● Some packet duplication lasting for a few seconds was possible after an XRN fabric split.
● TCP connection setups could corrupt the memory causing the Switch to reset. This has been seen
whilst managing the unit via the Web interface, with the http traffic going via a proxy server hosted by
Novell Border Manager.
● Using the Web Interface, the 1hour statistics and the 24hour statistics were the same.
● Excessive and/or inconsistant failover times on XRN Fabric split and merge were found under some
configurations and traffic scenarios.
Points to Note when using the Switch 4050 and 4060

Inserting and Replacing Expansion Modules
CAUTION: The Modules are not hot-insertable or hot-swappable. You must always power down the
Switch and disconnect it from the mains before installing or removing a Module.
● When you insert a Module into the Switch, push the Module in until the Module’s back plate is in full
contact with the Switch’s chassis.
● When you have inserted the Module, secure the Module to the Switch by tightening the three
cap-tive screws fully with a screwdriver.
● If an error is indicated during the Power On Self Test, check that the module has been correctly
inserted.
● Ensure that the blanking plate and its fastenings are stored in a suitable place. If the module is
removed, the blanking plate must be replaced.
● When an expansion module is replaced by another module of a different type, the configuration will
not be completely reset to factory defaults. Specifically, the following module parameters will not be
reset:
❍ Static addresses
❍ Resilient links
❍ IGMP router ports
❍ RMON alarm variables
❍ Spanning Tree port data
● It is recommended that all module configuration should be reviewed after the expansion module has
been replaced.
Auto-MDIX
Auto-MDIX is not available if auto-negotiation is disabled on a port. That port will only operate in MDIX
mode.
