Issue
Description
Name Server client (NSCL) APIs hang while
querying fo
r symbolic names.
When an F-por
t is connected remotely, the symbolic name for the port
is unavailab
le.
Multi-protocol Router panic, c ore files are
truncated.
Core files are created, but truncated due to a lack of file space. A new CLI
command has been created. Use setcorepath to set a path to a file system
large enough to save core files. This d irectory can be located on either
the switch’s internal file system or an external file system mounted via NFS.
Unable to configure IP addresses on GigE
port.
Unable to configure 10.20.x.x IP address on GbE ports using WebTools
on XPath OS 7.4.1a or 7.4.1b.
Multi-pro
tocol Router panic and reboot.
On an MP Rou
ter running XPath OS 7.4.1a, iswitchd (the FCR daemon)
might experience a segmentation fault.
Multi-protocol Router running XPath OS
7.4.1b, GbE ports have duplicate MAC
addresses.
The portshow command output shows the same MAC address assigned
to two G bE ports on the switch.
Unexplained Multi-protocol Router reboots.
With extremely high I/O loads on long distance E-Ports (LD mode),
subsequently transmitted out via an EX-Por t, may result in the Multi-protocol
Router to panic and reboot.

managem
ent daemon crashes.
The sysl
og misses the complete log history of the current boot when
a daemon
crashes.
