Solution
Closed defect summary
Fixed in Fabric OS 6.2.1
Workaround prior to update:
A
workaround to facilitate execution of
admin level CLI commands using
ssh
, is
to use syntax similar to
ssh -l admin
192.168.1.12 rbash --login -c
switchshow.
Or, if a command is
needed that works on both older (correctly
operating) Fabric OS and the
newer/affected Fabric OS:
ssh -l
admin 192.168.1.12 switchshow
|| rbash --login -c
switchshow.
Sshd
allows admin login to execute root-level Linux commands, but admin
CLI commands fail with a
command not found
error.

performed before the name server is in sync.

Common Area Loader Daemon (CALD) shared memory is not released,
leading to high CPU load and inability to run many of the CLI commands;

Fixed in Fabric OS 6.2.1
In mixed Fabric OS and M-EOSc fabric in interopmode 2, with more than

not exist with M-EOSn based switches in a mixed fabric.
