  Known Problems:  ProLiant BL p-Class GbE Switch Firmware Version 2.0.0
------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Resetting to factory defaults and saving IP settings will change
  the switch set up from DHCP to manual IP setting. If you are using
  DHCP to establish your IP address, use the "Reboot & Load Factory
  Default Configuration" option instead of "Reboot & Load Factory
  Default Configuration Except IP Address."

- If you enter a list of Security IP addresses, SNMP querries only work for the
  first 3 entries. Telnet and Web connections work properly for all entries.

- The default SNMP rwcommunity string is "private." Please change this on 
  initial configuration of the switch, if it does not meet your security needs.
  See the configuration chapters of the user guide for more information.

- Poor performance may be encountered if flow control is enabled on Gigabit 
  uplinks.  In some test cases, maximum throughput was reduced by 50% with flow
  Control enabled on the Gigabit uplinks.  Flow control is disabled by default 
  so this problem will not be encountered unless flow control is enabled 
  through operator interaction.

- When an XML file is downloaded via the Web interface, the switch reboots. 
  If a switch reboot when downloading a new configuration file is not wanted, 
  use the command line or menu interfaces.

- When a switch is relocated from one position in a rack to another position, 
  the SNMP trap switchLocationChange is expected upon switch reboot.  The 
  delivery of this trap is currently unreliable.
