KNOWN RESTRICTIONS AND LIMITATIONS
Prior to E8.2.0.0, the Known Restrictions and Limitations section contained various hardware/feature
informational statements. As of E8.2.0.0, those statements have been moved to the “Informational Notes” section
of the System Firmware release notes.
6SSRM-02 I.D.
When a 6SSRM-02 or 5SSRM -02 configuration includes the system poweron-selftest on
command in startup, and the X-Pedition is cold booted, the diagnostic programs will run; these
programs will subsequently report failures such as:
%DDT-E-GMAC_PHY_LOOPBACK, (Slot 1, Port 1) : GMAC PHY Loopback : FAILED
%DDT-E-GMAC_TEST, (Slot 1, Port 1) : GMAC Test : FAILED
%DDT-E-PORT_STATUS, (Slot 1, Port 1) : FAILED
The system will be unable to use desired ports, which will be reported to have failed self-test.
The X-Pedition functions as designed when the system poweron-selftest on command is not
included in the startup configuration.

Access Control List (ACL) I.D.
Entering save in the ACL editor when no ACLs are defined causes a core dump. This issue was
introduced in E8.2.1.1.
F1955
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) I.D.
After the negation of an interface configured with an ARP command, the ARP command will
automatically be reassigned to a non-existing interface in the same configuration. Attempts to
negate the ARP command will produce the following error messages:
%CLI-E-FAILED, Execution failed for "no arp set interface int1 keep-time 10"
%INTERFACE-E-NOEXIST, Interface int1 does not exist. Please check the name and try
again.
The user must then recreate the negated interface in order to negate the ARP command.
When the X-Pedition detects a topology change, it will clear the ARP entries on a specified VLAN
(or an entire ARP table if running STP) in order to ensure that Layer-3 entries maintain their
integrity. This may potentially cause all existing IP connections to re-ARP simultaneously.
Therefore, Enterasys Networks recommends that the user does not enable STP or PVST on
connections to end-stations. If this configuration is necessary, the following commands are
recommended:
stp set port edge-port true, or
pvst set port edge-port true spanning-tree
The X-Pedition will not consider a link change to an edge-port as a topology change, thereby
reducing the number of unnecessary ARP entries cleared.
