Aerohive SR2348P and Delta Updates

[RobertD1]

Hello,

Does the SR2348P switch support delta updates as I made a port type change to a single interface and saw the Configuration was updating but then the switch rebooted which came as a surprise.

When do Update you don't see an option for delta or complete like you do with EXOS switches.

I now feel reluctant to change the configuration of this switch if it reboots each time. Beforehand the audit delta showed all interfaces so maybe this was the reason why? Afterwards I tried again and only see the delta change but I don't want to update the config and reboot a second time to prove a point.

Thanks

Rob

Thanks Rob,

I pushed a completely new template to the switch and later changed port to trunk and changed vlans. None of those triggered a switch reboot. If possible, I would suggest you make a change, push the config update to the switch and if it reboots please open a case with GTAC for in depth analysis.

Hi Christoph,

Could setting the PSE profile be a reason for the reboot? I'm intrigued that when you change the port type you don't see a reboot.  

Does changing the spanning-tree mode require a reset?

Thanks Chris. There are many sites with these switches in so I need to test out of office hours another site to see if it happens again. If it does I'll need to open a case to understand why as this will prevent making changes in hours, even for a simple update.

Hello Rob,

I just tested this in the lab by changing an access port to trunk, pushed the config but no reboot was triggered. You may have had other pending updates that forced a reboot in your case. Made a minor change as well (hostname), but this did not trigger a reboot either. 

Please provide steps you followed to trigger the reboot so that we may try to reproduce it in our labs. 

What firmware version is it on?
