IXIA Scriptmate automates auto-negotiation test. Hence, the timing for enabling port (PHY and MAC)
between IXIA and an OS8800 switch is different. Since the OS8800 switch does not accumulate statistics
before the port is enabled, there is a chance to have statistics mismatch between IXIA and the switch.
Workaround: There is no known workaround at this time.

PR 72271
When building a new stack using up and running standalone units on an OS6624/OS6648 switch, the
system may experience multiple unit reboots and takeovers, which might leave the stack in an unstable
state.
Workaround: Never connect together, or add running standalone units to a stack. Always turn the standa-
lones off, connect them to the stack, and then turn them on.

If a port on an OS7000 series switch is disconnected and reconnected while sending traffic from a traffic
generator at a high rate, the port does not become active until the traffic rate decreases.
Workaround: Stop the traffic for a moment before restarting the traffic generator.
