4 Known problems and limitations
The following problems are known to exist in version B.11.31.1011:
• Using ncweb to change number of receive queues causes an error message.
Severity: Medium
When you use the ncweb or SMH interface to change the number of receive queues, an error
message appears.
Workaround: Use nwmgr instead of ncweb to change number of the queues. The command
syntax is:
nwmgr -s -A drv_mq=<new#> -c lan<instance>
where
<new#> The number of queues that you want to enable.
<instance> Instance number of the LAN interface; for example, lan1.
• Resetting a port with traffic running can cause the controller to go offline.
Severity: Medium
If you use a command such as lanadmin -r to reset a port while it is active and under load,
the controller might go offline.
Workaround: Do not reset a port until its traffic level has subsided.
This problem will be corrected in a future release of the 10GigEthr-02 bundle.
