Known Limitations {#Known Limitations}
--------------------------------------
|----------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| ID | Symptoms |
| - | Connecting the 4 port 10G (CPAC-4-10F-C) to a Cisco 5K switch series requires disabling of Link Layer Discover Protocol (LLDP) for the relevant port on the switch. For more information, refer to [Cisco Bug: CSCvr25786](https://quickview.cloudapps.cisco.com/quickview/bug/CSCvr25786) and [sk117676](https://support.checkpoint.com/results/sk/sk117676). |
| - | Standalone deployment is not supported on 16000HS, 26000, 28000 and 28600HS appliances. |
| - | Connectivity upgrade is not supported. |
| GAIA-3957, GAIA-3944 | When running the Hardware Diagnostic options of the RMA tool, "*ipsctl_get_family_id:received error*" messages may appear. These error messages can be safely ignored. |
| GAIA-3490 | 10GbE i40e NICs determine their link-speed based on the type of connected transceiver (1G or 10G) and cannot be changed manually. |
| GAIA-4359 | The 1GB x 4ports NIC (CPAC-4-1F-C) is not compatible with the CiscoNexus9k 93180YC-EX switch. |
| GWAPP-244 | There is no alert when only one power supply unit is used in a 26000 and 28000 appliance. These appliances are designed to work with at least 2 power supply units. |
| GWAPP-301 | In some scenarios, there may be a sensor access collision error as both the LOM and x86 access the same BUS. |
| GWAPP-327 | In some instances, when inserting an 8 port 1G card into the appliance slots, the card is not properly inserted into the expansion slot. It can miss the mating connector in the rear of the appliance's I/O slot. Make sure the card is firmly inserted on all sides, clicks into position, and that the NIC panel is flat against the appliance's front panel. |
