The workaround is, before you downgrade to the 4.0(0)N1(2a) release, remove rules from the roles configuration to limit the configuration so it does not exceed the previously mentioned numbers. • After an upgrade or downgrade, if the show startup security command is issued before performing copy running-config startup-config, the security process could crash.

Release 4.0(1a)N1(1a) Upgrade and Downgrade Issues
If the startup-config has an RBAC role configured with more than 35 rules, then after a downgrade
to the 4.0(0)N1(2a) release, the
show running-config
command causes the vshd process to core
dump. This is due to a caveat (CSCsy37432). The workaround is to remove rules from the roles
configuration in a way that a role does not have more than 35 rules before downgrading to the
4.0(0)N1(2a) release.
If the startup-config has an RBAC role configured with more than 20 roles with 20 rules each, then
after a downgrade to the 4.0(0)N1(2a) release,
show running-config
will make the roles feature
work incorrectly. This is due to caveat CSCsy53275. The workaround is, before you downgrade to
the 4.0(0)N1(2a) release, remove rules from the roles configuration to limit the configuration so it
does not exceed the previously mentioned numbers.
After an upgrade or downgrade, if the
show startup security
command is issued before performing
copy running-config startup-config
, the security process could crash. This is due to caveat
CSCsy09062. You can avoid a core dump by issuing a
copy running-config startup-config
command after an upgrade or downgrade and before issuing the
show startup <feature>
command.
After an upgrade or downgrade, when the system comes up users are assigned a default role of
network-operator. This is due to caveat CSCsy08516. To avoid the problem, reload the switch after
an upgrade or a downgrade and after the system comes up. You can then perform a
copy
running-config startup-config
to save the correct configuration.
