The Legacy CLI is no longer supported in this release except for the
following command that allows you to implement a new
configuration to disable the power saving mode of the Phy chip
(refer to the Frames Transmitted with Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC)
Errors section on page 3 under Known Problems and Workarounds:
> port set DisablePowerSave <port> on
The switch may lose a small number of DVMRP neighbor-to-
neighbor probe messages which may cause multicast routing
instability under heavy loads.
When a tagged IEEE 802.1Q packet arrives on a port that is set to
"bind-to-all" and the VLAN does not exist on the switch, the packet
is forwarded to that port's default VLAN.
To prevent unintended forwarding of unknown VLAN traffic to the
port's default VLAN, configure the port default VLAN to "discard".
* Note: Automatic VLAN creation does not work if the port default
VLAN is "discard", because the switch does not learn this
VLAN.
Hunt groups can only consist of all layer 2 or all layer 3
modules. Hunt groups do not support a mixture of layer 2
and layer 3 modules.
When 48-port mode is enabled on the switch, you can
configure a maximum of thirteen hunt groups on the switch.
When a large number of VLANs or endstations are on a hunt group,
it may take several seconds for the link status LED to change upon
failure.
