•
CSCin80041
Symptom: Static programming of bridge MAC entries does not work. If you configure the brdging
entry on the ATM router module (ARM) subinterface, the ifindex value is programmed instead of
the outgoing VC value and the traffic to this destination MAC is dropped.
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 display conflicting results with the
output of 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.

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.
•
CSCef30794
Symptom: When the following command is entered the LightStream 1010 switch crashes:
LS1010(config)# no atm oam intercept end-to-end
Workaround: None.
•
CSCef95689
Symptom: On a Catalyst 8510 MSR switch connected to a third party switch over an IMA
connection with only one active link a synchronization error might occur on the third party switch.
This problem does not appear on connections between Cisco equipment, if there are at least two
links in the IMA group, or if the E1/T1 link is not an IMA connection. This is caused by delayed
ICP cells on the Cisco side causing the synchronization error.
Workaround: Use two or more active links in the IMA group or use a single link without the IMA
configuration.
•
CSCef15087
Symptom: When the switch tries to flood a PTSP (PNNI Topology State Packet), whose size is
greater than 4096 bytes, the switch reloads due to memory corruption. This problem usually occurs
a when large number of ATM prefixes are being advertised by a PNNI node.
This problem occurs only when the PTSP being flooded is greater than 4096 bytes.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCed91457
Symptom: When reloading the image on a LightStream 1010 ATM switch running Cisco IOS
Release 12.0(28)W5(30), you might see the following error message during bootup:

CSCee93031
Symptom: ILMI registration might fail on Cisco switches and routers connected to Lucent products.
For example, entering the show atm ilmi-status could display the following:
Switch# show atm ilmi-status
Interface : ATMX/Y Interface Type
ILMI VCC : (0, 16) ILMI Keepalive
ILMI State:
UpAndNormal
Peer IP Addr:
0.0.0.0
Peer MaxVPIbits: 8
: Private UNI (User-side)
: Enabled/Up (5 Sec 4 Retries)
Peer IF Name:
Peer MaxVCIbits:
14
ILMI PVC is UP, but address registration failed
Note
This could happen suddenly on Cisco switches and routers connected to some vendor
switches such as Lucent.
Workaround: Reload the switch or router.
•
CSCec61153
Symptom: Debugs remain enabled for removed interface modules.
1. If you use the debug atm sig-all command, the debugs are enabled for an interface. If that
interface module is removed from the chassis, the show debug command output continues to show
that “sig-all” debugs are enabled for the removed interface module.
2. If you use the deb atm sig-all command, the debugs are enabled for all interfaces and if an
interface module is removed from the chassis, the show debug command output continues to show
that “sig-all” debugs are enabled for the removed interface modules.
This is only a display issue. There is no impact on functionality.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCeb31070
Symptom: When connecting the IMA interface module from a Catalyst 8510 MSR or LightStream
1010 ATM switch to a Nortel Passport 15000, the IMA interface does not come up.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCdx47684
Symptom: On the LightStream 1010 switch, a PNNI PVC link on an NNI interface might flap after
the link stabilizes and the ATM PNNI VC component does not come back up.
Workaround: “Bounce” the PNNI process using the no atm router pnni and atm router pnni
configuration commands to disable and enable the PNNI processes.
•
CSCdw67033
Symptom: If configuring RFC1483 bridging on the ATM router module, when certain RFC 1483
bridging PVC cable connections are unplugged the Catalyst 8510MSR CPU utilization will become
very high. This could last a few hours until you shutdown the corresponding bridge-group
subinterface on the ATM router module. Only shutting down the physical ATM port will not help.
Workaround: Shutdown the corresponding bridging group subinterface on 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 8510 MSR OC48
interfaces after a power loss and restart.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCdv85162
Symptom: LDP session does not go down when you shut 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 shutdown, TDP will come up but the tag packets received
on the Fast Ethernet interface will be 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 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 8510 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 set up of the PVC.
•
CSCdu65431
Symptom: If the ASP or 8515MSRP installed in a Catalyst 5500 chassis is OIR removed an installed
OC12 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.
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 ...
dcl-dram-excep: A3420019, dcl-memd-excep: 60C10100, dcl-io-excep: 012C15",
" *** 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.

