Release Notes for Catalyst 6500 Series Software Release 8.x

Current Releases
8.7(3)—September 11, 2009
Previous Releases: 8.7(2), 8.7(1), 8.6(6), 8.6 (5), 8.6(4), 8.6 (3), 8.6(2), 8.6(1), 8.5(9), 8.5(8), 8.5(7), 8.5(6), 8.5(5), 8.5(4), 8.5(3), 8.5(2), 8.5(1), 8.4(6), 8.4(5), 8.4(4), 8.4(3), 8.4(2a), 8.4(2), 8.4(1), 8.3(7), 8.3(6), 8.3(5), 8.3(4), 8.3(3), 8.3(2), 8.3(1), 8.2(2), 8.2(1), 8.1(3), 8.1(2), 8.1(1)

Caution Due to a compatibility issue between Supervisor Engine 32 hardware version 1.2 and Catalyst software releases prior to release 8.4(4) and MSFC2A Cisco IOS Releases prior to Release 12.2(17d)SXB9, you need to verify your Supervisor Engine 32 hardware version, and if necessary, take the appropriate action as described in the following paragraphs.

For Supervisor Engine 32 (WS-SUP32-GE-3B and WS-SUP32-10GE-3B), if the hardware version is 1.2, you must run software release 8.4(4) and later releases on the supervisor engine and Cisco IOS Release 12.2(17d)SXB9 and later releases on the MSFC2A. To determine the hardware version, enter the show module command and note the hardware (Hw) version for the supervisor engine.

When Supervisor Engine 32 with hardware version 1.2 is running software release 8.4(4) or later, if the MSFC2A image is not Cisco IOS Release 12.2(17d)SXB9 or later, the MSFC2A is placed in the "other" state and the following message is displayed on the supervisor engine:

%SYS-1-MOD_MSFC_FAILONLINE:MSFC Module 16 FAILED to come ONLINE
2005 Apr 21 01:31:46 %SYS-1-MOD_MSFC_INCOMPATIBLEIMAGE:MSFC Module 16
Image Upgrade Required to support Inband Port ASIC present in System

To correct this problem, you must upgrade the MSFC2A to Cisco IOS Release 12.2(17d)SXB9 and later releases.

Note that in redundant systems, if one Supervisor Engine 32 is hardware version 1.2, the other Supervisor Engine 32 must also be hardware version 1.2 and both supervisor engines must be running software release 8.4(4) or later on the supervisor engine and Cisco IOS release 12.2(17d)SXB9 or later on the MSFC2A.

Caution With software release 8.3(1), we recommend that you run Cisco IOS Release 12.2(17d)SXB1 on the Supervisor Engine 720/MSFC3. It is mandatory that you run Cisco IOS Release 12.2(17d)SXB1 if you plan on using any of the following software release 8.3(1) features: Bidirectional PIM, Policy Feature Card 3BXL, IGMP version 3 snooping with Multicast Multilayer Switching (MMLS), or Gateway Load Balancing Protocol (GLBP).

For Cisco IOS Release requirements for all supervisor engines and modules, see the "Release Notes for Cisco IOS on the MSFC" section at this URL: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/switches/ps708/prod_release_notes_list.html

Caution Support for Optical Services Modules (OSMs) and the FlexWAN module in systems with Supervisor Engine 2 running software release 8.1(1) and later releases requires Cisco IOS Release 12.1(19)E and later releases. OSMs are only supported with Supervisor Engine 2; they are not supported with any other supervisor engine. Support for the FlexWAN module in systems with Supervisor Engine 1 and Supervisor Engine 2 running software release 8.1(1) and later releases requires Cisco IOS Release 12.1(19)E and later releases. Support for the FlexWAN module in systems with Supervisor Engine 720 running software release 8.2(1) and later releases requires Cisco IOS Release 12.2(14)SX2 and later releases.

Also note that with software release 8.1(1) and later releases you need to use the Cisco IOS Release 12.1(13)E4 or later version bootloader on the MSFC/MSFC2 to boot a Cisco IOS image reliably from sup-slot0 or sup-bootflash. The Cisco IOS Release 12.1(19)E train bootloader, or bootloaders earlier than Cisco IOS Release 12.1(13)E4, do not support booting the MSFC/MSFC2 from sup-slot0 or sup-bootflash due to caveats CSCeb36759, CSCdz60980, and/or CSCdz31321.

For a complete list of OSMs supported with Catalyst software, see the "Optical Services Modules" section.

Caution The MSFC3 on Supervisor Engine 720 requires Cisco IOS Release 12.2(14)SX2 and later releases.

Caution The 12.2(14r)S9 MSFC3 ROMMON software upgrade is required if you plan to run Catalyst software release 8.1(x) on Supervisor Engine 720 and Cisco IOS software on the MSFC3. For information on the 12.2(14r)S9 MSFC3 ROMMON software upgrade procedure, refer to this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/catalyst6500/rommon/OL_4497.html

Caution If stateful switchover (SSO) is enabled on the MSFC, you must enable high availability on the supervisor engine before upgrading to supervisor engine software release 8.5(1) and later releases. Use the set system highavailability enable command to enable high availability on the supervisor engine. For detailed information on configuring SSO on the MSFC, refer to the "Configuring NSF with SSO MSFC Redundancy" chapter of the Catalyst 6500 Series Software Configuration Guide at this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/catalyst6500/catos/8.x/configuration/guide/nde.html

Release 8.x DRAM Memory Requirements

Supervisor Engine 32: The Catalyst 6500 series Supervisor Engine 32 ships with 256-MB DRAM, which fully supports software release 8.4(1) and later releases.

Supervisor Engine 720: The Catalyst 6500 series Supervisor Engine 720 ships with 512-MB DRAM, which fully supports software release 8.x.

Supervisor Engine 2: The Catalyst 6500 series Supervisor Engine 2 ships with 256-MB DRAM (WS-X6K-S2U-MSFC2) and the default 128-MB DRAM (WS-X6K-S2-MSFC2), both of which fully support software release 8.x.

Caution When running software release 8.x with a large number of routes configured, the Supervisor Engine 2 requires 256-MB DRAM. The exact number of routes supported by the Supervisor Engine 2 with 128-MB DRAM depends on the features you have configured.

Supervisor Engine 1: Early versions of the Catalyst 6500 series Supervisor Engine 1 shipped with 64-MB DRAM which does not support software release 8.x (currently, new Supervisor Engine 1 modules ship with 128-MB DRAM). To support software release 8.x, you need 128-MB DRAM.

