Additional Firmware Notes

The update to Cisco Firmware 10.3(4a) includes the following changes:

  • The Cisco spine and leaf switch files are modified as suggested by Cisco to fix 35984246. These leaf and spine files are updated during upgrade when pca-misc-tasks runs. If the switch is reloaded, run pca-misc-tasks to add this change to the leaf and spine switches. For more information, contact Oracle Support and reference [PCA 2.x] - After a Power Outage a PCA Operating on only One Leaf Switch Can Not Locate its Peer vPC (Doc ID 2987504.1).

  • The update to Cisco Firmware 10.3(4a) includes the following change: The default configuration for resource limit for VRF under the VDC configuration was increased by 1 to accommodate a new feature in Cisco Firmware 10.3(4a). This change has no functional impact and will be reverted in the next Cisco Firmware update. See Cisco bug "CSCwh68545 Default resource limit change for VRFs" for more information.
