Open Issues in 5.7.0

Issue IDDescriptionAffectsFixed
4072165
When you add a VLAN to a bridge member port, VXLAN traffic might be impacted for few seconds.5.7.0-5.10.1
4004453
The NVUE commands to delete SNMP users, and change authentication passwords and encryption passphrases are not successful.4.3.0-5.9.1, 5.10.0-5.10.15.9.2
3982222
When SPAN is enabled on a bridge member, an ARP or Gratuitous ARP received during a failover event between locally attached redundant devices such as load balancers might fail to update the bridge MAC table to point to the interface with the newly active load balancer.5.4.0-5.9.15.9.2-5.10.1
3955615
Cumulus Linux does not recognize QSFP_CMIS optical modules correctly.5.6.0-5.9.15.9.2-5.10.1
3949367
If you use NVUE to create an SNMP user with a password, then delete and recreate the user with additional encryption passwords (such as DES or AES), SNMP authorization fails for that user.5.3.1-5.9.15.9.2-5.10.1
3917601
If a packet containing an all zero source MAC address (00:00:00:00:00:00) is learned on the ASIC, switchd sends the learn notification to the kernel but the kernel rejects the MAC address as invalid. The ASIC continuously sends the mac-learn notifications, which wastes CPU resources. To work around this issue, configure ACLs to match on the all-zero source MAC address and drop the invalid packets.5.5.0-5.9.15.9.2-5.10.1
3895042
After an NMS station does a full SNMP walk on the switch, you see the following message every 5 minutes:
 snmp : command not allowed ; TTY=unknown ; PWD=/ ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/usr/cumulus/bin/poectl -j -a 

This issue occurs because poectl is called on non-PoE switches. To work around this issue, remove or comment out the poetcl call from the /etc/snmpd.conf file, then restart the snmpd process with the sudo systemctl snmpd restart command

