FN414 - Memory Leak in HAL Process in EXOS 16.1.4 - How urgent?

[Thorsten_Breide]

Hi,

FN414 mention memory leak in HAL process which lead to network instability or switch reboot.

My question is how urgent an update to v16.1.4-patch 1-3 or later should be done?
Does somebody know the uptime a switch need to run in this problem?
Or how many Switches are affected? Every Switch running this version or one out of thousand?

We are running BD8810, X670 and X460 with this xos-version.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Thorsten, this issue affects all EXOS platforms running the unpatched version of EXOS 16.1.4.2.

It's difficult to know when the issue would happen, since that depends on FDB add/delete and MACMoves events not releasing the memory properly.

If you are running EXOS 16.1.4.2 no patch I would recommend you to upgrade to EXOS 16.1.4.2 patch1-3 to avoid any surprise.
