CUSTOMER RELEASE NOTES
Known Issues in Previous Releases
The CLI allows the user to create conflicting rate limiting configurations.
Auto negotiation cannot be disabled on ports 45-46-47-48 on the C2G124-48 and C2G124-48P. This restriction
also means that those ports cannot be manually set to a specific speed and duplex.
After setting the port to 10 MB full duplex, if the switch is reset, the port will come up as 100 full.
Policy roles and rules cannot be applied to ports that are members of a link aggregation group.
When the user tries to add a LAG port that hasn't been created to a policy profile that has been configured, an
error message is returned, but it does not show up in the policy rule table.
When a policy profile is set and rules are added, and then ports are added to the policy, a message is returned.
This message is also seen when the stack is rebooted.
Users who have not yet been authenticated using PWA ―auto mode‖ are allowed to ping the switch IP.
There is an occasional problem where the web authentication logout screen is not displayed. The user is indeed
logged out, but the logout screen is not displayed.
Entering the boot menu without specific instructions from technical support can cause unexpected behavior in the
switch.
When PWA ―gueststatus‖ is enabled (set to ―authnone‖), the guest defined by ―guestname‖ can login, but other
valid users cannot.
ARP frames are dropped unless a policy explicitly permits ARP frames to pass.
Dynamic MAC address locking will learn a MAC address on a continual basis if a learned MAC address is moved
to another port.
Setting MAC locking ―first arrival‖ to ―0‖ does not deny the first MAC address learned on a port from passing
traffic.
When a new member stack is added to a switch and the new member does not have the same software installed
as the stack manager, a mismatch message will appear. To update the unit, the user must copy the new software
to the new member switch via the CLI. The command ―set switch copy-fw‖ will copy the image onto all units
whose image does not match the manager. The stack must then be reset once this command has finished
executing for the command to take effect.
If there is an image mismatch or configuration mismatch between stack members, those member units whose
configuration and/or version do not match the switch will not join the stack. The user must use the ―set switch
copy-fw‖ command to copy the image onto the member units (as stated above). If the configurations do not
match, they must clear the configuration on the stack and reconfigure the stack.
A VLAN cannot be disabled via CLI and/or WebView, SNMP must be used.
Configuration is saved locally to the manager of the stack every two minutes. Propagation of the configuration to
the other stack units occurs on across the stack every 30 minutes. If changes have been made, they will not be
persistent 30 minutes has expired and the config is copied to all members' NVRAM. A user can initiate the device
to immediately propagate a copy of the configuration to all stack members by executing the command ―save
config‖ or by executing a manual reset by using the ―reset‖ command. A manual reset of the stack using the reset
command will force the configuration to be saved to all units and then will reset the stack.
IGMP snooping cannot be controlled via WebView.
The ―show logging buffer‖ command, by default, will now only show ―critical‖ failures and user login/logout
timestamps. This setting can be modified.
WebView does not allow a FID to be mapped to a SID. This function is supported via SNMP and CLI.
Policy rule precedence is not working properly with an ―ethertype‖ rule mapped to a VLAN and an IP protocol type
rule conflict. The ip protocol type rule has precedence over the ―ethertype‖ rule, but the device does not enforce
this precedence properly.
The C2 has the ability to classify packets to a particular VLAN based on Receive Port and by Ethertype. In order
to take advantage of the Ethertype VLAN classification type, the switch hardware must be of a specific revision or
higher. The revision information is included in the table below.
C2G124-48, C2G124-48P
HW Revision Level 0C (zero C) and above
C2G124-24, C2H124-48, C2H124-48P
HW Revision Level 0A (zero A) and above
Web Authentication does not support accounting.
