Documentation Corrections - Avaya ERS 8600 Manual


The ERS 1600 will not pass IP packets that contain a received IP header checksum value of 0xffff. The ERS
8600 E/M modules will potentially create and pass such packets. The RFC regarding this area of operation is
not 100% clear as to how a product should behave, and what is valid. Therefore it is now recommended to not
connect an ERS 1600 running in L3 operation to the egress port of an E/M module of an ERS 8600, to avoid
the potential for this situation to be seen. If seen, the application will fail, as the required packet passing will
always be dropped. In these situations, the user must now design their network differently (such as use R/RS
modules instead), and not at Avaya's expense. (Q02154661)

It is not good practice to pull master CP card in HA-CPU environments. The recommended way is to
failover to the standby before removing the "old" master CP.

It is not good practice to pull all CP out of the chassis and re-insert them WITHOUT power cycling
the box.
