• The SCE platform may experience a reboot when a port scan operation is performed on the
SCEs management port. This reboot is initiated by the SCE platform due to scheduling
optimization for detecting failover conditions in periods of less than 1 second in a
configuration of two cascaded SCE platforms.
The following is recommended:
• Use IP access lists to eliminate port scans that take place due to actual attacks.
• If the system administrator needs to perform a port scan operation as part of a security
check, it is advisable to disable the SCE platform watchdog only for the period of time in
which the port scan is performed, using the following CLI commands:
configure/interface linecard 0/0 no watchdog
configure/watchdog software-reset disabled
