56. Illegal FC packets counted as good FC packets in Ethernet Switch Module
interface statistics
Problem A packet is identified as a good formatted 802.3x Flow Control packet if all of
the following conditions are met:



Packets received with undersize, oversize, or/and with CRC, should not be
treated as good Flow Control packets and should not be counted as such, even
if all above conditions are fulfilled. These packets should be counted according
to the specific error (undersize, oversize, jabber fragment, or CRC). However,
these illegal packets are counted as good Flow Control packets.
Implication The wrong counter is incremented by the illegal Flow Control packet.
Status No Fix.
57. Ethernet Switch Module Jumbo Frame changes not consistently being
saved
Problem In Ethernet Switch Advanced Configuration, set the Jumbo Frame to enable,
save the changes, reset the switch. Upon reboot Jumbo Frame may still be
Disabled.
Implication Customer may need to configure and reset the switch multiple times. After
making the change the customer will need to recheck the setting after a switch
reset to insure it has been set correctly.
Workaround Save settings on the jumbo frame page, save again on the switch reset page,
wait 15 seconds and go back to the jumbo frame page,make sure the jumbo
frame setting has been saved, then reset the switch on the reset page of
advanced configuration. Upon switch reboot , recheck the jumbo frame setting
to insure it is correct. If not retry the same procedure.
Status No Fix.
