response times to ICMP 
ping requests in a 12 unit 
stack are larger than for 
stack master 
No user impact expected.  Observed occasional 
outlier response time up to 500 ms for stack 
members in a large stack configuration with 
heavy traffic. Average response time is well 
under 100 ms for stack members. All response 
times are well within ping limits. 
Issue with protocol based 
VLAN configuration 
migration. 
The command vlan protocol group required a 
string parameter in earlier versions; now it 
requires an integer parameter. 
The software recognizes if the group name is 
alphanumeric, however it will not work when 
the name of the group is numeric (for example 
2, 3, etc.). 
Read/write user allowed 
read only access when 
authentication method is 
used as TACACS. 
The user always gets Read-Only access if using 
TACACS as a means for HTTP authentication, 
even if the TACACS user is Read/Write capable. 
User can configure the same TACACS user 
locally and use LOCAL authentication method 
for HTTP. The user will be able to get access 
based on the local user access level (Read-write 
or Read-only). 
Generic failure message is issued. 
Administrators can ping the TFTP server from 
the switch. Administrators should ensure the 
TFTP server is available, the requested file is 
available, and the permissions are set correctly. 
CLI command stack-port 
config rejection does not 
display the cause. 
If a user enters an invalid interface, a generic 
error message is issued. 
Utilize the show stack-port command to 
identify stack port configuration issues. 
 The 'acct-port' command 
does not have 'no' 
version. 
 The user can configure the acct-port to the 
default using the positive form of the command 
Configure the acct-port to the default using the 
acct-port 1813 command in Radius accounting 
mode. 
Non-configuration file 
getting loaded to startup-
config through HTTP. 
Switch does not utilize invalid configuration file 
information. Earlier versions of startup-config are 
not available for fallback when overwritten with 
an invalid startup-config. 
 In this case, an invalid configuration file was 
downloaded (on purpose) via the web. When 
the switch rebooted, it detected that the 
configuration file was invalid and overwrote 
the start-up config with the default 
configuration (an empty configuration). Users 
are advised to maintain off-line copies of 
switch configurations. 
A v6 ping with the v4 
header destination address 
set to 224.0.0.2 (all routers 
addr) is not responded to.
 
Users are not able to ping over 6to4 tunnels using 
IPv6 addresses. 
Users can send pure IPv4 pings to the other end 
of the tunnel. 
Certain packets match 
system rules that elevate 
the priority for protocol 
packets. 
Packets may be transmitted out of order when 
using priority flow control. Additionally, if the 
queue that the packets are put on is not enabled 
for lossless PFC, then the packets can be 
transmitted even when the port was told to pause. 
This may have an effect on connections that 
expect packet order to be maintained, e.g. FCoE. 
None.
