CR00013126

ATM

-

Previously, it was not possible to set the MTU for an ATM interface.

 

 

 

This enhancement makes it possible to now do so. The MTU can be set to values

 

 

 

between 256 bytes and 1600 bytes, inclusive.

CR00013130

NAT-T, IPsec

-

This software version supports more versions of IPsec NAT-T. As well as the

 

 

 

existing support for versions 2 and 8 of the NAT-T draft, the router now:

 

 

 

supports NAT-T draft version 3, as defined by draft-ietf-ipsec-nat-t-ike-03.txt.

 

 

 

This version has also been implemented by SonicWALL in its EnhancedOS.

 

 

 

supports RFC 3947. This RFC has also been implemented in Linux’s Openswan,

 

 

 

for example (www.openswan.org).

 

 

 

accepts and sends the IPsec draft version 2 Vendor ID string when the hash

 

 

 

does not include a carrage return. Therefore it accepts and sends a hash of

 

 

 

“draft-ietf-ipsec-nat-t-ike-02” as well as a hash of “draft-ietf-ipsec-nat-t-

 

 

 

ike-02\n”

 

 

 

displays some other Vendor IDs in debugging information even though the

 

 

 

router does not support these versions. Such Vendor IDs are followed by the

 

 

 

phrase “info only”.

CR00013444

IP Gateway

-

RIPv2 can now use authentication passwords that contain almost any printable

 

 

 

character, including characters such as $, % and &. The ? character is interpreted

 

 

 

as asking for parameter help, so this is not usable anywhere inside a password.

 

 

 

Also, a password cannot contain double quotes (") as the first character of the

 

 

 

string.

 

 

 

The RIP password length is now strictly enforced at 16 characters. The command

 

 

 

handler no longer accepts a password with more characters than this.
