Defect ID:
DEFECT000488202
Technical Severity:
High
Probability:
Medium
Product:
FOS
Technology:
Distance
Reported In Release:
FOS7.1.0
Technology Area:
IPsec
Closed In Release(s):
FOS7.2.1a(Fixed)
Symptom:
FCIP Circuit bounces due to replay checks when running IPSec with unidirectional traffic from the
lower order IP address to the higher IP address on the circuit.
Condition:
This issue may occur only when traffic is always flowing from the lower order IP address to the
higher order IP address on an FCIP circuit.
Workaround:
Run traffic from the higher order IP address to the lower order IP address on the FCIP circuit.

Technology:
Traffic Management
Reported In Release:
FOS7.1.0
Technology Area:
Routing
Closed In Release(s):
FOS7.2.1a(Fixed)
Symptom:
If a customer has more than 8 paths (E-ports and/or E-port trunks) between two switches or if the
paths are of unequal bandwidth, then those paths may not have ports evenly distributed across them,
as seen in topologyshow.
Condition:
This occurs under the following conditions:
- When there are more than 8 E-ports/Eport Trunks between two switches.
- When the E-ports/E-port Trunks between two switches are not the same bandwidth.
Workaround:
Remove the conditions causing the problem:
1. Make all E-ports/E-port trunks be the same bandwidth.
2. If after doing 1) there are still more than 8 paths, then equally increase the bandwidth on the
other E-ports/E-port Trunks by reducing the number of them. Again, the bandwidth must be
equal.
Recovery:
Same as the Workaround.

Reported In Release:
FOS7.2.1
Technology Area:
Encryption
Closed In Release(s):
FOS7.2.1a(Fixed)
Symptom:
I/O to encrypted tape LUNs halted unexpectedly.
Condition:
When multiple tape handles got queued up which eventually prevented the processing of new
commands from hosts.
Recovery:
Deleting and re-creating the CTC's

Technology:
Traffic Management
Reported In Release:
FOS7.1.1
Technology Area:
BB Credits
Closed In Release(s):
FOS7.2.1a(Fixed)
Symptom:
Detect CRC error with good EOF on C-port(0) and on C-port(8); This could trigger buffer credit loss
on these ports.
Condition:
It happens with Slot 2 port 0 and port 8 of a DCX4s with FC8-48 port cards installed in slot 2.
Recovery:
Manually tune both the port card port and the core blade ports with different values.
