various conversations about good/bad versions, I went for 5600fb over the<br>
last few days on three core MLXs.<br>
<br>
I had high CPU issues in ip_rx on my second MLX after the upgrade where it<br>
was trunked and in metro-rings with the third which hadn't been upgraded,<br>
however when I upgraded that other MLX it all settled down (was previously<br>
running either 5500c or 5300c).<br>
<br>
I certainly seem to be over the nasty multicast and snmp problems I was<br>
having, so looking good for me on 5600fb so far.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>==> 05600 being the target path, I have been waiting for two years now to find the lucky charm and upgrade my core (running a mix of 54b and 54d).<br><br>Why does it feel with Brocade that upgrading is like playing the russian roulette ?<br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
<br>
For reference, here is a summary of the data points gleaned from the<br>
worthy members of this list over the last few months:<br>
<br>
5.7c to get X2 hardware support, fixes an SNMP issue<br>
<br>
5.6g mid-june ('part of "Target Path"'), fixes DEFECT000541038 concerns<br>
ssh process and causes MP crash and failover on MLX in 5.6f - this issue<br>
also affects 5.7 until 5.7c. There is also a 5.6fb version which has an<br>
ssh process fix.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>==> Initial GA was mid-june but it has been confirmed to me that it's postponed to end of August.<br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
<br>
5.6f reported by one user good for long time, many defects from 5.6e fixed<br>
<br>
5.6d is supposed to fix various issues<br>
<br>
5.6c has been noted to be buggy<br>
<br>
5.6b has been noted to have security issue, and sflow defect fixed in 5.6c<br>
<br>
5.5d has been noted to be stable for 5.5.<br>
<br>
5.5e reported ipv6/is-is problems DEFECT000500944, fixed in some 5.6<br>
