that support the implementation of SSM:
•
Protocol independent multicast source-specific mode (PIM-SSM)
PIM-SSM is the routing protocol that supports the implementation of SSM and is derived from PIM sparse mode (PIM-SM).
•
Internet Group Management Protocol version 3 (IGMPv3)
To run SSM with IGMPv3, SSM must be supported in the Cisco IOS router, the host where the application is running, and the application itself.
How SSM Differs from Internet Standard Multicast
The current IP multicast infrastructure in the Internet and many enterprise intranets is based on the PIM-SM protocol and Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP). These protocols have the limitations of the Internet Standard Multicast (ISM) service model. For example, with ISM, the network must maintain knowledge about which hosts in the network are actively sending multicast traffic.
The ISM service consists of the delivery of IP datagrams from any source to a group of receivers called the multicast host group. The datagram traffic for the multicast host group consists of datagrams with an arbitrary IP unicast source address S and the multicast group address G as the IP destination address. Systems receive this traffic by becoming members of the host group.
Membership in a host group simply requires signalling the host group through IGMP version 1, 2, or 3. In SSM, delivery of datagrams is based on (S, G) channels. In both SSM and ISM, no signalling is required to become a source. However, in SSM, receivers must subscribe or unsubscribe to (S, G) channels to receive or not receive traffic from specific sources. In other words, receivers can receive traffic only from (S, G) channels to which they are subscribed, whereas in ISM, receivers need not know the IP addresses of sources from which they receive their traffic. The proposed standard approach for channel subscription signalling use IGMP include mode membership reports, which are supported only in IGMP version 3.
SSM IP Address Range
SSM can coexist with the ISM service by applying the SSM delivery model to a configured subset of the IP multicast group address range. Cisco IOS software allows SSM configuration for the IP multicast address range of 224.0.0.0 through 239.255.255.255. When an SSM range is defined, existing IP multicast receiver applications do not receive any traffic when they try to use an address in the SSM range (unless the application is modified to use an explicit (S, G) channel subscription).
SSM Operations
An established network, in which IP multicast service is based on PIM-SM, can support SSM services. SSM can also be deployed alone in a network without the full range of protocols that are required for interdomain PIM-SM (for example, MSDP, Auto-RP, or bootstrap router [BSR]) if only SSM service is needed.
If SSM is deployed in a network already configured for PIM-SM, only the last-hop routers support SSM. Routers that are not directly connected to receivers do not require support for SSM. In general, these not-last-hop routers must only run PIM-SM in the SSM range and might need additional access control configuration to suppress MSDP signalling, registering, or PIM-SM shared tree operations from occurring within the SSM range.
Use the ip pim ssm global configuration command to configure the SSM range and to enable SSM. This configuration has the following effects:
•
For groups within the SSM range, (S, G) channel subscriptions are accepted through IGMPv3 include-mode membership reports.
•
PIM operations within the SSM range of addresses change to PIM-SSM, a mode derived from PIM-SM. In this mode, only PIM (S, G) join and prune messages are generated by the router, and no (S, G) rendezvous point tree (RPT) or (*, G) RPT messages are generated. Incoming messages related to RPT operations are ignored or rejected, and incoming PIM register messages are immediately answered with register-stop messages. PIM-SSM is backward-compatible with PIM-SM unless a router is a last-hop router. Therefore, routers that are not last-hop routers can run PIM-SM for SSM groups (for example, if they do not yet support SSM).
•
No MSDP source-active (SA) messages within the SSM range are accepted, generated, or forwarded.
IGMPv3 Host Signalling
In IGMPv3, hosts signal membership to last hop routers of multicast groups. Hosts can signal group membership with filtering capabilities with respect to sources. A host can either signal that it wants to receive traffic from all sources sending to a group except for some specific sources (called exclude mode), or that it wants to receive traffic only from some specific sources sending to the group (called include mode).
IGMPv3 can operate with both ISM and SSM. In ISM, both exclude and include mode reports are applicable. In SSM, only include mode reports are accepted by the last-hop router. Exclude mode reports are ignored.
Configuration Guidelines
This section contains the guidelines for configuring SSM.
Legacy Applications Within the SSM Range Restrictions
Existing applications in a network predating SSM do not work within the SSM range unless they are modified to support (S, G) channel subscriptions. Therefore, enabling SSM in a network can cause problems for existing applications if they use addresses within the designated SSM range.