•
CSCdt81408
Symptom: Interoperability with the switch can cause cell loss on the Catalyst 6015 or the Catalyst
6260 if an E1 IMA group consists of either 1 or 3 active links.
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 will not affect the future operation of the TSCAM.
Workaround: Though this CPU HOG should not have any adverse impact on the network, it is
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: While sending traffic with super CAM (for example, the OC48 combo super CAM or
OC12 super CAM) and enabling the online diags, then performing an OIR of the super CAM. If you
use shutdown and no shutdown commands on one of the interfaces 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 to any 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.
•
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 8510 MSR at line rate. Increasing the threshold
group per VC queue size does not eliminate the problem.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCdm36800
Symptom: The CES ABCD bits are not user configurable when a fault occurs.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCdm04186
Symptom: EIGRP routes stop might be advertised out of an interface when there doesn’t appear to
be any interface problems.
Workaround: Enter the shutdown command followed by the no shutdown command on the
effected interface.
•
CSCdk73733
Symptom: Power-on diagnostics will 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.

OL-14478-01
Open Caveats—Cisco IOS Release 12.1(26)E7
This failure will occur 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 the 11.3 software version, PNNI supports hierarchy and registers an
ATM address for all PNNI nodes using the switch ATM address with various selector byte values.
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. It
is 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) for services.
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.

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 (via 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.

Symptom: The access list for SNMP is not applied by executing the snmp-server tftp-server-list
command; thus, making it possible to transfer the configuration file from any server, regardless of
the contents of the access list.
Conditions: This symptom is observed only when the SNMP service is running.
Workaround: Disable the SNMP service and apply a more generic access list to restrict traffic to
and from the affected device.

Symptom: A router may reset its Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) session.
Conditions: This symptom is observed when a Cisco router that peers with other routers receives
an Autonomous System (AS) path with a length that is equal to or greater than 255.
Workaround: Configure the bgp maxas limit command in such as way that the maximum length
of the AS path is a value below 255. When the router receives an update with an excessive AS path
value, the prefix is rejected and recorded the event in the log.

Symptom: The LSA for the default route (0.0.0.0) may get flushed when an SPF algorithim is
executed. The type 7 LSA for the default route is generated with an age of 3600. After 1 to 7 seconds,
a type 7 LSA default route with an age of 0 is created. This happens under the following conditions:
1) If there is a NSSA for which the ABR is generating a default route with the command area xx
nssa default-information originate
2) A summary is being generated on this router via the summary-address 0.0.0.0 command or any
summary that will include 0.0.0.0 network.
Example:
router ospf 1
area 10 nssa default-information originate
summary-address 0.0.0.0 [not-advertise]
Workaround:
1) Change the summary-address to not include the 0.0.0.0 network.
2) Change to NSSA no-summary area and remove the default-information originate, since the
totally NSSA area will generate a default as a type 3 on the ABR.

•
CSCef60452
Symptom: During convergence, in rare cases the router might receive “Join” on the RPF interface
if the downstream router converges faster. In this case, when the router adds a new route to the
source later, it does not trigger “Join” because the OIL is null (the downstream router has already
pruned the old source-tree.) As a result, multicast traffic is stopped until the router receives the next
periodic “Join” from the downstream router again and sends “Join” upstream.
Workaround: None

A Cisco device running Cisco IOS and enabled for the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is
vulnerable to a Denial of Service (DoS) attack from a malformed BGP packet. Only devices with
the command ‘bgp log-neighbor-changes’ configured are vulnerable. The BGP protocol is not
enabled by default, and must be configured in order to accept traffic from an explicitly defined peer.
Unless the malicious traffic appears to be sourced from a configured, trusted peer, it would be
difficult to inject a malformed packet.
If a misformed packet is received and queued up on the interface, this bug may also be triggered by
other means which are not considered remotely exploitable such as the use of the command ‘show
ip bgp neighbors’ or running the command ‘debug ip bgp <neighbor> updates’ for a configured bgp
neighbor.
Cisco has made free software available to address this problem.

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.

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. Assume a soft-VP call is getting initiated by Switch-1.
2. Assume that the node ID of Switch-3 is higher than Switch-2.
3. Assume that the Switch-2 ATM1/1/1 interface has a PVP configured with VPI 4 (ATM PVP 4).

OL-14478-01
Resolved Caveats—Cisco IOS Release 12.1(20)E
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. So, during the next attempt when
Switch-3 requests a VPI number, it should request a different VPI number from 4.
Workaround: None.

Symptom: Problems occur in CISCO-ATM-IF-PHYS-MIB implementation:
1. ciscoAtmIfPhysLineFebeErrors returns Path FEBE errors instead of Line FEBE errors.
2. ciscoAtmIfPhysPathFebeErrors returns Line FEBE errors instead of Path FEBE errors.
This only happens with OC-3/STM-1 or OC-12/STM-4 interfaces.

