PowerConnect 3324/3348 Release Notes
Description
When Multicast traffic is transmitted via one of Static/LACP LAG one of the LAG
members is physically disconnected, all the traffic is transmitted via the second LAG
port member, but it is not forward to a client.
DVMRP frame is unidentified by IGMP Snooping.
PowerConnect 3348 does not support port mirroring from/to ports 1-24 and G1
to/from any port of another PowerConnect 3324/3348. Mirroring is also not supported
to/from G1 to/from G2 in the same PowerConnect 3348.
PowerConnect 3324/3348 storm control may practically operate with lower rate value
than defined or, in some cases, rate fluctuations may be experienced.
The negate command no port storm-control enable broadcast fastethernet does not
set the configured port back to wire speed capability.
An untagged general port which is a member of more than one VLAN changes its
PVID after reboot. The new PVID will always be the PVID of the first VLAN (lowest
number).
DHCP client may not work after reboot followed by massive VLAN configuration
(massive VLAN configuration means all ports added to all 248 VLANs).
Error may occur while attempting to bind an ACE to a MAC-based ACL.
The last remaining rule in the Profile Rules Table in Access Profiles cannot be
removed. Possible workaround is to remove it by removing the entire management
ACL from the access profiles screen.
When using the AAA authentication command, each authentication method can only
be used once however, there are no errors if this is attempted.
In ACL Bindings Table screen, performing copy from port to other selected ports
creates a refresh error.
After the refresh error, all stack ports get the result of the 'copy' action and not ports
per Unit.
PowerConnect 3324/3348 does not allow for configuring Copper gigabit port to 1000
/ half duplex using the embedded web management however, it is possible from CLI.
When creating a community in web, by default the Management Station button is set.
The web-based management allows defining community with IP. The result is that
although an error message ("You must enter a management address") is prompted
the community is still added to the community list.
When configuring via the Web-based Management Switch/Network Security/MAC
Based ACL, the new screen is "Add ACE to MAC-Based ACL", assuming an ACL
name exists, select ' Show All'. This will take you to 'ACEs associated with MAC-
ACL' screen. Assuming an 'ACE No' exists, the "ACTION" selectable pull down menu
is 'grayed out' and is not a usable feature.
A MAC address, which was learned on a reserved VLAN (VID 4089-4094, VLAN that
cannot be created by a user) is written to configuration when locking this port (can be
seen by the show running config command)
Consequently, when attempting to download this configuration file, the device does
not allow to configure reserved VLANs and the download process fails
Although the SSH is enabled by default, PowerConnect 3324/3348 do not
automatically generate and store keys.
Show startup config command shows the commands in the order in which they were
entered.
PowerConnect 3324/3348 devices are unable to download configuration file to
remote computer when interface ports range is bigger than 512 characters (line
length).
Copying extremely long configuration file using TFTP may not copy the entire
configuration contents of specific VLANs.
