Note
Before downloading software, read this section for important information.
Finding the Software Version and Feature Set
The Cisco IOS image is stored as a bin file in a directory that is named with the Cisco IOS release. The image is stored on the system board flash device (flash:).
You can use the show version privileged EXEC command to see the software version that is running on your switch.
You can also use the dir filesystem: privileged EXEC command to see the directory names of other software images that you might have stored in flash memory.
Deciding Which Files to Use
The upgrade procedures in these release notes describe how to perform the upgrade by using a combined tar file. This file contains the Cisco IOS image file. To upgrade the switch through the command-line interface (CLI), use the tar file and the archive download-sw privileged EXEC command.
Table 2 lists the software filename for this software release.
Table 2 Cisco IOS Software Image Files for Catalyst 3750 Metro Switches

Cisco IOS cryptographic image tar file.
This image has the Kerberos, SSH1 , SSL2 , Layer 2+, and Layer 3 features.
1 SSH = Secure Shell
2 SSL = Secure Socket Layer
Archiving Software Images
Before upgrading your switch software, make sure that you have archived copies of the current Cisco IOS release and the Cisco IOS release to which you are upgrading. You should keep these archived images until you have upgraded all devices in the network to the new Cisco IOS image and until you have verified that the new Cisco IOS image works properly in your network.
Cisco routinely removes old Cisco IOS versions from Cisco.com. See Product Bulletin 2863 for more information:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/products/sw/iosswrel/ps5187/prod_bulletin0900aecd80281c0e.
HtmlYou can copy the bin software image file on the flash memory to the appropriate TFTP directory on a host by using the copy flash: tftp: privileged EXEC command.
Note
Although you can copy any file on the flash memory to the TFTP server, it is time consuming to copy all of the HTML files in the tar file. We recommend that you download the tar file from Cisco.com and archive it on an internal host in your network.
You can also configure the switch as a TFTP server to copy files from one switch to another without using an external TFTP server by using the tftp-server global configuration command. For more information about the tftp-server command, see the "Basic File Transfer Services Commands" section of the Cisco IOS Configuration Fundamentals Command Reference, Release 12.2 at this URL:
Upgrading a Switch by Using the CLI
This procedure is for copying the tar file to the switch. You copy the file to the switch from a TFTP server and extract the files. You can download an image file and replace or keep the current image.
Download the software from Cisco.com to your management station by following these steps:
Step 1
Use Table 2 to identify the file that you want to download.
Step 2
Download the software image file from Cisco.com.
Go to this URL and log in to download the appropriate files:
http://www.cisco.com/public/sw-center/sw -lan.shtml
To download the files, click the link for your switch platform, and then follow the links on the page to select the correct tar image file.
Step 3
Copy the image to the appropriate TFTP directory on the workstation, and make sure that the TFTP server is properly configured.
For more information, see Appendix B in the software configuration guide for this release.
Step 4
Log in to the switch through the console port or a Telnet session.
Step 5
Check your VLAN 1 configuration by using the show interfaces vlan 1 privileged EXEC command, and verify that VLAN 1 is part of the same network as the TFTP server. (Check the Internet address is line near the top of the display.)
Step 6
Download the image file from the TFTP server to the switch. If you are installing the same version of software that is currently on the switch, overwrite the current image by using this privileged EXEC command:
archive download-sw /overwrite /reload tftp:[[//location]/directory]/image-name.tarThe /overwrite option overwrites the software image in flash memory with the downloaded one.
The /reload option reloads the system after downloading the image unless the configuration has been changed and not been saved.
For //location, specify the IP address of the TFTP server.
For /directory/image-name.tar, specify the directory (optional) and the image to download. Directory and image names are case sensitive.
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/c3750me-i5-tar.122-37.SE1.tarYou 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.
Recovering from a Software Failure
Switch software can be corrupted during an upgrade, by downloading the wrong file to the switch, and by deleting the image file. In all of these cases, the switch does not pass the power-on self-test (POST), and there is no connectivity. You can use the Xmodem protocol to recover from these failures.
For detailed recovery procedures, see the "Troubleshooting" chapter in the software configuration guide for this release.
Installation Notes
You can assign IP information to your switch by using these methods:
•
The Express Setup program as described in the Catalyst 3750 Metro Switch Getting Started Guide.
•
The CLI-based setup program as described in the Catalyst 3750 Metro Switch Hardware Installation Guide.
•
The DHCP-based autoconfiguration as described in the Catalyst 3750 Metro Switch Software Configuration Guide.
•
Manually assigning an IP addresses described in the Catalyst 3750 Metro Switch Software Configuration Guide.

