LC PoE Units Upgraded to Ubuntu 18.04 Will Report Link Status Incorrectly on Some of the PoE Ports.

Symptom:

LC units with the Pegatron H-81 motherboard, (8) PoE Ports, and Ubuntu 18.04 operating system (O/S) will report the link status incorrectly on (4) of the PoE Ports. These systems were shipped with either Ubuntu 14.04 or 16.04. Therefore, this would only become an issue if the unit O/S is upgraded to version 18.04. ONLY 8-port PoE systems are affected. 16-port PoE systems are NOT affected. This does not impact network I/O on any of the PoE ports, so cameras will continue to work normally.

Actual Port Reported by Port
1 1
2 4
3 3
4 7
5 2
6 6
7 5
8 8

Cause:

This is an issue with communication between the Ubuntu 18.04 O/S kernel and the Pegatron H-81 motherboard BIOS.

Solution:

The behavior is purely cosmetic and DOES NOT impact the actual performance of the LC PoE ports themselves. Presently, there is no correction available.
