*Traceroute makes configuration change from "no names" to "names" *    *

*Workaround:*

No workaround at this time
Interpreting This Bug   *Bug Toolkit provides access to the latest raw bug
data so you have the earliest possible knowledge of bugs that may affect
your network, avoiding un-necessary downtime or inconvenience. Because you
are viewing a live database, sometimes the information provided is not yet
complete or adequately documented. To help you interpret this bug data, we
suggest the following:*
This status of this bug is *fixed*. The problem described in the bug report
is "fixed-in" all release versions targeted to be fixed, and all changes
have been successfully tested.
Check for a software release later than these listed in the "Fixed-in"
versions in software download center.
The "fixed-in" version may not be available for download yet until all the
other bugs targeted to be fixed for that major release are processed. No
release date information is available to Bug Toolkit. Please check the
software download section frequently to look for a new version.
Sometimes the bug details, when available, contain the "fixed-in" version
information or link to the upgrade or patch.
Always check the software release notes before performing any upgrade to
understand new functionality and open bugs not yet fixed.
Any "workaround" listed in the bug details section is generally provided as
a way to circumvent the bug until the code fix has been completed; often in
lieu of downgrading to a non-affected version of code.
In certain rare circumstances, we are unable to fix the bug in all versions
in which it is found. The bug will still have a 'fixed' status. Please open
a service request with the Technical Assistance Center if you are being
impacted by a bug in this condition.
Obscure version references are usually internal builds and may never be
posted as a full release. Please watch for a release version later than the
interim build displayed.
This bug has a *Moderate* severity 3 designation. Things fail under unusual
circumstances, or minor features do not work at all, or things fail but
there is a low-impact workaround.
This is the highest level for documentation bugs. (Bug Toolkit may not
provide access to all documentation bugs.)
Severity levels are designated by the engineering teams working on the bug.
Severity is not an indication of customer priority which is another value
used by engineering teams to determine overall customer impact.
Bug documentation often assumes intermediate to advanced troubleshooting and
diagnosis knowledge. Novice users are encouraged to seek fully documented
support documents and/or utilize other support options available.
