Patch 86261-04 For Rapier and AT-8800 Series Switches

PCR: 31154

Module: STP

Level: 4

The current implementation of RSTP conforms to the IEEE standard 802.1w-2001. However, several minor deviations from the standard are possible without having a functional impact on the behaviour of RSTP. These changes are useful for debugging RSTP, and tidy up aspects of RSTP that sometimes have no purpose. The following three variations have been implemented:

The Learning and Forwarding flags are set in BPDUs to indicate the state of the Port State Transition state machine.

The Agreement flag is set in BPDUs only when a Root Port is explicitly agreeing to a proposal from a designated port. Do not set the Agreement flag in BPDUs transmitted by Designated Ports.

The Proposal flag is not set in a BPDU sent by a designated port once the port has reached the forwarding state.

PCR: 31158

Module: CORE

Level: 3

On AT-8800 series switches, when the fan status changed, the device did not send a SNMP trap and log. When the temperature was above the allowable threshold, the device sent the wrong SNMP trap. This issue has been resolved. Also, the temperature thresholds of the AT-8824 and AT-8848 have been set to different values of 62º C and 67º C respectively.

PCR: 31159 Module: FW, VLAN

Level: 2

Static ARP entries sometimes prevented the firewall from working correctly. This is because when an VLAN interface is added to the firewall, the CPU takes over the routing from the switch silicon in order to inspect the packet. Hence all the Layer 3 route entries must be deleted. However, static ARP Layer 3 entries were not being deleted from the silicon. This issue has been resolved. When interface is added to the firewall, all hardware layer 3 routing is now turned off to allow the firewall to inspect packets.

PCR: 31161 Module: LOG

Level: 3

If the number of messages to be stored in the TEMPORARY log output was changed with the SET LOG OUTPUT MESSAGE command, the SHOW LOG command output did not return any matching log messages. This issue has been resolved. Existing messages are now displayed.

PCR: 31162

Module: SWI

Level: 2

A STP topology change incorrectly deleted static ARP entries. This issue has been resolved.

PCR: 31167

Module: IPG

Level: 2

IP MVR member ports were not timing out. MVR member ports now timeout in the same way as IP IGMP ports. The timeout values are configured by IGMP. Also, IGMP interfaces were incorrectly being enabled and disabled by MVR. This issue has been resolved.

PCR: 31170

Module: SWI

Level: 2

After an AT-8800 series switch was powered down or rebooted, non-auto negotiating copper GBICs were not handled correctly. This issue has been resolved.
