RN-16193-16178-F-001. The
Jumbo frames feature is defined
only for the ports operating at the
gigabit speed.
The device supports jumbo frames on all Gigabit Ethernet ports. Jumbo
frames accepted at ingress port generate jumbo frames at egress port.
Please note, although Jumbo frames are routinely transmitted from the
ports operating at 10/100 Mbps, the incoming Jumbo frames are always
dropped by the ports operating at 10/100 Mbps.
When the Jumbo frames feature is enabled, the device still bridges and/or
routes frames of normal size to and from the interfaces attached to the
device ports operating at 10/100 Mbps.
RN-16203-F-037. The DHCP “self-
reference” in a downloaded
configuration file may cause the
perpetual configuration-reboot
cycle.
It is possible to cause an endless “load configuration” / “system reload”
cycle by downloading the configuration file, which contains instructions
enabling the DHCP on the interface that connects to the DHCP server
where the configuration file is being downloaded from.
While this is clearly not a desirable situation, it really has nothing to do
with the device itself and may only result from the incorrect use of the
device by the user. It is naturally the user's responsibility to make certain
that the configuration files contain the appropriate information.
RN-16350-S-125. The ambiguity of
the Current Port Status reading in
the Web interface page "Switch ->
Network Security -> Port
Security".
If a port becomes a member of Link Aggregation Group (LAG in short, also
known as port-channel) then the configuration setting of MAC address port
locking mechanism of this port will temporarily assume the value of the
corresponding LAG setting until the port is removed from the LAG.
The value of the “Current Port Status” status field contained in the “Switch
-> Network Security -> Port Security“ Web interface page will always
reflect the effective status of port the LAG and may falsely appear to be in
the conflict with the "Set Port" setting which is only in effect when the port
does not belong to a LAG. At the same time, the output of the CLI exec
mode command “show ports security” will display the status of the port as
being the member of the LAG without referencing the actual port status.
For example, a locked port g17 is made a member of unlocked LAG 1. As
long as it remains a member of the unlocked LAG 1, g17 is effectively
unlocked and the relevant “Switch -> Network Security -> Port Security“
Web interface page will display the port status as “Unlocked”. When the
port g17 leaves the LAG 1, it will become locked and the “Switch ->
Network Security -> Port Security“ Web interface page will display the port
status as “Locked”.
RN-16514-R-078. The mutual
exclusion mechanism is absent
for the concurrently initiated
system reset and copying of the
configuration file.
The device does not protect a user against performing a system reset
(reload) while another user is copying a configuration file. Caution should
be exercised when resetting the device as no to disrupt the ongoing
copying/downloading of the configuration file.
The user attempting to reset the device while another user is copying the
configuration file will receive a warning message but will not be prevented
from going ahead with the reset.
