Open Caveats in Cisco IOS Release 12.0(30)SZ6
This section describes caveats that are open in Cisco IOS Release 12.0(30)SZ6.
CSCdy45049
During a lab stress test, line rate traffic sometimes does not achieve line rate when scaling to more than 3000 serial interfaces. This occurs only when thousands of serial interfaces with PPP or HDLC encapsulation are used on the port and line rate traffic is sent through all interfaces.
Workaround: No workaround is available.
CSCeh48414
While testing the high availability (HA) Stateful Switchover (SSO) feature, the traffic is not stable before or after the switchover occurs. This behavior occurs on a Cisco 10000 series router with 200 serial network interfaces, two channelized OC-12 interfaces, and one Ethernet interface. The problem is observed on the 200 interfaces and only when the router is running Cisco IOS Release 12.0(25)SX10.
Workaround: No workaround is available.
CSCeh73497
After a route processor (RP) switchover, the following message is sometimes observed. This occurs on the Cisco 10000 series router with redundant PRE1 cards and with RPR+ mode configured.
C10KEVENTMGR-1-IRONBUS_FAULT: Barium ErrorThe message results from an internal timing issue during the RP switchover. The affected line card recovers successfully and no performance impact is observed.
Workaround: No workaround is available.
CSCei93434
While configuring high availability (HA) Multilink, a slight buffer leak is observed after you issue the show hardware pxf cpu buffers command. As shown in the following sample output, for buffer pool 3 the total number of buffers (67666) does not equal the number of available buffers (67139). This occurs when the router is running Cisco IOS Release 12.0(28)S4.
pool size # buffer available allocate failures-----------------------------------------------------------0 9216 100 100 01 4672 500 500 02 1600 30000 30000 03 640 67666 67139 04 256 98165 98165 05 64 131000 131000 0Workaround: No workaround is available.
CSCej89322
Spurious memory access is observed at fib_notify_interface_state_change after the secondary switchover in the primary router. This symptom occurs on the router when running Cisco IOS Release 12.0(30)S4 and Release 12.0(28)S5.
Workaround: No workaround is available.
CSCsg51693
A random ping failure occurs between two CE routers and is randomly observed across different virtual private networks (VPNs) for more than 300 VPNs. The number of ping failures across the VPNs varies randomly. The number of VPNs is set to 500 and the number of VPN routes is set to 136. Ping operations between two PE routers are successful. The ping failure is not observed when the number of VPN routes is set to 0 and the number of VPNs is set to 999. This symptom occurs when the router is running Cisco IOS Release 12.0(30)SZ and Release 12.0(30)SZ2.
Workaround: No workaround is available.
CSCsj14143
ifHCOutOctets and ifHCInOctets values retrieved from the IF-MIB are not correct.
Workaround: No workaround is available.
Resolved Caveats in Cisco IOS Release 12.0(30)SZ6
This section describes caveats that were fixed in Cisco IOS Release 12.0(30)SZ6.
CSCeb34310
While debugging SNMP, some information from restricted views were accessible. This occurred on a Cisco router that was configured for Lawful Intercept (LI). This has been fixed.
CSCee63182
When an interface with the rate-limit command configured was deleted by entering the no interface command, and then re-enabled by entering the interface command, the router sometimes failed or stopped responding. This has been fixed.
CSCeg01651
When the OC-3 PoS line card was configured for line clocking, the output of the show controller command indicated line clocking. However, internally the line card was incorrectly configured for internal clocking. This prevented the line card from becoming active. This has been fixed.
CSCeg10310
A DSX3 interface of an 8-port E3/DS3 line card was stuck in the initializing or down state. This occurred on a Cisco 10008 router after the router reloaded. This has been fixed.
CSCeg56821
When a link on a channelized STM-1 interface card was incorrectly configured so that one end of the link was configured for PCM31 frame format and the other end was configured for CRC4 frame format, the link was incorrectly reported as UP. However, it should have been reported to be in the DOWN state. This has been fixed.
CSCeh03271
Frame Relay high availability features on 1-port channelized OC-12 and 4-port channelized STM-1 line cards did not always work correctly after a switchover operation because the links did not always reconverge as expected. This has been fixed.
