Allied Telesis 86251-08 manual PCR Module FILE, INSTALL, SCR Level, PCR Module Install Level

10 Patch Release Note

PCR: 03778 Module: FILE, INSTALL, SCR Level: 2

Files used during start up were backed up from NVS to FLASH even if they were already present in FLASH. This used up FLASH memory unnecessarily. This issue has been resolved so that files are only backed up when a copy does not already exist in FLASH.

PCR: 03780 Module: INSTALL Level: 3

If a configuration file had a long file name, the SHOW CONFIG command displayed the file name using the shortened DOS 8.3 format (where file names are 8 characters long, with extensions of 3 characters). This issue has been resolved so that long configuration file names are now displayed using the DOS 16.3 format (where file names are up to 16 characters long).

PCR: 03783 Module: IPG Level: 3

The TIMEOUT and SIZE parameters are only valid for the SET IP DNS CACHE command, but no error message was returned if either parameter was specified for the SET IP DNS command. This issue has been resolved.

PCR: 03784 Module: IPV6 Level: 3

Fragmentation of IPv6 packets now complies with RFC 2460’s requirement to align packet sizes to 8 octets.

PCR: 03789 Module: ETH Level: 2

When a 4-port ETH PIC card was installed, the output of the SHOW IP INTERFACE command showed the ETH port as Down, but the link LEDs on the card were lit. This issue has been resolved. The SHOW command now shows the correct link status. The link will go down after 90 seconds if no inbound traffic is received. When inbound traffic is received the link will come up.

PCR: 03796 Module: STP Level: 2

Setting RSTPTYPE to NORMAL, when normal has already been set, sets all ports to the “sending RSTP” state process. This is referred to in IEEE 802.1w as mCheck.

When RSTPTYPE was changed from STPCOMPATIBLE to NORMAL with the SET STP command, the STP instance continued to send STP BPDUs until an mCheck was performed by entering the SET STP RSTPTYPE=NORMAL command again. This issue has been resolved so that when RSTPTYPE is set to NORMAL an mCheck is performed, causing the STP to start sending RSTP BPDUs immediately.

PCR: 03801 Module: MLDS Level: 2

MLD and MLD Snooping accepted MLD Query packets with a hop limit greater than 1. Duplicate packets were forwarded when the hop limit was not 1 and the payload was 0::0. This issue has been resolved. MLD and MLD Snooping now require the hop limit to be 1.

PCR: 03802 Module: FIREWALL Level: 1

Packets with bad ACK numbers were sometimes generated by the firewall as part of the proxy TCP setup process. These packets sometimes caused TCP sessions from the public side of the firewall to fail. This issue has been resolved.
