Release Notes for the Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3040 for FSC, Cisco IOS Release 15.0(2)SE and Later
OL-27332-02
Limitations and Restrictions
Configuration
•
A static IP address might be removed when the previously acquired DHCP IP address lease expires.
This problem occurs under these conditions:
–
When the switch is booted without a configuration (no config.text file in flash memory).
–
When the switch is connected to a DHCP server that is configured to give an address to it (the
dynamic IP address is assigned to VLAN 1).
dynamic IP address is assigned to VLAN 1).
–
When an IP address is configured on VLAN 1 before the dynamic address lease assigned to
VLAN 1 expires.
VLAN 1 expires.
The workaround is to reconfigure the static IP address. (CSCea71176 and CSCdz11708)
•
When connected to some third-party devices that send early preambles, a switch port operating at
100 Mp/s full duplex or 100 Mp/s half duplex might bounce the line protocol up and down. The
problem is observed only when the switch is receiving frames.
100 Mp/s full duplex or 100 Mp/s half duplex might bounce the line protocol up and down. The
problem is observed only when the switch is receiving frames.
The workaround is to configure the port for 10 Mp/s and half duplex or to connect a hub or a
nonaffected device to the switch. (CSCed39091)

When port security is enabled on an interface in restricted mode and the switchport block unicast
interface command has been entered on that interface, MAC addresses are incorrectly forwarded
when they should be blocked
interface command has been entered on that interface, MAC addresses are incorrectly forwarded
when they should be blocked
The workaround is to enter the no switchport block unicast interface configuration command on
that specific interface. (CSCee93822)
that specific interface. (CSCee93822)
•
A traceback error occurs if a crypto key is generated after an SSL client session.
There is no workaround. This is a cosmetic error and does not affect the functionality of the switch.

•
When you enter the boot host retry timeout global configuration command to specify the amount
of time that the client should keep trying to download the configuration and you do not enter a
timeout value, the default value is zero, which should mean that the client keeps trying indefinitely.
However, the client does not keep trying to download the configuration.
of time that the client should keep trying to download the configuration and you do not enter a
timeout value, the default value is zero, which should mean that the client keeps trying indefinitely.
However, the client does not keep trying to download the configuration.
The workaround is to always enter a non zero value for the timeout value when you enter the boot
host retry timeout timeout-value command. (CSCsk65142)
host retry timeout timeout-value command. (CSCsk65142)
Dynamic ARP Inspection
•
When dynamic ARP inspection is configured on a VLAN, and the ARP traffic on a port in the VLAN
is within the configured rate limit, the port might go into an error-disabled state. (CSCse06827)
is within the configured rate limit, the port might go into an error-disabled state. (CSCse06827)
Ethernet
•
Traffic on EtherChannel ports is not perfectly load-balanced. Egress traffic on EtherChannel ports
are distributed to member ports on load balance configuration and traffic characteristics like MAC
or IP address. More than one traffic stream might map to same member ports, based on hashing
results calculated by the ASIC.

or IP address. More than one traffic stream might map to same member ports, based on hashing
results calculated by the ASIC.
If this happens, traffic distribution is uneven on EtherChannel ports.
