Hi Alex,

Thanks for investigating this. I took your suggestion to do a 
"tna-install-latest" but I appear to be hitting an SSL issue. I noticed in 
the archive there was talk of OpenSSL3 but I could not follow the thread. Any 
suggestions?

This is not related to the gearbox. It's a side-effect of probing for 
existing ports when the bf_forwarder starts up (the SDE currently doesn't 
support iterating over the elements of the $PORT_HDL_INFO table so we just 
query a range of ports and check for existing entries; hitting a non-existent 
entry generates these log messages).

This is the Marvell gearbox software that includes a kind of shell that 
attaches to the serial port and interfers with the console login. It's part 
of the "SAL" (Switch Abstraction Layer") that also launches bf_switchd on the 
BF2556. In fact, APS has released new versions of the BSP and the SAL (still 
based on SDE 9.7) that fixes this issue (among other things). I have switched 
to those versions two days ago 
(https://bitbucket.software.geant.org/projects/RARE/repos/rare-nix/commits/c157e9123d611905586ccee2601c48b9fe1e072b).
 You can upgrade to that version of RARE with "tna-install-latest". That will 
also move freertr to v22.8.27 (commit 5f077157). As usual, you can install 
the newest freertr version with "tna-install-experimental".

Caveat: I didn't do much testing with the new BSP but it appears to work ok. 
However, you should avoid the "tmp_show", "vrail_show" and "fan_show" 
commands in the bf_pltfm.chss_mgmt UCLI context. They all crash bf_switchd 
(this won't be fixed by APS as they are now working on the BSP for 9.9.1)
