We carefully evaluate and monitor code deployment data to ensure that product releases meet our stringent expectations to provide our customers with reliable products and solutions.

Dust or chemical contamination at the endface of a fiber optic LC connector or transceiver module impedes signaling. Dell engineering teams have verified cases in which a fully functional port appears to be a bad port because dirty optical connectors manifest as a port failing loop testing with acceptable power measurement levels. Cable connectors should be cleaned and when stored must be protected from dust particle or chemical contamination.

Upgrading switches from 7.2.1a to 7.3.1d and experienced FSPF link issues on multiple ISL ports causing routing issues and subsequent impact to the environment during the upgrade. ISL trunks to edge switches were bounced from the core switch to recover the ISL links.

How to recover from hung state on Management Ethernet port, with no access using webtools, telnet, or SSH

ED-DCX6 upgrades from v8.1 to 8.2.x may create a condition that allows the VF configuration file PORTMAP entry to exceed its character limitation, causing a panic.

Before replacing the optic, follow the procedure in the video for cleaning cables.

ISL bounce doesn't change time on the interface but rather the logical port channel

Unable to reset Factory password.

Maps daemon (MDD) terminates and causes the CPs to go out of synchronization.

This issue occurs when you collect the SNMP Walk against HA-MIB FRU table OID (iso.3.6.1.4.1.1588.2.1.2.1.5.1.3), switch would return "nosuchname" error.

The ESRS plugin scripts fills up the temp directory and space on the switch which might results in NXOS crash.

IVR events in logging log when activating regular vsan zoneset in enhanced mode

Brocade Switches do not merge after one has been cleared of its configuration.

Flow monitors are configured to count the Initiator or Target (IT) flows to a device. Because of zoning and device activity, the number of flows has surpassed the threshold for the PIDs for which the alerts were triggered.

Unable to bring port online due to exceeded Bit Error threshold.
