Fixed Issues
Layer 2 and Layer 3 Features
| Bug ID | Release | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 13106 | 3.8.0 | Cannot Read out EEPROM Data on AS7326-56X |
| 13172 | 3.8.0.1 | Aquantia PHY Firmware is Not in SPI Flash on N3224PX-ON Ports cannot link up if Aquantia firmware is not loaded to the RAM of the external PHY on N3224PX-ON. In case that Aquantia PHY firmware is not in SPI flash attached to the external PHY, PICOS will get CLD image of Aquantia PHY firmware programmed into the SPI flash. And then reset the external PHY to load Aquantia PHY firmware and make ports up automatically. |
| 13171 | 3.8.0.1 | Cannot Forward Traffic if Link Speed is 5G on N3224PX-ON If link speed is negotiated to 5G with a connected device, the traffic from the attached device cannot be forwarded. This issue was fixed in 3.8.0.1. |
| 13161 | 3.8.0.1 | Cannot Recognize PoE Device of Class 4-8 on N3224PX-ON By testing with PoE tester, PD class 4-8 cannot be recognized on N3224PX-ON. This issue was fixed in 3.8.0.1. |
| 13173 | 3.8.0.1 | NAC: Downloadable ACL Rules with L4 Port Range don't Work on Trident3-X3 Platforms A DACL rules to match a L4 port range cannot be applied to the ASIC hardware on Trident3-X3 Platforms such as Dell N32XX and EdgeCore AS4630. This issue was fixed in 3.8.0.1. |
| 13159 | 3.8.0.1 | PoE Cannot Work on N3132PX-ON PoE cannot work on specific port randomly on N3132PX-ON. This issue was fixed in 3.8.0.1. |
| 13207 | 3.8.0.1 | Static MAC Address is Changed to Dynamic on MLAG peer-link Port On an MLAG spine switch called spine A for convenience of expression, configure a static MAC address on the peer-link port. If this MAC address is learned on a single-homed port on the peering spine switch, it will be synchronized to spine A on peer-link port. And then the type of this configured static MAC address on the peer-link port is changed to dynamic. |
| 13436 | 3.8.0.3 | Cannot Access to SNMP Agent If enable management VRF and Inband connection as following CLI commands, SNMP agent will not be accessed. |
| 13419 | 3.8.0.3 | The Size of NETCONF.events Increases Indefinitely If configure NETCONF on the switch, the size of NETCONF log file /tmp/stream/NETCONF.events will increase indefinitely. Add a mechanism of rotation to fix this issue. Keep the size of this file within 2M. |
| 13457 | 3.8.0.3 | Crash if Configure port-mode via NETCONF The NETCONF process might crash if configure port-mode to "trunk" and then back to "access" repeatedly via NETCONF. |
OVS Features
| Bug ID | Release | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 13150 | 3.8.0 | OVS Web Service is Still up Even If It is Disabled in PICOS Configuration The lighttpd service is brought up by systemd because the setting of the option "WantedBy" in lighttpd.service, which walks around the toggle option (ovs_enable_lighttpd=false) in /etc/picos/picos_start.conf. |
