System Firmware Version 5.1.0.1
Summary
User Impact
Workaround
The following unwanted
logs may come up on
console after running the
“show tech-support”
command with UDLD
and MSTP configured:
“ATP RX: Failed to
alloc” logs
There is no effect to the switch or user, just
unwanted log messages on console.
None
On PC8100 switches,
console gets locked for
20-30 seconds if trying
to add a 6to4 tunnel
source within 30 seconds
of deleting another
tunnel source.
This only happens after repeated attempts at
adding and deleting a tunnel source and thus the
impact is very small to the customer.
Wait for 30 seconds after deleting the tunnel
source and then add a new tunnel source.
'out of mBlks' logs are
observed on console if
ICMPv6 echo requests
are sent to OOB port at
line rate
There is no effect to the switch or user, just
unwanted log messages on console.
None.
Invalid characters are
shown under reason
column for some entries
in the “show ip ospf
statistics” command.
This only happens with this CLI command output
and thus might be bothersome.
The Web interface will not show these
characters.
LPI samples are not
shown for the first time
on selecting a different
unit number using the
GUI.
This can be confusing to the user since the switch
will not show the stats for the port after a new
unit is selected but then the stats will show up
after going to new port and then back.
Select a random port from the web and then re-
select the desired port to view the LPI samples.
"show fiber port optical-
transceiver" command is
showing current as zero
for QSFP transceivers.
This field does not apply to QSFP transceivers
and should display “NA” instead of zero.
None.
Image uploaded with
HTTP method can't be
downloaded back to the
switch if switch and PC
are located in different
networks and the
networks are very slow.
This might require the User to have to retry the
download or change the IP address or VLANs on
the switch or PC.
Use alternate transfer methods like TFTP, FTP,
etc.
Console messages shows
"Thermal state raised to
WARNING" often.
Our customers requested this warning to indicate
better visibility into the Thermal settings and
sensors.
Configure the logging level to be higher than
“Warning”.
Finisar LRM 10G SFP+
transceiver model –
FTLX137D3BCL - drops
packets intermittently.
This specific model is not recommended for use
with our switches.
Please use the Avago 10G-BaseLRM model –
AFBR-707SDZ-D1.
OpenManage displays
incorrect session timeout
duration
OpenManage timeout warning window is
displaying the wrong value but uses the set value.
None.
Command "show fiber-
ports optical-transceiver"
causes UI to become
slower with multiple
transceiver count.
Executing the command “show fiber-ports
optical-transceiver” with multiple transceivers
inserted will cause the console prompt a long
time to return (possibly up to 60 seconds).
None.
