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

9

PCR 02181

Module: LOAD

Network affecting: No

When a file upload was interrupted, the file being uploaded was not unlocked. The file could not be deleted without restarting the router. This issue has been resolved.

PCR 02186

Module: IPG

Network affecting: No

RIP was incorrectly sending triggered request packets over VLANs, even on non-demand links. This issue has been resolved.

PCR 02188

Module: VRRP

Network affecting: No

When VRRP responded to an ARP request for the VR IP address it was not making an entry in the ARP table and the switch L3 table. This issue has been resolved.

Patch 86222-18 includes all issues resolved and enhancements released in previous patches for Software Release 2.2.2, and the following enhancements:

PCR: 02041

Module: SWI

Network affecting: No

In some situations, the switch would stop forwarding packets via internal and/or external uplink ports. This issue has been resolved.

PCR: 02073

Module: FILE

Network affecting: No

If a flash write error occurred when a file was being written, the file’s directory entry was deleted leaving a partial file in flash. Subsequent attempts to write the file failed because a file of the same name already existed. This issue has been resolved.

PCR: 02075

Module: OSPF, IPG

Network affecting: No

In configurations containing a large number of OSPF routes, the SPF calculation could take a long time. During this calculation, other events would not be processed. This patch reduces the time required for an SPF calculation and allows the switch to respond to other events in the mean time. This patch also improves the performance of flow cache updates.
