Upgrading Cisco IOS Software from Earlier Cisco IOS Releases
Caution
Before you upgrade to Cisco IOS Release 12.0(19)SL2, save your current configuration file. If you decide to re-install Release 12.0(14)SL, or an earlier release, you must also re-install the configuration file associated with that release. This is because some BGP configuration-file entries in Release 12.0(19)SL2 are not compatible with Release 12.0(14)SL or earlier releases.
System Requirements
We recommend that you use 512 MB of memory for the Performance Routing Engine (PRE). New PREs are shipped with 512 MB of memory. In a redundant setup, both PREs should have the same amount of memory.
New Features in Cisco IOS Release 12.0(19)SL
The following new features and improvements are supported in Cisco IOS Release 12.0(19)SL:
NetFlow Accounting—Supports gathering and exporting Version 5 and Version 8 record types to NetFlow FlowCollectors, and provides basic metering for a key set of applications, including network traffic accounting, usage-based network billing, network planning, and network monitoring capabilities.
GRE Tunneling—Supports GRE IP and DVMRP multicast tunnel modes to transport otherwise unroutable packets across the IP network and provide data separation for VPN services. GRE tunnels make it possible to have multiprotocol local networks running over a single-protocol backbone. They also provide workarounds for networks containing protocols that have limited hop counts, connectivity for discontinuous subnetworks, and allow VPNs to connect across wide-area networks. DVMRP multicast tunnel modes are only supported between the Cisco 10000 series ESR and a Sun SPARCstation running DVMRP Version 3.8 or higher.
Policy-Based Routing (PBR)—Provides a tool for expressing and implementing the forwarding or routing of data packets based on the policies defined by network administrators. PBR is a way to have policy override on routing protocol decisions by selectively applying policies based on access list or packet size. Network administrators can also use PBR to selectively change the IP ToS, IP precedence, and IP QoS Group fields for matching incoming packets on an interface.
The Cisco 10000 series ESR supports a maximum of 255 PBR policies and 32 route maps within each policy. The following subset of policy-based routing commands are supported in this release of Cisco IOS software:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Turbo QoS—Provides efficient handling of QoS policy maps for fast packet classification and a QoS solution that scales.
Subinterface Policy Maps—Allows you to use the service-policy command to configure QoS features at the subinterface level in addition to configuring QoS features on main interfaces. The types of subinterfaces supported include Frame Relay, ATM (both UBR and VBR), and 802.1Q VLAN. ATM VBR subinterfaces support all QoS features including queueing. On all other subinterface types, any queueing-related commands in the service-policy such as bandwidth, priority, shape, queue-limit and random-detect are ignored.
Diffserv WRED—Extends the functionality of WRED to enable support for Differentiated Services (DiffServ) and Assured Forwarding (AF) Per Hop Behavior (PHB). DiffServ WRED enables customers to implement AF PHB by coloring packets according to DSCP values and then assigning preferential drop probabilities to those packets.
PQ/CBWFQ on ATM PVCs—Allows a service policy, including class queue policy statements, to be attached to ATM VBR VCs. To enable this feature, use the Modular Quality of Service Command-Line Interface (MQC) syntax.
Cisco 10000 Series ESR Software Features
Table 1 lists the features supported in the Cisco 10000 series ESR.
Limitations and Restrictions
This section describes any limitations and restrictions that you should review before you use the Cisco 10000 series ESR.
Automatic Protection Switching Support
Automatic protection switching (APS) is supported on the OC-12 Packet Over SONET (POS) and Channelized OC-12 (ChOC-12) line cards with this release. However, certain limitations apply if the PRE installed in your system is the ESR-PRE. These limitations do not apply to the ESR-PRE1. You can verify which PRE is installed in the ESR by using the show version command.
For APS to work properly with the ESR-PRE, you must ensure that the OC-12 POS or ChOC-12 line card is installed in the lower-numbered (odd) slot.
The system receives clocking information from the line card in the odd slot. If you remove the odd-numbered card (or if the clocking mechanism on that card fails), the clocking is lost and the data path is shut down (Caveat CSCdr81416).
As a workaround, we recommend the following:
1.
2.
Router(config)# redundancyRouter(config-r)# no associate 3 4Router(config-r-a-sl)# exitRouter(config)# interface pos 3/0/0Router(config-if)# shutdownYou can now remove the card in slot 3.
3.
Controlling the Rate of Logging Messages
It is important that you limit the rate that system messages are logged by the Cisco 10000 series ESR. This avoids a situation where the router becomes unstable and the CPU is overloaded. Use the logging rate-limit command to control the output of messages from the system.
