Nexus 5K 130 Day Restart Field Notice

I have had several questions arise around the Nexus 5000 field notice #63560 - Nexus 5000 System Restart after 130 days of uptime.  This issue only affects 5K switches that are running the following version of software, AND have the LAN_BASE_SERVICES_PKG license installed:

• 5.1(3)N1(1) 
• 5.1(3)N1(1a) 
• 5.1(3)N2(1) 
• 5.1(3)N2(1a) 

If you purchase an L3 daughter card for the 5K switch, the LAN_BASE_SERVICES_PKG ships with it.  The following L3 features are included with the card/license:

• Static routing 
• RIPv2 
• OSPFv2 
• EIGRP stub
• HSRP 
• VRRP 
• IGMP v2/v3 
• PIMv2 (sparse mode) 
• routed ACL
• uRPF

If you are just using the 5K switch as solely an L2 device, this field notice should not be of concern.
