Cisco IOS Software Packaging for IOS 3.2.0SG

The Enterprise Services image supports all Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series software features based on Cisco IOS Software, including enhanced routing.

The IP Base image supports Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) for Routed Access and Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) "limited" Stub Routing, and RIPv1/v2. The IP Base image does not support enhanced routing features such as Nonstop Forwarding/Stateful Switchover (NSF/SSO), BGP, Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS), Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX), AppleTalk, Virtual Routing Forwarding (VRF-lite), GLBP, and policy-based routing (PBR).

LAN Base image is primarily focused on customer access and Layer 2 requirements and therefore many of the IP Base features are not required. The IP upgrade image is available if at a later date you require some of those features.

Starting with Cisco IOS XE 3.2.0SG, support for HSRP v2 IPV6 has been extended from Enterprise Services to IP Base.

Cisco IOS XE to Cisco IOS Version Number Mapping

Upgrading the System Software

If you are upgrading to 3.2.0SG, you must upgrade your ROMMON to 15.0(1r)SG2.

For details on the ROMMON upgrade process, refer to Chapter  "." Note that you can upgrade a ROMMON image either through a console or telnet.

If they have dual supervisors, first upgrade your software to 3.2.0SG, then upgrade your ROMMON to 15.0(1r)SG2 to avoid the resets uplinks issue (CSCtj54375).

Identifying an +E Chassis and ROMMON

An +E chassis is identified by a FRU minor value in the chassis' idprom.

When supervisor engine 1 (sup1) is in ROMMON and supervisor engine 2 (sup2) is in IOS, only sup2 can read the idprom contents of chassis' idprom. Chassis type is displayed as "+E" in the output of the show version command. Conversely, sup1 can only display the chassis type as "E."

When both sup1 and sup2 are in ROMMON, both engines can read the chassis' idprom. Chassis type is displayed correctly as "+E" in the output of the show version command.

When both sup1 and sup2 are in IOS, both engines can read the chassis' idprom. Chassis type is displayed correctly as "+E" in the output of the show version command.

Limitations and Restrictions

These sections list the limitations and restrictions for the current release of Cisco IOS software on the Catalyst 4500E series switch.

The supervisor engine front-panel management port (FastEthernet1 interface) is not supported.

The WS-X4712-SFP+E module is not supported in the WS-C4507R-E or WS-C4510R-E chassis and does not boot. This module is supported in the WS-C4503-E, WS-C4506-E, WS-C4507R+E, and WS-C4510R+E chassis.

802.1q tunneling and related features are not supported.

More than 16K QoS policies can be configured in software. Only the first 16K are installed in hardware.

Adjacency learning (through ARP response frames) is restricted to roughly 1000 new adjacencies per second, depending on CPU utilization. This should only impact large networks on the first bootup. After adjacencies are learned they are installed in hardware.

Multicast fastdrop entries are not created when RPF failure occurs with IPv6 multicast traffic. In a topology where reverse path check failure occurs with IPv6 multicast, this may cause high CPU utilization on the switch.

The SNMP ceImageFeature object returns a similar feature list for all the three license levels (LAN Base, IP Base, and EntServices). Although the activated feature set for a universal image varies based on the installed feature license, the value displayed by this object is fixed and is not based on the feature license level.

Standard TFTP implementation limits the maximum size of a file that can be transferred to 32 MB. If ROMMON is used to boot an IOS image that is larger than 32 MB, the TFTP transfer fails at the 65,xxx datagram.

TFTP numbers its datagrams with a 16 bit field, resulting in a maximum of 65,536 datagrams. Because each TFTP datagram is 512 bytes long, the maximum transferable file is 65536 x 512 = 32 MB. If both the TFTP client (ROMMON) and the TFTP server support block number wraparound, no size limitation exists.

Cisco has modified the TFTP client to support block number wraparound. So, if you encounter a transfer failure, use a TFTP server that supports TFTP block number wraparound. Because most implementations of TFTP support block number wraparound, updating the TFTP daemon should fix the issue.

A XML-PI specification file entry does not return the desired CLI output.

The outputs of certain commands, such as show ip route and show access-lists, contain non-deterministic text. While the output is easily understood, the output text does not contain strings that are consistently output. A general purpose specification file entry is unable to parse all possible output.

Workaround (1):

While a general purpose specification file entry may not be possible, a specification file entry might be created that returns the desired text by searching for text that is guaranteed to be in the output. If a string is guaranteed to be in the output, it can be used for parsing.

For example, the output of the show ip access-lists SecWiz_Gi3_17_out_ip command is this:

    Extended IP access list SecWiz_Gi3_17_out_ip
        10 deny ip 76.0.0.0 0.255.255.255 host 65.65.66.67
        20 deny ip 76.0.0.0 0.255.255.255 host 44.45.46.47
        30 permit ip 76.0.0.0 0.255.255.255 host 55.56.57.57

The first line is easily parsed because access list is guaranteed to be in the output:

    <Property name="access list" alias="Name" distance="1.0" length="-1" type="String" 
/>

The remaining lines all contain the term host. As a result, the specification file may report the desired values by specifying that string. For example, this line

<Property name="host" alias="rule" distance="s.1" length="1" type="String" />

will produce the following for the first and second rules

    <rule>
        deny
    </rule>

and the following for the third statement

    <rule>
        permit
    <rule>

Workaround (2):

