Known Anomalies

Bug ID	Headline	Comments/Description
CSCdp32274	Bug Description: Can't add IP Gateway address to MGX-8260	The IP address on the default gateway is currently not configurable on the MGX-8260. Hence, to establish a IP session with the MGX 8260, the adjacent router needs to be configured with proxy ARP.

CSCdr25446	Bug Description: tln task crashed when interogating	User telnet to the service card and issue an illegal command. The defensive mechanism did not cover this case. This causes the task to suspend. The suspended task does not have any affect on traffic. The capability to telnet to the service card has been provided only for engineering usage.
CSCdr00959	Bug Description: Load Run Call Failures - 401	Call Agent (VSC) and 8260 interaction problem. Problem arise with call rate 23 cps or higher. This usually is the end affect of a failed call or a stuck end point. Workaround: Use "mpcDelCalls" or "mpcDelEp" to clear the resource

Installing the Exhaust Plenum

The exhaust plenum is an MGX 8260 accessory that assures proper airflow through the chassis when other equipment is mounted above it. Although the plenum primarily controls airflow, it also protects the internal components from falling objects or other physical damage. You install the exhaust plenum over the top-most MGX 8260 in a one or two-chassis configuration; you don't need the plenum for a rack with three MGX 8260s.

: To install the exhaust plenum, follow these steps:

Step 1 Place the plenum over the top MGX 8260 chassis in a one- or two-chassis configuration.

Step 2 Secure the plenum to the rack using the screws provided.
