Opened: Dec 09, 2016 Severity: 3-Major
A port-mirror configuration can fail 'silently', that is, no error from MCPD yet the following is logged in /var/log/ltm: err bcm56xxd: 012c0011:3: Trunk port trouble with bcm_mirror_port_set() Entry exists bs_mirror.c(598). err bcm56xxd: 012c0010:3: Trouble committing mirror settings to hardware: 0:21 bs_mirror.c(671). err bcm56xxd: 012c0010:3: Trouble setting port mirror from 2.1 to 2.6 bsx.c(5173). Once this happens, any subsequent port-mirror configuration will result in a deadlock condition and SOD will restart bcm56xxd. If the port-mirror interfaces are part of a trunk, any trunk configuration will cause this condition. For example, adding a vCMP guest.
bcm56xxd continuously restarts until the bad port-mirror configuration is removed.
Prior 'silent' port-mirror configuration error followed by a subsequent port-mirror configuration command.
None.
