IronWare Software Release 02.8.00a for Brocade BigIron RX Series Swtches
Release Notes v 1.0 Page 32 of 40
Defect ID: DEFECT000352293
Technical Severity: Medium
Summary: Burst of jumbo frames may cause forwarding to cease on some ports of the 16x10 modules.
Symptom: With 8Gb/s of ISCI traffic at layer-2 sent through the RX, the traffic was balanced across 2 10G ports on
ingress and 2 on egress. These 10G ports were on 16x10 modules.
For example, ingress ports could be 3/5, 4/5 and egress 3/1 4/1. When one of the ingress ports was disabled,
with flow-control enabled, the remaining port would stop forwarding traffic until the disabled port was
reenabled.
However with flow-
control removed from the remaining enabled, port and the failover repeated, the port would
keep forwarding traffic and accept the aggregate load of around 8Gb/s.
Workaround: Remove flow-control on port.