Request the output of the show running-config command using NETCONF and parse that output for the desired strings. This is useful when the desired lines contain nothing in common. For example, the rules in this access list do not contain a common string and the order (three permits, then a deny, then another permit), prevent the spec file entry from using permit as a search string, as in the following example:

    Extended MAC access list MACCOY 
        permit 0000.0000.ffef ffff.ffff.0000 0000.00af.bcef ffff.ff00.0000 appletalk
        permit any host 65de.edfe.fefe xns-idp
        permit any any protocol-family rarp-non-ipv4
        deny   host 005e.1e5d.9f7d host 3399.e3e1.ff2c dec-spanning
        permit any any

The XML output of show running-config command includes the following, which can then be parsed programmatically, as desired:

    
<mac><access-list><extended><ACLName>MACCOY</ACLName></extended></access-list></mac>
    <X-Interface> permit 0000.0000.ffef ffff.ffff.0000 0000.00af.bcef ffff.ff00.0000 
appletalk</X-Interface>
    <X-Interface> permit any host 65de.edfe.fefe xns-idp</X-Interface>
    <X-Interface> permit any any protocol-family rarp-non-ipv4</X-Interface>
    <X-Interface> deny   host 005e.1e5d.9f7d host 3399.e3e1.ff2c 
dec-spanning</X-Interface>
    <X-Interface> permit any any</X-Interface>

When attaching a existing policy-map (that is already applied to a control-port) to another front-panel port, the following message displays:

The policymap <policy-map name> is already attached to control-plane and cannot be 
shared with other targets.

Workaround: Define a policy-map with a different name and then reattach. CSCti26172

If the number of unique FNF monitors attached to target exceeds 2048 (one per target), a switch responds slowly:

Workarounds:

Decrease the number of monitors.

Attach the same monitor to multiple targets. CSCti43798

ciscoFlashPartitionFileCount object returns an incorrect file count for bootflash:, usb0:, slot0:, slaveslot0:, slavebootflash:, and slaveusb0:.

Workaround: Use the dir device command (for example, dir bootflash:) to obtain the correct file count. CSCti74130

If multicast is configured and you make changes to the configuration, Traceback and CPUHOG messages are displayed if the following conditions exist:

At least 10K groups and roughly 20K mroutes exist.

IGMP joins with source traffic transit to all the multicast groups.

This is caused by the large number of updates generating SPI messages that must be processed by the CPU to ensure that the platform is updated with the changes in all the entries.

Workaround: None. CSCti20312

When attaching a existing policy-map (that is already applied to a control-port) to another front-panel port, following message displays:

The policymap <policy-map name> is already attached to control-plane and cannot be 
shared with other targets.

Workaround: Define a policy-map with a different name and then reattach. CSCti26172

With traffic running, entering clear ip mroute * with larger number of mroutes and over 6 OIFs will cause Malloc Fail messages to display.

You cannot clear a large number of mroutes at one time when traffic is still running.

Workaround: Do not clear all mroutes at once.

CSCtn06753

Although you can configure subsecond PIM query intervals on Catalyst 4500 platforms, such an action represents a compromise between convergence (reaction time) and a number of other factors (number of mroutes, base line of CPU utilization, CPU speed, processing overhead per 1 m-route, etc.). You must account for those factors when configuring subsecond PIM timers. We recommend that you set the PIM query interval to a minimum of 2 seconds. By adjusting the available parameters, you can achieve flawless operation; that is, a top number of multicast routes per given convergence time on a specific setup.

With Cisco IOS Release XE 3.2.1SG, memory configuration is enabled:

Switch(config)# memory ?
  chunk    chunk related configuration
  free     free memory low water mark
  record   configure memory event/traceback recording options
  reserve  reserve memory
  sanity   Enable memory sanity

This configuration had been removed erroneously in a prior release.

A switch crashes after displaying the message:

%AUTHMGR-7-RESULT: Authentication result 'success' from 'dot1x' for client (Unknown 
MAC) on Interface Gi5/39 AuditSessionID AC156241000000670001BC9.

provided the following conditions apply:

A switchport is configured with the following:

authentication event server dead action authorize...

authenticaton event server alive action reinitalize

The RADIUS server was down previously, and a port without traffic (for example, a hub with no devices attached) was authorized into the inaccessible authentication bypass (IAB) VLAN without an associated MAC address.

The RADIUS server becomes available again, and the IAB-authorized port transitions to another state.

Workaround: None. CSCtx61557

Caveats

Caveats describe unexpected behavior in Cisco IOS releases. Caveats listed as open in a prior release are carried forward to the next release as either open or resolved.

Open Caveats for Cisco IOS XE Release 3.2.7SG

This section lists the open caveats for Cisco IOS XE Release 3.2.7SG:

When collecting data from the cpmCPUProcessHistoryTable, the data takes a long time to provide and the CPU utilization of the os_info_p process (OS Info provider) increases substantially. The time it takes to do a full walk of an almost fully populated table takes 68 minutes.

Workaround: None. CSCth42248

The show ipv6 access-list command displays incorrect match counts when multicast traffic is matched to an IPv6 access-list attached to an SVI.

This problem affects the Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series Supervisor 7E.

Workaround: None. CSCth65129

When either the RADIUS-server test feature or RADIUS-erver dead-criteria is configured and either RADIUS-server deadtime is not configured or is set to 0, the RADIUS-server status is not properly relayed to AAA.

