Patch Release Note

Features in SB244-01

Patch SB244-01 includes all issues resolved and enhancements released in previous patches for Software Release 2.4.4, and the following enhancement:

PCR: 01285

Module: OSPF

Network affecting: No

When an interface went down (or was disabled) on an AS border router, the external routes were not removed from the routing domain. Such routes are now removed by premature aging.

PCR: 02353

Module: SWI

Network affecting: No

The learning unit was locking under heavy load. This could result in pings to a network device failing, and over an hour all dynamic MAC addresses could be lost. Sometimes a large number of pause frames were generated by the system. This issue has been resolved.

PCR: 02359

Module: IPG

Network affecting: No

When an IP Multihomed interface was used as an OSPF interface, neighbour relationships were only established if the IP interface for OSPF was added first in the configuration. Now, OSPF establishes neighbour relationships regardless of the IP Multihomed interface configuration order.

PCR: 02361

Module: SWI

Network affecting: No

The SwitchBlade mirror port field on the second instance of a switch chip was displaying as though it was the first instance. This issue has been resolved.

PCR: 02394 Module: IPG, SWI, DVMRP

Network affecting: No

The following issues have been resolved:

IP route updating was not working correctly

IGMP snooping behaviour was incorrect

The SHOW DVMRP FORWARDING command displayed incorrect port numbers.

PCR: 02396 Module: DHCP

Network affecting: No

DHCP RENEW request messages are now unicast (as defined in the RFC), not broadcast.

PCR: 02397 Module: DVMRP

Network affecting: No

After a prune lifetime had expired, the interface was not joined back to the

DVMRP multicast delivery tree. This issue has been resolved.

PCR: 02398

Module: IPV6

Network affecting: No

The following issues have been resolved:

It was possible to assign the same network on different IPV6 interfaces

The loopback address was being added to other interfaces

The tunnel configuration was not showing correctly in IPV6 configuration commands

RIPv6 now sets the metric of routes for interfaces that are DOWN to 16, and immediately sends responses when the link status of VLAN interfaces changes.