CSCeh13518
A small memory leak occurred on a Cisco 10000 series router when an access control list (ACL) was created and deleted without being attached to an interface for security purposes. This has been fixed.
CSCeh14826
An OC-3 line card may have become unresponsive and down, and stuck in the initialization state. This may have occurred when a performance routing engine (PRE) switchover was done. This has been fixed.
CSCeh22765
An ATM interface may not have come up with no alarms present after the router was reloaded and if the no shutdown command was configured on the interface. The interface did remain DOWN. If the slot was reset, then the interface would come back up. This has been fixed.
CSCeh31740
The Cisco 10000 series router sometimes reloaded when you issued the no card command for a line card configured with FRF.12 and with a service policy. This has been fixed.
CSCeh89346
Ping traffic failed for 30 seconds after a stateful switchover (SSO). This occurred when using Frame Relay on an 8-port E3/DS3 line card. The line protocol for the Frame Relay interface started a new session after the SSO operation and considered the line protocol down, instead of realizing that the line protocol was up. It took several LMI messages to bring up the line protocol so that ping traffic could resume again. This has been fixed.
CSCei04553
The router may have reloaded during extensive access control list (ACL) processing, such as when ACLs were being deleted or modified within several seconds of the ACLs being attached to interfaces. This has been fixed.
CSCei12320
When configured as a PE with mVPN support, the Cisco 10000 series router sometimes experienced high CPU utilization and performance issues because packets with the DF bit set in the outer header were sent to the CPU. Because vendors' devices set the DF bit in the outer header, this could result in interoperability issues. This has been fixed.
CSCei17730
When using the 4-port channelized OC-3 line card and the channelized OC-12 line card, stateful switchover (SSO) took longer than expected. This occurred for any encapsulation type and did not necessarily occur every time as it appeared to be timing dependent. This has been fixed.
CSCei77227
In a multicast VPN environment, a Cisco router sometimes failed when checking the unicast connectivity and then unconfiguring a VRF instance. This has been fixed.
CSCek12203
When you entered the copy ftp disk command, the copy operation sometimes failed and could not be terminated. Entering additional copy commands failed and a TCP VTY session used to troubleshoot this problem also failed and could not be terminated. Reloading the router enabled the router to recover from the symptoms. This has been fixed.
CSCek40699
After a stateful switchover (SSO), BGP peers may have been lost and needed to be reestablished. This has been fixed.
CSCsb60206
When a stateful switchover (SSO) operation occurred, the newly active route processor (RP) generated traceback messages and a series of CPU Hog messages in the PIM process, and then failed because the watchdog timer expired. This occurred on a Cisco router with redundant RPs and auto-RP configured, and when regular multicast traffic ran for a few hundred multicast routes. This has been fixed.
CSCsb69773
A Cisco router that was configured for BGP and non-stop forwarding (NSF) sometimes failed during the redistribution of OSPF, EIGRP, RIP, and static routes. This occurred on a Cisco router after a switchover operation from the primary route processor (RP) to the secondary RP had occurred. This has been fixed.
CSCsc67367
The set ip next-hop in-vrf vrf-name command did not work with import maps. This occurred on a Cisco router with BGP configured. This has been fixed.
CSCsd01698
The following types of error messages may have appeared when there were large numbers of interfaces with ACLs configured and there were a large number of them being created and deleted rapidly. This has been fixed.
Dec 27 12:46:09.884: %SCHED-3-SEMLOCKED: TurboACL attempted to lock a semaphore, already locked by itself-Traceback= 60530010 6061B3C4 61030AFC 603E658C 603E946C 603E9594Dec 27 12:46:09.888: %SCHED-3-SEMLOCKED: TurboACL attempted to lock a semaphore, already locked by itself-Traceback= 60530010 6061B3C4 61030AFC 603E658C 603E946C 603E9594Dec 27 12:46:09.888: %SCHED-3-SEMLOCKED: TurboACL attempted to lock a semaphore, already locked by itself-Traceback= 60530010 6061B3C4 61030AFC 603E658C 603E946C 603E9594Dec 27 12:46:15.076: %SCHED-3-SEMLOCKED: TurboACL attempted to lock a semaphore, already locked by itself-Traceback= 60530010 6061B3C4 61030AFC 603E658C 603E946C 603E9594Dec 27 12:46:15.088: %SCHED-3-SEMLOCKED: TurboACL attempted to lock a semaphore, already locked by itself-Traceback= 60530010 6061B3C4 61030AFC 603E658C 603E946C 603E9594CSCsd66372
A Cisco 10000 series router may have restarted with error and traceback messages similar to the following displayed. This has been fixed.
