reset/power cycle.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE KNOWN PROBLEMS EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Below are listed known problems which still exist on the respective management
modules.
1. On the VT100 Port Setup screen, the `Link State' and `Lost Links'
fields are displayed for Thin Coax ports, but they do not apply to this
type of port.
2. On the VT100 Repeater Statistics, Unit Statistics and Port Statistics
screens, Short Events are counted as Runts.
3. On the VT100 Unit Setup screen, a unit configured as Disable on Boot
will indicate `All Ports Disabled' in the `Unit Boot State' field, even
if any ports have been selectively enabled via the VT100 Port Setup
screen. This also applies if the unit is not Disable on Boot and some
ports have been selectively disabled.
4. On the VT100 Remote Poll screen, if there are multiple instances of the
screen, they will share the same Target Address. This may happen if
there are multiple Telnet sessions, or a serial port session and a
Telnet session. The last address entered is the address that will be
polled.
5. On the VT100 Remote Poll screen, if an IP address is entered but the
stack has no IP configuration then no error message is displayed. A
similar problem will occur with IPX.
6. On the VT100 Edit User screen, if the values entered in the `New
Password' and `Confirm Password' fields are different, an error message
is displayed when `OK' is selected. If [Return] is then pressed, a null
password is set for the user. The user can log in, but if an attempt is
made to change the password again, the message `Old Password Field Not
Completed' will be displayed.
7. If the stack has a configuration that results in a large number of traps
being generated within a short space of time, it is possible that some
traps will not be sent.
8. If the Software Upgrade download activity fails, the trap reporting the
error may indicate an incorrect status. Successful download will always
result in a correct trap status.
9. Backspace does not work correctly on some "VT100" terminal emulators.
If this happens, use [Ctrl-H].
10. Setting End Station Filter to forwardNone has no effect as addresses
will still be learnt.
11. The counters, alarms and traps indicating the rate of errors, expressed
as "errors per 10,000 packets" can be misleading. Note that this is an
indication of rate, not absolute values. For example, a value of 180
errors per 10,000 packets does not mean that 180 errors have occurred.
It means that over the averaging period of the alarm, a rate of at least
one error in (10,000 divided by 180 =) 56 packets has been exceeded.

Details on how to upgrade the Management Agent are given in the manual

A TFTP Server is required in order to perform the upgrade. 3Com provides
