Addressed an issue in LLDP with reset and error similar to "Last switch reset caused by Fault(0x00001100) SRR0(0x0126BB0C) SRR1(0x4002B030) DMISS(0x19DFE888) IMISS(0x00000000) DAR(0x00000000) DSISR(0x00000000)".

Pre-upgrade workaround:
This issue is related to LLDP processing, so disabling it ('

code:

set lldp port status disabled *.*.*'

) should prevent recurrence.

If LLDP is necessary to network functionality, rather than disabling LLDP you may exclude the LLDP MIB:

code:

set snmp view viewname All subtree 1.0.8802.1.1.2 excluded

This allows LLDP to function in terms of advertisements, but prevents SNMP retrieval of LLDP information - which is what triggers the reset event. To remove this command at a later time:

code:

clear snmp view All 1.0.8802.1.1.2
