NetStructure™ 480T Routing Switch User Guide
Why does the switch keep aging out endstation entries in the
switch Forwarding Database (FDB)?
• Reduce the number of topology changes by disabling STP on those
systems that do not use redundant paths.
• Specify that the endstation entries are static or permanent.
ESRP
Why am I having trouble with interoperability between switches
using different versions of firmware running ESRP?
• We recommend that all switches running ESRP use the same
version of firmware.
• If mixing of firmware versions becomes necessary on the network,
problems may arise using some of the newer ESRP features.

Troubleshooting Tools
Debug Tracing
The debug commands
should only be used
when advised by Intel
technical personnel.
The local management software includes a debug-tracing facility for
the switch. The command can be applied to one or all VLANs:
show debug-tracing {vlan <name>}
TOP Command
The top command activates a utility that indicates microprocessor
utilization by process.
