terminal with following information: “Fatal Error:
Communication with port id /PHY has failed”, and
performs a self-reboot

Issues resolved
The following issues have been resolved in current firmware release
Description
User Impact
Resolution
Prevent creating duplicate ACEs per ACL
Every time the users applies
the profile-global macro with
the "macro global apply
profile-global" command, a
new duplicate entry is added
to each of the ACLs
Delete redundant ACL
The command "boot host dhcp" needs to
stay in the configuration if without
autosave option.
The "boot host dhcp"
command which initiates the
auto configuration feature
should not be removed from
the running-config or startup-
config (which terminates
auto configuration retries)
unless the customer has
selected the auto-save
option which indicates that
he wants the new config
saved and therefore does
not want to retry the
configuration download
