Allied Telesis 86251-08 manual PCR Module FIREWALL, IPG Level, PCR 03584 Module MLD Level

Patch 86251-08 For Rapier Series Switches 19

PCR: 03569 Module: FIREWALL Level: 3

A problem existed in a configuration with a single policy involving one private interface and two On Demand PPP public interfaces with NAT acting on traffic from the private to each of the public interfaces. Traffic generated on the device (e.g. pings) that was routed out one of the public interfaces sometimes caused both PPP interfaces to activate. This occurred if the NAT relating to the correct PPP was configured first. This behaviour was partially fixed in PCR 02250. This issue has been resolved so that only one PPP interface is activated and NAT is used correctly.

PCR: 03571 Module: IPG Level: 3

The Proxy Arp default setting should be OFF for VLAN interfaces. This issue has been resolved.

PCR: 03572 Module: STP Level: 4

The dot1dStpPortForwardTransitions value in the dot1dBridge MIB was not correctly incremented when STP transitioned a port to the forwarding state. This issue has been resolved.

PCR: 03573 Module: IPG Level: 2

It is now possible to configure an IP filter with the default route of 0.0.0.0.

This allows BGP to control the default route for route distribution.

PCR: 03574 Module: STP Level: 4

The dot1dStpInfoTopChanges value in the dot1dBridge MIB was not correctly incremented when a topology change was detected by the bridge. This issue has been resolved.

PCR: 03576 Module: IPG Level: 2

When the device received a route from two separate sources to the same destination network, RIP only used the metric value when selecting the best route. RIP now selects the route by lowest preference value, or if they are the same, by the metric.

PCR: 03582 Module: FIREWALL, IPG Level: 4

Previously, when the ADD FIREWALL POLICY INTERFACE command activated software routing, the static IP ARP entries were removed automatically. Static IP ARP entries now remain and the following message is displayed:

WARNING: Static ARPs associated with a particular VLAN are recommended to be deleted when Firewall is enabled on the VLAN.

PCR: 03584 Module: MLD Level: 3

MLD had no mechanism for dealing with an IPv6 interface changing its local link address. This issue has been resolved.

PCR: 03594 Module: PING Level: 2

IPv6 ping or traceroute sometimes caused the device to restart. This issue has been resolved.
