Operation changes

Operation changes in R9130

As from version R9130, you can use the AI ECN feature without installing a license. After downgrading the software from version R9130 to an earlier version, you must re-install and activate the license. If you have uninstalled the license in the earlier version, the license uninstallation information still exists but you can still use the AI ECN feature after you upgrade the software to version R9130.

As from version R9130, you do not need to install a license to use the lossless features.

As from this version, the rail-group keyword in the LBN-related commands is changed to lbn-group. The old and new command syntaxes have the same service configuration method, function, and command output, and differ only in command keywords. For more information, see H3C S9855_9825-CMW910-R9130 Release Notes (Software Feature Changes).

Restrictions and cautions

Restrictions

Hardware

·         On the S9825-64D switch, only ports 1, 5, 9, 13, 17, 21, 25, 29, 33, 37, 41, 45, 49, 53, 57, and 61 support ZR transceiver modules.

·         On the S9825-64D-H1 switch, ports 1, 5, 9, 13, 17, 21, 25, 29, 33, 37, 41, 45, 49, 53, 57, and 61 support ZR transceiver modules. To have ports 3, 4, 7, 8, 11, 12, 15, 16, 19, 20, 23, 24, 27, 28, 31, 32, 35, 36, 39, 40, 43, 44, 47, 48, 51, 52, 55, 56, 59, 60, 63, and 64 support both ZR and ZR+ transceiver modules, install eight fan trays on the switch.

Software

·         When you configure mirroring inbound traffic on an aggregation member port of the S9855 switch, the inbound traffic of all member ports in the aggregation group is mirrored to the destination port.

·         Before you configure PFC for 802.1p priorities, you cannot disable or enable PFC deadlock detection.

·         The M-LAG aggregate interface does not support the arp max-learning-num or nd max-learning-num command.

·         Ports on the S9855 switch series are grouped. Make sure each group has up to 18 ports in total after interface splitting.

·         Ports on the S9855-24B8D switch are grouped as follows:

¡  Group 1—Ports 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 26, and 28.

¡  Group 2—Ports 6, 8, 13, 15, 17, 19, 30, and 32.

¡  Group 3—Ports 9, 11, 18, 20, 21, 23, 27, and 29.

¡  Group 4—Ports 10, 12, 14, 16, 22, 24, 25, and 31.

Network configuration

N/A

Cautions

Hardware

N/A

Software

·         Enabling IP statistics on an aggregate interface consumes user ACL resources. As a best practice, do not configure IP statistics on an aggregate interface when you have requirements for the user ACL resource usage.

·         Before you enable AI ECN, enable gRPC.

·         After the S9825 switch series supports VXLAN, the hardware resources of the ARP or ND table in routing mode are halved compared to the earlier versions.

For information about registering licenses, installing activation files, and transferring licenses, see H3C Switches & Routers Licensing Guide.

Obtaining license server software and documentation

To perform remote licensing, first download and install the H3C license server software.

·         To obtain the H3C license server software package, click H3C license server software package

·         To obtain H3C license server documentation, click H3C license server documentation

Open problems and workarounds

202402070548

·         Symptom: After a device is configured as an INT exit node, the CAR rate limit is inaccurate on the device, and the interfaces might flap.

·         Condition: This symptom occurs if a device is configured as an INT exit node and the device receives a large number of INT packets.

·         Workaround: Sample INT packets on the INT entry node to reduce the INT packet rate.

CVE-2022-2153

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel KVM when attempting to set a SynIC IRQ. This issue makes it possible for a misbehaving VMM to write to SYNIC/STIMER MSRs, causing a NULL pointer dereference. This flaw allows an unprivileged local attacker on the host to issue specific ioctl calls, causing a kernel oops condition that results in a denial of service.

CVE-2020-10188

utility.c in telnetd in netkit telnet through 0.17 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via short writes or urgent data, because of a buffer overflow involving the netclear and nextitem functions.

CVE-2020-8231

Due to use of a dangling pointer, libcurl 7.29.0 through 7.71.1 can use the wrong connection when sending data.

Fixed security vulnerabilities in R9126

CVE-2022-0435

A stack overflow flaw was found in the Linux kernel's TIPC protocol functionality in the way a user sends a packet with malicious content where the number of domain member nodes is higher than the 64 allowed. This flaw allows a remote user to crash the system or possibly escalate their privileges if they have access to the TIPC network.

CVE-2001-0554

Buffer overflow in BSD-based telnetd telnet daemon on various operating systems allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a set of options including AYT (Are You There), which is not properly handled by the telrcv function.

CVE-2003-1069

The Telnet daemon (in.telnetd) for Solaris 2.6 through 9 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption by infinite loop).

