    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/c3750-ipservices-tar.122-44.SE.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 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.
  • 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 IP Telephony This is the IP telephony limitation: After you change the access VLAN on a port that has IEEE 802.1x enabled, the IP phone address is removed. Because learning is restricted on IEEE 802.1x-capable ports, it takes approximately 30 seconds before the address is relearned.
  • Page 10 Limitations and Restrictions When IGMP snooping is disabled and you enter the switchport block multicast interface • configuration command, IP multicast traffic is not blocked. The switchport block multicast interface configuration command is only applicable to non-IP multicast traffic. There is no workaround. (CSCee16865) Incomplete multicast traffic can be seen under either of these conditions: •...
  • Page 11 Limitations and Restrictions During periods of very high traffic when two RSPAN source sessions are configured, the VLAN ID • of packets in one RSPAN session might overwrite the VLAN ID of the other RSPAN session. If this occurs, packets intended for one RSPAN VLAN are incorrectly sent to the other RSPAN VLAN. This problem does not affect RSPAN destination sessions.

    Documentation Updates CSCsg48163 • When the flow control setting for received pause frames is enabled, the switch no longer shows the flow control operational state as off.
