ExtremeWare 7.3.1b3 Release Notes 61
MSM-Failover Link-Down Not Working on the Remote Side
The MSM-failover link-down does not bring down the link on the remote side of the switch. It only
brings down the link on the fiber ports (PD2-246448118).
ExtremeWare 7.3 introduces the concept of QoS profiles on a VLAN
QoS profiles refer to the queue configuration of physical ports. The standard way to configure QoS
profiles for ports is by using port numbers. If you configure a QoS profile on a VLAN, the QoS profile is
applied to all of the ports on the VLAN. However, if the port belongs to multiple VLANs, any QoS
profile changes made on the different VLANs affect the same physical port configuration. The QoS
profile changes correspond to the last configured value on the port. The configuration can be either
directly as a port or because of being a part of a VLAN (PD2-243742697).
Repeatedly Hot-Swapping the MSM Might Cause Loss of Connectivity
If you remove and re-insert the backup MSM several times in a row (above 5 times), you might
temporarily lose connectivity between the MSM and the I/O modules (PD2-231933106).
Cannot Save or Download a Configuration If a “ghost” Process is Running in the
Background
If you issue the save configuration command, you might get the following error message:
Failed to save config: a save or download is in progress - please try again Later
This error message can be generated if you are trying to save or download a configuration while the
switch already has a save or download configuration process running in the background. There are
instances where the switch appeared to have a “ghost” save or download configuration process running
but did not. This error message can be issued if a save or download configuration process was
interrupted.
Workaround. Reboot the switch. This should clear the ghost processes and allow you to save and
download the configuration again (PD2-231288723).
Creating an ACL with a Filter-Precedence of 11 or 12 Generates a Conflict Error with
cpu-dos-protect
When enabling cpu-dos-protect on the switch, a filter-precedence of 10 (default) is used. If you
configure another ACL with a filter-precedence of 11 and 12, a conflict error with CPU DOS Protection
is generated (PD2-241094151, PD2-241094160).
Hot-Swapping Modules Might Cause Misleading Error Messages
A module that is receiving broadcast traffic might generate misleading error messages as it is removed.
The messages will be similar to the following:
<Erro:Bridge.FrameError> Cannot send
packet out.Card=7 not present 04/21/2004 21:15:00.17
(PD2-231933101).
G12Ti Module Link Detection Fails
Link detection will fail on G12Ti ports set to 100 Mbps full duplex, with autonegotiation set to off, if
you do not use the correct cabling. Auto cross detection does not properly detect this condition. As a
workaround, use the correct cable (PD2-232279701).
