Control Protocols
PD3-125288233 MSTP fails to converge when a vMAN Ethernet type is set to 0x8100 on a BlackDiamond
12800 series switch.
Diagnostics
PD4-285686375 After upgrading to the latest ExtremeXOS 12.1.2.17 image, the following EEPROM error
message appears in the log:
07/03/2008 12:30:03.72 MSM-A: MSM-B card eeprom checksum failed.
0xb97 != 0xb96
EAPS
PD4-749215481 Disabling the EAPS master primary port when there are no other ports configured on a
protected VLAN will cause a disruption of L2/L3 multicast traffic.
Workaround: Enable loopback on all EAPS protected VLANs.
PD4-471892924 Restarting the EAPS process on a controller generates the following error messages on a
console, but does not impact switch performance.
BD-8806.80 # restart process eaps
Step 1: terminating process eaps gracefully ...
Step 2: starting process eaps ...
Restarted process eaps successfully
BD-8806.81 # ERROR:VmgrProtocolIfRegister protoId:0 numIf:1

PD3-104885349 When a shared link comes up, temporary traffic loss may occur until FDB entries are
aged. Aging occurs by default every five minutes.
Workaround: To reduce traffic loss, reduce the default age time.
PD3-54870537,
PD3-45729158
Under the following circumstances, EAPS control packets received on the wrong VLAN
may be treated and processed.
1 Create a EAPS ring with three or more switches with a BlackDiamond 10808 as one
of the transit switches, directly connect to the master with load sharing enabled.
2 Enable load sharing on the primary port of the master switch (the master port should
be higher than the group port so that the configuration master and current master are
different in load sharing).
3 Disable load sharing on the BlackDiamond 10808.
4 Show EAPS on the master switch; the domain state will be complete.
5 The control packets are transmitted on the current master and the BlackDiamond
10808 will receive the packets on the port that is not part of the EAPS VLAN.
ESRP
PD4-464792522 A load-shared port in a host attach configuration is deleted without warning or error when
sharing is disabled on the port.
PD3-52741820 Disabling a shared port results in the ESRP port restarting and the configuration
disappearing.
IP Routing Protocols
PD3-132508261 When issuing the enable jumbo-frame port all command on a BlackDiamond
8800, the MTU size for the VLAN is not configured. Sending 5,000 byte traffic works
correctly. However, if you disable jumbo-frames on the egress port the error message
Packet too big is displayed.
