5.6.0 Release Notes
Open Issues in 5.6.0
| 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 |
| 3955615 |
Cumulus Linux does not recognize QSFP_CMIS optical modules correctly. | 5.6.0-5.9.1 | 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 |
| 3917601 |
If a packet containing an all zero source MAC address (00:00:00:00:00:00) is learned on the ASIC, switchd sends the learn notification to the kernel but the kernel rejects the MAC address as invalid. The ASIC continuously sends the mac-learn notifications, which wastes CPU resources. To work around this issue, configure ACLs to match on the all-zero source MAC address and drop the invalid packets. |
5.5.0-5.9.1 | 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 |
| 3863858 |
VRR interfaces might show dadfailed on their IPv6 link-local address. |
5.6.0-5.8.0 | 5.9.0-5.10.1 |
| 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 |
| 3854807 |
When you enable Optimized Multicast Flooding (OMF) and change VLAN configuration, a few ports might carry multicast traffic even when they are not in the MDB or they are not router ports. | 5.6.0-5.9.1 | 5.9.2-5.10.1 |
| 3854800 |
The switch forwards multicast traffic to the CPU when PIM is enabled globally, regardless of the interface configuration. | 5.6.0-5.9.1 | 5.9.2-5.10.1 |
| 3824750 |
With the nvidia.nvue Ansible module, NVUE honors input from the Ansible module only; if you do not provide the full configuration, NVUE generates an exception. To work around this issue, always provide the full configuration. |
5.6.0-5.8.0 | 5.9.0-5.10.1 |
| 3782996 |
If you have installed a large number ACLs, you might see a switchd memory leak over a period of time that stops the switchd process because it is out of memory . |
5.6.0-5.8.0 | 5.9.0-5.10.1 |
| 3782543 |
When you configure the BGP setting bgp max-med on-startup with vtysh, the MED on some peers might not be set to 4294967294 as expected on startup. The max-med might also fail to reset after the startup timer expires. |
5.6.0-5.8.0 | 5.9.0-5.10.1 |
| 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 | |
| 3766994 |
Cumulus Linux 5.6 and 5.7 do not include FRR log rotation, which can result in a very large log file that affects disk usage. To work around this issue, run the following commands as the cumulus user on the Cumulus Linux 5.6 or 5.7 switch. The commands do not impact any other system function.cumulus@switch:~$ wget https://download.nvidia.com/cumulus/apt.cumulusnetworks.com/repo/pool/cumulus/f/frr-logrotate/frr-logrotate_8.4.3-0+cl5.7.0u1_amd64.deb |
5.6.0-5.7.0 | 5.8.0-5.10.1 |
| 3765395 |
The nv unset nve vxlan flooding and nv set nve vxlan flooding enable off commands do not disable BUM flooding. To work around this issue, disable BUM flooding with vtysh commands:leaf01# configure terminal |
5.5.0-5.8.0 | 5.9.0-5.10.1 |
| 3753050 |
On Spectrum 1 switches, switchd might crash due to an SDK health event or error. |
5.6.0-5.8.0 | 5.9.0-5.10.1 |
| 3751952 |
ifupdown2 tries to set the multicast database hash elasticity (bridge-hashel attribute) with a value of 4096. However, this attribute is now deprecated in the Linux kernel and the value is always 16. |
5.5.1-5.7.0 | 5.8.0-5.10.1 |
| 3739008 |
The Lenovo MSN4600-VS2RC (PN SSG7B27990 Back-to-Front/C2P Airflow) might run the fan tray fans at a high speed because the software believes the PSU fans are running in the wrong direction. | 5.5.1-5.8.0 | 5.9.0-5.10.1 |
| 3738626 |
If you configure a VNI before an SVI, you can’t add or remove the VRR address from the SVI. To work around this issue, configure the SVI before the VNI. | 5.6.0-5.7.0 | 5.8.0-5.10.1 |
| 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 |
| 3712007 |
In RSTP mode when there is a bridge port flap, Cumulus Linux flushes, then re-adds dynamic MAC addresses on the peer link, which might cause short traffic disruption. | 5.6.0-5.7.0 | 5.8.0-5.10.1 |
| 3710396 |
In an eBGP multihop configuration with dynamic neighbors, Cumulus Linux does not update the configured TTL but uses the MAXTTL instead. This issue is only observed with dynamic peers. | 5.6.0-5.7.0 | 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 |
| 3698680 |
If you run the ifreload -a command when ACLs exist but nonatomic update mode is set in the switchd.conf file, traffic pauses on unaffected interfaces. |
5.6.0-5.7.0 | 5.8.0-5.10.1 |
| 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 |
| 3686389 |
When you use NVUE commands to configure an untagged VLAN (PVID) on a bridge to a non-default value, nv show bridge commands still indicate that the untagged VLAN is 1 (the default value). The untagged VLAN you configured is properly set on bridge ports, but displays incorrectly in operational NVUE show commands. |
5.6.0-5.7.0 | 5.8.0-5.10.1 |
| 3684998 |
