The tracking numbers for some items in this document are added for your convenience.

New and Changed Information

Firmware Release v1.00.03

Using Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) with a FastHub 400M no longer causes occasional console lockup. [CSCdr17179]

Limitations

The FastHub 400M model can store up to 4096 MAC addresses in memory; the optional switched uplink modules can store up to 1536 MAC addresses. If you experience excessive flooding of unicast packets on these devices, your hub or module might have reached its maximum. To clear the MAC address table, power-cycle the hub. [CSCdk90641]

Usage Guidelines

Stacking Guidelines

When changing or moving units within a managed hub stack, note these configuration rules.

This means that if you remove a hub (other than the M1 hub) or module from the stack and later reinstall the same device, that device can assume its former configuration in the stack through the M1 hub. Whether or not this happens depends upon whether the stored configuration for that particular device has been retained by the M1 hub or overwritten through intervening changes. [CSCdk90005]

Example

For example, in a stack of hubs in which hub 1 is the FastHub 400 model M1 hub and hubs 2, 3, and 4 are FastHub 400 model unmanaged hubs, the following conditions would apply:


Table 1:
Original Stack Replace with New Stack

Hub 2 (store 2)

(Hub 3) ---->

Hub A ---->

Hub 4

Hub 4 (store 4)


Table 2:

Clearing the NVRAM of a Management Hub in a Redundant Stack

To reset the nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM) configuration settings of one or both management hubs in a redundant stack configuration, note the following guidelines.


Note The primary management hub is referred to as the M1 hub, the secondary management hub as the M2 hub.
