HP 10500 Switch Series - HP 10500-CMW710-R2105P05 Release Notes

Restrictions and cautions

1. The software version does not support LSU1SUPA0 engine module (JC614A/JG375A), and

LSU1SUPA0 engine module (JC614A/JG375A) should use 10500 1xxx series software version.

2. It takes more than half an hour to collect diagnostic information when the IRF has many

configuration parameters.

3. The hp 10500 product family supports four IRF members. There are several setup and

configuration limitation, please check the Command Line Manual and Operation Manual for

detail.

4. If you enable multicast ARP and connect the device to an NLB server through an aggregate

interface, any port that receives client traffic must not reside on the same card as any member port

of the aggregate interface.

5. The default switch-mode of EA/EB cards is mix-bridging-routing. It is normal that the first time you

insert an EA/EB card into the chassis, the card automatically reboots once or twice and takes

about 10 to 20 minutes to start up. If you set the card in normal mode, the standard startup process

will apply.

6. NTP multicast mode only supports multicast addresses in 224.0.1.0/24.

7. SC cards do not support MPLS and cannot use the extended forwarding capabilities of other

cards.

Open problems and workarounds

LSD078632

 Symptom: If a card that uses bootware 202 or earlier is inserted into slot 13 of an S10512, the card

cannot boot up.

 Condition: This symptom occurs if the card in slot 13 of an S10512 uses bootware 202 or earlier.

 Workaround: Insert a card that uses bootware 202 or earlier into one of the first 11 slots.

LSD068672

 Symptom: The IRF fabric may split.

 Condition: Reboot an IRF fabric comprised of four switches. If the switches are not synchronously

rebooted.

 Workaround: Make sure the switches have similar card configurations, can back up each other,

and are rebooted at the same time. If the IRF fabric splits, reboot the smallest IRF system so the

switches can join the system to re-form a 4-chassis fabric.

LSV7D001930

 Symptom: After an incompatible ISSU on an IRF fabric that is the root of the TRILL multicast

distribution tree, the TRILL nickname (bridge MAC address) of the IRF fabric is changed but the root

name is not changed to the new name, resulting in a 20 -minute interruption of multicast traffic.

 Condition: This symptom occurs after an incompatible ISSU on an IRF fabric that is the root of the

TRILL multicast distribution tree. After the ISSU, the TRILL nickname (bridge MAC address) of the IRF

fabric is changed, but the root name of the TRILL multicast distribution tree is not changed to the new

name.
