Defect ID:
DEFECT000368019
Technical Severity:
Medium
Summary:
FastIron drops ServerIron Hot Standby HA MAC sync PDUs sent or received on ports configured for
UDLD.
Symptom:
Configuring UDLD between an FWS or FGS switch and each ADX in a hot standby ServerIron pair
leads to the standby ServerIron not being able to learn MAC addresses on the UDLD-configured port.
Workaround:
Disable UDLD on the intermediate FGS/FWS devices in order to prevent UDLD from interfering
with the MAC Sync PDU's on ServerIron devices.
Probability:
Medium
Feature:
SX L2 Control
Function:
UDLD
