Cisco Cisco Network Assistant Version 4.0 Release Notes

You should review this section before you begin working with the device. These are known limitations 
that will not be fixed, and there is not always a workaround. Some features might not work as 
documented, and some features could be affected by recent changes to the device hardware or software.

These sections describe the limitations and restrictions:

These limitations apply only to the Catalyst 4500 series switches:

By default, clustering is disabled on the Catalyst 4500 series switches.

You must assign an IP address to the Catalyst 4500 series switch if it is a cluster command switch 
candidate. If the switch is a cluster member candidate, you might not need to assign an IP address.

By default, the HTTP server is disabled on the Catalyst 4500 series switch. To connect the switch 
to Network Assistant, you must enable the HTTP server on all cluster members.

The HTTP port number on Network Assistant and the Catalyst 4500 series switch must match.

A Catalyst 4500 switch can be a cluster member only if another Catalyst 4500 switch is the 
command device. 

By default, the Catalyst 4500 series switch is configured with five vty lines. If the switch (such as a 
cluster command device with multiple cluster members) is connected to Network Assistant, you 
must configure at least eight + x vty lines, where x is the number of vty lines used by other 
applications. A maximum of 16 vty lines can be configured.

Create a switch virtual interface (SVI) to use for intracluster communication. The SVI must be in 
the no shut state.
