Known Issues:
- You cannot use the $ symbol as the first character in the name or password of a site.
- Physical Topology: Some M4500 switch MLAG ports do not appear in the port monitoring table.
Workaround: Use the single switch monitoring function to monitor the connected links. - Physical Topology: Fan-out ports on an M4500 switch MLAG cannot be added to the link monitoring list.
Workaround: Use the single switch monitoring function to monitor the connected links. - The auto-stacking function on the M4300 and M4350 switches does not support the M4300-96X model.
Workaround: Use CLI commands if an M4300-96X model must be a member of a stack. - You can’t display the EEPROM information for certain fiber modules.
Workaround: Use the switch CLI to display the EEPROM information. - Connection requests might be refused during the onboarding process of an M4500 switch.
Workaround: Try again until the connection request is successful. - The ‘Site Neighbors’ table doesn’t auto-refresh.
Workaround: Click the Refresh button to update the table. - The Engage UI and the AV UI allow an AVB profile configuration on stacked M4350 switches.
Workaround: Don’t configure an AVB profile on stacked M4350 switches because this configuration isn’t supported. - The management VLAN ID is inconsistent for onboarded devices if a pre-existing management VID doesn’t match with the current site settings.
Workaround: Be sure that the management VLAN ID is the same across the entire site before you upgrade the firmware.
