Known problems and limitations
The following problems are known to exist in version B.11.31.1209:
• Display of VPD data returns error status
Severity: Low
On certain cards, the following lanadmin and nwmgr commands for returning Vital Product
Data (VPD) may return an error status (Warning: VPD checksum failed). The data has been
collected successfully but is not displayed.
lanadmin –x vpd PPA
nwmgr –g –q vpd –c lanPPA
Workaround: None. HP plans to correct this problem in a future release of the 10GigEthr-03
bundle.
• Problems occur when using SNAP (Sub-Network Access Protocol) encapsulation with VLANs.
(QXCR1001061473)
Severity: Medium
SNAP encapsulation enables protocols such as TCP/IP to use an IEEE802.3 SNAP header.
This protocol works correctly for non-VLAN devices. For VLAN devices, when a minimum size
SNAP packet is received and the VLAN tag is removed, the device incorrectly flags the packet
as undersized and discards it.
Workaround: None. This problem might be corrected in a future release of the 10GigEthr-03
bundle.