We recommend that you configure the logging rate-limit command as follows:
Router(config)# logging rate-limit console all 10 except criticalThis command rate-limits all messages to the console to 10 per second, except for messages with critical priority (level 3) or greater.
For more information on the logging rate-limit command, see the Cisco IOS Configuration Fundamentals Command Reference.
Testing Performance of High-Speed Interfaces
Since Cisco IOS Release 12.0(17)SL, the software has been enhanced with multiple queues for all classes of traffic over high-speed interfaces. The software selects a queue based on the source and destination address for the packet. This ensures that a traffic flow always uses the same queue and the packets are transmitted in order.
When the Cisco 10000 series ESR is installed in a real network, the high-speed interfaces work efficiently to spread traffic flows equally over the queues. However, using single traffic streams in a laboratory environment may result in less-than-expected performance.
Therefore, to ensure accurate test results, you should test the throughput of the gigabit Ethernet, POS, or ATM uplink with multiple source or destination addresses.
Tip
Important Notes
This section contains important issues that you should be aware of with Cisco IOS Release 12.0(19)SL and previous releases.
Frame Relay and PPP Sessions
You can run up to 4200 Frame Relay sessions or 1300 PPP sessions, and you can configure up to 800 BGP peers on the Cisco 10000 series ESR. The router also supports up to 512 Multilink Point-to-Point (MLP) protocol sessions.
Note
Cisco Discovery Protocol
Starting with Cisco IOS Release 12.0(15)SL, the Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) is disabled by default. You can enable CDP on an interface using the cdp enable command.
Resolved Problems in Cisco IOS Release 12.0(19)SL2
This section lists problems that were found since the release of Cisco IOS Release 12.0(19)SL1, and have been resolved in Cisco IOS Release 12.0(19)SL2.
CSCdu81936
Previously, if the router received an ARP packet containing the interface address of that router, but with a different MAC address, it sometimes overwrote the MAC address of the router in the ARP table and caused the interface to stop sending and receiving traffic. This occurred only on interfaces located on the Ethernet segment that were local to the host that sent the ARP packet. This problem has been fixed.
CSCdv46423
In the past, if you enabled MPLS in a VPN environment on a Cisco router and you issued the aggregate-address command, spurious memory access occurred followed by the router reloading with a bus error. This no longer occurs.
CSCdv49141
In a Cisco 10000 series ESR with a channelized OC-12 line card installed, sometimes all of the interfaces (channel groups) associated with a given channelized T3 were up, but the line protocol was down. This problem has been fixed.
CSCdv49324
In the past, when labels were applied to NetFlow export records before being transmitted from the router, the router reloaded unexpectedly. This no longer occurs.
CSCdv59212
Previously, if you applied an outbound service policy to an ATM physical interface, VBR PVCs experienced unaccounted outbound-traffic loss. This occurred under the following conditions:
•
•
•
This problem has been fixed.
CSCdv80357
In the past, if the Cisco 10000 series ESR was configured with 100,000 or more routes and you reloaded the PXF microcode, the console prompt did not appear for 30 seconds. This no longer occurs.
CSCdv81745
Previously, if you configured the class-map using the type match-any command (containing multiple match clauses), the output of the show policy-map interface command showed incorrect packet and byte counts values for the class-map matches. This problem has been fixed.
CSCdw01576
In the past, if you changed the encapsulation on a subinterface to dot1q while the subinterface was shut down, the following messages appeared:
11:08:24: %GENERAL-3-EREVENT: c10k_dot1q_vlan_enable: No tt_info-Traceback= 600EA13C 600EA368 60298F48 60298684 60298374 6026467C 601166606027166C 602BAA0C 602BA9F811:09:53: %GENERAL-3-EREVENT: No current_if_info-Traceback= 600A0538 60090344 600905EC 60091098 601F2BC4 601F321C 603B42F8603B5F7C 603B4D80 603B5218 60374800 602BAA0C 602BA9F811:09:59: %GENERAL-3-EREVENT: get_injection_vcci: no info for VLAN ID %d-Traceback= 600A0808 60073760 60073A00 60293CA4 60375264 603B5194 603B522C60374800 602BAA0C 602BA9F8This problem has been fixed.
CSCdw01586
Previously, BGP neighbors sometimes did not establish sessions when they were configured as individual peers or members of a peer group. This no longer occurs.