Minimum Cisco IOS Release for Major Features
Table 3 lists the minimum software release required to support the major features on the Catalyst 3750 Metro switch.
Note
Features not included in the table are available in all releases. You can see a list of features from the first release at this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/switches/ps5532/products_configuration_guide_chapter09186a00801ee872.html
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.
Configuration
These are the configuration limitations:
•
A static IP address might be removed when the previously acquired DHCP IP address lease expires.
This problem occurs under these conditions:
–
When the switch is booted without a configuration (no config.text file in flash memory).
–
When the switch is connected to a DHCP server that is configured to give an address to it (the dynamic IP address is assigned to VLAN 1).
–
When an IP address is configured on VLAN 1 before the dynamic address lease assigned to VLAN 1 expires.
The workaround is to reconfigure the static IP address. (CSCea71176)
•
On a switch running Cisco IOS Release 12.1(14)AX, when the show interface privileged EXEC is entered on a port that is running IEEE 802.1Q, inconsistent statistics from ports running IEEE 802.1Q might be reported.
The workaround is to upgrade to Cisco IOS Release 12.2(25)EY or later. (CSCec35100)
•
When you change a port from a nonrouted port to a routed port or the reverse, the applied auto-QoS setting is not changed or updated when you verify it by using the show running interface or show mls qos interface user EXEC commands.
These are the workarounds:
1.
Disable auto-QoS on the interface.
2.
Change the routed port to a nonrouted port or the reverse.
3.
Re-enable auto-QoS on the interface. (CSCec44169)
•
The DHCP snooping binding database is not written to flash or a remote file in any of these situations:
–
When the Network Time Protocol (NTP) is configured, but the NTP clock is not synchronized. You can check the clock status by entering the show NTP status privileged EXEC command and verifying that the network connection to the NTP server and peer work correctly.
–
The DHCP snooping database file is manually removed from the file system. After enabling the DHCP snooping database by configuring a database URL, a database file is created. If the file is removed manually from the file system, the DHCP snooping database does not create another database file. You need to disable the DHCP snooping database and enable it again to create the database file.
–
The URL for the configured DHCP snooping database was replaced because the original URL is not accessible. The new URL might not take effect after the timeout of the old URL.
No workaround is necessary; these are the designed behaviors. (CSCed50819)
•
When dynamic ARP inspection is enabled on a switch or switch stack, ARP and RARP packets greater than 2016 bytes are dropped by the switch or switch stack. This is a hardware limitation.
However, when dynamic ARP inspection is not enabled and jumbo MTU is configured, ARP and RARP packets are correctly bridged in hardware. (CSCed79734)
•
When connected to some third-party devices that send early preambles, a switch port operating at 100 Mbps full duplex or 100 Mbps half duplex might bounce the line protocol up and down. The problem is observed only when the switch is receiving frames.
The workaround is to configure the port for 10 Mbps and half duplex or to connect a hub or a nonaffected device to the switch. (CSCed39091)
•
Dynamic ARP inspection log entries might be lost after a switch failure. Any log entries that are still in the log buffer (have not been output as a system message) on a switch that fails will be lost.
When you enter the show ip arp inspection log privileged EXEC command, the log entries from all switches in the stack are moved to the switch on which the command was entered.
There is no workaround. (CSCed95822)
•
When port security is enabled on an interface in restricted mode and the switchport block unicast interface command has been entered for 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 for that specific interface. (CSCee93822)
•
The Catalyst 3750 Metro switch does not learn its own MAC address on Layer 2 interfaces. For example: Ports 1/0/1 and 1/0/2 belong to VLAN x, port 1/0/3 is a Layer 3 port with an IP address that belongs to the subnet of VLAN x, and ports 1/0/2 and 1/0/3 are connected. In this case, a host connected to port 1/0/1 cannot ping port 1/0/3. The switch does not update the CAM table and does not use the MAC address of port 1/0/3 in the CAM table for port 1/0/2.
The workaround is to statically configure the MAC address of port 1/0/3 in the CAM table of the switch bound to port 1/0/2 by using the mac address-table static mac-addr vlan vlan-id interface fastethernet1/0/2 global configuration command. (CSCee87864)
•
A traceback error occurs if a crypto key is generated after an SSL client session.