With the exception of WS-X6K-SUP1A-MSFC, all other Supervisor Engine 1 modules can upgrade to 128-MB DRAM using the MEM-S1-128MB= upgrade kit. For detailed information on the MEM-S1-128MB= upgrade, refer to the Catalyst 6500 Series Switch Supervisor Engine 1A DRAM Upgrade Installation Note at this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/catalyst6500/hardware/Config_Notes/78_14357.html

To upgrade to 128-MB DRAM on the WS-X6K-SUP1A-MSFC, use the MEM-S1-128MB-UPG= upgrade kit which also includes an MSFC2 upgrade.

Boot ROM (ROMMON) Requirements

For Supervisor Engine 1, the minimum boot ROM (ROMMON) required for software release 5.4(1) and later 5.x(x) releases is 5.2(1). The minimum boot ROM required for software releases 6.x(x), 7.x(x), and 8.x(x) is also 5.2(1). The default (shipping) image for software releases 6.x(x), 7.x(x), and 8.x(x) is 5.3(1).

For Supervisor Engine 2, the minimum boot ROM required for software release 6.2(2) and later releases is 6.1(3).

For Supervisor Engine 720, the minimum boot ROM required for software release 8.1(1) and later releases is 7.7(1).

Note The supervisor engine boot ROM versions must be identical in redundant systems.

Upgrading the Boot ROM

Follow these guidelines to upgrade the supervisor engine boot ROM (ROMMON) on Supervisor Engine 1 or 1A:

•For supervisor engines with an MSFC, due to the location of the boot ROM, upgrading the boot ROM could damage your supervisor engine. This hardware configuration is not field upgradable.

•For supervisor engines with an MSFC2 or no PFC, the boot ROM upgrade can be done in the field:

–The boot ROM upgrade kit part number is WS-X6K-BOOT=

Note The boot ROM upgrade kit is not orderable. If an upgrade is needed, contact the Technical Assistance Center (TAC) to verify your hardware configuration and arrange for delivery of the upgrade kit.

–For boot ROM installation information, refer to the Catalyst 6500 Series Switch Supervisor Engine NMP Boot ROM Upgrade Installation Note at this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/catalyst6500/hardware/Config_Notes/78_10142.html

Note For Supervisor Engine 2 with boot ROM version 6.1(3) or later, the boot ROM software image can be upgraded through a software download from Cisco.com. Refer to the boot ROM software upgrade procedure at this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/catalyst6500/hardware/Config_Notes/78_13488.html

•MEM-C6K-CPTFL512M=

MEM-C6K-CPTFL512M= is supported with Supervisor Engine 720 and Supervisor Engine 32 starting with software release 8.4(1).

Note For Supervisor Engine 720, a Compact Flash card can be installed only in the DISK 0 slot with software releases prior to release 8.4(1). With software releases 8.4(1) and later releases, you can use the DISK 1 slot.

Note For Supervisor Engine 1, software release 7.6(1) or later CV images need a 24-MB or 64-MB linear Flash PC card.

With the 24-MB linear Flash PC card with a Supervisor Engine 1/MSFC or a Supervisor Engine 1/MSFC2 with a 16-MB MSFC2 bootflash, you need to put the Catalyst image on the 24-MB linear Flash PC card, the IOS bootloader on the MSFC bootflash, and the Cisco IOS image on the 16-MB supervisor engine bootflash.

With the 64-MB linear Flash PC card with a Supervisor Engine 1/MSFC or a Supervisor Engine 1/MSFC2 with a 16-MB MSFC2 bootflash, you can put the Catalyst image and the MSFC/MSFC2 Cisco IOS image on the 64-MB linear Flash PC card, and the Cisco IOS bootloader on the MSFC bootflash.

With the 24-MB or 64-MB linear Flash PC card on a Supervisor Engine 1/MSFC2 with 32-MB MSFC2 bootflash, the MSFC2 bootloader and Cisco IOS image can be put on the MSFC2 bootflash, and the Catalyst image can be put on the 24-MB or 64-MB linear Flash PC cards.

Supervisor Engine Bootflash

Supervisor Engine 32: The Catalyst 6500 series Supervisor Engine 32 ships with a 256-MB bootflash device.

Supervisor Engine 720: The Catalyst 6500 series Supervisor Engine 720 ships with a 64-MB bootflash device.

Supervisor Engine 2: The Catalyst 6500 series Supervisor Engine 2 ships with a 32-MB bootflash device.

Note The default bootflash configuration on Supervisor Engine 2 shipped since late January 2001, is 32 MB. Enter the show version command to determine what size bootflash device is installed on the Supervisor Engine 2. If you have 16 MB, there is an upgrade to 32 MB available at this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/catalyst6500/hardware/Config_Notes/78_12667.html

Supervisor Engine 1: The Catalyst 6500 series Supervisor Engine 1 (and 1A) ship with a 16-MB bootflash device. The Supervisor Engine 1 (and 1A) bootflash is not upgradeable.

Redundant Supervisor Engine Configurations

In systems with redundant supervisor engines, both supervisor engines must be identical and have the same daughter card configurations. For example, your switch can have the following configurations:

•Slot 1—Supervisor Engine 2, PFC2, MSFC2
Slot 2—Supervisor Engine 2, PFC2, MSFC2

•Slot 1—Supervisor Engine 2, PFC2
Slot 2—Supervisor Engine 2, PFC2

•Slot 1—Supervisor Engine 1, PFC, MSFC2
Slot 2—Supervisor Engine 1, PFC, MSFC2

•Slot 1—Supervisor Engine 1, PFC, MSFC1
Slot 2—Supervisor Engine 1, PFC, MSFC1

•Slot 1—Supervisor Engine 1, PFC
Slot 2—Supervisor Engine 1, PFC

•Slot 1—Supervisor Engine 1
Slot 2—Supervisor Engine 1

The slot locations for Supervisor Engine 720 (with PFC3 and MSFC3) and Supervisor Engine 32 (with PFC3B and MSFC2A) are chassis dependent:

•With a 3-slot chassis, install the active supervisor engine in slot 1 and the redundant supervisor engine in slot 2.

•With a 6-slot or a 9-slot chassis, install the active supervisor engine in slot 5 and the redundant supervisor engine in slot 6.

•With a 13-slot chassis, install the active supervisor engine in slot 7 and the redundant supervisor engine in slot 8.

These configuration requirements apply to all Catalyst 6500 series switches. We do not support configurations that are not identical.

¹Some chassis require a high capacity fan tray for use with Supervisor Engine 720 and Supervisor Engine 32. To determine which chassis require a fan tray for Supervisor Engine 720 and Supervisor Engine 32, see the "Modular Chassis" section.

²These fan trays require a 2500 W or 4000 W power supply.

