Open Caveats—Cisco IOS Release 12.1(26)EB1
This section describes possibly unexpected behavior by Cisco IOS Release 12.1(26)EB1. All of the
caveats listed in this section are open in Cisco IOS Release 12.1(26)EB1. This section describes severity
1 and 2 caveats and select severity 3 caveats.
•
CSCsb03801
Symptom: ATMSIG Input process holds memory and does not release it back to the switch.
Workaround: None
•
CSCef95689
Symptom: When Cisco 8540/8510 switch connects to 3d vendor switch over IMA with one active
link a synchronization error may occur on 3d vendor switch.The problem does not occur for the
following scenarios:
– There is a Cisco to Cisco connection
– There are two and more links in IMA group
– There is one E1/T1 link without IMA configuration
The issue causes delayed ICP cells on Cisco side resulting in synchronization error.
Workaround: Either use two or more active links in IMA group or use single link without IMA
configuration.
•
CSCin19522
Symptom: For Frame Relay Soft VCs that use a frame size other than 250 (default), the CTTR
should not be modified.
Note
This DDTS is valid for Cisco IOS Release 12.1EB only.
Workaround: Delete the Soft VC from the configuration and recreate it with a new CTTR.
•
CSCdm36284
Symptom: The command show atm resources displays the number of cells in the UBR queue in an
MSC and it increases continuously. The increase happens very slowly.
This occurs when traffic is sent through a Catalyst 8540 MSR at line rate. Increasing the threshold
group per VC queue size does not eliminate the problem.
Workaround: None.

•
CSCsf04754
Multiple Cisco products contain either of two authentication vulnerabilities in the Simple Network
Management Protocol version 3 (SNMPv3) feature. These vulnerabilities can be exploited when
processing a malformed SNMPv3 message. These vulnerabilities could allow the disclosure of
network information or may enable an attacker to perform configuration changes to vulnerable
devices. The SNMP server is an optional service that is disabled by default. Only SNMPv3 is
impacted by these vulnerabilities. Workarounds are available for mitigating the impact of the
vulnerabilities described in this document.
The United States Computer Emergency Response Team (US-CERT) has assigned Vulnerability
Note VU#878044 to these vulnerabilities.
Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) identifier CVE-2008-0960 has been assigned to
these vulnerabilities.

•
CSCin67508
Symptom: The getmany utility program displays the wrong instances of the “ifStackTable”.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCeg16965
Symptom: Input and output packet counters do not increment when jumbo frames pass through the
interface.
Note
This is a cosmetic issue and does not impact traffic.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCee23976
Symptom: A LightStream 1010 ATM switch might crash and display
“0x602D5E58:usecdelay(0x602d5e10)”.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCdw67033
Symptom: If configuring RFC 1483 bridging on the ATM router module, when certain RFC 1483
bridging PVC cable connections are unplugged the Catalyst 8540MSR CPU utilization will become
very high. This could last a few hours until you shut down the corresponding bridge-group
subinterface on the ATM router module. Only shutting down the physical ATM port does not help.
Workaround: Shut down the corresponding bridging group subinterface on the ATM router module.
•
CSCdw04573
Symptom: The enhanced ATM router module subinterface counters do not get updated.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCdw02689
Symptom: When reloading the switch the following error message appears after a varying number
of SVCs are set up.
00:20:42: %ATMCORE-3-INTERNAL_ERROR: atmCore_connCheckSpot: exhausted vpi/vci
Workaround: None
•
CSCdv88029
Symptom: PNNI and SSCOP signaling does not come back up on the Catalyst 8540 MSR OC-48
interfaces after a power loss and restart.
Workaround: None.

Resolved Caveats—Cisco IOS Release 12.1(26)EB
•
CSCdv85162
Symptom: LDP session does not go down when you use the shut command on the enhanced ATM
router module interface. When tag-switching is configured on a Fast Ethernet interface and the
controlling ATM router module is either not configured or shut down, TDP comes up but the tag
packets received on the Fast Ethernet interface are dropped because there is no controlling ATM
router module to process the packets.
Workaround: Make sure the Fast Ethernet interface is linked to an active controlling ATM router
module.
•
CSCdv62465
Symptom: A tag switching traceback might appear when an interface is shut.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCdv49358
Symptom: When a circuit emulation service (CES) circuit that is carrying traffic is removed, no
warning message is shown.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCdv35065
Symptom: PNNI goes to the down state on all interfaces, and all adjacency is lost.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCdv22476
Symptom: The soft-VC permanent virtual connection (PVC) status is indicated as active only when
the Soft VC is established, and its connection state is up. If the Soft VC is not connected, the source
end of the Soft VC indicates the PVC status as inactive instead of active, and the destination end of
the Soft VC does not exist, and therefore indicates the PVC status as deleted.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCdv11126
Symptom: Single bit errors have been observed on CES circuits originating on the same interface
module if two other circuits always carry non-spec-conform AAL1 SNP for SN=0. Only this very
high number of SNP errors in 1/8 of all AAL1 cells causes the issue. Multiple SNP corrections that
could be seen in production networks are handled correctly without data loss or corruption.
This is an interoperability issue with a Lucent PSAX 2300.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCdv00784
Symptom: The Catalyst 8540 MSR switch may ignore certain commands from the NVRAM after a
reboot. This appears most often on switches with dual route processors.
Workaround: Create a connection traffic index and use that number for the setup of the PVC.
•
CSCdu65431
Symptom: If the ASP or 8515MSRP installed in a Catalyst 5500 chassis is OIR removed an installed
OC-12 Single Mode Intermediate Reach module (WAI-OC12-1SS=) continues to send carrier on the
OC-12 interface. This causes the interface of the ATM device connected to this interface to display
an up/up state even though the interface is reporting constant errors.
This affects all Cisco IOS versions for the Catalyst 8510 MSR and LightStream 1010.

Resolved Caveats—Cisco IOS Release 12.1(26)EB
Note
The WAI-OC12-1SSLR= and WAI-OC12-1MM= modules do not exhibit this problem.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCdu39277
Symptom: After performing consecutive OIRs of three traffic-shaping carrier modules (TSCAMs)
in a chassis more than 20 times, memory allocation fails. Because the TSCAMs require 2 MB of
contiguous memory, this failure might occur on a system with severely fragmented memory.
Workaround: Do not perform a large number of consecutive OIRs on the TSCAM and do not
perform an OIR on a module that has a large number of VCs.
•
CSCdu35462
Symptom: After a reload, the switch router’s memory might be corrupted. This occurs after the
following error messages are displayed:
TLB (store) exception occurred on ...
dcl-dram-excep: A3420019, dcl-memd-excep: 60C10100, dcl-io-excep: 012C1580"
TLB (load or instruction fetch) exception occurred on 00/05/03 10:38:16 ...

