      (30.2010.1232).
      
      The following bugs were fixed:
      
      - On Spectrum-3, when cut-through forwarding large frames from a 1Gbps port
        to a 100Gbps one, packets would get corrupted.
      - Several issues in handling of MPLS on Spectrum-2.
      - An issue that caused fast reboot to take longer than 30s.
      - An issue with bulk update of FDB where roamed FDB entries were not
        updated.
      - Maximum MTU reported for Quantum chips was 4222 bytes instead of 4096.
      - Packets wrongly discarded due to egress STP filter when VxLAN is
        configured.
      - On Spectrum-2, on 1Gbps or 10Gbps ports, when congestion occurs, packets
        would very rarely get stuck in the chip and cause switch to hang.
      - On Spectrum-3, when ECMP has many next hops based on VLAN interfaces
        packets may rarely get a wrong VLAN tag and be dropped.
      - On Spectrum-3, effective speed of a 400Gbps port would only be 380Gbps
        with 1500-byte packets.
      - On a switch with an external PHY, attempts to configure PFC are no longer
        bounced by FW as unsupported.
      - An issue in handling of QinQ packets with EtherType 8100 on Spectrum-3.
      - On SN4800, an issue in PCIe gen3 link negotiation instability.

      Add latest verified version of Nvidia Spectrum-family switch firmware,
      for Spectrum (13.2010.1006), Spectrum-2 (29.2010.1006) and Spectrum-3
      (30.2010.1006).
      
      The following issues have been fixed:
      
      - On SN3700C systems, the SLL (switch lifetime limit) default was
        misconfigured causing the send queue to get stuck.
      - Processing of QDPM, a register that controls mapping from DSCP values to
        packet priority, could have latency > 11000 us.
      - A cycle of port splitting and unsplitting may have lead to a FW hang.
      - On Spectrum-2 and Spectrum-3, packets stuck in the pipe could cause ASIC
        freeze after port is unmapped.
      - Quota type on MC shared buffer pool is now initialized to static, instead
        of being left uninitialized. Note that this is a work-around and might go
        away in the future. FW client should explicitly initialize all used
        pools.
      
      With following new features now supported:
      
      - On Spectrum-2 binding drop counters of multicast packets per switch
        priority is now supported through the SBDCM register.
      - This FW exposes an existing ASIC feature whereby forwarded packets are
        truncated on ingress.
      - Timestamps can now be stored on packet SMAC instead of FCS, allowing
        48-bit timestamp granularity instead of 32 bits.
      - Latency-triggered buffer snapshots, on Spectrum-4.
      - RIF cache, Spectrum-2 and above.
      - Accumulative counters, which uses packet sampling to reduce counter
        memory demands at the expense of counter accuracy.

      (30.2008.3326).
      
      The following issues are fixed in this version:
      
      - Several issues in tracking PTP timestamps on Spectrum-3.
      - An issue in fine-grained LAG configuration, which would mangle KVD on
        Spectrum-2 and later.
      - An issue in FW command interface, which would mangle temporary buffers,
        leading to wrong initialization of a port.
      - Issues in querying of LPM entries and tunnel decapsulation configuration.
      - A Spectrum-2 issue where a too-short VXLAN-decapsulated packet would get
        zero-padded and trapped, instead of getting dropped.
      - An issue where latency would not be reported for egress-sampled packets
        on 10Gbps and 25Gbps ports on Spectrum-3.
      - A packet scheduler configuration issue which would cause drops of small
        packets on 10Gbps line rate on Spectrum-3.
      - An issue in handling multicast traffic, which would be trapped under a
        wrong trap reason.
      - Two issues in sFlow policer configuration.
      - An issue in port headroom watermark reporting.
      - An issue in port headroom reconfiguration while traffic is ingressing the
        port.

        25Gbps to 400Gbps on Spectrum-3.
      - A MID reallocation issue on Spectrum-1.
      - A number of issues in in-service-upgrade.
      
      The following new features are now available:
      
      - Support for setting router interface MAC addresses with more than one
        common prefix (up from one common prefix previously).
      - Support for efficient bulk update of FDB entries from VXLAN encapsulation
        to local forwarding and back.
      - Support for 9 fixed + 7 hashed bits of VXLAN UDP source port value (up
        from 8+8).
      - Support for placing timestamp over a source MAC field to permit 48-bit
        timestamp (up from 32-bit when placed over FCS).

      (30.2008.2946).
      
      The following issues have been fixed:
      
      - A Spectrum-2 issue where control traffic generated on the switch would not
        egress a front panel port.
      - Minimum shaper would not guarantee the requested bandwidth if the configured
        rate is 100Gbps+.
      - On Spectrum-1, when bulk-updating FDB, a multicast tunnel entry update would
        be corrupted, and a unicast entry would not change VID.
      - When ECMP or LAG are in symmetric hash mode, a packet would be steered to the
        wrong port.
      - Obtaining activity for MC routes would sometimes exhibit a latency of >1us
        on Spectrum-3.
      
      The following new features are available:
      
      - Elephant & mice flow detection
      - Register PMTDB, for querying of possible split-port scenarios
      - Router interface profiles, which relax the requirement that all router
        interfaces have the same MAC address prefix.

        on a congested port.
      - Attempts to configure DSCP prioritization (QPDM register) on CPU
