CR00012654 Switch 1 If an AT-9924SP had a large number of SFPs installed and had a very high level of

traffic passing through the network, sometimes newly inserted SFPs were not

detected.

This issue has been resolved.

--------Y-

CR00012715 DHCP 1 In some configurations in which the DHCP server was enabled, the router or

switch compacted its flash memory frequently. This occurred because the DHCP

server unnecessarily updated record files in flash memory even if the record had

not changed.

This issue has been resolved, so that DHCP records are only updated when

necessary. Note that if the router or switch has NVS memory, it stores DHCP

records in NVS by preference, instead of in flash memory.

members sometimes stayed in the “discarding” state instead.

This issue has been resolved.

CR00013413 IP Gateway,

Load Balancer

1If the router or switch was configured with a local interface IP address and the

interface to which this address belonged did not have a logical interface with

index 0, a number of connectivity issues from this router or switch occurred, in

which the router or switch was not able to communicate with UDP, TCP or PING.

This issue has been resolved.

YYYYYYYYYY

CR00013666 SSL 1 When the router or switch used SSL to process HTTPS traffic, it rebooted.

This issue occurred, for example, when browsing securely to the GUI, or when

the load balancer was configured to support HTTPS traffic.

This issue has been resolved.

CR00009212 Bridge 2 The Bridge cannot be configured to bridge PPPoE packets from an Ethernet

interface that has also been configured as a PPPoE interface. Previously, such a

Bridge configuration would appear to succeed. However the Bridge would not

bridge PPPoE packets and the router would restart when the command reset

bridge was entered.

This issue has been resolved. Note: if you want to bridge PPPoE packets, do not

also configure the router as a PPPoE endpoint (by using the command create

ppp=number over=ethx-any).

YYY- ------

CR00009213 MSTP 2 Because of an MSTP issue, the switch did not always send a BPDU with an

agreement flag to its designated bridge, even if the switch was synchronised with

the latest spanning tree information from the designated bridge. This prevented

the designated port on the designated bridge from making a fast transition to

the forwarding state. The result was that the network could take up to two times

the “forward delay” time to fully converge.

This issue has been resolved.

---YYYYYY-

CR00009826 IP Gateway 2 When a static ARP is deleted, the router or switch sends out an ARP request to

attempt to create a dynamic ARP for that IP address. Previously, the router or

switch did not process the ARP response correctly and therefore did not add the

ARP to its ARP table.

This issue has been resolved. When a static ARP is deleted, the router or switch

attempts to create a dynamic ARP for that IP address, and will successfully add it

to the ARP table if a device responds.

CR00010513 BGP,

IP Gateway

2BGP did not update its route table when a blackhole route changed in IP.

This issue has been resolved.

CR00011434 File 2 The router or switch sometimes rebooted when copying a very large file (several

Mbytes). This issue has been resolved by improving the copy process so that it

uses fewer memory buffers.

YYYYYYYYYY

CR00011670 Switch 2 On x900-48 Series switches, when the switch used a DSCP map to remark

packets, it did not mark the packets correctly.

This issue has been resolved.

-------Y--

CR00012364 IPv6 2 For IPv6, if there were multiple equal cost multipath (ECMP) static routes to a

destination, and one or more links for the routes became inactive, the inactive

route was sometimes still chosen for forwarding. This caused brief data delivery

failure to the destination.

This issue has been resolved.

YYYYY- - YYY

CR00012534 IP Gateway 2 If the router or switch received an IP packet that had been sent as an Ethernet

broadcast, the router or switch responded as if the packet had been sent to its IP

address, even when the packet was destined for a different IP address. In

particular, the router or switch processed and responded to ICMP and TCP

packets that were sent as Ethernet broadcasts to different IP addresses. These

caused the router or switch to send ICMP echo responses or TCP reset packets.

This issue has been resolved. Such Ethernet broadcast packets are generally not

valid packets, so the router or switch now discards them.

CR00012613 Firewall 2 When the WAN load balancer was used with IP NAT (instead of firewall NAT), and

an FTP session was established to a server on the public network, the router did

not correctly establish a return session. This meant data was unable to flow

correctly back from the server, and the router rebooted.

This issue has been resolved.

Note that the WAN load balancer is not designed for use with IP NAT, because IP

NATs are not associated with interfaces. Configurations that use an IP NAT cannot

vary the global IP address (the gblip parameter) based on the outgoing interface,

so the WAN load balancer sends all traffic out with the same source address.