³This fan tray is supported in all chassis (except for the 3-slot chassis) and all software releases. The minimum power supply requirement is 2500W. It is important that you determine the power requirements for your hardware configuration to ensure that your switch has adequate power for all modules. To determine power requirements, refer to the CCO power calculator at this URL: http://www.cisco.com/go/powercalculator.

Orderable Software Images

Table 1 lists the software releases and applicable ordering information for the Catalyst 6500 series supervisor engine software.

Caution Always back up the switch configuration file before upgrading or downgrading the switch software to avoid losing all or part of the configuration stored in nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM). When downgrading switch software, you will lose your configuration. Use the write network command or the copy config tftp command to back up your configuration to a Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server. Use the copy config flash command to back up the configuration to a Flash device.

Note CiscoView images are available approximately 2 weeks after the Flash images are released.

Software Image Version Compatibility

With high-availability versioning enabled, you can have two different but compatible images on the active and standby supervisor engines. The active supervisor engine exchanges image version information with the standby supervisor engine and determines whether the images are compatible for enabling high availability. If the active and standby supervisor engines are not running compatible image versions, you cannot enable high availability.

Image versioning is supported in supervisor engine software releases 5.4(1) and later. With versioning enabled, high availability is fully supported with the active and standby supervisor engines running different images as long as the images are compatible. The only fully compatible images are as follows:

Note There is no software image version compatibility in the 8.x software release train. This includes major releases such as 8.1(x) to 8.2(x) to 8.3(x) and so on. This also includes subreleases such as 8.1(1) to 8.1(2), 8.2(1) to 8.2(2) and so on.

•Software Release 8.7 Hardware Features

•Software Release 8.7 Software Features

•Software Release 8.7 Unsupported Software Features

Software Release 8.7 Hardware Features

Software release 8.7 provides support for these hardware features:

•A 512-MB CompactFlash memory card on Supervisor Engine 720 with a Melody adapter card.

•LR+/ER+ XENPAKs with DOM support.

Software Release 8.7 Software Features

Software release 8.7 provides support for the following software features:

•IEEE 802.1ag draft 8.0 Metro Ethernet Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) Protocol. CFM incorporates several OAM facilities that allow you to manage Metro Ethernet networks, including an Ethernet continuity check, an end-to-end Ethernet traceroute, a Link Trace Message (LTM), a Loopback Message (LBM), and a Loopback Reply (LBR). These Metro Ethernet CFM elements allow you to identify problems in your network. This protocol replaces IEEE 802.1: 802.1ag-Connectivity Fault Management protocol.

•Ethernet Local Management Protocol (ELMI). The ELMI protocols are as follows:

1. Ethernet Virtual Connections (EVC).

2. Ethernet Local Management Interface (ELMI).

•The Ethernet Alarm Indication function (ETH-AIS) and the Ethernet Remote Defect Indication (ETH-RDI) are new functional extensions to Metro Ethernet Connectivity Fault Management (CFM). The ETH-AIS is a standard defined by ITU Y.1731 and the ETH-RDI is part of IEEE 802.1ag. AIS-RDI works together to help reduce the management complexity of large SPAN networks and multiple constituent networks that belong to separate organizations.

•IEEE 802.1ak Multiple VLAN Registration Protocol (MVRP).

This protocol replaces GVRP in VLAN pruning and dynamic VLAN creation on trunk ports with faster and smaller transmissions, and extends support to larger networks and 4k (4094) VLANs.

1. MVRP default timers need to be tuned appropriately for a high number of VLANs. MVRP is a CPU-intensive protocol that requires an adequate processing interval between PDUs for processing a high number of VLAN states.

2. MVRP does not support Flex link.

3. MVRP does not interoperate with L2PT.

•Agentless Hosts Audit Support with MAB

This feature facilitates NAC auditing for agentless hosts with MAB- enabled NAD ports using external audit servers.

•QoS and Security ACL assignment with MAB

MAB-enabled ports support ACL assignments similar to 802.1X-enabled ports.

•IP Device Tracking (Host Aging using MAB)

This feature tracks the existence of the host and removes aged entries in the CAM table, which ensure that the hosts are removed from the EARL.

•MAC Utilization Rate

This feature displays the packet rate, bit rate, and octet rate per port, per module, and per VLAN, based on the load interval that can be specified.

•MAC Duplication Indicator

Note Maximum switching performance is achieved when all switch components are fabric enabled. The presence of nonfabric-enabled switching modules might impact overall switching performance.

These sections describe the features in software release 8.5, 25 October 2005:

•Software Release 8.5 Hardware Features

•Software Release 8.5 Software Features

•Software Release 8.5 Unsupported Software Features

Software Release 8.5 Hardware Features

Software release 8.5 provides initial support for these modules and chassis:

•FlexWAN2—enhanced FlexWAN module (WS-X6582-2PA)

•Inline power daughter card (WS-F6K-48-AF)

•ZR XENPAK—10GBASE-ZR XENPAK transceiver module for SMF, 1550-nm wavelength, SC connector (XENPAK-10GE-ZR)

•Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) XENPAK

Software Release 8.5 Software Features

Software release 8.5 provides support for these software features:

•NAC - L2 IP:

Network Admission Control (NAC) L2 IP extends NAC support to Layer 2 switches and is intended to be deployed on Layer 2 Ethernet access ports at the network edge. The device to be validated must be attached to the Layer 2 port within the first Layer 3 hop. NAC L2 IP does not require 802.1X support on the hosts. Performing posture validation at the edge maximizes the portion of the network that is protected by the access control, and allows posture validation to be performed within a VLAN. NAC - L2 IP acts at the same point in the network as the NAC - L2 IEEE 802.1X feature, but uses different mechanisms to initiate posture validation, to carry the communication between host and authentication server, and to enforce the resulting access limitations.

•NAC - L2 IEEE 802.1X:

NAC L2 IEEE 802.1X extends NAC support to Layer 2 switches and wireless access points. Combining it with 802.1X provides a unified authentication and posture validation mechanism at the Layer 2 network edge. This helps protect the network from attack by machines with an insufficient antivirus posture. Performing posture validation at the edge maximizes the portion of the network that is protected and allows posture validation to be performed within a VLAN.

•Web Authentication Proxy:

Web-based authentication proxy is an HTTP-based authentication mechanism that allows clients that do not support the 802.1X supplicant functionality to integrate into the Cisco Identity Based Networking Services (IBNS) and NAC strategy using a standard web browser. This feature addresses network environments in which a supplicant code is not available for the given client platform, and environments in which the configuration of the end client is not under administrative control (where the installation and use of an IEEE 802.1X supplicant cannot be enforced despite its availability) and yet controlled access to the network is desired.