Workaround: Configure both dead-criteria and deadtime.

radius-server dead-criteria
radius-server deadtime

CSCtl06706

When spanning tree is changed from PVST to Rapid PVST and you enter the show spanning-tree vlan command, the ports configured as promiscuous trunks are not listed as part of the spanning tree.

Workaround: Enter shut, then no shut on the ports. CSCtn88228

Unless you enter the show mem detailed process command on a Supervisor Engine 7-E switch, the parser chain is not displayed.

Workaround: Enter the complete command string:

show mem detailed process cli_agent 

CSCtj05663

If you configure Open Authentication and perform SSO, the spanning tree state and MAC address are not synchronized to the new standby supervisor engine. The issue interrupts traffic only after the second switchover, because after the initial switchover the new standby supervisor engine possesses the wrong state, and the second switchover will start the port in the blocking state.

Workaround: Enter shut, and then no shut on the port to synchronize the STP state. CSCtf52437

If you reboot a switch, the configured value of interface MTU size on the members of port-channel interface does not function for IPv6 traffic.

Workaround: After the switch reloads, enter shut, then no shut on the port-channel interface.

CSCto27085

If you enter the clear ip mroute ? command, only the vrf option is displayed. The Hostname and ' * ' options are not displayed, although they are accepted by the system, and the clear ip mroute command functions as expected.

Workaround: None. CSCto59368

On Supervisor Engine 7-E, DBL might not funciton at queue limits less than or equal to 128.

Workaround: Increase the queue limit to at least 256. CSCto57602

If you use the quick option in the issu changeversion command, the following might occur:

Links flap for various Layer 3 protocols.

A traffic loss of several seconds occurs during the upgrade process.

Workaround: Do not use the quick option with the issu changeversion command.

CSCto51562

A device in a Guest VLAN that is connected behind a phone capable of 2nd-port-TLV, experiences packet loss following a SSO failover. The device experiences an authentication restart after the first CDP frame arrives from the phone.

Workaround: None. CSCto46018

Dynamic ACLs do not function correctly if they include advanced operators, including dscp/ipp/tos, log/log-input, fragments and/or tcp flag operators.

Workaround: Remove these operators from any dynamic ACLs. CSCts05302

If you perform an OIR on a linecard, several %C4K_RKNOVA-4-INVALIDTOKENEXPIRED messages appear in the logs.

Workaround: None. CSCtu37959

On a redundant system consisting of supervisor engines 6-E and 7-E, when the system consumes considerable memory (for example, with heavy multicast traffic), a crash may occur. This event is due to a memory mismatch between the two supervisor engines.

Workaround: Upgrade the memory of Supervisor Engine 6-E to match that of Supervisor Engine 7-E.

Configuring an interface as uni-directional with the unidirectional send-only | receive-only command still allows the interface to send (configured as "Send-only Unidirection Ethernet mode") or receive (configured as "Receive-only Unidirection Ethernet mode") packets in a bi-directional mode.

Workaround: None. CSCtx95359

Resolved Caveats for Cisco IOS XE Release 3.2.7SG

Resolved Caveats for Cisco IOS XE Release 3.2.6SG

This section lists the resolved caveats for Cisco IOS XE Release 3.2.6SG:

A %SYS-2-NOBLOCK or %SYS-2-BLOCKHUNG message may appear on the switch when an interface with a QoS policy changes speed at the same time information about that interface is being collected (most commonly through a CLI like the show policy-map ... command). Although the QoS policy programming might fail for that interface, no operational impact is observed.

Workaround: None. CSCtk52874

In a square Layer 2 topology (of at least four switches) where the root bridge is outside of the square (a fifth switch), one link in the square that transitions its role from alternate to root will not send topology change notifications. A stale MAC address may exist in the table until age-out.

Workaround: Reduce MAC aging time or modify Layer 2 topology so that the root is within the square. CSCtx86107

Open Caveats for Cisco IOS XE Release 3.2.1SG

This section lists the open caveats for Cisco IOS XE Release 3.2.1SG:

When collecting data from the cpmCPUProcessHistoryTable, the data takes a long time to provide and the CPU utilization of the os_info_p process (OS Info provider) increases substantially. The time it takes to do a full walk of an almost fully populated table takes 68 minutes.

Workaround: None. CSCth42248

The show ipv6 access-list command displays incorrect match counts when multicast traffic is matched to an IPv6 access-list attached to an SVI.

This problem affects the Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series Supervisor 7E.

Workaround: None. CSCth65129

When either the RADIUS-server test feature or RADIUS-erver dead-criteria is configured and either RADIUS-server deadtime is not configured or is set to 0, the RADIUS-server status is not properly relayed to AAA.

Workaround: Configure both dead-criteria and deadtime.

radius-server dead-criteria
radius-server deadtime

CSCtl06706

When spanning tree is changed from PVST to Rapid PVST and you enter the show spanning-tree vlan command, the ports configured as promiscuous trunks are not listed as part of the spanning tree.

Workaround: Enter shut, then no shut on the ports. CSCtn88228

Unless you enter the show mem detailed process command on a Supervisor Engine 7-E switch, the parser chain is not displayed.

Workaround: Enter the complete command string:

show mem detailed process cli_agent 

CSCtj05663

If you configure Open Authentication and perform SSO, the spanning tree state and MAC address are not synchronized to the new standby supervisor engine. The issue interrupts traffic only after the second switchover, because after the initial switchover the new standby supervisor engine possesses the wrong state, and the second switchover will start the port in the blocking state.