 #snmp ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/cumulus/bin/poectl -j -a 
4.4.0-5.9.15.9.2-5.10.1
3863858
VRR interfaces might show dadfailed on their IPv6 link-local address.5.6.0-5.8.05.9.0-5.10.1
3859422
On rare occasions when certain events occur, such as changes to the topology in the network, when a bond comes online and directly transits to an STP blocking state, the slave ports might still be in a forwarding state. As a result, traffic is forwarded on a blocked port.5.2.0-5.9.15.9.2-5.10.1
3854807
When you enable Optimized Multicast Flooding (OMF) and change VLAN configuration, a few ports might carry multicast traffic even when they are not in the MDB or they are not router ports.5.6.0-5.9.15.9.2-5.10.1
3854800
The switch forwards multicast traffic to the CPU when PIM is enabled globally, regardless of the interface configuration.5.6.0-5.9.15.9.2-5.10.1
3832116
When you configure a SPAN session either with the NVUE nv set system port-mirror session command or in the /etc/cumulus/switchd.d/port-mirror.conf file and the default route is configured to 0.0.0.0/0, the SPAN session might not work as expected. To work around this issue, remove the default route 0.0.0.0/0 and use alternate routes instead.5.7.0-5.8.05.9.0-5.10.1
3824750
With the nvidia.nvue Ansible module, NVUE honors input from the Ansible module only; if you do not provide the full configuration, NVUE generates an exception. To work around this issue, always provide the full configuration.5.6.0-5.8.05.9.0-5.10.1
3782996
If you have installed a large number ACLs, you might see a switchd memory leak over a period of time that stops the switchd process because it is out of memory .5.6.0-5.8.05.9.0-5.10.1
3782543
When you configure the BGP setting bgp max-med on-startup with vtysh, the MED on some peers might not be set to 4294967294 as expected on startup. The max-med might also fail to reset after the startup timer expires.5.6.0-5.8.05.9.0-5.10.1
3773177
When you try to upgrade a switch from Cumulus Linux 5.5 or earlier to 5.8.0 or later with package upgrade, you see errors for expired GPG keys that prevent you from upgrading. To work around this issue, install the new keys with the following commands, then upgrade the switch.
cumulus@switch:~$ wget https://download.nvidia.com/cumulus/apt.cumulusnetworks.com/repo/pool/cumulus/c/cumulus-archive-keyring/cumulus-archive-keyring_4-cl5.6.0u5_all.deb
cumulus@switch:~$ sudo apt install ./cumulus-archive-keyring_4-cl5.6.0u5_all.deb
cumulus@switch:~$ sudo apt update
cumulus@switch:~$ sudo apt upgrade
4.0.0-4.4.5, 5.0.0-5.10.1
3766994
Cumulus Linux 5.6 and 5.7 do not include FRR log rotation, which can result in a very large log file that affects disk usage. To work around this issue, run the following commands as the cumulus user on the Cumulus Linux 5.6 or 5.7 switch. The commands do not impact any other system function.
cumulus@switch:~$ wget https://download.nvidia.com/cumulus/apt.cumulusnetworks.com/repo/pool/cumulus/f/frr-logrotate/frr-logrotate_8.4.3-0+cl5.7.0u1_amd64.deb 
cumulus@switch:~$ dpkg –install frr-logrotate_8.4.3-0+cl5.7.0u1_amd64.deb
5.6.0-5.7.05.8.0-5.10.1
3765395
The nv unset nve vxlan flooding and nv set nve vxlan flooding enable off commands do not disable BUM flooding. To work around this issue, disable BUM flooding with vtysh commands:
leaf01# configure terminal
leaf01(config)# router bgp
leaf01(config-router)# address-family l2vpn evpn
leaf01(config-router-af)# flooding disable
leaf01(config-router-af)# end
leaf01# write memory
leaf01# exit
5.5.0-5.8.05.9.0-5.10.1
3753050
On Spectrum 1 switches, switchd might crash due to an SDK health event or error.5.6.0-5.8.05.9.0-5.10.1
3752266
If you configure DHCP Server HA, the switch failover might cause the DHCP service to report a time mismatch too great error.5.7.0-5.8.05.9.0-5.10.1
3751952
ifupdown2 tries to set the multicast database hash elasticity (bridge-hashel attribute) with a value of 4096. However, this attribute is now deprecated in the Linux kernel and the value is always 16.5.5.1-5.7.05.8.0-5.10.1
3744830
