System Issues 21
Software Changes
and Corrections
at 8.0.0
The following system issues and known problems have been corrected at
this release:
■ IP RIP cannot be set to active unless IP routing is enabled.
■ IP icmpRouterDiscovery cannot be enabled unless IP routing is enabled.
■ IP routing cannot be disabled unless IP RIP is not active and IP
icmpRouterDiscover is disabled.
■ The LMM+ no longer hangs when assigning an RNM probe to an ESM port.
■ The LMM+ no longer hangs in networks with excessive collisions.
■ Assigning filters to ESM ports no longer causes a system reboot.
System Issues The following system issues are identified at this release:
■ The system software does not support hot swap of FDDI Switching Modules
(FSMs) in this release.
■ 3Com recommends that you hot swap one module at a time (except FSMs,
as described in the previous System Issue). After hot swapping the module,
wait until the system completes full initialization before installing another
module. One indication that initialization is complete is that the
Administration Console prompt appears on the screen. Under certain
circumstances, hot swapping during initialization can cause a cold system
boot, disrupting bridging.
■ A maximum of 254 unique RMON Owner descriptions (etherStatsOwner,
historyControlOwner, alarmOwner, and eventOwner) can be configured.
■ Packet filtering is not available on frames that will be routed by the LANplex
system.
■ A maximum of 100 routing interfaces can be configured for all switching
modules in a single LANplex 6000 system.
■ When connected to the MBONE (the Internet’s multicast backbone) and
multicast routing is enabled, you should configure a maximum of 3 slots for
multicast routing.
■ When using the Administration Console to display all instances of a given
MAC address in a mixed Token Ring and Ethernet environment, you must
use the
find command for both the noncanonical and canonical formats.
