v1.5.5rcX Bug Reports and Comments

[Ludvik]

switch 10.106.29.195/28 gw 10.106.29.193
vlan 10.106.56.202/28

After some testing, it appears that IPv6 does require a little bit of debugging when the config disables it. VLAN IP's do seem to have an issue. Do you mind letting me know what IP you assigned to your VLAN's as well as the IP your switch was at? This will help while I work on this.
I will try and add that in before the final release.

BDPU packets do not cross switches whether STP is disabled or not.

Some switches do forward BPDU. For example UBNT ToughSwitch ... One mikrotik connected to UBNT triggered a root-guard on a switch connected behind the UBNT TS. I didn't believe it before, until I saw it.

Arista: Spanning tree is disabled by the spanning-tree mode command with the none option. The switch does not generate STP packets. Switchport interfaces forward packets when connected to other ports. The switch forwards inbound STP packets as multicast data packets on the VLAN where they are received.

EdgeCore has command spanning-tree port-bpdu-flooding. Enabled by default.

This command floods BPDUs to other ports when spanning tree is disabled
globally or disabled on a specific port. Use the no form to restore the
default setting
When enabled, BPDUs are flooded to all other ports on the switch or to
all other ports within the receiving port’s native VLAN as specified by
the spanning-tree system-bpdu-flooding command.

That's why I ask you.

Thank you for the info. It will be useful.

Well I must admit I'm surprised that other manufacturer's allow that. It seems like a mistake to me because it could interfere with STP convergence or possibly worse, it could result in a broadcast storm that STP is designed to prevent. I know that cisco has feature's like PortFast and BPDUGuard which in essence disables STP to allow link's to activate quicker, but with BPDUGuard active, if the switch that has STP disabled detect's any BPDU packets it immediately disables that port for the reason's stated above.

I found a problem with 1.5.5-rc2 at one of our sites. We're using FiberStore SFPs, it's a 8km link back to a ASR9000. When running -rc2 the SFP link will constantly go up/down.

Also the port indicator on the top part of the UI gives no SFP vendor details on 1.5.5-rc2, works on older versions.

I've attached the syslog below. There's a few entries with me changing settings to try to resolve the packet loss. We did a cold power cycle as well, did not help. Only the downgrade to 1.5.4 did. Cisco on the other end was also seeing the link flap, nothing special setup on that port.

[Stephen]

By any chance do you have an IP address assigned to a VLAN?

[mayheart]

Nope, just a IP configured for management.

I've actually never used this IP on VLAN feature.

[Stephen]

OK, if possible can you provide me with screenshots of your tabs for Status, Ports, VLAN, LAG, STP, ERPS, and Device->Config?

A few edge cases like this are beginning to creep in. Anyone seeing this in their logs continuously:

Code: Select all

monitor: restarting vtss_appl


Is what causes the packet loss.

Please provide all the details you can - these seem to be isolated to particular situations and we need to hammer this down before we can finish 1.5.5


mayheart,

Is this the module you are using?
FiberStore SFP

I need to acquire some so I can replicate this scenario.

I've sent you a PM with a ZIP of all the screenshots.

This switch isn't also in production yet so I could upgrade it back to 1.5.5-b2 and you could tinker with it if you wish.

[Stephen]

Actually what would probably help the most would be if you would be willing to run some test firmware on the switch? If you are, let me know and I'll send you a PM for the link when it's ready.

[mayheart]

Sure, I don't mind. Let me know when/if you wanna test a custom image.

[Stephen]

OK - I will PM you a link to a test image I'm working with shortly.