*Dec 31 14:53:04.667 EST: %SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from memory by console*Dec 31 14:53:05.163 EST: %SYS-5-RESTART: System restartedUnexpected exception to CPUvector 300, PC = 98AFEC-Traceback= 98AFEC 98AB18 1203EA0 98C3C0 98C678 98D20C 2CE86CCSCsh18345
When you reconfigured a multilink Frame Relay (MLFR) bundle and then forced multiple switchover operations with RPR+, the following traceback message displayed and you could not make additional changes to the MLFR interface. The MLFR interface went down after the switchover and it never recovered due to a missing configuration. This has been fixed.
%FIB-2-HW_IF_INDEX_ILLEGAL: Attempt to create CEF interface for MFR32562 with illegal index: -1-Traceback= 202ED8 202FE0 1748D0 176698 176D08 177424 27DEE8 238138 24D730 12FB7C0 12FBE44 2EB3CCCSCsh58729
When running MPLS fast reroute (FRR), the router sometimes failed. This has been fixed.
CSCsi02671
During basic operation, the gateway router generated the following traceback and error messages. This has been fixed.
Mar 2 19:00:30.550: %FIB-4-FIBBADSNMPPREFIX: Invalid prefix passed to> CEF SNMP walker (0.0.0.1/0). -Traceback= 0x412DD26C 0x416495B4CSCsi03359
A PIM hello message sometimes did not reach the neighbor router. This occurred on a Cisco router when an interface started and a PIM hello message was triggered. The symptom occurred because the PIM hello message was sent before the port could actually forward IP packets. IGP managed to establish its neighborship, but PIM did not. This caused reverse path forwarding (RPF) to change to the new neighbor and caused packets to be lost for up to 30 seconds. This has been fixed.
CSCsj89636
ISIS convergence time may have been delayed after a switchover if there were parallel links existing between routers and they were connected through switches. For example, if a neighbor router shut down its Ethernet interface, ISIS routes in the routing table that used that interface as the next hop were not deleted. This occurred even after the router received a new link state advertisement (LSA) from the neighbor that reflected the topology change. This problem continued until adjacency timed out, creating a temporary loss of packets and thereby delaying convergence. This has been fixed.
CSCsk19572
When creating subinterfaces, if you did not complete a subinterface configuration before creating additional interfaces, and then you returned to the first subinterface to complete the configuration, the router sometimes did not apply a Frame Relay class map to the subinterface, even though the subinterface configuration had a class map applied. This occurred when creating subinterfaces using the following command sequence. This has been fixed.
int s6/0/3encap frameint s6/0/3.1 pint s6/0/3.2 pno int s6/0/3.1int s6/0/3.1 pframe class 1!do show run int s6/0/3.1!int s6/0/3.2 pframe class 2do show run int s6/0/3.2CSCsk33476
On a Cisco 10000 series router, when line or path triggers were enabled on a 1-port OC-12 PoS line card, 6-port OC-3 PoS line card, or 1-port OC48 SRP PoS line card, and a LOF, LAIS, LRDI (for line triggers), or PAIS, PRDI (for path triggers) condition occurred on the interface. The PoS interface took an additional 50 msec more than the line or path trigger value configured to declare the alarm. This occurred on a Cisco 10000 series router that was running either a performance routing engine 2 (PRE2) or a PRE3. The Cisco 10000 series router had a 1-port OC-12 PoS, 6-port OC-3 PoS, or a 1-port OC-48SRP PoS line card. This has been fixed.
