PowerConnect 3324/3348 Release Notes
Also, performing the command Show startup config after the configuration file has
been copied to startup also generates the following error: "%LCLI-E-MIB2CLI: Illegal
Configuration, process valid commands only":
While rebooting, PowerConnect 3324/3348 sends error packet on the 1000Gbps
uplink port.
Description
Auto MDI/MDIX parameter must be manually set [on/off] before speed/duplex
settings can be changed
If speed/duplex is forced with "no negotiation" and port is then changed back to
"negotiation" mode. The command show running config details the admin speed and
duplex configuration of a port although auto negotiation is enabled. The
speed/duplex configuration is applied to the port once auto negotiation is disabled.
Description
In order to assure PowerConnect 3324/3348 internal management traffic that
traverses between the units, flow control does not operate across inter-unit stacking
links, specifically ports G2 of each PowerConnect 3324/3348 unit.
Also, flow control cannot operate between links of ports 1-24, G1 and 25-48,G2 of a
PowerConnect 3348 unit.
Description
Since the PowerConnect 3324/3348 interconnecting stacking link bandwidth is
1Gbps, and it is used also for stack management traffic, all exceeding traffic will be
discarded.
Description
PowerConnect 3324/3348 queue scheduler may misrepresent the predefined queue
weights when packet sizes in egress queues are different.
The weighting is done by packet, not by bandwidth.
Description
To allow configuration of all ports, some configuration options may show "ghost"
ports though the port will not be available for use.
Description
During PowerConnect 3324/3348 stack disconnection, Web-based management
does not present the current information of the stack. Once recovered, Web-based
management refreshes the stack information and any setup activities that might
have been done during the disconnection period, and applies it to its respected
PowerConnect 3324/3348 unit.
