10 Recommendations and feature-specific information about release 2.0.7.8
Clarification on MLT/STP pathcost
This section clarifies MLT/STP pathcost when adding or removing ports in a MLT
group.
• When adding ports to a MLT group configured with default pathcost, the
pathcost value is equally distributed among the MLT ports; the higher the
number of ports in a MLT, the lesser the path cost.
• When the pathcost value of any one MLT port is administratively configured,
or if a port with an administratively configured pathcost is added to a MLT
group, the remaining MLT ports exhibit the same pathcost value.
• When removing a port from a MLT group, the pathcost value of all the ports
in a MLT revert to the default value. (Q00072320)
Disabling IPX NetBIOS propagation
With the release of Passport 1000 Series switch software version 2.0.4 and higher,
you can disable IPX NetBIOS (type 20) propagation. You can enable or disable
IPX NetBIOS (type 20) propagation globally, that is, on all IPX interfaces in the
entire chassis.
You can configure this feature using the CLI. The CLI command to enable or
disable IPX NetBIOS (type 20) propagation is
config ipx set netbios <on/off>
To view the current state of IPX NetBIOS propagation, use the
info
212629-A
command.
Note: The option to enable or disable IPX NetBIOS propagation is
associated with IPX routing, so it is relevant only to switches with the
ARU3 module (Rev B) and with IPX enabled.