CVE-2022-25375

An issue was discovered in drivers/usb/gadget/function/rndis.c in the Linux kernel before 5.16.10. The RNDIS USB gadget lacks validation of the size of the RNDIS_MSG_SET command. Attackers can obtain sensitive information from kernel memory.

CVE-2022-0322

A flaw was found in the sctp_make_strreset_req function in net/sctp/sm_make_chunk.c in the SCTP network protocol in the Linux kernel with a local user privilege access. In this flaw, an attempt to use more buffer than is allocated triggers a BUG_ON issue, leading to a denial of service (DOS).

CVE-2021-3772

A flaw was found in the Linux SCTP stack. A blind attacker may be able to kill an existing SCTP association through invalid chunks if the attacker knows the IP-addresses and port numbers being used and the attacker can send packets with spoofed IP addresses.

CVE-2022-1055

A use-after-free exists in the Linux Kernel in tc_new_tfilter that could allow a local attacker to gain privilege escalation. The exploit requires unprivileged user namespaces.

CVE-2021-4203

A use-after-free read flaw was found in sock_getsockopt() in net/core/sock.c due to SO_PEERCRED and SO_PEERGROUPS race with listen() (and connect()) in the Linux kernel. In this flaw, an attacker with a user privileges may crash the system or leak internal kernel information.

CVE-2022-25636

net/netfilter/nf_dup_netdev.c in the Linux kernel 5.4 through 5.6.10 allows local users to gain privileges because of a heap out-of-bounds write. This is related to nf_tables_offload.

Appendix C Upgrading software

About startup software images

A startup software image is a program file used to boot the device. The S9855&S9825 switch series supports the following startup software images:

·         Main startup image—By default, a device uses the main startup image to boot the device.

·         Backup startup image—When the main startup image is not available, the device uses the backup startup image to boot the device.

Typically, a startup software image is a .bin file, for example, main.bin.

Upgrade methods

Table 6 Upgrade methods

Upgrade method

Remarks

Upgrading the startup software image from the CLI

You must reboot the device to complete the upgrade.

This method interrupts switch services.

Upgrading the startup software image from the BootWare menu

Use this method when the device cannot start up correctly.

 

Preparing for the upgrade

IMPORTANT

IMPORTANT:

You must reboot the switch after upgrading its startup image. During the reboot, the switch cannot provide any services.

 

Before you upgrade the startup software image, complete the following tasks:

·         Configure routes to make sure that the switch and the file server can reach each other.

·         Enable the TFTP or FTP server on the file server.

·         Log in to the CLI through a configuration terminal.

·         Copy the target startup software image for upgrade to the file server and correctly set the access path of the TFTP or FTP server.

Upgrading the startup software image from the CLI

Using TFTP to upgrade the startup software image

The switch acts as the TFTP client to access the specified path on the TFTP server and complete the backup and upgrade operations for the startup software image. Perform the following tasks:

Backing up the current startup image and configuration file

1.       Execute the save command in any view to save the running configuration of the switch.

<Sysname> save

The current configuration will be written to the device. Are you sure? [Y/N]:y

Please input the file name(*.cfg)[flash:/startup.cfg]

(To leave the existing filename unchanged, press the enter key):

flash:/startup.cfg exists, overwrite? [Y/N]:y

Validating file. Please wait...

Saved the current configuration to mainboard device successfully.

<Sysname>

2.       Execute the dir command in user view to display the startup image name, configuration file name, and the free space size of the flash memory. Make sure the flash memory has sufficient space for the new startup image.

Configuring the file type

A file acting as both the main and backup images is a *b file. You can edit the *, b, or *b file type in the BootWare menu. For the * and b file types, only one file is supported on a device. For example, if a boot software package file of the *b type exists in the flash memory, the flash memory does not support any other boot software package files of the * or b type. If you change the file type of another boot software package file to b, the previous *b type boot software package file becomes a * type file.

On the startup file selection submenu, press 2 to configure the startup image type.

Handling software upgrade failures

If a software upgrade fails, the system runs the old software version. To handle a software failure:

1.       Check the physical ports for a loose or incorrect connection.

2.       If you are using the console port for file transfer, check the HyperTerminal settings (including the baud rate and data bits) for any wrong setting.

3.       Check the file transfer settings:

¡  If XMODEM is used, you must set the same baud rate for the terminal as for the console port.

¡  If TFTP is used, you must enter the same server IP addresses, file name, and working directory as set on the TFTP server.

¡  If FTP is used, you must enter the same FTP server IP address, source file name, working directory, and FTP username and password as set on the FTP server.

4.       Check the FTP or TFTP server for any incorrect setting.

5.       Check that the storage device has sufficient space for the upgrade file.

6.       If the message “Something is wrong with the file” appears, check the file for file corruption.
