Re-Factoring of Campus Manager Server Process

The Campus Manager server has been refactored to improve the performance and scalability of the application.

Before Campus Manager 4.0, the Campus Manager server process was a single process to perform Device Discovery, user tracking, servicing query and configuration from clients.

To improve the server performance and to handle larger networks, Campus Manager server process has been separated into transient processes for device discovery and User Tracking Major Acquisition.

Campus Manager 4.0.3 contains:

Campus Manager server process as a daemon

Transient Device Discovery process

Transient User Tracking Major acquisition process

Data collection, query and configuration services continue to be performed in the Campus Manager server process.

Improved Network Discovery

With Campus Manager 4.0.3, you can:

Provide seed devices.

Set the SNMP credentials.

Run device discovery.

Device Discovery process discovers devices and updates the Device Credential Repository (DCR) with the credentials of the devices.


Note Campus Manager cannot manage the devices until you run the Data collection process.


Improved Data Collection

You can choose devices to be managed by Campus Manager from the devices in DCR, or through data collection filters (IP subnets or VTP domains).

Support for SNMPv3

Campus Manager discovers devices configured with SNMPv3 credentials.

Support for IPv6

Campus Manager can discover IPv6, manage IPv4, and dual stack IPv6 devices.

Support for VLAN and VTP

With Campus Manager 4.0.3, you can:

Create a primary VLAN, secondary VLANs of different types and associate them to the primary VLAN, assign or move ports to secondary VLANs, and configure Promiscuous ports.

Verify the VTPv2 or VTPv3 related information for the devices in your network that are managed by Campus Manager.

Apply VTP server filter, transparent filter, or client filter for VTPv2 or VTPv3 domains in Topology Maps.

Support for Spanning Tree Protocols

Campus Manager 4.0.3 provides support for Spanning Tree Protocol. Along with support for different types of Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)—PVST, PVST+, MST, MISTP, it allows you to:

View STP parameters for each switch-cloud, VLAN or instance, or for each port.

Configure STP parameters on a each port and each device.

View and change the instance-to-VLAN mapping (for MST and MISTP).

Configure preferred VLANs on trunk ports.

Find the recommended optimal root for a switch cloud and highlights the computed Optimal Root (switch) on topology map.

Find the recommendation for setting up the number of STP instances on a switch cloud. Highlights the recommended instances on the Map.

Find the recommendation for reduction of number of STP instances.

Highlight the instance to which the other instances can be merged.

Map a new VLAN to recommended instance.

Highlight the instance on the Map.

Change certain STP parameters and view the result prior to applying the changes in the network.

Support for Configuration of Ether Channel and
Inter-VLAN Routing

Campus Manager 4.0.3 provides the following support for EtherChannels:

Configuring multiple links between switches as EtherChannel.

Configuring EtherChannel load balancing parameters.

Support for Trunking

Campus Manager 4.0.3 supports the following trunking features:

Configuring a link between two switches as a trunk.

Configuring the allowed and disallowed VLANs on a trunk.

Support for TDR

Campus Manager 4.0.3 provides support for Cable Diagnostic Test using Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR).

HTML Based User Interface

Campus Manager 4.0.3 has a non-Java based user interface for User Tracking application and Campus Manager Administration.

Integration with Common Services 3.0.3 Components

Campus Manager 4.0.3 integrates with Common Services 3.0.3 modules like OGS, UII, Security and ACS, DCR, PSU, and CiscoWorks Homepage.

General Notes and Known Problems

Note the following:

Your browser must be properly configured. If it is not properly configured, Campus Manager might not work correctly. For more details, see the Installation and Setup Guide for Campus Manager 4.0.3 .

Campus Manager requires a DNS server to function properly. Many commands operate erratically or not at all, if there is no DNS server on the network.

You cannot run Campus Manager from a browser invoked from an X-Window System since this is not supported. Install a browser on the client from which you wish to connect.

You can upgrade your operating system (OS) either before or after you upgrade Campus Manager. However, if you upgrade the OS after upgrading Campus Manager, you will not receive any OS-related patch warnings or service pack-related warnings.

Verify that the latest version of all required OS patches, service packs, and third-party device drivers are installed before proceeding with an OS upgrade.

Visio caveats:

Do not export an entire topology map to Visio. Instead, select and export particular devices or a segment of the network.

After selecting Export to Visio, you must enter a filename in the Export to Visio dialog box for the file that Visio will generate.

