3

PCR: 02492

Module: SWI

Network affecting: No

288MB RDRAM was initialised incorrectly, resulting in unpredictable

behaviour. This issue has been resolved.

 

PCR: 02493

Module: DHCP

Network affecting: No

Inuse DHCP entries (that are displayed in the SHOW DHCP CLIENT

command) will now expire and be reclaimed.

 

PCR: 02494

Module: IPv6

Network affecting: No

It was possible to add the same IPv6 prefix to different IPv6 interfaces. This

issue has been resolved.

 

PCR: 02497

Module: PPP

Network affecting: No

The wrong error message was displayed if PPP compression over L2TP was attempted. The correct message is now generated, stating that the CREATE PPP command is invalid.

PCR: 02499 Module: IPGNetwork affecting: No

Some parameters in the SET IP IGMP command had incorrect ranges. This issue has been resolved. The correct ranges are:

SET IP IGMP [LMQI=1..255] [LMQC=1..5] [QUERYINTERVAL=1..65535] [QUERYRESPONSEINTERVAL=1..255] [ROBUSTNESS=1..5] [TIMEOUT=1..65535]

PCR: 02502 Module: Ping, IPv6Network affecting: No

If multiple IPv6 interfaces shared the same link-local address, pings to the link-local address sometimes failed. This issue has been resolved.

PCR: 02503

Module: NVS

Network affecting: No

Loading files to NVS caused a fatal error. This issue has been resolved.

PCR: 02504

Module: SWI

Module: DVMRP

Network affecting: No

The source net mask has been removed from DVMRP prune, graft and

graft-ack messages.

 

PCR: 02511
