Refer to 2.1, “Resolved BTI 700 Series limitations” for details. 1-2 BTI™ 700 Series Ethernet Access Device Release Notes – Document Version 01 BTI 700 Series EAD operational behavior 1.2 Hardware and software limitations of the BTI 700 Series EADs with no fix planned Table 1-1 Hardware and software limitations of the BTI 700 Series EADs with no fix planned Limitation Affects The maximum valid value of rate-limit out (egress) is 6654 (approximately 415MB). BTI 702 When CAR is applied, the rate limitations are applied to packets up to 5400 in length. For BTI 702 the most accurate Ingress rate limiting, use the "meters" functionality of the NE. Some CLI commands such as show mac may take up to 30 seconds to display. BTI 702 MEF-9 “non-preservation” functionality is not supported BTI 702 and BTI 704 Egress port filters are not supported. BTI 702 and BTI 704 802.1ag and Y.1731 CCM messages below 1-second intervals are not supported. BTI 702, BTI 704, BTI 712, and BTI 718 It is not possible to apply filters to overlapping customer VLAN IDs. BTI 702, BTI 704, BTI 712, and BTI 718 Back-to-back might not link. For more information, contact your BTI Systems representative BTI 702 to obtain a copy of the Technical Information Bulletin (TIB) BTI-TIB 013-2011 Issue 01 Autoneg. A copper SFP plugged into a port will show “Optical” at the interface level. BTI 718 Virtual untag functionality is not supported. BTI 702 and BTI 704 BTI 702 SNMP walk will be slower if you are using inband management to connect to the BTI 702 BTI 702 node. The Inband communication has a speed limit. The Outband Management port does not have this limitation. Product Release 1.5.5 STANDARD 1-3 BTI 700 Series EAD operational behavior 1.3 Network element release compatibility For customers running Release 1.0, 1.2, 1.2.1, 1.4, or 1.4.1 who would prefer to upgrade to Release 1.5/1.5.2/1.5.3/1.5.4/1.5.5, see the system software upgrade procedure in the BTI 700 Series EAD Technical Product Guide or in the BTI 700 Series EAD Technical Product Guide for details on alignment of OS and BIOS files across the EAD portfolio. Important If a system software upgrade or downgrade is not performed correctly, it will result in a nonfunctional system. Note R1.5.5 software image files are only available through BTI’s support portal.
