2878841

Description: Firmware rollback fails for the signature retransmit flow if the QPN field is configured in the mkey (as it only allows the given QP to use this Mkey) as the firmware rollback flow relies on an internal QP that uses the mkey.

Workaround: N/A

Keywords: Signature retransmit flow

Description: VPD cannot be accessed after firmware upgrade or reset when the following sequence is performed:

1. Upgrade to a new firmware and perform a cold reboot

2. Downgrade to an old firmware

3. Run fwreset

4. Upgrade to a new firmware

5. Run fwreset

Workaround: Run the upgrade or reset sequence as follow:

1. Upgrade to a new firmware and perform a cold reboot

2. Downgrade to an old firmware

3. Run fwreset

4. Upgrade to a new firmware

5. Perform a cold reboot

Description: As the Connection Tracking (CT) is not moved to SW state after receiving a TCP RST packet, any packet that matches the windows even after the RST is marked as a valid packets.

Workaround: N/A

Keywords: Connection Tracking

2378593

Description: Sub 1sec firmware update (fast reset flow) is not supported when updating from previous releases to the current one. Doing so may cause network disconnection events.

Workaround: Use full reset flow for firmware upgrade/downgrade.

Keywords: Sub 1sec firmware update

Description: The following are the Steering Dump limitations:

• Supported only on ConnectX-5 adapter cards

• Requires passing the version (FW/Stelib/MFT) and device type to stelib

• Re-format is not supported

• Advanced multi-port feature is not supported – LAG/ROCE_AFFILIATION/MPFS_LB/ESW_LB (only traffic vhca <-> wire)

• Packet types supported:

  • Layer 2 Eth

  • Layer 3 IPv4/Ipv6/Grh

  • Layer 4 TCP/UDP/Bth/GreV0/GreV1

  • Tunneling VXLAN/Geneve/GREv0/Mpls