CSCdw01591
In the past, if a loopback or a fast Ethernet interface was configured as a VPN, the following messages appeared when you configured or reloaded the Cisco 10000 series ESR:
19 08:37:15 ESDT: %GENERAL-3-EREVENT: No c10k_tt_hwsb in c10k_rp_configure_interface_forwardingThis is no longer a problem.
CSCdw01599
Previously, if 802.1q subinterfaces were present in the startup configuration of the Cisco 10000 series ESR, the following messages appeared as the router was booting:
c10k_ttcm_write: Illegal access to toaster memory,state=1.c,r=0,0, flags=0x00000000, src=0x613526E8, dst=0x51C4B200, len=2This problem has been fixed.
CSCdw04099
In the past, if you configured BGP as-override for a peer group, and later added members to that group, as-override did not take effect for the new members. This no longer occurs.
CSCdw04701
Previously, if you configured Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) on an interface and you reloaded the Cisco 10000 series ESR, the CDP commands for the interface did not save. This has been fixed.
CSCdw04716
In the past, if you enabled CDP on an interface, the interface sometimes flapped. This no longer occurs.
CSCdw05881
Error messages appeared on the console of a Cisco 10000 series ESR that was connected back-to-back to another Cisco 10000 series ESR through 16 ports of an 8-port unchannelized E3/T3 line card. This occurred with traffic had been running for more the 13 hours. This problem has been fixed.
CSCdw06189
Previously, you could not send a ping through an MPLS tunnel on the Cisco 10000 series ESR. This problem has been fixed.
CSCdw08632
With certain Frame Relay RTP priority queue configurations, the Cisco 10000 series ESR stopped using Frame Relay fair-dlci queues and directed all PVC traffic to the interface default queue instead. This no longer occurs.
CSCdw11533
Previously, if you configured the same ACL to both the inbound and outbound directions of an interface, the entire ACL was deleted. This problem has been fixed.
CSCdw13175
In the past, if you issued the shutdown command on an ATM point-to-point subinterface, and then enabled it by issuing the no shutdown command, the service policy on the subinterface stopped working. This no longer occurs.
CSCdw14780
Previously, if you used the service-policy output command, it failed and an error message appeared. This problem has been fixed.
Resolved Problems in Cisco IOS Release 12.0(19)SL1
This section lists problems that were found since the release of Cisco IOS Release 12.0(19)SL, and have been resolved in Cisco IOS Release 12.0(19)SL1.
CSCdv52938
Previously, if NetFlow Accounting was enabled, and the router received large amounts of traffic, the router reloaded unexpectedly. This no longer occurs.
CSCdv58945
When large FDL packets of invalid lengths were received by the channelized ChOC-12 line card, the contents of the packet were printed on the line card console. In the case of a large FDL packet, excessive printing on the line card console caused the line card to reset. This has been fixed.
CSCdv66454
Previously, pings originating from the Cisco 10000 series ESR, PE to CE, failed over Multilink PPP bundles. This no longer occurs.
CSCdv75271
A small percentage (less than 10%) of OC-12 ATM and OC-3 ATM line cards failed to boot while under the control of Cisco IOS software due to an unexpected Systems Error (SERR) interrupt. This has been fixed.
CSCdv79571
A problem between the release of Cisco IOS Release 12.0(15)SL and Cisco IOS Release 12.0(17)SL existed in which upgrading Cisco IOS software on some ATM networks failed because all packets, after a few seconds, were marked as ignored input errors. This no longer occurs.
CSCdv83722
Previously, when a VC was being OAM managed and the VCs were oversubscribed, the status of the VCs could continually change between up and down.
CSCdv84423
Due to a race condition in the SAR firmware, in rare circumstances it was possible for a VC to become stuck in a close pending state and become unusable. This has been fixed.
CSCdv85009
Previously, the Cisco 10000 series ESR did not respond to a traceroute if the destination IP address was in the range of x.x.x.224 to x.x.x.239. This no longer occurs.
CSCdv85737
Previously, if you configured mcast, with multiple uplinks over ATM, the mcast connection could timeout every three minutes, requiring that the mcast groups be recreated.
Caveats in Cisco IOS Release 12.0(19)SL
Table 2 describes the caveats for the Cisco 10000 series ESR running Cisco IOS Release 12.0(19)SL.
Resolved Problems in Cisco IOS Release 12.0(19)SL

CSCdr98341
The Flash disk can fall into the chassis when you insert the disk into the empty space to the right of slot B in the PRE flash assembly.
CSCds48362
The show interface output occasionally displays an extremely large number of configured VCs which do not exist.
