M6220 -
Routing fails on
VLAN
Customer has multiple M6220 switches,
and as part of a network change they
wanted to remove a VLAN routing interface
that was no longer in use. When they
removed the IP address from this VLAN,
they lost routing across the entire switch.
Ports are now checked to
ensure they are not part of
other routing VLANs before
clearing the ARP policy on the
port.

M8024 - No
password min
length error
using web GUI
On the web GUI-->system-->management
security-->password management,
If the password min length is unchecked
and applied, there is an entry in the running
config for "no passwords min-length". This
can be verified through CLI. After this, on
enable passwords page if we try to set a
password which is any length less than 8,
we get an error message as shown in the
attachment.
Password ranges are now
allocated dynamically on web
pages.

Web UI not
generating error
for out bound
ACL & applies
the config.
Binding an IP ACL as out bound to an
interface, via Web UI, does not generate an
error message. Furthermore, the config
gets applied to the interface as an inbound
ACL. When the same action is done via
CLI, an error message is generated and the
config is not applied.
Use of the direction object has
been corrected.

Auto-neg option
via Web UI is
not grayed out
for 10Gb fiber
ports.
Auto-neg is an option in the port
configuration via Web UI for 10Gb fiber
ports. Ideally the auto-neg option should be
grayed out for 10Gb fiber ports.
Auto-negotiation selection is
disabled for 10G ports in the
Web as auto-negotiation must
always be enabled.
