11 NOTE: The number preceding the fix description is used for tracking purposes. Version PK.1.34 Trunking CR_ Symptom/Scenario: Unable to permanently delete a Trunk group as the configuration will not be preserved following a reboot. Workaround: Trunk groups may be manually removed from the Trunk configuration webpage. Version PK.1.33 Support Links CR_ Support links were updated to the hpe.com domain. Version PK.1.32 Display Issue CR_ Symptom: The switch GUI is unreachable. Scenario: After 200 days of uptime on the switch, the GUI is no longer reachable. Workaround: Reboot the switch. Version PK.1.31 Version PK.1.31 was never released. Version PK.1.30 Version PK.1.30 was never released. Version PK.1.29 Version PK.1.29 was never released. Version PK.1.28 Version PK.1.28 was never released. Version PK.1.27 Version PK.1.27 was never released. Version PK.1.26 Software fixes were made to this version of software. Version PK.1.25 Version PK

12 Subnet Mask Trunking CR_ The error message when entering an incorrect subnet mask has been fixed. Previously, an error such as Error! Failed to Set 'Community Name' with <subnet mask IP> was being displayed instead. CR_ When saving the configuration, even if the configuration has not changed, a trunk goes down for several seconds. Version PK.1.24 Version PK.1.24 was never released. Version PK.1.23 Crash CR_ The switch unexpectedly reboots when being discovered by certain network management software, such as Observium. It occurs when the switch incorrectly processes the SNMP Get of lldpremsysdesc from the network management software. Port Connectivity CR_ Trunk ports are not listed as possible source port in port-mirroring configuration webpage. Web Authentication CR_ A blank default gateway is not allowed ( ), resulting in various error messages when saving as either blank or Version PK.1.22 Version PK.1.22 was never released. Version PK.1.21 Jumbo Frames LLDP CR_ When Jumbo Frames are transmitted over a trunked port, the software increments both the counters Transmitted Packets without Errors and Transmitted Packets with Errors. CR_ The switch transmits incorrect LLDP MED TLVs that contain an incorrect VLAN ID, thus causing devices to be assigned to an incorrect or non-existing VLAN. The proper behavior for the switch is to not transmit LLDP MED packets. Port Access CR_ Randomly, a port on the switch may hang. No MAC addresses will be registered on the port and both inbound and outbound traffic will no longer be forwarded on an affected port. The only recovery method is to reset the switch. 12 Subnet Mask

13 SNMP SNTP CR_ The software does not create an instance for a trunk for the object ifindiscards ( ). When the object is queried, the log may return the following message: UNKN Failed to get counter value. When requesting the trunk's instance of the object directly, the software returns the error: No Such Instance currently exists at this OID. CR_ The switch may stop requesting SNTP updates after it received a Kiss-of-Death (KoD) packet with an INIT or STEP code. After it received such a packet, the switch should retransmit using an exponential back off algorithm if no other NTP server is available, but instead, it stops requesting SNTP updates altogether. Version PK.1.20 Version PK.1.20 was never released. Version PK.1.19 Version PK.1.19 was never released. Version PK.1.18 Event Log CR_ After each reboot, the switch log includes a message similar to Migrating config file log.cfg from version 1 to 2. A configuration file version mismatch was detected so a configuration file migration has started. With this fix, the message only appears after the first reboot with new software. IP Communication CR_ Some clients connected directly to the switch become unable to communicate on the network. When this happens, the switch log shows Unable to delete FDB entry messages. Web Management CR_ When the switch handles broadcast traffic at rates of 500 packets/second or more, the switch's Web user interface responds very slowly. This issue only affects switch management; network traffic, including broadcast traffic, is switched properly. Version PK.1.17 Version PK.1.17 was never built. Version PK.1.16 Version PK.1.16 was never built. Version PK.1.15 SNMP 13

14 Crash CR_ The switch might reboot unexpectedly and randomly. Version PK.1.14 Config CR_ The configuration is erased when the user attempts to gather diagnostic information. This issue was introduced in PK Version PK.1.13 Counters MAC Table CR_ The SysUptime shows zero after 49.7 days, although the switch does not reboot at 49.7 days. CR_ Addresses in the MAC table are displayed with the VLAN prepended in HEX as the first two leading bytes which is confusing for administrators. For example, 00:01:00:00:85:4E:59:4A. Version PK.1.12 ARP CR_ The switch does not update its ARP cache with information from a gratuitous ARP packet. DHCP CR_ The switch does not get an IP address from the DHCP server when there are two IPs configured in Router options. Web Management CR_ Port configuration for 1000Base-SX SFP on dual-personality ports 23/24 are changed automatically from 1000FDX to AUTO after reboot or power cycle. CR_ The switch does not save changes to the originally-configured SysLog Host IP address. Version PK.1.11 Event Log CR_ Excessive error messages appear in the log file regarding avl mac delete errors similar to the following: :33:03 9 is Link Down :33:03 avl mac delete error :33:05 9 is Link Up 14 Crash

15 Switch Hang CR_ The switch cannot be accessed by the Web user interface, and end-user traffic is not forwarded after 2-3 days of system uptime. Version PK.1.10 Event Log SNMP CR_ Using the wrong log-level for SNTP messages results in filling up the log with successful NTP sync messages. PR_ , CR_ The switch uses incorrect OIDs for lldpremchassisidsubtype. Version PK.1.9 Web Management PR_ , CR_ When logging into the switch via the Web user interface, at the login dialog box using the [] key does not work - you must click on the [LOGIN] button. Version PK.1.8 SNMP PR_ , CR_ SNMP walk on SNMPv2-SMI::mib (MAC table) times out at around addresses. Version PK.1.7 Version PK.1.7 was never built. Version PK.1.6 Web Management PR_ , CR_ Underscore characters were not allowed in community name. Version PK.1.5 Web Management PR_ , CR_ It was possible to set the subnet mask to an illegal value of PR_ , CR_ Password change did not provide a confirmation. Version PK.1.4 No fixes were included in version PK.1.4. Upgrade information Updating the Switch Software Switch Hang 15

16 Use Update Manager to Update/Downgrade Switch Software Update Manager enables a new image or configuration file to be downloaded from a local or network system to the switch. To access this page, click Maintenance > Update Manager in the navigation pane. NOTE: Downloading new software does not change the current switch configuration. The switch configuration is contained in a separate file that can also be uploaded or downloaded (for example, as backup, or for use in another switch of the same model). Update Manager displays different options depending on the transfer protocol, file, or image type selected for an update. In the example in Figure 1: Update Manager Page on page 16, the inactive (or Backup ) image on the switch is being updated with the file named switchdrvr.stk from a TFTP server. For example, if the image1 file is being used as the currently-active image running on the switch, then image2 is the backup image file to be updated. To check the software version in each image, and to determine which image is currently active, use the Status > Dual Image screen. Figure 1: Update Manager Page 16 Use Update Manager to Update/Downgrade Switch Software
