4Patch Release Note

PCR: 02122

Module: FIREWALL

Network affecting: No

A fatal error sometimes occurred if a TCP session originating on the public side of the firewall sent packets before the session was established with the host on the private side of the firewall. This issue has been resolved.

PCR: 02128

Module: FIREWALL

Network affecting: No

Some FTP packets handled by the firewall were forwarded with incorrect sequence numbers, causing FTP sessions to fail. This issue has been resolved.

PCR: 02150

Module: CORE, SNMP

Network affecting: No

When passing 64-bit counters in an SNMP packet, only the lower 32 bits were passed. Now the full 64 bits of the counter will be returned if all are required.

PCR: 02158

Module: FIREWALL

Network affecting: No

When a TCP RST/ACK was received by a firewall interface, the packet that was passed to the other side of the firewall lost the ACK flag, and had an incorrect ACK number. This issue has been resolved.

PCR 02161

Module: IPG

Network affecting: No

The IP Filter SIZE parameter was not being applied correctly. This issue has been resolved.

PCR 02162

Module: IPG

Network affecting: No

The SET IP FILTER command would not update the SIZE parameter correctly. This issue has been resolved.

PCR 02172

Module: IPG

Network affecting: No

The TOS field in IP packets was not being processed by IP POLICY filters with an identifier greater than 7. This issue has been resolved.

PCR: 02174

Module: FIREWALL

Network affecting: No

A feature has been added that makes pings pass from the source IP address of the public interface to the IP address on the private interface in the firewall.

PCR: 02195

Module: SWI

Network affecting: No

If a port on a Rapier 48 or Rapier 48 i went down, some associated entries were not promptly removed from the forwarding, Layer 3 and default IP tables. This issue has been resolved.

PCR: 02198 Module: DHCP

Network affecting: Yes

This PCR includes the following enhancements:

A new command, SET DHCP EXTENDID allows for multiple DHCP clients, and handling of arbitrary client IDs on the server.

Static DHCP entries now return to the correct state when timing out.

DHCP entry hashes now have memory protection to prevent fatal errors.

DHCP client now retransmits XID correctly.
