5.4.0 Release Notes
Open Issues in 5.4.0
| Issue ID | Description | Affects | Fixed |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4004453 |
The NVUE commands to delete SNMP users, and change authentication passwords and encryption passphrases are not successful. | 4.3.0-5.9.1, 5.10.0-5.10.1 | 5.9.2 |
| 3982222 |
When SPAN is enabled on a bridge member, an ARP or Gratuitous ARP received during a failover event between locally attached redundant devices such as load balancers might fail to update the bridge MAC table to point to the interface with the newly active load balancer. | 5.4.0-5.9.1 | 5.9.2-5.10.1 |
| 3949367 |
If you use NVUE to create an SNMP user with a password, then delete and recreate the user with additional encryption passwords (such as DES or AES), SNMP authorization fails for that user. | 5.3.1-5.9.1 | 5.9.2-5.10.1 |
| 3895042 |
After an NMS station does a full SNMP walk on the switch, you see the following message every 5 minutes:snmp : command not allowed ; TTY=unknown ; PWD=/ ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/usr/cumulus/bin/poectl -j -a This issue occurs because poectl is called on non-PoE switches. To work around this issue, remove or comment out the poetcl call from the /etc/snmpd.conf file, then restart the snmpd process with the sudo systemctl snmpd restart command#snmp ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/cumulus/bin/poectl -j -a |
4.4.0-5.9.1 | 5.9.2-5.10.1 |
| 3859422 |
On rare occasions when certain events occur, such as changes to the topology in the network, when a bond comes online and directly transits to an STP blocking state, the slave ports might still be in a forwarding state. As a result, traffic is forwarded on a blocked port. | 5.2.0-5.9.1 | 5.9.2-5.10.1 |
| 3773177 |
When you try to upgrade a switch from Cumulus Linux 5.5 or earlier to 5.8.0 or later with package upgrade, you see errors for expired GPG keys that prevent you from upgrading. To work around this issue, install the new keys with the following commands, then upgrade the switch.cumulus@switch:~$ wget https://download.nvidia.com/cumulus/apt.cumulusnetworks.com/repo/pool/cumulus/c/cumulus-archive-keyring/cumulus-archive-keyring_4-cl5.6.0u5_all.deb |
4.0.0-4.4.5, 5.0.0-5.10.1 | |
| 3730904 |
When sending untagged frames to the CPU with an MTU higher than the SVD (single VXLAN device) MTU, the kernel might crash. | 5.4.0-5.8.0 | 5.9.0-5.10.1 |
| 3713419 |
When monitoring system statistics and network traffic with sFlow, an aggressive link flap might produce a memory leak in the sFlow service hsflowd. |
5.1.0-5.7.0 | 5.8.0-5.10.1 |
| 3702431 |
Traditional SNMP snippets do not take effect unless you first enable SNMP with the NVUE nv set service snmp-server enable on and nv set service snmp-server listening-address commands. Alternatively, you can use the equivalent REST API methods. |
5.4.0-5.8.0 | 5.9.0-5.10.1 |
| 3696061 |
When the MAC address of a neighbor changes, the zebra IP routing manager might crash. |
5.2.1-5.6.0 | 5.7.0-5.10.1 |
| 3695430 |
When you configure extended nexthop encoding for a peer group, the peers in the group do not inherit the configuration. To work around this issue, configure extended nexthop encoding on each individual peer in the group. NVIDIA recommends that you upgrade to Cumulus Linux 5.6 or later to avoid this issue. | 5.4.0-5.6.0 | 5.7.0-5.10.1 |
| 3684998 |
DHCP lease information is not collected in the cl-support file. |
4.3.0-5.6.0 | 5.7.0-5.10.1 |
| 3663182 |
Changing non-default BGP timers with NCLU or vtysh commands sets the hold time and keep alive interval to 0 seconds. To work around this issue, restart the FRR service with the sudo systemctl restart frr.service command. |
5.3.1-5.6.0 | 5.7.0-5.10.1 |
| 3647426 |
If BGP remote-as is set to an integer and you try to configure the local-as for a BGP instance, you see the following error:% AS specified for local as is the same as the remote as and this is not allowedThis configuration is not allowed; it is considered to be eBGP and local preference is not advertised. |
5.0.0-5.5.1 | 4.3.2-4.4.5, 5.6.0-5.10.1 |
| 3613258 |