" *** Unknown External Interrupt *** Stacked Cause = 0x0, Stac
Workaround: None.
•
CSCdu03975
Symptom: There is a noise problem with the CES PAM hardware version one.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCdu01489
A ROMMON configuration might not work properly.
Symptom: A ROMMON configuration might not work properly on a slot after performing an OIR
on the interface module in that slot.
Workaround: Reload the switch router.
•
CSCdt83187
Symptom: On the LightStream 1010 switch when you try to use the atm rmon collect interface
command you receive the following error:
ATM-RMON Error: Entry not found
Workaround: None.
•
CSCdt78388
Symptom: The Catalyst 8510 MSR does not auto boot if the first file in the bootflash is not an
executable file (for example, the running-configuration or crashinfo files).
Workaround: Delete any non-executable file from the bootflash that appears before the first
bootable image.

•
CSCdt17751
Symptom: The following operations will result in a CPU HOG and a CPU HOG error message:
– when a TSCAM is inserted or removed from the chassis
– when a port adapter module (PAM) is inserted into or removed from the subcard 0 position of
the TSCAM
This does not affect the future operation of the TSCAM.
Workaround: Although this CPU HOG should not have any adverse impact on the network, we
recommended that any online insertion or removal of TSCAMs or port adapter modules in the
subcard 0 position of the TSCAM are scheduled appropriately.
•
CSCds86520
Symptom: An error message appears while sending traffic with a super CAM (for example, the
OC-48 combo super CAM or OC-12 super CAM) and performing the following:
– Using the online diags command to enabling online diagnostics
– Performing an OIR of the super CAM
– Use the shutdown and the no shutdown commands on one of the interfaces
If you perform these processes on the super CAM you might see the following error message:
ALIGN-3-READEXCEPTION messages.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCds27586
Symptom: The subinterfaces of an ATM router module (ATM router module or enhanced ATM
router module) may appear to receive the INARP packets even though the main interface is shut
down. The upper layer finally discards the packet based on the state of the interface. There is no
impact on functionality.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCdr62898
Symptom: Per-VC drop counters are not consistent. This applies only to non-packet discard
connections. The inconsistencies are between the three per-VC statistics: total RX cell drops,
RX UPC violations, and RX clp0 q full drops. The total of RX UPC violations and RX Clp0 q full
drops exceeds the total RX cell drops count. However, the total RX cell drops is accurate.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCdr30421
Symptom: Multicast stats shows an incorrect rate in kbps.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCdp95194
Symptom: A LightStream 1010 configured for MPLS might not correctly increment counters on
outgoing TVCs, although the data is being correctly sent out of the TVC.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCdp80826
Symptom: OAM F5 loopback cells are not passing across 25-Mbps port adapter interfaces.
Workaround: Configure the global configuration command no atm oam intercept end-to-end on
the switch.

•
CSCdp15454
Symptom: The PNNI on-demand routing algorithm ignores longer equal cost paths.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCdp02816
Symptom: The show ncdp path root command might not display any information when you access
the switch through the Ethernet port.
Workaround: Access the switch using the console port.
•
CSCdm80628
Symptom: A T1 CES interface does not send out a remote alarm indication (RAI) in the reverse
direction upon detecting an alarm indication signal (AIS).
Workaround: None.
•
CSCdm62514
Symptom: Reset button does not work correctly, and switch does not reload.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCdm36800
Symptom: The CES ABCD bits are not user configurable when a fault occurs.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCdm04186
Symptom: EIGRP stops advertising routes out of an interface when there does not appear to be any
interface problems.
Workaround: Enter the shutdown and the no shutdown commands on the affected interface.
•
CSCdk73733
Symptom: Power-on diagnostics display an NVRAM-Config failure following the second
power-cycle after you use the write erase command if the write memory command has not been
used between power-cycles.
This failure occurs only if you use the write erase command and the power-on diagnostics runs
twice without the write memory command being used.
Note
Power-on diagnostics run only if the switch is powered on. Power-on diagnostics do not run
when using the reload command.
Workaround: After using the write erase command, use the write memory command before power
cycling the switch.
•
CSCdk42052
Symptom: When loading a software image version 11.3 or later on a switch router with a software
image version 11.2 or earlier, LEC and other LANE components might fail to come up if they are
configured using an ATM address whose first 19 bytes are the same as the active ATM address of
the switch.
The ATM address of the switch along with the first 128 values for its selector byte should be reserved
for use by PNNI. Starting with software image version 11.3, PNNI supports hierarchy and registers
an ATM address for all PNNI nodes using the switch ATM address with various selector byte values.

OL-14425-01
9
Resolved Caveats—Cisco IOS Release 12.1(26)EB
Workaround: If LANE components fail to come up because their ATM addresses conflict with the
reserved ATM addresses for PNNI, reconfigure the LANE components using different addresses.
We recommended that LANE applications use the addresses shown by the show lane
default-atm-addresses command, which eliminates this problem.
•
CSCdk25256
Symptom: A non-zero generic flow control (GFC) field is not reset to zero when passing through
the switch router.
When cells with a non-zero GFC field are received on a PVC, they are switched on the exit port
without changing the GFC field. The switch should reset to zero all GFC bits from cells received
with non-zero GFC at the user network interface (UNI).
Workaround: None.
•
CSCdk07378
Symptom: Funnel VCs can jeopardize quality of service (QoS).
The current multipoint-to-point funnel implementation can compromise the QoS guarantees of
other connections (guaranteed services) when the application that created the funnel SVC
malfunctions. For example, if the application were to transmit traffic on more than one leg of the
funnel SVC simultaneously, the rate scheduler on the output interface oversubscribes and,
potentially, affects the peak cell rate (PCR), sustained cell rate (SCR), and maximum cell rate
(MCR) guarantees for other VCs on the interface.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCdj80396
Symptom: While setting up a large number of calls, the system generates the following error
message:
%SYS-3-CPUHOG: Task ran for 5852 msec (0/0), process = Exec, PC = 6008DBB4
Workaround: None.
•
CSCdj78305
Symptom: IP host-routing does not disable when specified.
Workaround: Enable and disable IP routing and then save the configuration to NVRAM.
•
CSCdj71109
Symptom: The ATM switch does not currently support maxvc-number negotiation through ILMI.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCdj42967
Symptom: When memory is almost or completely exhausted and a soft PVC goes down, it might
not come back up, leaving it in a releasing or inactive state.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCdj25772
Symptom: Cell loss might occur while hot swapping a power supply.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCdj18678
Symptom: SNMP support of the ciscoAtmIfPhysEntryData table and LED information is not
available on the 25-MB port adapter.
Workaround: None.

