when the MAC disparity feature was disabled. The MAC disparity feature is

disabled by default.

The issue has been resolved. The router now discards such ARP entries unless the

MAC disparity feature has been enabled by using the command enable ip

macdisparity.

ICMP messages that specified the wrong source IP address. This meant that the

response to traceroute could be incorrect.

multicast routes that were created as the result of receiving a large amount of

data from more than 500 multicast groups.

This issue has been resolved. Users can now overwrite dynamic Neighbour

Discovery cache entries with static entries.

are very unusual, but the code has been made more robust to cope with them.