Therefore, the return traffic probably comes back via the WAN load balancer

resource that is associated with the global IP. The impact is that the WAN load

balancer balances the outgoing traffic but not the return traffic.

We recommend using firewall NAT instead of IP NAT with the WAN load balancer.

Y-Y-------

CR00012624 VRRP,

IP Gateway

2Under certain network conditions in which VRRP entities become temporarily

unsynchronised, the router or switch could receive a gratuitous ARP from a self-

elected VRRP master when the router or switch was still the master. This caused

the existing master to create an ARP entry that incorrectly redirected packets

towards the other VRRP entity even after the other entity had become a slave

again.

This issue has been resolved. The router or switch no longer accepts gratuitous

ARPs from other VRRP entities while it is still the Master.

YYYYYYYYYY

CR00012683 Switch 2 After the AR770S rebooted, the Port Link/Activity and Duplex/Collision LEDs

sometimes did not blink in response to activity and collisions, respectively.

This issue has been resolved. The router detects the problem and recovers from

it, if possible. If it cannot recover from the problem, it generates a log message

of severity 6, module SWK, type REST, and subtype FAIL. The log message says

“An LED error has been detected, please power-cycle the device. If this message

appears again, contact your technical support representative for help.”

CR00012697 IPsec, ENCO 2 Decrypting a large IPsec ESP packet sometimes caused the router or switch to

reboot.

This issue has been resolved.

YYYYY-----

CR00012710 Core 2 Soft errors can generate exceptions that would cause the router or switch to

reboot. Soft errors are spontaneous changes in the information stored in a digital

circuit, caused by physical effects. The router or switch’s handling of such errors

has been improved, so that it recovers without rebooting when possible.

--Y-------

CR00012741 Core, File,

Stack

2The command create config=filename set did not copy the configuration file

to all switches in the stack, but only saved the file onto the current switch.

This issue has been resolved.

---YYYYYY-

CR00012757 OSPF 2 The router or switch correctly accepted the command add ospf redistribution

protocol=static followed by the command set ospf asexternal=on or nssa.

However, the command create config did not create a valid configuration file

from these commands. If the router or switch used that configuration after a

reboot, it gave the error “Redistribution for specified routing protocol - already

exists” and did not use the user-defined redistribution definition.

This issue has been resolved. The router or switch now correctly saves and uses

the user-defined redistribution definition.

YYYYYYYYYY

CR00012820 DHCP

Snooping,

Switch

2When the switch had two DHCP snooping classifiers applied across all 48 ports,

and maxleases was set to 10 or more on each port, the switch rebooted.

This issue has been resolved.

-------Y--

CR00012821 IP Gateway 2 When adding, deleting or updating subnet routes of a more general route, the

software and hardware IP route tables sometimes became unsynchronised. The

same issue sometimes also occurred when updating ECMP routes. This could

cause the router or switch to forward packets to unexpected next hops.

This issue has been resolved.

CR00012846 ASYN, Log 2 The following issues occurred with sending log messages to an asynchronous

port:

■The log messages output on an asynchronous port were corrupt.

■When log messages were output to an asynchronous port, that port was

(correctly) locked. However, the port remained locked after the asynchronous

log output definition was destroyed, and after the log output's destination

was changed from asynchronous to something else.

■It was possible for a user to change the log output destination to an

asynchronous port while the user was logged into the asynchronous port. This

resulted in the user losing access to the command line interface.

■It was possible to create a log output definition with an asynchronous port as

the destination even when another user was logged into that asynchronous

port. This resulted in the other user losing access to the command line

interface.

■If a user changed the log output destination to an asynchronous port and

specified invalid parameters in the command, an error message was displayed

but the new output destination was saved anyway.

■The set command allowed a user to specify an asynchronous port as the

destination without specifying the asynchronous port number. The number

defaulted to asyn0, which may not have been the desired port.

These issues have been resolved.

YYYYYYYYYY

CR00012855 Core 2 If the switch was rebooted at a time when there was a high level of packet traffic

between the switch ports and the switch CPU, then during the reboot process it

was possible for RAM test errors to occur.

This issue has been resolved.

CR00012868 ENCO 2 Entering the command create enco key=number ip=? caused the router or

switch to reboot.