When configured with NVUE, the Radius secret key can be a maximum of 19 characters long.5.7.0-5.8.05.9.0-5.10.1
3739008
The Lenovo MSN4600-VS2RC (PN SSG7B27990 Back-to-Front/C2P Airflow) might run the fan tray fans at a high speed because the software believes the PSU fans are running in the wrong direction.5.5.1-5.8.05.9.0-5.10.1
3738626
If you configure a VNI before an SVI, you can’t add or remove the VRR address from the SVI. To work around this issue, configure the SVI before the VNI.5.6.0-5.7.05.8.0-5.10.1
3730904
When sending untagged frames to the CPU with an MTU higher than the SVD (single VXLAN device) MTU, the kernel might crash.5.4.0-5.8.05.9.0-5.10.1
3718614
When a corrupt or invalid ZTP script exists on the ZTP file server, the ZTP service on the switch might crash and report Too many open files after approximately 1000 download attempts. To recover and restart ZTP, reboot the switch. Always provide a valid ZTP script when using ZTP download.5.7.05.8.0-5.10.1
3713420
When you run the systemctl restart switchd.service command or reboot the switch after you set the host route preference option with the NVUE nv set system forwarding host-route-preference command or manually in the /etc/cumulus/switchd.conf file, switchd crashes and creates core files.5.7.05.8.0-5.10.1
3713419
When monitoring system statistics and network traffic with sFlow, an aggressive link flap might produce a memory leak in the sFlow service hsflowd.5.1.0-5.7.05.8.0-5.10.1
3712007
In RSTP mode when there is a bridge port flap, Cumulus Linux flushes, then re-adds dynamic MAC addresses on the peer link, which might cause short traffic disruption.5.6.0-5.7.05.8.0-5.10.1
3711913
When you set an IPv4 ACL with a log action, logs do not appear under syslog after a match. This issue affects bridged packets when the rule is installed in iptables. To work around this issue, set the ACL with a MAC rule type so that it is installed in ebtables and the packets are logged correctly in syslog.
The following shows an example configuration:
cumulus@switch:~$ nv set acl one rule 1 action log log-prefix NVIDIA
cumulus@switch:~$ nv set acl one rule 1 match ip protocol udp
cumulus@switch:~$ nv set acl one rule 1 match ip source-ip 10.0.14.2
cumulus@switch:~$ nv set acl one rule 1 match ip udp source-port 34
cumulus@switch:~$ nv set acl one rule 1 match mac protocol ipv4
cumulus@switch:~$ nv set acl one type mac
5.7.0-5.9.25.10.0-5.10.1
3710396
In an eBGP multihop configuration with dynamic neighbors, Cumulus Linux does not update the configured TTL but uses the MAXTTL instead. This issue is only observed with dynamic peers.5.6.0-5.7.05.8.0-5.10.1
3702431
Traditional SNMP snippets do not take effect unless you first enable SNMP with the NVUE nv set service snmp-server enable on and nv set service snmp-server listening-address commands. Alternatively, you can use the equivalent REST API methods.5.4.0-5.8.05.9.0-5.10.1
3698680
If you run the ifreload -a command when ACLs exist but nonatomic update mode is set in the switchd.conf file, traffic pauses on unaffected interfaces.5.6.0-5.7.05.8.0-5.10.1
3695491
When you log into a Cumulus Linux switch after a fresh install through the serial console, the management VRF might not be available. (This is not an issue with ssh.) To work around this issue, log out, then log back into the console a few seconds later, after the switch finishes booting.5.7.05.8.0-5.10.1
3686389
When you use NVUE commands to configure an untagged VLAN (PVID) on a bridge to a non-default value, nv show bridge commands still indicate that the untagged VLAN is 1 (the default value). The untagged VLAN you configured is properly set on bridge ports, but displays incorrectly in operational NVUE show commands.5.6.0-5.7.05.8.0-5.10.1
3679478
During switch boot, you see the following messages in the syslog:
2024-03-04T10:34:49.650950+00:00 cumulus sx_sdk: 2262 [TELE] [ERROR  ]: Tele impl module is already initialized2024-03-04T10:34:49.651041+00:00 cumulus sx_sdk: 2262 [TELE] [ERROR  ]: sdk_tele_init failed, for chip type CHIP_TYPE_SWITCH_SPECTRUM3, err = Already initialized

