ExtremeWare 7.1.1 Release Notes 31
Upgrading to ExtremeWare 7.0 and Bi-Directional Rate Shaping
When you directly upgrade from ExtremeWare 6.2.2 to ExtremeWare 7.0, bi-directional rate shaping
does not work if the loopback ports were in autonegotiation mode. This behavior is not displayed by
10/100Base-T or Gigabit fiber ports. A workaround is to remove and re-add the loopback ports to the
VLAN (PD2-107820904).
Upgrading to ExtremeWare 7.0 and Debug-Trace
When you directly upgrade from ExtremeWare 6.2.2 to ExtremeWare 7.0, the debug-trace configuration
might change. Verify the debug-trace configuration, if any, after upgrading. Use the
show debug-trace
command to display the configuration. You can either re-configure manually, or download the
ExtremeWare 6.2.2 configuration instead of doing a direct upgrade (PD2-106733988).
Upgrading to ExtremeWare 7.0 and OSPF
If you upgrade directly from ExtremeWare 6.2.2 to ExtremeWare 7.0, the OSPF metric for 10 Gigabit
interfaces is incorrect. A workaround is to manually configure the OSPF metrics, or to upload the
configuration before upgrading and then download the ExtremeWare 6.2.2 configuration
(PD2-108161623).
Blank Space in show port info detail Command Output
The output of the show port info detail command contains several blank pages. The output still
contains all of the requested information (PD2-107800978).
Using an ExtremeWare 7.0 Configuration with an Earlier Image
If you are using an ExtremeWare 7.0 configuration and attempt to use an earlier image, the switch
prompts you for confirmation (because this combination is not recommended). If you answer “
n” at the
prompt, you receive the following error message:
Error: bad image.
You can safely ignore this message (PD2-110983501).
Console Response with a Large Number of ARP Entries
Console response is slow when the switch is learning 10,000 or more ARP entries. This does not affect
performance. Console response returns to normal when the entries are learned (PD2-104103941).
Configuring 1000Base-T Ports for 10,000 Mbps
The switch erroneously allows you to configure a 1000Base-T port to 10,000 Mbps. 1000Base-T ports do
not support 10,000 Mbps (PD2-108463706).
The show log chronological Command
When the syslog contains more than 1,000 lines, the show log chronological command displays
nothing. However, the command
show log displays correctly (PD2-104062736).
