14SUPERSTACK® 3 SWITCH 3226 AND SWITCH 3250 SOFTWARE VERSION 1.02 RELEASE NOTES

Known Interoperability Issues

An incompatibility exists when changing link speed from 10 Mbps half duplex to 100 Mbps half duplex. If auto-negotiation on the Switch is disabled and the link speed on the Switch is changed from 10 Mbps half duplex to 100 Mbps half duplex, there is a possibility that the link partner will not detect the change. The link will have to be broken and reconnected before the link partner will detect the speed and change link speed to 100 Mbps half duplex.

When using LACP to form a trunk with a SuperStack 3 Switch 4400, ensure that the Switch 4400 is running the latest software release. Older versions of software occasionally fail to correctly form the trunk resulting in a network loop. Alternatively you could consider configuring the trunk manually.