Before opening a topology map exported to Visio, you must download the cm_cisco.vss file and place it in the Visio/Solutions directory.

General Known Problems

The table below lists the known problems that are not specific to any module in Campus Manager.

Table 3 General Known Problems 

Bug ID
Summary
Explanation

CSCsc49501

VeriSign security certificate displays expiry warning message.

The VeriSign security certificate expires in June 2006. After that date, Campus Manager will display the Certificate expiry message whenever you launch applet based pages.

However, all modules in Campus Manager will continue to work.

Workaround:

Ignore the message.

CSCsb86066

Topology and Path Analysis do not launch when NAT or firewall are configured.

If Campus Manager is installed in a server with NAT or firewall, Topology and Path Analysis do not launch. The following message appears:

Cant connect to ANI Sever

Workaround:

If you enable the ports supported by Common Services, Topology and Path Analysis work in a firewall setup.

For details on these ports, see Installation and Setup Guide for CiscoWorks Common Services 3.0.3 (Includes CiscoView) on Solaris.

CSCsc24255

Improper error message while configuring IVR.

This problem occurs in the following scenario:

If you do not give proper SNMP or Telnet credentials for a device in DCR, RME does not fetch Config details from that device.

When you try to configure IVR for that device in Campus Manager, the following error message appears:

Failed in export/Import config.

Workaround:

Enter proper SNMP and Telnet credentials for the device in DCR.

CSCsb28190

Campus Manager applications do not start in ACS mode.

Topology Services, Path Analysis, VLAN Port Assignment, and Discrepancy Report tasks fail to start when you login to CiscoWorks in ACS mode.

This problem occurs if you select Assign a Ciscoworks on a per Network Device Group Basis option in ACS server, but in the selected device group, you do not add the CiscoWorks server IP address.

Workaround:

When you assign a user to a specific group, ensure that you add the CiscoWorks Server IP address to that device group.

CSCsa80727

Sometimes, launching of Campus Manager UIs fails.

Campus Manager UIs fail to open when the daemon manager is not restarted for a long period of time.

Workaround:

1. Stop the daemon manager.

2. Wait for 10 minutes and start the daemon manager.

Campus Manager UIs now open properly.

CSCsa44629

Campus Manager does not restore Topology Map settings after taking back up and restore in another machine, that has Campus Manager 4.0.

Campus Manager does not save the changes to layout style and background colors in Topology Map settings, that were backed up in another machine.

This occurs when you:

1. Modify Topology Map settings in a machine with Campus Manager 3.3.

1. Back up and restore the files in another machine, which has Campus Manager 4.0.

2. Run Data Collection.

3. Start Topology Services.

Workaround:

1. Run NMSROOT/campus/conf/upgrade/cm/topo/
2cm31maplayout.pl
on the machine with Campus Manager 3.3 to generate the map files.

2. Copy the map files to the location on the target system, where you have restored the data: NMSROOT/campus/etc/users/username/

3. Upgrade Topology Map by selecting
File > Upgrade View Layouts from Topology Services.

CSCsa22708

Campus Manager does not manage existing devices when upgrading from higher device limit to lower device limit.

This problem occurs because Campus Manager performs a fresh discovery of the network to obtain the devices and does not import them from the earlier versions.

Workaround:

None.

CSCin43133

Install may fail because of improper mount of CD-ROM.

Using Volume Management, vold mounts the CD-ROM as /cdrom/cdrom0. cdrom0 is a link to volume label of the CD-ROM.

For example cm4.0.

In normal circumstances, the link gets cleared after the CD-ROM is ejected. However, if the link is not cleared, when you mount another CD-ROM, it is mounted as /cdrom/cdrom0, This is then linked to cm4.0#1.

This # character causes problem during installation.

To verify if the directory name has a # character appended to its name, navigate to the /cdrom/cdrom0 directory, and check the present working directory using pwd command.

Workaround:

1. Eject the CD-ROM.

2. Stop the vold:

/etc/volmgt stop

3. Start the vold:

/etc/volmgt start

4. Delete the contents of /cdrom0 directory.

The CD-ROM should now mount normally.

CSCin23883

Jobs created in Path Analysis or User Tracking appear in the Job Management page even after uninstalling Campus Manager.

If you have scheduled Path Analysis or User Tracking jobs and then uninstall Campus Manager, the jobs are not deleted from the CiscoWorks Job Management page.

Workaround;

Delete the Path Analysis or User Tracking jobs from the Job Management page.