Symptom: Interoperability problem between LightStream 1010 and Compaq Server with ATM NIC
if you pull out the optical fiber connection and reconnect it. If you do so, ILMI keeps restarting, and
never stabilizes. You can use the shutdown command on the interface, then disconnect and
reconnect the fiber optic connection and use the no shutdown command on the ATM interface to
eliminate the problem. These commands cause ILMI to restart correctly.
Note
Using the shutdown and no shutdown commands on the LightStream 1010 ATM interface
after the disconnection and reconnection does not solve the problem.
Workaround: Follow these steps:
1. Reboot the server.
2. Use the shutdown and no shutdown commands on the des ATM-Switch-Interfaces.
3. Restart of the ATM-NIC (only the NIC interface).
4. Bind the TCP-Stack.

driver and the firmware can experience a transient failure when the port adapter firmware crashes
under heavy traffic conditions. The port adapter recovers from this transient failure if it is reset after

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 state of “WaitDevType” after
reloading the VP-MUX switch. This situation can be cleared by shutting down the tunnel interface,
disabling ILMI followed by 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, entering the
atm ilmi-enable command and also the atm auto-configuration command, if desired. Reenable the
tunnel interface with a no shutdown command.

monitor prompt. You can then manually reboot the switch.
•
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.

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.

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 4 parallel paths) instead of being

CSCea66219
Symptom: A memory leak occurs in the ATMSIG processes. This is observed using the show
processes memory command. The ATMSIG processes hold increasing amounts of memory and free
memory is decreasing.
Note
This occurs on LightStream 1010 ATM switches or Catalyst 8510 MSR running Cisco IOS
Release 12.0(24)W5(26b), Cisco IOS Release12.1(12c)E, or Cisco IOS Release 12.1(13)E1.
Workaround: None. The switch must be rebooted to recover.
•
CSCea33595
Symptom: On a LightStream 1010 switch running Cisco IOS Release 120-24.W5.26b, might crash
because of a system restarted by a bus error at PC 0x6063F9C8, address 0xD0D0D15.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCdw43258 (LightStream 1010)
Symptom: If you use the show version command on a LightStream 1010 switch with a faulty Flash
PC card, the following error message might appear:

Symptom: An ATM router module interface with a PVC configured might experience a port stuck
condition.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCdv41809
Symptom: On the CES module interface, the status reads UP/UP and the status of PVC to that
interface is UP in even though there is no physical connection at that port.
Workaround: Perform shutdown and no shutdown on the interface to clear the erroneous status.
•
CSCdr59877
Symptom: In the LightStream 1010 switch, on the output of a show ethernet command display, the
“lost carrier” count will follow 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

CSCin29715
Symptom: If a Frame Relay-Frame Relay PVC is deleted through SNMP Resource Management the
information is incorrect in the show frame-relay interface resource serial
card/subcard/port:chn_grp_# command display.
This allows for creation of more VCs than the physical bandwidth available.

Symptom: Packets received with a destination multicast MAC address and destination unicast IP
address, are forwarded to the Route Processor and then forwarded back out on the VLAN where the
packets were received.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCin12744
Symptom: Signaling is reset on other interfaces of the device that are not connected to the peer
switch being reloaded.
Workaround: None.
•
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 # interface configuration command.
•
CSCdz06963
Symptom: After a LAN emulation client (LEC) goes down, a router that has an enhanced ATM port
adapter (PA-A3) may not be able to register a network service access point (NSAP) address with an
Integrated Local Management Interface (ILMI). Several messages that are similar to the following
may be logged in the log file:

