Open Issues in 5.9.1
| Issue ID | Description | Affects | Fixed |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3881789 | If you configure the anycast IP address with the nv set nve vxlan mlag shared-address command after you configure MLAG, the anycast IP address configuration is not applied and the VXLAN interface is in a protodown state. To work around this issue, run sudo ifreload -a.To avoid this issue, either apply the anycast configuration before you apply the MLAG configuration or configure the anycast IP address and MLAG together with a single nv config apply command. | 5.9.0-5.9.1 | |
| 3878394 | When ZTP runs a script that contains wget, ZTP fails and you see a message similar to the following:ZTP: ZTP DHCP: Unexpected error: ‘ascii’ codec can’t decode byte 0xe2 in position 181: ordinal not in range(128)ZTP: Script returned failure To work around this issue, use the -q option with wget. | 5.9.0-5.9.1 | |
| 3875696 | The default TX State for 1G Base-X optical modules that are unconfigured or admin down in Cumulus Linux 5.7.0 and later is OFF. However, on the first boot after upgrade from an earlier release, a module TX power might be ON or OFF depending on the TX State it was before the upgrade. The TX_Disable line is not properly set on first boot. To work around this issue, reboot the switch again, or ifup or ifdown the 1G Base-X interface to disable TX Power. | 5.7.0-5.9.1 | |
| 3875243 | When you run the nv config replace command and try to apply the configuration, you receive the following log message:Invalid config [rev_id: 2]This occurs when you try to replace the default NVUE configuration for the cumulus user account credentials. To work around this behavior, merge your configuration into the current applied configuration with the nv config patch command instead. | 5.9.0-5.9.1 | |
| 3873219 | When you remove a port from a bond and add it to the bridge in a single set of NVUE commands, then apply the configuration, the port forwarding state is blocked on all the bridge VLANs. To work around this issue, apply the configuration in two steps. First remove the port from the bond and apply the configuration, then add the port to the bridge and apply the configuration. | 5.9.0-5.9.1 | |
| 3854800 | The switch forwards multicast traffic to the CPU when PIM is enabled globally, regardless of the interface configuration. | 5.6.0-5.9.1 | |
| 3851499 | On the Spectrum A1 switch, when you enable the ip-acl-heavy TCAM profile, VXLAN tunnel initialization might fail. | 5.8.0-5.9.1 | |
| 3844670 | When you configure TACACS with NVUE or merge in an NVUE configuration file including TACACS configuration with the nv config patch command, you see an unrecoverable error when running additional NVUE commands. To work around this issue, restart the NVUE service with the systemctl restart nvued.service command. | 5.9.0-5.9.1 | |
| 3775686 | Suppress route advertisement for BGP under scale (more than 30000 routes) advertises partial updates to downstream neighbors. Because FRR reads kernel route updates slowly, the netlink socket receive buffer gets full and further update notifications are dropped. | 5.8.0-5.9.1 | |
| 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 | 4.0.0-4.4.5, 5.0.0-5.9.1 | |
| 3771168 | When you perform an ISSU upgrade on a Spectrum 1 switch, the switchd service might crash. | 5.8.0-5.9.1 | |
| 3739159 | Disabling adaptive routing globally or on interfaces and performing ISSU, has a significant traffic outage. The issue recovers after ISSU completes. | 5.7.0-5.9.1 | |
| 3685007 | Cumulus Linux does not support 802.1X dynamic VLANs on PEAP with MS Windows-based supplicants. | 5.7.0-5.9.1 | |
| 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. | 5.7.0-5.9.1 | |
| 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 . | 5.7.0-5.9.1 | |
| 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. | 5.7.0-5.9.1 | |
| 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:
To work around this issue when using fiber cables:
| 5.6.0-5.9.1 | |