•IEEE 802.1X - Inaccessible Authentication Bypass:

On an 802.1X-enabled port, if a device fails authentication because access to the back-end authentication server is not available, the port is denied network access. Inaccessible authentication bypass allows network access to critical user-designated servers when access to the back-end authentication server is not available.

•MAC Authentication Bypass:

MAC authentication bypass is a MAC address-based authentication mechanism that allows clients that do not support the 802.1X supplicant functionality to integrate into the Cisco Identity Based Networking Services (IBNS) and NAC strategy using the client MAC address. MAC authentication bypass addresses network environments in which a supplicant code is not available for a given client platform and environments in which the configuration of the end client is not under administrative control (where the installation and use of an IEEE 802.1X supplicant cannot be enforced despite its availability) and yet controlled access to the network is desired.

•GOLD - Generic Online Diagnostics:

GOLD implements a number of health checks both at system startup and while the system is running. GOLD runs in the background and complements the high-availability features, such as NSF/SSO, alerting them if a disruption occurs. GOLD provides a variety of diagnostic tests; some tests run nonintrusively in the background while other tests can be triggered on demand.

•IEEE 802.3ah Ethernet OAM - Operations Administration and Maintenance:

Support for Ethernet OAM refers to a suite of tools designed to install, monitor, and troubleshoot Ethernet networks. Ethernet OAM relies on a new sublayer in the data link layer to provide a way to assist in detecting failing links or fault conditions. This feature provides some key capabilities that enable you to monitor the health of the network and pinpoint the location of the failing links.

•Flex Links:

Flex links are a pair of Layer 2 interfaces (switch ports or port channels) configured to act as a backup to another Layer 2 interface. Flex links provide an alternative solution to the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), allowing you to turn off STP and still provide basic link redundancy.

•SmartPorts - Customizable Configuration:

Provides you with a convenient way to save and share common, customizable configurations. It extends the functionality of both SmartPorts and the set alias command by providing a way to define and name a macro and associate one or more commands to that macro. You create a macro using a CLI command and then enter a list of commands that are part of that macro.

•Text Configuration Mode Optimization:

Reduces the amount of time required for the system to boot up when you use the text configuration mode. This enhancement ensures that downtime, planned or otherwise, will be shorter.

•Firewall Autostate Capability:

The existing autostate feature has been extended as part of this enhancement to add the capability to inform the FWSM when either the first or last port has joined or left a VLAN assigned to that FWSM, excluding the FWSM port channel and trunk port to the MSFC. The FWSM responds to a VLAN down condition by marking the interfaces associated with that VLAN as "Autostate Down." An interface marked as "Autostate Down" is considered a failed interface for purposes of interface-monitoring health status and may cause a failover if the interface-policy threshold is met.

•WCCP:

The Web Cache Communication Protocol (WCCP) is a Cisco-developed content-routing technology that allows you to integrate cache engines (such as the Cisco Cache Engine 550) into your network infrastructure.

Software Release 8.5 Unsupported Software Features

This section lists the unsupported software features in software release 8.5(x):

•The following QoS features and the commands that are used to configure them are not supported in a system with a Supervisor Engine 720 in software release 8.5(x):

Features for Supervisor Engine Software Release 8.4

Note Maximum switching performance is achieved when all switch components are fabric enabled. The presence of nonfabric-enabled switching modules might impact overall switching performance.

These sections describe the features in software release 8.4, 29 December 2004:

•Software Release 8.4 Hardware Features

•Software Release 8.4 Software Features

•Software Release 8.4 Unsupported Software Features

Software Release 8.4 Hardware Features

Software release 8.4 provides initial support for these modules and chassis:

•Supervisor Engine 32 (WS-SUP32-GE-3B) with PFC3B and MSFC2A

•6000 W power supply (WS-CAC-6000W)

Supported in all Catalyst 65xx and Catalyst 65xx-E chassis except for the 6503 and 6503-E (form-factor difference). Only the 6513 and -E chassis support the full 6000 W; the other chassis rely on software to current limit the power supply.

•2700 W power supply (PWR-2700-AC, PWR-2700-DC)

Supported in the Cisco 7606 chassis. Cannot be used in the 65xx chassis.

•Catalyst 6500 E-series chassis enhancements

•WS-X6148A-RJ-45, WS-X6148A-45AF

48-port 10/100BASE-TX, RJ-45 connectors. WS-X6148A-45AF provides inline power for IP telephones with the WS-F6K-GE48-AF daughter card.

•WS-X6196-RJ-21, WS-X6196-21AF

96-port 10/100BASE-TX, RJ-21 connectors. WS-X6196-21AF provides inline power for IP telephones with the WS-F6K-FE48X2-AF daughter card.

•1000BASE-BX SFP (GLC-BX-1310, GLC-BX-1490)

•4-slot 6504-E chassis (WS-C6504-E) (Supported in software release 8.4(2) and later releases.)

Software Release 8.4 Software Features

Software release 8.4 provides support for these software features:

•EtherChannel enhancements:

Provides for an automatic failover of traffic from one port in an EtherChannel to another port in the same EtherChannel when one of the ports in the channel exceeds a configurable error threshold within the specified interval. The port failover only occurs if there is an operational port left in the EtherChannel. If the failed port is the last port in the EtherChannel, the port does not enter the "port failover" state and continues to pass traffic regardless of the type of errors being received. Single, nonchanneling ports do not go into the port failover state; these ports go into the errdisable state when the error threshold is exceeded within the specified interval.

•VLAN translation:

VLAN mapping has been enhanced to allow you to map any type of VLAN to any other type of VLAN without any VLAN range restrictions. VLAN mapping is now configurable on a per-port or per-ASIC basis.

•MAC-based ACLs:

PFC3B and PFC3BXL allow the ACL lookups on all packet types using the MAC ACL. This feature is useful for doing MAC-based matching on all packets regardless of whether the packet is IP version 4, IP version 6, IPX, MPLS, and so on. You can utilize this feature to rate limit all traffic ingressing a VLAN to some specific value by coupling an aggregate policer with a match-all MAC ACL.

•SmartPorts enhancements:

–Ciscorouter SmartPorts template

–Ciscoswitch SmartPorts template

–Ciscodesktop SmartPorts template

–Ciscoipphone SmartPorts template

–Ciscosoftphone SmartPorts template

–Global SmartPorts template

•System profiles (lockdown profiles):

With the profile files, you can eliminate the features or processes that may pose security risks (for example, disabling CDP or turning off auto-trunking on a port) to your switch. A profile file that has most of the security risks disabled is also known as a "lockdown" profile. A lockdown profile changes the functionality of the switch from enabling access to preventing access by default. When a lockdown profile is applied, you must manually enable the features that were disabled by the profile file.

