Description |
| Network configuration |
Order of operations: Network configuration should be done bottom-up, teardown should be done top-down |
| ACL |
ACL key size: Rules that match on L2 fields and the complete IPv6 header cannot be specified |
| L3 routing |
ECMP size: The current supported ECMP size is 32 next hops |
| Miscellaneous |
During boot PCIe driver complains about a Non-Fatal error. Device functionality is not impacted |
| Firmware bug |
Generating traffic from host where MTU >= 5k would eventually cause the firmware to get stuck. Possible WA: Manually update firmware to 13.1530.152