•
CSCdj13565
Symptom: ATM RMON data collection is not supported on subinterfaces or tunnels. The atm rmon
collect command is accepted on hardware interfaces only; it is ignored on subinterfaces. SNMP and
NVGEN support (through PortSelTable) is not possible until the interface’s MIB (RFC 1573) entries
are added for tunnel subinterfaces. ATM RMON counters for a hardware interface do not include
any of the traffic through tunnels configured on the interface.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCdj10889
Symptom: The call attempt counters for PortSelectGroups might not count the outgoing calls on its
NNI interfaces because of switch crankback attempts. This might result in a discrepancy between
the call attempt counters shown on PortSelectGroups representing the interface on which the call
came in and the counters shown on the PortSelectGroups representing the interface over which an
attempt was made to forward the call. This problem might occur when a call fails.
Workaround: None.
Resolved Caveats—Cisco IOS Release 12.1(23)EB
Cisco IOS Release 12.1(23)EB is a rebuild release for Cisco IOS Release 12.1(22)EB. The caveats in
this section are resolved in Cisco IOS Release 12.1(23)EB but may be open in previous Cisco IOS
releases.
•
CSCin70593
Symptom: When a CES circuit (CES PVC, SPVC, or SVC) is created through SNMP, there is an
entry created in the “ifTable” and in the tables of the “atmfCES mib” for each circuit. After an online
removal of the T1-CES or E1-CES interface module, these entries are not deleted.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCin69343
Symptom: On the CES-E1 or CES-T1 interfaces the admin status appears down even after entering
the no shutdown command when the framing is changed.
This problem does not appear when you only enter the shutdown and no shutdown commands on
the interface through SNMP. If you read the “ifAdminStatus” object, it appears as up.
This same problem is observed in the CES-T1 interface.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCin23067
Symptom: The number of point-to-multipoint soft-PVC connections on the destination switch
displayed by the output of the show atm state command might conflict with the output of the show
atm vc conn-type soft cast p2mp command. The show atm vc conn-type soft cast p2mp command
displays the correct status of the point-to-multipoint soft-PVC connections on the switch.
Workaround: None.

•
CSCin22597
Symptom: The value of the “Number of soft vc re-try attempts:” shown in the output of the show
atm soft-vc p2mp interface atm card/subcard/port vpi vci command is always one greater than the
actual number of retry attempts made.This is because the counter is incremented upon starting the
party retry timer and not when the timeout happens and the signaling message is sent.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCef69111
Symptom: Unicast reverse path forwarding (uRPF) does not drop packets that are malformed or that
have forged (spoofed) addresses of hardware-switched packets on the Catalyst 8540 or Catalyst
8510 switches running Cisco IOS Release 12.1(23)E. For example, if the switch is configured to
perform unicast reverse path forwarding using the ip verify unicast source reachable-via rx
command or the ip verify unicast reverse-path command and the switch is running Cisco IOS
Release 12.1(23)E, those hardware-switched packets might be forwarded.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCee91544
Symptom: The IP traffic on a Catalyst 8540 CSR running Cisco IOS Release 12.0(26)W5(28) is
route processor switched instead of hardware switched if an 8-port Gigabit Ethernet interface
module is replaced with a 2-port Gigabit Ethernet interface module using OIR. This route processor
switching causes a high CPU load.
Workaround: Reload the switch.
•
CSCee43952
Symptom: In certain situations, a Catalyst 8540 2-port Enhanced Gigabit Ethernet 16K
(C85GE-2X-16K) interface module might see good frames as CRC errors. This occurs when two of
these same modules are communicating across the WAN link. These CRC errors eventually cause a
port stuck situation.
Workaround: Terminate the WAN link on a Layer 2 switch in between the Catalyst 8540 and the
WAN link not on one of the C85GE-2C-16K interface modules.
•
CSCed95945
Symptom: The ATM interface on a router connected to a Catalyst 8540 MSR is shut down, but the
ATM interface on the Catalyst 8540 MSR continues to stay up. The expected result would be the
“down” state. This occurs if a C85MS-8T1-IMA interface module in the Catalyst 8540 MSR is
running Cisco IOS Release 12.1(19)E and the ATM interfaces are configured as part of an IMA
group.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCed20914

Symptom: Packets are switched out on native VLANs leading to routing by the CPU (with BVI).
This occurs on EPIF-based interface modules when untagged packets coming in on the dot1q native
VLAN are not processed by the microcode. Instead, they are given to the CPU, and the CPU
performs the processing. This causes high CPU utilization if untagged packets are received at a high
rate on the native VLAN subinterfaces.
Workaround: None.

CSCin67939
Symptom: The wrong payload pattern in idle cells might be transmitted from DS-3 and E3
interfaces.
As per recommendation I.361 (of the ITU-T), the payload pattern of the idle cell is “01101010” or
“0x6A”. But in DS-3 and E3 interfaces of the Catalyst 8510 MSR, Catalyst 8510 MSR, and
LightStream1010 ATM switches, the payload pattern of the idle cell is set to “00000000” or “0x00”.
This is incorrect as per the ITU-T specification.
Some interoperability issues with other devices might appear if those devices expect only the
“0x6A” pattern.

CSCed38527
Symptom: A vulnerability in the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) specification (RFC793) has
been discovered by an external researcher. The successful exploitation enables an adversary to reset
any established TCP connection in a much shorter time than was previously discussed publicly.
Depending on the application, the connection may get automatically re-established. In other cases,
a user will have to repeat the action (for example, open a new Telnet or SSH session). Depending
upon the attacked protocol, a successful attack may have additional consequences beyond
terminated connection which must be considered. This attack vector is only applicable to the
sessions which are terminating on a device (such as a router, switch, or computer) and not to the
sessions that are only passing through the device (for example, transit traffic that is being routed by
a router). In addition, this attack vector does not directly compromise data integrity or
confidentiality.
All Cisco products which contain TCP stack are susceptible to this vulnerability.
This advisory is available at
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20040420-tcp-ios.shtml, and it describes this
vulnerability as it applies to Cisco products that run Cisco IOS® software.

CSCeb29970
Symptom: When establishing soft-VP between switches, if a VP number is used by the previous
switch and if that switch sends an error stating that “VPI” is already used, then the switch receiving
that error should use a different VPI number during its next retry attempt. For example:
Switch-1 (1/0/0)-------(1/0/0) Switch-2 (1/1/1)---------(1/1/1) Switch-3 (1/1/0)
1. A soft-VP call is getting initiated by Switch-1.
2. The node ID of Switch-3 is higher than Switch-2.
3. The Switch-2 ATM1/1/1 interface has a PVP configured with VPI 4 (ATM PVP 4).
In this scenario, when a call is initiated by Switch-1, it is forwarded by Switch-2 to Switch-3.
Because the node ID of Switch-3 is higher than Switch-2, Switch-3 requests a VP number. If the
request is for VPI 4 on Switch-3's ATM1/1/1, it will reach Switch-2's ATM1/1/1. Because there was
a PVP configured on Switch-2's ATM1/1/1 interface with PVP 4, it is rejected stating that VPI is
“unavailable”. This error is sent to both Switch-1 and Switch-3. During the next attempt when
Switch-3 requests a VPI number, it should request a different VPI number from 4.
Workaround: None.

Symptom: ILMI does not come up upon reload of VP-MUX (VUNI).
ILMI on the tunnel interface, which is connected to the far end peer device through a VP-MUX
switch and virtual UNI, is occasionally unable to come up and stay in “WaitDevType” state after
reloading the VP-MUX switch. This situation can be cleared by shutting down the tunnel interface,
disabling ILMI and entering a no shutdown command on the tunnel interface. After the interface
settles down, ILMI on the tunnel can then be reenabled by shutting down the interface, and entering
both the atm ilmi-enable command and the atm auto-configuration command, if desired. Reenable
the tunnel interface with a no shutdown command.