•CRAM algorithm:

The compression and reordering of the ACL masks (CRAM) feature optimizes the mask usage across the different ACLs. This optimization promotes mask sharing and results in more efficient usage of the TCAM and the ability to program more ACLs in the TCAM.

•ACL statistics:

When you select the statistics keyword with the set security acl command set, the statistics are stored for the ACEs or the ACLs (VACLs and PACLs). The ACL statistics are disabled by default and can be enabled on a per-ACL, per-VLAN, or per-ACE basis.

•NetFlow top talkers:

The show mls statistics entry ip top-talkers command can display the statistics for the netflows with the maximum amount of network usage. The NetFlow entries are pulled out of the NetFlow table based on the number of packets that each flow has. The results are displayed in descending order with the top talkers being the entries with the largest packet count. You can get the statistics for the network (the top 32 talkers will be displayed) or for a specified number of flows such as the top 1 or 2 talkers.

•Configuration rollback:

Provides for rolling back the current switch configuration file to a previously saved configuration file if the current file produces undesirable system results. This rollback feature provides a command to set multiple configuration "checkpoint" files. If you no longer want the current configuration file to run on the switch, you can return to one of these configuration checkpoint files quickly and with the least possible disturbance to switch functionality.

•SPAN—Multiple destination ports can be specified in each local SPAN session.

•NetFlow—Create NetFlow table entries on a per-VLAN basis.

•Time domain reflectometer (TDR) support added for the following modules: WS-X6748-GE-TX, WS-X6148A-GE-TX, WS-X6148A-GE-45AF, WS-X6148A-RJ-45, and WS-X6148A-45AF.

•Layer 2 protocol tunneling enhancements:

Provides for specifying the drop and shutdown thresholds for individual protocols on a per-port basis. If you configure thresholds only and do not specify a protocol, the packets are rate limited cumulatively irrespective of protocols. If you specify a threshold for a protocol on a port, the packets are rate limited on a cumulative basis and then per-protocol thresholds are applied to the packets.

•802.1X authentication failure VLAN:

On a traditional 802.1X port, the switch does not provide access to the network until the supplicant that is connected to the port is authenticated by verifying its identity information with an authentication server. With the authentication failure VLAN feature, you can configure the authentication failure VLAN on a per-port basis and after three failed 802.1X authentication attempts by the supplicant, the port is moved to the authentication failure VLAN where the supplicant can access the network.

•802.1X RADIUS server failover enhancements:

Before software release 8.4(1), when the active RADIUS server went down or was unreachable, the 802.1X authentication timed out before the backup RADIUS server could become active. With software release 8.4(1) and later releases, some RADIUS server timer values are now configurable and the show radius command has been enhanced to show the active RADIUS server.

•Shaped round robin (SRR):

Provides egress traffic shaping and is supported as an option on Supervisor Engine 32 1p3q8t ports. If you do not enable SRR, weighted round robin (WRR) is used. SRR only allows a queue to use the specific amount of bandwidth that the weight allocates.

•Support for the following MIBs:

–CISCO-SECURE-SHELL-MIB

–CISCO-RADIUS-MIB

–CISCO-COPY-CONFIG-MIB

–CISCO-VLAN-TRANSLATION-MIB

•WS-X6748-SFP module (48-port Gigabit Ethernet SFP)

Note Support for the WS-X6748-SFP module started in software release 8.3(2) and later releases.

Software Release 8.3 Software Features

Software release 8.3 provides support for these software features:

•DHCP snooping:

DHCP snooping provides security against Denial-Of-Service (DoS) attacks that are launched using DHCP messages by filtering DHCP packets and building and maintaining a DHCP-snooping binding table. DHCP snooping uses trusted and untrusted ports to filter the DHCP packets that are received by the switch.

•IP source guard:

IP source guard prevents IP spoofing by allowing only the IP addresses that are obtained through DHCP snooping on a particular port.

•Dynamic ARP inspection:

Dynamic ARP inspection (DAI) uses the binding information that is built by DHCP snooping to enforce the advertisement of bindings to prevent "man-in-the-middle" attacks. These attacks can occur when an attacker intercepts and selectively modifies communicated data to masquerade as one or more of the entries in a communication association. DAI adds an extra layer of security to ARP inspection by verifying that the ARP packet's MAC address and IP address match an existing DHCP snooping binding in the same VLAN.

•Port ACLs (PACLs):

Prior to software release 8.3(1), there were two types of access-lists—VACLs and IOS ACLs. The VACLs are applied to Layer 2 and Layer 3 forwarded traffic while the Cisco IOS ACLs are only applied to Layer 3 forwarded packets. Both access list types are applied to VLANs and filter traffic based on the packet header information.

Typically, a VLAN is composed of many physical ports. A PACL provides you with the extra granularity to filter traffic on a specific physical port. A PACL is an access list that is mapped to a physical port. Like VACLs, PACLs are applied to both Layer 2 and Layer 3 forwarded packets.

•Fabric enhancements with Supervisor Engine 720:

The integrated 720-Gbps switch fabric supports a high-availability failover to the standby switch fabric.

•Automatic QoS enhancement:

Allows you to clear the automatic QoS configuration by using a port-based clear command and a global clear command.

•Multiple collectors for NDE:

Allows NetFlow export data to be sent to two destinations simultaneously.

•PBF enhancements:

Simplifies the process of setting and committing the security ACLs and adjacency information.

•EtherChannel enhancements:

Clears and restores channel-based counters on a per-protocol and per-channel basis.

•Disables an auxiliary VLAN until an IP phone is detected:

Provides security for the auxiliary VLANs by ensuring that the auxiliary VLAN is not enabled until an IP phone is detected. As soon the switch detects the presence of an IP phone, the auxiliary VLAN is enabled.

•802.1X unidirectional controlled port:

Allows you to use wake-on LAN technology (also referred to as remote wake-up) to perform unattended system backups or software upgrades on hosts attached to the switch.

•802.1X with ACL assignments:

When you configure 802.1X with ACL assignments, you can automatically configure the QoS ACLs and VACLs to a user once the user is authenticated. The RADIUS server sends a QoS VLAN-based ACL, QoS port-based ACL, or VACL policy name with the authentication success packet. The policy that is associated with the policy name is already configured on the switch through the CLI. The policy is converted into a set of ACEs and then installed on the switch. Once you configure the 802.1X ACL assignments, the switch does the following:

–Authenticates the user(s)

–Uses DHCP snooping or dynamic ARP inspection to obtain the IP address of the user(s)

–Expands the ACL using the IP address(es) and programs the PFC

•802.1X user distribution:

Configuring the 802.1X user distribution feature allows you to distribute users that have the same group name across multiple VLANs. Prior to software release 8.3(1), the RADIUS VLAN assignment feature supported by 802.1X took the VLAN number obtained from the RADIUS server and added all users to that VLAN. With software release 8.3(1) and later releases, you can load balance 802.1X-authenticated users that are configured under one group name by distributing them evenly between VLANs.

