ExtremeXOS 12.5.4 Release Notes
72
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.
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.
PD3-132775269 Telnet sessions between two switches using two windows causes one session to hang if
both sessions are edited but only one session is saved.
PD3-28378521 Enabling load sharing on a port that is being mirrored causes the mirroring to stop.
BlackDiamond 8800 Series Switch
PD4-1941344101 IP multicast error messages occur on slot G8X after clearing IGMP snooping or stopping
and restarting multicast streams.
PD4-1878642172 Pseudo wire counters for Tx and Rx are not working on BlackDiamond 8900 series
switches after a transport LSP path is changed.
PD4-1680990961 Process etmon is terminated with signal 6 on MSM-B during local AAA feature
regression.
PD4-1827550796,
PD4-1147104931
A BlackDiamond 8800 series switch takes more than 30 minutes to boot up with VLAN
aggregation configured.
PD4-1557200360 In ISIS, when the topology mode is changed from multi to single, not all routes are
redistributed from OSPFv3.
PD4-1546542587 ISIS process crashes with signal 6 while trying to change the metric-style to wide under
scaled conditions.
PD4-1637972971 Beginning with ExtremeXOS 12.5, the mirroring feature stops working after downgrading
and then upgrading the switch software.
PD4-1567438997 When an ExtremeXOS switch receives an OSPF user group LSA advertisement with a
router ID field as 0.0.0.0, the switch does not process the advertisement and reboots
OSPF.
PD4-1674379381 When installing new PSU controller firmware, log messages starting with
<Crit:Kern.Critical> or <Erro:Kern.Error> may be generated by the backup
MSM and can be ignored.
PD4-1627772844 Due to the addition of new features in ExtremeXOS 12.5, BlackDiamond 8800 series
switch configurations running older management modules (MSM-G8X and MSM-48) may
run out of memory when a large number of VLANs are configured with multiple tagged
ports added for each VLAN. For example, a configuration with 4,000 VLANs and 24 ports
tagged on each VLAN is not supported. Newer BlackDiamond 8800 management
modules (MSM-48c or 8900-MSM128) are recommended for larger configurations.
PD4-1530729359 An OSPF session goes down and stays in EX_START and continues flapping to
EXCHANGE and EX_START states.
PD4-750014887 If a failover occurs during a “refresh policy” the HAL process dies on a new master MSM.
Workaround: Avoid performing a policy refresh if switching from one MSM to another.
BlackDiamond 10800 Series Switch
PD4-1659977270 A BlackDiamond 10800 switch does not forward L3 routed packets with MPLS PHP
enabled.
Workaround: Disable MPLS PHP.