DHCP lease information is not collected in the cl-support file. |
4.3.0-5.6.0 | 5.7.0-5.10.1 |
| 3684268 |
When multiple interfaces have addresses in the same network, deleting one of them might cause the wrong connected route from being deleted. | 5.6.0 | 5.7.0-5.10.1 |
| 3671288 |
Routes and/or next-hops will no-longer be installed in kernel, and traffic related to these routes and/or next-hops will not be forwarded correctly. Flapping of EVPN prefixes from BGP updates and withdraws sometimes causes a race condition where the routes are never re-installed. An example of a trigger that can lead to this problem is a flapping peerlink. A reboot of each switch with missing routes will recover from this issue. | 5.6.0-5.7.0 | 5.8.0-5.10.1 |
| 3669935 |
When you add or delete VXLAN VNI and VLAN interfaces, a memory leak might occur in switchd. |
5.6.0 | 5.7.0-5.10.1 |
| 3668939 |
When you enable MIB 1.3.6.1.4.1.40310.1 in the snmpd.conf file, you might see high CPU usage by the snmpd service. |
5.5.1-5.6.0 | 5.7.0-5.10.1 |
| 3668809 |
SN2410 switches manufactured or sold by OEMs (not Mellanox) might contain fans that do not support system fan direction detection. As a result, the following messages occur in the log:/usr/sbin/smond : : Path /run/hw-management/thermal/fan1_dir does not exist/usr/sbin/smond : : Path /run/hw-management/thermal/fan2_dir does not exist smond has been modified to determine dynamically (at run-time) if the fan has the capability. To drop the messages before they get to the log, create a file, such as /etc/rsyslog.d/18-drop_fan_dir_msgs.conf with the following contents, then restart rsyslogd with the systemctl restart rsyslog command# The lines below cause the offending message to be dropped from all logs:msg, ereregex, “.*Path /run/hw-management/thermal/fan[1-8]_dir does not exist” stop |
5.6.0 | 5.7.0-5.10.1 |
| 3664986 |
If a core file is generated with a space in the name, Cumulus Linux generates cl-support files until the file is removed. To work around this issue, rename the core file without the space character. The next cl-support file generated will be moved into the cl-support archive and removed from the filesystem. | 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 |
| 3662354 |
When you enable the FRR SNMP agent (agentx) and configure routing adjacencies with short timers (dead, keepalive, and hold time), the routing adjacencies might go down in certain scenarios; for example when you have frequent or concurrent client SNMP requests, you use custom SNMP MIB extensions, you poll OIDs with large responses, or during high CPU load. To work around this issue, you can increase the routing adjacency timers to accommodate SNMP processing. | 5.6.0 | 5.7.0-5.10.1 |
| 3655043 |
After you upgrade to Cumulus Linux 5.6.0 with package upgrade, configuration changes you make with NVUE commands do not apply and you see the error message Invalid config [rev_id: 4] Default profile parameters can not be modified. Modification allowed on user created profiles. To workaround this issue:1. Remove the PTP configuration using the nv unset service ptp 1 enable syntax2. Save the configuration nv config apply. 3. Re-add the PTP config. Note: this procedure results in a switchd restart which will have an impact on the data plane. |
5.6.0 | 5.7.0-5.10.1 |
| 3655027 |
If you create a new snippet with the same name as a snippet you deleted, you receive a warning message. To work around this issue, create the new snippet with a different name than any removed snippets. | 5.6.0 | 5.7.0-5.10.1 |
| 3650661 |
Configuration changes to an already applied custom flexible snippet that includes a service restart does not restart the service when you apply the patch. | 5.6.0 | 5.7.0-5.10.1 |
| 3646119 |
If you have VRFs configured and you change the global ASN in FRR, BGP crashes. To work around this issue, don’t unset more than one BGP instance at a time if one of the router bgp instances has VRF leaking configured. |
5.6.0 | 5.7.0-5.10.1 |
| 3644473 |
When bulk interface flaps trigger, Cumulus Linux does not process the route.route_preferred_over_neigh=both configuration correctly due to the sequence of the events that occur when switchd creates and processes the route or neighbor and nexthop group. |
5.6.0 | 5.7.0-5.10.1 |
| 3643624 |
The help text for the NVUE policer command nv set acl incorrectly indicates that the policer mode units are in bits per second. NVUE configures policers using bytes per second. |
5.6.0 | 5.7.0-5.10.1 |
| 3639058 |
When you run the nv show service ntp command, you see an error message instead of the expected output. |
5.6.0 | 5.7.0-5.10.1 |
| 3632843 |
When the switch receives a type-5 route in BGP and there is a network statement for the same prefix, BGP sometimes removes the request to track next hops from FRR. As next hop reachability changes, BGP no longer reacts to the change. To work around this issue, run the clear bgp * command for all peerings. |
