Open Caveats
•
The device manager uses the HTTP protocol (the default is port 80) and the default method of
authentication (the enable password) to communicate with the switch through any of its Ethernet
ports and to allow switch management from a standard web browser.
authentication (the enable password) to communicate with the switch through any of its Ethernet
ports and to allow switch management from a standard web browser.
If you change the HTTP port, you must include the new port number when you enter the IP address
in the browser Location or Address field (for example, http://10.1.126.45:184 where 184 is the new
HTTP port number). You should write down the port number through which you are connected. Use
care when changing the switch IP information.

If you are not using the default method of authentication (the enable password), you need to
configure the HTTP server interface with the method of authentication used on the switch.

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure the HTTP server interface:
•
If you use Internet Explorer Version 5.5 and select a URL with a nonstandard port at the end of the
address (for example, www.cisco.com:84), you must enter http:// as the URL prefix. Otherwise, you
cannot launch the device manager.

This section describes the open caveats with possible unexpected activity in this software release. Unless
otherwise noted, these severity 3 Cisco IOS configuration caveats apply to the Catalyst 3750, 3560,
2970, and 2960 switches and to Cisco EtherSwitch service modules:

Phone detection events that are generated by many IEEE phones connected to the switch ports can
consume a significant amount of CPU time if the switch ports cannot power the phones because the
internal link is down.

internal link is down.
The workaround is to enter the power inline never interface configuration command on all the Fast
Ethernet ports that are not powered by but are connected to IP phones if the problem persists.
