Patch 86222-12 includes all issues resolved and enhancements released in previous patches for Software Release 2.2.2, and the following enhancements:

PCR: 01223

Module: IPG

Network affecting: No

If route filters existed and a RESET IP command was executed, some static and interface routes were incorrectly removed if the filters matched. This issue has been resolved.

PCR: 01257 Module: DHCP

Network affecting: No

DHCP occasionally caused a fatal error. Also, while an address was in the reclaiming list, a DHCPDISCOVERY message requesting the address made the address disappear. These issues have been resolved.

PCR: 01261

Module: IPG/VRRP

Network affecting: No

A fatal error occurred when forwarding IP packets with VRRP enabled. This issue has been resolved.

PCR: 01263

Module: FIREWALL

Network affecting: No

The firewall TCP timeout values for sessions in the CLOSED and TIMEWAIT states have been reduced. This only applies to the stateful inspection of firewall sessions and not to the TCP module.

PCR: 01268

Module: SWI

Network affecting: No

When a Rapier was under heavy load from software routing (e.g. after a reboot and before the routing tables were refreshed), OSPF could take a long time to converge. This patch gives OSPF packets higher priority to expedite OSPF convergence.

PCR: 01269

Module: SWI

Network affecting: No

A new feature permits hardware filtering by the Rapier family based on the

Ethernet frame type. The TYPE parameter:

TYPE={802ETHIISNAP}

has been added to the following commands:

ADD SWITCH L3FILTER ENTRY

ADD SWITCH L3FILTER MATCH

SET SWITCH L3FILTER ENTRY

SET SWITCH L3FILTER MATCH

SHOW SWITCH L3FILTER
