Patch SB244-01 includes the following enhancements:

PCR: 01285

Module: OSPF

Network affecting: No

When an interface went down (or was disabled) on an AS border router, the external routes were not removed from the routing domain. Such routes are now removed by premature aging.

PCR: 02353

Module: SWI

Network affecting: No

The learning unit was locking under heavy load. This could result in pings to a network device failing, and over an hour all dynamic MAC addresses could be lost. Sometimes a large number of pause frames were generated by the system. This issue has been resolved.

PCR: 02359

Module: IPG

Network affecting: No

When an IP Multihomed interface was used as an OSPF interface, neighbour relationships were only established if the IP interface for OSPF was added first in the configuration. Now, OSPF establishes neighbour relationships regardless of the IP Multihomed interface configuration order.

PCR: 02361

Module: SWI

Network affecting: No

The SwitchBlade mirror port field on the second instance of a switch chip was displaying as though it was the first instance. This issue has been resolved.

PCR: 02394 Module: IPG, SWI, DVMRP

Network affecting: No

The following issues have been resolved:

•IP route updating was not working correctly

•IGMP snooping behaviour was incorrect

•The SHOW DVMRP FORWARDING command displayed incorrect port numbers.

PCR: 02396 Module: DHCP

Network affecting: No

DHCP RENEW request messages are now unicast (as defined in the RFC), not broadcast.

PCR: 02397 Module: DVMRP

Network affecting: No

After a prune lifetime had expired, the interface was not joined back to the

DVMRP multicast delivery tree. This issue has been resolved.
