      <pre wrap="">Hi,

I recently discovered the following :

When trying to set "Ignore" status on switches with large number of ports (eg. force10 e1200 or c300 chassis), the setting doesn't get saved for some of the ports.

More specific, at the end of the list. 

This is what I did : 
Toggle all -&gt; removed the toggle from the mgmt interface -&gt; then save

What happens:
Most ports get "ignored" status, part of them don't

After getting the status, they again have a 'not-ignored-status' (checkbox not checked). If I check them again &amp; press save -&gt; same issue.

Seems like the checkboxes only get processed to a certain number of items ?

Does this sound familiar ?

Thanks in advance,

Maarten De Wispelaere