Address Management Restrictions
Address management is still necessary to some degree when SSM is used with Layer 2 switching mechanisms. Cisco Group Management Protocol (CGMP), IGMP snooping, or Router-Port Group Management Protocol (RGMP) support only group-specific filtering, not (S, G) channel-specific filtering. If different receivers in a switched network request different (S, G) channels sharing the same group, they do not benefit from these existing mechanisms. Instead, both receivers receive all (S, G) channel traffic and filter out the unwanted traffic on input. Because SSM can re-use the group addresses in the SSM range for many independent applications, this situation can lead to decreased traffic filtering in a switched network. For this reason, it is important to use random IP addresses from the SSM range for an application to minimize the chance for re-use of a single address within the SSM range between different applications. For example, an application service providing a set of television channels should, even with SSM, use a different group for each television (S, G) channel. This setup guarantees that multiple receivers to different channels within the same application service never experience traffic aliasing in networks that include Layer 2 switches.
IGMP Snooping and CGMP Limitations
IGMPv3 uses new membership report messages that might not be correctly recognized by older IGMP snooping switches. For more information about switching issues related to IGMP (especially with CGMP), refer to the "Configuring IGMP Version 3" section of the "Configuring IP Multicast Routing" chapter.
State Maintenance Limitations
In PIM-SSM, the last hop router continues to periodically send (S, G) join messages if appropriate (S, G) subscriptions are on the interfaces. Therefore, as long as receivers send (S, G) subscriptions, the shortest path tree (SPT) state from the receivers to the source is maintained, even if the source does not send traffic for longer periods of time (or even never).
This case is opposite to PIM-SM, where (S, G) state is maintained only if the source is sending traffic and receivers are joining the group. If a source stops sending traffic for more than 3 minutes in PIM-SM, the (S, G) state is deleted and only re-established after packets from the source arrive again through the RPT. Because no mechanism in PIM-SSM notifies a receiver that a source is active, the network must maintain the (S, G) state in PIM-SSM as long as receivers are requesting receipt of that channel.

Configuring Embedded Event Manager (New Chapter)
This chapter describes how to use the embedded event manager (EEM) to monitor and manage the Catalyst 3750-E or 3560-E switch and how to configure it. (For the Catalyst 3750-E switch, the term switch refers to a standalone switch or a switch stack unless otherwise noted.)
Note
For complete syntax and usage information for the commands used in this chapter, see the command reference for this release and the Cisco IOS Configuration Fundamentals and Network Management Command Reference, Release 12.3T. For complete configuration information, see the Cisco IOS Network Management Configuration Guide, Release 12.4T.
This chapter consists of these sections:

Displaying Embedded Event Manager Information
Understanding Embedded Event Manager
The embedded event manager (EEM) monitors key system events and then acts on them though a set policy. This policy is a programmed script that you can use to customize a script to invoke an action based on a given set of events occurring. The script generates actions such as generating custom syslog or Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) traps, invoking CLI commands, forcing a failover, and so forth. The event management capabilities of EEM are useful because not all event management can be managed from the switch and because some problems compromise communication between the switch and the external network management device. Network availability is improved.if automatic recovery actions are performed without rebooting the switch,
Figure 0-1 shows the relationship between the EEM server, the core event publishers (event detectors), and the event subscribers (policies). The event publishers screen events and when there is a match on an event specification that is provided by the event subscriber. Event detectors notify the EEM server when an event occurs. The EEM policies then implement recovery based on the current state of the system and the actions specified in the policy for the given event.
Figure 0-1 Embedded Event Manager Core Event Detectors
These sections contain this conceptual information:
•
Embedded Event Manager Actions
•
Embedded Event Manager Policies
•
Embedded Event Manager Environment Variables
Event Detectors
EEM software programs known as event detectors determine when an EEM event occurs. Event detectors are separate systems that provide an interface between the agent being monitored, for example SNMP, and the EEM polices where an action can be implemented. Event detectors are generated only by the master switch. CLI and routing processes also run only from the master switch.
Note
On a Catalyst 3750-E switch stack, the stack member switch does not generate events and does not support memory threshold notifications or IOSWdSysmon event detectors.
EEM allows these event detectors:
•
Application-specific event detector- Allows any EEM policy to publish an event.