CSCdu51651

You cannot select the first template from the drop-down box, when you create SPVC/SPVP/Advanced parameters.

Under ATM if you create SPVC/SPVP/Advanced parameters, you cannot select the first template from the drop-down box. This is because the traffic parameter fields are not populated.

Workarounds:

1. Go to Select/Edit and select the template.

2. Click OK.

Or

1. Select the second template

2. Select the first template.

CSCdt55303

Starting Campus Manager application with the Print dialog box open in another Campus Manager application results in an error.

This problem occurs if you:

1. Select Print from active Campus Manager application.

2. Start another Campus Manager application, with the Print dialog box open.

The new application window does not respond to user input.

Workaround:

Close the Print dialog box and restart the application.

CSCdt42318

Cannot copy and paste IP addresses from Topology Services to Path Analysis when you use keyboard shortcuts.

This problem occurs if you:

Enter Ctrl-C to copy address after selecting an IP address in Topology Services,

Or

Enter Ctrl-V with the cursor active in the From field in Path Analysis.

In both cases the following is pasted in instead of the IP address:

java.lang.nullPointerException

Ctrl-X, Ctrl-C, and Ctrl-V (keyboard shortcuts for cut, copy, and paste commands) are not supported by summary tables in the Topology Services main window or most tables that are displayed by Campus Manager applications.

Also, in applications that support the copying of table cells by selecting Edit > Copy, a carriage return is added to the end of the last cell copied.

Workaround:

None.

CSCdt22462

Download of Java applets on Windows 2000 machines may take longer than expected if virus checker application is enabled.

On some Windows systems, the initial download of large Java applets (or subsequent downloads of the same applets that are not cached locally) might take longer than expected (up to six minutes in some instances).

After the applet has been loaded and cached locally, the problem no longer occurs.

The delay is caused by client side filtering mechanisms such as virus scanning. Some virus scanners are configured to automatically scan content downloaded by browsers. Scanning consumes a lot of memory and results in disk paging on most systems.

Hence, downloading is significantly slower than expected. The effect is less on systems with large amounts of RAM and virtual memory.

Workaround:

Disable the automatic scanning of all downloaded files, and instead enable the scanning of program files only (specified by file extension).

Exact instructions vary depending on the virus scanner installed on your system.

CSCds88388

Cannot launch CiscoView on an IGX series device.

This occurs if you:

1. Launch Topology Services.

2. Open LAN Edge view.

3. Right-click on IGX series device and select CiscoView from the Context menu.

A dialog box appears.

4. Enter appropriate community strings, and CiscoView attempts to launch.

An error message appears.

Workaround:

Launch CiscoView on IGX series devices via Cisco WAN Manager.

CSCdm88520

Minimized windows are not visible when you select them from a Window menu.

If a window is minimized, you cannot make it visible by selecting it from a Window menu.

Workaround:

Double-click the icon of the window on the taskbar.

CSCdm8320

Campus Manager applications do not work when you access CiscoWorks using http://localhost:1741

If you access CiscoWorks applications using http://localhost:1741 from a browser on the same machine that CiscoWorks server is installed on, Campus Manager suite of applications will not work.

Workaround:

Use full DNS name or IP address of server, even when accessing it locally.

CSCdm77812

In Path Analysis, Tools > Path Trace displays an error,
null pointer exception on Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 with the URL of a local host.

If your system has a non-blank CLASSPATH environment variable, your browser might behave unpredictably.

Workaround:

Reset the CLASSPATH variable non-globally:

Solaris— Reset the CLASSPATH variable from the terminal window from where you launch the browser.

Windows—Reset the CLASSPATH variable in MS-DOS prompt window and launch the browser from the prompt.


Browser Known Problems

The table below lists the browser related known problems existing in Campus Manager.

CSCin39472

Problems with Campus Manager applications after logout.

When you logout from CiscoWorks, Campus Manager applications will continue to function. However, the following functions will not be available:

Launching Help.

Tasks in Campus Manager which require user action between applications. For example, highlighting a device in Topology Services using Path Analysis.

Workaround:

1. Close all Campus Manager applications.

2. Login into CiscoWorks.

3. Launch Campus Manager applications.

CSCdt11838

You are not prompted to install the Java plug-in when launching an application that utilizes the plug-in for the first time.

If RealJukebox Plug-in for Navigator is already installed on a Windows client before the first launch of application utilizing Java Plug-in, you are not prompted to install Java Plug-in.

