System Firmware Version 5.1.0.1
Summary
User Impact
Resolution
Affected
Platforms
Traffic is forwarding when
IPv6 forwarding is disabled
Incorrect operational state in network.
The
ipv6 forwarding
command is deprecated. To
disable traffic forwarding, use
the “
no ipv6 unicast-routing”
in place of the “
no ipv6
forwarding”
command.
PCM8024
A LAG member comes UP if
configured individually as no
shutdown, even though the
port-channel's state is down
Incorrect operational state in network.
LAG members are placed in
the blocking state for
dynamic LAGs and only
come up when the LAG link
comes up.
All
Platforms
Re-authenticate Now check
box is not highlighted when
edit check box is selected
Inability to configure switch.
The Re-authenticate Now
check box is highlighted
when the edit check box is
selected
All
Platforms
Block command is not seen in
show running config
through
web and cli
Potential operator confusion over switch
operations.
The block command is a
temporary administrative
assignment and is not
maintained persistently in
the saved or running configs.
All
Platforms
FDB entries are getting aged
out before default age-out time,
when both FDB and MFDB
tables are full.
Potential operator confusion over switch
operations.
On the PCM6220, the
MFDB and FDB tables are a
shared resource. The user is
continually sending new
MFDB entries, which causes
old FDB entries to be
removed to make a place for
the new MFDB entries.
All
Platforms
DHCP packets forwarding is
not proper to/from the trusted
and un-trusted ports
Incorrect operational state in network.
The frame flooding routing
in DHCP snooping now
takes into account trust
status.
All
Platforms
Configuring all ports in all
VLANs takes a long time
Potential operator frustration with switch
management.
VLAN configuration has
been optimized.
All
Platforms
Max number of OSPF
neighbors not supported
Potential operator confusion over switch
operations.
The maximum number of
neighbors is supported.
All
Platforms
Cable fault distance not getting
displayed in WEB in case of
cable with one or more pairs
cut or short.
Potential operator confusion over switch
operations.
The fault distance is
displayed in the web page.
All
Platforms
Ports representation need to be
changed in debug messages
Potential operator confusion over switch
operations. Inability to diagnose network
issues.
Ports are now displayed in
C/S/P standard format
All
Platforms
No error message for illegal
characters in various command
parameters
Potential operator confusion over switch
configuration.
The accepted character set
and length is documented in
the CLI reference manual.
All
Platforms
The ARP entry is not seen in
the ARP table when an ARP
reply is sent to DUT.
Potential operator confusion over switch
operations. Inability to diagnose network
issues.
ARP entries are stored
properly
All
Platforms
Mapping Table configuration is
not being displayed on Read-
Only mode user web page.
Potential operator confusion over switch
configuration.
The mapping table is
displayed for a read-only
user.
All
Platforms
ACL is getting deleted when
trying to create max+1 rule.
Potential operator confusion over switch
operations. Possible security issues.
Corrected error checking
logic.