5.6.0-5.7.0 | 5.8.0-5.10.1 |
| 3630492 |
On the NVIDIA SN2201 switch, the ledmgrd -d command output shows the system and PSU LED status as orange when the physical LED is green. |
5.5.1-5.7.0 | 5.8.0-5.10.1 |
| 3627913 |
The switch drops untagged VLAN traffic on single VXLAN bridge ports. | 5.6.0 | 5.7.0-5.10.1 |
| 3616643 |
NVUE commands to set a route map exit policy match produce incorrect configuration in the /etc/frr/frr.conf file. |
5.6.0 | 5.7.0-5.10.1 |
| 3616338 |
When you reboot an MLAG switch with 3000 or more VNIs, there might be extended traffic loss during reboot. To work around this issue, configure the clagd service initDelay to 300 seconds with the nv set mlag init-delay 300 command. |
5.5.1-5.6.0 | 5.7.0-5.10.1 |
| 3614286 |
To avoid unnecessary traffic loss, ifreload (ifupdown2) only flaps a bond to reset its MAC address when the bond MAC address is not present on any of the bond’s interfaces. Previously, ifupdown2 enforced the bond MAC address to be set to the MAC address of the first interface. |
5.6.0-5.7.0 | 5.8.0-5.10.1 |
| 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 |
| 3612959 |
The interface name for a VLAN subinterface does not show correctly; the VLAN is appended to the interface again. | 5.6.0 | 5.7.0-5.10.1 |
| 3611215 |
In an EVPN multihoming configuration, the switchd service produces error messages similar to the following:2023-09-07T15:45:56.055477+02:00 switch1 switchd7903: hal_mlx_flx_acl.c:2388 hal_mlx_flx_region_pull_bulk_counters failedThese error messages do not affect how the switch functions; however the messages fill up the switchd logs, which is not desirable. |
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 |
| 3610611 |
Cumulus Linux assigns an IPv4 and IPv6 loopback address to a VRF interface by default. As a result, ping and route lookups for unique remote IP addresses on different VTEPs might not work if there is no source IP on the switch that belongs to the same subnet. To work around this issue, remove the loopback address on the VRF with the nv unset vrf ping command to use a source address (such as an SVI address) with the ip vrf exec command. |
5.5.0-5.6.0 | 5.7.0-5.10.1 |
| 3609128 |
When you use vi with root or sudo, visual mode is enabled by default due to a missing vimrc configuration file. This makes it difficult to copy and paste into vi. In CL5.7.0, the default configuration now includes set mouse-=aIn addition, the CL5.7.0 default configuration for vi now disables modelines, which can be a security risk. |
5.5.0-5.6.0 | 5.7.0-5.10.1 |
| 3608014 |
Software MAC learning might not work for a bridged VLAN subinterface on a bond (such as bond1.100) if you remove a VLAN subinterface completely from the configuration, then add it back with an identical configuration. To work around this issue, restart switchd. |
5.6.0 | 5.7.0-5.10.1 |
| 3606739 |
The thermal control service, hw-management-tc.service, stops and switch fan speeds run at 100% when the ASIC temperature can’t be read. This can occur if the SDK is not started. |
5.5.1-5.6.0 | 5.7.0-5.10.1 |
| 3603237 |
If the secondary MLAG peer continuously reboots, you might experience momentary traffic loss. | 5.5.1-5.6.0 | 5.7.0-5.10.1 |
| 3600588 |
You can’t reset the root password by booting into Cumulus Linux single-user recovery mode. To work around this issue, follow the steps in https://docs.nvidia.com/networking-ethernet-software/cumulus-linux-56/Monitoring-and-Troubleshooting/Single-User-Mode-Password-Recovery/. | 5.6.0 | 5.7.0-5.10.1 |
| 3599699 |
Cumulus Linux assigns an IPv4 and IPv6 loopback address to a VRF interface by default. As a result, ping and route lookups for unique remote IP addresses on different VTEPs might not work if there is no source IP on the switch that belongs to the same subnet. To work around this issue, remove the loopback address on the VRF with the nv unset vrf command. Only remove the loopback address if you are not running NTP as NTP requires a loopback address to work. Alternatively, you can change the ping command to use a source address (such as an SVI address) with the ip vrf exec command. |
5.5.0-5.6.0 | 5.7.0-5.10.1 |
| 3597456 |
NVUE does not allow you to use the reserved name lo in an interface name. |
5.5.1-5.6.0 | 5.7.0-5.10.1 |
| 3590394 |
Under rare conditions, running NVUE commands that capture output larger than 4k bytes from Linux tools or utilities might result in failures with 500 INTERNAL SERVER ERROR or Unrecoverable internal error messages. This issue occurs when there are non-ascii characters in large outputs that Cumulus Linux can’t decode. This failure is observed only in Cumulus Linux 5.6 and earlier. | 5.6.0 | 5.7.0-5.10.1 |