•
CSCdj84379
Symptom: The granularity provided by the FC-PFQ feature card scheduling hardware does not
allow an exact match of all requested cell rates. To satisfy the traffic contract guarantee, the next
higher available scheduling value is used. A shaped VP tunnel is used frequently to pass data to a
WAN VP trunk, and limits the traffic transmission to the scheduled rate. This can cause cells to be
dropped in the WAN. It might be better to do any dropping prior to multiplexing onto the VP, so that
a packet discard can be performed. Packet discard cannot be performed on the VP trunk.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCdj82930
Symptom: Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) does not recognize more than four parallel interfaces.
This might cause some tag switching VCs (TVCs) to not get switched to other interfaces if a tunnel
carrying the TVCs is shut down.
Workaround: Enter a clear ip route command on the switch on the interface that was shut, or a
clear ip route command on all the switches to bring everything back up. If the clear ip route
command does not bring everything back up, enter a shutdown/no shutdown command sequence
on the UNI interfaces of the switch that had the closed physical interface.
•
CSCdj68412
Symptom: If there are multiple parallel paths to the same destination on a switch router with a
FC-PFQ feature card installed, the tag switching VCs (TVCs) should be load balanced on a per
network prefix basis over these parallel paths (up to a maximum of four parallel paths) instead of
being VC merged. Load balancing does not happen in some cases and the TVCs might be VC merge
and go out of the switch as a single VC.
Workaround: None.

CSCdj54954
Symptom: On a switch router equipped with an FC-PFQ, the maximum number of cells available
for use is 64,511. The number of cells in the switch fabric is 65,535.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCdj18430
Symptom: The cell count reported on a snooped interface is twice the actual number of cells
transmitted.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCdj01757
Symptom: When one of the installed power supplies is powered OFF, and you are copying an image
to bootflash, a power supply failure message appears.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCdi92142
Symptom: A LECS, using Cisco IOS Release11.2(X), expects all LESs to establish an individual
control VC to the LECS to validate clients.
If different emulated Local Area Networks (ELANs), using Cisco IOS Release 11.1(X), are
configured on multiple subinterfaces of the same physical interface, then all LESs multiplex the
control messages (which validate the clients) into a single VC.
For example, see the following LES router configuration:
atm1/0.1
atm1/0.2
atm1/0.3
atm1/0.4
sysa_70k_31_a1.1_LAN
sysa_70k_31_a1.2_LAN
sysa_70k_31_a1.3_LAN
sysa_70k_31_a1.4_LAN
sysa_70k_31_a1.1_LAN
sysa_70k_31_a1.2_LAN
sysa_70k_31_a1.3_LAN
sysa_70k_31_a1.4_LAN
This configuration of an LECS sends the following warning messages to the console stating that an
LES of one ELAN is attempting to obtain information about another ELAN:
%LANE-4-LECS_WARNING: interface ATM2/0/0: elan 'sysa_70k_31_a1.4_LAN' LES asking for
elan
'sysa_70k_31_a1.1_LAN'
%LANE-4-LECS_WARNING: interface ATM2/0/0: elan 'sysa_70k_31_a1.4_LAN' LES asking for
elan
'sysa_70k_31_a1.2_LAN'
%LANE-4-LECS_WARNING: interface ATM2/0/0: elan 'sysa_70k_31_a1.4_LAN' LES asking for
elan
'sysa_70k_31_a1.3_LAN'
The clients are still allowed to join the ELAN. Disregard the warning messages.
Workaround: None.

Symptom: When a large number of LANE clients come up and down constantly over extended
periods of time, the system can run out of AAL5 buffers and the following message appears:
%AAL5-3-INTERNAL_ERROR: No more big aal5 pkts
In most cases, the system continues to function normally, but occasionally the system denies
additional calls from end systems.
Workaround: Toggle the interface to reinitialize all connections and restore normal operation.

CSCdi75584
Symptom: Under very heavy traffic conditions the switch might experience temporary queue cell
failures. This should clear after the traffic congestion clears.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCdi74229
Symptom: When more than 1000 SVCs are active on an interface and the shutdown command is
entered, all SVCs on that interface are released and the following message appears:
%SYS-3-CPUHOG
This message indicates that the release process runs for a long time before returning control to the
kernel, which can then schedule other tasks. This process does not affect normal operation of the
switch.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCdi55937
Symptom: Remote defect identification (RDI) cells sent by an end point in response to alarm
indication signal (AIS) cells generated at an intermediate switch with a fault condition on an
interface are not propagated beyond the intermediate switch. The intermediate switch removes the
connection leg entries for both interfaces participating in the connection when a fault is discovered
on one of the interfaces, even though the other interface might still be up. As a result, the RDI cells
are dropped at the intermediate switch.
Workaround: None.

CSCdy14709
Symptom: The “ifindex persistent” feature support was added beginning with Cisco IOS Release
12.1(13)E.
The SNMP ifIndex persistence feature provides an interface index (ifIndex) value that is retained
and used when the switch reboots. The ifIndex value is a unique identifying number associated with
a physical or logical interface.
For additional information refer to the document, Configuring SNMP IfIndex Persistence.
Workaround: None.

•
CSCin44348
Symptom: The Frame Relay retry interval is shown twice in the running configuration. This means
the configured Frame Relay soft VCs are not preserved after an image reload or a route processor
switchover.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCin41597
Symptom: PNNI routing fails from one access device to a complex peer in some branches. For
example, in the following network example, calls from the Ls1010 switch to an interface on the
Catalyst 8540 switch are not set up.
Ls1010
Catalyst 8540.2 (level 56)
94215
Catalyst 8540 (level 70)
However, calls from the Catalyst 8540 switch to the Ls1010 switch are set up correctly. If the
Catalyst 8540.2 switch is configured as a simple single-level hierarchy, the calls originated from
either switch to the other switch are set up without any problems.
Workaround: Configure the complex node (Catalyst 8540.2 switch) as a simple hierarchy.
•
CSCin40363
Symptom: The switch crashes when you run the no tag-switching mtu command.
Workaround: None.

session.
The following issues are also seen. Through a console session:
– Run the show atm pnni topology detail command and wait for the more prompt to appear.
Through a Telnet session delete the lowest level node. Pressing the Space key on the console
session causes spurious memory access.
– Run the show atm pnni aggregation node border-detail exception-detail command and wait
for the more prompt to appear. Through a Telnet session delete the lowest level node. Press the
Space key on the console session. The output is not aborted gracefully.
– Run the show atm pnni database command and wait for the more prompt to appear. Through
a Telnet session delete the lowest level node. Press the Space key on the console session. The
output is not aborted gracefully.
– Run the show atm pnni explicit-paths detail command and wait for the more prompt to appear.
Through a Telnet session delete the lowest level node. Pressing the Space key on the console
causes spurious memory access and tracebacks are seen.
Workaround: None.

