PCR: 02568 Module: CORE Network affecting: No

The ENABLE SYSTEM SECURITY_MODE command was enabling the system security mode, but after the switch was restarted the system security mode was disabled again. Also, when NVS was re-initialised because, for example a battery had been exhausted, the system could not make an SNMP trap. These issues have been resolved.

PCR: 02576 Module: SWI Network affecting: No

When the DISABLE SWITCH PORT FLOW=PAUSE command was executed on a port or ports, they would still appear to be enabled at a higher level. This issue has been resolved.

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

PCR: 02575 Module: SWI Network affecting: No

VLAN tagged multicast packets were incorrectly being sent over untagged

VLAN interfaces. This issue has been resolved.

PCR: 02574 Module: DVMRP Network affecting: No

Some change actions, and the resending of prune messages were not operating correctly. This issue has been resolved.

PCR: 02582 Module: SWI Network affecting: No

Pause flow control is now disabled by default on all ports. This improves performance of the switch when it is congested.
