checksums on the PIM headers only. Enterprise OS devices, when acting as RPs,

 

are capable of accepting register checksums in both formats. In the scenario

 

where Cisco IOS devices are the RPs and Enterprise OS devices act as sender

 

designated routers (DRs), a super user command 'SU PIM RegCksum FullPayload'

 

is required on the Enterprise OS devices.

PM-SM Not Supported

Currently PIM-SM is not supported over non-broadcast, multiaccess (NBMA)

Over NBMA Media

datalink media. Such media include IP-IP Point-to-Multipoint (P2MP) tunnels and

 

Frame Relay configured on parent ports.

RouteDiscovery

If RouteDiscovery is enabled on all protocols (-SR RouteDiscovery = All), in the

 

maximum packet forwarding rate drops significantly during route discovery. 3Com

 

recommends that you enable RouteDiscovery only for the protocols you use.

 

Increasing the value of the -SR HoldTime parameter minimizes the drop in

 

forwarding rate for these protocols.

VRRP Configuration

VRRP cannot coexist with DECnet, LAA, OSI, or IPv6.

ASCII Boot

When using the ASCII Boot feature on a NETBuilder II bridge/router with intelligent

 

I/O modules or a PathBuilder S5xx series switch, configuration commands that

 

apply to the physical ports on the intelligent I/O modules or to the physical ports

 

on the PathBuilder may not get configured correctly if they are the first commands

 

executed in the boot.cfg file. There is a small timing window where the

 

commands affecting the physical ports will not execute successfully because the

 

software drivers have not finished initializing the ports.

 

This problem can be avoided by either including a PAuse command at the

 

beginning of the boot.cfg file to delay the execution of the first configuration

 

command by a few seconds or by putting the configuration commands that do

 

not apply to the physical ports at the beginning of the boot.cfg file. The intelligent

 

I/O modules on the NETBuilder II bridge/router are the HSS 4-Port WAN Module,

 

the MP ATMLink Module, the MP Ethernet 6-Port 10BASE-FL Module, and the HSS

 

8-Port BRI Module. Support for the PAuse command by the ASCII Boot feature

 

(and LoadConfigs) is new with the Enterprise OS software version 11.4.

Boot Cycle

If the OfficeConnect bridge/router fails to complete the boot cycle and enters a

Continuous Loop

boot cycle loop (for example, if the boot image is corrupted), press the ESC key to

 

interrupt the boot cycle and enter monitor mode.

BootP Server and

To use the Enterprise OS software version 11.4 Autostartup feature, you must

Autostartup

upgrade the remote node, the central site, and if you are using the 3Com BootP

 

server, you must upgrade that as well. Autostartup supports a non-3Com BootP

 

server if the remote node is identified by its MAC address.

Bootptab File

The 3Com BOOTP Server for Windows does not read the bootptab file for any

 

date greater than 2000. The problem resides in Microsoft's system libraries. A

 

patch can be downloaded from Microsoft. This patch can be found at the
