PR 93114

It is not possible to broadcast or multicast oversized ingress packets. Therefore, ingressing oversized layer 2 multicast packets are treated as unicast packets.

Workaround: There is no known workaround at this time.

PR 94866

Invalid packets with SA or DA set to all 0s continue to be bridged by system.

Workaround: There is no known workaround at this time.

PR 95125

On an OS9000, the throughput on a 1 Gbps or 10 Gbps port might be 99.998%. This is due to a variance in the oscillator; the clocking can differ by a few PPM. This variance is accepted by the IEEE standard.

Workaround: There is no known workaround at this time.

PR 95526

On an OS9000, if the admin status of the physical interface is toggled while sending high rates of traffic on the 10G interface, some CRC errors are reported on the host connected to the interface.

Workaround: There is no known workaround at this time.

PR 105079

On OS6850 combo copper ports, the link will toggle once when the SFP is plugged in the corresponding fiber cage.

Workaround: There is no known workaround at this time.

PR 105080

If a Gig Copper SFP is plugged into a combo port on an OS6850, then those combo ports can be used in forced mode only. To use a copper combo port, then set the mode to Forced-Copper. To use the Gig copper SFP in the corresponding copper port, then set the mode of the port to Forced-Fiber.

Workaround: There is no known workaround at this time.
