Patch SB251-08 includes all issues resolved and enhancements released in previous patches for Software Release 2.5.1, and the following enhancements:

PCR: 03251

Module: SWI

Level: 2

A fatal error occurred when the ADD SWITCH TRUNK command specified an invalid port. This issue has been resolved.

PCR: 03414

Module: SWI

Level: 2

A fatal error occurred when removing a line card from a SwitchBlade if STP was enabled. This issue has been resolved.

PCR: 03466

Module: SWI

Level: 2

System performance was low when adding large numbers of entries to CAM. This issue has been resolved. CAM is now initialised to allow better performance, especially for the addition of ARP and IP entries.

PCR: 03470

Module: SWI

Level: 2

The DELETE SWITCH TRUNK PORT command could cause an unrelated port to stop forwarding packets, or learn new MAC addresses. This issue has been resolved so that unrelated ports are not affected by the trunk group port deletion.

PCR: 03509

Module: SWI

Level: 2

All IP routes were being added to all switch instances. This caused issues on SwitchBlade line cards that did not have enough CAM to store the routes, and the line card did not always need every route. IP routes are now only added:

to a switch instance if the route was learned on that instance

if the route is for an interface

if the route was added statically, or

if the switch instance has a CAM which is the same size or larger than the CAM of the switch instance that the route was learned on.

PCR: 03518

Module: SWI

Level: 3

An issue exists where the CAM entry 0 in the VLAN Tag table is either not updated or is being overwritten with invalid data. This PCR adds debugging to trace the fault.
