4 Known Issues

The following table describes MLNX-OS™ known issues in this software release and possible

workarounds.

4.1 General Known Issues

For any possible errata due to hardware issues, please refer to the switch support prod-

uct page.

Table 3 - General Known Issues (Sheet 1 of 2)

Index Category Description Possible Workaround

1. Management Interfaces Host name may not include the “.” character.

Modules When using 5m splitter cable (P/N MC2609125-

005), wrong data will be displayed under trans-

ceiver information. It can be safely ignored.

3. NTP Deleting an NTP entry and enabling it back may

result in a wrong “show ntp” output (unsynchro-

nized). This can be safely ignored.

4. Software Management Only one image is allowed to be copied into the

system (using the

image fetch command). The

user must remove old image files prior to fetching

a new one.

5. Software Management Upgrading to v3.2.0594 (or later) forces all Con-

nectX®-3 adapters that are connected to this

switch to upgrade their firmware to adapter firm-

ware v2.10.7204 (or later). For switch-to-switch

connections, it is highly recommended that all

SwitchX® switches be upgraded to MLNX-OS

version v3.2.0594 (or later) to guarantee robust

interoperability.

6. Software Management In case of an upgrade, ACL sequence-number “0”

is not valid any more. In case there are two ACL

entries with sequence number of “0” and “1”

(sequential entries), the ACL with sequence-num-

ber 0 is deleted. In other cases where there is an

ACL entry with sequence-number “0”, it is moved

to be sequence-number 1 within the system

upgrade procedure.

In case you have an ACL

entry with sequence

number “0”, recreate it

with different sequence

number, prior to the

upgrade procedure.

7. Configuration Manage-

ment

Loading the wrong system configuration file may

hang the system.

For example: an attempt to use an SX1016 config-

uration file on an SX6036/SX6536/SX1035 sys-

tem may cause the system to hang.