Workaround:

Uninstall RealJukebox Plug-in. Another option is to rename nprjplug.dll file in Navigator Plug-ins directory with new extension. For example, nprjplug.dll.bak.

After Java Plug-in is installed, you can reactivate RealJukebox Plug-in by changing the renamed file back to nprjplug.dll.

CSCdp43999

Maps and configuration dialogs display offset menus and list boxes in Netscape on a Solaris client.

Sometimes, when you launch a map or a configuration dialog box, menus or list boxes are not displayed below the menu. This offset occurs in Navigator on a Solaris client.

Workaround:

Move or resize window.


Path Analysis Known Problems

The table below lists the Path Analysis related known problems existing in Campus Manager.

Table 5 Path Analysis Known Problems 

Bug ID
Summary
Explanation

CSCsa47939

You cannot start CiscoView from Path Analysis, on SSL server.

You cannot start CiscoView from Path Analysis because of an incorrect URL:

https://CiscoWorksServer:-1/CVng/
chassis.do?deviceip=10.77.209.53

Workaround:

Replace -1 with 443 in the URL, thus correcting the URL to:

https://CiscoWorksServer:443/CVng/
chassis.do?deviceip=10.77.209.53

CSCsa22380

Layer 2 Path Trace is not seen between IPv6 End host as source and its first hop IPv6 router.

In Path Analysis, when you run a Path Trace using IPv6 address of the End host and some other IPv6 destination (say router), Layer 3 Trace is observed.

However, Layer 2 Trace (switches if any) between End host and First hop router is not shown in Path Trace.

Workaround:

None.

CSCin37960

VLAN-to-Subnet mapping information is not available for Phone Traces.

Path Analysis does not provide VLAN-to-Subnet mapping information, when you run Path Trace between two IP phones.

Workaround:

None.

CSCin37938

Interface Type displays Unknown for phones in Path Analysis Table.

This problem occurs when you run Path Traces between IP Phones or between a device and IP Phone.

Workaround:

None.

CSCin36082

Additional hop appears when you perform a trace using HSRP virtual IP address.

An additional hop appears if you perform a trace by providing an HSRP virtual IP address as the source or destination in the path trace.

Workaround:

None.

CSCin35773

Map displays self loop when routing loop occurs.

Occasionally, when the potential first hop learnt by Path Analysis is not discovered successfully by Campus Manager, the map displays a self loop.

Workaround:

None.

CSCin30899

Path Analysis does not work when LSR Traceroute is disabled.

If you disable source route on routers, Path Analysis might not display the route occasionally.

Workaround:

None.

CSCin28223

CORBA related error message is logged into the log file during path trace.

Occasionally, during path trace, a CORBA related error message is logged into the ani.log file.

Workaround:

Close the client browser window and relaunch Path Analysis.

CSCin00624

Path trace involving HSRP router results in an empty If Index entry in the Path Analysis table.

The problem occurs when you run a Path trace which includes the IP address of an HSRP router in the From field of a path trace.

Workaround:

None.

CSCdw15555

Voice trace does not get Cisco CallManager cluster information if Cisco CallManager HTTPD shuts down.

Path Analysis Voice Trace needs to query Call Managers known to ANI to check what the cluster membership is.

This is done through a HTTP query.

As a security precaution, you might disable the Web Server on all cluster members except one. This is because Cisco CallManagers use IIS, and can be badly damaged by viruses such as Code Red and NIMDA.

However, if cluster members have Web Server shut off, Path Analysis cannot obtain information on cluster membership and cannot retrieve CDRs.

Workaround:

Turn the Web Server on the Cisco CallManager back on.

CSCdw03410

Path Voice Trace does not consider transcoding points.

Current Campus Manager Path Analysis Voice Trace is valid only in the case where the two endpoints are IP Phones registered with the same Cisco CallManager cluster.

For other cases (involving transcoding), Path does not get correct path information.

Examples:

Phone call from IP phone to POTS phone off H.323 gateway (e.g. 3640)

Phone call from one Cisco CallManager cluster to another.

In such a case the path would be:

a. From phone 1 to Cisco CallManager 1

b. From Cisco CallManager 1 to Cisco CallManager 2 through H.323 inter-cluster trunk

c. From Cisco CallManager 2 to phone 2

Phone call to gateway (PSTN, analog, etc.)

Phone call to other servers (voicemail, conference, etc.)

This is a very complex issue, and most likely will require new instrumentation from telephony servers, etc.

