Software Fixes
■ STP — Under some conditions, an 802.1w non-Root switch will have a zero Root Path Cost.
■ TACACS+ — The TACACS server IP is shown on the 'splash screen'.
■ TELNET — TCP port 1506 is always open.
■ UI — In the absence of a time server, the switch may report that it is the year "26".
■ Web — Web browser port utililization pop-up does not display the bandwidth number. Shows
x% of 0Mb instead of x% of 100Mb or x% of 1Gb.
■ Web/Security — When a 2500 series switch is acting as an IP Stack Commander, it is possible
to send a specific command to the 2500’s WEB agent that will inappropriately reset an IP
Stack Member switch.
■ Web/Security —
1. Set Series 2500 switch as commander of a stack containing only one
1600M/2400M/2424M/4000M/8000M switch member.
2. Send the following URL to the Series 2500 switch (Commander):
http://<IP ADDRESS>/sw2/cgi/device_reset?
This will cause the member switch to reboot, even without a password on the commander
(password not allowed on a member).
Release F.05.16 (Beta Release Only)
Fixed in release F.05.16
■ IP Stack Mgmt/Web — A bus error occurs when accessing the close-up view of a 15-member
stack (IP Stack Management) through the Web interface.
■ LACP — With a 2500-Series switch linked via SX or LX to 5300-Series switch, turn off LACP
on the 2500 when RSTP is enabled, and STP's status becomes disabled on that port.
■ LACP — With a 2500-Series switch linked via SX or LX to a 5300-Series switch, turn off LACP
on the 2500 when RSTP is enabled, and STP's status becomes disabled on that port.
■ RSTP/LACP — Turning LACP off, then back on, leaves LACP in Passive mode. This can
result in loops (broadcast storms, etc.)