Workaround: Enter shut, and then no shut on the port to synchronize the STP state. CSCtf52437

If you reboot a switch, the configured value of interface MTU size on the members of port-channel interface does not function for IPv6 traffic.

Workaround: After the switch reloads, enter shut, then no shut on the port-channel interface.

CSCto27085

If you enter the clear ip mroute ? command, only the vrf option is displayed. The Hostname and ' * ' options are not displayed, although they are accepted by the system, and the clear ip mroute command functions as expected.

Workaround: None. CSCto59368

On Supervisor Engine 7-E, DBL might not funciton at queue limits less than or equal to 128.

Workaround: Increase the queue limit to at least 256. CSCto57602

If you use the quick option in the issu changeversion command, the following might occur:

Links flap for various Layer 3 protocols.

A traffic loss of several seconds occurs during the upgrade process.

Workaround: Do not use the quick option with the issu changeversion command.

CSCto51562

A device in a Guest VLAN that is connected behind a phone capable of 2nd-port-TLV, experiences packet loss following a SSO failover. The device experiences an authentication restart after the first CDP frame arrives from the phone.

Workaround: None. CSCto46018

If Flex link load balancing is configured on a PVLAN flex link pair and some VLANs prefer the backup interface in the pair, entering shut and then no shut on the backup flex link interface causes high cpu from SA miss events. This happens because dynamic mac address learning is broken.

The primary flex link interface comes up correctly.

Workaround: Configure static MAC address for the MAC address that must be learned dynamically on the backup flex link interface. CSCtr40070

After booting a switch with Supervisor Engine 7-E, you observe two versions of incorrect up time when using show version or show redundancy:

Workaround: None. CSCtr54218

Dynamic ACLs do not function correctly if they include advanced operators, including dscp/ipp/tos, log/log-input, fragments and/or tcp flag operators.

Workaround: Remove these operators from any dynamic ACLs. CSCts05302

If you perform an OIR on a linecard, several %C4K_RKNOVA-4-INVALIDTOKENEXPIRED messages appear in the logs.

Workaround: None. CSCtu37959

When a switch is configured for MAC Authentication Bypass (MAB) EAP and the AAA server requests EAP-TLS (as the EAP method) first, MAB fails.

Workarounds:

Configure the switch port for mab rather than mab eap.

Configure the AAA server to propose EAP-MD5 first rather than EAP-TLS for MAB EAP requests. CSCti78674

When configuring, removing, and reapplying IP SLA configuration (reapply without the history filter) and querying the rttmonhistory tree, a Catalyst4 948-10GE switch will fail.

Workaround: None. CSCtr52740

Layer 2 multicast is not switched egress with a port-channel interface after a member link or port-channel flaps.

Workaround:

1. Delete, then add the affected VLAN with no vlan vlan_ID, then lan vlan_ID.

2. Flap the impacted port-channel with shutdown, then no shutdown. CSCtr17251

Configuring and copying a TCL policy may cause a Catalyst 4500 series switch to hang.

Workaround: None. CSCto72927

One or more line cards (WS-X46xx and WS-X47xx series) stop responding to interface changes when near-simultaneous link events (if timed correctly) occur on the same linecard.

Only line cards in the WS-X46xx series and the WS-X47xx series are affected. Interfaces that are already linked-up are not affected.

Workaround: Eliminate link flap. If the problem exists, do one of the following:

Reload the linecard module with the hw-module module n reset command.

For dual supervisor engines, perform a switchover. CSCts67025

Frequent link flap can trigger a failure that causes control plane latency until the switch is reloaded. After the issue is triggered, normal traffic is forwarded without drops, but pings to or from the switch drop, and new connections to linecards come up slowly or not at all. The following error messages appear:

C4K_WATCHDOG-3-CHILDFAILURE: 
C4K_LINECARD-3-INTERRUPTDELAYED: 
C4K_LINECARD-3-INTERRUPTCOMPLETED:

Workaround: Eliminate link flap.

Provide temporary remediation with a forced supervisor engine switchover. CSCtt06131

Occasionally, when an interface with a QoS policy changes speed or when a QoS policy is being programmed on an interface, a Supervisor Engine 7 might unexpectedly encounter an FFM crash.

CSCtr28857

Rarely, an FFM crash may occur when control plane queues are slow to empty.

Workaround: None. CSCtr07852

If a Supervisor Engine 7E is running Cisco IOS Release 3.2.2SG and a considerable quantity of simultaneous ACL, QoS, or Layer 3 programming occurs (usually on switch bootup), ACL, QoS and Layer 3 changes fail to take effect from that point forward.

Workaround: None. The supervisor engine must be reloaded or failed over. CSCtw93728

On a redundant system consisting of supervisor engines 6-E and 7-E, when the system consumes considerable memory (for example, with heavy multicast traffic), a crash may occur. This event is due to a memory mismatch between the two supervisor engines.

Workaround: Upgrade the memory of Supervisor Engine 6-E to match that of Supervisor Engine 7-E.

If you use Supervisor Engine 7E or Supervisor Engine 7L-E and you enter either the show redundancy or commands beginning with the keyword redundancy, the following error displays:

Failed to find pr_handlers by uri

.Workaround: None. A reload is required to restore these commands. CSCtw95861

When you execute the show flow monitor monitor_name params top number command simultaneously from different terminals to display the top flows, the supervisor engine might crash.