Workaround:

None.

CSCdt42600

To and From fields may not function properly after selecting Print in Path Analysis.

This problem is caused by Java Virtual Machine bug. After you select Print in Path Analysis, the To and From fields may not accept mouse focus, or focus may appear in both fields, simultaneously.

Workaround:

Resize Java console window. If the problem persists, close the Path Analysis window and open another window.

CSCdt42404

Trace tab displays GMT as time zone, although server is set to local time zone.

A number of Java bugs involve incorrect interpretation of time zones. Usually, the correct time zone appears if you set the local time zone to the appropriate three-letter abbreviation. For example, PST for Pacific Standard Time.

This problem is observed on Solaris clients with TZ environment variable set to American/Tijuana.

Workaround:

If the TZ environment variable is instead set to PST8PDT, Java interprets local time zone correctly.

CSCdt23712

Path Analysis displays the Elvis module of Cisco Catalyst 6000 devices as unknown.

Since Path Analysis depends on ANI for its tracing capabilities, if a device-related discovery problem occurs in ANI, it results in an unsuccessful trace.

Workaround:

None.

CSCdt04978

Highlighted path trace in Topology Services map may be difficult to view.

It may be difficult to view highlighted path trace in Topology Services map, especially if you select the Fit to Window view.

Workaround:

Zoom into Topology Services Map view by selecting
Select All Highlighted Objects > Zoom to Selected.

CSCds79693

Voice trace query results always appear using local time zone.

Local time zone always appears in voice trace query results, even if you select GMT time zone when specifying call start time.

Workaround:

None.

CSCds77461

Call Detail Records (CDR) query results are sometimes displayed after pressing Cancel.

Multiple threads are launched to query every Cisco CallManager for information specified in your CDR query.

Since all query activities can take a second or two to cancel, query results sometimes continue to appear even after you press Cancel.

Workaround:

None.

CSCds77438

Path Analysis Map tab does not refresh properly.

This problem mainly occurs when running both the client and the server on the same machine. It occurs after running a large number of Path traces on client browser.

Workaround:

Close browser and relaunch Campus Manager.

We recommend that you run the client and server on different machines.

Although this does not prevent this problem, it reduces its frequency because you need to run a large number of traces before the problem occurs.


User Tracking Known Problems

Information displayed in a row might not reflect the most current network state. This is because User Tracking discovery takes information from routers and switches.

Since these switches collect their information at different times, the information in a row reflects the state of the network or subnet at the time displayed in the Last Seen field.

The table below lists other User Tracking related known problems existing in Campus Manager.

Table 6 User Tracking Known Problems 

Bug ID
Summary
Explanation

CSCsb17074

User Tracking does not discover hosts connected to devices with SNMPv3 credentials.

When you manage the devices Cisco Catalyst 3750 and Cisco Catalyst 4000 with SNMPv3 Credentials in Campus Manager, and if there are end hosts connected to these devices, the end hosts are not discovered and shown by User Tracking.

Workaround:

None.

CSCsc71238

Purging of User Tracking archives and jobs fails.

When you purge User Tracking archives and jobs, it fails and the window aborts.

Workaround:

1. Go to Admin > Report > User Tracking > Purge Policy page.

2. Save the settings.

This removes all the archived reports and executed jobs that meet the criteria specified in the settings.

CSCsc24107

Custom Reports filtering does not work for Last Seen Column.

Custom Reports in User Tracking do not display any entries if you query on the Last Seen column.

Workaround:

In the Last Seen column, enter the date in this format: yyyy/mm/dd hh:mm:ss.

See the User Tracking Online help for more details.

CSCsc49155

User Tracking report generator displays error for some Custom queries.

If you run a custom query on User Tracking reports after remote migration, an error message appears.

Campus Manager 3.x allows you to create some queries which are not supported by CM 4.0.x. Hence, an error is displayed when you run the queries.

Workaround:

Delete the old queries created in Campus Manager 3.x, and create new queries.

CSCsc55925

User Tracking queries with Cisco CallManager address fails.

This problem occurs when you have User Tracking queries migrated from Campus Manager 3.2 or Campus Manager 3.3.

If there is a Cisco CallManager address in the query, and you try to edit the query in Campus Manager 4.0.3, an error message appears.

Workaround:

None.

CSCsc54306

User Tracking discovery spans more than the specified subnet.

When you start subnet discovery of user nodes, devices in that subnet are marked for discovery.

