PR 65650
With a large number of RIP routes on the OS7000, (i.e. 200), setting the Debug Level to a high value (i.e.
100) ties up RIP with printing debug messages, which causes RIP not to accept other inputs ex: CLI or
SNMP.
Workaround: Reduce the debug-level to a lower value (i.e. 70).
PR 65678
On the OS8800 debug IP packet can only display bogus characters.
Workaround: There is no known workaround at this time.
PR 67799
Performance may drop slightly below wire-rate while routing small-sized packets on an OS6624/6648.
Workaround: There is no known workaround at this time.
PR 71573
OS6624/6648 does not support multiple router MAC address mode.
Workaround: If connecting an OS6624/6648 to an XOS box, make sure that only one port per IP VLAN
is physically connected between the two boxes. Otherwise, routing will not work.
PR 72943
The protocol processing on the OS6600 family of switches includes IP-SNAP protocol in the IP Ethernet
protocol set. That means, if an protocol rule for ip-e2 exists with an ip-snap protocol rule on the same
switch, the ip-snap rule will be disregarded.
The OS7000 switches do process ip-e2 and ip-snap protocols separately.
Workaround: Use an IP network address rule instead of an IP protocol rule in conjunction with an ip-
snap protocol rule, if possible.
PR 73015
The IP ETHERNET 2 protocol and the IPX ETHERNET 2 protocols cannot be associated with the same
MAC address in two separate mac-port-protocol rules (using the same port is assumed). Either one or the
other protocol's traffic will flow, but not both on the OS7000.
Workaround: Use only a mac-port-protocol rule with either IP or IPX, or go to a less restricted rule like
port-protocol or protocol rule.