With VM migration from one VTEP to another, traffic loss might occur during a MAC move as locally learned MAC addresses are frequently refreshed between switchd and the kernel. |
5.2.1-5.6.0 | 5.7.0-5.10.1 |
| 3610967 |
In an EVPN symmetric routing configuration, running the NVUE nv set vrf command to derive layer 3 VNIs automatically might result in duplicate VLAN entries in the system. This most often occurs at scale when many VRFs have similar names. To work around this issue, manually specify a unique VLAN for each VRF. |
5.3.0-5.8.0 | 5.9.0-5.10.1 |
| 3585467 |
NVUE and ip link show traditional bridge VLAN subinterface counts incorrectly. The ingress (Rx) count increments correctly but the egress (Tx) count does not increment. This issues occurs because the hardware does not support transmit counters for a VLAN subinterface; therefore, no statistics from the hardware are updated. Statistics for software forwarded packets show correctly. |
5.0.0-5.6.0 | 5.7.0-5.10.1 |
| 3580435 |
On the NVIDIA SN2410 switch with an Innodisk SSD, you might see the following message in syslog:smartd[501]: Device: /dev/sda [SAT], CHECK POWER STATUS spins up disk (0x00 -> 0xff)This is a cosmetic issue and does not affect how the switch operates. To prevent this message from occurring, run the hdparm -S 24 /dev/sda command to change the HD timeout. |
5.3.1-5.6.0 | 5.7.0-5.10.1 |
| 3573800 |
After you apply a change to the router MAC address on an SVI with the ifreload -a command, the old router MAC address still remains in the FDB table. To work around this issue, remove the old router MAC address with the sudo bridge fdb del <old_mac> dev bridge vlan <vlan_id> command. |
5.3.1-5.6.0 | 5.7.0-5.10.1 |
| 3567708 |
In an EVPN multihoming environment with VRRP, when the master VRRP router fails, the standby router takes around 30 seconds to become active. | 5.3.1-5.6.0 | 5.7.0-5.10.1 |
| 3562767 |
ACLs do not process inbound DHCP packets and the packets do not contribute to ACL counters | 5.2.0-5.4.0 | 5.5.0-5.10.1 |
| 3560622 |
When you configure a route distinguisher (RD) or a route target (RT) manually for layer 2 VNIs, type-1 routes are not properly updated, type-1 EVI routes with the old RD are not properly withdrawn, and type-1 ES routes do not have the corresponding layer 2 VNI route target updated. | 5.0.0-5.5.1 | 5.6.0-5.10.1 |
| 3554231 |
CVE-2023-38408: The PKCS#11 feature in ssh-agent in OpenSSH before 9.3p2 has an insufficiently trustworthy search path, leading to remote code execution if an agent is forwarded to an attacker-controlled system. (Code in /usr/lib is not necessarily safe for loading into ssh-agent.) NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2016-10009 Mitigation: Do not use ssh-agent forwarding (the man page for ssh_config says that “agent forwarding should be enabled with caution”), or start the ssh-agent program with the -P option to allow only specific PKCS#11 libraries (or none with -P ‘') For Cumulus Linux 4.3.2, the /usr/bin/ssh-agent program has all permissions turned off (chmod 0) to prevent its execution if a vulnerable version is detected. |
4.0.0-4.3.1, 5.0.0-5.10.1 | 4.3.2-4.4.5 |
| 3541912 |
Collecting a cl-support file in a high VNI and interface environment can result in an out-of-memory (OOM) event on the switch. An OOM event can cause critical services to restart and might impact traffic. |
5.1.0-5.5.1 | 5.6.0-5.10.1 |
| 3498939 |
In an EVPN environment, VM migration (IP and MAC address migration) might not work because the new local VTEP to which the VM migrates does not install the entry in the kenel. To work around this issue, restart the switchd service. |
5.4.0-5.5.1 | 5.6.0-5.10.1 |
| 3496931 |
When you update a prefix list associated with an RP, the pimd service might crash if the prefix list exists without any prefixes. To work around this issue, ensure that any prefix list associated with an RP includes at least one prefix at all times. |
5.3.1-5.5.1 | 5.6.0-5.10.1 |
| 3496889 |
When PTP is not enabled on the switch, NVUE nv show ptp commands freeze. This might cause other NVUE commands to fail and the NVUE service to restart. |
5.3.1-5.5.1 | 5.6.0-5.10.1 |
| 3495630 |
