Workaround
M8024-k OpenManage
Web UI stack view
display
Operators using IE 8 may experience issues as
follows:
(1) Status LED does not glow to identify Master
(2) Member units do not show "DELL
PowerConnect M8024-k" model info
(3) Member units port display is missing
(4) LED label should be "Unit No." instead of
"Stack No." ?
(5) All Stack No. shown are as "01", instead of
"01", "02", "03", "04" etc.
(6) There are two "Slot 0" in display – confusing
Operators should consider using a browser
other than IE 8.
Inline help for
"spanning-tree
loopguard" is incorrect.
The inline help indicates that the command
applies to a single port.
Operators should be aware that this global
CONFIG command applies to all ports.
show interfaces
advanced firmware
displays ports 1-20 as
10GBASE-T on 8024F
Operator should be aware that the type is
reported incorrectly on this platform.
Ignore the type in the display for this
command.
VLAN name config lost
when upgrade from
3.1.5.16 to 4.2.x.x
When upgrading from release 3.1.4.16 to 4.2.0.4
the VLAN names only will not be copied to the
upgraded configuration. VLAN numbers are not
affected.
The user can cut the VLAN names and save
these off before the upgrade occurs and then
again reenter them after the upgrade.
Web GUI sFlow
configuration , receiver
owner inconsistent with
CLI
Fails with an error - "Error! Failed to Set
'Receiver Owner' with ''
However, it is possible to save the same
configuration (without receiver owner) via the
CLI.
Also, it is also not possible to add any polling
device or sampler configuration on the Web GUI
with this receiverIndex (seen in the show all
option) since an error is thrown stating "Receiver
Index is not configured".
Always configure the receiver owner when
using the Web interface.
Websense: Order of
switchport commands in
running-config changed,
Impacts scripts
The order that the commands “switchport mode
general” and “switchport general allowed vlan”
are displayed in the running config has been
changed so that now the “allowed” command is
first. This may cause problems with customer’s
scripts that expect a certain order in the “show
running-config” output.
None.
The “show dot1x
statistics” command
within the User Guide is
actually “show dot1x
interface statistics”
command from the CLI.
The User Guide states that there is a “show dot1x
statistics” command for displaying dot1x
statistics on the switch when the actual command
for doing this is “show dot1x interface statistics”.
This can be frustrating to the customer if he has
referenced the User Guide to look up the
supposed correct command.
Use the “show dot1x interface statistics”
command.
