System Issues 29

VLANs

Removing the default VLAN before you create additional VLANs no

 

longer causes modules to go down after a module reset. Previously,

 

you had to move the module to another slot in the chassis to

 

reinitialize. (26223)

 

Previously, in some configurations, the system did not allow the proper

 

number of VLANs to be defined, causing an out-of-resources

 

message. The system now allows correct VLAN definition. (27137)

 

 

System Issues

This section describes operating considerations that apply to Layer 2

 

switching module operational software Release 3.0.

 

The numbers that appear in parentheses at the end of some descriptions

 

are for internal 3Com use only.

Staging

You cannot stage a module in one chassis type and then move this

 

module to another chassis type, due to variations in the backplane

 

port mapping.

System

The 36-port 10/100BASE-TX Desktop Switching Modules (Model

 

Numbers 3CB9LF36RL and 3CB9LF36TL) are designed to switch traffic

 

among desktop workstations that are connected to wiring closets. Do

 

not connect the module’s front-panel ports to routers, switches, or

 

network hubs. You can connect a small repeater (only) if you stay

 

within the address limits of the port. (The default limit is two

 

addresses.)

 

When you move a module from one chassis to another, the

 

configuration of the module remains intact. (27113)

 

After you enter an nvdata reset command (or initiate a trunk group

 

definition or deletion), there is a delay before the module initiates the

 

reset and returns to the Administration Console.

 

When you first insert and initialize a Gigabit Ethernet Layer 2

 

Switching Module in a CoreBuilder 9000 chassis, the primary switch

 

fabric module in the chassis generates the trap sequence: Link Up...

 

Link Down... Link Up. This is normal.
