Extra Lines and Tabs in
CSR Cause CA
Submittal Troubles
CSR may be rejected by Certificate Authority
Users can hand edit the CSR to left align all
rows and eliminate blank lines before
submission to the CA.
Sflow configurations do
not get saved to the
config
The operator entered a sflow command that takes
a timeout value which makes the sflow
configuration valid only for a fixed period of
time. As the configuration is temporary (bound
by the timeout value), it is not shown in running-
config. Storing the vale in the running
config/startup config would be an error as the
time period may have already expired.
The configuration will show in the running
config if the command is used with the
"notimeout" option, e.g.
sflow 1 destination owner 1 notimeout
Password strength -

enforced
Operator may become confused regarding switch
operations.
As is documented in the CLI Reference
Manual, the password strength minimums do
not become effective until the user has
configured a non-zero value for passwords
strength minimum character-classes. Please
refer to the documentation for passwords