| 3587393 |
If you use the NVIDIA SN5600 (Spectrum-4) switch with Ixia test equipment, you might experience delayed link up due to intermittent link flaps. To work around this issue when using copper cables:
To work around this issue when using fiber cables:
|
5.6.0-5.10.1 | |
| 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 |
| 3582826 |
When you enable the FRR SNMP agent (agentx) and configure routing adjacencies with short timers (dead, keepalive, and hold time), the routing adjacencies might go down in certain scenarios; for example when you have frequent or concurrent client SNMP requests, you use custom SNMP MIB extensions, you poll OIDs with large responses, or during high CPU load. To work around this issue, you can increase the routing adjacency timers to accommodate SNMP processing. | 5.5.0-5.6.0 | 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 |
| 3576961 |
The NVUE command to clear all ACL counters at once is not available. To work around this issue, run the cl-acltool -Z all command to reset the statistics for all ACL rules. |
5.5.1-5.6.0 | 5.7.0-5.10.1 |
| 3575800 |
When you configure the peerlink interface with NVUE but do not configure the necessary MLAG parameters with nv set mlag commands (such as the backup IP address, peer IP address, and MLAG MAC address), NVUE apply fails with the following message:
|
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 |
| 3566980 |
When running DHCP relay for IPv6 and a downstream interface flaps more than once, relaying might stop working. To recover, restart the dhcrelay6 service, making sure the specified downstream interfaces are up and running. |
5.5.0-5.6.0 | 5.7.0-5.10.1 |
| 3556762 |
On rare occasions, SPT switchover might not happen cleanly in PIM resulting in some dropped packets. If you use PIM-SM to replicate EVPN BUM traffic, you might see a brief drop of multicast traffic before recovering due to normal PIM-SM traffic timeout. | 5.5.0-5.10.1 | |
| 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 |
| 3546857 |
The nv show bridge vlan command does not show tagged and untagged VLAN information for the bridge |
5.6.0-5.8.0 | 5.9.0-5.10.1 |
| 3541653 |
During warm boot with layer 3 traffic, you might experience packet loss for approximately 15 milliseconds. | 5.6.0-5.8.0 | 5.9.0-5.10.1 |
| 3538321 |
In rare cases, an STP topology change on PTP over a VLAN can result in the switch losing the slave state and one of the ports might remain in an uncalibrated state. To work around this issue, toggle the port that is in the uncalibrated state up and down so that one of the ports is selected as the slave. | 5.6.0-5.10.1 | |
| 3534718 |
The BGP command to suppress longer prefixes inside the aggregate address before sending updates (nv set vrf or vtysh router bgp ) does not suppress more specific routes from being exported into the EVPN routing table and advertised as EVPN type-5 routes. To work around this issue, announce EVPN type-5 routes by adding an additional outbound policy or export policy to filter out the more specific routes. |
5.5.0-5.6.0 | 5.7.0-5.10.1 |
| 3533272 |
If you set an OSPF network and define the subnet using a host address (such as 10.1.1.2/24) instead of the (starting) subnet network address (such as 10.1.1.0/24), you can’t unset the prefix with the nv unset vrf default router ospf area network command. Avoid defining the subnet using a host address when setting an OSPF network. |
5.6.0 | 5.7.0-5.10.1 |

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). |

When BGP receives an EVPN type-5 route with a gateway IP overlay attribute, the gateway IP overlay attribute in the attr memory (which is already inserted in the attribute hash) might change. As a result, the modified attr memory might match with another attr in the attribute hash, which produces duplicate entries in the hash table. As a result, BGP might crash when deleting one of the duplicate attr structures. |
4.3.0-4.3.1 |
| 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. |

| 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 |
| 3474427 |
On rare occasions, LLDP and other CPU originated IP packets that egress a port might get replicated in the data plane and forwarded out of another port as well. The peer node might discard the unicast packets on the wrong port because of the destination MAC address; however, there might be problems with multicast packets, such as LLDP, which uses a multicast MAC address as the destination MAC address. To work around this issue, reboot the switch. | |
| 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. |

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. |

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 |

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. |