| 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. | 5.5.0-5.9.1 | |
| 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. | 5.6.0-5.9.1 | |
| 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. | 5.5.0-5.9.1 | |
| 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. | 5.0.0-5.9.1 | |
| 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, 5.0.0-5.9.1 | |
| 3393966 | Configuring the network statement with the NVUE nv set vrf command might bring down all the OSPF neighbors. To work around this issue, create an NVUE snippet to configure the network statement. | 5.5.0-5.9.1 | |
| 3368217 None | When daylight saving time changes, the MLAG initDelay timer resets and all MLAG bonds go down. | 4.4.4-4.4.5, 5.2.1-5.9.1 | |
| 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. | 5.4.0-5.9.1 | |
| 3350027 | If you uninstall dynamic NAT rules and switchd restarts before all the dynamic NAT flows age out and are deleted, you might see dynamic flow deletion errors in switchd.log. These errors do not affect new dynamic NAT flows from new NAT rules. | 5.4.0-5.9.1 | |
| 3347538 | When connecting NVIDIA-to-NVIDIA in PAM4, you must enable auto-negotiation. | 5.4.0-5.9.1 | |
| 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. | 5.4.0-5.9.1 | |
| 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. | 5.4.0-5.9.1 | |
| 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, 5.0.0-5.9.1 | |
| 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. | 5.4.0-5.9.1 | |
| 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. | 5.3.0-5.9.1 | |
| 3226506 | The l1-show eth0 command does not show port information and is not supported in this release. | 5.3.0-5.9.1 | |
| 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. | 5.2.0-5.9.1 | |
| 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 FOUNDTo work around this issue, reference the OID without the preceding period ( . ) in the command. | 5.3.0-5.9.1 | |
| 3145869 | On a Spectrum-3 switch, the PTP offset in 10GbE changes between +-27. The average offset is around 7. | 5.2.0-5.9.1 | |
| 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 | 5.2.0-5.9.1 | |
| 3122301 | On the NVIDIA SN4700 switch, inserting and removing the PSU might cause loss of frames. | 5.2.0-5.9.1 | |
| 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. | 5.1.0-5.9.1 | |
| 3103821 | On the NVIDIA SN4700 switch, inserting and removing the PSU might cause loss of frames. | 5.2.0-5.9.1 | |
| 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, 5.0.0-5.9.1 | 4.4.4-4.4.5 |
| 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, 5.0.0-5.9.1 | |
| 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, 5.1.0-5.9.1 | |
| 3061656 | When the CPU load is high during a warm boot, bonds with a slow LACP rate fail to forward layer 2 traffic for up to 60 seconds (depending on the duration of the CPU load) and static bonds fail to forward layer 2 traffic for up to 5 seconds. | 5.1.0-5.9.1 | |
| 3053094 | When the CPU load is high during a warm boot, bonds with a slow LACP rate fail to forward layer 2 traffic for up to 60 seconds (depending on the duration of the CPU load) and static bonds fail to forward layer 2 traffic for up to 5 seconds. | 5.1.0-5.9.1 | |
| 2972540 | With RADIUS enabled for user shell authentication, there might be a delay in local user authentication for non cumulus user accounts. | 5.0.0-5.9.1 | |
| 2964279 | When a VNI flaps, an incorrect list of layer 2 VNIs are associated with a layer 3 VNI. The NCLU net show evpn vni detail command output shows duplicate layer 2 VNIs under a layer 3 VNI. | 3.7.15, 4.4.2-4.4.5, 5.0.0-5.9.1 | 3.7.16 |
| 2951110 | The net show time ntp servers command does not show any output with the management VRF. | 3.7.15-3.7.16, 4.1.1-4.4.5, 5.0.0-5.9.1 | |
| 2904450 | When you run the ethtool -m or the l1-show command, the 400G interface optical values do not show. | 4.4.0-4.4.5, 5.0.0-5.9.1 | |