CSCds50249
If incoming multicast packets match an input access list that has the log option enabled, the output of the show log command and show access-list commands display double the number of matches.
CSCds69465
Ping traffic does not resume after switching from an explicit path to a dynamic path.
CSCdt00312
The flash file delete function may choose the wrong default device when you request deletion of a file from flash storage. The incorrect default used is slot0:.
CSCdt21254
When the ACL is downloaded from the tftp server, the CPU advances to 100% utilization and several line cards lost IPC with the PRE and are reset.
CSCdt28444
In a chassis using TACACS security and running redundant PREs, you can access the console while the secondary PRE is cutting over to primary PRE. If no action is taken on the console for the length of the session timeout period, TACACS engages on the console. If the user does access the console during the cutover, the user enters exec mode (not enable mode).
CSCdt47342
TFIB table failure.
CSCdt76746
In some cases, ATM counters display incorrect packet input values after receiving packets from several locations (for example, the line card, IOS, and the PXF forwarding engine).
CSCdu28935
When the interface on the remote end is set to be administratively down, and you are attempting to bring up the PPP protocol, the status of the interface alternate between down and up until the PPP protocol is up.
CSCdu61078
Cannot ping Cisco 10000 series ESR over PPLB group.
Resolved Problems in Cisco IOS Release 12.0(17)SL2

CSCdu31306
A PFX stall error with 126 multilink PPPs in a QoS configuration no longer occurs.
CSCdu58727
Priority queues no longer experience tail drops when the line card is under heavy load.
CSCdu65451
Duplicate caveat which was resolved (see CSCdu73749).
CSCdu87866
When you unconfigure and configure the router using the copy tftp run command, the router no longer stops responding.
CSCdv04992
A large increase in latency for multilink PPP bundles combined with an increase in the number of packet tail drops no longer causes a dramatic decrease in performance.
CSCdv05972
Duplicate caveat which was resolved (see CSCdv12192).
CSCdv07513
The PXF stall error no longer occurs in column 6 during low traffic.
CSCdv08702
There is no longer a slow buffer leak when you run multicast input on MLP.
CSCdv12192
There is no longer a buffer leak in multilink PPP column 7.
Resolved Problems in Cisco IOS Release 12.0(17)SL1
This section lists problems that were resolved in Cisco IOS Release 12.0(17)SL1.
CSCdt11794
If you enter the dir disk0/1 command at the rommon prompt, a TLB (Store) Exception error message no longer appears.
CSCdu71387
If the router receives an IP packet with Ethernet padding over the MLP bundle, it now properly passes the packet to the line card.
CSCdu73749
When the router was configured with large numbers of routes, clearing the entire routing table caused high CPU use. In rare cases, the line cards or Cisco IOS software rebooted. This problem no longer occurs.
Resolved Problems in Cisco IOS Release 12.0(17)SL
This section lists problems that were resolved in Cisco IOS Release 12.0(17)SL. For a list of problems that were resolved in previous Cisco IOS Releases, refer to the release notes for those particular versions.
CSCdr32279
When you enter the hw-module slot_number reset command, and the logging console is configured to informational, the event sequence no longer appears in a different order than that shown by the reload command.
CSCdr52081 and CSCdj94209
Previously, the PRE could crash if you repeatedly changed a port back and forth from channelized to unchannelized. This no longer occurs.
CSCdr92058
Previously, large multicast groups could cause CPU hog issues with PIM. This has been fixed.
CSCds04367
When older CT3 line cards were powered on, with live DS3 signals present at the receive BNC connector, the receive line interface device on the board could possibly lock up, preventing the controller from running. This no longer occurs.
CSCds18665
If the interface between a PE (PE1) and CE router went down, MPLS labels would disappear at the far end provider edge peer (PE2) MPLS interface. This has been fixed.
CSCds36117
If you entered the clear ip mroute command on a system with large multicast groups, CPU hog issues could arise that caused problems of moderate severity (such as losing keepalives). This no longer occurs.
CSCds51102
Previously, if you performed an SNMP walk or viewed entries in the if table, cef-layer internal interfaces appeared in the interface table.
CSCds55667
Previously, the Kentrox DS3 subrate mode did not work when you set it to full bandwidth (45.2 Mbps on Kentrox CSU, 44210 kbps on a Cisco 10000 series ESR).
CSCds86293
If you issued the dir or show slot0: or show slot1: command, the router reported Open device slot0 failed (Device not ready). This has been fixed.
