Release Notes for the Cisco Systems Intelligent Gigabit Ethernet Switch Modules for the IBM BladeCenter

Limitations and Restrictions
When the switch restarts, the VLAN 1 interface is placed in the administrative down (shutdown
state even though VLAN 1 is configured as administrative up (no shutdown).
These are workarounds:
Place the VLAN 1 interface in the administrative up state by using the no shutdown interface 
command after the switch restarts.
Designate the VLAN 1 interface as the primary management VLAN by using the management 
interface configuration command.
Do not use the VLAN 1 interface for managing the switch.(CSCsc78651)
This switch does not support the following IOS commands:
aaa authentication feature default enable (CSCse26670)
aaa authentication feature default line (CSCse26670)
file verify auto (CSCse43963)
Certain combinations of features create conflicts with the port security feature. In 
No means 
that port security cannot be enabled on a port if the referenced feature is also running on the same 
port. Yes means that both port security and the referenced feature can be enabled on the same port 
at the same time.
Device Manager Limitations and Restrictions
These are the device manager limitations and restrictions:
Clustering is not supported in releases later than Cisco IOS 12.1(14)AY4.
When you are prompted to accept the security certificate and you click No, you see only a blank 
screen, and the device manager does not start. 
The workaround is to click Yes when you are prompted to accept the certificate. (CSCef45718)
In the device manager express setup page, Telnet access is shown as disabled. Telnet access is 
enabled on the device by configuring the username and then login local on the vty lines.
The workaround is to use the CLI to check for Telnet status or to configure passwords on vty lines 
to enable Telnet access. (CSCeh28776)
