 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------



1. Limitations of the release MICE 09.1.12
==========================================
(01) Backpressure (flowcontrol in halfduplex) is not supported.
(02) In VLAN 0 transparent mode the configuration of VLAN 1 has an impact 
     to untagged and priority only tagged traffic.
(03) The egress limiter all is not supported on halfduplex ports.
(04) To load an old ACA11 configuration following device replacement is recommended:
     MS2108 (8 port)    ->  MS2008 (8 port)
     MS3124 (24 port)   ->  MS2024 (24 port)
     RS2-4R (4 port)    ->  RS2004-xxxx (4 port)
     RS2-xx/xx (7 port) ->  RS2008-xxxx (8 port)
     RS2-16M (16 port)  ->  RS2016-xxxx (16 port)
(05) In the mode "Discard unknown multicasts" following standard multicast
     addresses were defined as static filters and so have the state known:
     - FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF (Broadcast)
     - 01:80:C2:00:00:00 (Spanning Tree)
     - 01:80:C2:00:00:20 (GMRP)
     - 01:80:C2:00:00:21 (GVRP)
     - 01:00:5E:00:01:01 (SNTP-Multicast)
     - 01:00:5E:00:01:81 - 01:00:5E:00:01:84 (PTP-Multicasts)
     - 01:1B:19:00:00:00 (PTPv2 L2 Multicast)
     - 01:0E:CF:00:00:00 (DCP)
     - 01:15:4E:00:00:01 - 01:15:4E:00:00:02 (MRP)
     - 01:00:5E:7F:10:0C (HiDiscoveryv2)
(06) Link aggregation in Hiper Ring or in the redundant ringcoupling
     is not supported.
(07) After replacing a media module with a media module of another type, 
	 check the settings of the corresponding ports and adapt the settings if necessary.
