4.
LAG
The remote LACP admin-key #1 cannot be estab-
lished with some third party vendors.
Use a different admin-key
number.
5.
LAG
Traffic running over LAG may not be evenly dis-
tributed when testing small number of SMACs.
6.
LAG
A port-channel stops forwarding traffic after dis-
abling some Ethernet ports in the same port-chan-
nel group.
Disable and enable the
LAG.
7.
LAG
When converting static LAG to dynamic LAG
(LACP), some of the ports remain in ‘DOWN’
state.
Disable and enable the
LAG.
8.
VLAN
It might take approximately 20 seconds to create/
delete 1000 VLANs, or to change the switchport
mode of an interface.
9.
Spanning Tree
Non-standard behavior may occur on third party
switch STP functionality when the port moves
from Root to Alternate state. The standard Pro-
posal-Agreement sent by MLNX-OS is unan-
swered which may result in traffic loss of up to 30
seconds.
10.
IGMP Snooping
Setting the “ip igmp snooping unregistered multi-
cast” option to “forward-to-mrouter-ports” option
reduces the amount of supported VLANs to 250.
11.
ACL
A mask of IPv4 ACL rule can contain either 255
or 0 in any of the 4 bytes assembling it.
12.
ACL
ACL is not supported on split interfaces.
13.
ACL
Removing configured ACL on split interfaces
requires reset factory.