This symptom is observed on a Cisco router that has a PA-A3 port adapter and that is running Cisco
IOS Release 12.2(10a). This symptom is observed after the software is upgraded from Cisco IOS
Release 12.2(8)T4.
Workaround: Reload the router.
•
CSCdy45231
Symptom: The IMA interface module does not generate a syslog message when the link goes down.
Workaround: None.
•
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.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCdy32886
Symptom: When using version UNI 4.0, during SVC call set ups, a Catalyst 8500 MSR switch in
the “Call Received” state does not send a connect-ack upon reception of a connect. This causes the
SVC to be released.
Workaround: Use version UNI 3.1
•
CSCdy07314
Symptom: A Catalyst 8500 MSR running Cisco IOS version 12.0(20)W5(24b) might crash with a
bus error in the SNMP code.
Workaround: Disabling polling chassis MIBs might prevent the crash.
•
CSCdx94423
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 appear 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
reconnected.
Workaround: Use the shutdown and no shutdown commands on the interface and it returns to
normal, or disconnect the receive cable and reconnect it.
•
CSCdx93120
Symptom: On a Cisco 6400 Node Switch Processor (NSP) running Cisco IOS Release 12.2(2)B and
its derivatives, using the atm ping command to test a valid and active VP might fail with the
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.
•
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 show ima interface and show ima
interface atm card/subcard/port max detail to display the status of the interface and counters.
Note
This behavior is not seen when the switch is configured as stand alone.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCdw22559
Symptom: When an IMA interface module is installed in the switch chassis, and if “loopback PIF”
is configured on any OC-3 or OC-12 interface, loopback is NOT reflected when queried through
SNMP. Loopback is NOT actually being set.
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 headend VC request over TCATM link.
Workaround: None.

Workaround: None.
•
CSCds77275
Symptom: On the LightStream 1010 switch, very intermittently, a SVC call could be rejected due
to a VPI/VCI collision when established the call is through a PVP tunnel.
Workaround: After you reseat the interface module on which the PVP tunnel is configured, the
condition will be cleared for some time.

•
CSCin12417
Symptom: An ATM interface might stick in the state “going down” 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, that 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 no shutdown commands on the
interface.
Workaround: None.

CSCdx58649
Symptom: Avaya PBX and Definity PBX interoperability testing.
The following caveats exist for signalled 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 signalling 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.

CSCdx11136
Symptom: Power-on Diagnostics fail on the Catalyst 8510 MSR when Cisco IOS Release 12.1(10)E
or higher is loaded in the bootflash.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCdx04773
Symptom: When the Cisco ATM switch is running UNI 4.0 with a Fore or Marconi switch, it might
releasing a call because of unsupported traffic parameters.
This occurs when the Cisco ATM switch is connected to the other vendor equipment and configured
to operate with UNI 4.0 version across the link and as a non-negotiated link. If any traffic parameter
values are modified the Cisco ATM switch treats this as fatal error and releases the call.
Workaround: Hardcode the UNI version to 3.1
•
CSCdw93109
Symptom: When using ATM Frame Relay IWF on a Catalyst 8510 MSR running 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.

Symptom: If an IMA group exists between a Catalyst 8540 and Catalyst 8510 switches with CBR
soft VCs configured between the switches and a link of the IMA group is shut down or fails, the
IMA interfaces still display the pervious 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 2 CBR soft VCs that require the resources of 7 E1 links still appear as “up” with only
1 E1 link actually “up” between the IMA interfaces and the other 6 links that are shutdown.

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.

Resolved Caveats—Cisco IOS Release 12.1(12c)E
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 no shutdown commands on the interface does not recover the lost
bandwidth.
Workaround: For the Catalyst 8510 MSR, if you switchover 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

CSCin09205
Symptom: If a VC is down when the switch is reloaded, the ARM subinterface stays UP even though
the OAM-state is OAM-Down.
Workaround: Bring the VC UP at least once after a reload.
•
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 work-around, 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: Globally changing TDP to LDP or changing LDP to TDP sometimes causes a loss of
neighbors.
Workaround: Following is a four-step work-around:

CSCdw22219
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 rate limited to a too low rate it
can force cell drops which can corrupt packets.
Workaround: Troubleshoot and remove the cause of PTSP packet corruption.

