Clarifications and Known Behaviors
ExtremeWare 7.0 Release Notes 37
• Installed ATM, MPLS, ARM, and PoS modules
• Mirroring
• IPX routing
• Static FDB entries
If the switch reaches the limit of available port tags, the following messages appear in the syslog:
<WARN:HW> tNetTask: Reached maximum otp index allocation
<WARN:HW> tBGTask: Reached maximum otp index allocation
If this occurs, you must compromise some features (for example, mirroring) in order to expand your use
of other functionality. (1-E5U7Y).
BlackDiamond
MPLS Hello Packets
MPLS hello packets are sent every 5 seconds, regardless of the configured value (PD2-131214401).
Slot Failure Messages During a Broadcast Storm
If you have more than 15 Gigabit Ethernet links between two chassis, all in the same VLAN and
generating a broadcast storm, the system health check records slot failures in the log. When the
broadcast storm stops, the log messages also stop (PD2-117946811).
Hot-Inserting an MSM Disrupts MPLS and ARM Modules
If you hot-insert a second MSM, some IP traffic being forwarded through MPLS and ARM modules is
halted. You must reboot the modules to restart the lost traffic flow (PD2-130167901).
No Image Information Reported to SNMP with One MSM
If you only install an MSM in slot B of a BlackDiamond 6804, BlackDiamond 6808, or BlackDiamond
6816, no primary or secondary image information is reported to your SNMP NMS (PD2-129612901).
MPLS and CPU DoS Protect
If you enable CPU DoS protect on an BlackDiamond with an MPLS module, ICMP traffic is blocked. To
work around this, disable MPLS before you enable CPU DoS protect (PD2-119097601).
Duplicate Precedence Rules
If you create an ACL rule with the same precedence as an existing rule, an error message warns you of
the duplication. However, the rule is still created. You must delete the rule with the duplicate
precedence and recreate it with a unique precedence (PD2-116540055).
BlackDiamond 6816 MSM C and D Diagnostics Messages not in Syslog
If you run diagnostics on an MSM in slot C or D of a BlackDiamond 6816, messages are not recorded in
the syslog. To view the diagnostics messages, use the
show diagnostics command (PD2-118049501).
