Introduction
1 Introduction
This document is the MLNX-OS® Release Notes for Ethernet.
MLNX-OS® is a comprehensive management software solution that provides optimal perfor-
mance for cluster computing, enterprise data centers, and cloud computing over Mellanox
SwitchX®, and Spectrum™ IC families. The fabric management capabilities ensure the highest
fabric performance while the chassis management ensures the longest switch up time.
The MLNX-OS® documentation package includes the following documents:
• User Manual – provides general information about the scope, organization and command line
interface of MLNX-OS® as well as basic configuration examples
• Release Notes – provides information on the supported platforms, changes and new features,
and reports on software known issues as well as bug fixes
The Mellanox Community also offers useful end-to-end and special HowTo guides at:

4.3 IP Routing Known Issues

1. IPv6 DHCP-Relay None default UDP port is not supported for N/A
IPv6 DHCP-R.
2. IPv6 Routing IPv4 mapped address is not supported. N/A
3. IPv6 Routing IPv6 is not supported for SwitchX®-2 N/A
based switch systems.
4. IPv6 Routing IPv6 is supported only on the default VRF. N/A
5. ARP Under stress of ARP learning and aging, Allow software events
some ARP messages are not learned to hold unlimited notifi-
cation length.
6. In-band Manage- IPv6 in-band management does not work Enable IPv6 routing for

Known Issues

7. IP Interfaces ICMP echo packets are not counted as part ICMP packets are
of the VLAN interface counters. counted in the interface
L2 counters.
8. IP Interfaces The maximum number of L3 interfaces N/A
that can be configured is 64.
9. Router Port Router ports are not supported on SX10xx- N/A
xxxR and SX60xx-xxxR systems.
10. Router Port It is not possible to add or remove member Physical port must
interfaces from a LAG, or delete that LAG explicitly be changed
when it is configured as a router port. from “no switchport” to
“switchport” so that
router capabilities are
reset from physical
port.
11. Router Port ICMP redirect is not supported over router N/A
port.
12. Router Port Setting a 802.1Q mode on a router port N/A
does not function properly.
13. Router Port A trunk port which is configured as router Configure the port to
port does not receive traffic to the host access mode (using the
interface. command “switchport
mode access”) before
making it a router port.
14. LLDP A port connected to a router-port receives N/A
from it an LLDP packet containing IPv4
and IPv6 management addresses. How-
ever, the IPv6 address is not included in the
LLDP MIB as a remote management
address. Only the IPv4 remote manage-
ment address is published.
15. IP Diagnostic Tools While using invoked shell commands such N/A
as ping, traceroute, tcpdump, for egressing
from a specific router interface use “-I/i
vlan<vlan id>”. For example, to ping
10.10.10.10 via interface VLAN 30 run the
command: “ping 10.10.10.10 -I vlan30”.

Known Issues

16. IP Routing SwitchX®-2: LAG and L3 ECMP Hash Change the distribution
functions lack the configuration of a ran- function between lay-
domization seed parameter. Traffic passed ers performing LAG or
over LAG or L3 ECMP in hierarchy topol- L3 ECMP using the
ogy via multiple SwitchX based systems is command “port-channel
not distributed evenly. load-balance” or “ip
load-sharing”. The
workaround is applica-
ble in case there are
multiple mixed flows.
17. IP Routing In IP Routing mode, multicast or broadcast N/A
packets such as ARP may be counted as
“RX discard” in case only one interface is
a member of the VLAN. These kind of
packets do reach the CPU for processing.
The progressing counter can be ignored.
18. IP Routing The configuration of “ip arp timeout” does N/A
not affect entries related to gateway, out-
of-band, or management interfaces.
19. Multicast Spectrum™: Static MC is not supported. N/A
20. OSPF The undocumented command “show ip N/A
ospf statistics” is no longer supported.
21. OSPF Removing a static ID using the command N/A
“no router-id” requires at least one L3
interface to be configured.
22. OSPF On PPC systems, OSPF supports learning N/A
of up to 4K routes.
23. OSPF Reverse packet filtering is not supported. N/A
When mis-configured, traffic may pass on
an unintended subnets.
24. DHCP DHCP-client is not functional. Use static IP instead.
25. DHCP Relay Running “clear ip dhcp relay counters” on N/A
a specific instance in a non-default VRF
deletes counters in all VRF.
26. DHCP Relay DHCP Relay is not supported on A1 N/A
SwitchX® based switch systems.
27. DHCP Relay IPv6 DHCP instance status is not accurate when Check if IPv6 is
VRF auto-helper is enabled. enabled on interfaces in
the VRF.

Known Issues

28. DHCP Relay IPv6 Running IPv6 DHCP-R fails if there is no N/A
upstream interface and if the downstream
interface does not have an IPv6 address
assigned or enabled.
29. VRRP Using the same Virtual IP (VIP) as the N/A
VLAN interface is not supported.
30. VRRP Upon enabling IP routing, VRRP protocol N/A
only becomes visible after VRRP is con-
figured on any L3 interface.
31. MAGP Designated traffic, such as ping, to the N/A
MAGP interface is not supported.
32. PIM MRoute entries learned via PIM remains N/A
when the interface is shutdown until the
timer expires.
33. PIM Static MRoutes are not deleted from the N/A
hardware upon interface deletion even
though they do not appear in the running
config anymore.
34. BFD The command “show ip route” does not N/A
display the BFD protection flag for both
OSPF and BGP added.
35. BFD A BFD session is not signaled as removed N/A

36. BFD BFD is supported for 100 sessions. N/A
37. BGP If the local network address is received N/A
from a neighbor as well, it is not learned.
38. BGP Route reflection client is only configured After configuring route
after performing “shutdown” then “no reflection, client admin

39. BGP IGP metric does not influence route selec- N/A

ent IGPs.

50. BGP When running both BGP and OSPF, N/A
changing the configuration of the com-
mand “router bgp <AS> <external dis-

split ports.
5. Shared Buffers With complex buffer configuration, interfaces still display ingress dis-
card counters after switch reload.
6. Events Switch is nonfunctional due to memory allocation failure due to
receiving numerous events in the system related mainly to LLDP.