Symptom: If an interface comes up after the system initialization, the scheduler for that interface
might not be programmed correctly. Since IMA interfaces comes 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 IMA group. Bring that interface up. Shutdown that interface and then make it part
of 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 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.
Resolved Caveats—Cisco IOS Release 12.1(6)EY
Cisco IOS Release 12.1(6)E is a rebuild release for Cisco IOS Release 12.1(5)EY1. The caveats in this
section are resolved in Cisco IOS Release 12.1(6)EY but may be open in previous Cisco IOS releases.
•
CSCdt93866
There might be a buffer overflow.
Symptom: Sending a crafted control NTP packet might cause a buffer overflow.
Workaround: Include the “ntp access-group serve-only” line in the configuration of the router.
•
CSCdt86157
Symptom: The snmp polling of the virtual path mibs atmVplLastChange and atmVplOperstatus
results in unavailability of the virtual path. But the polling of the virtual circuit in this virtual path
states that it is available.
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, 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 about 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 OC3 port adapter, each of the 4 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 1-3, port 4, if problem is seen on ports
5-7, port 8, if problem is seen on ports 9-11, and port 12, if problem is seen on ports 14-15. 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
A peer switch might not learn an IP address through ILMI-status.
Symptom: An IP address might not be learned by peer switch when using ILMI-status.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCdt18467
Symptom: Port stuck messages might not log into the system log.
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: When the IP address is reconfigured to a subinterface of a main interface, you then
need to delete and reconfigure the ARP address.
•
CSCdt15978
Telnet might be slow.
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 ATM
router module. Frame interfaces or non-LANE interfaces on ATM router module with configured
PVCs should pass traffic without any problems. It doesn't matter if the traffic is going to route
processor or not, part of the traffic is lost.
Workaround: The switch router will recover 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 shutdown:
../src-4k-ls1010/mmc_dvr.c 2428 PORT DIED: 0/0/0, taking off line
Workaround: None.
•
CSCds85282
Symptom: In the Cisco IOS release image ls1010-wp-mz.120-13.W5.19, the LS1010 power on
diagnostic test causes the IOS not to boot while the ATM router module and Fast Ethernet modules
are installed.
Workaround: Upgrade to Cisco IOS release image version ls1010-wp-mz.120-13.W5.19a.
•
CSCds40925
Symptom: When entering the show atm interface traffic command on an ATM subinterface, the
total number of cells that has passed might show as zero. This rate is incorrect.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCdr43326
Symptom: The atmVcCrossConnectAdminStatus entries might disappear.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCdr28797
Symptom: HVPT: Incorrect scheduling values installed for low PCR. When a HVPT with a PCR of
2 kbps is configured on a OC-3 interface, this results in the cell starving of WKVC on the main
interface.
Workaround: None.
Resolved Caveats—Cisco IOS Release 12.1(5)EY1
Cisco IOS Release 12.1(5a)EY1 is a new build of a Cisco IOS Release. The caveats in this section are

Symptom: HSRP cannot be configured on Cisco IOS Release 12.1(5)EY1 image on the
Catalyst 8510 MSR platform.
Workaround: None.
•
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 shutdown 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 card, 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
a 1483 PVC. This happens for cells being transmitted over the 1483 PVC only.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCdt01582
Symptom: On Cisco IOS Release 12.0(10)W5(18b), when the module with c8510-ACL is in the
Catalyst 5500 chassis, the show hardware command does not show the ACL daughter card.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCds81263
Symptom: The IP CEF adjacencies are reported as invalid when using the ATM router module
configured with LANE clients on the Catalyst 8510 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 will be sent to the route
processor for processing.
The CEF adjacency will be 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 will be reported as valid.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCds69507
Symptom: If the HSRP has been configured on a Catalyst 8500 running an Cisco IOS Release
12.0(10)W5(18c), and the ATM router module is removed and then reinserted, the HSRP
configuration is lost.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCds57646
Symptom: When a ping command is entered from one member of a BVI to the outside, it causes
some pings between members of the BVI to timeout.
Workaround: None.

Interoperability
•
CSCdr79972
Symptom: The ATM router module always signals a fixed value for the PCR if LANE is configured
on the ATM router module. The hidden CLI will give a way to signal the user-configured PCR. This
will 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 card quickly. The
show epc ip-address command was issued on the adjacency, it was found that the entry for the host
on vlan2 was still there and took some time to clear. As soon as it did clear, the ping command works
again.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCdr36952
Symptom: The switch router will crash and hang 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 which 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 via access lists
or other firewall methods. For further information, refer to the security advisory available at
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/advisory.html.
•
CSCdr35301
Symptom: ifOutOctets wrapping at 3000000 on an ATM interface.
Workaround: None.
•
CSCdr16095
Symptom: On rare occasions the switch fails SVC set ups even when physical connectivity is
established.
Workaround: Reload the switch.
•
CSCdk56557
Symptom: Spurious memory access on show ip route command when SONICT interface is
shutdown.
If you shutdown a 10-Mbps port and then use the show ip route command, spurious memory access
appears in the print_route_preamble():
Workaround: None.
Interoperability
Starting with Cisco IOS Release 12.0(10)W5(18b) software release, hardware and software functionality

TAC Case Priority Definitions
To ensure that all cases are reported in a standard format, Cisco has established case priority definitions.
Priority 1 (P1)—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.
Priority 2 (P2)—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.
Priority 3 (P3)—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.
Priority 4 (P4)—You require information or assistance with Cisco product capabilities, installation, or
configuration. There is little or no effect on your business operations.
