Resolved Issues, Platform-Specific, and Feature Change Requests (CRs) in ExtremeXOS 16.2.3

CR Number Description
General
xos0067463 Traffic does not distribute across LSPs and LAG after enabling L2VPN sharing feature.
xos0052786 BGP aggregation command demands global unicast addresses (GUA) and does not work with IPv6 unicast addresses.
xos0054222 Unable to add second IPv6 address prefix to the network-zone after adding IPv4 address.
xos0064727
On DHCPv6 clients, sometimes the IPv6 address is not removed even after disabling the client, and after rebooting, the IPv6 address is saved and this causes the client to go into a stopped state with the following error message appearing:
<Erro:vlan.AddIPAddrFail> Failed to add IP addr 8001::4aa6:dd38:9b32:e7b/128 from DHCPv6 to VLAN client, DHCPv6 configured IPv6 address already exist on interface client
xos0064806 Switch session stops responding after configuring SSH2 pre-generated private key with a length greater than 4,064 characters.
xos0066590 In an MLAG peer when its MLAG port is down, the following error appears: "Group <ip> not found for VLAN".
xos0067055 Log message "Process exsshd sends hello too often" appears when SSH is enabled in the switch.
xos0067194 Topology change notification is not generated for the STP domain dot1d mode when there is change in the topology.
xos0067203 Multicast packets are flooded on EAPS-blocked ports after removing and then adding ports configured with PSTAG.
xos0064672 Incorrect state observed for DHCPv6 client when restarting the nettools process or rebooting the switch.
xos0064864

Switch can go into reboot loop if the length of configured SSH private key is different from the actual key stored in EEPROM. This can happen when you attempt to configure an invalid key or when loading a .cfg file containing an SSH private key from another switch onto a new switch with default setting.

To recover, at the console prompt, halt the image loading operation at the bootrom prompt, and then execute config none to bypass loading the configuration file containing the invalid or incorrect SSH private key.

Workaround: If you want to use a backup configuration (.cfg) file containing an SSH private key from a different switch, then open the configuration file in any editor and remove the “xos-module-exsshd” configuration lines. Use this edited configuration file for loading onto the new switch, and then enable SSH.
xos0066030 L2PT is not working properly after path switchover in VPWS.
xos0066386 The show configuration commands stops responding and produces an error when there is a loop in the network.
xos0066813 Service VLAN ARP packets are lifted to the CPU during MPLS swap operation when service a VLAN is configured with the IP address of the provider switch.
xos0067138 BFD is not working for IP static multicast route.
xos0063856 On enabling SSH2, switch displays key generation time as approximately 15 minutes whereas it actually takes less than one minute.
xos0067328 If you load a configuration file containing an SSH key length lesser than the actual key size stored in the switch EEPROM, the following message appears during bootup: "Enter passphrase:".
xos0063261 Warning message to "restart process exsshd" should appear when configuring SSH2 key.

xos0066630 In Summit X480 stacking, the LED for stacking port 4 is not lit even when link is active.
Summit X670 Series Switches
xos0066991 In X670V-48T switches, combo ports link up with 100 Mbps speed, which is not supported.
BlackDiamond 8800 Series Switches
xos0063558 With 8900-XL modules acting as PE nodes, traffic destined to VPLS FDB entries is flooded periodically.
SummitStack
xos0067253 IPv4 packets ingressing a non-master stack node can be dropped when the port number of the destination's ARP entry is unknown, such as when the destination is using Network Load Balancing (NLB).