CSCin36885
Symptom: On a Catalyst 8510 MSR if an OC-3 interface is overbooked and configured with PVCs
that consume more than 599 Mbps of bandwidth, during bootup, these PVCs are lost from the
running configuration.
The following error message appears during bootup for every PVC that is rejected.
%connection creation fails: specified traffic/resource parameters are invalid

Symptom: Soft PVC does not come up.
If a soft PVC originates from a Catalyst 8510 MSR or LightStream 1010 ATM switch is directly
connected to an Alcatel switch, the soft PVC never comes up. If the call originated from the Alcatel
side, the soft PVC comes up with no problem.
Note
This occurs if the Catalyst 8510 MSR switch is running Cisco IOS Release

CSCdv41809
Symptom: On the CES module interface, the status reads up/up and the status of the PVC to that
interface is up in even though there is no physical connection at that port.
Workaround: Perform the shutdown and the no shutdown commands on the interface to clear the
erroneous status.
•
CSCdr59877
Symptom: In the LightStream 1010 switch, the output of a show ethernet command displays the
“lost carrier” count following the collision counter. This is a counter error only and does not actually
indicate a lost carrier and does not impact the operation of the Ethernet interface.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCdk64928
Symptom: When a LightStream 1010 ATM switch has its image saved in bootflash and the
config-register is configured to 0x2101, the system stays in ROMMON mode after a crash.
If the config-register is set to 0x2102, the switch crashes a second time by bus error while trying to
open slot 0. The switch then recovers and boots the bootflash image.
Workaround: Set the MONRC command in the ROM monitor, which overrides any BOOT
SYSTEM command from the configuration, as follows:
rommon 1>MONRC="boot bootflash:"
rommon 2>sync
rommon 3>reset

CSCin02864
Symptom: On interface ATM0, while breaking the packet into cells, when the MTU size
configuration is checked it is checked for the cross-connect ATM interface and not for interface
ATM0 itself. This means if the size of the packet exceeds the configured MTU on the cross-connect
ATM interface, the following error is displayed:
%LINK-4-TOOBIG: Interface ATM1/1/3, Output packet size of 2008 bytes too big
Workaround: There are two possible workarounds for this condition: either change the MTU size
on both ATM interfaces back to the default using the command no mtu in interface configuration
mode, or change the MTU configuration on interface atm 0 to match the MTU configuration on the
cross-connect interface using the mtu number interface configuration command.

CSCdy44850
Symptom: The command network-clock-select priority system disappears from the running
configuration after a switch reload.
After entering the command in global configuration mode, the switch parser adds the keyword
“clock” at the end of the line and that causes the reload to skip the command when parsing the
configuration file.

Symptom: If you disconnect the transmit cable from an E1 CBR interface on a Catalyst 8540,
Catalyst 8510, or LightStream 1010 switch, the interface still appears up/up. No indication of error
messages appears in the log files.
When the transmit cable is reconnected, it starts to transmit traffic again. However, if the transmit
cable is disconnected multiple times, the link does not pass traffic even when the transmit cable is

CSCdx93120
Symptom: On a Cisco 6400 Node Switch Processor (NSP) running Cisco IOS Release 12.2(2)B and

following message:
Jun 20 15:56:17.742: %ATMCORE-3-INTERNAL_ERROR: atmCore_oamRcvPing: No match.
The failure occurs when running the ping towards specific destination ATM switches, and is
dependent on the format of the loopback cell received from the destination ATM switches. The
occurrence of this problem is difficult to predict and depends on the particular ATM switch
implementation of the destination switch.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCdx91019
Symptom: A Cisco 6400 NSP, running Cisco IOS Release 12.1(5)DB or 12.2(2)B, displays the
following error message when you use the atm ping interface atm slot/subslot/port VPI VCI
end-loopback command and enter the wrong VP/VC combination:
connection doesn't exist
Any future atm ping commands to any connections (both valid and invalid) always result in the
same error message and the ping commands fail. It fails even if the connection is valid, and even if
a VP ping is used (for example, no VC number is specified).
You can still use the IP ping command to diagnose the connectivity between the NRP2 (Node route
processor 2) and NSP.
Workaround: None.

Symptom: When using ATM Frame Relay IWF on a Catalyst 8540 MSR running Cisco IOS Release
12.0(18)W5(22) or later, the output queue of the pseudo-ATM interface might go to 40/40 and
remain there even if no traffic is going through the switch on the ATM-FR circuits.
Note
A reload might be required to clean that counter, but connectivity is not impacted.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCdw70257
Symptom: A Catalyst 8510 MSR configured with an IMA (inverse multiplexing for ATM) bundle
might not log link up-or-down status messages. Only messages displaying clock change are logged.
See the following example:
04:23:21:
04:24:26:
04:25:21:
04:26:06:
%CLOCKSW:
%CLOCKSW:
%CLOCKSW:
%CLOCKSW:
Switching from ATM1/1/1 to ATM1/1/0
Unswitching from ATM1/1/0 to System
Switching from System to ATM1/1/1
Unswitching from ATM1/1/1 to System
As each interface recovers its revertive clocking and the source is recovered, link functionality is
restored. Confusion can be created if there are multiple links flapping and only CLOCKSW
messages are received without reporting status of the interface.
The correct physical status can be viewed properly with the show ima interface and the show ima
interface atm card/subcard/port max detail commands to display the status of the interface and
counters.
Note
This behavior is not seen when the switch is configured as standalone.
Workaround: None.

Workaround: None.
•
CSCdv46664
Symptom: All MPLS VPN connectivity is broken on Cisco 7500, Cisco 7200, and all common
platforms if there is a TCATM link between the two provider edges (PEs) that falls in the IGP path
and LSP. The routers are disabled from initiating a headend VC request over a TCATM link.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCds77275
Symptom: On the LightStream 1010 switch, very intermittently, a SVC call could be rejected due

CSCin12417
Symptom: An ATM interface might stick in the “going down” state if the PVC is created from the
ATM router module with VCI “34” on the ATM side. For example, “atm pvc 2 35 pd on interface
ATM0/0/0 7 34” causes the line to flap up and down.
Note
The problem is not seen with any other VCI on the ATM side.
Workaround: Recreate the PVC using any VCI other than 34 on the ATM side.
•
CSCdy38993
Symptom: A route processor crash occurs when address registration fails at the switch. Also, an
error message is flashed to the console. This problem occurs when traffic is flowing over a Flexwan
module and either a hw-module-reset or OIR has occurred.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCdx65390
Symptom: When a point-to-multipoint SVC connection is set up through a switch (root and leaf are
active and cross-connected), and a request is received to add a leaf through another interface, and
the allocation of this half-leg fails, the connection structures associated with this half-leg are not
cleaned up. This means when the connection is cleared, the failed connection cannot be released.
This ties up bandwidth and VPI and VCI resources for the root half-leg of the connection.
Note
These resources cannot be cleared using the shutdown and the no shutdown commands on
the interface.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCdx58649
Symptom: Avaya PBX and Definity PBX interoperability testing caveats.
The following caveats exist for signaled ATM point-to-multipoint (P2MP) connections and the
debugging of issues related to them on the Catalyst 8500 ATM switches:
– Hardware processing to release connection IDs (VPI/VCI) on low-rate P2MP connections can
be slow. When add party and drop party are issued in quick succession on such a connection,
insufficient time is spent waiting for completion, which causes an unnecessary rejection of the
add party. There is no workaround for this issue.
– When a slave NNI node (in terms of connection ID allocation) proposes a connection to the
master, and the master then uses the proposed VPI/VCI itself (intending to give the
slave-proposed-VC another connection ID), two SVCs end up owning the same underlying VC.
The result is a dangling half-leg, and possibly allocated bandwidth that is never returned. There
is no workaround for this issue.
– Handling of unexpected values in the second byte of the ATM signaling message-type field is
to drop the message. This is incorrect. There is no workaround.
– Several debug messages received during “error” debugging are normal events. This causes
clogging of the log buffer with non-errored messages. This is for “mmc errors” and “atm sig
cc-errors”.
Workaround: None.

