Known Limitations

Note the following caveats for this release of Extreme Visibility Manager.

LAG created when port channel deployment fails
Any changes to Visibility Manager configuration are reverted when a port channel deployment fails. However, even when deployment fails, a link aggregation group (LAG) is created on the device. The LAG is immediately deleted, but you will see the creation and deletion of a LAG in logs for the device.
Egress group configuration cannot be updated during migration
During the migration of MLX configuration to an Extreme 9920 device, you cannot change the configuration of an egress group. After migration is complete, you can change the configuration on the 9920, including the mapping of multiple egress to an egress group.
MLX UDA profile must be associated with an ingress group if the policy contains a UDA match
(MLX only) When you create an ingress group and associate it with an ingress policy, you must also associate the group with a UDA profile if the ingress policy contains a UDA match.
This instruction is documented in the Extreme Visibility Manager Administration and User Guide, 6.1.0 but not in the Visibility Manager online help.
Firmware upgrade requires an absolute path to image locations
In the Absolute Path field, enter the complete file path to the location of the firmware image. The following are sample file paths for the various supported devices.
  • 9920 (absolute path to the binary file): /root/TierraOS-<version>-NPB.bin
  • SLX (absolute directory path where supported image files are located): /root/slxos18s.1.03/slxos18s.1.03a
  • MLX (path to the manifest file): XMR-MLX/MLX_npb_06200_mnf.txt
This instruction is documented in the Extreme Visibility Manager Administration and User Guide, 6.1.0 but not in the Visibility Manager online help.
A device can be managed by only one instance of VM
Before adding a device, ensure that it is not managed by any other instance of Visibility Manager.
This instruction is documented in the Extreme Visibility Manager Administration and User Guide, 6.1.0 but not in the Visibility Manager online help.
Listener policy byte count is incorrect when truncation is enabled
On the Extreme 9920 device, the byte count for truncated packets is the actual byte count seen by the egress ACL before truncation.
LACP LAG is not supported for Extreme 9920 devices
Although the option to select LACP LAG appears in the Create Port Channel page, the option is grayed out. Only static LAG is supported.
Only one region is supported
This release supports the creation and management of only one region.
