System Related – Alpine Switches
Configuring Slots for the GM-4Xi and GM-4SXi
On the Alpine 3808 and 3804 switches, the only configurable option for The Alpine 1000BaseX I/O
modules is the “GM-4Xi” option. When using EPICenter to manage the switch, EPICenter will display
a slot mismatch for the GM-4SXi modules when configured as a GM-4Xi. The GM-4SXi will be fully
operational and recognized as a “GM-4Xi” for the configured type (9884).
System Related – Summit Switches
Summit 48i Redundant PHY
When the primary port of a redundant pair is disabled and the link removed, the Led for that port
continues to flash indicating it has a link and is disabled (9239).
The Summit 48i is currently not able to detect a single fiber strand signal loss due to the HW based
Auto Negotiation parameters (10995).
Summit Stackables and SNMP results for Power Sources
The inputPower MIB is unable to differentiate between 110V and 220V input on the Summit series
switches when accessing this MIB attribute through SNMP (10870).
Summit 48Si MIB value for Input Power Voltage
On the Summit 48Si, the extremeInputPowerVoltage attribute in extremeSytemCommonInfo is shown as
“0” and the extremePowerSupplyInputVoltage in the extremePowerSupplyTable is shown as
“unknown.” These values cannot be obtained from the switch. (1-841J1)
Command Line Interface (CLI)
Don’t Use the Encrypted Option from the CLI
There is an option available in the CLI for encrypting a password in commands that specify access or
authentication. This includes commands to create and configure accounts, to set the shared secret for
RADIUS or TACACS+, for setting the SNMP community strings, for access to various services related to
SLB, and others. Do not use the encrypted option in these commands. It is for use only by the switch when
uploading and downloading an ASCII configuration file, so that passwords are not indicated in clear
text within the configuration file (4229, 4719).
“Show Iproute” Command
The “show iproute” display has a special flag for routes that are active and in use, these routes are
preceded by a “*” in the route table. If there are multiple routes to the same destination network, the “*”
will indicate which route is the most preferable route.
The “Use” and “M-Use” fields in the route table indicate the number of times the software routing
module is using the route table entry for packet forwarding decisions. The “Use” field indicates a count
for unicast routing while the “M-Use” field indicates a count for multicast routing. If the use count is
