Documented issue
ACG configuration files do not save LLDP information successfully.
Resolved.
No useful error message appears when you try to enable ECMP or
OSPF on the JDM without the software license. You cannot, however,
enable ECMP or OSPF without the license.
Workaround: Upload the license using the CLI prior to globally
enabling ECMP or OSPF on the JDM. Resolved.
The switch allows you to change rate limiting on active DMLT ports
while one or more units having DMLT members are down. However,
Nortel recommends you avoid configuration changes of any kind while
some units (with DMLT members) are down, as you may experience
unexpected results. Resolved.
Proprietary TLV is not available for MLT, however 802.3 link
aggregation is supported. Resolved.
There is no message or information provided after you download the
software license file using the Web interface. You will not receive
notification that the license has loaded successfully or not. Note that
you must reset the switch for the license to be activated. Resolved.
When you open the license download page using the Web-based
interface, there is no help file information in the configuration section
for loading the license file. Resolved.
Avoid enabling Nortel SNA on a brouter port—the port is not added
to the Red VLAN in this case. Release 5.0 does not support Nortel
SNA on a brouter port. Resolved.
OSPF virtual link is not supported in release 6.0. Any display for this
feature is strictly informational. Resolved.
For Release 5.0, ensure you set LACP timeout to "Long" if you have
more than eight LACPs and eight links per LACP. Resolved.
A root is not elected on an MLT if the VID for an MLT port belongs to a
VLAN for an inactive MSTI. Ensure the PVID belongs to a VLAN for
an active MSTI. This is related to a hardware limitation. Resolved.
Note that the JDM displays information for RIP Poison enable/disable
inconsistently.
Workaround: Use the CLI. Resolved.
If using OSPF MD5 authentication, note that in the case of
authentication failure, only the enterprise-specific traps are logged
to the syslog. Resolved.
For release 6.0, you cannot load the software license file from a USB
device. Resolved.
After entering any other command, wait at least twenty (20) seconds
before using the copy config nvram command.
Additionally, Nortel recommends that you avoid using the copy
config nvram command in ASCII configuration files. Resolved.
