Boot version 102 17/08/2006
Hardware version 1.1
-----------------------------------------------
Known Issues in this release
=============================
1. SetupÆTime
The prioritization between servers is not maintained when two servers are configured
simultaneously.
2. SNMP ÆGroup Profile
(a) After editing an existing group, it is not possible to select a security model for a new
group.
Recommended Workaround: Refresh the page prior to attempting to add a new group,
after editing an existing one.
3. Admin ÆFirmware Upgrade
When downloading via tftp or http, performing Power off/on to the device may result in
requirement for downloading the image via XMODEM after the device recovers. When
downloading via XModem, the device recovers by itself.
Note: Avoid disconnecting the device from a power source during image upload
4. Timestamps
(a) The order of the month and day in the dates presented in syslog messages is the
European format (dd/mm/yy), and not the US format.
(b) SNMP traps are sent with a timestamp different from the actual time on the device,
since the timestamp depends on the NMS configuration. The sequence is preserved.
5. Virtual Cable Testing of Cable Length on FE Ports
Virtual Cable Testing cannot be executed on FE ports to determine the length of the port.
6. ACL ÆMAC Based ACL
Creating a MAC ACL with to permit ethertype 0800 causes all traffic to be forwarded.
Recommended Workaround: To avoid these situations, add a rule to deny any any.
7. QoS ÆAdvanced Mode
(a) When configuring a policy with police - exceeded action - out of profile dscp, the
policy must have an action: trust cos-dscp or set dscp. If you configure a policy with
police - exceeded action - out of profile dscp without an action - the device configures the
action to trust cos-dscp. If you configure a policy with police - exceeded action - out of
profile dscp with an action set cos/queue, the device configures the action to set dscp 0.

8. SNMPÆViews
Pressing up/down buttons reloads the screen - unsaved data is lost.
9. Statistic ÆRmon alarm
Set Rmon Alarm for GVRP results in an Error message.
10. SecurityÆ802.1x
In case of a port setting to auto mode with authentication to Radius server and Action on
Violation to discard on this port, then if an unknown MAC address are transmitted then
the number of Violations counter is not changing.
11. Web browser availability
The web management interface is best viewed using Internet Explorer 5.5 and up, with a
resolution of 1024 x 768. In the current software version, certain pages cannot be viewed
well using other browsers. It is recommended to apply the following workarounds.
Note: Internet Explorer web browser must be installed prior to running the following
procedures.
12. Illegal characters in web inteface
Use of the following characters should be avoided when configuring using the web based
interface: \ / : * ? < > |
13. Menu CLI - Disable Active Management Access Profile
This software version does not support Management ACL, so this option is irrelevant to
the user. It is reserved for future use. "disable active mgmt access profile" is not working
in menu console.
14. User name with blank password
Configuration of a username with a blank password reduces security of the device. Any
password can be entered, and will be accepted in the absence of a user-configured
password. Note that the default user name is “admin”. This user name does not have a
password associated with it. It is recommended to configure a password for the default
user.
15. QoS ÆAdvanced Mode
Setting of an Action for CoS value assignment to a specific queue under a Policy, doesn't
ensure traffic forwarding according to the interface to policy binding.
16. MIB Limitations
No statistics are being returned for SNMP variable ifOutErrors and ifOutQLen when
probing.
17. Web GUI
GUI doesn't work only if there is only one user "Admin". Menu CLI works.
If you change the username to Admin1 or anything else, it works.
If you have another user name or names in addition to Admin, then it works too.
