Hey folks,
since I couldn't find any field notices about this [1] and I only discovered it from our partner [2], here some informations about the upcoming leap second adjustment: Some Linux based platforms (IOS-XE, NX-OS) may crash on December 31st 23:59:59 due to the upcoming leap second adjustment. Basically all platforms will handle the leap second adjustment incorrectly, including legacy IOS and IOS-XR, but those at least don't crash. See "Product Information" at [1]. "Leap smearing" like Google does [3] may work around this. Happy crash-free new year, -lukas [1] http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/about/supplier-sustainability/leap-second.html [2] http://www.nts.eu/en/networksecurity-en/linux-kernel-crashes-due-leap-second-injection/ [3] https://developers.google.com/time/ _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