This is due to both the ASIC Monitoring service and the What Just Happened (WJH) service trying to initialize the SDK TELE module. You can ignore the messages because the TELE service has already initialized properly.
5.7.0-5.8.05.9.0-5.10.1
3677533
Due to resource constraints on the Spectrum 1 switch, staticd performance drops and takes longer to read static routes compared to the time BGP takes to complete a graceful restart, and advertise routes and EOR to its helpers. As a result, static routes are advertised after the EOR is sent to graceful restart helpers, which delete the stale static routes and relearn them after receiving the EOR from the restarting node. Temporary traffic loss might occur.5.7.0-5.10.1
3672706
When you enable port security, you can configure a maximum of 450 port security static MAC addresses for an interface.5.7.0-5.8.05.9.0-5.10.1
3671288
Routes and/or next-hops will no-longer be installed in kernel, and traffic related to these routes and/or next-hops will not be forwarded correctly. Flapping of EVPN prefixes from BGP updates and withdraws sometimes causes a race condition where the routes are never re-installed. An example of a trigger that can lead to this problem is a flapping peerlink. A reboot of each switch with missing routes will recover from this issue.5.6.0-5.7.05.8.0-5.10.1
3637444
Applying an inbound control plane ACL on the eth0 management interface does not take effect. To work around this issue, apply the ACL on the mgmt interface; for example, nv set interface mgmt acl inbound control-plane.5.7.0-5.10.1
3636266
When an unresolved next hop is present in a next hop group, especially over an SVI interface, the switch checks if the neighbor MAC address is in the forwarding table. If the neighbor’s MAC address is not there, the switch skips this next hop from backend programming and you see the switchd error ERR NH: l3 nhg v6 l3 nhg contains one or more unresolvable nexthops. There is no impact to switch functionality as unresolved neighbors are not programmed in hardware until they are resolved.5.7.0-5.9.25.10.0-5.10.1
3632843
When the switch receives a type-5 route in BGP and there is a network statement for the same prefix, BGP sometimes removes the request to track next hops from FRR. As next hop reachability changes, BGP no longer reacts to the change. To work around this issue, run the clear bgp * command for all peerings.5.6.0-5.7.05.8.0-5.10.1
3630492
On the NVIDIA SN2201 switch, the ledmgrd -d command output shows the system and PSU LED status as orange when the physical LED is green.5.5.1-5.7.05.8.0-5.10.1
3614286
To avoid unnecessary traffic loss, ifreload (ifupdown2) only flaps a bond to reset its MAC address when the bond MAC address is not present on any of the bond’s interfaces. Previously, ifupdown2 enforced the bond MAC address to be set to the MAC address of the first interface.5.6.0-5.7.05.8.0-5.10.1
3610967
In an EVPN symmetric routing configuration, running the NVUE nv set vrf vlan auto command to derive layer 3 VNIs automatically might result in duplicate VLAN entries in the system. This most often occurs at scale when many VRFs have similar names. To work around this issue, manually specify a unique VLAN for each VRF.5.3.0-5.8.05.9.0-5.10.1
3610591
After configuring the system level pre-login and post-login banner messages, the messages do not return to their default settings when you run the nv unset system command or the nv config apply empty command.5.7.0-5.9.25.10.0-5.10.1
3587393
If you use the NVIDIA SN5600 (Spectrum-4) switch with Ixia test equipment, you might experience delayed link up due to intermittent link flaps.
To work around this issue when using copper cables:
  • Use Ixia IxOS version 9.37 with HF002156, or version 9.39 or later.
  • Use the DAC cable on ports 10 through 50.
  • Use NVIDIA cables with the recommended firmware revision.
  • Configure AN on the Cumulus Linux switch and AN/LT on Ixia.