There is no workaround. This is a cosmetic error and does not affect the functionality of the switch. (CSCef59331)
•
When enhanced services (ES) interfaces in an EtherChannel are carrying Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) traffic and more routes are configured than are supported in the SDM template, messages similar to the following might appear when the interface is shut down and brought back up:
2d20h: %PLATFORM_UCAST-3-LB: PI<->PD handles out of sync for Adj 222.1.1.1 LB -Traceback= 252620 A919CC A847E0 A85BE0 A927FC AA2D28 A965E0 A89C08 A78744 B08F48 ADF504 ADDC4C AE3460 AD25CC B94AA0 B94F20
There is no workaround. (CSCeh13477)
Ethernet
This is the Ethernet limitation:
SNAP-encapsulated IP packets are dropped without an error message being reported at the interface. The switch does not support SNAP-encapsulated IP packets. There is no workaround. (CSCdz89142)
Fallback Bridging
These are the fallback bridging limitations:
•
If a bridge group contains a VLAN that has a static MAC address configured, all non-IP traffic in the bridge group with this MAC address destination is sent to all ports in the bridge group.
The workaround is to remove the VLAN from the bridge group or to remove the static MAC address from the VLAN. (CSCdw81955)
•
Known unicast (secured addresses) are flooded within a bridge group under this condition: If secure addresses are learned or configured on a port and the VLAN on this port is part of a bridge group, non-IP traffic destined to the secure addresses is flooded within the bridge group.
The workaround is to disable fallback bridging. To remove an interface from a bridge group and to remove the bridge group, use the no bridge-group bridge-group interface configuration command. Another workaround is to disable port security on all ports in all VLANs participating in fallback bridging by using the no switchport port-security interface configuration command. (CSCdz80499)
HSRP
These are the Hot Standby Routing Protocol (HSRP) limitations:
•
When the active switch fails in a switch cluster that uses HSRP redundancy, the new active switch might not contain a full cluster member list.
The workaround is to ensure that the ports on the standby cluster members are not in the spanning-tree blocking state. To verify that these ports are not in the blocking state, see the "Configuring STP" chapter in the software configuration guide. (CSCec76893)
•
HSRP does not function on multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) interfaces.
There is no workaround. Do not configure HSRP on MPLS interfaces. (CSCeg76540)
IP
These are the IP limitations:
•
The switch does not create an adjacency table entry when the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) timeout value is 15 seconds and the ARP request times out.
The workaround is to set an ARP timeout value higher than 120 seconds. (CSCea21674)
•
When the rate of received DHCP requests exceeds 2,000 packets per minute for a long time, the response time might be slow when you are using the console.
The workaround is to use rate limiting on DHCP traffic to prevent a denial of service attack from occurring. (CSCeb59166)
IP Telephony
These are the IP telephony limitations:
•
Some access point (AP)-350 devices are incorrectly discovered as IEEE 802.3af Class 1 devices. These APs should be discovered as Cisco pre-standard devices. The show power inline user EXEC command shows the AP-350 as an IEEE Class 1 device.
The workaround is to power the AP by using an AC wall adaptor. (CSCin69533)
•
After changing 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.
There is no workaround. (CSCea85312)
MAC Addressing
This is the MAC addressing limitation:
When a MAC address is configured for filtering on the internal VLAN of a routed port, incoming packets from the MAC address to the routed port are not dropped. (CSCeb67937)
MPLS and EoMPLS
These are the multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) and Ethernet over MPLS (EoMPLS) limitations:
•
Port-based Ethernet over Multiprotocol Label Switching (EoMPLS) sessions do not function if the incoming port is configured as an Inter-Switch Link (ISL) trunk.
The workaround is to configure the incoming ports as an IEEE 802.1Q trunk or as an access port. (CSCeb44014)
•
The display for the show mpls ldp neighbor ipaddr-of-neighbor detail user EXEC command always shows the targeted hello holdtime value as infinite.
The workaround is to use the show mpls ldp parameter user EXEC command to see the configured value. (CSCeb76775)
•
When MPLS is enabled, traceroute is not supported.
There is no workaround. (CSCec13655)
•
When an enhanced-services (ES) port is configured as a trunk port and the switch is using VLAN-based EoMPLS, if the VLAN has been cleared from the trunks on the ES ports, packets destined to IP addresses 224.0.0.xxx might not be sent over the EoMPLS tunnel.
The workaround is to allow the EoMPLS VLAN on the trunk on the ES ports. (CSCsc42814)
Multicasting
These are the multicasting limitations:
•
The switch does not support tunnel interfaces for unicast routed traffic. Only Distance Vector Multicast Routing Protocol (DVMRP) tunnel interfaces are supported for multicast routing.
•
Nonreverse-path forwarded (RPF) IP multicast traffic to a group that is bridged in a VLAN is leaked onto a trunk port in the VLAN even if the port is not a member of the VLAN group, but it is a member in some other VLAN group. Unnecessary traffic is sent on the trunk port and needlessly reduces the bandwidth of the port.
