ProCurve Series 2300 and 2500 Switches Release Notes

242
Software Fixes
Software version F.05.xx updates this configuration method, but if you use the same values for
indicating time zones as you did for previous HP ProCurve switches, the time will be set incorrectly
on your HP ProCurve Switches 2512 and 2524. For example, for previous HP ProCurve switches, the
US Pacific time zone was configured by entering +480. With software version F.05.xx, the US Pacific
time zone must now be configured by entering -480.
Note
The startup-config file saved under version F.05.05, or later, is NOT backward-compatible with
previous software versions. The user is advised to save a copy of the pre-05.05 startup-config file
BEFORE UPGRADING to F.05.05 or greater, in case there is ever a need to revert back to pre- 05.05
software. Instructions for saving a copy of the startup-config file are found in the "Transferring Switch
Configurations" section of Appendix A in the Management and Configuration Guide (included on
the Product Documentation CD-ROM (PDF format)) that shipped with the switch.
Fixed in release F.05.05
■ Agent Hang — Agent processes (such as console, telnet, STP, ping, etc.) may stop func-
tioning when the IGMP querier function is disabled, and then re-enabled, on a VLAN that
does not have an IP address configured.
■ ARP — Changing the IP address of a VLAN does not delete the ARP entry for the old IP
address.
■ GARP/Event log — Garp event log messages may be garbled.
■ CLI — The CLI command show arp displays the wrong port number for some ARP entries.
■ CLI — The CLI command show trunks lists incorrect information for dynamic trunks.
■ CLI — The CLI command getmib with no parameters returns the message Incomplete
input: - EOI -.
■ CLI — Unrelated information was shown at the end of the CLI command "show vlan 1"
output.
■ CLI — Command "no qos" did not reset port priority to "0".
■ CLI — When reaching the inactivity timeout expiration after typing the CLI command
"enable" in a telnet session at operator mode, the text in the CLI prompt may get corrupted
with text similar to "gfs_alp_104Null Varbind".