To work around this issue when using fiber cables:
  • Configure 800g/Force.
  • Use the recommended NVIDIA optical adapters.
5.6.0-5.10.1
3556762
On rare occasions, SPT switchover might not happen cleanly in PIM resulting in some dropped packets. If you use PIM-SM to replicate EVPN BUM traffic, you might see a brief drop of multicast traffic before recovering due to normal PIM-SM traffic timeout.5.5.0-5.10.1
3546857
The nv show bridge vlan command does not show tagged and untagged VLAN information for the bridge
5.6.0-5.8.05.9.0-5.10.1
3541653
During warm boot with layer 3 traffic, you might experience packet loss for approximately 15 milliseconds.5.6.0-5.8.05.9.0-5.10.1
3538321
In rare cases, an STP topology change on PTP over a VLAN can result in the switch losing the slave state and one of the ports might remain in an uncalibrated state. To work around this issue, toggle the port that is in the uncalibrated state up and down so that one of the ports is selected as the slave.5.6.0-5.10.1
3484058
When you power on the NVIDIA SN3420 switch with no connected cables, the QSFP ports LEDs light in amber.5.3.0-5.8.05.9.0-5.10.1
3463827
On rare occasions, SPT switchover might not happen cleanly in PIM, resulting in some dropped packets. If you use PIM-SM to replicate EVPN BUM traffic, you might see a brief drop of multicast traffic before recovering due to normal PIM-SM traffic timeout.5.6.0-5.8.05.9.0-5.10.1
3452681
When you run the NVUE nv show system aaa tacacs authorization commands to show per command authorization for a specific TACACS+ user privilege level, you see an error message similar to Error: GET /nvue_v1/system/aaa/tacacs/authorization/1?rev=operational responded with 404 NOT FOUND.5.5.0-5.10.1
3442569
When trying to access the NVUE API, user accounts authenticated with a newly-configured external service, such as TACACS, RADIUS, or LDAP, receive a 401 forbidden error. To work around this issue, after enabling a new authentication service, make sure to restart both nginx.service and nvued.service to begin authenticating users against the new authentication service.5.5.0-5.10.1
3433577
When you use a single VXLAN device (SVD) with MLAG and static VXLAN tunnels, Cumulus Linux incorrectly associates the MAC addresses it learns from the VXLAN fabric to the bridge PVID. This issue can lead to a feedback loop between the clagd service and switchd, and might result in critical CPU usage with an out of memory condition. Do not use an SVD when enabling MLAG in a static VXLAN environment.5.5.0-5.8.05.9.0-5.10.1
3424967
sudo for TACACS+ users with privilege level 15 does not work when reaching the TACACS+ server through the default VRF. To work around this issue, specify the interface name that the default VRF uses in the vrf= setting of the /etc/tacplus_servers file or run the NVUE nv set system aaa tacacs vrf command. If you don’t run either command, a TACACS+ user with privilege level 15 can run vrf task exec default sudo … to execute the sudo command.5.0.0-5.10.1
3420056
The ADVA 5401 SFP module with hardware revision 5.01 does not come up at layer 1 when you use 10G QSA adaptors. To work around this issue, use 25G QSA adaptors.4.4.0-4.4.5, 5.0.0-5.10.1
3393966
When you configure OSPF network statements using NVUE with the nv set vrf router ospf area network command, subsequent configuration changes with NVUE might bring down all OSPF neighbors. To work around this issue, create an NVUE snippet to configure the network statement, or use the nv set interface router ospf area command to enable OSPF on interfaces instead of using a network statement.5.5.0-5.9.25.10.0-5.10.1
3362113
If you restore an NVUE startup.yaml file or run the nv config patch command after an upgrade that includes breakout ports with QoS configuration, the NVUE configuration fails to apply. Subsequent attempts to run nv config apply fail with a message similar to Invalid config [rev_id: 11] qos config is not supported on the following invalid interface: swp1s0. Supported on swp and bond interface types. To work around this issue, run nv unset on the configured QoS settings, then apply the breakout port configuration before you configure QoS. Alternatively, you can remove the QoS configuration from the yaml file and patch it separately after applying the breakout configuration.5.4.0-5.10.1
3347538
When connecting NVIDIA-to-NVIDIA in PAM4, you must enable auto-negotiation.5.4.0-5.10.1
3341214
If you use the NVUE REST API to configure a local user with a hashed password, the user cannot log in and the /etc/nvue.d/startup.yaml file shows the password as plain text.5.4.0-5.10.1
3334275
When you run the sensors command, the output shows an erroneous fault on some front panel ports.5.2.0-5.7.05.8.0-5.10.1
