SDK/FW Fixed Issues:
• When a system has more than 256 ACL entries, on rare occasion, removing/adding entries may cause some ACL entries not to work.
• When using mirror session policer on spectrum-2, spectrum-3, the actual CIR was 1.28 times more than the configured CIR value
• After warm boot process, when enabling ECN marking and the port is in split mode, traffic sent to the port under congestion (for example, when connecting two ports with a total speed of 50GbE to a single 25GbE port) is not marked.
• Warm boot might fail if the key value SAI_KEY_ACCUMULATED_FLOW_COUNTER_UNITS_IN_KB is set
• If counters are bound to an next hop group, there is a probability the next API calls that modify the next-hop group members will fail.
• In Spectrum platforms Fastboot mode is not operational for Split port with Force mode in 50G speed
• When fine grain next hop group has a size of 2K or 4K members, and group is removed, FW will remove only (size % 2048) members, resulting in leakage of KVD resources
• When reading some port statistics, or bulk reading some Queue or PG statistics, and in parallel reading or writing other counters, FW may, in rare cases, get stuck
• SN2201 Module 1 is considered to be present/linked while no cable/module is plugged
• On Spectrum-3 when port configure to 400G FW might stuck after running mlxlink while 400G interface connected and swap between upper and lower 4 lanes
SAI New features:
• ACL: Added support for an ACL match on the AETH field (SAI_ACL_TABLE_ATTR_FIELD_AETH_SYNDROME, SAI_ACL_ENTRY_ATTR_FIELD_AETH_SYNDROME) to count RoCE NAK and CNP packets.
• PLL Status: Added a new logging entry that alerts the user upon a PLL lock loss event.
• Dual ToR - Additional MAC Address: Added support for setting a MAC address for the router interface which is not part of the 10 bit MAC address available for RIFs on Spectrum-1, as part of the Dual ToR scenario.
• Dual ToR: DSCP Remapping Added support for tunnel QoS maps as part of the Dual TOR scenario.
SAI Fixed issues:
• When setting a WRED profile attribute for a color that was not enabled during the profile create time, an error would be returned. After the fix, a default profile is create on such scenario and the set attribute is applied on top of it
• When calling the flush FDB by using the SAI_FDB_FLUSH_ATTR_BRIDGE_PORT_ID attribute, the bridge bv_id value was filled on the notification callback where it should have been left empty.

1. Fixed bug in recovery mechanism in case of I2C error when trying to access the XSFP module.
2. On the NVIDIA Spectrum-2 switch, when receiving a packet with Symbol Errors on ports that are configured to cut-thought mode, a pipeline might get stuck.
3. On the Spectrum-2 and Spectrum-3 switch, if you enable ECN marking and the port is in split mode, traffic sent to the port under congestion (for example, when connecting two ports with a total speed of 50GbE to a single 25GbE port) is not marked.
4. Modifying existing entry/Adding new one when switch is at its maximum capacity (full by maximum allowed entries from any type such as routes, FDB, and so forth), will fail with an error.
5. When many ports are active (e.g., 70 ports up), and the configuration of shared buffer is applied on the fly, occasionally, the firmware might get stuck.
6. When a system has more than 256 ACL rules, on rare occasion, removing/adding rules may cause some ACL rules not to work.
7. On SN2201 system, on RJ45 port, the link might appear in 'down' state even if it operations properly.
8. Layer 4 port information is not initialized for BFD packet event. To address the issue, remote peer UDP port information was added in BFD packet event.
9. When setting LAG as a SPAN analyzer, the distributor mode of the LAG members was not taken into account. It may happen that the LAG member with distributor mode disabled will be set as a SPAN analyzer port.

New functionality:
1. Added support for 6.5W (Class 8) in ports 49-50, 53-54, 57-58, and 61-62 on SN4600 system
Fix the following issues:
1. On very rare occasion (~1/100K), during I2C transaction with MMS1V50-WM and MMS1V90-WR modules on SN4700 system, the module may send unexpected stop which violate the I2C specification, possibly affecting the link up flow
2. When running 1GbE speeds on SN4600 system, the port remained active while peer side was closed
3. While toggling the cable with ‘sfputil lpmode on/off’, error msg like “ERR pmon#xcvrd: Receive PMPE error event on module 1: status {X} error type {y}” could be received
4. When toggling many ports of the Spectrum devices while raising 10GbE link up and link maintenance is enabled, the switch may get stuck and may need to be rebooted
5. When trying to reconfigure the Flex Parser header and Flex transition parameters after ISSU, the switch will returned an error even if the configuration was identical to that done before performing the ISSU
6. While moving from lossless to lossy mode while shared headroom was used, reduction of the shared headroom can only be done prior to pool type change and when shared headroom is not utilized
7. SLL configuration is missing in SDK dump
8. If TTL_CMD_COPY is used in Encap direction for a packet with no TTL, then the value passed in the ttl data structure will be used if non-zero (default 255 if zero)
9. PCI calibration changes from a static to a dynamic mechanism
10. Layer 4 port information is not initialized for BFD packet event. To address the issue, remote peer UDP port information was added in BFD packet event

