Guidelines and Limitations for GIR
•
Custom maintenance profile has to be used for custom topologies and protocols that are not supported
by automatic or system-generated profiles.
•
Before starting with maintenance, ensure that the switch is not attracting any data traffic after the switch
has been put in maintenance mode. You can use counters and statistics to ensure that there is no data
traffic on the switch.
•
Use the system mode maintenance always-use-custom-profile command when using custom profiles
to ensure that the custom profile is not overwritten by the system-generated profile.
•
Snapshot information is not copied automatically to the standby supervisor in a dual supervisor system.
•
GIR may not provide zero application traffic loss for certain topologies and configurations.
