Bridging, VLANs, and Spanning Trees

On J-EX Series Ethernet switches, when the VLAN with the lowest-numbered VLAN
ID is down, the show ntp associations
/usr/bin/ntpq: write to localhost failed: No route to host
[PR/466595: This issue has been resolved.]
On J-EX Series Ethernet switches, in a scaled environment with more than 4000 VLANs,
MVRP advertisements might not be sent intermittently when the VLAN membership
is modified. [PR/475701: This issue has been resolved.]
On J-EX Series Ethernet switches, having a large number of VSTP instances and RSTP
instances might cause continuous changes in the topology. As a workaround, reduce
the number of VSTP instances to fewer than 190. [PR/504719: This issue has been
resolved.]

Infrastructure

On J-EX Series Ethernet switches, MAC addresses not present in the forwarding
database (FDB) because of hash collision are not removed from the Ethernet switching
process ( ). These MAC addresses do not age out of the Ethernet switching table
eswd
even if traffic is stopped completely and are never relearned when traffic is sent to
these MAC addresses, even when there is no hash collision. As a workaround, clear
those MAC addresses from the Ethernet switching table. [PR/451431: This issue has
been resolved.]
On J-EX8200 switches, the system log messages from the line cards display the
timestamp in UTC, instead of the time zone specified in the CLI configuration.
[PR/494892: This issue has been resolved.]
On J-EX Series Ethernet switches, the
/var/log directory are deleted. To avoid this problem, use the
command to clear the log files, instead of deleting them manually. [PR/496298: This
issue has been resolved.]
On J-EX8200 switches, the
command takes a long time to display output, and the output shows incorrect values.
[PR/506031: This issue has been resolved.]

Interfaces

In a Q-in-Q tunneling configuration that includes aggregated Ethernet interfaces (LAGs),
after a process restart, the member interfaces in the VLAN might be incorrectly
pfem
set. [PR/527117: This issue has been resolved.]

J-Web Interface

In the J-Web interface, the procedure of uploading a software package to the switch
might not work properly if you are using the Microsoft Internet Explorer Web browser
version 7. [PR/424859: This issue has been resolved.]
In the J-Web interface, interfaces configured with
in the Link Aggregation Configuration page. [PR/437410: This issue has been resolved.]