CSCdw27518
Symptom: Frame Relay PVC goes down and remains down after enabling the OAM feature and
performing a shut / no shut on the serial interface. However, traffic flow is not affected through the

Workaround: None.
•
CSCdv65055
Symptom: Configuring different encapsulations on 2-port Gigabit Ethernet subinterfaces clears the
existing active configuration when multiple subinterfaces are present on a main interface.
Workaround: All subinterfaces have to be configured with the same encapsulation (either 802.1 Q
or Inter-Switch Link [ISL]).
•

This has no functionality impact.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCdt11569
Symptom: Oversized packets on the enhanced ATM router module interface are observed when it
is a member of a BVI. This console output relates to the oversized packets on the enhanced ATM

DA 0100.5e00.0005 SA 0001.4274.ee09 [0x080045C0]
The system recovers from this. The cause of this may be temporary congestion in the switch fabric,
leading to the loss of the last cell of the packet.
Workaround: None.

CSCin09752
Symptom: If an IMA group exists between a Catalyst 8540 and a Catalyst 8510 switch with CBR
soft VCs configured and a link of the IMA group shuts down or fails, the IMA interfaces still display
the previous bandwidth value. This bandwidth value is greater than the actual resources available on
the interface and the soft VCs still appear as up on both the Catalyst 8540 and Catalyst 8510
switches. This continues to happen as more links are shut down or fail until the two CBR soft VCs
that require the resources of seven E1 links still appear as up with only one E1 link actually up
between the IMA interfaces and the other six links that are shut down.
Note
This behavior is seen when the links are either deleted from the IMA group or are shut down.
Workaround: Use the shutdown and the no shutdown commands on the IMA group and they
display the correct values of available and allocated bandwidth.

CSCin09850
Symptom: When an ATM soft-VC or soft-VCP is configured between two interfaces of a
Catalyst 8540 MSR using a particular VPI, and a soft-VC or soft-VCP is configured with the same
VPI, the following error appears:
%ATMCORE-3-INTERNAL_ERROR: atmCore_connAllocateHalfLeg: return resource err.2
The internal error message should not appear when the soft-VC or soft-VCP configuration fails.
Plus, the following expected message is seen more than once:
connection creation fails:vpi/vci has been used
The internal error message is not seen when a PVC configuration on an interface is followed by a
PVP configuration that uses the same VPI. Also, the internal error is not seen when the interface on
which the configuration is being done does not have the resources required by the soft-VC or
soft-VCP.
After the configuration is executed and then fails, this causes the allocation of the bandwidth
requested by the CBR VC even though no VC actually exists. If, for example, N kbps is free on an
interface, and a soft-VC is configured from that interface with a VPI-VCI already in use and uses a
CTTR of N kbps, the configuration fails, but all N kbps that were free on that interface are lost. This
bandwidth loss is seen only with the CBR service-category.
Note
Using the shutdown and the no shutdown commands on the interface does not recover the
lost bandwidth.
Workaround: For the Catalyst 8540 MSR, if you switch over the route processor it recovers the lost
bandwidth on the interface. No workaround exists on the Catalyst 8510 MSR. No workaround exists
for the following error message:
"%ATMCORE-3-INTERNAL_ERROR: atmCore_connAllocateHalfLeg: return resource err.2

CSCin09194
Symptom: If you configure OAM on a PVC while it is down, the OAM state of the VC is displayed
as “not applicable” instead of “OAM-Down” and never changes. This means OAM cells are not sent
even after the VC comes up. This only occurs if AIS is not enabled for the VC.
Workaround: Configure OAM for a VC only when it is in up state.
•
CSCdx09652
Symptom: After OAM detects a failure on a PVC terminating on the ATM router module (ARM),
it fails to remove the adjacency, the directly connected route, and any additional route pointing to
the next hop reachable over the failed PVC. This condition might stop traffic.
Workaround: There is no workaround, other than to perform an admin shutdown of the ARM
subinterface (if the PVC is the last or only PVC on that subinterface). Alternatively, you could
remove the PVC until the problem has been rectified.

Symptom: If PNNI continuously receives a high rate of corrupted PTSP packets over a long period
of time, it can cause a large number of internal node numbers to be generated for bogus Node IDs.
If the number of internal node numbers reaches 1032, it can cause a crash.
Under normal conditions, PTSP packets should have a very low rate of being corrupted. But if PNNI
interfaces are tunneled through a network where the connections are limited to too low a rate, then
it can force cell drops that can corrupt packets.
Workaround: Troubleshoot and remove the cause of PTSP packet corruption.

Resolved Caveats—Cisco IOS Release 12.1(10)E
Cisco IOS Release 12.1(10)E is a rebuild release for Cisco IOS Release 12.1(7a)EY1. The caveats in this
section are resolved in Cisco IOS Release 12.1(10)E but may be open in previous Cisco IOS releases.
•
CSCdw33267
Symptom: Load balancing between provider edge (PE) to provider (P) switches and provider edge
to provider edge does not work. If MPLS is enabled on the switch router running Cisco IOS Release
12.1 software, MPLS might not resolve all dependant routes for a path if you enter the shut/noshut
or the clear ip route commands on the outgoing interface of the next hop router.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCdv48352
Symptom: When running Cisco IOS Release 12.0(18)W5(22) on a Catalyst 8540 MSR or on a
LightStream 1010, interoperability problems occur when peers run an older Cisco IOS version, and
tunnels and SVC/Soft VCs are used.
Workaround: Upgrade all switches to the most current Cisco IOS release.
•
CSCdv45286
Symptom: Point-to-multipoint PVCs that are configured by using SNMP are not preserved across
route processor switchovers.
Workaround: Disable the dynamic synchronization feature.
•
CSCdv39328
Symptom: When using a Packet Over SONET card, the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) routes do
not come up after a route processor switchover, even though they were up before the switchover.
Workaround: None
•
CSCdv32093
Symptom: The switch might reload when VP tunnels are created and removed.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCdv21398
Symptom: The Management Information Base (MIB) object “ifAdminStatus” shows up for an
ADMIN DOWN E1 Controller after a reload or a route processor switchover.
Workaround: Enter the shutdown and the no shutdown command sequence on the controller.
•
CSCdv15245
Symptom: With a Frame Relay-ATM soft-VC set up in FRF5, UPC on the passive side is always set
to PASS, regardless of the hard setting on the serial interface with the frame-relay upc-intent
tag-drop command. The default is PASS. When this is changed to tag-drop, the configuration does
not reflect the change and the show vc int serial command always shows the UPC intent as PASS.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCdu78056
Symptom: The SNMP TRAP object ccrCpuStatusChange returns an invalid value.
Workaround: None.