Workaround: Avoid entering flexible netflow show commands from more than one terminal, when you want to display the top flows. CSCtw61872

After a switch reestablishes a lost connection with AAA servers configured for broadcast accounting, the switch crashes.

Workaround: Do not use the broadcast keyword in the aaa accounting configuration. CSCts56125

A switch configured with 802.1X might shows considerable CPU usage by the 802.1X switch process and displays the following message:

SYS-2-MALLOCFAIL messages, and - on redundant systems - begins logging EM-4-SENDFAILED 
messages,

The occurs under the following conditions:

Multi-auth (or multi-host) and MAB dot1x are configured on a port.

A voice VLAN is not configured on the port.

The device authenticates through 802.1X.

The connected device sends no traffic, falls over to MAB, and then successfully authenticates through 802.1X.

A dynamic VLAN is assigned to the port following 802.1X authorization.

Workarounds:

Enter shut then no shut on the port to halt the high CPU and log messages.

Enter the switchport voice vlan command on the port. CSCtw73754

If PoE linecards are present and you enter either the show power inline module x or show power inline module x detail command, very rarely the supervisor engine might crash.

Workaround: None. CSCtx25697

After a few hours of operation, during which DHCP is enabled and sessions receive DHCP information from a RADIUS server, a Cisco ASR router running as an LNS box crashes with DHCP related errors.

Workaround: None. CSCtj48387

Configuring an interface as uni-directional with the unidirectional send-only | receive-only command still allows the interface to send (configured as "Send-only Unidirection Ethernet mode") or receive (configured as "Receive-only Unidirection Ethernet mode") packets in a bi-directional mode.

Workaround: None. CSCtx95359

If a switch is configured with the aaa accounting send stop-record authentication failure command, and MAB fails on the port and subsequent attempts are made to authorize the device after the restart timer expires, a high level of memory usage due to the "MAB Framework" process is observed.

Workaround: Unconfigure the following from the switch: aaa accounting send stop-record authentication failure. CSCtj69212

When a trunk port is configured with a native VLAN other than VLAN 1, REP packets are not sent on that VLAN.

Workaround: Retain the default setting (VLAN 1) for the native VLAN on trunks ports. CSCud05521

SFP modules GLC-SX-MMD and GLC-SH-LMD may not be recognized when used with the WS-X4448-GB-SFP linecard.

Workarounds:

Use modules GLC-SX-MM and GLC-LH-SM instead.

Use a release other than IOS XE 3.2.0SG (or IOS 15.0(2)SG) through IOS XE 3.2.6SG (or IOS 15.0(2)SG6). CSCub52430

Resolved Caveats for Cisco IOS XE Release 3.2.1SG

This section lists the resolved caveats for Cisco IOS XE Release 3.2.1SG:

When you configure EnergyWise power control on PoE ports with a time-based execution schedule, time entry executes without adjusting for daylight savings time.

Workaround: Manually re-enter all entries with new time settings.

CSCsy27389

Under Cisco IOS Release 15.0.1.XO, Control Plane Policing is missing class system-cgmp-cpp. When adding this class manually and then attaching a policer to this class, the policer matches on any IP packet.

Workaround: Do not use or remove class system-cgmp-cpp. CSCtn46868

After a session falls back to Web Authentication, and no port ACL or fallback ACL is configured, Auth_Default_ACL is programmed infrequently.

Workaround: Configure a port ACL on the interface. CSCtl89389

When re-connecting to a switch using device tracking, a Windows Vista, 2008, or 2007 device registers a duplicate address message. A Windows Vista, 2008, or 2007 client probes for a tentative IP address while the switch probes for device status. This issue is usually triggered by disconnecting or reconnecting.

Workaround: Disable gratuitous ARPs on the Windows device. CSCtn27420

If you create a new IPv6 ACL, delete a permit ACE, and then add back the permit ACE, the sh run | b ipv6 access-list command displays unexpected commands on the IPv6 access-list configuration.

sh run | b ipv6 access-list
ipv6 access-list ipv6acl
 permit icmp any FF01::/16
 permit icmp any FF02::/16
 sequence 40 permit icmp any FE80::/10
sequence 40 (appears in front of entry)

In the output above, sequence 40 is the unexpected command that appears in front of the entry.

Workaround: Delete the access-list and reconfigure all entries, rather than deleting or reconfiguring the access-list. CSCtn83348

A switch configured for epm open directive in multi-auth configuration fails when authentication sessions are cleared.

Workaround: Do not configure open directive on the switch.

CSCto48824

A switch fails when you change the maximum login attempts value for a webauthentication session.

Workaround: Modify max login attempts when webauth is not active. CSCtn17953

During an SSO/ISSU operation, if an EEE linecard is OIR'd, removed or replaced, and the Ethernet Energy Efficient feature is configured on a given port, the configuration cannot be saved.

Workaround: Deconfigure EEE before running SSO/ISSU or relocating an EE linecard; or reconfigure EEE again after the upgrade or linecard reinsertion.

CSCto97743

The power reported as delivered to a UPOE (greater than 30 watts) client may drop suddenly when a supervisor engine switchover occurs. The device still functions properly, provided power inline police is not enabled on the device's port.

