When the amount of Macs on an OS6624/6648 switch reaches 85% of 16K, the fast aging mechanism will
start to age out all of the Macs faster.
Workaround: There is no known workaround at this time.
PR 68045
ARP replies are sent best effort on an OS6624/6648. This might possibly result in a loss of ARP resolu-
tion on adjacent switches while routing over links experiencing sustained congestion.
Workaround: On the adjacent device, add a static ARP entry for the MAC address / IP address of the
routing instance.
PR 68052
Link aggregation and Learned Port Security should not be configured on the same port on the OS7000.
Presently the switch lets the user configure both on the same port.
Workaround: There is no known workaround at this time.
PR 68780
MAC addresses are learned at a very slow pace after a takeover on an OS6624/6648 during heavy load
conditions. Full traffic recovery takes about 15 minutes.
Workaround: There is no known workaround at this time.
PR 69257
Unable to view statically assigned source MAC address in table.
Workaround: The command line interface displays these values just fine and all entries created with
Webview can be verified via a telnet session.
PR 72646
On the OS7000/8800, the MAC is learned on the port wherever the MAC is seen on a Link Aggregate port
because the NI does not have Link Aggregation concept at ingress side. So the MAC is already learned on
the port which this MAC is seen on.
Workaround: There is no known workaround at this time.
PR 74790
There is a limit to the number of protocols that can be processed efficiently on a single mobile port.
Workaround: Limit protocol-based mobility rules, protocol rule, port-protocol rule, or MAC-port-proto-
col rule, to 5 different protocols per port.