CSCds89640
If large OIDs (1024.1 fields) were sent to the router, the Cisco 10000 series ESR stopped responding. This no longer occurs.
CSCds91966
Previously, if you deleted a T1/E1, IP routes associated with subinterfaces were not removed.
CSCdt11390
On a Cisco 10000 series ESR system with channelized OC-12 line cards, the output of the show controllers command is now complete and correct.
CSCdt31691
When a large number of VBR-nrt VCs are configured (200 and above) and the link transitions DOWN, the host software running on the OC-12 ATM line card no longer takes a SW Watchdog timeout, forcing the line card firmware to reload.
CSCdt34428
If you perform OIR on a line card configured for 768 PPP sessions with traffic running on all interfaces, interfaces no longer fail to come up. The show interface command now displays the correct IPCP state.
CSCdt42890
On rare occasions, line cards would not be recognized when you performed an OIR of multiple cards on a new system, or in a system in which the configuration was erased (for example, using write erase). This has been fixed.
CSCdt63446
If an access-list with logging option enabled is attached to an interface, and you send traffic through the interface, the interfaces no longer go down.
CSCdt67315
Under circumstances where ATM VCs are created and deleted on a regular basis, the OC-12 ATM segmenter firmware will no longer transition to a state in which it drops some packets without counting them in a data stream where packet sizes alternate from small to large.
CSCdt74932
Previously, when a TU-AIS was received at a particular TU in TUG3#3, the next TU at the T1 or E1 level contained data corruption. This no longer occurs.
CSCdt76739
If you remove an APS configuration for a channelized OC-12 line card, and then issue the show controllers sonet high_slot_number command, or the show controllers sonet command, the Cisco 10000 series ESR no longer crashes.
Other Resolved Caveats
This section includes caveats listed in previous release notes that are regarded as resolved because they are unreproducible or do not affect the behavior of the Cisco 10000 series ESR. In the event a caveat listed in this section causes problems, please contact Cisco customer service.
For a list of unreproducible caveats in previous Cisco IOS Releases, refer to the release notes for those particular releases.
CSCdp96265
If you configure a DS3 BERT pattern 2^20-O153 on any unchannelized DS3 (by using the bert pattern 2^20-O153 interval 1-14400 command), and you then connect the line card to T-Bird 310 test set, the pattern does not synchronize with T-Bird 310.
CSCdr25441
The router sends out DHCP INFORM and DISCOVER messages containing an incorrect Ethernet address.
CSCdr36564
When you use the Frame Relay autosense feature, the Cisco 10000 series ESR sends all three LMI status message types immediately after the interface starts responding. However, sometimes the switch at the other end is not ready to receive messages and as a result, misses one or two messages that were sent. LMI autosense waits until the next scheduled interval (default is 1 minute) to send the messages again.
This problem primarily affects clear channel CT3 interfaces.
CSCdr47500
During periods of heavy traffic (approaching interface line rate), some interfaces may experience inconsistent performance between interfaces of the same type.
CSCdr62013
If large MLP configurations are in use, and you attempt to copy the configuration from a TFTP server directly into the running config, the copy may fail. Failures may include interfaces not appearing, or IPCP or LCP states not opening correctly.
CSCdr72007
The number of VPNs that can be created on gigabit Ethernet subinterfaces is limited to under 100.
CSCdr82579
When a ChOC-12 line card is reconfigured from a channelized T3 configuration to an unchannelized T3 configuration or vice-versa, the initial packets are not forwarded.
CSCdr82363
When the encapsulation mode is changed from PPP to HDLC or vice-versa, the system drops about 3 of the next 10 packets transmitted. After that, the packets are transmitted normally.
CSCds01233
If you send a large number of small packets in large multicast groups, this may cause the following certain debug messages to appear on the console.
CSCds25069
The default logging parameter (logging rate-limit console all 10 except critical) sets console logging to disabled.
CSCds36324
Mass configuration (which occurs during boot/reload and can occur during link state changes) takes a long period of time (for example, more than 40 minutes for 2000 VCs associated with a main interface) with large numbers of PVCs (100s to 1000s). This problem occurs when you attempt to configure large numbers of PVCs on the main interface (or multipoint subinterfaces) with static maps on each PVC.
CSCds41791
If you reload a Cisco 10000 series ESR, some initialization messages are logged to the console before the startup-config is loaded. These initialization messages are transitional and may report an incorrect state, especially for the FastEthernet interface.
CSCds43837
The show atm pvc command displays Unexpected QoS type for its traffic parameters. This occurs when a PVC was previously configured with only an ATM vc-class, and then the vc-class was subsequently deleted.
