I had a two ERS 8600s crash on my over the past week and in my discussions with GNPS they mentioned 5.1.5.0 would be GA very shortly but they mentioned nothing about the issues with 5.1.4.0. Thanks for the comment! You might be interested in checking out the forums; http://forums.networkinfrastructure.info/nortel-ethernet-switching/ Cheers! Hi Loy,

Apparently there are some pretty significant issues that have been found in 5.1.4. Michael,

I never heard of any issues personally, probably because so many people are still reeling from the 4.1.6.x release and haven't yet jumped to the 5.x software. I only have 2 switches out of 36 that are running 5.x software, and then those 34 remaining switches only 8 of them are running 4.1.8.x while all the others are running 4.1.3.x. Cheers! Hi Qaz,

There was a major bug introduced in 5, which has been solved top priority in 5.1.1.1 So Nortel choose the safeside to remove all other version from the webside as a service to the customer (no confusion). LOL sweeping their own street pretty clean I would say. Well… it’s kinda funny if you know some more background why all those other 5 versions where pulled.
