Router slots configured for Source Route Bridging (SRB) traffic experience a fault after receiving a corrupted SRB packet.

CR 97988-2: IP
After learning many BGP routes if you disable BGP then ping an IP interface, it fails at the next hop.

CR 101021-1: OSI
An interoperability issue between SDH network elements running Retix/Vertal OSI stack can cause periodic communication losses for the router.

CR 101623-1: DCMMW
Due to unsynchronized clocks between the DCM and the router, the RMON2 time filter operations are incorrect.

CR 102529-1: IP
IP accounting does not work on a BCN router in frame relay Direct mode.

CR 103745-1: BGP
BGP does not use the IGP cost to determine the next-hop address as the MED value of routes advertised to an EBGP peer.

CR 104366-1: Flash
Compacting an already compacted 40 MB flash card on a FRE-2, FRE- 2_060, or ARE causes an error.

CR 104516-1: ATM

CR 105045-1: BGP
When deleting an ATM PVC service record that is configured for BGP, an error occurs.

CR 106129-1: ATM
When processing LE_ARP responses the router incorrectly determines certain 802.5 MAC addresses as broadcast, causing the LEC to restart.

CR 106374-1: SDLC
Bouncing TCP on a SDLC PU2.1 client to a token ring host with DLSw Version 2.0 causes an orphaned buffer fault to occur.

CR 106826-1: BGP
The EBGP router does not port BGP routes to RIP when configured to do so.

CR 106975-1: SRB
The SR - SR_SRC_NB_Name filter causes other filters associated with the same port to drop packets.

CR 107209-1: IPEX
During a file transfer, if the TCP connection goes into congestion control, the connection shuts down.

CR 107354-1: WCP
In a configuration with PPP and only one client per WCP line, the compression and decompression client ring (buffer) size overflows when traffic consists mainly of small, 64-byte packets.

CR 107502-1: CSMA/CD
On an ASN router, the wfCSMACDLackRescErrorRx error count increases incorrectly.

CR 107806-1: DLSw
The router does not respond to SABMEs with an unnumbered acknowledgment packet which prevents DLSw traffic.

CR 108091-1: DVMRP
Data can be lost when the router learns a subordinate route from one neighbor router and receives a poison reverse from another router that resides in its neighbor list.

CR 108689-1: DVMRP
The router discards the prune packet if an active prune from the downstream neighbor already exists. Traffic can also be blocked for a period if the new prune time value is less than the current prune time value.

CR 108715-1: ATM
If an ATM service record is deleted while the ARE is disconnected from the switch, a master control processor fault occurs on the router.

CR 108776-1: DVMRP
A temporary data loss can occur when a prune is sent with an incorrect time value that is smaller than the current prune time value.

CR 109126-1: FRE4/10_100_QENET
When you configure a 10/100-TX link module interface to support only 10BASE-T, even with no physical connection the router reports that the interface is up.

CR 109173-1: X.25
The X.25 PAD does not recognize the "selection PAD command signal" when caller user data is attached to the call message.

CR 109269-1: SWSERV
SWSERV always answers an incoming call on the first ring, regardless of the setting of S register 0 (S0 is the setting for the number or rings to receive prior to answering the call) for Hayes mode.

CR 109399-1: ATM Half Bridge
When a packet contains the data whose length is less than the minimum required for Ethernet encapsulation, ATM half bridge does not pad the data to the minimum length.

CR 109532-1: ARP
Setting the MIB parameter wfIpBaseArpBufLimitPrcnt to a value other than 100% causes the router to lose packets.

CR 109546-1: X.25
Using ISDB PAD, the echo back to the terminal server does not work when the DTR Action entry is set to disable and the DTR is off.

CR 109636-1: MOSPF
After adding the 21st IGMP static join entry, browsing the MOSPF forwarding table or issuing the "show mospf fwd" command causes the router to fault.

CR 109640-1: MOSPF
Invoking the "show mospf fwd" command does not show more than 13 downstream forwarding entries.

CR 109734-1: IP
ECMP fails to recover all paths when a link restarts when one or more paths are over a PPP link.

CR 109842-1: ISDN
After dynamically configuring a standby circuit, the standby end remained active causing the upper layer protocols to also remain in an active state.

