Patch 89262-08 For AT-8900 Series Switches

15

PCR: 40463

Module: IPG

Level: 2

Under the IPv6 multipath environment, e.g. when both a static route and a RIPng route were available, if the static route was disconnected, the switch used the CPU to transmit outgoing packets on the RIPng Route, i.e using software routing. This issue has been resolved.

PCR: 40509 Module: SWMX

Level: 3

NetBios responses to NetBeui packets were not being classified by a protocol based VLAN. This was because both are represented by 0xF0, but in the packet NetBios is 0xF0F1 and NetBeui is 0xF0F0. Now, when adding a VLAN classification rule for NetBeui (0xF0), two classification rules are added to the hardware. One for NetBeui (0xF0F0), and one for NetBios(0xF0F1).

Patch 89262-05 includes all issues resolved and enhancements released in previous patches for Software Release 2.6.2, and the following enhancements:

PCR: 40304

Module: IPv6

Level: 2

Occasionally a fatal error might be observed when the switch was removing IPv6 multicast downstream interfaces (for example, when downstream clients left a multicast group). This issue has been resolved.

PCR: 40371 Module: VLAN

Level: 2

If the switch was configured with nested VLANs, and a command was entered to disable the nested VLAN feature, then a fatal error was observed as the switch removed the configured nested VLANs. This issue has been resolved.

PCR: 40397

Module: IPv6

Level: 2

A fatal error was observed after entering the command restart reboot or restart switch, when there were 1000 IPv6 interfaces configured on the device with all links up. This issue has been resolved.

PCR: 40409 Module: SWNP

Level: 2

A Watchdog fatal error was observed when many (e.g. >1000) IPv6 interfaces configured on the device join a multicast group all at once. This issue has been resolved.
