[f-nsp] Netiron 5.6 feedbacks

Fri May 23 12:22:31 EDT 2014

Hello,

Thanks for the feedback. I was planing to run 56b but Brocade advised us
not to do that because of TSB TSB 2014-184-A :

"This is a high severity operational issue.

Affected Products:
NetIron XMR/MLX/CER/CES, MLX-e (5.6.00a and 5.6.00b only)

Corrected in Release:
5.6.00c and above

Bulletin Overview:
Facility FRR LSPs may drop traffic after local-repair, i.e., failover to
backup."

I thought I would sit this one out and wait for 56c which corrects an awful
lot of DEFECTS when reading the release notes.

Anyone else out there ?

Y.
