added a VLAN tag into the packet, even though the packet was already tagged.

OSPF

An issue occurred when OSPF was configured to create passive interfaces by

default (set ospf passiveinterfacedefault=on) but an OSPF interface was not

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

passive (set ospf interface=interface passive=off). This interface setting was

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

saved in the configuration file or output resulting from the commands create

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

config and show config dynamic, but any other changes to interface settings

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

were not saved (such as changes to authentication settings). If the router or

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

switch rebooted, these other interface changes were lost.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This issue has been resolved.

IPv6

When an IPv6 address was deleted on the router or switch, and that IPv6 address

had previously been learnt by a remote IPv6 node, then the router or switch

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

would reboot if it received an ICMPv6 Neighbour Solicitation message from the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

remote node. This meant, for example, that if you successfully pinged an address

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

on the router or switch, then deleted that address, then attempted to ping the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

old address again, the router or switch would reboot.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This issue has been resolved.

Switch, STP

When STP was enabled on ports in a trunk group, the non-master ports did not

have the same state as the master port in the switch’s hardware STG table. This

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

could, on rare occasions, create a broadcast storm.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This issue has been resolved. All ports in a trunk group follow the master port in

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the hardware STG table.