There is no workaround because non-RPF traffic is continuous in certain topologies. As long as the trunk port is a member on a trunk port in at least one VLAN, this problem for the non-RPF traffic occurs. (CSCdu25219)
•
If the number of multicast routes and Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) groups are more than the maximum number in the Switch Database Management (SDM) template shown with 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.
The workaround is to reduce the number of multicast routes and IGMP snooping groups to less than the maximum supported value. (CSCdy09008)
•
IGMP filtering is applied to packets that are forwarded through hardware. It is not applied to packets that are forwarded through software. Hence, with multicast routing enabled, the first few packets are sent from a port even when IGMP filtering is set to deny those groups on that port.
There is no workaround. (CSCdy82818)
•
When you use the ip access-group interface configuration command with a router access control list (ACL) to deny access to a group in a VLAN, multicast data to the group that is received in the VLAN is always flooded in the VLAN regardless of IGMP group membership in the VLAN. This provides access to directly connected clients, if any, in the VLAN.
The workaround is to not apply a router ACL configured to deny access to a VLAN interface. Apply the security through other means; for example, apply VLAN maps to the VLAN instead of using a router ACL for the group. (CSCdz86110)
•
(Catalyst 3750 switches) When IP Protocol-Independent Multicast (PIM) is enabled on a tunnel interface, the switch incorrectly displays the Multicast is not supported on tunnel interfaces error message. IP PIM is not supported on tunnel interfaces.
There is no workaround. (CSCeb75366)
•
If an IGMP report packet has two multicast group records, the switch removes or adds interfaces depending on the order of the records in the packet:
–
If the ALLOW_NEW_SOURCE record is before the BLOCK_OLD_SOURCE record, the switch removes the port from the group.
–
If the BLOCK_OLD_SOURCE record is before the ALLOW_NEW_SOURCE record, the switch adds the port to the group.
There is no workaround. (CSCec20128)
•
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:
–
You disable and then re-enable IP multicast routing on an interface.
–
A switch mroute table temporarily runs out of resources and recovers later.
The workaround is to enter clear ip mroute privileged EXEC command on the interface. (CSCef42436)
•
When more multicast groups are configured than are supported by the selected Switch Database Management (SDM) template, Layer 2 multicast traffic is flooded on one or more multicast groups.
There is no workaround. (CSCef67261)
QoS
These are the Quality of Service (QoS) limitations:
•
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 ten to avoid disabling the queue.
The workaround is to choose compatible buffer sizes and threshold levels. (CSCea76893)
•
When traffic with different class of service (CoS) values is sent into a IEEE 802.1Q tunnel, only the CoS 0 statistics increment in the show mls qos interface user EXEC command display.
There is no workaround. (CSCeb75230)
•
The bandwidth interface configuration command is not supported at the interface level, but it appears in the CLI.
There is no workaround. (CSCeb80223)
•
The random-detect interface configuration command is not supported at the interface level, but it appears in the CLI.
There is no workaround. (CSCeb80300)
•
The display for the show policy-map interface user EXEC command shows zeros for the counters associated with class-map match criteria.
There is no workaround. (CSCec08205)
•
The priority policy-map class configuration command cannot be configured for the default traffic class in a policy map.
The workaround is to configure explicit matches for traffic that requires priority treatment. (CSCec38901)
•
Modifying a QoS class within a very large service policy that is attached to an enhanced-services (ES) port can cause high CPU utilization and an unresponsive CLI for an excessive period of time.
The workaround is to detach the service policy from the port while making the modifications and then to re-attach the service policy. (CSCec75945)
•
When packets are queued for egress on an enhanced-services (ES) port due to the application of a QoS service policy, they consume packet buffer memory on the switch. If many queues are simultaneously congested and are unable to drain, packet loss can occur in either direction (ingress or egress) due to the lack of buffer memory.
If this becomes a problem, you can change switch behavior by using the queue-limit policy-map class configuration command at the class level to set shorter queue depths. Each shaper has an associated buffer queue with a default depth of 128 packets.
For example:
Switch(config)# policy-map cos2-policySwitch(config-pmap)# class cos2Switch(config-pmap-c)# bandwidth 50000Switch(config-pmap-c)# queue-limit 32The point at which buffer memory is exhausted depends on the number of queues, the sizes of the queued packets, and whether or not the traffic pattern being sent to the switch allows the queues to drain at all.
