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 XE Release 3.8.xE.

IOS XE 3.4.xSG, 3.6.xE, and 3.8.xE are extended maintenance (EM) trains supporting 4500-X.

New Software Features

 

Table 5 New Software Features in this Release
Feature Name
Description

Cisco Encapsulated Remote Switched Port Analyzer (ERSPAN)

Helps monitor traffic on source ports or source VLANs, on remote destination switches or probes across the network. ERSPAN uses a generic routing encapsulation tunnel (GRE) tunnel to carry traffic between switches.

Limiting Login

Helps network administrators to limit the login attempt of users to a network. When a user fails to successfully login to a network within a configurable number of attempts within a configurable time limit, the user can be blocked. This feature is enabled only for local users and not for remote users. You need to configure the aaa authentication rejected command in global configuration mode to enable this feature.

x.509v3 with SSH Authentication

Uses the public key algorithm (PKI) for server and user authentication, and allows the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol to verify the identity of the owner of a key pair via digital certificates, signed and issued by a Certificate Authority (CA).

Feature Name
Description

Auto Identity

Provides a set of built-in policies at the global configuration and interface configuration modes. The Auto Identity feature uses the Cisco Common Classification Policy Language (C3PL)-based configuration that significantly reduces the number of commands used to configure both authentication methods and interface-level commands. The Auto Identity feature provides a set of built-in policies that are based on policy maps, class maps, parameter maps, and interface templates.

(IP Base and Enterprise Services)

Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) for Intermediate System to Intermediate System (IS-IS)

BFD Support for the IS-IS protocol, on IPv4 and IPv6.

(Enterprise Services)

Cisco TrustSec—SGACL Logging and Statistics

Option to enable logging of Security Group-Based Access Control (SGACL) information and Access Control Entry (ACE) statistics. The logged information includes the source and destination security group tag, the SGACL policy name, packet protocol type, the action performed on the packet, and ACE matches. For more information, see the Cisco TrustSec Switch Configuration Guide on cisco.com.

(IP Base and Enterprise Services)

LACP Min-Links

Allows you to specify the minimum number of active ports that must be in the link-up state and bundled in an EtherChannel for the port channel interface to transition to the link-up state.

(IP Base and Enterprise Services)

Link State Group

The upper limit of the link state group number value is now increased (from 10) to 20. You can configure upto 20 link state groups per switch.

(IP Base and Enterprise Services)

Named VLAN

Option to specify a VLAN name for access and voice VLAN.

(IP Base and Enterprise Services)

Policy-Based Routing (PBR) with Object Tracking

Support for a new command set ip next-hop verify-availability, to use PBR with object tracking, to verify the reachability of the next-hop IP address to which to forward packets, using an Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) ping as the verification method. This feature is supported only on IPv4 PBR and is not supported on IPv6 PBR, and PBR on VSS and VRF.

(IP Base and Enterprise Services)

Rapid PVST+ as Default

Rapid PVST+ is now the default spanning-tree mode used on all Ethernet port-based VLANs.

(IP Base and Enterprise Services)

Resilient Ethernet Protocol (REP) Enhancements

Option to configure an administrative VLAN for each segment. This allows you to configure any number of administrative VLANs as long as it is per segment.

(IP Base and Enterprise Services)

Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) Enhancements

Bridge Assurance—Protects the network from bridging loops that are caused by unidirectional links, or a malfunctioning switch. Bridge Assurance is enabled by default, and applies only to PortFast network ports.

Detecting UniDirectional Link Failures (or the STP Dispute Mechanism)—The switch port detects unidirectional link failures by checking the consistency of the port role and state of the BPDUs received. When a conflict is detected, the designated port reverts to a blocking state. This feature does not require any user configuration.

PVST+ Simulation—This is now user-configurable. You can enable or disable this feature per port, or globally. PVST+ simulation is enabled by default. It allows seamless interoperability between MST and Rapid PVST+.

(IP Base and Enterprise Services)

Storm Control Enhancements

Option to specify the threshold level for broadcast traffic in bits per second (bps) and packets per second (pps).

(IP Base and Enterprise Services)

UDP Forwarding Support for IP Redundancy Virtual Router Group

Upgrading the System Software

If you are upgrading to Cisco IOS XE Release 3.8.xE 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

  • RADIUS Server legacy command: Do not configure the legacy radius-server host command; this command is deprecated. If the software version running on your device is Cisco IOS XE 3.8.7E or a later release, using the legacy command can cause authentication failures. Use the radius server host command in global configuration mode.
  • mGRE with NHRP (DMVPN) is not supported.
  • For few ACLs, OGACL programming results in “Partial Programmed” state. (CSCvc21299)
  • 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:

–blank.gif Auto QoS enterprise

–blank.gif Auto QoS guest

–blank.gif 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>
<X-Interface> permit any any</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:

–blank.gif Decrease the number of monitors.

–blank.gif 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:

–blank.gif At least 10K groups and roughly 20K mroutes exist.

–blank.gif 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:

–blank.gif Links flap for various Layer 3 protocols.

–blank.gif 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).
