Weird error when upgrading to 15.2E

The config of the device is empty and this repeats every reboot ....

Anybody also seen this ??? Any clue what it might be ??

New switch never plugged into any network or ever been configured, just updated IOS and I get same message.

Mine is on a WS-C3750X-24T-S running 15.2(3)E1 (C3750E-UNIVERSALK9-M) c3750e-universalk9-mz.152-3.E1.bin.

I get the exact same error output on initial boot after reload. It's obviously related to autoconf, the switch acts as if it is trying to apply the following configuration from an auto config template, even though we aren't using that feature.

Im have the same issue on 3560 with 15.2. Have you found a workaround or fix for this?

Thanks

We opened a TAC case and they came back with this:

Hello Team,

I was able to replicate this problem, I enabled autoconfig and then disabled it, after the reload I received same errors. I found this is a defect on the software that affects only new IOS releases on train 15.2E. I successfully downgraded the software to a different train:15.0(2)SE6/ 15.0(2)SE8 and the errors disappeared.

https://software.cisco.com/download/release.html?mdfid=282979361&flowid=2627&softwareid=280805680&release=15.0.2-SE8&relind=AVAILABLE&rellifecycle=MD&reltype=latest

This appears to be only a cosmetic issue as the running config does not show any of those outputs.

However if you would like to remove this errors you would need to downgrade the software to a different train.

Let me know if you have any doubt. Thanks!

Yeah, right. Thank god there is TAC .... !!!

All this we knew already ....

Downgrading to 15.0(x)SE is not an option, because the reason we chose 15.2.xE is that it supports IBNS 2.0 !!! 15.0(x) doesn't !!!

Cosmetic or not, since IBNS 2.0 does not work correctly in the 15.2.x releases either (see https://supportforums.cisco.com/discussion/12597491/ibns-20-interface-template-does-not-work-expected-ios-152xe), this bug should be fixed in upcoming releases ....

Hi all,

There is an internal bug that was identify identified and will be fixed in 15.2(4)E1, which should be available by the end of the year, it is known that the version 15.2(2)E3 will present the errors on boot up but the lost config issue is not seen.

The errors should be just cosmetic.

Regards,

Jose

I may be nit picking semantics here, but the original copy of the post from the engineer found the commands not in running config.

What about derived config ? Or was that the meaning?

Thanks,

Shawn

Gorkagere · ‎05-15-2018

I have same problem but in my case prompt stops on "% Invalid input detected at '^' marker" and cannot access to the switch.

By the way, running IOS is 15.2(2.7)E

Regards,

Gorka.
