Release Notes for Cisco Network Assistant 5.0 and Later

OL-12210-03

Limitations and Restrictions

You should review this section before you begin working with the device. These are known limitations

that will not be fixed, and there is not always a workaround. Some features might not work as

documented, and some features could be affected by recent changes to the device hardware or software.

These sections describe the limitations and restrictions:

• “Cluster Limitations and Restrictions” section on page 8

• “Network Assistant Limitations and Restrictions” section on page 9

Cluster Limitations and Restrictions

These limitations apply only to the Catalyst 4500 series switches:

• By default, clustering is disabled on the Catalyst 4500 series switches.

• You must assign an IP address to the Catalyst 4500 series switch if it is a cluster command switch

candidate. If the switch is a cluster member candidate, you might not need to assign an IP address.

• By default, the HTTP server is disabled on the Catalyst 4500 series switch. To connect the switch

to Network Assistant, you must enable the HTTP server on all cluster members.

• The HTTP port number on Network Assistant and the Catalyst 4500 series switch must match.

• A Catalyst 4500 switch can be a cluster member only if another Catalyst 4500 switch is the

command device.

• By default, the Catalyst 4500 series switch is configured with five vty lines. If the switch (such as a

cluster command device with multiple cluster members) is connected to Network Assistant, you

must configure at least eight + x vty lines, where x is the number of vty lines used by other

applications. You can configure a maximum of 16 vty lines.

• Create a switch virtual interface (SVI) to use for intracluster communication. The SVI must be in

the no shut state.