•802.1X RADIUS accounting and tracking:

Allows you to send 802.1X user accounting information to the RADIUS server.

•802.1X authenticated identity-to-port description mappings:

Assigns a port description to the 802.1X port based on the information received from the RADIUS server. This feature makes use of an AV-Pair, "Supplicant Name," to uniquely assign a port description for an authenticated user.

•DNS resolution for a RADIUS server configuration:

Allows you to configure the RADIUS server using a DNS name in addition to IP addresses.

•VTP version 3 enhancement—MST mapping propagations:

Provides the ability to distribute the MST database across the network using VTP version 3.

•802.1s:

The Multiple Spanning Tree (MST) feature is the IEEE 802.1s and is an amendment to 802.1Q. MST extends the 802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree (RST) algorithm to multiple spanning trees. This extension provides for both rapid convergence and load balancing in a VLAN environment. In software release 8.3(1), the MST protocol is compliant with IEEE 802.1s and is backward compatible with 802.1D STP, 802.1w, the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP), and the Cisco PVST+ architecture that was implemented in previous software releases.

•Layer 2 PDU rate limiting:

The Layer 2 PDU rate limiters are supported in hardware, and they rate limit traffic on the Local Target Logic (LTL) index. You can configure up to four rate limiters. You can configure rate limiters to limit the following PDU types globally on the switch:

–Spanning-tree BPDUs—IEEE and SSTP, CDP, UDLD, VTP, and PAgP

–Layer 2 protocol tunnel-encapsulated PDUs

–802.1X port security

•Automatic module shutdown:

Automatically shut down any module based on the number of times that the module resets itself within a specified time frame. A module that frequently resets itself can disrupt traffic load balancing. By setting the automatic module shutdown, you can limit the number of times that the module resets itself before shutting down completely.

•System crash-info files:

The crash-info file contains extended system information that is captured very quickly when the system reloads due to an error condition. Like the core-dump file, the crash-info file is stored in the file system. The information in the crash-info file should be used in addition to the core-dump information and does not replace that information. By examining both the crash-info file and core-dump file, Cisco TAC can better analyze the error condition.

•MSFC autostate enhancements:

–Normal autostate mode—Autostate shuts down (or brings up) Layer 3 interfaces/subinterfaces on the MSFC and the Multilayer Switch Module (MSM) when specific port configuration changes occur on the switch.

–Autostate exclude mode—Allows you to specify the ports to exclude from autostate.

–Autostate track mode—Tracks key VLAN or port connections to the MSFC.

•Port security on trunk ports

•MAC address monitoring:

Because the Catalyst 6500 series switches learn the source MAC addresses automatically, the system is vulnerable to flooding of spoofed traffic and potential Denial of Service (DoS) attacks. To prevent traffic flooding and DoS attacks, you can monitor the number of MAC addresses that are learned by the system on a per-port, per-VLAN, or per-port-per-VLAN basis.

•CoS-to-CoS maps on IEEE 802.1Q tunnel ports:

Ingress Cos-to-CoS mapping is supported on 802.1Q tunnel ports on WS-X6704-10GE, WS-X6724-SFP, and WS-X6748-GE-TX switching modules. The CoS-to-CoS mapping feature is disabled on ports that are not configured as 802.1Q tunnel ports.

•Back up the VMPS configuration file:

When you reboot a Catalyst 6500 series switch that is configured as a VMPS server, the VMPS requests that are sent by the clients are queued by the TFTP server until the VMPS server downloads the VMPS configuration file from the VMPS server. To ensure that client access is not delayed during a system reboot, you can configure the switch to back up the VMPS configuration file locally and use this file until it is has downloaded the current VMPS configuration file from the remote TFTP server.

•SCP:

Secure Copy (SCP) provides a secure method for copying crypto image files. SCP relies on Secure Shell (SSH) and allows you to copy a crypto file to and from the system through an encrypted channel.

•Comparing configuration files:

You can compare the configuration files that are stored on the system to determine the differences between the configuration files or to check if changes have been made to the system configuration.

•Using Secure Shell Encryption for Telnet sessions (support for SSH version 2)

Secure Shell encryption provides security for Telnet sessions and other remote connections to the switch. Secure Shell encryption is supported for remote logins to the switch only. Telnet sessions that are initiated from the switch cannot be encrypted. To use this feature, you must install the application on the client accessing the switch, and you must configure Secure Shell encryption on the switch. The current implementation of Secure Shell encryption supports SSH version 1and version 2. SSH version 1 supports the DES and 3DES encryption methods, and SSH version 2 supports the 3 DES and AES encryption methods. Secure shell encryption can be used with RADIUS and TACACS+ authentication.

•GLBP:

Gateway Load Balancing Protocol (GLBP) provides load-balancing over multiple gateways through a single virtual IP address and multiple virtual MAC addresses. This protocol is similar to Host Standby Router Protocol (HSRP) and Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP). GLBP protects data traffic from a failed router or circuit, while allowing packet load sharing between a group of redundant routers.

•IGMP version 3 snooping with Multicast Multilayer Switching (MMLS):

Prior to software release 8.3(1), IGMP version 3 snooping operated only with MMLS disabled on the supervisor engine. This resulted in the IGMP version 3 snooping capability being available on individual bridged VLANs but there was no IGMP version 3 snooping support for hardware-switched Layer 3 flows. Software release 8.3(1) and later releases provides IGMP version 3 snooping with MMLS integration.

•CLI command logging:

Entering the show log command displays recorded commands executed from the CLI through Telnet, SSH, or console sessions. The log provides a history of the events and operations performed by users.

•Generic Attribute Registration Protocol (GARP) VLAN Registration Protocol (GVRP) support on Supervisor Engine 720

•Verify software images:

Because a software image goes through a sequence of transfers before it is copied into the memory of the switch, the integrity of the image is at risk each time that it is downloaded from Cisco.com. The image size and checksum are automatically checked when the image is copied, but these types of checks do not ensure that the downloaded image has not been corrupted. To ensure the integrity of any images that you download, you can use the set image-verification command. You can set image verification to work when booting, after the image has been copied, or before a system reset.

•Bidirectional PIM:

Supervisor Engine 720 supports hardware forwarding of bidirectional PIM groups. To support bidirectional PIM groups, the Supervisor Engine 720 implements a new mode called designated forwarder (DF) mode. The designated forwarder is the router that is elected to forward packets to and from a segment for a bidirectional PIM group. In DF mode, the supervisor engine accepts packets from the reverse path forwarding (RPF) interface and from the DF interface.

