Upgrading the Switch Software Cisco routinely removes old Cisco IOS versions from Cisco.com. See Product Bulletin 2863 for more information: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/iosswrel/ps5187/prod_bulletin0900aecd80281c0e.html You can copy the bin software image file on the flash memory to the appropriate TFTP directory on a host by using the copy flash: tftp: privileged EXEC command. Note Although you can copy any file on the flash memory to the TFTP server, it is time consuming to copy a

Installation Notes Step 5 (Optional) Ensure that you have IP connectivity to the TFTP server by entering this privileged EXEC command: Switch# ping tftp-server-address For more information about assigning an IP address and default gateway to the switch, see the software configuration guide for this release. Step 6 Download the image file from the TFTP server to the switch. If you are installing the same version of software that is currently on the switch, overwrite the current image by enterin

Limitations and Restrictions Limitations and Restrictions You should review this section before you begin working with the switch. These are known limitations that will not be fixed, and there is not always a workaround. Some features might not work as documented, and some features could be affected by recent changes to the switch hardware or software. This section contains these limitations: • “Cisco IOS Limitations” section on page 7 • “Device Manager Limitations” section on page 11 Cisco IO

Limitations and Restrictions • When port security is enabled on an interface in restricted mode and the switchport block unicast interface command has been entered on that interface, MAC addresses are incorrectly forwarded when they should be blocked The workaround is to enter the no switchport block unicast interface configuration command on that specific interface. (CSCee93822) • A traceback error occurs if a crypto key is generated after an SSL client session. There is no workaround. This i

Limitations and Restrictions MAC Addressing Multicasting These are the multicasting limitations: • If the number of multicast routes and Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) groups are more than the maximum number specified by the show sdm prefer global configuration command, the traffic received on unknown groups is flooded in the received VLAN even though the show ip igmp snooping multicast-table privileged EXEC command output shows otherwise. The workaround is to reduce the number of m

Limitations and Restrictions QoS These are the quality of service (QoS) limitations: • Some switch queues are disabled if the buffer size or threshold level is set too low with the mls qos queue-set output global configuration command. The ratio of buffer size to threshold level should be greater than 10 to avoid disabling the queue. The workaround is to choose compatible buffer sizes and threshold levels. (CSCea76893) • When auto-QoS is enabled on the switch, priority queuing is not enabled.

Important Notes • For trunk ports or access ports configured with IEEE 802.1Q tagging, inconsistent statistics might appear in the show interfaces counters privileged EXEC command output. Valid IEEE 802.1Q frames of 64 to 66 bytes are correctly forwarded even though the port LED blinks amber, and the frames are not counted on the interface statistics. There is no workaround. (CSCec35100). VLAN This is the VLAN limitation: • If the number of VLANs times the number of trunk ports exceeds the rec

Open Caveats • CSCsc96474 The switch might display tracebacks similar to these examples when a large number of IEEE 802.1x supplicants try to repeatedly log in and log out. Examples: Jan 3 17:54:32 L3A3 307: Jan 3 18:04:13.459: %SM-4-BADEVENT: Event 'eapReq' is invalid for the current state 'auth_bend_idle': dot1x_auth_bend Fa9 Jan 3 17:54:32 L3A3 308: -Traceback= B37A84 18DAB0 2FF6C0 2FF260 8F2B64 8E912C Jan 3 19:06:13 L3A3 309: Jan 3 19:15:54.720: %SM-4-BADEVENT: Event 'eapReq_no_reAuthMax'

Resolved Caveats • CSCsg81334 If IEEE 802.1x critical authentication is not enabled and the RADIUS authentication server is temporarily unavailable during a reauthentication, when the RADIUS server comes back up, MAC authentication bypass (MAB) does not authenticate a previously authenticated client. The workaround is to enter the shutdown interface configuration command followed by the no shutdown command on the port connected to the client. An alternative, to prevent the problem from occurrin

Updates to System Message Guide • CSCsc29225 When you remove the bridge topology change trap with the no snmp-server enable traps bridge topologychange configuration command, the stpx root-inconsistency trap is now active. • CSCsd08314 When you remove a voice VLAN that has no per-VLAN configuration from a secure port, a PORT_SECURITY-6-VLAN_REMOVED message no longer appears. Note If an address was learned on a VLAN, the error message still appears when that VLAN is aged out or removed. However
