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

CR Number Description
Policy
xos0065208 FDB learning using admin profile without NetLogin still has "n" (= NetLogin) flag set in the output of the show fdb command.
Extended Edge Switching
xos0070981

In Extended Edge Switching setup, policy hardware install rule errors appear when users are authenticated on extended LAG ports with tci-overwrite enabled:

# FAILURE: Placing in simulated TcamHW: Rule Id 0 addr=0x70aa17e0 Begin:
 Unit=0 Pri=1048577 BcmPri=9437311 Type=10=Policy Profile Compress=0 numCreated=0 numInstalled=0
xos0069606 When traffic with VLAN ID 0 and a priority are received on untagged ports (by extended port), VLAN priority is reset to 0 on egress tagged ports on L2 VLANs..
xos0069648 Egress ACLs only match known (not unknown) unicast traffic.
Workaround: Apply ACL on ANY.
xos0069697 Egress mirroring of L3 traffic is not working; however, egress mirroring of L2 traffic is working.
xos0069859 OSPF hello packets are not forwarded by ExtremeSwitching X670-G2 series switches (as controlling bridge) on L2 VLANs. Consequently, OSPF neighborship is not established.
Workaround: Create an L3 interface on the switch by assigning IP address to the VLAN.
xos0069877
Temporary errors appear after enabling, and then disabling, jumbo frames on CB:
<Erro:HAL.Port.Error> Slot-1: pibL3MTUExceededInstallFilter(): Could not add action to send to CPU on 1:1, unit 0 (Table full).
 <Erro:HAL.Port.Error> Slot-1: pibL3MTUExceededInstallFilter(): Could not add action to send to CPU on 1:3, unit 0 (Table full)
 <Erro:HAL.Port.Error> Slot-1: pibL3MTUExceededInstallFilter(): Could not add action to send to CPU on 1:4, unit 0 (Table full).
VRRP
xos0071167 When a large number of ARP routes are sent to a switch with VRRP host-mobility enabled, it can take a while for all of the routes to appear in the route table due to a limitation of host-mobility of learning routes at 100 per second.
VXLAN
xos0070974

Due to a hardware limitation, congestion occurs with packet drop when VXLAN unknown L2 unicast traffic is received and sent to 10G port even though only approximately half the bandwidth is being used.