| 2891255 | CVE-2021-39925: Buffer overflow in the Bluetooth SDP dissector in Wireshark 3.4.0 to 3.4.9 and 3.2.0 to 3.2.17 allows denial of service via packet injection or crafted capture file. Vulnerable: <= 2.6.20-0+deb10u1 Fixed: 2.6.20-0+deb10u2 | 4.0.0-4.4.1, 5.0.0-5.9.1 | 4.4.2-4.4.5 |
| 2890681 | CVE-2021-42771: relative path traversal in Babel, a set of tools for internationalising Python applications, could result in the execution of arbitrary code Vulnerable: 2.6.0+dfsg.1-1Fixed: 2.6.0+dfsg.1-1+deb10u1 | 4.0.0-4.4.1, 5.0.0-5.9.1 | 4.4.2-4.4.5 |
| 2867042 | When connecting the NVIDIA SN4600 switch to another NVIDIA Spectrum switch, you must use auto-negotiation mode (not force mode); otherwise the switch might use the wrong Tx configuration. | 5.0.0-5.9.1 | |
| 2847755 | When you use NCLU to remove the configuration for a peer that is a member of a group but also has other peer-specific configuration, you must remove the peer-specific configuration before you delete the peer in a separate NCLU commit. | 5.0.0-5.9.1 | |
| 2823307 | Cumuls Linux does not support a bond with more than 64 ports. Any configuration with more than 64 ports in a bond changes all ports to down when you apply the configuration. | 5.0.0-5.9.1 | |
| 2736108 | When you change the VRRP advertisement interval on the master, the master advertisement interval field in the show vrrp command output does not show the updated value. | 4.4.0-4.4.5, 5.0.0-5.9.1 | |
| 2705056 | When configured with NVUE, SVIs do not inherit the pinned MAC address of the bridge. | 4.3.0, 5.0.0-5.9.1 | 4.3.1-4.4.5 |
| 2684925 | The NVUE nv show vrf default router bgp peer command produces a 404 not found error. | 4.4.0-4.4.5, 5.0.0-5.9.1 | |
| 2671652 | In VXLAN routing environments, you might experience sub-optimal route convergence delays (longer than five seconds) when a prefix transitions to a new ECMP next-hop group. This condition might occur when a VTEP loses ECMP routes through all uplink peerings, then installs the routes through a different path, such as an MLAG peerlink. | 4.4.0-4.4.5, 5.5.0-5.9.1 | |
| 2543915 CM-26301 | When you enable a service in the management VRF, systemctl issues a warning similar to the following:Warning: The unit file, source configuration file or drop-ins of ntp@mgmt.service changed on disk. Run ‘systemctl daemon-reload’ to reload unitYou can safely ignore this warning. | 4.0.0-4.4.5, 5.0.0-5.9.1 |

| 3875696 | The default TX State for 1G Base-X optical modules that are unconfigured or admin down in Cumulus Linux 5.7.0 and later is OFF. However, on the first boot after upgrade from an earlier release, a module TX power might be ON or OFF depending on the TX State it was before the upgrade. The TX_Disable line is not properly set on first boot. To work around this issue, reboot the switch again, or ifup or ifdown the 1G Base-X interface to disable TX Power. | 5.7.0-5.9.1 | |
| 3875243 | When you run the nv config replace command and try to apply the configuration, you receive the following log message:Invalid config [rev_id: 2]This occurs when you try to replace the default NVUE configuration for the cumulus user account credentials. To work around this behavior, merge your configuration into the current applied configuration with the nv config patch command instead. | 5.9.0-5.9.1 | |

| 3350027 | If you uninstall dynamic NAT rules and switchd restarts before all the dynamic NAT flows age out and are deleted, you might see dynamic flow deletion errors in switchd.log. These errors do not affect new dynamic NAT flows from new NAT rules. | 5.4.0-5.9.1 | |
| 3347538 | When connecting NVIDIA-to-NVIDIA in PAM4, you must enable auto-negotiation. | 5.4.0-5.9.1 | |
| 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. | 5.4.0-5.9.1 | |
| 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. | 5.4.0-5.9.1 | |
| 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, 5.0.0-5.9.1 | |
| 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. | 5.4.0-5.9.1 | |
| 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. | 5.3.0-5.9.1 | |
| 3226506 | The l1-show eth0 command does not show port information and is not supported in this release. | 5.3.0-5.9.1 | |
