Patch SB244-03 For SwitchBlade 4000 Series Switches and AT-9800 Series Switches

7

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.

PCR: 02401

Module: IPV6

Network affecting: No

Neighbour discovery and PIM6 caused a fatal error when IPv6 was not enabled, or when the IPv6 feature license was not present. This issue has been resolved.

PCR: 02406

Module: IPV6

Network affecting: No

A Router-Alert option has been added. Also, the SHOW IPV6 MLD

INTERFACE command now works correctly.

PCR: 02407

Module: IPG

Network affecting: No

ICMP was sending too many messages back as responses to fragmented packets. This issue has been resolved.

PCR: 02409

Module: IPG

Network affecting: No

A warning now appears when the DELETE IP INTERFACE command is executed before the DELETE DVMRP INTERFACE command.

PCR: 02410

Module: VRRP

Network affecting: No

VRRP pre-empt mode was not working with advertisement updates of 1 second or more because this did not allow for interface start time on startup. Now a check is made to verify that interfaces are UP before timers are started.

PCR: 02413

Module: IPG, IPX2

Network affecting: No

Static IP ARP entries could not be added to hardware at boot time. Also, an IPX circuit could not be deleted from hardware. These issues have been resolved.

PCR: 02416

Module: DVMRP, IPG

Network affecting: No

Multicasting forwarding was not working correctly. This issue has been resolved.

PCR: 02417

Module: VLAN, IPG

Network affecting: No

The IGMP port list was not updating correctly when a port went down. This issue has been resolved.

PCR: 02418

Module: IPV6

Network affecting: No

ICMPv6 was returning an error for non-zero fragment offsets. This issue has been resolved.