•
CSCdu69809
Symptom: A port of a 4-port DS3 port adapter for LightStream 1010s and for Catalyst 8540s is in
a yellow or red alarm state, and stops sending DS3 framing for a brief time when the alarm is cleared
from the interface and the interface transitions to an UP/UP state. The loss of frame (LOF) can be
seen when the Acterna tool TBERD is connected to the TX port of the DS3 port.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCdu50525
Symptom: The EIGRP summary routes are not properly populated in the adjacency table when a
default route also exists. This affects the Fast Ethernet and ATM router module interfaces, but does
not impact the Gigabit Ethernet interfaces.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCdu44352
Symptom: A Cisco edge services router (ESR) that is running Cisco IOS Release 12.1(2)E1
experiences interoperability problems when an ATM traffic descriptor information element is
included in the CONNECT message on a non-negotiated link. Under such conditions, a STATUS
message is sent with cause “invalid information element contents (100)” and the call does not
succeed. This problem is observed when Cisco routers are connected to other vendor switches like
FORE, and occurs only when UNI version is 4.0.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCdu20618
Symptom: One side of a circuit emulation service (CES) E1 port of a LightStream LS1010 switch
connection remains consistently in the YELLOW alarm or ALARM INTEGRATION state.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCdt96389
Symptom: After rebooting the switch router, Ethernet interfaces might have invalid MAC addresses,
causing connectivity problems over that interface.
Workaround: Enter the shutdown command and then the no shutdown command on the affected
Ethernet interfaces.
•
CSCdt71010
Symptom: The ifTable indexes do not match the MIB-II table indexes.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCds28912
Symptom: IP traffic is not sent over a PVC if aal5mux encapsulation is used on a point-to-point
subinterface on the Catalyst 8540 MSR. If the debug atm errors command is enabled, the following
error messages appears:
point-to-point interface does not have a VCD
Workaround: None.

•
CSCdv43426
Symptom: When a Catalyst 8540 MSR has a large number of inverse multiplexing over ATM (IMA)
port adapter modules, a message similar to the following is generated:
-Process= "IMAPAM Onesec", ipl= 6, pid= 70
-Traceback= 600D8280 600D8644 6049F928 600C03CC 600C03B8
%SCHED-3-THRASHING: Process thrashing on watched message event.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCdv15238
Symptom: Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) does not work over port channel platforms.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCdv11518
Symptom: After the Tag Distribution Protocol (TDP) toggles from down to up (“flaps”) on the
Label Controlled ATM (LC-ATM) interface, it takes a long time for the interface to become TDP
ready. Entering the show tag-switching tdp discovery command might indicate that TDP is not
ready, and TVCs might still be allocated on the interface. This can occur under stressful conditions
in which cross-connections fail to be deallocated on the ATM switching fabric.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCdv07613
Symptom: Under stressful conditions such as large topology changes, TVC cross-connections
might fail to be removed from the ATM switching fabric, causing the TC-ATM function to repeat
attempts to remove the TVCs. This might lead to the TC-ATM state process entering a bad state and
to displaying an error message.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCdv06370
Symptom: Not all of the contents of the atmVcCrossConnectTable can be seen after the removal
and reinsertion of a module. This message is seen on the console during some Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) get operations:
%ATMCORE-3-INTERNAL_ERROR: ATOM ERROR: ifCB_p=NULL for lowIf
Workaround: None.
•
CSCdu86398
Symptom: What is present in the Patricia trie in the Ethernet processor interface is out of
synchronization with what is present in IP Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF). This might cause
connectivity problems. This problem only exists on Ethernet processor interfaces; entries in the
Switching Database Manager (SDM) on Gigabit processor interface cards are not affected.
Workaround: Find the route (for example, the route network_x) that is not consistent with IP CEF;
enter (in the case of this example) the clear ip route network_x command.

•
CSCdu83797
Symptom: Some point-to-multipoint cross-connect entries are missing from the
atmVcCrossConnectTable when the point-to-multipoint root if-index is higher than the if-index of
the leaves.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCdu83707
Symptom: Interfaces with Tag enabled get stuck in the TDP not ready state.
Workaround: None. The only way to bring up the Tag on such interfaces is by performing a system
reload.
•
CSCdu83704
Symptom: During TagVC installation, if the switch driver returns an error, the Connection Manager
leaves the TagVC in the wrong FSM state. This can lead to TVCs existing on an interface when there
are no tag bindings.
Workaround: None; reload the switch to clear such unused TVCs.
•
CSCdu82922
Symptom: When running Cisco IOS Release 12.0(13)W05(19), a bus error causes the system to
restart. This occurs when an 8-port Gigabit Ethernet card with control traffic is at or near its traffic
capacity.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCdu78141
Symptom: If a large frame or packet (more than 6096 bytes) is received on the tag control virtual
circuit (0/32 of an interface enabled for tag switching), the frame is not purged from the switch
fabric. Subsequent packets received on this virtual circuit are dropped, causing the Tag Distribution
Protocol (TDP) and the routing session (OSPF) to time out.
Workaround: Disable, then reenable, tag switching on the affected interface; subsequent
occurrences can be avoided by increasing the queue depth, using the following entry:
atm threshold 2 max-queue-limit 511
•
CSCdu74491
Symptom: After reloading the core switch, all neighboring switches running Cisco IOS Release
12.0(16)W6(21) or 12.0(16)W6(21a) crash, and a message similar to the following is generated:

this section are resolved in Cisco IOS Release 12.1(7a)EY but may be open in previous Cisco IOS
releases.
•
CSCdu56774
Symptom: In Cisco IOS Release 12.1(6)EY and earlier, only two equal-cost IP paths were supported
on Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet interface modules that were based on an Ethernet processor
interface.
Workaround: Upgrade to Cisco IOS Release 12.1(7a)EY; in that release, four-path load balancing

Symptom: When entering the show atm ilmi-status command the switch shows the 0.0.0.0 as a
peer IP address even though a loopback address is configured.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCdt91339
Symptom: In the ATM-MIB there is an atmVcCrossConnectTable that allows SNMP to create VC
cross-connects. It is not possible to create multipoint connections. At the time of creating the second

•
CSCdt73634
Symptom: If an interface comes up after the system initialization, the scheduler for that interface
might not be programmed correctly. Since IMA interfaces come up after system initialization, IMA
interfaces are usually affected by this.
Workaround: Enter the shutdown command on the IMA interface. Take the first link on the IMA
interface out of the IMA group. Bring that interface up. Shut down that interface and then make it
part of the IMA group. Enter the no shutdown command to bring the IMA interface up.
•
CSCdt45629
Symptom: When the switch router is under stress because there are greater than 1000 TVCs on a
given interface, some TVCs might not get set up successfully and the following error message
occurs:
%TCATM-4-RESOURCE_LIMIT: VC resource exhausted
Workaround: Configure less than 1000 TVCs on the interfaces.
•
CSCdt44914
Symptom: The transmit side of a tag-enabled ATM interface may go into the “not TDP ready” state.
Use the show tag tdp discovery command to verify that it is in the “not TDP ready” state. As a
consequence, Tag is inactive on that interface.
Workaround: Enter the shutdown command followed by the no shutdown command. If this does
not work, there is no workaround.
•
CSCdp20865
Symptom: Performing a shutdown/no shutdown command sequence on an ATM router module
interface, especially when it has configured a large number of LANE clients, might cause an error
message like this to appear:
%LANE-3-LANE_ERROR: lecs finder: ILMI hung on interface ATM1/0/0
It indicates an internal timeout occurred. It should try to self-cover and not affect any normal
operations.
Workaround: None.