•
IOS CLI event detector- Generates policies based on the commands entered through the CLI.
•
GOLD event detector- Publishes an event when a GOLD failure event is detected on a specified card and subcard.
•
Counter event detector-Publishes an event when a named counter crosses a specified threshold.
•
Interface counter event detector- Publishes an event when a generic Cisco IOS interface counter for a specified interface crosses a defined threshold. A threshold can be specified as an absolute value or an incremental value.For example, if the incremental value is set to 50 an event would be published when the interface counter increases by 50.
•
None event detector- Publishes an event when the event manager run CLI command executes an EEM policy. EEM schedules and runs policies on the basis on an event specification within the policy itself. An EEM policy must be manually identified and registered before the event manager run command executes.
•
Online insertion and removal event detector-Publishes an event when a hardware insertion or removal (OIR) event occurs.
•
Resource threshold event detector- Generates policies based on global platform values and thresholds. Includes resources such as CPU utilization and remaining buffer capacity. Applies only to the master switch.
•
SNMP event detector- Allows a standard SNMP MIB object to be monitored and an event to be generated when the object matches specified values or crosses specified thresholds.
•
Syslog event detector- Allows for screening syslog messages for a regular expression pattern match. The selected messages can be further qualified, requiring that a specific number of occurrences be logged within a specified time. A match on a specified event criteria triggers a configured policy action.
•
Timer event detector
Publishes events for these timers:
–
An absolute-time-of-day timer publishes an event when a specified absolute date and time occurs.
–
A countdown timer publishes an event when a timer counts down to zero.
–
A watchdog timer publishes an event when a timer counts down to zero. The timer automatically resets itself to its initial value and starts to count down again.
–
A CRON timer publishes an event by using a UNIX standard CRON specification to define when the event is to be published. A CRON timer never publishes events more than once per minute.
•
Watchdog event detector (IOSWDSysMon). This detector applies only to the master switch.
Publishes an event when one of these events occurs:
–
CPU utilization for a Cisco IOS process crosses a threshold.
–
Memory utilization for a Cisco IOS process crosses a threshold.
Two events can be monitored at the same time, and the event publishing criteria requires that one or both events cross their specified thresholds.
Embedded Event Manager Actions
EEM provides actions that occur in response to an event. EEM supports these actions:
•
Modifying a named counter.
•
Publishing an application-specific event.
•
Generating an SNMP trap.
•
Generating prioritized syslog messages.
•
Reloading the Cisco IOS software.
•
Reloading the switch stack. (Catalyst 3750-E only)
•
Reloading the master switch in the event of a master switchover. If this occurs, a new master switch is elected.
Embedded Event Manager Policies
EEM can monitor events and provide information, or take corrective action when the monitored events occur or a threshold is reached. An EEM policy is an entity that defines an event and the actions to be taken when that event occurs.
There are two types of EEM policies: an applet or a script. An applet is a simple policy that is defined within the CLI configuration. It is a concise method for defining event screening criteria and the actions to be taken when that event occurs. Scripts are defined on the networking device by using an ASCII editor. The script is then copied to the networking device and registered with EEM.
You use EEM to write and implement your own policies using the EEM policy tool command language (TCL) script. When you configure a TCL script on the master switch and the file is automatically sent to the member switches. The user-defined TCL scripts must be available in the member switches so that if the master switch changes, the TCL scripts policies continue to work.
Cisco enhancements to TCL in the form of keyword extensions facilitate the development of EEM policies. These keywords identify the detected event, the subsequent action, utility information, counter values, and system information.
For complete information on configuring EEM policies and scripts, see the Cisco IOS Network Management Configuration Guide, Release 12.4T.
Embedded Event Manager Environment Variables
EEM uses environment variables in EEM policies. These variables are defined in a EEM policy tool command language (TCL) script by running a CLI command and the event manager environment command. These environment variables can be defined in EEM:
•
User-defined variables
Defined by the user for a user-defined policy.
•
Cisco-defined variables
Defined by Cisco for a specific sample policy.
•
Cisco built-in variables (available in EEM applets)
Defined by Cisco and can be read-only or read-write. The read-only variables are set by the system before an applet starts to execute. The single read-write variable, _exit_status, allows you to set the exit status for policies triggered from synchronous events.
