Software Fixes

Link-up polling interval — A delay of up to 1.7 seconds between plugging in a cable (linkbeat established) and traffic being forwarded to and from that port may cause problems with some time sensitive applications. For example, AppleTalk dynamic address negotiation can be affected, resulting in multiple devices using the same AppleTalk address.

Loop/VTP — The switch will incorrectly forward VTP packets from third party devices if that packet is received on a blocked port.

Menu — The switch may not display the complete forwarding table while performing a MAC address search.

Menu — Incorrect error message is displayed when attempting to create a VLAN which exceeds the maximum number of VLANs supported. (Fix is to display an error message similar to "VLAN limit already reached.")

Menu — Menu does not allow a port configuration change from a full-duplex/flow control setting to a half-duplex/no flow control setting.

Menu — Menu does not allow trunks to be configured on transceiver ports that have never had a transceiver installed before.

Menu/CLI — Modified help message for RSTP.Menu/VLAN — The VLAN help text has been modified

NNM/Stacking — If stacking is configured, NNM cannot discover the device as a generic switch.

Performance/Crash — Slow performance may occur when using 10/100 ports or the 100FX transceiver operating at half-duplex. And when using 100FX, Gigabit Stacking, Gigabit-SX, or Gigabit-LX transceivers operating at full-duplex (Note: The Gigabit transceivers can only operate in full-duplex mode.) This was due to the InterPacket Gap (IPG) being too long for half-duplex and too short for full-duplex. This may also result in a switch crash with a message similar to:

-> Software exception at woodyDma_recv.c:154 -- in 'eDrvPollRx' -> DMA unrecoverable error

STP — Switch does not forward STP BPDUs when STP is disabled.

STP Fast Mode — A port configured for STP fast mode behaves like a standard STP port.

STP/RSTP — Port path cost is reset even though path cost is configured for "Auto".

STP/Running-ConfigSTP path-cost is not written to the configuration when using the CLI.