3329518
When using TACACS+, if the /etc/nsswitch.conf file specifies passwd: files tacplus (files is listed before tacplus), a user that is present in both the local /etc/passwd file and the TACACS+ server cannot log into the switch. NVIDIA recommends that when using TACACS+, you list tacplus before files in /etc/nsswitch.conf. When using NVUE, ensure that tacacs has priority over local.5.4.0-5.10.1
3327477
If you use su to change to a user specified through TACACS+, the user becomes the local tacacs0 thru tacacs15 user instead of the named user to run sudo commands. As a result, the named user password might not match the local tacacs0 thru tacacs15 user password.3.7.0-3.7.16, 4.0.0-4.4.5, 5.0.0-5.10.1
3326659
If you have a large number of MAC addresses, they do not age out at the MAC ageing timeout value configured on the switch. It might take up to 30 seconds more for the MAC addresses to age out and be deleted from the hardware. To work around this issue, wait for the ageing timeout value plus 30 seconds.5.4.0-5.10.1
3241567
When you apply switch configuration for the first time on a freshly booted switch and you run the nv config apply command after setting the hostname with nv set system hostname, you might see the error message Failed to start Hostname Service. To work around this issue, run the nv config apply command a second time.5.3.0-5.10.1
3226506
The l1-show eth0 command does not show port information and is not supported in this release.5.3.0-5.10.1
3172504
When you connect the NVIDIA SN4600C switch to a Spectrum 1 or Spectrum-3 switch with a 40GbE passive copper cable (Part Number: MC2210126-005) on edge ports 1-4 and 61-64, there is an Effective BER of 1E-12 in PHY.5.2.0-5.10.1
3147782
You cannot use NVUE to configure an SNMP view to include a subtree beginning with a period. For example:
cumulus@switch:~$ nv set service snmp-server viewname cumulusOnly included .1.3.6.1.4.1.40310Error: GET /nvue_v1/service/snmp-server/viewname/cumulusOnly/included?pointers=%5B%22%2Fparameters%22%2C+%22%2Fpatch%2FrequestBody%2Fcontent%2Fapplication~1json%2Fschema%22%2C+%22%2Fpatch%2Fparameters%22%2C+%22%2Fpatch%2Fresponses%2F200%2Flinks%22%5D responded with 404 NOT FOUND
To work around this issue, reference the OID without the preceding period ( . ) in the command.
5.3.0-5.10.1
3145869
On a Spectrum-3 switch, the PTP offset in 10GbE changes between +-27. The average offset is around 7.5.2.0-5.10.1
3141826
A slow memory leak (~5KB over 24 hour period at a 60 second polling interval) might occur in SNMP when you walk the following system MIB objects (1.3.6.1.2.1)
1.3.6.1.2.1.47 –> Entity MIB
1.3.6.1.2.1.99 –> Entity Sensor MIB
1.3.6.1.2.1.23 –> rip2
1.3.6.1.2.1.2 –> interface/interfaces
1.3.6.1.2.1.31 –> ifMIB
1.3.6.1.2.1.4 –> IP
1.3.6.1.2.1.25 –> hostResource
5.0.1-5.8.05.9.0-5.10.1
3135952
PAM4 split cables (such as 2x100G, 4x100G, and 4x50G) do not work with a forced speed setting (when auto-negotiation is off) as the default speed enabled is for NRZ mode (such as 100G_4X). To work around this issue, set the appropriate lanes for forced speed (with auto-negotation off) with the ethtool -s swpX speed <port_speed> autoneg off lanes <no_of_lanes> command. For example:
cumulus@switch:~$ sudo ethtool -s swp1 speed 100000 autoneg off lanes 2
5.2.0-5.10.1
3122301
On the NVIDIA SN4700 switch, inserting and removing the PSU might cause loss of frames.5.2.0-5.10.1
3115242
When you configure two VNIs in the same VLAN, ifupdown2 shows a vlan added to two or more VXLANS warning, which is only issued after the VNI is already added to the bridge. This leaves the new VNI in the PVID even if there is already an existing VNI configured in that PVID.5.1.0-5.10.1
3103821
On the NVIDIA SN4700 switch, inserting and removing the PSU might cause loss of frames.5.2.0-5.10.1
3084476
After you disable traffic shaping in the /etc/cumulus/datapath/qos/qos_features.conf file, the default QOS traffic shaping configuration does not restore. To work around this issue, restart switchd.4.4.3, 5.0.0-5.10.14.4.4-4.4.5
3084027
Under a high load, you might see ingress drop counters increase. The drops are classified as HwIfInDiscards in ethtool and shown as ingress_general in hardware.4.3.0-4.4.5, 5.0.0-5.10.1
3071652
On rare occasions, after you reboot or restart switchd on a Spectrum 1 switch, any 25G connections with Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cables that connect from the switch to a non-NVIDIA device might flap continuously. To work around this issue, bring the affected link administratively down for a few seconds on the non-NVIDIA device, then bring the link back up.4.4.4-4.4.5, 5.1.0-5.10.1
3061656

