Cisco IOS Software Packaging

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

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

Starting with Cisco IOS Release XE 3.5.0E, OSPF Routed Access in IP Base supports up to 1000 routes.

Cisco IOS XE Release Strategy

Customers with Catalyst 4500-X Series Switches who need the latest hardware and software features should migrate to Cisco IOS Release XE 3.7.0E.

IOS XE 3.4.xSG and 3.6.xE are extended maintenance (EM) trains supporting 4500-X. IOS XE 3.3.xSG and 3.5.xE standard maintenance (SM) trains supporting 4500-X.

Figure 1 displays all the active trains.

Upgrading the System Software

If you are upgrading to IOS XE Version 3.7.0E and plan to use VSS, you must upgrade your ROMMON to IOS Version 15.0(1r)SG11.

ISSU is supported on 4500X in VSS configuration.

If dual supervisor engines are present, first upgrade your software to Cisco IOS XE 3.2.0SG or later, then upgrade your ROMMON to IOS Version 15.0(1r)SG7 to avoid an uplinks issue (CSCtj54375).

Limitations and Restrictions

  • mGRE with NHRP (DMVPN) is not supported.
  • The maximum MTE supported on Catalyst 4500 switches is 8000, per direction.
  • Although the show memory command is supported on Catalyst 4500 series switches, the CLI output for the command shows the value 0 for the config total, on Catalyst 4500 series switches using a daughter card on Supervisor Engine 7-E. This issue is, however, not seen on switches with Supervisor Engine 7-E baseboard. (CSCup28930)
  • When you install the GLC-T (1000Base-T) SFP transceiver,  10/100 Mbps with auto negotiation is not supported.
  • When you use the GLC-GE-100FX module between a Cisco Catalyst 4500-X switch and a Cisco Catalyst 2000 or 3000 series switch, traffic does not flow after the first time you change the interface from half duplex to a full duplex.

Workaround : You have to enter the shutdown and then the no shutdown interface configuration command for traffic flow to resume. (CSCus14532)

  • The system allows you to delete policy maps related to these Auto QoS profiles:

– Auto QoS enterprise

– Auto QoS guest

– Auto QoS voice

The problem is seen on a Catalyst 4500 series switch running Cisco IOS-XE release 3.7.0E, when you configure QoS using Auto Qos and you try to delete an Auto QoS profile related policy map.

Workaround : To recover the deleted policy-map, remove all the policies related to that profile, remove Auto QoS configuration from the WLAN, and then reconfigure Auto QoS.

  • VSS: Do not use SVLAN for routing in SP network on ingress switch (where the mapping is present). This is not a valid scenario.
  • Starting with Release IOS XE 3.3.0SG, the seven RP restriction was removed.
  • 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 (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.
  • Performing an ISSU from a prior release to IOS XE 3.6.0E is not supported.
  • 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>

  • When attaching an 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

  • 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.
  • Energywise WOL is not “waking up” a PC in hibernate or standby mode.

Workaround: None. CSCtr51014

  • When OSPFv3 LSA throttling is configured, rate limiting does not take effect for a few minutes.

WorkAround: None. CSCtw86319

  • The ROMMON version number column in the output of show module command is truncated.

Workaround: Use the show version command. CSCtr30294

  • IP SLA session creation fails randomly for various 4-tuples.

Workaround: Select an alternate destination or source port. CSCty05405

  • The system cannot scale to greater than 512 SIP flows with MSP and metadata enabled.

Workaround: None. CSCty79236

  • When either the RADIUS-server test feature is enabled or RADIUS-server dead-criteria is configured, and either RADIUS-server deadtime is set to 0 or not configured, 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

  • 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 is observed during the upgrade process.

Workaround: Do not use the quick option with the issu changeversion command. CSCto51562

  • While configuring an IPv6 access-list, if you specify hardware statistics as the first statement in v6 access-list mode (i.e. before issuing any other v6 ACE statement), it will not take effect. Similarly, your hardware statistics configuration will be missing from the output of the show running command.

You will not experience this behavior with IPv4 access lists.

Workaround: During IPv6 access-list configuration, configure at least one IPv6 ACE before the "hardware statistics" statement. CSCuc53234

  • Routed packets that are fragmented are not policed if the egress interface is on the VSS Standby switch. However, if the egress interface is on the VSS active switch, these packets are policed.

This applies to QoS policing only. QoS marking, shaping and sharing behave as expected.

Workaround: None. CSCub14402

  • When an IPv6 FHS policy is applied on a VLAN and an EtherChannel port is part of that VLAN, packets received by EtherChannel (from neighbors) are not bridged across the local switch.

Workaround: Apply FHS policies on a non EtherChannel port rather than a VLAN. CSCua53148

  • During VSS conversion, the switch intended as the Standby device may require up to 9 minutes to reach an SSO state. The boot up time depends on the configuration and on the number of line cards in the system.

Workaround: None. CSCua87538

  • An incorrect module number is displayed in the console messages during boot up of a Cat4500X VSS.
*Jul 18 12:36:11.138: %C4K_IOSMODPORTMAN-6-MODULEONLINE: Module 11 (WS-C4500X-32
S/N: JAE154503I8 Hw: 1.0) is online
 

Because the Catalyst 4500-X is a “fixed” configuration device, in a VSS, you would expect the two systems to be labeled 'Module 1' and 'Module 2.’ However, because of software implementation similarities with the modular Catalyst 4500E series switches, the Standby switch is labeled 'Module 11.’

Workaround: None. CSCub11632

  • Memory allocation failures can occur if more than 16K IPv6 multicast snooping entries are present.

Workaround: None. CSCuc77376

  • Beginning with IOS Release XE 3.5.0E, error messages that occur when a QoS policy is applied will no longer appear directly on the console when no logging console is configured. They will appear only when a logging method is active (e.g., logging buffered, logging console, …).

Workaround: None. CSCuf86375

  • Setting a cos value based on QoS group triggers the following error message in a VSS system
set action fail = 9
 

Workaround: None. QoS groups are not supported in VSS. CSCuc84739

  • Auto negotiation cannot be disabled on the Fa1 port. It must be set to auto/auto, or fixed speed with duplex auto.
  • The following messages are seen during boot up after POST check.
Rommon reg: 0x00004F80
Reset2Reg: 0x00000F00
 
Image load status: 0x00000000

  • When a logging discriminator is configured and applied to a device, memory leak is seen under heavy syslog or debug output. The rate of the leak is dependent on the quantity of logs produced. In extreme cases, the device may crash. As a workaround, disable the logging discriminator on the device (CSCur45606, CSCur28336).