Since switches support multiple VLANs, discovery could span more than the subnet that you selected. User Tracking discovers additional end host nodes that are not in the selected subnet.

Workaround:

Query only the required VLAN option in the subnet discovery window.

CSCsa30812

Job reports are not available after upgrading to
Campus Manager 4.0.

Reports for the jobs that are successfully completed in Campus Manager 3.3 are not available after upgrading to Campus Manager 4.0.

This is because of the change in format of the Reports in Campus Manager 4.0. In earlier versions of Campus Manager, job results were stored in plain text, whereas in Campus Manager 4.0, the results are stored in serialized objects.

Workaround:

None.

User Tracking Report displays Port State as Static for dot1x authenticated ports.

User Tracking Report displays Port State as Static when an end host is connected to the switch port, which is configured for dot1x authentication.

This is because the device populates vmVlanType as Static for dot1x authenticated ports.

Workaround:

None

CSCsa22740

ARP entries are not fetched for Cisco 3550-24 VLAN Interfaces.

Workaround:

None.

CSCsa14652

NAM and IDS Modules appear as end hosts in User Tracking.

Cisco Catalyst 6000 devices running native IOS service modules appear as end hosts in User Tracking.

This is caused by a problem on the device.

Workaround:

None.

CSCin00363

End host does not appear if obsolete device IP address is assigned.

If you connect a CDP device to the port and then add a new end host, this new end host is not learnt. This is because ANI is not aware of such a change.

Workaround:

1. Delete the specific device.

2. Perform Data Collection for the neighboring devices.

3. Perform User Tracking discovery for that device.

CSCin00181

Last Seen field gets updated for disconnected IP phones.

The Last Seen field in Phone Tracking corresponds only to the Last Seen field on Cisco CallManager and not to the Last Seen field on Network.

Workaround:

None.

CSCec59408

Campus Manager does not query CISCO-PORT-SECURITY-MIB to verify port security configuration.

In User Tracking, configuring port security for a port makes the CAM entry static. When port security is configured, Campus Manager does not query CISCO-PORT-SECURITY-MIB.

This is because of a device specific MIB implementation problem.

Workaround:

Upgrade to Cisco IOS Release 12.2(18)EW1 or 12.2(20)EW.

CSCdt25525

User Tracking Main Table sometimes displays CDP-enabled devices that are outside the ANI discovery boundary.

During User Tracking discovery, User Tracking reads entries from the CAM table. These entries may include MAC addresses of devices that fall outside the ANI discovery boundary.

Workaround:

None.

CSCdt06183

User Tracking Main Table may not display all entries that are displayed in the phone table.

User Tracking entries shown in the Main Table are discovered from network. However, User Tracking entries shown in the phone table are read from Cisco CallManager.

If User Tracking cannot discover particular phones in network, entries for such phones in the User Tracking phone table will not have device and port information.

Workaround:

Ensure that the switch to which the IP Phones are connected, is managed by Campus Manager.

CSCdr85384

Phone entries displayed by User Tracking differ from entries displayed by Cisco CallManager.

User Tracking phone entries acquired through SNMP for each Cisco CallManager may be different from entries in Cisco CallManager.

The Cisco CallManager database displays a historical record of all phones registered to Cisco CallManager.

The SNMP agent retains only records of phones registered since the agent was started. This accounts for any differences.

Workaround:

None.

CSCsa11888

Channel or Trunk cannot be configured because of STP recalculation.

Campus Manager sets the channel mode to Desirable Non-silent on the selected devices to be channelled. However, STP state changes occur when any mode change happens.

So, if one of the two devices of the channel is an end-device and is only reachable through the to-be-channelled links, the device cannot be reached until the spanning-tree converges.

Workaround:

None.

CSCsa10216

Incorrect VTP version displayed in VTP reports.

This problem occurs in Topology Services:

The VTP Report displays the VTP version as 1 while the actual VTP version running on the device is VTP version 2.

Workaround:

None.

CSCsa04026

Link line or connection between two devices gets warped, if one device is moved.

This problem is seen in Topology services display map. When there is a long line between devices and one of the device is dragged to a different location on the map, a kink in the line develops with the link line connecting these two devices getting warped.

The line appears jagged, instead of being straight.

Workaround:

To avoid this behavior, have devices closer to each other.

CSCin68983

Cannot configure Trunk between Catalyst 2900XL and Catalyst 3500XL devices.

Trunk configuration fails between Catalyst 2900XL and Catalyst 3548XL series switches.
