4 Version Patch 5 Resolved Issues The following issues have been resolved in Version Patch 5 of the AT-S63 firmware: LACP - There must be more than 2 active links in an LACP group. Single Links do not send out LACPDUs. This issue applies to both the stacking and standalone configurations. Routing Link Aggregation - When a static and/or default route is configured on the stack and the connection to that route is on a LACP or Static Aggregation group, the switch cannot communicate through that link. This issue applied to a stacking configuration only. VLAN Tagging and Stacking - When a port on the master is configured as Tagged for a VLAN that is untagged on a member switch, ARP Replies from that interface no longer egress corresponding member ports. This issue applied to a stacking configuration only. (# 6605) ARP Requests on Tagged Ports of Member Switches - Tagged Member ports do not reply to ARP Requests. If you tag a member port, ARP requests that are received are processed (can be displayed in ARP table), but replies are never sent out. This issue applied to a stacking configuration only. (#6606) CPU Generated ARP Replies on SFP Ports - CPU generated ARP replies always egress the switch as untagged on XFP Ports even when the ARP Request comes in as tagged. (#6614) ARP Replies Do Not Egress as Tagged on Tagged Ports - On the AT-9448TS-XP (only) CPU ARP replies for ports 13+ do not egress as tagged for VID1. (#6497) Modifying VLANs Through Web GUI - Switch management hangs when modifying VLANs through the Web GUI. (#6747) ARPs Never Aged Out - ARP Timer does not work. ARP Table never ages out addresses. (#5035) Character Limitation in VLAN Port Field - Cannot create VLANs with more than 79 characters in the port field. (#6711) Member Connected External Routes - When a static and/or default route is configured on the stack and the connection to that route is not on the master, the switch cannot communicate through that link. This issue applied to a stacking configuration only. (#6362) SNMPv3 Memory Leak - SNMPv3 Memory Leak when performing an SNMP Walk. (#6416) Version Patch 5 Known Issues Default Route and Management - If a default route (add ip route ) is configured, you will not be able to manage, ping, or have any IP connectivity with the switch CPU unless you are connected to a link directly off of the master. This issue is only with the default route and does not affect individual static routes or routed traffic. Slow Management Response with Large Stack - The more switches in the stack, the slower the cpu will respond to management packets when not directly connected to the master. This only affects IP management and does not affect switching protocols, L2 switched or L3 routed traffic. PN Rev A 4 Allied Telesis, Inc.