Workaround: Do not enable power inline police on ports delivering more than 30 watts in a redundant system. CSCtq32785

A Supervisor Engine 7-E might fail when the output queuing policy is removed and readded through some range of interfaces that undergoes speed change or negotiation and the impacted interface has an attached queuing policy.

Workaround: None. CSCtq57827

On a Supervisor Engine 7-E, if an output service policy is applied on a port and that port is connected to a PC or other client device, some traffic appears to be dropped in the egress direction after boot up because of misprogrammed port TxQ.

Workaround:Remove and readd the outbound service policy. CSCtq40350

If you use IGMP reports with groups like 226.0.0.2, 225.0.0.2, or 225.128.0.2, HSRP hello packets drop and HSRP peers are down. This happens because HSRP hello packets are sent to MAC address 224.0.0.2, which overlaps with the IGMP group addresses just mentioed.

Workaround: None. Use a different IGMP group address. CSCtq15982

The list of VLANs defined by the vlan-range command used for configuring per-VLAN QoS is too long, causing the system to reject the command and display the following log:

Command rejected: Bad VLAN list - character #"X" (EOL) delimits a VLAN number ("Y") 
end of range not larger than the start of range ("Z").

Workaround: None CSCtr49819

Switches using ESM logging filter TCL script will fail after some time.

Workaround: Remove the logging filter. CSCto76709

A Supervisor Engine 7-E will fail when the following applies when an ACL used by the class-map is modified to match new traffic and a control plane policy is currently attache.

Workaround: Configure new class-maps and a policy-map. Replace the control plane policy with the new policy. CSCto45530

A host IP is not inserted into a URL redirect ACL unless the host IP is already in the device tracking table (DHCP snooping or IPDT).

Workaround: None. CSCtn63638

A host IP is not inserted into a URL redirect ACL unless the host IP is already in the device tracking table (DHCP snooping or IPDT).

Workaround: None. CSCtn63638

DACLs, filter-ID, and proxy ACLs do not function correctly.

Workaround: None. CSCto79232

This problem affects the Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series Supervisor 7E.

Workaround: None. CSCth65129

Under Cisco IOS Release 15.0.1.XO, Control Plane Policing is missing class system-cgmp-cpp. When adding this class manually and then attaching a policer to this class, the policer matches on any IP packet.

Workaround: Do not use or remove class system-cgmp-cpp. CSCtn46868

Supervisor Engine 7-E running Cisco IOS XE 3.1.1(SG) crashes with FFM traceback when applying a qos policy to all the interfaces of a WS-X4748-RJ45V+E module with the interface range command.

Workaround: None. CSCtn81726

When either the RADIUS-server test feature or RADIUS-erver dead-criteria is configured and either RADIUS-server deadtime is not configured or is set to 0, the RADIUS-server status is not properly relayed to AAA.

Workaround: Configure both dead-criteria and deadtime.

radius-server dead-criteria
radius-server deadtime

CSCtl06706

After a session falls back to Web Authentication, and no port ACL or fallback ACL is configured, Auth_Default_ACL is programmed infrequently.

Workaround: Configure a port ACL on the interface. CSCtl89389

CSCtr28857

Rarely, an FFM crash may occur when control plane queues are slow to empty.

Workaround: None. CSCtr07852

If a Supervisor Engine 7E is running Cisco IOS Release 3.2.2SG and a considerable quantity of simultaneous ACL, QoS, or Layer 3 programming occurs (usually on switch bootup), ACL, QoS and Layer 3 changes fail to take effect from that point forward.

Workaround: None. The supervisor engine must be reloaded or failed over. CSCtw93728

On a redundant system consisting of supervisor engines 6-E and 7-E, when the system consumes considerable memory (for example, with heavy multicast traffic), a crash may occur. This event is due to a memory mismatch between the two supervisor engines.

Workaround: Upgrade the memory of Supervisor Engine 6-E to match that of Supervisor Engine 7-E.

If you use Supervisor Engine 7E or Supervisor Engine 7L-E and you enter either the show redundancy or commands beginning with the keyword redundancy, the following error displays:

Failed to find pr_handlers by uri

.Workaround: None. A reload is required to restore these commands. CSCtw95861

When you execute the show flow monitor monitor_name params top number command simultaneously from different terminals to display the top flows, the supervisor engine might crash.

Workaround: Avoid entering flexible netflow show commands from more than one terminal, when you want to display the top flows. CSCtw61872

After a switch reestablishes a lost connection with AAA servers configured for broadcast accounting, the switch crashes.

Workaround: Do not use the broadcast keyword in the aaa accounting configuration. CSCts56125

A switch configured with 802.1X might shows considerable CPU usage by the 802.1X switch process and displays the following message:

SYS-2-MALLOCFAIL messages, and - on redundant systems - begins logging EM-4-SENDFAILED 
messages,

The occurs under the following conditions:

Multi-auth (or multi-host) and MAB dot1x are configured on a port.

A voice VLAN is not configured on the port.

The device authenticates through 802.1X.

The connected device sends no traffic, falls over to MAB, and then successfully authenticates through 802.1X.

A dynamic VLAN is assigned to the port following 802.1X authorization.

Workarounds:

Enter shut then no shut on the port to halt the high CPU and log messages.

Enter the switchport voice vlan command on the port. CSCtw73754

If PoE linecards are present and you enter either the show power inline module x or show power inline module x detail command, very rarely the supervisor engine might crash.