Upgrading your switch to Cisco IOS Release 12.2(25)EY or later greatly reduces the possibility of this situation happening, although it can still occur with some configurations and traffic patterns. (CSCed83886)
•
When auto-QoS is enabled on the switch, priority queuing is not enabled. Instead, the switch uses shaped round robin (SRR) as the queuing mechanism. The auto-QoS feature is designed on each platform based on the feature set and hardware limitations, and the queuing mechanism supported on each platform might be different.
There is no workaround. (CSCee22591)
Routing
These are the routing limitations:
•
The switch does not support tunnel interfaces for unicast routed traffic. Only Distance Vector Multicast Routing Protocol (DVMRP) tunnel interfaces are supported for multicast routing.
•
A route map that contains an ACL with a DSCP clause cannot be applied to a Layer 3 interface. The switch rejects this configuration and issues an error message that shows that the route map is unsupported.
There is no workaround. (CSCea52915)
•
A spanning-tree loop might occur if all of these conditions are true:
–
Port security is enabled with the violation mode set to protected.
–
The maximum number of secure addresses is less than the number of switches connected to the port.
–
There is a physical loop in the network through a switch whose MAC address has not been secured, and its BPDUs cause a secure violation.
The workaround is to change any one of the listed conditions. (CSCed53633)
SPAN and RSPAN
These are the SPAN and Remote SPAN (RSPAN) limitations:
•
An egress SPAN copy of routed unicast traffic might show an incorrect destination MAC address on both local and remote SPAN sessions. This limitation does not apply to bridged packets. The workaround for local SPAN is to use the replicate option.
There is no workaround for a remote SPAN session. This is a hardware limitation. (CSCdy72835)
•
Egress SPAN routed packets (both unicast and multicast) show the incorrect source MAC address. For remote SPAN packets, the source MAC address should be the MAC address of the egress VLAN, but instead the packet shows the MAC address of the remote SPAN (RSPAN) VLAN. For local SPAN packets with native encapsulation on the destination port, the packet shows the MAC address of VLAN 1. This problem does not appear with local SPAN when the encapsulation replicate option is used and does not apply to bridged packets.
The workaround is to use the encapsulate replicate keywords in the monitor session global configuration command. This is a hardware limitation. (CSCdy81521)
•
During periods of very high traffic and 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. Packets intended for one RSPAN VLAN are incorrectly sent to the other RSPAN VLAN. This problem does not affect RSPAN destination sessions.
The workaround is to configure only one RSPAN source session. (CSCea72326)
•
The egress-SPAN data rate might degrade when fallback bridging or multicast routing is enabled. The amount of degradation depends on the processor loading. Typically, the switch can process egress-SPAN at up to 40,000 packets per second (64-byte packets). When the total traffic being monitored is below this limit, there is no degradation. However, if the traffic exceeds the limit, only a portion of the source stream is monitored. When this occurs, this console message appears: Decreased egress SPAN rate.
In all cases, normal traffic is not affected; the degradation limits only how much of the original source stream can be monitored. If fallback bridging and multicast routing are disabled, egress-SPAN monitoring is not degraded.
There is no workaround. If possible, disable fallback bridging and multicast routing. If possible, use ingress-SPAN to observe the same traffic. (CSCeb01216)
•
Some IGMP report and query packets with IP options might not be ingress-span monitored. Packets that are susceptible to this problem are IGMP packets with 4 bytes of IP options (IP header length of 24). Examples of such packets are IGMP reports and queries having the router alert IP option. Ingress-span monitoring of such packets is not accurate and can vary with traffic rate. Typically, very few or none of these packets are monitored.
There is no workaround. (CSCeb23352)
•
Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP), VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP), and Port Aggregation Protocol (PAgP) packets received from a SPAN source are not sent to the destination interfaces of a local SPAN session.
The workaround is to use the monitor session session_number destination {interface interface-id encapsulation replicate} global configuration command for a local SPAN session. (CSCed24036)
Trunking
These are the trunking limitations:
•
The switch treats frames received with mixed encapsulation (IEEE 802.1Q and Inter-Switch Link [ISL]) as frames with FCS errors, increments the error counters, and causes the port LED to blink amber. This happens when an ISL-unaware device receives an ISL-encapsulated packet and forwards the frame to an IEEE 802.1Q trunk interface.
There is no workaround. (CSCdz33708)
•
IP traffic with IP options set is sometimes leaked on a trunk port. For example, a trunk port is a member of an IP multicast group in VLAN X but is not a member in VLAN Y. If VLAN Y is the output interface for the multicast route entry assigned to the multicast group and an interface in VLAN Y belongs to the same multicast group, the IP-option traffic received on an input VLAN interface other than one in VLAN Y is sent on the trunk port in VLAN Y. This is because the trunk port is forwarding in VLAN Y, even though the port has no group membership in VLAN Y.
