Bug ID

Description

CSCvz75894

Headline: N9500-R/N3600-R hardware application counters may get corrupted

Symptoms: N9500-R/N3600-R running 9.3(x) version of converged code may experience hardware counter corruption causing specific application counters to show incorrect information.

Workarounds: Reload will clear the issue but the issue can resurface.

CSCwb30246

Headline: N9500-R/N3600-R CoPP incorrectly matches fragmented UDP packet with UDP PTP port payload as PTP pkt

Symptoms: N9500-R/N3600-R running 9.3.x or 10.2.x version of code matches incorrectly by CoPP redirect class mcast/ucast UDP fragmented packets with UDP PTP ports payload (319/320) as PTP packets.

Workarounds: None

CSCwb48527

Headline: PVLAN RACL filtering not happening for PVLAN SVI

Symptoms: RACL filtering is not happening for PVLAN VLAN. (Traffic match not happening for PVLAN SVI.)

Workarounds: None

CSCwb60344

Headline: PVLAN Consistency checker failed for Primary VLAN

Symptoms: PVLAN consistency checker failed for Primary VLAN in the latest 10.2.3 build

Workarounds: None

Bug ID

Description

CSCvz39153

Headline: N9500-R/N3600 break link-local control-plane adj for connected L3 devices

Symptoms: N9500-R/N3600 running 9.3.8 version of code breaks link-local control-plane adjacencies (e.g. OSPF) for connected L3 devices. When igmp snooping is disabled, link-local control-plane works but this prevents multicast traffic to be forwarded as pim cannot be enabled on SVI with disabled igmp snooping for respective vlan.

Workarounds: None
