ease

Known issues
------------
1. Scenario: The EEPROM image of an ASF capable adapter was re-burned after AS
F agent
was installed and ASF2.0 security keys were set.
Symptom: May cause loss of functionality of ASF2.0 commands.
Workaround: Reenter the existing security keys using the ASF agent user inter
face.
2. Scenario: 82573 Gigabit Ethernet Controller was configured to send watchdog
expiration event in case boot hang occurs.
Symptom: No watchdog expiration event is being sent upon BIOS boot hang.
Workaround: No workaround available.
3. Scenario: 82573 Gigabit Ethernet Controller was configured to send watchdog
expiration event in case OS hang occurs.
System was shut down via an RMCP command sent to the
82573 Gigabit Ethernet Controller.
Symptom: An OS-hung Watchdog will be sent.
Workaround: No workaround available.

4. Issue: ASF Agent does not support more than one IP per ASF-capable adapt
er.
Symptom: When using ASF-capable adapter with multiple IP addresses, only t
he first
IP address will be used by the ASF Agent in order to connect to t
he
 Management Console. If the first IP address is not on the same su
bnet as
the Management Console, a message Management console cannot be rea
ched
will appear and ASF Agent will enter Safe Mode.
Workaround: No workaround available. Make sure that the first IP address of t
he ASF
capable adapter is on the same subnet with the Management Console
.

Limitations
-----------

1. Issue: ASF and teaming do not work at the same time.

Symptom: One cannot configure teaming on a set of adapters when ASF is ena
bled on one of them.
There is one exception to this rule if the team consists of the t
wo ports of an
82571EB adapter, a team can be created even if ASF is enabled on
one of the ports.

2. Scenario: Using direct packets to wake up systems through a 10/100 NIC when
ASF is enabled.
Symptom: You cannot wake up a machine using an 10/100 NIC with a direct pa
cket while ASF is
enabled. This is intentional, so the machine won't wake from the
ASF's MC pings.
Workaround: Wake up the machine remotely using ASF remote control capabilitie
s.