100GbE FCI DAC (10137628-4050LF/HPE PN: 845408-B21) was recognized by mistake as supporting "cable burning' which caused the switch firmware to read page 0x9f (which unsupported in the cable) and to report this cable as having "bad eeprom".
Added remote peer UDP port information in BFD packet event.
After editing an ECMP, the resilient ECMP next-hop counter may not count correctly.
Fixed potential memory leaks in some APIs related to LPM
If TTL_CMD_COPY is used in Encap direction for a packet with no TTL, then the value passed in the ttl data structure will be used if non-zero (default 255 if zero).
In SN2201: When configuring Force mode, user should configure Speed and FEC on both sides
In Flex Tunnel encapsulation flow, if the encapsulation is with an IPv6 header, the flow label field may not be updated as expected.
In some cases, when changing speed to 400GbE over 8 lanes, the first few packets would be dropped.
In some traffic patterns involving small packets, the PortRcvErrors counter may mistakenly count events of local physical errors due to an internal flow in the hardware that involves link packets.
On Spectrum systems, sometimes during link failure, not all previous firmware indications cleared properly, potentially affecting the next link up attempt.
On the NVIDIA Spectrum-2 switch, when receiving a packet with Symbol Errors on ports that are configured to cut-thought mode, a pipeline might get stuck.
PCI calibration changes from a static to a dynamic mechanism.
SDK debug dump shows "Unknown" Counter in RFC3635 Counter Group.
SDK debug dump shows "Unknown" Counter in the PPCNT Traffic Class Counter Group.
SDK Dump missing column headers in some GC tables may result in difficulty understanding the dump.
SLL configuration is missing in SDK dump.
Spectrum-2 systems, do no support 1GbE on supported 40GbE modules.
When binding a UDP port which is already in use for BFD TX session, the error message appears incorrectly.
When Flex Tunnel was used, Flex Modifier sometimes experienced a brief mis-configuration during ISSU.
When many ports are active (e.g. 70 ports up), and the configuration of shared buffer is applied on the fly, occasionally, the firmware might get stuck.
When running 1GbE speeds on SN4600 system, the port remained active while peer side was closed.
When toggling many ports of the Spectrum devices while raising 10GbE link up and link maintenance is enabled, the switch may get stuck and may need to be rebooted.
When trying to reconfigure the Flex Parser header and Flex transition parameters after ISSU, the switch will returned an error even if the configuration was identical to that done before performing the ISSU.
While toggling the cable, and the low power mode is set to ON, an unexpected PMPE event error is received.

SDK
1. Under various circumstances, Ethernet ports falsely showed that InfiniBand cables were connected.
2. In SN4600C, at times, the link up time in both DAC and optics cables may, in the worst case, take up to 15 seconds.
3. Using SN4600C with copper or optics loopback cables in NRZ speeds, link may raise in long link up times
4. When ECMP has high amount of next-hops based on VLAN interfaces, in some rare cases, packets will get a wrong VLAN tag and will be dropped.
5. When connecting Spectrum devices with optical transceivers that support RXLOS, remote side port down might cause the switch firmware to get stuck and cause unexpected switch behavior.
6. Aggregation event is missing for WJH L2 drop reason 'Unicast egress port list is empty'.
7. Tying the SCL and SDA of the optical modules to 3.3V causes errors.
8. On SN4600, there was a delay of more than 10 seconds from the time a data packet is sent from CPU until it is transmitted through one of the switch ports.
9. While using SN4600C system with Finisar FTLC1157RGPL 100GbE CWDM4 modules, intermittent link flaps across multiple ports may be observed.
10. In Spectrum-2 and Spectrum-3 systems, link did not work in auto-negotiation when connected to Marvell PHY. KR mechanism has been enhanced to integrate with Marvell PHY.
11. The tunnel counter counts the drop packets now for Spectrum-2 and Spectrum-3 and consistent with Spectrum behavior and count the ECN dropped packets as well.
12. When connecting SN3800 to Cisco-9000, fast-linkup flow will fail and will rise in the normal flow.

Spectrum-3 | SN4700 | While using Optic cable in Split 4x1 mode in PAM4, when two first ports are toggled, the other 2 ports go down
Spectrum-3 | SN4700 | When working in 400GbE, deleting the headroom configuration (changing buffer size to zero) on the fly may cause continual packet drops
SAI
All | sFlow | Use hardcoded value 1 as netlink group number ax expected by hsflowd
- How I did it
Update the related version number in the make files and update the submodule pointer accordingly.
- How to verify it
Run regression test and everything works good.
To have the following fixes:
* All | Port status remains down after warm boot and flapping the port on peer side
* All | LAG HASH | IPv6 SRC_IP is not accounted in LAG hashing [
* All | ASIC driver | Kernel crash observed when driver reload is initiated before it fully loaded
* Spectrum-3 | Buffer | In lossless configuration, headroom is been evicted only when the shared buffers is free
* All | prevent FW access during ISSU

Bugs fixes:
All | Kernel | During system reload when CPU is loaded with heavy traffic, a Kernel Panic may occur.
All | Modules, Port split | FW stuck when device rebooted with locked Optical Transceivers in split mode
Spectrum-3 | PFC | On Spectrum-3 systems, slow reaction time to Rx pause packets on 40GbE ports may lead to buffer overflow on servers.
Spectrum-3 | SN4700, Port Split | On rare occasion SN4700, conducting 100G split (4x25G) in NRZ when splitter port 1 or 2 are down, ports 3 and 4 will also go down.
Enahncments:
All | Kernel | new notification on ISSU start, so other kernel drivers can disable any interface to ASIC

Features:
Spectrum-3 | Systems | Added GA-level support for SN4700 A0 system
All | Shared headroom | Added GA-level support for Shared headroom between PGs
Bugs fixes:
All | Counters | Sent traffic in certain size is wrongly increase to a smaller size counter, because port extended counter has a counter for sent traffic per packet-size range
All | Shared buffer | Configuring shared buffer on the fly may, on occasion, cause the chip to get stuck
Spectrum-2 | Modules | On occasion, link down is experienced with INPHI COLORZ PAM4 100G optic cables on SN3700 systems
