Release Notes for Cisco Network Assistant 5.0 and Later

OL-12210-03

Important Notes

• Hostnames and Domain Name System (DNS) server names with commas for a cluster command

device, member device, or candidate device can cause Network Assistant to behave unexpectedly.

You can avoid this instability in the interface by not using commas in hostnames or DNS names. Do

not enter commas when also entering multiple DNS names in the IP Configuration tab of the IP

Management window in Network Assistant.

• Access control entries (ACEs) that contain the host keyword precede all other ACEs in standard

ACLs. You can reposition the ACEs in a standard ACL with one restriction: No ACE with the any

keyword or a wildcard mask can precede an ACE with the host keyword.

• If Network Assistant loses IP connectivity to the switch and an action is performed in the IP Address

window, a Java exception error occurs.

The workaround is to close and to reopen the IP Address window when connectivity is restored.

(CSCee91784)

• When you reload a device by using Network Assistant, it saves the running configuration. If you

want to reload without saving the running configuration, use the CLI. (CSCeh24259)

• If a dual-media port on a Catalyst 4500 switch, model WS-C4948 or model WS-X4506-GB-T, is

configured to RJ-45 and you apply a Smartports port role, the port is changed to SFP, the default

setting. The connection to the port is lost.

Reconfigure the media type to RJ-45 through the Port Settings window. (CSCeh31699)

• If you open the Modify Port Settings or the Modify Port Mode window twice in succession from the

Front Panel view by right-clicking a port, selecting Port Settings or VLAN from the popup menu,

and repeating these actions for another port, the windows display the settings for the port that you

selected first.

Ensure that the Interface field in these windows applies to the port that you selected. Be sure to

close these windows between port selections. (CSCei17154)

• After you perform a search, the TAB key moves the focus in the search results. If you press the TAB

key enough to reach the end of the results, the next TAB keystroke moves the focus out of the search

results and into the next-in-focus window on the Network Assistant desktop.

Press ALT-s to return to the search results. (CSCei68648)

• Network Assistant does not verify whether the VLAN and the native VLAN are the same on the

access point and the switch port that is connected to the access point. VLAN differences might cause

wireless connectivity problems when you use the Secure Wireless feature.

The workaround is to ensure that the VLANs and the native VLAN are the same on the access point

and the switch port. (CSCsb77434)
