    Installation Notes This example shows how to download an image from a TFTP server at 198.30.20.19 and to overwrite the image on the switch: Switch# archive download-sw /overwrite tftp://198.30.20.19/imagename.tar You can also download the image file from the TFTP server to the switch and keep the current image by replacing the /overwrite option with the /leave-old-sw option.
  • Page 7: Limitations And Restrictions

    Limitations and Restrictions RADIUS server load balancing to allow access and authentication requests to be distributed evenly • across a server group. • Support for the SCP attribute in the CONFIG_COPY MIB. Support for the CISCO-AUTH-FRAMEWORK-MIB, CISCO-MAC-AUTH-BYPASS, and LLDP • MIBs.
  • Page 8 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.
  • Page 9 Limitations and Restrictions Multicasting 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.
  • Page 10 Limitations and Restrictions 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.
  • Page 11: Important Notes

    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.
  • Page 12 Important Notes Cisco IOS Release 12.2(40)SE and later • If the switch has interfaces with automatic QoS for voice over IP (VoIP) configured and you upgrade the switch software to Cisco IOS Release 12.2(40)SE (or later), when you enter the auto qos voip cisco-phone interface configuration command on another interface, you might see this message: AutoQoS Error: ciscophone input service policy was not properly applied policy map AutoQoS-Police-CiscoPhone not configured...
  • Page 13: Open Caveats

    Open Caveats The device manager uses the HTTP protocol (the default is port 80) and the default method of • authentication (the enable password) to communicate with the switch through any of its Ethernet ports and to allow switch management from a standard web browser. If you change the HTTP port, you must include the new port number when you enter the IP address in the browser Location or Address field (for example, http://10.1.126.45:184 where 184 is the new HTTP port number).
  • Page 14 Resolved Caveats CSCso57496 • A switch no longer fails when you enter the configure replace privileged EXEC command, and a banner is already present in the switch configuration. CSCso90107 • You can now query the bgpPeerTable MIB for VPN/VRF interfaces. CSCsq51052 •...
  • Page 15 Resolved Caveats CSCta36155 • A switch configured with 802.1x and port security on the same ports no longer might inappropriately put the ports into an error-disabled state. CSCta56469 • Moving a PC between two IP Phones without disconnecting either phone from the switch no longer triggers a port-security violation.
  • Page 16 Resolved Caveats CSCsy41470 • The switch no longer runs out of memory when an smnpwalk, snmpget, or snmpbulkwalk is run on the CISCO-ENERGYWISE-MIB. Cisco IOS Caveats Resolved in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(50)SE • CSCsq26873 The server no longer attempts re-authentication every ten minutes when a switch is configured with the dot1x timeout reauth-period server interface configuration command.
  • Page 17: Documentation Updates

    Documentation Updates CSCsv63345 • When you enter the show interface command, the bandwidth and delay fields now display correct information for all ports. CSCsv64023 • A switch port configured for IGMP snooping no longer lose its group membership when the port receives a query comes from an upstream device that is not configured for IGMP snooping.