When the MAC address of a neighbor changes, the zebra IP routing manager might crash.5.2.1-5.6.0
3695430
When you configure extended nexthop encoding for a peer group, the peers in the group do not inherit the configuration. To work around this issue, configure extended nexthop encoding on each individual peer in the group. NVIDIA recommends that you upgrade to Cumulus Linux 5.6 or later to avoid this issue.5.4.0-5.6.0

SN2410 switches manufactured or sold by OEMs (not Mellanox) might contain fans that do not support system fan direction detection. As a result, the following messages occur in the log:
/usr/sbin/smond : : Path /run/hw-management/thermal/fan1_dir does not exist/usr/sbin/smond : : Path /run/hw-management/thermal/fan2_dir does not exist
smond has been modified to determine dynamically (at run-time) if the fan has the capability. To drop the messages before they get to the log, create a file, such as /etc/rsyslog.d/18-drop_fan_dir_msgs.conf with the following contents, then restart rsyslogd with the systemctl restart rsyslog command
# The lines below cause the offending message to be dropped from all logs:msg, ereregex, “.*Path /run/hw-management/thermal/fan[1-8]_dir does not exist” stop

If a core file is generated with a space in the name, Cumulus Linux generates cl-support files until the file is removed. To work around this issue, rename the core file without the space character. The next cl-support file generated will be moved into the cl-support archive and removed from the filesystem.5.6.0
3663182
Changing non-default BGP timers with NCLU or vtysh commands sets the hold time and keep alive interval to 0 seconds. To work around this issue, restart the FRR service with the sudo systemctl restart frr.service command.5.3.1-5.6.0
3662354
When you enable the FRR SNMP agent (agentx) and configure routing adjacencies with short timers (dead, keepalive, and hold time), the routing adjacencies might go down in certain scenarios; for example when you have frequent or concurrent client SNMP requests, you use custom SNMP MIB extensions, you poll OIDs with large responses, or during high CPU load. To work around this issue, you can increase the routing adjacency timers to accommodate SNMP processing.5.6.0

After you upgrade to Cumulus Linux 5.6.0 with package upgrade, configuration changes you make with NVUE commands do not apply and you see the error message Invalid config [rev_id: 4] Default profile parameters can not be modified. Modification allowed on user created profiles. To workaround this issue:1. Remove the PTP configuration using the nv unset service ptp 1 enable syntax
2. Save the configuration nv config apply. 3. Re-add the PTP config. Note: this procedure results in a switchd restart which will have an impact on the data plane.

Cumulus Linux assigns an IPv4 and IPv6 loopback address to a VRF interface by default. As a result, ping and route lookups for unique remote IP addresses on different VTEPs might not work if there is no source IP on the switch that belongs to the same subnet. To work around this issue, remove the loopback address on the VRF with the nv unset vrf loopback ip address command. Only remove the loopback address if you are not running NTP as NTP requires a loopback address to work. Alternatively, you can change the ping command to use a source address (such as an SVI address) with the ip vrf exec ping <REMOTE_IP> -I <SVI_SRC_IP> command.5.5.0-5.6.0
3609128
When you use vi with root or sudo, visual mode is enabled by default due to a missing vimrc configuration file. This makes it difficult to copy and paste into vi. In CL5.7.0, the default configuration now includes set mouse-=a
In addition, the CL5.7.0 default configuration for vi now disables modelines, which can be a security risk.

NVUE does not allow you to use the reserved name lo in an interface name.5.5.1-5.6.0
3590394
Under rare conditions, running NVUE commands that capture output larger than 4k bytes from Linux tools or utilities might result in failures with 500 INTERNAL SERVER ERROR or Unrecoverable internal error messages. This issue occurs when there are non-ascii characters in large outputs that Cumulus Linux can’t decode. This failure is observed only in Cumulus Linux 5.6 and earlier.5.6.0
3585467
NVUE and ip link show traditional bridge VLAN subinterface counts incorrectly. The ingress (Rx) count increments correctly but the egress (Tx) count does not increment. This issues occurs because the hardware does not support transmit counters for a VLAN subinterface; therefore, no statistics from the hardware are updated. Statistics for software forwarded packets show correctly.5.0.0-5.6.0

On the NVIDIA SN2410 switch with an Innodisk SSD, you might see the following message in syslog:
smartd[501]: Device: /dev/sda [SAT], CHECK POWER STATUS spins up disk (0x00 -> 0xff)
This is a cosmetic issue and does not affect how the switch operates. To prevent this message from occurring, run the hdparm -S 24 /dev/sda command to change the HD timeout.

