PowerConnect 3324/3348 Release Notes

Description

When Multicast traffic is transmitted via one of Static/LACP LAG one of the LAG

members is physically disconnected, all the traffic is transmitted via the second LAG

port member, but it is not forward to a client.

DVMRP frame is unidentified by IGMP Snooping.

PowerConnect 3348 does not support port mirroring from/to ports 1-24 and G1

to/from any port of another PowerConnect 3324/3348. Mirroring is also not supported

to/from G1 to/from G2 in the same PowerConnect 3348.

PowerConnect 3324/3348 storm control may practically operate with lower rate value

than defined or, in some cases, rate fluctuations may be experienced.

The negate command no port storm-control enable broadcast fastethernet does not

set the configured port back to wire speed capability.

An untagged general port which is a member of more than one VLAN changes its

PVID after reboot. The new PVID will always be the PVID of the first VLAN (lowest

number).

DHCP client may not work after reboot followed by massive VLAN configuration

(massive VLAN configuration means all ports added to all 248 VLANs).

Error may occur while attempting to bind an ACE to a MAC-based ACL.

The last remaining rule in the Profile Rules Table in Access Profiles cannot be

removed. Possible workaround is to remove it by removing the entire management

ACL from the access profiles screen.

When using the AAA authentication command, each authentication method can only

be used once however, there are no errors if this is attempted.

In ACL Bindings Table screen, performing copy from port to other selected ports

creates a refresh error.

After the refresh error, all stack ports get the result of the 'copy' action and not ports

per Unit.

PowerConnect 3324/3348 does not allow for configuring Copper gigabit port to 1000

/ half duplex using the embedded web management however, it is possible from CLI.

When creating a community in web, by default the Management Station button is set.

The web-based management allows defining community with IP. The result is that

although an error message ("You must enter a management address") is prompted

the community is still added to the community list.

When configuring via the Web-based Management Switch/Network Security/MAC

Based ACL, the new screen is "Add ACE to MAC-Based ACL", assuming an ACL

name exists, select ' Show All'. This will take you to 'ACEs associated with MAC-

ACL' screen. Assuming an 'ACE No' exists, the "ACTION" selectable pull down menu

is 'grayed out' and is not a usable feature.

A MAC address, which was learned on a reserved VLAN (VID 4089-4094, VLAN that

cannot be created by a user) is written to configuration when locking this port (can be

seen by the show running config command)

Consequently, when attempting to download this configuration file, the device does

not allow to configure reserved VLANs and the download process fails

Although the SSH is enabled by default, PowerConnect 3324/3348 do not

automatically generate and store keys.

Show startup config command shows the commands in the order in which they were

entered.

PowerConnect 3324/3348 devices are unable to download configuration file to

remote computer when interface ports range is bigger than 512 characters (line

length).

Copying extremely long configuration file using TFTP may not copy the entire

configuration contents of specific VLANs.
