Software Fixes
■ Link-up polling interval — A delay of up to 1.7 seconds between plugging in a cable
(linkbeat established) and traffic being forwarded to and from that port may cause problems
with some time sensitive applications. For example, AppleTalk dynamic address negotiation
can be affected, resulting in multiple devices using the same AppleTalk address.
■ Loop/VTP — The switch will incorrectly forward VTP packets from third party devices if
that packet is received on a blocked port.
■ Menu — The switch may not display the complete forwarding table while performing a MAC
address search.
■ Menu — Incorrect error message is displayed when attempting to create a VLAN which
exceeds the maximum number of VLANs supported. (Fix is to display an error message
similar to "VLAN limit already reached.")
■ Menu — Menu does not allow a port configuration change from a full-duplex/flow control
setting to a half-duplex/no flow control setting.
■ Menu — Menu does not allow trunks to be configured on transceiver ports that have never
had a transceiver installed before.
■ Menu/CLI — Modified help message for RSTP.
■ Menu/VLAN — The VLAN help text has been modified
■ NNM/Stacking — If stacking is configured, NNM cannot discover the device as a generic
switch.
■ Performance/Crash — Slow performance may occur when using 10/100 ports or the 100FX
transceiver operating at half-duplex. And when using 100FX, Gigabit Stacking, Gigabit-SX,
or Gigabit-LX transceivers operating at full-duplex (Note: The Gigabit transceivers can only
operate in full-duplex mode.) This was due to the InterPacket Gap (IPG) being too long for
half-duplex and too short for full-duplex. This may also result in a switch crash with a
message similar to:
-> Software exception at woodyDma_recv.c:154 -- in 'eDrvPollRx'
-> DMA unrecoverable error
■ STP — Switch does not forward STP BPDUs when STP is disabled.
■ STP Fast Mode — A port configured for STP fast mode behaves like a standard STP port.
■ STP/RSTP — Port path cost is reset even though path cost is configured for "Auto".
■ STP/Running-Config — STP path-cost is not written to the configuration when using the
CLI.
