4 | Patch Release Note |
CR00007005 Module: PPP | Level: 2 |
A change was made in the 2.6.1 software release to reset the PPP idle timer for received traffic as well as transmitted traffic to avoid a PPP link idling out when receiving unidirectional traffic. However, this has undesirable side effects as it is not possible to control the received traffic. This change has been removed. Users can avoid a PPP link idling out for received unidirectional traffic by setting the value of the IDLE parameter to OFF, or in the case of received multicast traffic, setting the IDLE parameter to a value greater than the multicast hello timer.
CR00007078 Module: PPP | Level: 2 |
When PPP was configured over L2TP over PPPoE, and the firewall was enabled, a restart could occur in some circumstances.
This issue has been resolved.
CR00007291 Module: IPG | Level: 2 |
If RIP was configured to explicitly exchange packets with a neighbour in another subnet, the RIP packets from that neighbour were dropped.
This issue has been resolved.
CR00007341 Module: IPG | Level: 2 |
When routers and switches were using CIDR addressing, with a unicast address coinciding with a network broadcast address of class A, B, or C, then they could incorrectly forward traffic as directed broadcasts, even though the traffic was unicast (only).
This issue has been resolved. (PCR number: 50069)
CR00007436 Module: L2TP | Level: 2 |
When the router was acting as an L2TP Access Concentrator (LAC) it would fail to negotiate a Virtual tunnel to another vendor’s LNS. This was due to invalid Proxy LCP AVPs being used within the ICCN message.
This issue has been resolved. (No PCR number.)
CR00007477 Module: SWMX | Level: 2 |
In some 8924/9924 network configurations deploying QoS and IPMC traffic, the QoS may have periodically
This issue has been resolved.
CR00007493 Module: FIREWALL | Level: 2 |
When the firewall was configured and the firewall ident proxy feature was disabled, or if the firewall was disabled, TCP port 113 was still left open.
This issue has been resolved.
CR00007605 Module: SWMX, PSS | Level: 2 |
QoS was incorrectly misclassifying packets for small periods of time.
This issue has been resolved