| 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. | 5.2.0-5.9.1 | |
| 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 FOUNDTo work around this issue, reference the OID without the preceding period ( . ) in the command. | 5.3.0-5.9.1 | |
| 3145869 | On a Spectrum-3 switch, the PTP offset in 10GbE changes between +-27. The average offset is around 7. | 5.2.0-5.9.1 | |
| 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 | 5.2.0-5.9.1 | |
| 3122301 | On the NVIDIA SN4700 switch, inserting and removing the PSU might cause loss of frames. | 5.2.0-5.9.1 | |
| 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. | 5.1.0-5.9.1 | |
| 3103821 | On the NVIDIA SN4700 switch, inserting and removing the PSU might cause loss of frames. | 5.2.0-5.9.1 | |
| 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, 5.0.0-5.9.1 | 4.4.4-4.4.5 |
| 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, 5.0.0-5.9.1 | |
| 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, 5.1.0-5.9.1 | |
| 3061656 | When the CPU load is high during a warm boot, bonds with a slow LACP rate fail to forward layer 2 traffic for up to 60 seconds (depending on the duration of the CPU load) and static bonds fail to forward layer 2 traffic for up to 5 seconds. | 5.1.0-5.9.1 | |
| 3053094 | When the CPU load is high during a warm boot, bonds with a slow LACP rate fail to forward layer 2 traffic for up to 60 seconds (depending on the duration of the CPU load) and static bonds fail to forward layer 2 traffic for up to 5 seconds. | 5.1.0-5.9.1 | |
| 2972540 | With RADIUS enabled for user shell authentication, there might be a delay in local user authentication for non cumulus user accounts. | 5.0.0-5.9.1 | |
| 2964279 | When a VNI flaps, an incorrect list of layer 2 VNIs are associated with a layer 3 VNI. The NCLU net show evpn vni detail command output shows duplicate layer 2 VNIs under a layer 3 VNI. | 3.7.15, 4.4.2-4.4.5, 5.0.0-5.9.1 | 3.7.16 |
| 2951110 | The net show time ntp servers command does not show any output with the management VRF. | 3.7.15-3.7.16, 4.1.1-4.4.5, 5.0.0-5.9.1 | |
| 2904450 | When you run the ethtool -m or the l1-show command, the 400G interface optical values do not show. | 4.4.0-4.4.5, 5.0.0-5.9.1 | |

| 2867042 | When connecting the NVIDIA SN4600 switch to another NVIDIA Spectrum switch, you must use auto-negotiation mode (not force mode); otherwise the switch might use the wrong Tx configuration. | 5.0.0-5.9.1 | |
| 2847755 | When you use NCLU to remove the configuration for a peer that is a member of a group but also has other peer-specific configuration, you must remove the peer-specific configuration before you delete the peer in a separate NCLU commit. | 5.0.0-5.9.1 | |
| 2823307 | Cumuls Linux does not support a bond with more than 64 ports. Any configuration with more than 64 ports in a bond changes all ports to down when you apply the configuration. | 5.0.0-5.9.1 | |
| 2736108 | When you change the VRRP advertisement interval on the master, the master advertisement interval field in the show vrrp command output does not show the updated value. | 4.4.0-4.4.5, 5.0.0-5.9.1 | |
| 2705056 | When configured with NVUE, SVIs do not inherit the pinned MAC address of the bridge. | 4.3.0, 5.0.0-5.9.1 | 4.3.1-4.4.5 |
| 2684925 | The NVUE nv show vrf default router bgp peer command produces a 404 not found error. | 4.4.0-4.4.5, 5.0.0-5.9.1 | |
| 2671652 | In VXLAN routing environments, you might experience sub-optimal route convergence delays (longer than five seconds) when a prefix transitions to a new ECMP next-hop group. This condition might occur when a VTEP loses ECMP routes through all uplink peerings, then installs the routes through a different path, such as an MLAG peerlink. | 4.4.0-4.4.5, 5.5.0-5.9.1 | |
| 2543915 CM-26301 | When you enable a service in the management VRF, systemctl issues a warning similar to the following:Warning: The unit file, source configuration file or drop-ins of ntp@mgmt.service changed on disk.

