Release Notes for Cisco IOS Release 12.1E on the Catalyst 6500 and Cisco 7600 Supervisor Engine and MSFC
OL-2310-11
Caveats
• SSH sessions might fail due to a bad packet length error when you open an SSH session from a 
Solaris or MacOSX client. The following message might appear:
Disconnecting: Bad packet length -625118183.
This problem is resolved in Release 12.1(26)E5. (CSCef33784)
• An autonomous system boundary router (ASBR) that is running open shortest path first (OSPF) and 
is configured with the area area_id nssa default-information-originate command, might continue 
to advertise a default route in a not-so-stubby area (NSSA) even after the default Border Gateway 
Protocol (BGP) route has been withdrawn and removed from the routing table. This problem is 
resolved in Release 12.1(26)E5. (CSCsc03828)
• Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) neighbors might reset unnecessarily on an 
interface that is configured with summarization. The summary on the interface regenerates when all 
components of the summary are lost and at least one component is relearned. When this problem 
occurs, the following message displayes:
%DUAL-5-NBRCHANGE: IP-EIGRP 111: Neighbor x.x.x.x (FastEthernet4/0) is down: Summary 
up, remove external
This problem is resolved in Release 12.1(26)E5. (CSCsc83334)
• While traffic is routed, a spurious access might occur if you repetitively reconfigure a service policy. 
This problem is resolved in Release 12.1(26)E5. (CSCej45192)
• Cisco Campus Manager user tracking might not display some neighbor hosts. This problem might 
occur when the router port has dynamically learned entries. This problem is resolved in 
Release 12.1(26)E5. (CSCsb97997)
• When the SNMP ifOperStatus MIB object for an interface that is a member of a multilink group is 
placed in the down state, the ifStackStatus entry that links the interface to the multilink group 
interface is removed from the IF-MIB. This problem is resolved in Release 12.1(26)E5. 
(CSCeh62084)
• The chassisFanStatus displays as a “minorFault” when you install a WS-C6509-NEB-A fan tray 
with one operational fan. This problem is resolved in Release 12.1(26)E5. (CSCsc28731)
• If you enter the show power command when a WS-F6K-PWR power module is installed in slot 8 
or slot 9, the command displays “Unknown.” This problem does not affect operation. This problem 
is resolved in Release 12.1(26)E5. (CSCsb81734)
• Port-channel bundling fails during a switchover because of a difference in the trust values for the 
port channel and the members. The problem occurs when the following events occur in this order:
–
You have not enabled MLS QoS.
–
You created the port channel and applied the members.
–
You enabled MLS QoS.
–
You performed a switchover.
This problem is resolved in Release 12.1(26)E5. (CSCdz90630)
• A Layer 3 VLAN interface might remain in the up/up state with no active corresponding Layer 2 
interfaces. This problem occurs from the following sequence of events:
–
The Layer 3 VLAN interface is administratively shut down.
–
 All of the corresponding Layer 2 ports become inactive, either because of disconnection or an 
administrative shut down.
