Known Issues 
The following are all the outstanding known issues from previous releases. The issues listed here may have been discovered on 
any of the switches listed on the title page. 
Release 5.1.0.1 
Summary   User Impact  Workaround 
Molex QSPF DAC Cable 
with part number 
111040-1104 does not 
comply with QSFP 
specification SFF-8436. 
These cables do not 
support 'voltage' 
diagnostics.  
Voltage is displayed as 0.00 instead of "N/A" for 
this diagnostic parameter. 
Ignore the voltage displayed field for this part 
or use a SFF-8436 compliant cable. 
<Username> Command 
Missing  
The “show aaa ias-users [username]” command 
seems to have been deprecated even though it 
still exists in the CLI guide. 
The same information can be seen within the 
running configuration of the switch with the 
“show running-config” command. 
fail when logging level is 
default  
PowerConnect 7048 switches that are setup to 
send email alerts for log messages at the default 
level can produce the following log message: 
 
Email Send Failed! No of Email sends Failed So 
Change the email logging level to something 
other than default, i.e. informational alerts. The 
switch will then send the alerts with no issues. 
provisioned ports in 
stacked environment.  
The Web UI seems to be saving the configuration 
for pre-provisioned ports but when the stack is 
reloaded the configuration for these ports are no 
longer correct. 
traffic occasionally 
forwarded onto internal 
ports 
Occasionally external CDP/ISDP packets are 
being forwarded to the internal ports.  This 
results in confusing information from the blade 
server point of view as multiple directly 
connected neighbors appear to be seen. 
cease sending multicast 
are timed out and 
removed from the 
multicast forwarding 
cache after 150 seconds 
If an intermittent multicast source that has been 
aged out of the multicast forwarding cache 
begins sending again before the corresponding 
S,G entry has timed out at the RP (185 seconds 
per RFC 4601), any *,G entries (joined hosts) 
may take up to one IGMP Query interval to begin 
receiving the multicast stream. 
The default IGMP query interval is 125 
seconds. In practice, this situation is very 
unlikely to occur as a multicast source that fails 
to send even one packet for 150 seconds is 
unlikely to start sending packets before the S,G 
entry at the RP times out.
