12 Known issues
210676-F
• The flooded packets and filtered packets counters return incorrect results for
the BPS 2000-1GT, BPS 2000-2GT, and BPS 2000-2GE MDA (they always
display 0). (CR Q00137290)
• Nortel Networks recommends that you do not use MAC Address Security
(BaySecure) on any MultiLink Trunk ports.
• When you renumber a stack of pure BPS 2000, check the port mirroring
configuration. You may have to manually reconfigure the ports you want for
port mirroring. (CR Q00156278)
• When configuring Port Mirroring on a specified MAC address, resetting the
switch may cause instabilities in the system. (CR Q00155176)
Workaround is to disable Port Mirroring on MAC addresses before resetting
the switch.
• ASCII configuration file name maximum string length is 29, rather than 30,
characters. (CRQ00107944)
• When you attempt to save the configuration to the TFTP server, it may not
work the first time. (CR Q00153972)
Workaround is to save it a second time, when it definitely saves.
• When you are using the CLI and attempt to set a 10/100 Mbps port to
1000 Mbps, the port mode resets to autonegotiation. (CR Q00153171)
• When you set the Authentication Trap and Autotopology to disabled and save
the configuration file to the TFTP server, these two settings are not saved.
(CR Q00153286)
• Before upgrading to BPS 2000 software version 1.2, save the software version
1.1 configuration as a binary configuration file in case you need to downgrade
to software version 1.1.
• If you are working with a mixed, or Hybrid, stack and are downgrading the
software, the BPS 2000 units will reset to factory default but the BayStack
450 units will not default.
The workaround is to default the entire stack.
Note: If you need to downgrade from BPS 2000 software version 1.2,
save the configuration as a binary configuration file. The configuration
files will be set to factory defaults as part of the downgrade process.