There is no workaround. (CSCdz42909)
•
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.
There is no workaround. (CSCec35100).
•
When a trunk interface is converted to an IEEE 802.1Q tunnel, a traceback error message similar to the following might appear:
3d20h: %PLATFORM_UCAST-3-LB: PI<->PD handles out of sync for Adj 222.1.1.1 LB -Traceback= 252620 A9204C A84E60 A86260 A92E7C AA36A0 AA3520 A96C60 A8A288 A78DC4 B095C8
There is no workaround. This does not affect switch functionality. (CSCeh20081)
Tunneling
This is the tunneling limitation:
•
VLAN mappings can be configured on a per-interface basis. A different set of mappings can be configured on each an enhanced-services (ES) interface. The per-interface VLAN mappings remain in effect even when the ES ports are bundled in an EtherChannel. For example, if you map Gigabit Ethernet 1/1/1 to VLAN 20 through VLAN 50 and Gigabit Ethernet 1/1/2 to VLAN 20 through VLAN 70, traffic on VLAN 20 leaving the switch through the ES port bundle should be load-balanced across the individual ES interfaces. However, some of that traffic is incorrectly translated to VLAN 50, and some is incorrectly translated to VLAN 70.
The workaround is to configure identical VLAN mappings on both ES ports if they are going to be bundled into an EtherChannel. (CSCec49520)
VLAN
These are the VLAN limitations:
•
If the number of VLANs times the number of trunk ports exceeds the recommended limit of 13,000, the switch can halt.
The workaround is to reduce the number of VLANs or trunks. (CSCeb31087)
•
A CPUHOG message sometimes appears when you configure a private VLAN. Enable port security on one or more of the ports affected by the private VLAN configuration.
There is no workaround. (CSCed71422)
•
When you apply a per-VLAN QoS per-port policer policy-map to a VLAN SVI, the second-level (child) policy-map in use cannot be re-used by another policy-map.
The workaround is to define another policy-map name for the second-level policy-map with the same configuration to be used for another policy-map. (CSCef47377)
Important Notes
These are the important notes related to this software release:
•
The behavior of the no logging on global configuration command changed in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(25)EY and later. In software releases earlier than Cisco IOS Release 12.2(25)EY, both of these command pairs disabled logging to the console:
–
the no logging on and then the no logging console global configuration commands
–
the logging on and then the no logging console global configuration commands
In Cisco IOS Release 12.2(18)SE and later, you can only use the logging on and then the no logging console global configuration commands to disable logging to the console. (CSCec71490)
•
Beginning with Cisco IOS Release 12.2(25)EY, ISL encapsulation is supported only on standard ports and not on an enhanced-services (ES) ports. The ES ports support only IEEE 802.1Q encapsulation and the switchport trunk encapsulation interface configuration command is no longer available on these ports. When you are upgrading a switch from Cisco IOS Release 12.1(14)AX to Cisco IOS Release 12.2(25)EY or later, during the initial configuration process, the switchport trunk encapsulation option is rejected on ES ports, and an error message appears. You can ignore this error message. If you save the new configuration by using the copy running-config startup-config privileged EXEC command and later re-install the Cisco IOS Release 12.1(14)AX image, the trunk encapsulation method originally configured on ES ports is lost, and the ES ports use the default encapsulation method, which is to negotiate.
•
In Cisco IOS Release 12.1(14)AX and earlier, port-based EoMPLS sessions could only be configured on switch ports. In Cisco IOS Release 12.2(25)EY and later, port-based EoMPLS sessions can only be configured on routed ports.
Note
This change is handled automatically during an upgrade to Cisco IOS 12.2(25)EY or later, but if a configuration is written to NVRAM and the switch is then reloaded with Cisco IOS 12.1(14)AX, the new-style configuration is lost.
•
Beginning with Cisco IOS Release 12.2(25)EY, you must specify the encapsulation type when using the xconnect interface configuration command.
Note
This change is handled automatically during an upgrade to Cisco IOS 12.2(25)EY or later, but if a configuration is written to NVRAM and the switch is then reloaded with Cisco IOS 12.1(14)AX, the new-style configuration is lost.
Open Caveats
These are the Cisco IOS severity-3 open configuration caveats in this software release:
•
CSCsg63499
The trust ip-precedence class configuration command is not supported in a hierarchical service policy on an enhanced-services (ES) port. However, this command is not rejected by the switch.
