Release Notes G.07. 53

Software Fixes

Release G.04.05

 Module Crash (PR_4229) — A module may crash with a message similar to: -> Assertion

failed: soc->soc_link_pause >0,f

 NNM/Stacking (PR_4556) — If stacking is configured, NNM cannot discover the device

as a generic switch.

 STP Fast Mode (PR_4659) — A port configured for STP fast mode behaves like a standard

STP port.

 STP/RSTP (PR_4170) — Port path cost is reset even though path cost is configured for

“Auto”.

 STP/Running-Config (PR_4488) — STP path-cost is not written to the configuration when

using the CLI.

 STP/Startup-Config (PR_4141) — When a startup-config file containing an 802.1d STP

configuration is reloaded that was saved off from the switch, an error similar to the following

occurs: Line: 13. Invalid input: stp802.1d Corrupted download file.

 TACACS+ (PR_4110) — When logging into the switch via TACACS+ encrypted authenti-

cation, the packet header has the 'encryption' field set to 'TAC_PLUS_CLEAR' when the body

of the packet is actually encrypted.

 XRMON (PR_4215) — The switch incorrectly reports XRMON support to TopTools query.

Release G.04.05

 Never released.

 Modification of Lab troubleshooting commands.

Release G.04.04 1/10/02

 Caution Regarding Gigabit-SX and -LX Port Settings for Links Between an HP Series 4100GL

Switch and Other Switch Models:

In the HP 1600M/2400M/2424M/4000M/8000M switches, and also in other vendors' switches,

the default port mode setting for the Gigabit-SX and Gigabit-LX ports is forced 1000FDx

(Gigabit full-duplex). However, the default port mode for the Gigabit- SX and -LX ports in

the HP 4108GL is Auto. In earlier software releases, the HP 4108GL tolerated this mismatch

and allowed SX and LX links with these other switches to exist. The HP 4108GL (when

running software release G.04.04 or greater) now complies with the Gigabit-SX and -LX

standard that disallows linkbeat to be enabled when there is a mismatch. (The HP 4104GL,

introduced with software release G.05.02, also complies with this requirement.) Thus,

mismatched links between Gigabit-SX and -LX ports on an HP Series 4100GL switch and the

HP 1600M/2400M/2424M/4000M/8000M switches or other switches that were formerly
