Caveats
Open Caveats
- FEX logs missing in
show fex detail - BGP maximum prefix policy configuration not supported
- Some
show interfaceoutputs missing span‑destination info - GUI events/faults for interfaces may not display
- Unnecessary SNMP traps generated on I/O module removal/insertion
- Slow CLI command responses
show environmentmay miss sensors or FEXesclear countersfails with spaces in interface name- Certain SPAN and multicast behaviors not working
- Continuous threshold messages generated from fabric
- Interface tagging inconsistent after reload
Resolved Caveats
- Bash vulnerabilities (CVE‑2014‑6271, CVE‑2014‑7169) fixed
Known Behaviors
- L3 switched packets exiting FEX HIF not spanned
- Multicast may not span correctly with VLAN filters
- Only 8 IP addresses per MAC learning supported
- Warm standby on Nexus 9508 may leave standby supervisor unsynced
- Recommissioned APIC joining cluster may cause CLI/GUI timeouts
- Switch decommission may not complete clean reboot without manual intervention
- IGMP Querier election across multiple EPGs or L2 outside networks not supported
- Unknown IP multicast flooded unless “Optimized Flood” configured