There is no workaround.
•
CSCsh12472
The switch might display tracebacks similar to this example when an EtherChannel interface port-channel type changes from Layer 2 to Layer 3 or the reverse:
15:50:11: %COMMON_FIB-4-FIBNULLHWIDB: Missing hwidb for fibhwidb Port-channel1 (ifindex 1632) -Traceback= A585C B881B8 B891CC 2F4F70 5550E8 564EAC 851338 84AF0C 4CEB50 859DF4 A7BF28 A98260 882658 879A58
There is no workaround.
•
CSCsh36186
When using Enhanced IGRP (EIGRP), a route might not appear in the routing table after booting up or during link flap.
The workaround is to enter the shutdown interface configuration command followed by the no shutdown command on the affected interface.
•
CSCsi01526
Traceback messages appear if you enter the no switchport interface configuration command to change a Layer 2 interface that belongs to a port channel to a routed port.
There is no workaround.
•
CSCsi06399
When a RIP network and IP address are configured on an interface, a traceback error occurs after you enter the shutdown, no shutdown, switchport and no switchport interface configuration commands.
The workaround is to configure the RIP network and the IP address after you configure the interface.
•
CSCsi44924
On a Catalyst 3750 Metro switch running Cisco IOS release 12.2(35)SE2 or later, if you attach or modify a policy with a policer action that has a user-configured conform burst (bc) or peak burst (be) specified in milliseconds by using the police cir percent percent [bc conform-burst ms] | pir percent percent [be peak-burst ms] policy map configuration command, you might receive a false error message related to adjusting bc/be value to fit the interface supported range.
The workaround is to use the police cir cir policy-map class configuration command and to specify the committed information rate (CIR) as an absolute number in bits per second (b/s) instead of a percentage.
•
CSCsi46093
When an internal VLAN is configured as a preferred VLAN for Flex Link VLAN load-balancing ports, traffic loss might occur on the internal VLAN.
The workaround is to remove the interval VLAN from the Flex Link VLAN load-balancing preferred VLAN lists for both the active and backup interfaces.
•
CSCsi63999)
Changing the spanning tree mode from rapid STP to MSTP can cause tracebacks when the virtual port error-disable feature is enabled when the STP mode is changed.
There is no workaround.
•
CSCsi64513
When Ethernet Local Management Interface (E-LMI) is enabled on an ES port and VLAN translation is also configured for some VLANs on the port, VLAN translation is not processed correctly, and the VLANs are error-disabled by E-LMI.
The workaround is to not configure VLAN translation and ELMI-CE on the same ports.
•
CSCsi75246
An address learned as a supplicant that is aged out by port security aging is never relearned by port security under any of these conditions:
–
IEEE 802.1x authentication, port security, and port security aging are enabled on a port.
–
An address is cleared by port security.
–
You enter the clear port security privileged EXEC command.
The workaround is to use the dot1x timeout interface configuration command instead of the port security aging timer as the reauthentication timer for IEEE 802.

Documentation Updates

•
Hierarchical Policy Maps on ES EtherChannels
•
Updates to the Command Reference
•
Updates to the Hardware Installation Guide
Hierarchical Policy Maps on ES EtherChannels
As stated in the software configuration guide in Chapter 32, "Configuring QoS," the maximum shaping limit is not limited to 1 Gigabit if an absolute parameter policy is used, but instead it depends on the link status. The implicit shaper is now 1 Gigabit if one ES link is up and 2 Gigabits if both links are up.
Note that if there are child policies under a parent shaper that contain absolute bandwidth configurations and these policies become invalid because of ES link status changes, the entire policy is removed. Absolute values are not changed internally as percentage values are. If you want to configure an EtherChannel policy for a redundant application so that all policies would hold true no matter what the link state, there are two options:
•
Configure a policy without a shaper (since the switch supports only absolute shapers) and enter all bandwidth and policing in percentages. This way, the percentages will stay the same and the actual values will be automatically adjusted based on ES link status.
•
Configure an absolute parameter policy that allows a combination of shaping, bandwidth and policing at various layers, making sure that all policies are derived with an implicit 1 Gigabit shaper. One easy way to do this is to force one ES link down and make sure that the other one is UP. Then configure and attach a policy. If that policy is accepted and attached, this will remain the same if either link is down or if both links are up. The best effort traffic, or traffic that does not match the policy will occupy the remaining bandwidth.
