Debug messages are not displayed when connected via Telnet on the OS7000. They only display on the
console port.
Workaround: Connect to the console for doing debug commands with display output.
PR 69890
OSPF virtual links will not form an adjacency with gateD switches if MD5 is configured on an OS6600/
7000.
Workaround: The MD5 key id for OSPF virtual links is hardcoded to 1. Any switch that uses gateD and
MD5 is configured on the virtual link requires that key id is coded accordingly. In this gateD example for
an OmniSwitch Router, the ID is set to 1:
ospf yes
backbone { interface 212.1.1.194 { priority 2; };
virtuallink neighborid 196 transitarea 3
{ auth md5 key “hawkVL” id 1;
hellointernal 10;
routerdeadinterval 40; } ;
} ;

OSPF Area Summary ranges no longer have "enabled/disabled" status. The presence or absence of a range
itself is equivalent to the "enabled/disabled" state on the OS7000.
Workaround: If a range is to be disabled, it should be deleted with the no ip osp area summary range
command. On creating a range, it is automatically in the enabled state.

On the OS7000, RIP and OSPF MD5 authentication is not interoperable between AOS and XOS (GateD)
& OmniCore.
Workaround: Use Clear Text or SIMPLE authentication.
PR 78386
The OSPF task traps on the OS6600 series switch, either on a standalone or on a stacked switch, some-
times during the following scenario: – the total number of OSPF routes number 250 or more and there is
redistribution of 100 or more Rip v2 routes into OSPF; – there is a flap of OSPF routes with routes getting
deleted and then added quite frequently like once in half an hour. The trap is found to be due to corruption
of the nodes in the Skip List used by OSPF. This is not always reproducible and may happen at any time
during runtime of OSPF task.
Workaround: There is no workaround for this issue and the OSPF task will suspend when the Skip List
corruption happens. The switch will need to be rebooted.
