The FWSM processes virtual Telnet connections after you remove the virtual telnet command. You 
need to reload the FWSM after you remove the virtual telnet command to avoid the following 
situation.
After you remove the virtual telnet command, the FWSM processes virtual Telnet connections as 
through the box connections and thinks there is a host on the inside with the virtual IP address. 
Because AAA is configured for through the box connections, a uauth is created. Once a uauth is 
created, the connection is forwarded to the specific IP address. Because no hosts are available at this 
IP address, the connection is closed. However, the uauth remains and all connections through the 
box go through until the uauth times out. You cannot clear a uauth if the FWSM sees an invalid host. 
It needs to be done via an access-list to check the connections going through the box. (CSCsl08082)
Do not configure both the timeout uauth 0 command and the aaa authentication clear-conn 
command; if you do so, you cannot open any connections through the FWSM because the 
connection immediately closes when AAA succeeds. This happens every time you try to open a 
connection (because the FWSM is not caching uauth entries).
During URL filtering at high rates, the HTTP connection to the server through the FWSM might not 
complete correctly in some scenarios with the TCP normalizer enabled and URL filtering enabled. 
To solve this issue, enter the url-block block 16 command in multiple mode or the url-block block 
128
 command in single mode. (CSCsj00658)
Open Caveats
This section contains open caveats in the latest maintenance release.
If you are running an older release, and you need to determine the open caveats for your release, then 
add the caveats in this section to the resolved caveats from later releases. For example, if you are running 
Release 3.2(4), then you need to add the caveats in this section to the resolved caveats from 3.2(5) and 
later to determine the complete list of open caveats.

The show mroute output is missing interfaces in the OIF list after it switches to the shortest path 
tree (s,g). The show mfib output shows this correctly.
Workaround: None.
CSCsi03512 
You cannot ping across the FWSM after entering the [nofabric sw-mode force bus command on 
the switch. This happens when switching mode is toggled on a Catalyst 6500 with supervisor 720 
from Truncated mode to Bus mode and back to Truncated mode.
Workaround: Reload the Catalyst 6500 switch. 
CSCsj04940 
When configuring the nameif command in single transparent mode, portmap_index: unable to 
locate fixup message. Message is seen only in Transparent mode.
