12.4T - 12.4(11)T |
All rebuilds of 12.4(11)T are affected |
Problem Description
One or more operational problems may occur in Cisco IOS release 12.4(11)T when Quality of Service (QoS) features are configured. Users may observe incorrect packet accounting values, reduced packet forwarding performance, and in some cases IOS reboots
Background
Cisco IOS release 12.4(11)T introduced an enhanced packet classification infrastructure. This new infrastructure provides a single flexible packet classification system for Cisco IOS. After the new infrastructure was introduced, several new software bugs were discovered that were not observed with the old packet classification infrastructure. A subset of those bugs appears for reference in this notice. .
Problem Symptoms
One of several symptoms may be observed including counters that indicate incorrectly classified packets, packet forwarding performance degradation, and forced reboot of the entire IOS system. These symptoms are possible on any hardware platform supported by version 12.4(11)T. All rebuilds of Cisco IOS release 12.4(11)T are affected (e.g. 12.4(11)T1, 12.4(11)T2, ...).
These symptoms are possible on any hardware platform supported by version 12.4(11)T. All rebuilds of Cisco IOS release 12.4(11)T are affected (e.g. 12.4(11)T1, 12.4(11)T2, ...).
Workaround/Solution
There is no workaround that avoids all possible symptoms.
A solution is expected to be available in Cisco IOS version 12.4(15)T1 and later.
To avoid the symptoms, users may downgrade to a pre-12.4(11)T release or upgrade to 12.4(15)T1 or 12.4(15)T2 when it becomes available.
Cisco strongly discourages deploying an IOS 12.4(11)T release with QoS features enabled due to the potential severity of symptoms.