When running DHCP relay for IPv6 and a downstream interface flaps more than once, relaying might stop working. To recover, restart the dhcrelay6 service, making sure the specified downstream interfaces are up and running.5.5.0-5.6.0
3554231
CVE-2023-38408: The PKCS#11 feature in ssh-agent in OpenSSH before 9.3p2 has an insufficiently trustworthy search path, leading to remote code execution if an agent is forwarded to an attacker-controlled system. (Code in /usr/lib is not necessarily safe for loading into ssh-agent.) NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2016-10009
Mitigation: Do not use ssh-agent forwarding (the man page for ssh_config says that “agent forwarding should be enabled with caution”), or start the ssh-agent program with the -P option to allow only specific PKCS#11 libraries (or none with -P ‘')
For Cumulus Linux 4.3.2, the /usr/bin/ssh-agent program has all permissions turned off (chmod 0) to prevent its execution if a vulnerable version is detected.
4.0.0-4.3.1, 5.0.0-5.6.0
3534718
The BGP command to suppress longer prefixes inside the aggregate address before sending updates (nv set vrf router bgp address-family aggregate-route
summary-only or vtysh router bgp aggregate-address
summary-only) does not suppress more specific routes from being exported into the EVPN routing table and advertised as EVPN type-5 routes. To work around this issue, announce EVPN type-5 routes by adding an additional outbound policy or export policy to filter out the more specific routes.

When you connect the SN5600 switch to third party test equipment (such as IXIA) using copper cables, 100G, 200G, 400G, and 800G links do not come up. To work around this issue, use fiber optic cables when testing an SN5600 switch with IXIA for 100G, 200G, 400G, and 800G link speeds.5.6.0
3452732
The nv set router policy ext-community-list rule ext-community rt command does not generate the standard based BGP community list. As a result, routes do not match the expected community list. To work around this issue, create a snippet to add the policy configuration to the /etc/frr/frr.conf file, then patch the configuration. For example:
cumulus@switch:~$ sudo nano frr_policy.yaml- set:
system:
config:
snippet:
frr.conf: |
bgp extcommunity-list standard EXTCOMMUNITY1 seq 10 permit rt 65102:10

5.5.0-5.6.0
3445841
FRR does not apply Type-0 ESI configuration for EVPN multihoming bonds consistently after an FRR service reload. This issue occurs because the system MAC address value (es-sys-mac) is only compatible with a 3-byte Ethernet segment ID (es-id) for Type-3 ESIs, but still renders even when the Ethernet segment ID is 10 bytes for Type-0 ESIs. To work around this issue, configure EVPN multihoming bonds with a Type-3 ESI (es-sys-mac plus a 3-byte es-id).5.0.0-5.6.0
3428677
In certain cases, Cumulus Linux does not process next hop updates because the zebra IP routing manager thinks the state of the next hops is unchanged. As a result, route installation fails and remains in a rejected state.5.3.0-5.6.0
3419928
The NVUE PIM timer command option names keep-alive and rp-keep-alive are inconsistent and need to change to keepalive and rp-keepalive.5.4.0-5.6.0

You cannot remove PBR map configuration with source and destination rules. To work around this issue, delete the entire PBR map clause.5.5.0-5.6.0
3347677
In an MLAG configuration, when a link failure occurs on the peerlink or the peerlink shuts down, the switch in the secondary role attracts traffic to its local VTEP as it advertises the local VTEP IP address momentarily just before the VXLAN device is protodown. This traffic is dropped for a brief moment (between 5 and 10 seconds) because the MLAG bonds on the secondary switch are already protodown.5.1.0-5.6.0
3266197
When you disable BGP globally with the nv set router bgp enable off command, applying the configuration with NVUE might fail due to an FRR reload failure.5.2.0-5.6.0
