*** Notice of Withdrawal ***

A functional issue has been identified with firmware Version 21.0.1.10.

The use of Version 21.0.1.10 firmware is not recommended at this time.

The issue pertains to the PVST+ (Per VLAN spanning tree protocol). The function is intended to ensure proper operation with switches that use Cisco Per VLAN Spanning Tree (PVST+). When running firmware 21.0.1.10 the switch may transmit an unexpected Bridge Protocol Data Unit (BPDU) causing the connection to be dropped.

The released 21.0.1.10 firmware is being withdrawn. Until a new firmware level is tested and released, firmware 21.0.1.1 has been substituted on the 21.0.1.10 link below.

The release of the new supported firmware package is being expedited. Fri, 29 Sep 2006 00:00:00 EST http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=ibm&lndocid=MIGR-58216 Supported systems:
