v1.5.16 Bug Reports and Comments

[bipbaep]

Yes, it has only tagged VLANs, and no untagged. About 20 VLANs in total.

A little gun-shy after 1.5.15 but did one of my test units this morning to 1.5.16.

We upgraded 3 units overnight and will see how it goes for a few weeks before doing the rest of the network.

Watchdog timer fails to bounce the port, it reports the below....BUT what is latitude : X? It should read "watchdog triggered on port 2, action is Bounce Power" that is what the other switches report why does this one note latitude and fail to bounce port?

Jul 20 05:35:56 switch[1760]: Watchdog '5XHD-MTR2TDC' failure checking 10.11.0.232, watchdog triggered on port 2 (5XHD-MTR2TDC), action is Bounce Power switch latitude: x


EDIT: I think having - in the port name might be trigging bad things to happen with the watchdog. Removed it for testing.

It's been a few weeks now of our limited trial upgrading from 1.5.8 to 1.5.16, what has everyone's experience been like?

While we can't fault the software for day to day operations we are seeing that the memory used keeps going up. Is this normal/expected? Do we have a memory leak or is this just linux doing what it does and keeping everything in memory until it has to let go?

As been noted in the1.5.17rcx thread about discovery tab possibly causing a memory leak. I am experiencing a similar, if not the same issue in 1.5.16. I have setup a network monitor to track memory usage via SNMP now to catch the switches before they crash and recover.

I had one that i estimate was up for about 18 days before it dropped and came back. While another was at 43 Days and memory usage was at 86 MB. Same model (WS-12-250-DC). Similar configuration, no SFP, NO LAG or LCAP. Though the one that dropped at about 18 Days is sees a lot more traffic and is closer to the core of our network.

I'll report back in time with an update. This leak seems to be slow compared to the SNMP leak.
