FTP (SFTP) to download the switch operating system. The error message error while reading: received
a short buffer from FXP_READ, but not at EOF has been observed.
■
SFTP (PR_0000073630, CR_0000078309) - SFTP sessions may not close when the client disconnects, resulting
in session resources remaining open.
■
Switch Hang (PR_0000073576, CR_0000078276) - Switch can hang or reboot if transferring a config file > ~4300
bytes using SCP in SFTP mode. Smaller configuration files do not exhibit the problem.

Fixes
Version E.11.37
Status: Released and fully supported, but not posted on the web.
The following problems were resolved in software version E.11.37.
■
DHCP Snooping (CR_0000126311) - The CLI entry dhcp-snooping option 82 untrusted-policy keep is not included in
the config file if no dhcp-snooping option 82 is also configured. If the config file is saved to a TFTP server, it will not
function properly when subsequently loaded on a switch.
■
Module Crash (CR_0000111233) - A switch module might reboot unexpectedly with task eDrvPoll when sFlow
is enabled. This CR_0000111233 is an improvement of the previous Module Crash fixes (PR_0000047076,
PR_0000059805, and CR_0000076434).
Version E.11.38
Status: Released and fully supported, and posted on the web.
The following problem was resolved in software version E.11.38.
■
IGMP (CR_0000127628) - In a topology where the host connects to a querier, the querier connects to a non-querier
switch, the non-querier switch connects to a router, and the multicast source is beyond the router, the host might not
receive the multicast stream. This happens because a "join" from the host that is received by the querier is not
forwarded by the non-querier switch.
Version E.11.39
Status: Released and fully supported, but not posted on the web.
The following problem was resolved in software version E.11.39.
■
Multicast (CR_0000135085) - With sFlow and PIM enabled, the switch sends duplicate multicast packets which
cause distortion in the multicast stream. This affects multicast streams that are routed.

Status: Released and fully supported, but not posted on the web.
The following problem was resolved in software version E.11.40.
■
Latency (CR_0000139386) - A client might experience poor performance from routed traffic if the client is using
MAC-based or Web-based authentication and is connected to a port configured for the client's authentication method
and also 802.1X authentication.
