CR Number Description
ExtremeSwitching X620 Series Switches
xos0072580 For ExtremeSwitching X620 series switches, after applying policy configuration changes with disable policy and enable policy on a LAG master port that is in down state, NetLogin authentication may fail on the port.
Workaround: Run the command clear netlogin state port LAG master port to reinstate NetLogin on the port.
BGP Auto-peering
xos0072783 VLAN process ends unexpectedly when disabling all remote VXLAN tunnel end points using the command disable virtual-network remote-endpoint vxlan all.
Extended Edge Switching
xos0072443 With mirroring configuration, the following error appears when rebooting 1st tier bridge port extender (BPE) in an Extended Edge Switching topology:
<Erro:HAL.Mirror.Error> Slot-1: Failed to add mirroring source 162:1 on unit 0, Invalid port
<Erro:HAL.Mirror.Error> Slot-1: Failed to add mirroring source 161:1 on unit 0, Invalid port
xos0072839
In a topology with redundant controlling bridges (CBs) with attached MLAG'd bridge port extenders (BPEs) connected on regular ports, and a non-MLAG'd BPE that is connected on a 40G port, if you perform the following steps:
  1. Unconfigure the CBs to trigger Extended Edge Switching full automation.
  2. Configure port partition on the 40G port (4 × 10G).
  3. Reboot the CB with the non-MLAG'd BPE.
  4. Enable auto-configuration, if required.
The non-MLAG BPE remains in the booting state and times out with the error similar to the following:

xos0072936 When using Extended Edge Switching full automation with multiple controlling bridge (CB) MLAG peer candidates, automation stops (as designed), but displays errors due to clean-up effort that involves deleting non-existent VLANs.
Workaround: Have only one CB MLAG candidate connected when using full automation, or use partial-automation (have configuration on the CB, configure MLAG peer, and then issue the command enable vpex auto-configuration.
Diagnostics
xos0072841

Operational diagnostics version 3.0 for ONIE series switches (released with ExtremeXOS 22.6) may fail to run due to a hardware watchdog expiration prior to the diagnostics application taking over the watchdog.

Since the 3.0 version of diagnostics is only required for ExtremeSwitching X590 series switches, you can leave the previous version 2.6 installed on ExtremeSwitching X870 or X690 series switches and continue to use that version.

Workaround: For installations that are already upgraded to 3.0 using the 22.6 diagnostics XMOD, and see this issue, two workarounds are possible:
  • Run diagnostics and monitor progress. If diagnostics reboots the switch before running, the watchdog is disabled after reboot, and the switch reboots to the GRUB menu. Manually select primary or secondary diagnostics from the GRUB menu to run the operational diagnostics.
  • Power cycle the switch and select primary or secondary diagnostics from the GRUB menu instead of EXOS. Diagnostics run before ExtremeXOS can enable the watchdog function.
NetLogin
xos0070151 Profile changes made through Change of Authorization (CoA) are applied to the authenticator, but not to remote peer using NetLogin and MLAG, so that the peer entry remains in the old profile.
Workaround: Use SNMP instead of CoA with Captive Portal feature.
Optics
xos0072483 ExtremeSwitching X690, X870 and X590 series switches do not support 100G Optic/AOC cables on stacking ports.
VXLAN
xos0072043 On an unconfigured switch, adding a static route by a VXLAN tunnel with traffic flowing may cause a warning message in the log. The condition is harmless and can be ignored. There will be about a dozen messages in the log, with the main identifying message being similar to:
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: <XYZ> at kernel/softirq.c:146 __local_bh_enable_ip+0x7a/0xa0()
Workaround: Save the configuration, and then reboot.
xos0071205 On Summit X670-G2 and X770 series switches, when using scripts to issue OSPF commands, OSPF takes longer to arrive, and stay, in full state with 2K virtual networks after rebooting.
xos0071204 On Summit X670-G2 and X770 series switches, when creating/discovering a large number of VXLAN remote termination endpoints (RTEPs), the start of forwarding of broadcast traffic might be delayed.