The NVUE nv show service ptp command output shows an incorrect value. To work around this issue, run the nv show service ptp command or the Linux pmc utility. |
5.3.1-5.5.1 | 5.6.0-5.10.1 |
| 3488136 |
When zebra receives route updates that include both a route with a recursive next hop and the route used to resolve that next hop, zebra might mark the route with the recursive next hop as inactive. To work around this issue, reprocess the route updates by running the appropriate clear command for the protocol in use. For example, for BGP, clear inbound routes from the relevant neighbor using the nv action clear vrf command. |
4.2.1-5.5.1 | 5.6.0-5.10.1 |
| 3484058 |
When you power on the NVIDIA SN3420 switch with no connected cables, the QSFP ports LEDs light in amber. | 5.3.0-5.8.0 | 5.9.0-5.10.1 |
| 3479786 |
The switchd service does not handle certain route and next hop updates, which causes a synchronization loop. For example, in a VRF route leaking configuration, where a next hop group spans across multiple VRFs, when one of the routes is withdrawn and the next hop is no longer used, switchd has problems synchronizing other next hops in the groupTo work around this issue, disable next hop groups in zebra with the vtysh zebra nexthop proto only command, and then reboot the switch. |
5.3.0-5.5.1 | 5.6.0-5.10.1 |
| 3474391 |
The SNMP MIB definition file /usr/share/snmp/mibs/Cumulus-BGPVRF-MIB.txt does not define the INDEX of the bgpPeerEntry correctly. This issue does not impact SNMP functionality for this MIB. |
4.3.1-5.5.1 | 5.6.0-5.10.1 |
| 3472865 |
The json output for the vtysh -c ‘show bgp all json command is missing a string key in front of the list of routes under the l2vpnevpn address family. |
5.4.0-5.5.1 | 5.6.0-5.10.1 |
| 3471052 |
On certain QSFP-DD and OSFP optical modules, the ethtool -m command, and the related NCLU and NVUE commands that display optical module information fail. |
5.4.0-5.5.1 | 5.6.0-5.10.1 |
| 3470941 |
On the NVIDIA SN4700 switch, reversing the upper four lanes on a port does not work and might cause link degradation. If you swap the upper and lower four lanes on a port, the firmware gets stuck. | 5.3.0-5.5.0 | 5.5.1-5.10.1 |
| 3467890 |
BGP aggregate routers are not advertised after learning the same route from another protocol. To work around this issue, restart the FRR service or, if possible, don’t learn the route from another protocol (use route maps instead). | 5.3.0-5.5.1 | 5.6.0-5.10.1 |
| 3466703 |
In rare cases when there is high load, the clagd service might experience a buffer overflow and MLAG bonds stay in a proto-down state on the secondary switch. You see a “NetlinkThread: Netlink overflow” log message and the MLAG state indicates VLAN conflicts between peers. To work around this issue, restart the clagd service with the sudo systemctl restart clagd command on the switch that reports the overflow log message. |
5.2.0-5.5.1 | 5.6.0-5.10.1 |
| 3459696 |
If you run the NVUE nv show vrf command when the BGP instance is not enabled, you see an NVUE traceback error. |
5.4.0-5.5.1 | 5.6.0-5.10.1 |
| 3447762 |
If the NVUE startup.yaml configuration file is invalid, the nv config apply startup command times out without providing details on the error. |
5.4.0-5.5.1 | 5.6.0-5.10.1 |
| 3446455 |
The vtysh show version command shows an incorrect version number; for example, instead of Cumulus Linux 5.4, the command output shows Cumulus Linux 5.3. |
5.4.0 | 5.5.0-5.10.1 |
| 3445841 |
FRR does not apply Type-0 ESI configuration for EVPN multihoming bonds consistently after an FRR service reload. This issue occurs because the system MAC address value (es-sys-mac) is only compatible with a 3-byte Ethernet segment ID (es-id) for Type-3 ESIs, but still renders even when the Ethernet segment ID is 10 bytes for Type-0 ESIs. To work around this issue, configure EVPN multihoming bonds with a Type-3 ESI (es-sys-mac plus a 3-byte es-id). |
5.0.0-5.6.0 | 5.7.0-5.10.1 |
| 3437980 |
If the number of bonds and its bond members exceeds the total number of physical ports on the switch
and LACP bypass is enabled, switchd might crash when frequent link flaps occur or switchd restarts. To work around this issue, disable LACP bypass. |
