PR 59745
Due to the time required for the aging check, the aging-time is not very accurate for small measures of
time, i.e. under 1 minute on an OS7000 series switch.
Workaround: There is no known workaround at this time.
PR 64506
When the amount of MACs on an OS6624/6648 switch reaches 85% of 16K, the fast aging mechanism
will start to age out all of the MACs faster.
Workaround: There is no known workaround at this time.
PR 68045
ARP replies are sent best effort on an OS6624/6648 switch. This might possibly result in a loss of ARP
resolution on adjacent switches while routing over links experiencing sustained congestion.
Workaround: On the adjacent device, add a static ARP entry for the MAC address / IP address of the
routing instance.
PR 69257
Unable to view a statically assigned source MAC address in the table.
Workaround: The command line interface displays these values just fine and all entries created with
WebView can be verified via a telnet session.
PR 72646
On an OS7000/8800 switch, the MAC is learned on the port wherever the MAC is seen on a link aggre-
gate port, because the NI does not have a link aggregation concept at the ingress side. So, the MAC is
already learned on the port which this MAC is seen on.
Workaround: There is no known workaround at this time.
PR 74790
There is a limit to the number of protocols that can be processed efficiently on a single mobile port.
Workaround: Limit protocol-based mobility rules, protocol rule, port-protocol rule, or MAC-port-proto-
col rule to 5 different protocols per port.
PR 76491
The aging process in the case of disabled VLANs is not the same on an OS6600 series switch as it is on
the OS7000 and OS8000 switches. This is due to the architectural difference between the software running
in those switches.
Workaround: There is no known workaround at this time.
