  • MS390s will report a stack topology change erroneously (present since MS 15)

KNOWN ISSUES

General

  • With some unique configurations, the next hop VLAN on L3 stacks may incorrectly become out of sync after making L3 changes (present since MS 14.33)
  • Enabling NAT detection may cause issues with TCP streams resulting in pages failing to load entirely or taking longer than usual to load (present since MS 14)
  • The next-hop port may be incorrect on L3 stacks and believed to be the result of client flapping between ports (present since MS 14.32)
  • Connecting a stacking cable to a stack that is online may result in a stack member going offline (present since MS 12)
  • Switch stacks will learn MAC addresses from ports in the STP blocking state which can trigger a constant flood of MAC flaps in the event log
  • Broadcast types of traffic can leak into the Guest VLAN if a port that fails authentication has a voice VLAN configured, and dashboard has a Guest VLAN defined (present since MS 11)
  • Cross-stack LACP bundles experiencing a switch reboot will cause the remaining online port to experience an outage for up to 30 seconds. The same is seen again when the switch comes back online (present since MS 10)
  • Loops can be seen when rebooting a stack member containing a cross-stack lag port (always present)
  • AMI IP addresses do not send gratuitous ARP packets which can lead to packet loss if the AMI address has aged out in the network

Specific Models

  • MS120 series switches in extremely rare instances will experience reboots every few minutes (present since MS 11)
  • In rare instances, MS120 series switches may have empty packet captures until they are rebooted
  • MS120/220 series switches will never move a RADIUS server's connectivity status to available if it was ever lost resulting in all authentications being placed into the critical auth VLAN (present since MS 14.32)
  • Ports with an odd-numbered MTU value fail to initialize for MS120/125 series switches (predates MS 11)
  • The local status page cannot be accessed from the management port of MS125s (always present)
  • Enabling Combined Power on MS350/355 switches results in events being logged once per minute (present since MS 11)
  • mGig switches will have an amber light for all physical ports that do not negotiate to the highest supported speed. Dashboard will continue showing a light green status for all ports above 100Mbps. For example, MS355 switch ports will incorrectly show an amber light for 1G, 2.5G, and 5G, but will show a green light for 10G.
  • MS425 stacks in rare instances will start dropping DHCP traffic on trusted ports while DAI is enabled until rebooted (present since MS 12)
  • MS355-48X model switches may fail to provide PoE to some end devices like IoT (always present)
  • MS350-24X and MS355 series switches do not negotiate UPoE over LLDP correctly (always present)
  • When an SFP module is inserted/removed on MS420/425 series switches, BPDUs can be delayed leading to STP transitions in the network (predates MS 12)
  • MS350/450 series switches in a stack configuration will lose dashboard connectivity if a "Deny Any Any" ACL is added without having higher "Allow" rules in place for dashboard connectivity (predates MS 12)
  • MS210/225/350/355/425/450 series switches in large L2 networks experiencing frequent STP TCs can become fully unresponsive (present since MS 15)

MS390

  • MS390s passing line rate traffic on non-uplink ports can have an impact on the management plane connectivity
  • In rare instances, MS390 configurations will fail to be fully applied resulting in random behavior
  • MS390s with multiple CoA policies sharing the same IP but using different ports fails to be configured (always present)
  • MS390 management plane may lose connectivity after changes are made to the storm control percentage
  • MS390 fixed IP assignments are not unconfigured until the system is fully reloaded (present since MS 14.33)
  • In very rare instances, the management plane on MS390s will reboot every few minutes and requires a full reboot to self-correct (present since MS 15)
  • MS390s authenticating over 350 dot1x clients at the same time may see its management connection flap (present since MS 15.15)
  • MS390 stacks in rare instances will experience a full reboot
  • MS390s will fail to configure a port if the allowed VLANs character length is greater than 223 (always present)
  • Dashboard incorrectly reports the slot 2 power supply as offline for MS390s
  • MS390s that receive incorrectly flooded CDP packets may incorrectly report VLAN mismatches and SFP port information (present since MS 12)
  • MS390 "Port Up/Down" events will generate an event log for each stack member
  • MS390s with IGMP snooping enabled will send an IGMP message on every configured VLAN every 125 seconds (always present)
  • Non-MS390 switches move LACP ports to an active forwarding state if configured. This can cause loops when connecting to an MS390 unless the bundles are configured on the MS390 first. All Non-MS390 ports are configured in passive LACP mode so that loops do not occur between Meraki switches (always present)
  • TMS390s in rare instances will experience a system crash when syncing STP databases between stack members (present since MS 14.33)
  • MS390 series switches do not support loop detection
  • MS390 series switches do not support warm spare/VRRP
  • Rebooting an MS390 switch in a stack via the UI will result in the entire stack rebooting
  • Adding additional ports to an MS390 port bundle will cause the entire bundle to be reconfigured causing traffic loss (always present)
  • MS390 throughput is limited to the lowest link speed since boot when QoS is enabled (present since MS 15.11)

Thanks for combining all of that and sorting.

Crazy it's been this long between public releases and that the bug list is still so long. Can anyone from Meraki comment on any goals on getting this code stable?
