Open Problem Reports and Feature Exceptions

PR 105491

Existing inter-area-prefix and inter-area-router LSAs are not originated into areas that are created after initial convergence of the network on an OS9000. For example, the router is running and it originates a set of inter-area-prefix or inter-area-router LSAs into all known areas. Later, another area is added, the new area will not have any of the inter-area-prefix or inter-area-router LSAs that exist in the other areas prior to the creation of the new area.

Workaround: When adding an area to OSPFv3 after it has been running for a while, it should be globally disabled and then re-enabled using the "ipv6 ospf status disable/enable" command.

PR 105770

Point-to-point interfaces are not supported in OSPFv3 at this time; therefore, 6to4 tunnels cannot be used with OSPFv3.

Workaround: There is no known workaround at this time.

PR 107353

OSPFv3 will leak memory in either of the following two cases on an OS9000: 1) During SPF runs. 2) During adjacency formation.

Workaround: There is no workaround that will eliminate this leak. However, it's effect can be somewhat mitigated by trying to minimize the causal events (namely SPF calculations and new adjacency forma- tions) between reboots.

Problem Reports

PR 102501

Currently, there is no support for an "ip unload" command. This can be a problem for customers who have loaded a DRC loadable module and executed a "write memory" command to update the boot.cfg file. Then decided that they wanted the module permanently removed.

Workaround: To permanently disable a module, execute the module's "disable" command followed by another "write memory" command and a reboot. To also free up any memory possibly used by the disabled module, edit the boot.cfg file using the "vi" command to delete the "ip load <module>" command along with any non-default configuration lines associated with the module.
