3Com 5000, 6000 4. Upgrading Software

3Com Router 5000 and Router 6000 Family Release Notes v2.41 • Page 16

• The router cannot detect when its own E&M, FXO/FXS, or E1 CAS E&M connections are

down. Therefore, if a voice entity using one of these interfaces is routing calls, and the

interface goes down, the router will not check for a voice entity with equivalent match

criteria to use. The router will continue to attempt to send calls through the down interface.

• CLI doesn’t support pre-defined ringing tones for the following countries: Colombia, EU,

Egypt, Dubai, South Africa, and Australia.

• Bridging over Frame Relay is not listed as being supported in the “Router 5000-6000

Configuration Guide”. Bridging over Frame Relay is supported.

• Spanning Tree is listed as not supported in “Router 5000-6000 Configuration Guide”.

Spanning Tree is supported.

• DVPN service is not enabled by default as stated in the user documentation. The user must

enable it if needed.

• Firewall ASPF UDP detection does not support the following UDP based applications: TFTP,

SSH, DHCP

• Ike peer-name does not seem to work as documented in the NAT-Traversal Example; In

order to get name authentication to work, both sides must have id-type name configured.

Both sides must have remote-names configured, and one side must have remote-ip

configured (the initiator).

• The documentation incorrectly states that a VLAN port link type can be set to access, hybrid,

or trunk. The Router 5000 and Router 6000 can only create trunk-type links by default, and

the type cannot be changed.