5.4.0 | 5.5.0-5.10.1 |
| 3436595 |
When using WJH, if you export dropped packets to a file in PCAP format, the file contains custom WJH header data. As a result, certain tools, such as Wireshark, cannot decode the data. To work around this issue, use the –no_metadata option with the export command:cumulus@switch:~$ what-just-happened poll –export –no_metadata |
5.4.0-5.5.1 | 5.6.0-5.10.1 |
| 3434791 |
Changing the ebgp-multihop setting for a BGP peer always resets the peer, even if the configured TTL value matches the existing TTL value of the peer. |
5.3.1-5.4.0 | 5.5.0-5.10.1 |
| 3433944 |
The wjh_dissector.lua WJH packet decoder script provided with Cumulus Linux might fail to decode all WJH packets. |
5.4.0-5.5.1 | 5.6.0-5.10.1 |
| 3432897 |
When you remove the restriction from a TACACS+ mapped user to remove per command authorization, the tacplus-restrict -R command does not restore ownership of restored files correctly. As a result, some commands might fail due to permission errors in the files or directories under the home directory. To work around this issue, run the sudo chown command to correct the ownership of the affected files and directories. |
5.0.0-5.4.0 | 5.5.0-5.10.1 |
| 3429530 |
On the Spectrum-2 and Spectrum-3 switch, multiple interfaces (in the same PLL quarter) might flap intermittently at the same time. | 4.2.1-5.4.0 | 5.5.0-5.10.1 |
| 3428677 |
In certain cases, Cumulus Linux does not process next hop updates because the zebra IP routing manager thinks the state of the next hops is unchanged. As a result, route installation fails and remains in a rejected state. |
5.3.0-5.6.0 | 5.7.0-5.10.1 |
| 3424967 |
sudo for TACACS+ users with privilege level 15 does not work when reaching the TACACS+ server through the default VRF. To work around this issue, specify the interface name that the default VRF uses in the vrf= setting of the /etc/tacplus_servers file or run the NVUE nv set system aaa tacacs vrf command. If you don’t run either command, a TACACS+ user with privilege level 15 can run vrf task exec default sudo … to execute the sudo command. |
5.0.0-5.10.1 | |
| 3420056 |
The ADVA 5401 SFP module with hardware revision 5.01 does not come up at layer 1 when you use 10G QSA adaptors. To work around this issue, use 25G QSA adaptors. | 4.4.0-4.4.5, 5.0.0-5.10.1 | |
| 3419928 |
The NVUE PIM timer command option names keep-alive and rp-keep-alive are inconsistent and need to change to keepalive and rp-keepalive. |
5.4.0-5.6.0 | 5.7.0-5.10.1 |
| 3418103 |
On the Spectrum-2 and Spectrum-3 switch, if you use module SPQCELRCDFB when connected to a 3rd party switch, you might see no link or a very long link up time (around two minutes). To work around this issue, bring down the port, then bring it back up. | 5.4.0 | 5.5.0-5.10.1 |
| 3413827 |
During upgrade, when one MLAG node is upgraded and the other MLAG node is not yet upgraded, permanent neighbors cannot synchronize between MLAG nodes. The clagctl dumppermanentneighs command only shows local neighbors. |
4.2.1-4.3.1, 4.4.0-5.4.0 | 4.3.2, 5.5.0-5.10.1 |
| 3413785 |
To reach the TACACS+ server through the default VRF, you must specify the egress interface you use in the default VRF. Either run the NVUE nv set system aaa tacacs vrf command (for example, nv set system aaa tacacs vrf swp51) or set the vrf= option in the /etc/tacplus_servers file (for example, vrf=swp51). A similar issue might prevent TACACS+ users with privilege level 15 from using sudo if the TACACS+ server is reachable only on the default VRF. If this occurs, and you do not run the above configuration workaround, the TACACS+ user with privilege level 15 can use vrf task exec default sudo … to execute the sudo command using the TACACS+ server on the default VRF. |
5.0.0-5.5.1 | 5.6.0-5.10.1 |
| 3410303 |
The NVUE command to set the frequency of LLDP updates nv set service lldp tx-interval and the NVUE command to set the amount of time to hold the information before discarding it nv set service lldp tx-hold-multiplier do not provide reasonable maximum and minimum values. Cumulus Linux 5.5.0 and later provides new values. For the nv set service lldp tx-interval command, you can now set a minimum value of 5 and a maximum value of 32768. For the nv set service lldp tx-hold command, you can set a minimum value of 1 and a maximum value of 8192. |
