Clarifications and Known Behaviors
ExtremeWare 7.0 Release Notes 41
Serial and Telnet Configuration
Be sure you have specified VT-100 terminal emulation within the application you are using (2125, 2126).
Be sure to maximize the telnet screen in order for automatically updating screens to display correctly
(2380).
Displaying Management Port with show port config
The show port config command will only display the “mgmt” port configuration information if the
“mgmt” port is explicitly defined in the command - i.e.,
show ports mgmt config (8604).
Auto Negotiation and 1000BaseT Ports
Note that per specification, auto-negotiation cannot be disabled on 1000Base-T ports (8867).
Switching and VLANs
Saving ip-mtu Settings
Dynamic TLS (Martini TLS) checks the MTU received from its peer in order for TLS to come to the
established state. It compares against the egress VLAN’s IP-MTU. If the egress VLAN does not have an
IP address defined, any non-default ip-mtu setting will not be saved through a switch reboot
(PD2-64084527).
FDB
Static FDB Entries and Rate-Shaping. If you create a static FDB entry on a port configured for
rate-shaping, the static entry incorrectly ages out. Static entries should not age out (PD2-97150551).
FDB Aging Timer. In ExtremeWare 6.2.0, the default value of the FDB aging timer was set to 1800
seconds on a newly configured ExtremeWare 6.2.0 switch. In ExtremeWare 6.2.1 the default value has
been changed back to 300 seconds. However, when upgrading from ExtremeWare 6.2.0 to ExtremeWare
6.2.1, the default value will remain and 1800 seconds. For upgrades from ExtremeWare 6.1.9 (or earlier)
the default value will remain 300 seconds. The FDB aging time can still be set to all previous values
(1-85QD3).
Configure Less Than 400 Ports in a VLAN
If you use the clear slot command (which flushes the FDB) when there are 256,000 or more FDB
entries, the watchdog timer can cause the switch to reboot. To avoid this, configure less than 400 ports
in a VLAN (PD2-90223209).
Cannot Delete “mgmt-1” VLAN
A VLAN created with the name “mgmt-1” cannot be deleted (1-EEUPE).
VLAN priority and STP, EDP
STP and EDP (thus ESRP and EAPS) do not transmit packets in the queue specified by the VLAN
priority (1-5HOZ9).
