Issues resolved
The following is a list of issues resolved in the current firmware release.
Title Description
Management Station Loses
Communication to Stack after
Master Unit Failure.
When a management station is connected to a stack, which undergoes a
master failover, so that the backup unit takes over, connectivity to the stack
may be lost. The backup unit does take over the IP address of the stack,
but the management station cannot communicate with the stack using the
management IP address. This is due to the fact that the management
station associates the management station’s IP address with the MAC
address of the “old” Master unit. The management station does not update
its ARP table, unless the ARP cache of the management station is deleted.
Configuration file with PVLAN
cannot be copied to startup.
It is not possible to copy a configuration file from a TFTP server to the
startup configuration, when PVLAN is configured.
Native VLAN display.
The switch mistakenly displays native VLANs as if they are configured for
all ports, instead of a specified range of ports.
Display of configured LACP
Channels.
The CLI global command "show interfaces port-channel" displays
information for inactive LAG port-channels is displayed, but does not show
information for configured and inactive LACP port-channels. Ports that are
members of the LAG that are not displayed in the WBI, if they are down (no
link).Use the channel-group 1 mode auto Interface Configuration command
to configure a port as a candidate to dynamically join a LAG (using LACP).
These ports are not displayed as LAG members if the interface is down.
WBI Stacking Port Information
The network management GUI does not show the stacking port information.
Known Restrictions and Limitations

Broadcast Storm Control
Ranges
Storm control rates refer to the average number of frames over a period of
time. This period of time decreases as the configured rate increases. For
example, configuring a rate of 70 kbps results in a rate of 70 kbps over an
average of 1 minute. From rate of 100 it becomes steady.

Queue Settings on
Cascaded/Stacked Ports
Every port can be set to be either Strict Priority or WRR. This applies to
cascading and stacking ports as well. In order to be able to handle high
priority traffic across the cascaded links. From an implementation
perspective cascaded ports are set to SP. Unicast traffic was assigned to
the high priority queue. Therefore, if Unicast traffic is sent at wire-speed, it
is prioritized over broadcast traffic to the CPU. This is not a real-life
scenario, but should be noted in the Release Notes.