CSCds49222
When a segment on an MPLS traffic engineered path is disabled, the PXF engine reloads, temporarily causing all forwarding to stop.
CSCds49957
Note
When you boot the Cisco 10000 series ESR, the system may display the following messages:
*Oct 17 12:32:48.287: %SNMP-3-TRAPBLOCK: Attempt to generate SNMP trap from a process with blocking disabled-Traceback= 60565064 606A6B34 60678238 60678438 6067AD88 6067AF30 602FCBDC 6024817C 60248168CSCds64134
Occasionally, after you reload routers (with background traffic load equal to no_drop rate), the throughput is some 3 to 400 pps below the expected rate.

On rare occasions, after a single reload while under load, the Gigabit Ethernet line card is up but drops nearly all packets on the output queue.
CSCds67459
When a serial interface is configured to be part of an MPLS/VPN, if you enter the no channelized command on the T3 controller, this clears the interface. However, the sh ip vrf vrf_name continues to show the interface as part of the vrf.
CSCds74846
When MPLS TE is configured and the logging console is turned on, the following error message appears repeatedly:
"00:58:10: %TFIB-7-SCANSABORTED: TFIB scan not completing. MAC string updated."CSCds86646
ISIS adjacencies recalculated with 65-85MB of tcp traffic to rtr.
CSCds86767
A Cisco 10000 series ESR running Release 12.0(10)SL may experience a buffer leak when interfaces are down but not administratively down.
CSCdt12602
If in a Frame-Relay environment a handful of interfaces are flapping continuously, the interface statistics report input errors (overruns) on the flapping interfaces.
CSCdt19582
Following a reload of the Cisco IOS software, the Gigabit Ethernet interface does not always come back up. The interface remains in the "GigabitEthernet1/0/0 is down, line protocol is down" state.
CSCdt25901
During a reload, if the router continuously receives IP packets, CPUHOG messages may have appeared in the log, and the router may have taken longer to come up.
CSCdt28191
After you reload line cards under background traffic load, one or more interfaces may not come up.
CSCdt33623
If you issue a write erase command on the primary PRE followed by an erase sec-nvram: command, and then reload both PREs simultaneously, some line cards may not be recognized correctly on reboot.
CSCdt40511
The router stopped responding after several hours of receiving multicast traffic over 500 CT3 ds0 Frame Relay interfaces, at a rate of 10 pps of 260-byte packets.
CSCdt41680
The ip address negotiate command sent dhcp requests out all serial line interfaces.
CSCdt50591
In some test instances, Frame Relay interfaces did not correctly join a multicast group when it should have. The result is that multicast packets destined for those interfaces will be punted to the route processor. If enough packets were received, the CPU usages on the route processor to run at a high usage.
CSCdt53363
On rare occasions, when a large number of ds0 interfaces is configured on a CT3 line card, buffer with corrupt pool pointer error messages may appear.
CSCdt54684
On rare occasions, if a large number of ds0 interfaces are configured on a CT3 line card, spurious memory error messages may appear.
CSCdt55873
On rare occasions in which relatively high rates of bursty traffic are received on the OC-12 ATM line card, some packets may be dropped but not counted by the software.
CSCdt63838
Bad file magic number - cannot load bootflash.
CSCdt63854
Under rare conditions when scripts of VC creates and VC deletes are executed in turn, some VBR-nrt VCs are not created.
CSCdt64787
At the end of the line in the show run command output, 0.0.0.0 is appended randomly.
CSCdt70049
With 500 Frame Relay interfaces on CT3 running IP Multicast, multicast packets get punted to the RP causing IPC OIR on the CT3. This causes the line protocol on the router connected to the Cisco 10000 series ESR to go down (and remain down) on some interfaces. The interface stats show no traffic over the affected interface. On the Cisco 10000 series ESR the Frame Relay PVC corresponding to it shows as Deleted.
CSCdu22374
When the Cisco 10000 series ESR series ESR is configured for 802.1q VLANs, the output of the show vlans command reports values for gigabit Ethernet received packets, gigabit Ethernet received bytes, and VLAN received packets to be higher than they should be.
CSCdu22652
If you perform a reload, the values for the transmitted and received output of the show vlans command indicates, incorrectly, that those values incremented.
CSCdu25589
When the destination IP address of an incoming 802.1q packet matches one of the IP addresses of the router, the output of the show vlans command for 802.1q packets increments two times. Ping request packets, however, are always counted correctly regardless of destination.