Workaround: None. CSCtx25697

After a few hours of operation, during which DHCP is enabled and sessions receive DHCP information from a RADIUS server, a Cisco ASR router running as an LNS box crashes with DHCP related errors.

Workaround: None. CSCtj48387

Configuring an interface as uni-directional with the unidirectional send-only | receive-only command still allows the interface to send (configured as "Send-only Unidirection Ethernet mode") or receive (configured as "Receive-only Unidirection Ethernet mode") packets in a bi-directional mode.

Workaround: None. CSCtx95359

If a switch is configured with the aaa accounting send stop-record authentication failure command, and MAB fails on the port and subsequent attempts are made to authorize the device after the restart timer expires, a high level of memory usage due to the "MAB Framework" process is observed.

Workaround: Unconfigure the following from the switch: aaa accounting send stop-record authentication failure. CSCtj69212

When a trunk port is configured with a native VLAN other than VLAN 1, REP packets are not sent on that VLAN.

Workaround: Retain the default setting (VLAN 1) for the native VLAN on trunks ports. CSCud05521

SFP modules GLC-SX-MMD and GLC-SH-LMD may not be recognized when used with the WS-X4448-GB-SFP linecard.

Workarounds:

Use modules GLC-SX-MM and GLC-LH-SM instead.

Use a release other than IOS XE 3.2.0SG (or IOS 15.0(2)SG) through IOS XE 3.2.6SG (or IOS 15.0(2)SG6). CSCub52430

Resolved Caveats for Cisco IOS XE Release 3.2.0SG

This section lists the resolved caveats for Cisco IOS XE Release 3.2.0SG:

On a redundant configuration, if a switchover occurs immediately after a port falls back to Webauth from 802.1X or MAB, you may notice a delay in loading the Webauth login page on the browser.

Workaround: Enter shut, then no-shut on the link, then flush the IP device tracking table.

CSCtc99174

The ip igmp snooping command is not visible in VLAN range mode.

Workaround: IGMP snooping can still be disabled on VLANs individually. CSCth17903

When you attempt to copy from slaveusb0: or to slaveusb0:, the following message displays:

Copy in 
progress...CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC
CCCCCCCCCCCCCC
%Error reading slaveusb0:realtest (Error Sending Request)

Workaround: Avoid remote copying to or from a standby usb0:. Copy from a standby bootflash or make a local copy directly at the standby bootflash. CSCti29518

On all redundant configurations, RF Switchover History time is incorrect when accessed through cRFHistorySwactTime.

Workaround: Use the show redundancy and show redundancy states commands to retrieve the switchover history times. CSCti53834

On all redundant configurations, SNMP operations to obtain Redundancy Switchover history using cRFHistoryTable fail, displaying the following message:

"NO_SUCH_INSTANCE_EXCEPTION."

Workaround: Enter the show redundancy switchover history command to obtain redundancy switchover history. CSCti55424

The ciscoFlashPartitionFileCount object returns an incorrect file count for bootflash:, usb0:, slot0:, slaveslot0:, slavebootflash:, and slaveusb0:.

Workaround: Use the dir device command to obtain the correct file count (for example, dir bootflash:). CSCti74130

When you try to copy to slaveusb0: from the active bootflash, the following message displays:

%Error writing slaveusb0:/cat4500e-universalk9-lite.SSA.0.DEV-0.0.DEV-0.bin (Error 
Sending Request)
 *Jul 30 11:38:58.890 UTC: %IOSXE-3-PLATFORM: STANDBY:4 kernel: usb 1-2: device

 *Jul 30 11:39:29.625 UTC: %IOSXE-3-PLATFORM: STANDBY:4 kernel: usb 1-2: device 
descriptor read/64, error -110

Workaround: Remove the slaveusb0, reinsert the slaveusb0:, then recopy. CSCti19321

Three to five minutes after you create a GRE tunnel between interfaces on two switches (first hop and last hop), you observe that the FHR begins to drop the tunnel traffic. This causes the (S,G) entry, originally created on the LHR when sending IPv6 source traffic, to time out.

Workaround: Enter shut, then no shut on the host port interface of the first hop. CSCti44397

If you are using a large customized Web Authentication login page on a switch running Cisco IOS Release 12.2(53)SG3 or IOS XE 3.1.0 SG and multiple users attempt to access custom HTML pages, the switch might reload.

Workaround: Unconfigure the customized HTML page to use default internal Webauth pages, change the configuration, then reload the switch. CSCti81874

The Policy Based Routing (PBR) function fails on a Supervisor Engine 7-E running Cisco IOS Release 3.2.1.SG. Packets are software switched and not sent to the next hop as defined in the PBR route-map. Packets are routed to their destination via the IP routing table lookup rather than the route-map configured on the ingress interface.

The show platform hardware acl in entries vlan command indicates that the ACL action does not point to an adjacency for the affected VLAN(s).

Workaround: Enter the cef table output-chain build favor memory-utilization command globally. CSCtn91576

When kron initiates a write to the startup-config (that is, execution of the write mem command), it is locked indefinitely.

switch# show run
Unable to get configuration. Try again later.

Workaround: Reload the switch to restore access, then use EEM with the timer event to schedule the required task. CSCtk68692

If a redirect ACL is installed on multiple ports using cisco-av-pair url-redirect-acl=ACLNAME and you modify the ACL, the EPM MAIN process reports elevated CPU usage.

