System Usage Notes
ID and Title Description
RN-00000-F-086. The supported
Web browsers and platforms.
The web management interface of the device supports Microsoft Internet
Explorer Version 6.0.
RN-00000-F-204. Idiosyncrasy of
the VPT to Queue mapping table.
The device allows simultaneous mapping of multiple VLAN Priority Tags
(VPT) values to a single output queue (via the CLI command “wrr-queue
cos-map”, for example). However, We recommend that you always map
one VPT to one queue, rather than mapping multiple VPTs to a single
queue.
RN-00000-R-053. Deleting VLAN
interface with the attached Access
Control List (ACL).
The device allows deletion of a VLAN interface even if it has an Access
Control List (ACL) bound to it. Deletion of the VLAN interface results in
automatic unbinding of the attached ACL. If/when, the VLAN interface is
re-created in the device; the ACL will be automatically re-bound to the
VLAN interface.
Here is an illustration of the above description:
1) Create VLAN 2.
2) Create a dummy ACL X
3) Bind the ACL X to VLAN 2.
4) View the ACL binding table – the association between VLAN 2 and the
ACL X will be present.
5) Delete VLAN 2.
6) View the ACL binding table – the association between VLAN 2 and the
ACL X will be gone even though the information about the association
between ACL X and VLAN 2 is retained by the system.
7) Re-create VLAN 2.
8) View the ACL binding table – the association between VLAN 2 and the
ACL X will be present again.
In essence, deleting an interface automatically unbinds the ACL attached
to the interface; if the same interface is recreated, the deleted ACL is
rebound to the interface.
RN-15139-R-077. Potential affect
of the QoS settings on the
configuration file download via
TFTP.
If the device has plenty of Quality of Service (QoS) flow classification and
bandwidth management objects like ACLs and policies defined and bound
to interfaces then the download (copy) of a configuration file from the
TFTP server into the running or startup configuration of the device may
take a very long time or even fail.
It is recommended then to perform the TFTP transfer of the file into the
backup configuration file first, and then copy the backup configuration file
into the running or startup configuration file.
RN-15535-F-011. The functioning
of the mirroring port when the
volume of the mirrored traffic flow
is greater than bandwidth capacity
of the mirroring target port.
When both transmit (TX) and receive (RX) directions of more than one
port are monitored, the volume of the actual traffic that that flows through
the monitored ports may exceed the carrying capacity of the target
monitoring port. In this case, the division of the mirrored packets may not
be equal and the mirroring target port may transmit an arbitrarily selected
subset of the traffic while some of the mirrored frames may be dropped.
The user is advised to use caution in assigning port monitoring.
RN-15585-R-146. Interpreting the
diagnostics results of Virtual
Cable Test (VCT): 2-pair vs. 4-pair
cables.
The Virtual Cable Test diagnoses the quality and characteristics of a
copper cable attached to a port. The test can be performed via the CLI
command “test copper-port tdr” or the Web interface page “System ->
Diagnostics -> Copper Cable Testing.” Please note that the displayed
diagnostics results will differ for four-pair and two-pair cables. If the
diagnostics test is performed on a four-pair cable (given that the cable is
intact), the resulting message will read as "Cable on port <port-number> is
good." If the diagnostics test passes for a two-pair cable, the resulting
message will read as "Cable on port <port-number> has only two pairs".
The latter message does not indicate that there is a problem with the
cable. It should be construed as follows: the test passed and there are
only two pairs in the tested cable.