•VLAN manager enhancements:

Instead of reserved VLANs, we now have only user and internal VLANs. VLAN manager no longer permanently sets aside VLANs for features that require them; they are now dynamically assigned as needed. The entire VLAN range (1 to 4094) is now available for user (and internal) VLANs.

•QoS policer burst value change:

The burst value changed from 1-32000 (1 Kb to 32 Kb) to 1-256000 (1 Kb to 256 Mb)

•PFC3 output QoS ACLs trust change:

Egress traffic uses the same trust values as ingress traffic when attaching ACLs to a VLAN. Any traffic trusted at ingress will also be trusted at egress.

•UDI - Unique Device Identifier:

The Cisco Unique Device Identifier (UDI) provides inventory identification in the output of the show inventory command.

•System sanity check:

The show system sanity command runs a series of checks on the configuration and highlights possible conditions that could lead to problems with your configuration.

•System health check:

The show system health command tracks registers, counters, and software patch "kick-ins" and compiles a list of entities it considers as "unhealthy" for the system. The feature also lists CPU and memory utilization.

•Expanded memory support:

Software release 8.3(1) and later releases support up to 1-GB DRAM on the Supervisor Engine 720.

•SmartPort macros:

SmartPort macros provide a convenient way to save and share common configurations. You can use SmartPort macros to enable features and settings based on the location of a switch in the network and for mass configuration deployments across the network.

•Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP)

VRRP eliminates the single point of failure inherent in the static default routed environment.

Software Release 8.2 Software Features

Software release 8.2 provides support for these software features:

•Specifying a custom 802.1Q EtherType field

By specifying a custom EtherType field, your network can support Cisco and non-Cisco switches that do not use the standard 0x8100 EtherType to identify 802.1Q-tagged frames.

•Supervisor Engine 720 supports these QoS-related features:

–Egress QoS

–Egress DSCP mutation

–Optional egress DSCP rewrite

–Disable DSCP rewrite

–Support for a high-powered phone to negotiate a high-power mode (full screen brightness) when powered by a IEEE 802.3af Cisco PoE daughter card.

•Support for new SFPs and XENPAKs:

For information on SFP and XENPAK support, see the "SFP, XENPAK, and GBIC Behavior" section.

•New auto-10-100 keyword for the set port speed command:

Use the auto-10-100 keyword on ports that support speeds of 10/100/1000 Mbps. Using the auto-10-100 keyword makes the port behave the same as a 10/100-Mbps port that has the speed set to auto. The speed and duplex are negotiated (the 1000-Mbps speed does not take part in the negotiation).

•New auto-configure keyword for the set port security command:

Automatically configured addresses are not aged out and are retained across reboots. These addresses are retained if a secure port shuts down because of a security violation, if the port is administratively disabled, or if port security is disabled.

•Auto-MDI/MDIX capability:

You can use either straight or crossover cable, and the module will automatically detect and adjust for the cable type. For complete details, see the "Auto-MDI/MDIX" section.

•In software release 8.2.2, improved supervisor engine failover rates with high-availability enabled are as follows:

–In flow-through, truncated and compact modes, the Supervisor Engine 1 and Supervisor Engine 2 failover time is less than 500 ms.

–In flow-through mode, the Supervisor Engine 720 failover time is about 1.5 seconds. In truncated or compact mode, the Supervisor Engine 720 failover time is less than 3 seconds.

•In software release 8.2.1, the supervisor engine failover rates with high-availability enabled are as follows:

–In flow-through mode, the Supervisor Engine 1 and Supervisor Engine 2 failover time is less than 500 ms. With Supervisor Engine 720, the failover time is approximately 1.5 seconds.

–In truncated or compact mode, the Supervisor Engine 2 failover time is about 1.5 seconds. With Supervisor Engine 720, the failover time is approximately 3.5 seconds.

•The maximum number of permanent CAM entries has been increased from 128 to 256.

•Support for the following MIBs:

Features for Supervisor Engine Software Release 8.1

Note Maximum switching performance is achieved when all switch components are fabric enabled. The presence of nonfabric-enabled switching modules might impact overall switching performance.

These sections describe the features in software release 8.1, 30 June 2003:

•Software Release 8.1 Hardware Features

•Software Release 8.1 Software Features

•Software Release 8.1 Unsupported Software Features

Software Release 8.1 Hardware Features

Software release 8.1 provides initial support for these modules and chassis:

•Supervisor Engine 720 (WS-SUP720)

•4000 W DC-power supply (PWR-4000-DC)

•Cisco 7609 router chassis, 9 vertical slots (CISCO7609)

•XENPAK—Up to 10-kilometer range, 10GBASE-LR Serial 1310-nm long-haul (SMF) (XENPAK-10GB-LR)

Software Release 8.1 Software Features

Software release 8.1 provides support for these software features:

•VTP version 3—VTP version 3 differs from earlier VTP versions in that it does not directly handle VLANs. VTP version 3 is a protocol that is only responsible for distributing a list of opaque databases over an administrative domain. When enabled, VTP version 3 provides the following enhancements to previous VTP versions:

–Support for extended VLANs.

–Support for the creation and advertising of private VLANs.

–Improved server authentication.

–Protection from the "wrong" database accidentally being inserted into a VTP domain.

–Interaction with VTP version 1 and VTP version 2.

–Ability to be configured on a per-port basis.

•CallHome—You can use the CallHome feature to set your switch to e-mail or you can page a syslog message of a specified severity to a specified e-mail or pager address or a set of e-mail or pager addresses.

•Logging system information to a TFTP, FTP, or rcp server—You can configure your system to periodically execute up to 15 show commands and log the output of these commands in a file on a specified server. The information in the output can be used for debugging and troubleshooting purposes.

•TCL scripting—Tool Command Language (TCL) is a simple, programmable, text-based language that allows you to write command procedures that expand the capabilities of the built in set of commands. It is used primarily with interactive programs such as text editors, debuggers, illustrators, and shells. The Catalyst 6500 series switch software supports TCL version 7.4.

•VLAN port-provisioning verification—When VLAN port-provisioning verification is enabled, you must specify the VLAN name in addition to the VLAN number when assigning switch ports to VLANs. Because you are required to specify both the VLAN name and the VLAN number, this verification feature helps ensure that ports are not inadvertently placed in the wrong VLAN.

•FTP support for downloading software images.

•Increased number of command aliases—Use the set alias command to define up to 100 command aliases (shorthand versions of commands) for frequently used or long and complex commands.

•Increased number of MAC addresses supported (4097) for port security.

•Configure 802.1X guest VLANs on a per-port basis.

