Luminex GigaCore 20t

Luminex is pushing GigaCore firmware v1.9.1 as a recommended upgrade for anyone running v1.9.0. It’s a targeted release — no new features, just a fan speed fix and a handful of stability and CPU efficiency bug fixes that are worth having, particularly the switch-lockup fix and the gPTP/PTPv2 improvements under heavy control plane traffic.

All v1.9.0 users are advised to upgrade. The update is available via the Luminex website or directly through Araneo.

Applicable Models

GigaCore S30-I, O26-I, 30i, 20t, 18t, 16t, 16tf, 16i, 10t, 10i, 10t-IP

What’s in v1.9.1

Improvement

  • Fan speed control now takes temperature flags from SFP modules into account

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed unnecessary internal logging and CPU processing when PTPv2 messages are received on non-PTPv2 ports, and on the O26-I with only one PSU connected
  • Fixed a switch-lockup bug caused very occasionally by a racing condition in the snooping table
  • Improved gPTP and PTPv2 stability when the control plane is handling high levels of traffic; also improves CPU efficiency
  • Fixed a bug that allowed forwarding of invalid Layer 2 (non-IP) broadcast messages injected by a third-party device with a multicast source address

Download v1.9.1 from luminex.be or upgrade directly from within Araneo.
