Software Fixes

Release F.02.04 (Beta Release Only)

The switch's CDP packets have been modified to better interoperate with older Cisco IOS versions. Certain legal CDP packets sent from the ProCurve switch could result in Cisco routers, running older IOS versions, to crash.

Note

The ProCurve switch's CDP packets are legal both before and after this modification.

Fixed in release F.02.04:

Buffer Leak — A message buffer leak occurs when the switch receives a TACACS+ 'DISC' character.

CDP — The switch sends the wrong MAC address for itself in CDP packets.

Console/TELNET — The switch console may hang, or TELNET session may become inaccessible, if either of the following conditions occur:

While using TELNET, if the inactivity timer ends the session, subsequent attempts to re- establish the TELNET session may result in the user's login failing at the login prompt.

If a console session is ended due to inactivity timer expiration, the user is not able to establish another console session.

Continuous Reboot — The switch continuously reboots upon downloading a configuration file containing a IP configuration (from DHCP or BootP).

Crash — The switch may crash with a message similar to:-> Software exception at infTrunks.c:264 in 'mAdMgrCtrl'.This crash may occur if both the following conditions exist:All ports of a dynamic trunk are off-line (for example, disconnected); andThe trunk is a member of the default VLAN.

Crash — At very high levels of traffic, the switch may crash with a message similar to:

-> Software exception at xcvr_util.c:1387 -- in 'mPmSlvCtrl'

DHCP — The DHCP address of the TimeP Server is not displayed in the output of the show ip CLI command or in the IP configuration menu screen.

IGMP — If there are several IGMP groups in several VLANs, the switch may delete IGMP multicast groups from its table, resulting in flooded multicasts.