Cisco-defined environment variables and Cisco system-defined environment variables might apply to one specific event detector or to all event detectors. Environment variables that are user-defined or defined by Cisco in a sample policy are set by using the event manager environment global configuration command. You must defined the variables in the EEM policy before you register the policy.
For information about the environmental variables that EEM supports, see the Cisco IOS Network Management Configuration Guide, Release 12.4T.
Configuring Embedded Event Manager
These sections contain this configuration information:
•
Registering and Defining an Embedded Event Manager Applet
•
Registering and Defining an Embedded Event Manager TCL Script
For complete information about configuring embedded event manager, see the Cisco IOS Network Management Configuration Guide, Release 12.4T.
Registering and Defining an Embedded Event Manager Applet
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, perform this task to register an applet with EEM and to define the EEM applet using the event applet and action applet configuration commands.
Note
Only one event applet command is allowed in an EEM applet. Multiple action applet commands are permitted. If you do not specify the no event and no action commands, the applet is removed when you exit configuration mode.
This example shows the output for EEM when one of the fields specified by an SNMP object ID crosses a defined threshold:
Switch(config-applet)# event snmp oid 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.48.1.1.1.6.1 get-type exact entry-op lt entry-val 5120000 poll-interval 10These examples show actions that are taken in response to an EEM event:Switch(config-applet)# action 1.0 syslog priority critical msg "Memory exhausted; current available memory is $_snmp_oid_val bytes"Switch (config-applet)# action 2.0 force-switchoverRegistering and Defining an Embedded Event Manager TCL Script
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, perform this task to register a TCL script with EEM and to define the TCL script and policy commands.
This example shows the sample output for the show event manager environment command:
Switch# show event manager environment allNo. Name Value1 _cron_entry 0-59/2 0-23/1 * * 0-62 _show_cmd show ver3 _syslog_pattern .*UPDOWN.*Ethernet1/0.*4 _config_cmd1 interface Ethernet1/05 _config_cmd2 no shutThis example shows a CRON timer environment variable, which is assigned by the software, to be set to every second minute, every hour of every day:
Switch (config)# event manager environment_cron_entry 0-59/2 0-23/1 * * 0-6This example shows the sample EEM policy named tm_cli_cmd.tcl registered as a system policy. The system policies are part of the Cisco IOS image. User-defined TCL scripts must first be copied to flash memory.Switch (config)# event manager policy tm_cli_cmd.tcl type systemDisplaying Embedded Event Manager Information

Updates to the Command References
These are the updates to the Command Reference for the Catalyst 3750-E and Catalyst 3560-E switches:
•
The usage guidelines for the set and unset bootloader commands in the command reference is incorrect.
These are the correct usage guidelines for the set command:
Environment variables are case sensitive and must be entered as documented.
Environment variables that have values are stored in flash memory outside of the flash file system.
Under normal circumstances, it is not necessary to alter the setting of the environment variables.
The MANUAL_BOOT environment variable can also be set by using the boot manual global configuration command.
The BOOT environment variable can also be set by using the boot system filesystem:/file-url global configuration command.
The ENABLE_BREAK environment variable can also be set by using the boot enable-break global configuration command.
The HELPER environment variable can also be set by using the boot helper filesystem:/file-url global configuration command.
The CONFIG_FILE environment variable can also be set by using the boot config-file flash:/file-url global configuration command.
The HELPER_CONFIG_FILE environment variable can also be set by using the boot helper-config-file filesystem:/file-url global configuration command.
The HELPER_CONFIG_FILE environment variable can also be set by using the boot helper-config-file filesystem:/file-url global configuration command.
The SWITCH_NUMBER environment variable can also be set by using the switch current-stack-member-number renumber new-stack-member-number global configuration command.
The SWITCH_PRIORITY environment variable can also be set by using the switch stack-member-number priority priority-number global configuration command.
The bootloader prompt string (PS1) can be up to 120 printable characters except the equal sign (=).
These are the correct guidelines for the unset command:
Under normal circumstances, it is not necessary to alter the setting of the environment variables.
The MANUAL_BOOT environment variable can also be reset by using the no boot manual global configuration command.
The BOOT environment variable can also be reset by using the no boot system global configuration command.
The ENABLE_BREAK environment variable can also be reset by using the no boot enable-break global configuration command.