IP SLAs Support
The Catalyst 3750 Metro switch includes partial support for Cisco IOS IP Service Level Agreements (IP SLAs) to provide advanced network service monitoring information and collect data pertaining to SLAs verification. The switch can initiate and reply jitter probes. However, the traffic does not follow the queuing configuration that is applied to customer traffic. All locally originated traffic always goes to the same egress queue on the switch port, regardless of the ToS setting for the IP SLAs probe. We recommend the use of an external shadow router to measure latency and packet drop rate (PDR) across the switch.
For performance testing purposes, this configuration was validated:
1.
Two switches connected back-to-back.
2.
No protocols running on the switch CPUs, including STP.
3.
Jitter probe send and receive rate:
a.
50 bidirectional probes sent with each probe consisting of up to 50 packets sent at 1-second intervals.
b.
Probes started with a 1-second stagger between each probe.
For information about IP SLAs on Cisco routers, see this URL:

Updates to the Command Reference
Commands for dynamic Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) inspection were revised in Cisco IOS Release 12.2(37)SE. These changes have not yet been incorporated into the command reference for this release.
•
ip arp inspection vlan logging
ip arp inspection validate
Use the ip arp inspection validate global configuration command to perform specific checks for dynamic Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) inspection. Use the no form of this command to return to the default settings.
ip arp inspection validate {[src-mac] [dst-mac] [ip [allow zeros] ]}
no ip arp inspection validate [src-mac] [dst-mac] [ip [allow zeros] ]
Syntax Description
Defaults
No checks are performed.
Command Modes
Global configuration
Command History
Release Modification12.2(20)SE
This command was introduced.
12.2(37)SE
The allow-zero keyword was added.
Usage Guidelines
You must specify at least one of the keywords. Each command overrides the configuration of the previous command; that is, if a command enables src-mac and dst-mac validations, and a second command enables IP validation only, the src-mac and dst-mac validations are disabled as a result of the second command.
The allow-zeros keyword interacts with ARP access control lists (ACLs) in this way:
•
If you configure an ARP ACL to deny ARP probes, they are dropped even if the allow-zero keyword is specified.
•
If you configure an ARP ACL that specifically permits ARP probes and configure the ip arp inspection validate ip command, ARP probes are dropped unless you enter the allow-zeros keyword.
The no form of the command disables only the specified checks. If none of the options are enabled, all checks are disabled.
Examples
This example show how to enable source MAC validation:
Switch(config)# ip arp inspection validate src-macYou can verify your setting by entering the show ip arp inspection vlan vlan-range privileged EXEC command.
Related Commands
Command Descriptionshow inventory vlan vlan-range
Displays the configuration and the operating state of dynamic ARP inspection for the specified VLAN.
ip arp inspection vlan logging
Use the ip arp inspection vlan logging global configuration command to control the type of packets that are logged per VLAN. Use the no form of this command to disable this logging control.
ip arp inspection vlan vlan-range logging {acl-match {matchlog | none} | dhcp-bindings {all | none | permit} | arp-probe}
no ip arp inspection vlan vlan-range logging {acl-match | dhcp-bindings | arp-probe}
Syntax Description
Defaults
All denied or all dropped packets are logged. ARP probe packets are not logged.
Command Modes
Global configuration
Command History
Release Modification12.2(20)SE
This command was introduced.
12.2(37)SE
The arp-probe keyword was added.
Usage Guidelines
The term logged means that the entry is placed into the log buffer and that a system message is generated.
The acl-match and dhcp-bindings keywords merge with each other; that is, when you configure an ACL match, the DHCP bindings configuration is not disabled. Use the no form of the command to reset the logging criteria to their defaults. If neither option is specified, all types of logging are reset to log when ARP packets are denied. These are the options:
•
acl-match—Logging on ACL matches is reset to log on deny.
•
dhcp-bindings—Logging on DHCP binding matches is reset to log on deny.
If neither the acl-match or the dhcp-bindings keywords are specified, all denied packets are logged.
The implicit deny at the end of an ACL does not include the log keyword. This means that when you use the static keyword in the ip arp inspection filter vlan global configuration command, the ACL overrides the DHCP bindings. Some denied packets might not be logged unless you explicitly specify the deny ip any mac any log ACE at the end of the ARP ACL.
Examples
This example shows how to configure ARP inspection on VLAN 1 to log packets that match the permit commands in the ACL:
Switch(config)# arp access-list test1Switch(config-arp-nacl)# permit request ip any mac any logSwitch(config-arp-nacl)# permit response ip any any mac any any logSwitch(config-arp-nacl)# exitSwitch(config)# ip arp inspection vlan 1 logging acl-match matchlogYou can verify your settings by entering the show ip arp inspection vlan vlan-range privileged EXEC command.