5.4.0 | 5.5.0-5.10.1 |
| 3409223 |
NGNIX might be listening on port 80 through its default configuration in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default. To work around this issue, run the following commands:cumulus@switch:~$ sudo rm -f /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/defaultcumulus@switch:~$ systemctl is-active nginx && sudo invoke-rc.d nginx restart |
5.4.0 | 5.5.0-5.10.1 |
| 3402935 |
For layer 3 interfaces configured on the switch, certain triggers, such as port flaps and subinterface flaps, or when configuring the ports to and from layer 2 and layer 3, cause the dummy internal VLAN to not free up, which can result in exhaustion of the dummy internal VLANs designated for the layer 3 interfaces. When this occurs, you see the following switchd log messages:ERR dummy internal vlans exhaustedERR cannot allocate vlan for sub-interface |
5.0.0-5.4.0 | 5.5.0-5.10.1 |
| 3397649 |
When an ECMP route is present in a non-default VRF, resilient hashing does not work as expected and flows might get remapped to a new next hop when the set of nexthops changes. | 5.4.0 | 5.5.0-5.10.1 |
| 3395247 |
The NVUE nv show system forwarding profile-option command reports an incorrect Max ipv4 mcast routes value. To work around this issue, validate values with cl-resource-query. |
5.4.0 | 5.5.0-5.10.1 |
| 3394674 |
If you restart FRR with the log file debugging level set to informational, BGP crashes. |
5.4.0-5.5.1 | 5.6.0-5.10.1 |
| 3393866 |
On a VX, NVUE commands with an argument parameter that can be multiple types (such as IPv4 and IPv6) do not provide auto complete or additional options when you use a question mark. | 5.4.0 | 5.5.0-5.10.1 |
| 3393306 |
The python-netaddr package is not preinstalled on the switch, which leads to an error similar to the following when SNMP accesses data from the CUMULUS-BGPVRF-MIBCUMULUS-BGPVRF-MIB::bgpPeerFsmEstablishedTransitions = No Such Instance currently exists at this OIDTo work around this issue, manually install the python-netaddr package with the sudo -E apt-get install python-netaddr command. |
5.3.1-5.4.0 | 5.5.0-5.10.1 |
| 3390758 |
The neighmgrd service does not enable the snooper unless ARP suppression is enabled on at least one VXLAN interface. This can result in missing ARP and NDP entries if the host does not directly interact with the switch. |
5.3.1-5.4.0 | 5.5.0-5.10.1 |
| 3389198 |
The NVUE nv unset command does not completely remove IPv6 DNS server configuration |
5.3.1-5.4.0 | 5.5.0-5.10.1 |
| 3388201 |
Cumulus Linux does not let you add an interface to the bond interface when the bridge-allow-untagged no option is present. |
5.4.0 | 5.5.0-5.10.1 |
| 3388067 |
TACACS+ packages in the local apt repository might be out of date; as a result, the upgrade does not install tacacs0 through tacacs15 users in the correct NVUE groups. When you run NVUE commands as a TACACS+ user, the commands fail and you see the error You do not have permission to execute that commandTo obtain the correct packages, install the tacplus-client package and its dependencies from apt.cumulusnetworks.com. |
5.1.0-5.4.0 | 5.5.0-5.10.1 |
| 3379873 |
apt source linux fails to download the Linux kernel source code. To work around this issue, run the sudo apt update && sudo apt install linux-source-5.10 command or download the desired version from https://apt.cumulusnetworks.com/repo/pool/cumulus/l/linux/ and install it with the sudo dpkg -i $filename command. The source code in a tar.xz file will then be located in the /usr/src/ directory. |
5.2.0-5.4.0 | 5.5.0-5.10.1 |
| 3378838 |
When configuring PTP, NVUE does not use the PTP priority2 setting but uses the priority1 setting instead. | 5.4.0 | 5.5.0-5.10.1 |
| 3378733 |
After you add or delete a static MAC entry on the bridge FDB, a core dump occurs if the interface is VXLAN and the MAC address is 00:00:00:00:00:00. | 5.4.0-5.5.1 | 5.6.0-5.10.1 |
| 3375071 |
