Hi,

 

I am also waiting for the release of this software. It would hopefully resolve our problem:

CSCvs14893

802.1x-MultiAuth/MultiDomain: C9K - Traffic drop in egress direction for Data-Vlan on a Auth port

 

As per TAC-Engineer this SW should have been released already last week. Why the delay?
