2.4.3 Show Version Verbose Falsely Indicates "Running-config has not been modified"
When DXMOS running configuration changes are made on a DarkStar system, the running configuration differs from the
startup configuration stored in /dxmos/config.dat until a write memory command has been successfully issued. Regardless,
output from the show version verbose command will always indicate that the running configuration has not been modified.
DXMOS will indicate differences between the current running configuration and content in /dxmos/config.dat when either a
reload or a reboot command is issued:
localhost# reload
Running configuration differs from startup configuration.
If you are unsure the consequences of these differences, answer NO to the
following prompt and carefully review the current running configuration.
Are you sure? [yes/NO]
2.4.4 IPv4 Address Persists Following “no ip address” Command
While in
CONF-MGMT-ETH[n]#
mode, if an IPv4 address is added, removed, then followed with an exit command, the
added IPv4 address persists in the running configuration. To correct this condition, return to
CONF-MGMT-ETH[n]#
mode,
issue the
no ip address
command once again, then issue
exit
.
2.4.5 Management Ethernet Address Change with RIP Configured Requires Warm Reload
On DarkStar systems that are configured for RIP routing, changes to management Ethernet addresses on which RIP routes are
advertised requires a DXMOS reboot before IP traffic will be routed.
2.4.6 RIP Configuration Changes Take Effect upon End or Exit Command
If no RIP configuration is present, the effects of various CONF-RIP mode commands are not evident from the output of
CONF-
RIP# do show running-config rip
or
CONF-RIP# show rip
. Changes to the RIP configuration are not applied
to the DarkStar running configuration until you enter
exit
or
end
while in CONF-RIP mode.
2.4.7 Reported Sensor Temperature
The command
show environment
temperature
reports the current working temperature, various threshold
temperature settings, and a fan control threshold temperature for every temperature sensor within a DarkStar system.
Different systems support different sets of sensors and will display different output.
DarkStar systems control the fan speed to maintain temperatures below their threshold value. If one or more temperatures
exceed their fan control threshold for an extended period of time, the fan will run at maximum speed. Sensors which are not
used to control the fan speed will display a target value of "none".
2.4.8 Duplicate Management Interface IP Address
When DXMOS detects the same IP address being assigned to a second enabled management interface, that conflict must be
resolved and DXMOS rebooted to gain access to the affected interface.
