Workaround: Select Quickview as the home page manually. (6297) • Banners are supported only up to 256 characters in length. (2265) • To set up alarms or events for user login or logout, you must set up the device syslog server and syslog level. For example, for the 35XX model, you must issue the following command lines: logging 192.168.0.117 logging file informational (6695) • You must wait more than three minutes to deploy another firmware version after you successfully deploy the first firmware version. Deploying firmware can also fail with the default timeout value. You can increase the timeout value from the Management interface and also in \owareapps\dellpoewrconnet\dellpc.properties. (6680) • You must typically increase the timeout for firmware deployment of multistack devices. Stop the Dell OpenManage Network Manager service in Windows., edit the file powerconnect/lib/dellpc.property, and set PC_NR_TIMEOUT = 10000000. (6681) • To disable LAG Spanning Tree on a 62xx, you must set the Path Cost to a minimum of 1. Leaving path cost at 0 will cause an SNMP error. (6304) • Dell devices have an SNMP Management Station entry in their web pages that specifies a destination for SNMP communication. If this does not include the address of the mediation server (in single host installations this is the application server), discovery will fail on the SNMP get step.
