Patch 86222-21 For Rapier Switches and AR800 Series Modular Switching Routers

21

PCR: 01206

Module: ISAKMP

Network affecting: No

A memory loss occurred when certificates were used by ISAKMP. This issue has been resolved.

PCR: 01207

Module: ISAKMP

Network affecting: No

ISAKMP heartbeats are no longer transmitted if the lower layer interface is down. This stops ISAKMP heartbeats from bringing up links in dial-up environments.

PCR: 01209

Module: ISAKMP

Network affecting: No

In some conditions it was possible for ISAKMP packets to be lost and not retransmitted. Incoming ISAKMP messages are now validated before stopping retransmission of the previous message.

PCR: 01211

Module: SWI

Network affecting: No

The COS_DST bit on ARL for L3 interface should be 0x4 (higher priority) for

CPU ports. This has been corrected.

PCR: 01213

Module: TRG, SNMP

Network affecting: No

The Trigger Facility was generating a trap with variable { 0 0 }, and was not documented in the ATI enterprise MIB. This issue has been resolved. The MIB object triggerLastTriggerActivated ({ enterprises(1) alliedTelesyn(207) mibObjects(8) brouterMib(4) atrouter(4) modules(4) trigger(53) 1 }) has been defined, to record the trigger number of the last trigger activated, and this variable is now transmitted in the trigger activation trap triggerTrap.

PCR: 01214

Module: SWI

Network affecting: No

In a Rapier G6, fitted with a fibre uplink module with all ports active, switching traffic between port 1 and the uplink caused the traffic flow to cease after a period of time depending on the volume of traffic. This issue has been resolved.

PCR: 01216

Module: STP

Network affecting: No

The Rapier did not include the message age of the received BDPU message in the message age of the BDPU it transmitted. Also, the message age of the message transmitted BDPU could be less than that of the received BDPU, which contravenes IEEE 802.3d. This issue has been resolved.

PCR: 01219

Module: VLAN,SWI

Network affecting: No

Reception of incorrectly tagged packets was causing corruption of the ARL table, eventually causing the switch to lock up. This issue has been resolved. Tagged packets with invalid VLAN identifiers are now discarded. The INFILTERING parameter of the SET SWITCH PORT command now defaults to ON.

PCR: 01221

Module: SWI

Network affecting: No

Flow control performance has been improved.

 

PCR: 01225

Module: IPSEC

Network affecting: No

The IPsec SA ID now wraps correctly at the 16 bit (ID = 65535) boundary.

The ID is also checked to verify that it is free before it is used.