On the NVIDIA SN2010 and SN2100 switch, smond indicates that the FAN status is BAD and syslog is flooded with Path /run/hw-management/thermal/fan1_status does not exist errors. When you run the smonctl -v command, the TEMP on switch looks OKcumulus@switch:~$ smonctl -vFan1(Fan 1): BAD fan:6931 RPM (max = 25000 RPM, min = 4500 RPM, limit_variance = 15%)Fan2(Fan 2): BAD fan:6619 RPM (max = 25000 RPM, min = 4500 RPM, limit_variance = 15%)Fan3(Fan 3): BAD fan:6931 RPM (max = 25000 RPM, min = 4500 RPM, limit_variance = 15%)Fan4(Fan 4): BAD fan:6720 RPM (max = 25000 RPM, min = 4500 RPM, limit_variance = 15%) |
5.1.0-5.4.0 | 5.5.0-5.10.1 |
| 3375047 |
If you run the NVUE nv set service snmp-server readonly-community command to set an SNMP V2 trap community string that includes fewer than eight characters, the configuration fails. The SNMP V2 trap community string must include eight or more characters. |
5.4.0 | 5.5.0-5.10.1 |
| 3362113 |
If you restore an NVUE startup.yaml file or run the nv config patch command after an upgrade that includes breakout ports with QoS configuration, the NVUE configuration fails to apply. Subsequent attempts to run nv config apply fail with a message similar to Invalid config [rev_id: 11] qos config is not supported on the following invalid interface: swp1s0. Supported on swp and bond interface types. To work around this issue, run nv unset on the configured QoS settings, then apply the breakout port configuration before you configure QoS. Alternatively, you can remove the QoS configuration from the yaml file and patch it separately after applying the breakout configuration. |
5.4.0-5.10.1 | |
| 3361904 |
The NVUE PTP shaping commands are available in the NVUE command list; however, these commands are disabled and do not configure PTP shaping. PTP shaping is not supported in Cumulus Linux 5.4. | 5.4.0 | 5.5.0-5.10.1 |
| 3351941 |
Cumulus Linux 5.4 package upgrade (apt-upgrade) does not support warm restart to complete the upgrade; performing an unsupported upgrade can result in unexpected or undesirable behavior, such as a traffic outage. |
5.4.0 | 5.5.0-5.10.1 |
| 3350789 |
NVUE deprecated the port split command options (2x10G, 2x25G, 2x40G, 2x50G, 2x100G, 2x200G, 4x10G, 4x25G, 4x50G, 4x100G, 8x50G) with no backwards compatibility. | 5.0.0-5.4.0 | 5.5.0-5.10.1 |
| 3350061 |
If you use TACACS+ authentication, modifying the TACACS+ configuration with NVUE might result in a timeout error when you run the nv config apply command. To work around the issue, restart the nvued service with the sudo systemctl restart nvued.service command, then apply the configuration again. |
5.4.0 | 5.5.0-5.10.1 |

On the Spectrum-2 and Spectrum-3 switch with ports operating at 1G speed, there is loss of frames that have an odd or random frame size. In the frame size range of 75 to 1000 bytes, there is frame loss of less than approximately one percent for all odd or random frame sizes in the range. In the frame size range greater than 1000 bytes, there is no loss observed. | 5.4.0 | 5.5.0-5.10.1 |
| 3349207 |
The switch does not learn MAC addresses from DHCP packets. When a DHCP enabled host is plugged in for the first time, it tries to obtain an IP address through DHCP. The switch does not learn the MAC address of the host when it receives these DHCP packets; therefore, the host MAC address is not updated in the local forwarding database and it does not get advertised across EVPN. The switch learns the MAC address when it receives other packets, such as ARP or ND from the host. To work around this issue, either configure a temporary IP address on the host to initiate ARP/ND or enable IPv6, which sends ND after link local address creation. | 5.2.0-5.4.0 | 5.5.0-5.10.1 |
| 3347677 |
In an MLAG configuration, when a link failure occurs on the peerlink or the peerlink shuts down, the switch in the secondary role attracts traffic to its local VTEP as it advertises the local VTEP IP address momentarily just before the VXLAN device is protodown. This traffic is dropped for a brief moment (between 5 and 10 seconds) because the MLAG bonds on the secondary switch are already protodown. | 5.1.0-5.6.0 | 5.7.0-5.10.1 |