•
CSCdt63813
Symptom: A LightStream 1010 switch router might automatically reload. When you enter the show
version command, the switch reports the reason as “System was restarted by error - a Software
forced crash”. In addition, the log error message might say:
"SYS-6-BLKINFO: Corrupted @redzone blk"
Other messages indicating memory corruption might also occur.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCdt62215
Symptom: After resetting a switch or router that is connected to a CES port on a LightStream 1010
or Catalyst 8510, there is connectivity above the physical layer.
Workaround: Enter the shutdown command and then the no shutdown command on the CBR
interface of the LightStream 1010 or Catalyst 8510.
•
CSCdt47492
Symptom: ILMI might stay in the “waitdevtype” state after a redundancy failover. This is because
on an OC-3 port adapter, each of the four ports are served by one processor interface. The first port
needs to be set for the other three ports to be able to receive. Sometimes this does not occur on a
redundancy failover.
Workaround: Bring up port 0, if problem is seen on ports 1to 3; bring up port 4, if problem is seen
on ports 5 to 7; bring up port 8, if problem is seen on ports 9 to 11; bring up port 12, if problem is
seen on ports 14 to 15. The ports can be brought up by connecting a loopback cable, or by simply
using that port.
•
CSCdt40530
Symptom: When access is made to PNNI tables, a memory leak might occur. This only happens
when an Network Management System (NMS) is running SNMP on the switch router.
Workaround: Turn off NMS polling of PNNI tables and instead use the commands for determining
any PNNI information.
•
CSCdt38604
Symptom: An IP address might not be learned by peer switch when using ILMI status.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCdt17850
Symptom: The outbound ACL fails to filter packets in the subinterface when the static ARP is
configured and the ACL is used with it. If a static ARP is configured and the same address is moved
from an interface to a subinterface of the same interface, the static ARP entry remains associated
with the main interface itself.
Workaround: If the IP address is reconfigured to a subinterface of a main interface, then delete and
reconfigure the ARP address.
•
CSCdt15978
Symptom: Telnet responses between two switch routers might be very slow.
Workaround: Replace one switch router with another that can accept ISL frames less than 94B in
size (for instance, the Catalyst 5000).

CSCdt09229
Symptom: The switch router might loose traffic on its LANE or 1483 or 1577 interfaces on an ATM
router module. Frame interfaces or non-LANE interfaces on an ATM router module with configured
PVCs should pass traffic without any problems. It doesn't matter if the traffic is going to a route
processor or not, part of the traffic is lost.
Workaround: The switch router recovers from this state only after an OIR of the module or a reload.
•
CSCdt05674
Symptom: A switch with a lot of FC-PCQ connections or running a lot of LANE traffic, might
display the following message when the interface carrying most of the traffic is shut down:

CSCdt53814
Symptom: An ATM router module port configured for transparent bridging and in blocking state
may forward certain frames.
Workaround: Ensure that a non-ATM router module port is in blocking state. If this is not feasible,
physically shut down the ATM router module port that is in blocking state.
•
CSCdt43218
Symptom: The IP PAT tree becomes programmed incorrectly for 1483 SVC after removing the
ATM router module. If an SVC is configured on an ATM router module/enhanced ATM router
module card and the card is OIRed, the adjacency available across the SVC will remain valid in the
EPIF/XPIF cam. This results in packets destined to that adjacency to disappear.
Workaround: Before OIRing an ATM router module/enhanced ATM router module, remove any
subinterfaces that have a SVC configurations, then proceed to do the OIR.
•
CSCdt24278
Symptom: The ATM router module sets the CLP of all cells to 1 when bridging is configured over

•
CSCds81263
Symptom: The IP CEF adjacencies are reported as invalid when using the ATM router module
configured with LANE clients on the Catalyst 8540 MSR. The router reports an invalid cached
adjacency for ip addresses that is not reachable through the LANE interface when running the
show ip cef ip address command.
For example:
show ip cef 207.18.18.0
207.18.18.0/24, version 25, cached adjacency to ATM11/0/0.1
0 packets, 0 bytes
via 207.18.19.1, ATM11/0/0.1, 0 dependencies
next hop 207.18.19.1, ATM11/0/0.1
invalid cached adjacency
With an invalid cache adjacency, all the packets destined to this address are sent to the route
processor for processing.
The CEF adjacency are invalid until a LANE data direct VC and valid LE-ARP entry are established
on the adjacent device. As soon as the data direct VC and LE-ARP entry are established, the
adjacency are reported as valid.
Workaround: None.

•
CSCdr79972
Symptom: The ATM router module always signals a fixed value for the PCR if LANE is configured

help with ATM traffic shaping/policing by the ATM nodes in between.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCdr70086
Symptom: The IP adjacencies are not being cleared from the Gigabit Ethernet module quickly. The
show epc ip-address command was issued on the adjacency. It was found that the entry for the host

worked again.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCdr36952
Symptom: The switch router crashes and hangs when ip http server is configured and a browser
connects to http://<router-ip>/%%. This defect can be exploited to produce a denial of service (DoS)
attack. This information has been announced on public Internet mailing lists that are widely read by both
security professionals and by security “crackers,” and should be considered public information.
Workaround: Disable the IP http server with the following command: no ip http server
Alternatively, the administrator can block port 80 connections to the switch router through access
lists or other firewall methods. For further information, refer to the security advisory available at

Assistance Center (TAC) engineers provide telephone support. If you do not hold a valid Cisco service
contract, contact your reseller.
Cisco Technical Support Website

Submitting a Service Request
Using the online TAC Service Request Tool is the fastest way to open S3 and S4 service requests. (S3
and S4 service requests are those in which your network is minimally impaired or for which you require
product information.) After you describe your situation, the TAC Service Request Tool automatically
provides recommended solutions. If your issue is not resolved using the recommended resources, your
service request will be assigned to a Cisco TAC engineer. The TAC Service Request Tool is located at
this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/techsupport/servicerequest
For S1 or S2 service requests or if you do not have Internet access, contact the Cisco TAC by telephone.
(S1 or S2 service requests are those in which your production network is down or severely degraded.)
Cisco TAC engineers are assigned immediately to S1 and S2 service requests to help keep your business
operations running smoothly.

Definitions of Service Request Severity
To ensure that all service requests are reported in a standard format, Cisco has established severity
definitions.
Severity 1 (S1)—Your network is “down,” or there is a critical impact to your business operations. You
and Cisco will commit all necessary resources around the clock to resolve the situation.
Severity 2 (S2)—Operation of an existing network is severely degraded, or significant aspects of your
business operation are negatively affected by inadequate performance of Cisco products. You and Cisco
will commit full-time resources during normal business hours to resolve the situation.
Severity 3 (S3)—Operational performance of your network is impaired, but most business operations
remain functional. You and Cisco will commit resources during normal business hours to restore service
to satisfactory levels.
Severity 4 (S4)—You require information or assistance with Cisco product capabilities, installation, or
configuration. There is little or no effect on your business operations.
