HP Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3020 Release Notes for the Cisco Catalyst Blade - Page 8

Limitations and Restrictions Ethernet - 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). - When an IP address is configured on VLAN 1 before the dynamic address lease assigned to 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. 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 The workaround is to enter the no switchport block unicast interface configuration command on 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. (CSCef59331) • 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. 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) • 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. If this happens, traffic distribution is uneven on EtherChannel ports. Changing the load balance distribution method or changing the number of ports in the EtherChannel can resolve this problem. Use any of these workarounds to improve EtherChannel load balancing: - for random source-ip and dest-ip traffic, configure load balance method as src-dst-ip - for incrementing source-ip traffic, configure load balance method as src-ip - for incrementing dest-ip traffic, configure load balance method as dst-ip - Configure the number of ports in the EtherChannel so that the number is equal to a power of 2 (for example, 2, 4, or 8) For example, with load balance configured as dst-ip with 150 distinct incrementing destination IP addresses, and the number of ports in the EtherChannel set to either 2, 4, or 8, load distribution is optimal.
