5406zl (J8697A) port loses VLAN membership

I have a 5604zl switch, where I have tagged some vlans on port A6 (uplink to 2824 switch) the config look like this:

vlan 1
   name "DEFAULT_VLAN"
   untagged A1-A3,A6-A7,A17-A19,B2,B8-B12,B17-B18,C7-C24,Trk1-Trk4

A6 is untagged in default vlan (native) and tagged in the other vlans. The port on the 2824 switch is also tagged with the other vlans, and untagged in default vlan..

And when I connect the two switches its working, i can access the tagged vlans on both switches and off couse the native default vlan.

But suddently after about 1 hour of uptime the port A6 on the 5406 seems to lose its VLAN membership, and all servers connected to the 2824 switch is lost.

The 5406 is running with software:  K.13.63, and I have found the fix in a newer software release to the switch:

VRP (PR_0000040238)— After a dynamically-learned VLAN is converted to a static port-based VLAN, and an
interface is made a static member of that VLAN, disabling GVRP causes the port to lose the VLAN membership. The
running-config, startup-config and the SNMP egress static member list for the VLAN show the port as member of the
VLAN. All other data shows the port is no longer a member of the VLAN. VLAN communication over the affected
interface is no longer possible until the one of the two following workarounds is executed. Workarounds: Either reissue
the tag and untag commands for VLAN port assignment or reload the system.

Is it correct that the port is loosing its VLAN membership because of a software error?

I've another 5406 switch with software  K.14.84 and here i dont have this problem. I just wan't your experts to confirm my assumption.

Its critical when the port loses VLAN membership and i looses connection to 24 servers in the 2824 switch :-)

This problem seems to affect only VLANs that were learned from GVRP then converted to static. Did you have GVRP enabled?

apparently not.

But the other 5406 switch I have (where the uplink is connected right now) does not looses the ports vlan membership, and the only difference I can see on thoose two switches is the software version.

I have tried to change the uplink to the other 5406 switch the last two nights at arround 12pm. And in the past two nights the port has losts its VLAN membership 2pm...

If pretty tired of getting waked in the middel of the night because of this failure, do you have any other suggention if its not the software version??

Best regards, Steffen

And as said before this uplink change is working for two hours and then fail, causes lost connection to all devices connected to the 2824 switch...
Strange that its working for two hours before its going down. The only differnce between the CORE1 and CORE2 switch is the software version.
Im still looking through your configs, but regardless you should update your firmware, considering there is no firmware cost.
It would be interesting to see your hole config. Everything looks alright, however a mismatched trunk configuration could cause this problem.

So far, I'd assume it is a bug and upgrade version would fix it.
Config attached to this comment, and thank you for your help so far.
 I'll try to update the firmware at arround 1am to night. Right now the time is 10:32pm in Denmark where I am.. :)

I'm not truking on the A6 (uplink to the 2824 switch) I'm only taging VLANs on that port..

Don't see that i'm missing vlan 48 :-)

There is no loop between the 2824 switches, and in log i can see that STP is not blocking the port its was the first thing i checked :)

The Update of the CORE2 swtich went fine - I'll try to night to change the uplink from CORE1 to the CORE2 switch again ...

Further follow.......
After the update the port does not loses its vlan tags anymore, and it has worked for more than 24 hours now :-)

Wired bug.. :-)
Hello Steffan, thanks for the points but it seems that you had it figured out all by yourself. I don't know if you can now, but feel free to close the question without awarding points.
