Features in 86261-04

Patch 86261-04 includes all issues resolved and enhancements released in previous patches for Software Release 2.6.1, and the following enhancements:

PCR: 03910

Module: IPG

Level: 3

When RIP demand mode was enabled, and one interface changed to a reachable state, the triggered Request packet was not sent from that interface, and triggered Response packets were not sent from all other RIP interfaces. This resulted in slow convergence of routing tables across the network. This issue has been resolved.

PCR: 03927

Module: BRI

Support has been added for the AT-AR021 (S) BRI-S/T PIC (Port Interface

Card) with basic rate ISDN.

PCR: 03967

Module: IPG

Level: 2

RIP did not send the correct next hop address if the route originated from a different subnet to that of the egress interface. This issue has been resolved.

PCR: 03970

Module: IPV6

Level: 3

If an IPv6 filter that blocked traffic on a VLAN interface was removed, the traffic was still blocked. This issue has been resolved.

PCR: 03978

Module: OSPF

Level: 3

Occasionally an error occurred with OSPF’s route table calculation, so all routes in the network were not discovered. The error only happened with a network topology that involved connections between routers via both a Point to Point link and a transit network link. This issue has been resolved. A new command has been added that forces a route table recalculation by rerunning the Shortest Path First calculation. The command is:

RESET OSPF SPF [DEBUG]

If DEBUG is specified, debugging information for the route table calculation is output to the port from which the command was executed. SPF debugging can be turned on for every route table calculation using the ENABLE OSPF DEBUG=SPF command, but this will be overridden if DEBUG is specified with the RESET OSPF SPF command.
