Configured SYSLOG server
parameters cannot be updated
without deleting and re-
configuring
Potential operator frustration over switch
configuration.
Syslog server parameter can
be updated in the CLI
without deleting the server.
All
Platforms
CLI will not let user configure
available parameter for the given
IGMP command
Potential operator frustration over switch
configuration.
IGMP configuration
commands can be entered in
interface VLAN mode at any
time.
All
Platforms
Inconsistent behavior - using
same port number for multiple
services
Potential operator confusion over switch
operations.
Attempting to add a service
with a TCP port overlapping
a TCP port used by an
existing service is denied
with an appropriate error
message.
All
Platforms
LLDP Assignment of port ID for

operations. Inability to diagnose network
issues.
The LLDP port id TLV is
supported by PowerConnect
and can be displayed on peer
devices.
All
Platforms
Management ACL list needs
"Match every packet" option
Potential operator frustration over switch
configuration. Possible security issue.
New syntax has been added
to the management ACL to
allow the
any
specification
for the service type.
All
Platforms

TRAP-MIB
Potential operator frustration over switch
configuration.
The Dell-LAN-TRAP-MIB
is supported.
All
Platforms
Simple mode BPDU will pass
thru port-aggregator to other
port-aggregator when using a
single link per aggregator
Network outage if connected to Cisco with

address in "show lacp port-
channel"
Potential operator confusion over network
topology
The partner MAC address is
displayed in the Partner
system MAC address field.
All
Platforms
SNMP going unresponsive on
modular switches within 6 hours
Potential operator frustration over switch
operations
SNMP operations have been
corrected and tested without
issue for over 24 hours.
