Known Issues, Platform-Specific, and Feature Change Requests (CRs)

CR Number Description
General
xos0075321

DNS cache entries are not removed even after TTL expiry. New cache entry creation is not affected since entries are removed whenever a new query is received for those addresses. However, this may make the DNS cache size unwieldy.

Workaround: If the DNS cache become too large, use the command clear dns cache to clear it.
Extended Edge Switching
xos0075684 Neither show qosmonitor congestion nor show port congestion increments when there is egress congestion on a V300 bridge port extender port. Instead, you can view egress congestion using show ports rxerrors on the ingress port(upstream port in many cases).
Fabric Attach
xos0076156 When Fabric Attach authentication is configured on ports that are part of an MLAG, all ports on that MLAG must have the same Fabric Attach authentication configuration.
Insight for Guest Virtual Machines
xos0075069

You cannot access the serial console before starting a VM.

Workaround: You must start the VM, and then reboot it to gain serial console access.
xos0075388 For ExtremeSwitching X465 series switches, having an SSD-120 device inserted increases the boot time by approximately 28 seconds.
xos0075211

With the Insight for guest virtual machines feature, compatibility issues may occur when using third-party OVA files.

Workaround: Use the image format qcow2, since it is generally more reliable.
MAC Security (MACsec)
xos0073350

Hot swapping LRM/MACsec Adapters is not supported.

Workaround: MACsec must be disabled before a corresponding LRM/MACsec Adapter is hot swapped.
xos0076204 LRM/MACsec Adapter initialization might take an extended amount of time—about 40–85 seconds per adapter, plus 15–35 seconds per transceiver depending upon the platform type used with the adapter.
Security
xos0075074 On ExtremeSwitching X440-G2 and X620 series switches, when DNS cache is enabled and operational on at least one VLAN, the nmap shows ports as open or filtered.