Workaround: None. CSCtn61307

If host mode multi-domain is configured, after a successful authorization, neither the data device nor the IP phone will pass traffic.

Workaround: None. CSCtj56811

A non-supplicant PC is connected to an 802.1x port in MDA mode. Upon no response to EAPOL, the PC is placed in a Guest VLAN (correct behavior). If the supplicant is enabled on the PC and the credentials are entered, the switch reports AUTHC success and AUTHZ fail. If client re-attempts 802.1x before the port returns to the Guest VLAN, this process succeeds.

Workaround: None. CSCtl89361

When a configuration file has VTP mode off and is copied to the running config, the VLANs that are not already in the VLAN database are not created.

Workarounds:

Use VTP Mode transparent.

Create the VLANs manually. CSCtl94096

LACP ports between a Catalyst 4500 Switch and a Nexus enter Suspended Mode when the native VLAN is tagged and changed to x on both chassis (native VLAN is not 1).

Workaround: None. CSCtj90471

LLDP frames are tagged incorrectly when leaving an 802.1q port if the native VLAN has a value other than 1.

Workaround: Use the default native VLAN (VLAN of 1) for the trunks. CSCtn29321

Some non-powered devices fail to linkup when connected to a 4648-RJ45-E/+E or 4748-RJ45+E line card port with a two-pair/4-wire cable (1,2,3,6).

This behavior is observed when you use IBM Cable Systems Type 1A/2A or any two-pair cable, including Cat5e.

Workaround:

Use a four-pair wire.

Enter the power inline never command.

Enter the speed auto 10 100 command. CSCtn43537

Following a route flap, a Supervisor Engine 7-E running Cisco IOS XE Release 3.1.0XO or 3.1.1SG crashes and generates an FFM crashinfo file.

Workaround: None. Upgrade to Cisco IOS XE Release 3.2.0SG or higher. CSCtr54723

Troubleshooting

These sections provide troubleshooting guidelines for the Catalyst 4500 series switches running IOS supervisor engines:

Netbooting from ROMMON

Troubleshooting at the System Level

Troubleshooting Modules

Troubleshooting MIBs

Netbooting from ROMMON

Netbooting using a boot loader image is not supported. Instead, use one of the following options to boot an image:

1. Boot from an SD card by entering the following command:

rommon 1> boot slot0:<bootable_image>

2. Use ROMMON TFTP boot.

The ROMMON TFTP boot is very similar to the BOOTLDR TFTP boot, except that:

the BOOTLDR variable should not be set

the TFTP server must be accessible from the Ethernet management port on the supervisor engine.

To boot from ROMMON, perform the following tasks while in ROMMON mode:

a. Ensure that the Ethernet management port on the supervisor engine is physically connected to the network.

b. Verify that bootloader environment is not set by entering the unset bootldr command.

c. Set IP address of the Ethernet management port on the supervisor engine by entering the following command: set interface fa1 ip_address ip_mask

For example, to set the supervisor engine Ethernet port with an IP address 172.16.1.5 and IP mask 255.255.255.0, enter the following command:

rommon 2> set interface fa1 172.16.1.5 255.255.255.0

d. Set default gateway for the Ethernet management port on the supervisor engine by entering the following command: set ip route default gateway_ip_address. The default gateway should be directly connected to the supervisor engine Ethernet management port subnet.

e. Ping the TFTP server to ensure that there is connectivity to the server from the Ethernet management port on the supervisor engine by entering the following command: ping tftp_server_ip_address.

f. Once the ping is successful, boot the image from the TFTP server by entering the following command: boot tftp://tftp_server_ip_address / image_path_and_file_name

For example, to boot the Cisco IOS XE image cat4500e-universalk9.03.01.00 .SG.150-1.XO.bin located on the TFTP server 172.16.1.8, enter the following command:

rommon 3> boot tftp://172.16.1.8/tftpboot/cat4500e-universalk9.03.01.00 
.SG.150-1.XO.bin

Troubleshooting at the System Level

This section contains troubleshooting guidelines for system-level problems:

When the system is booting and running power-on diagnostics, do not reset the switch.

Ensure that you do not mix the serial and Ethernet cables plugged into the supervisor engine. The Fast Ethernet port (10/100 MGT) on the supervisor engine is inoperative. An Ethernet cable plugged into the Fast Ethernet port is active only in ROMMON mode.

Troubleshooting Modules

This section contains troubleshooting guidelines for modules:

When you hot insert a module into a chassis, always use the ejector levers on the front of the module to seat the backplane pins properly. Inserting a module without using the ejector levers might cause the supervisor engine to display incorrect messages about the module. For module installation instructions, refer to the Catalyst 4500 Series Module Installation Guide.

Whenever you connect an interface that has duplex set to autonegotiate to an end station or another networking device, ensure that the other device is configured for autonegotiation as well. If the other device is not set to autonegotiate, the port set to autonegotiate will remain in half-duplex mode, which can cause a duplex mismatch resulting in packet loss, late collisions, and line errors on the link.

Troubleshooting MIBs

For general information on MIBs, RMON groups, and traps, refer to the Cisco public MIB directory (http://www.cisco.com/public/sw-center/netmgmt/cmtk/mibs.shtml). For information on the specific MIBs supported by the Catalyst 4500 series switches, refer to the Catalyst 4000 MIB Support List located at ftp://ftp.cisco.com/pub/mibs/supportlists/cat4000/cat4000-supportlist.html.