Fixed Issues in 5.9.0
| Issue ID | Description | Affects |
|---|---|---|
| 3875419 | The cleanup scrip inadvertently removes the active LTTng session directory used by lttng-sessiond for trace dumping. This issue occurs under specific conditions when more than five LTTng trace folders are present, leading to intermittent failures in trace logging. To work around this issue, manually move the timestamped lttng logs to a different directory. | 5.8.0 |
| 3863858 | VRR interfaces might show dadfailed on their IPv6 link-local address. | 5.6.0-5.8.0 |
| 3863063 | When simultaneously changing the maxage and forward-delay bridge timers in RSTP for VLAN-aware bridges, the commands might not be accepted if the 2xfdelay-1 is less than the previously configured maxage timer because ifupdown2 configures the forward delay first.To work around this issue, run the ifreload -a command again to process the forward-delay command after the new maxage configuration has been accepted.You have to repeat the ifreload -a command after a reboot to set the forward delay correctly in the bridge. | 5.8.0 |
| 3837121 | With a large route map and community list configuration, FRR reload takes much longer than normal (approximately 13 seconds) and in some cases, CPU utilization is high. | 5.8.0 |
| 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. | 5.7.0-5.8.0 |
| 3828243 | After you change the remote AS for a peer group, the switch no longer has any peers associated with the peer group. To work around this issue, reconfigure all the associated peers after you change the remote AS for the peer group. | 5.8.0 |
| 3813710 | The What Just Happened service (wjhd) fails to start if an interface alias (description) contains the text Ethernet and add syslog messages similar to the following:router1: wjhd: exception: stoirouter1: wjhd: Fail to deinit SDK telemetry, error: [3]: [Invalid Handle] | 5.8.0 |
| 3812857 | When enabling telemetry on an interface, NVUE doesn’t validate if some of the configuration is correct. For example if you configure swp1s0, but enter swp1 by mistake, NVUE accepts and applies this configuration. If the ASIC monitor service finds that this port is not available, it skips the configuration associated with this port. NVUE applies configuration for other valid ports as expected. | 5.8.0 |
| 3800536 | Some third-party modules cause false-alarm interrupts during SERDES tuning, which overloads the ASIC and causes an ASIC response delay. | 5.8.0 |
| 3798580 | With ROCE enabled, LLDP DCBX TLVs might carry an incorrect PFC map when bond interfaces are present on the switch. | 5.8.0 |
| 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 . | 5.6.0-5.8.0 |
| 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. | 5.6.0-5.8.0 |
| 3775648 | Enabling or disabling link utilization causes the switchd service to restart, which causes all network ports to reset, interrupts network services, and resets the switch hardware configuration. | 5.8.0 |
| 3773991 | When you use warm mode to reboot a switch with a large number of EVPN routes and BGP graceful restart is enabled, stale routes might be relearned from BGP neighbors after the switch boots. This might cause traffic loss until BGP is fully converged after the reboot. | 5.8.0 |
| 3770993 | When a supplicant is authorized successfully on an interface in 802.1x multi-host mode, ping traffic coming into the 802.1x interface towards a local SVI might not be successful. | 5.8.0 |
| 3770865 | On the NVIDIA SN5600 switch, performing a fresh image install or a power cycle can cause the PCIE link speed to get downgraded from Gen3(8GTs) to Gen1(2.5GTs). To recover, reboot the switch. | 5.8.0 |
| 3767037 | When you try to upgrade a switch from Cumulus Linux 5.5 or earlier to 5.8.0 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:~$ sudo apt-get updatecumulus@switch:~$ sudo apt-get install –allow-unauthenticated cumulus-archive-keyring | 5.8.0 |
| 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 | 5.5.0-5.8.0 |
| 3759515 | After upgrading to Cumulus Linux 5.8, MLAG reports bonds as bpdu guard mismatch. To work around this issue, restart the MLAG service with the systemctl restart clagd on the device that reports the conflict. | 5.8.0 |
| 3752266 | If you configure DHCP Server HA, the switch failover might cause the DHCP service to report a time mismatch too great error. | 5.7.0-5.8.0 |
| 3744830 | When configured with NVUE, the Radius secret key can be a maximum of 19 characters long. | 5.7.0-5.8.0 |
| 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. | 5.5.1-5.8.0 |
| 3730904 | When sending untagged frames to the CPU with an MTU higher than the SVD (single VXLAN device) MTU, the kernel might crash. | 5.4.0-5.8.0 |
| 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. | 5.4.0-5.8.0 |
| 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. | 5.7.0-5.8.0 |
| 3672706 | When you enable port security, you can configure a maximum of 450 port security static MAC addresses for an interface. | 5.7.0-5.8.0 |
| 3610967 | In an EVPN symmetric routing configuration, running the NVUE nv set vrf 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. | 5.3.0-5.8.0 |
| 3546857 | The nv show bridge vlan command does not show tagged and untagged VLAN information for the bridge | 5.6.0-5.8.0 |
| 3541653 | During warm boot with layer 3 traffic, you might experience packet loss for approximately 15 milliseconds. | 5.6.0-5.8.0 |
| 3484058 | When you power on the NVIDIA SN3420 switch with no connected cables, the QSFP ports LEDs light in amber. | 5.3.0-5.8.0 |
| 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. | 5.6.0-5.8.0 |
| 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. | 5.5.0-5.8.0 |
| 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 | 5.0.1-5.8.0 |
