New Features
• Fast Ring Enhancements
The Fast Ring solution includes intuitive Fast Ring CLI command syntax and the ability to
configure an AG port as a Ring Port.
Note: the previous CLI syntax is supported.
• New MPLS Cisco Compliant mode
A new CLI command mpls Cisco-compliant was added. The new command enables to
establish an LDP session when connecting to Cisco 3750 .
• MPLS QoS Enhancement
This version sets the EXP field of a transmitted MPLS packet according to its defined
queue priority. This enables to assure MPLS packets will not be dropped on the part-
ner side.
• CES Module and Interface MIB Enhancement
This version adds CES ports to the IFTable and sends Link-Up / Link-Down traps for
CES TDM ports. Additionally, a new trap is added for module insertion/removal
(sysIntfModuleChange).
• T-Bridge SFP Support on 100BaseFX ports
This version supports up to 8 T-Bridge SFPs, allowing to transport Ethernet over the
following TDM interface types: T1, E1, T3, E3.

Problem
Notes
8892 ACL Removed CLI limitation for
setting rate limit and marking
in the same Access List.
10155 3160 ACL VPT marking did not color
packets when ACL with
packet color setting was
applied.
10169 3519 ACL ACL running configuration
command for tagged redirectwas not saved correctly in the
running configuration.
10197 3346 ACL "tSecTask:No free FFP
resources left on port" error
message could appear, on
specific situations, even if the
resources were still available.
CES Instantaneous bit error was
introduced to all the circuits
when timeslot mapping was
changed in the same CES
module.
CESPrevious image version re-
quired coupling between the
CES firmware version and
7250 software image. Now
there is no restriction on CES
firmware version.
CES In some cases, the CES
module caused bit errors for10-30 seconds after 50-60
hours of operation, when
operating in T1 mode with
internal clock..

CES In some cases, the CES
module reached yellow alarm
or loss of framing state after
reset , when operating in T1
mode with internal clock.

3311 CES When issuing the command
"show circut " in the
CES node, the display of the
bytes in field "Frames/Bytes
in payload" was not correct
for T1 mode.
9561 CESWhen using Metro-Ethernet
header for a circuit, and
when the user does not spec-ify the destination MAC ad-
dress, we now prevent send-
ing traffic until MAC ad-
dress is retrieved from the
destination IP address or un-
til MAC address is set by the
user. Note that, the circuit
will still be displayed as en-
abled, but the traffic will not
flow.
10091 CES In some cases, the CESmodule introduced CAS
signaling errors, when
operating in T1 mode with
internal clock..

3160 CLIVarious CLI tables were
aligned according to the cus-tomer requests.
OAMMEF OAM over VPLS im-
plementation was added.
oam bridge [x] vpls com-
mand identifies OAM do-
main operating over all
VPLS instances. This actu-ally enables OAM domain to
work over VPLS instance.
9986 OAM In some configurations,
priority of OAM packets was
always zero.
10125 OAMMEF OAM connectivity
check message was inopera-
tive in various configura-
tions. In these cases, OAM
was non functional.
10125 OAM OAM is now compatible with
different Ethertype value for
VLAN.
QoS High priority traffic was
dropped when it exceeded
the rate limit. Now it is
possible to color it yellow
and not drop it. Use the new
‘mark-yellow’ command
(see below).
QoSCalculation of rates was
based on 1M=1024K instead
of 1M=1000K.
9953 QoS Single rate limit did not color
the traffic correctly. Now it
is possible to use one meter
and 2 colors - Yellow and
Green. As a result – TOS and
VPT remarking is functional.
9967 3346 QoS Rate limit for single rate was
incorrect.

show correct value for CESmodules.
9449 VPLSIt was possible to define both
“TLS enable” and “VPLS
mode qualified/unqualified”.
The CLI is now adjusted to
allow only one of the above
modes at a time on the de-
vice.
9959 VPLSFixed stability issue in VPLS
configuration in large OSPF
networks.
10039 VPLSChanged the naming from
VLL to SDP in the output of
'show vpls'.

BiNOS Application Known Issues
Pr# Issue# Category Description of Known Issues Notes
3593 ACL Problem with "rate-limit" command
and exceed action. Even though ex-
ceed action is not defined – show
running configuration shows this
command.
8667 ACL IP access list (permit ip any any) drops
all tagged IP traffic coming to a SAP
port in unqualified mode.
Workaround:
Use MAC
ACL instead.
9961 ACL It may take several minutes to apply
an access list with more than 200rules on each port.
9963
9939
ACL An ACL that overlaps another ACL
causes wrong filtering.
Workaround:
Do not use
overlapping
ACLs.
9968 ACL Ether-type access list with rule "permit
any" drops traffic.
Workaround:
Do not use
“any”
mask.with
Ether-typeACLs.
10236
10235
3595 ACL, Interface When using both multicast and
broadcast rate limits per port or per
access list, the accumulated rate may
differ from the defined rate.
Workaround:
Specify non-
overlapping
access lists
for different
traffic types,
each ACL
with it’s own
search
condition andrate limit.
CES CES configuration is not displayed by
show running command during hot-
swap.
10072
9583
3238 CES It is not possible to have more than 1
physical port in each circuit.
Workaround:
Configure a
circuit for
each port.

10239 CES CES hot-swap affects the xSTP
topology change.
Workaround:
Use edge
ports
definition on
CES virtual
interface
(1/4/1 or
1/5/1) to
completely
disable this
effect.
10080 CLI The hostname becomes 'T-METRO'
after 'no hostname'.
Workaround:
Use“hostname
7250”
command
instead.
9734 CLI When the switch is in hardware
interface config mode , there is no help
string for the corresponding software
interface.
9735 CLI The word "VRF" is displayed with
some CLI commands, even though wedo not support this feature.
9732 File-System After configuring the boot parameters
with a new application file, the
command "show version" gives the
new version, even though the device
has not been rebooted.
9733 File-System Copy and Move operations in flash are
slow when the device file-system is
almost full.
Workaround:
Remove
unused files
from file-system prior
to this
operation.
9741 File-System Moving a file to flash is prevented
when the free space in the flash is less
than the file's size.
Workaround:
Remove
unused files
from file-
system prior
to this
operation.

Chipsetlimitation. Do
not use this
command.
9956 QoS After applying "QoS scheduling
WRR" option and then setting back
strict priority, the QoS stops working
correctly.
Workaround:
Reload save
the switch
after setting
strict priority.
9957 QoS WRED does not function correctly. Workaround:
Avoid usingWRED
policy.
10226 Time Client The command "show clock detail"
does not display time source.
Workaround:
Use “show
running-
config”
command
instead.