•Pipe command—Introduces a UNIX style output piping functionality to the Catalyst software. This feature enables you to pipe the output of a command, such as show port, to another command for post-processing.

•CMM online diagnostics are supported in software release 8.1(1) and later releases.

•Support for the following MIBs:

–ENTITY-MIB enhancement

–CISCO-UDLDP-MIB enhancement

System and Supervisor Engine

This section contains usage guidelines, restrictions, and troubleshooting information that apply to the supervisor engine and to the switch at the system level:

Note For information about AC power requirements and heat dissipation, refer to Chapter 2, "Preparing for Installation," of the Catalyst 6500 Series Switch Installation Guide:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/catalyst6500/hardware/Chassis_Installation/Cat6500/6500_ins.html

•On a Catalyst 6500 series switch that runs software release 8.7(3), the 10-Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports on a WS-SUP32-10GE-3B engine cannot transfer frames over 10100 bytes. The switch that operates with Supervisor Engine 720 does not support large frames over 9760 byte maximum transmission units (MTUs).

Note The large frames with 10100 bytes is not supported in Cisco IOS software.

Workaround: None. (CSCsg73697)

•On a Catalyst 6500 series switch that runs software release 8.7(3), enabling set cam zero-mac-filter using set cam zero-mac-filter enable command discards all the traffic that comes with the destination MAC address 00-00-00-00-00-00, and it is not seen in CAM table. The MAC address is learnt when the set cam zero-mac-filter is disabled.

Workaorund: None. (CSCsw16568)

•On a Catalyst 6500 series switch with WS-SUP32-10GE-3B that runs software release 8.7(1) or later, the configuration of the supervisor module is lost during an upgrade. This problem occurs when the switch operates in binary configuration mode.

Workaround: Upgrade the software in text configuration mode. (CSCsx47569)

•For Software Release 8.3(1) and later, the total power available in a system running combined mode will be equal to the larger of a) 1.67 * the smaller supply or b) the larger supply. The previous behavior was to add the output of both supplies. (CSCea60961)

•If a high percentage of traffic over 32 Gbps is switched through a 13-slot chassis, protocols such as UDLD, CDP, and STP, may fail and result in network downtime. Both Supervisor Engine 2 and Supervisor Engine 720 systems are affected. This problem affects only the 13-slot chassis. This problem is usually seen when the uplink ports on the Supervisor Engine are passing traffic but there needs to be traffic on other modules to reach 32 Gbps. (CSCee23154)

•Moving a Supervisor Engine 2 and MSFC2 between a Catalyst 6509 switch and a Catalyst 6503 switch may corrupt the MSFC2 NVRAM.

Workaround: Save the configuration to Flash memory and restore the configuration after the move. (CSCdy83320)

•Cisco 1200 series wireless access points may not receive power from a Catalyst 6500 series switch. This problem usually happens if the switch is reset or power cycled, if the module in the switch to which the access point is connected is reset or power cycled, or if a fast switchover occurs.

When this problem happens, a system message such as the following is displayed:

%SYS-3-PORT_DEVICENOLINK Device on port m/p powered but no link up

However, this system message may not always be seen depending on the type of module used.

Workaround: Disable the Ethernet port that the access point is connected to for 2 to 3 minutes and then enable the port again. If this does not resolve the problem, replace the AIR-RM20A radio module with the AIR-RM21A module. (CSCeg05847)

•The broadcast suppression counter undercounts packets that have a size evenly divisible by 16:

–A 64-byte packet should be counted as 4 but is counted as 3

–65- to 79-byte packets are correctly counted as 4

–An 80-byte packet should be counted as 5 but is counted as 4

–81- to 95-byte packets are correctly counted as 5

–A 96-byte packet should be counted as 6 but is counted as 5

(CSCdr56784)

•For software release 8.3(4) and later releases, the show fabric status command does not indicate the fabric speed.

•The set option command set was inadvertently removed from software releases 7.6(7) and 8.3(1). The set option command set will be available again (engineering mode only) in software releases 7.6(8) and 8.3(3).

•If you are running software release 8.3(1) or later on a Supervisor Engine 720 in text configuration mode and downgrade to software releases 8.1(x) or 8.2(1), the switch will crash with a TLB exception when the downgraded image is booted.

Workaround: To prevent this problem, enter the clear config all command before doing the downgrade. This problem is applicable only to the Supervisor Engine 720 in text configuration mode. Note that you do not see this problem when downgrading to software release 8.2(2). (CSCec56329)

•With Supervisor Engine 720, there is a CLI inconsistency between Cisco IOS images for the MSFC and Catalyst images for the supervisor engine due to changes to rate-limiter groups. The inconsistency does not affect rate limiting; it only affects the data displayed using the show mls rate command on the MSFC and show rate limit command on the supervisor engine. The inconsistency may cause the supervisor engine to enable/disable TTL Fail rate limiters as a side effect when some rate limiters, including RPF Fail, No-route, and ICMP unreachable, are enabled/disabled.

The inconsistency is due to a group change on the MSFC. There are two rate-limiter groups that were previously defined as follows:

a) ACL input and ACL output

b) RPF Fail, No-route, ICMP unreachable, and TTL Fail

In group b, for the MSFC, "TTL Fail" was replaced with "IP errors" in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(17a)SX1 but this change was not made in the supervisor engine software until software release 8.3(1).

If the MSFC and Catalyst images do not use the same grouping policy, the inconsistency problem remains. To avoid the inconsistency, note the following software guidelines:

–With Catalyst software release 8.3(1) and later releases, you must use Cisco IOS Release 12.2(17a)SX1 or later images.

–With Catalyst software releases 8.1(x) and 8.2(x), you must use images earlier than Cisco IOS Release 12.2(17a)SX1.

•When you save your configuration to a file when running software release 8.3(1), all trunk configurations are saved with the allowed VLAN range of 1 to 4094. If you try to reuse this configuration when downgrading to an earlier software release, all trunk-related commands fail because the earlier software release is expecting a VLAN range of 1 to 1005 and 1025 to 4094.

•MAC addresses—Theoretical and recommended limits

–PFC/PFC2: 128K theoretical maximum, 32K recommended

–PFC3: 64K theoretical maximum, 32K recommended

•A Supervisor Engine 2 might show 100 percent traffic utilization in the show system and show traffic command displays. This problem is cosmetic and does not indicate true traffic utilization. To correct the problem, you need to reprogram the Supervisor Engine 2 EPLD. To reprogram the EPLD, download the epld-sup2-trafficmeter-swupdate.hZ image and follow the instructions documented in the README.epld_update file. (CSCdx54751)

•The standby use-bia option should not be used in an HSRP configuration. MLS entries are not created when you us