CR 109909-1: Boot
Booting the router multiple times with either a named boot file or typing "boot" causes orphan buffers in the log. Also, any router slots that do not contain a flash card will stop loading protocols.

CR 109933-1: BGP
When issuing the "ip bgp_routes -N" command on interfaces with more than four BGP peers, the network summary at the bottom is incorrect.

CR 110036-1: ATM
The router LEC is using the wrong parameters when placing control direct VCC to LES.

CR 110148-1: OSPF
Enabling OSPF ASE metric support affects RIP external type 1 route advertisements. This only affects static routes; directly connected routes function correctly.

CR 110427-1: Filters
Invoking the "show ip traffic filter" command in the Technician Interface displays incorrect information for the traffic filter fragments associated with the wfIPTrafficFilterEntry MIB attribute.

CR 110565-1: Frame relay
On routers configured for frame relay multiline and the "AsyncStatusReport" option enabled on the frame relay switch, adding VCs to the multiline circuits on the switch causes a system error.

CR 111164-1: WCP
With WCP over ISDN MPPP Dial on Demand with Bandwidth on Demand, faults may occur.

CR 111193-1: ARN

When booting the BCN router configured with MOSPF and 375 direct mode point-to-point OSPF interfaces, a tag violation occurs.

CR 112865-1: IGMP
When adding 312 IGMP static groups to the router, running the "ip mtm -s x" command results in bus or address errors with the subsequent restart of the IGMP subsystem on other slots.

CR 113143-1: SWSERV
SWSERV debug message "The primary cct is xx, the bu_gh is xxx" fills up the log. The logging of this message can be disabled with the MIB attribute wfSwservOptsDebugMsglevel.

CR 113195-1: Technician Interface
When a BGP peer is deleted using the Technician Interface while running RFD, the BGP peers get stuck in the Not Present state and a fault occurs.

The BCN router/bridge stops forwarding packets if a multiple Virtual Router IDs are configured on the same LAN segment and a Not Owner Virtual Router is used by hosts as the default gateway.

CR 113793-1: Technician Interface
A text error (a redundant "in") appears in a reference to the "Quick Starting Routers" guide in the install.bat file.

CR 113931-1: DLSw
DLSw does not pass XID data in a REACH ACK frame.

CR 113969-1: DLSw
Router faults when the DLS TCP session for the backup peer goes down due to inactivity (primary peer is up and operational, so backup peer is not used).

CR 114077-1: MOSPF
When you enter the "ip mospf_cache -sx" Technician Interface command, the slot restarts.

CR 114211-1: IGMP
When you use Site Manager to dynamically configure an IGMP static group on a synchronous interface, the router faults with a bus error.

CR 114317-1: OSPF
With a large number of frame relay direct mode PVCs all running OSPF and MOSPF, resetting all ports at once will cause a fault.

CR 114349-1: Frame relay
Traffic shaping on a frame relay PVC causes a "scheduler exit due to orphaned buffer" message.

CR 114395-1: X.25
When multiple IPEX connection requests are made and never acknowledged, a fault occurs due to insufficient memory.

CR 114630-1: X.25
When full addressing is OFF, traffic is not forwarded to the right LCN.

CR 114840-1: DLSw
The backup peer doesnĘt come up when the router is running DLSw RFC 2166.

CR 114938-1: DLSw
If a router is configured for DLS version 2166 and has UDP peers configured, the log file fills up too quickly with "sending canureach to primary peer x.x.x.x!" This message will now only display when DLSw extended debugging is enabled.

CR 114959-1: ATM
Unable to delete PVCs on an ATM interface.

CR 115492-1: VINES
After a VINES network outage, the routing table may become corrupt.

CR 116691-1: MOSPF
After running the "mtrace" tool on a router configured with MOSPF, the MOSPF table contains non-multicast or other incorrect entries.

CR 116853-1: Pktdump
The Pktdump utility (v1.3) places an incorrect date on the packet.

CR 117118-1: TI
Due to security concerns about logins with User Access being able to access the SNMP community strings configured on the router, logins with User Access are now prevented from using the "type" command.

CR 117118-2: SNMP
Due to security concerns about logins with User Access being able to access the SNMP community strings configured on the router, logins with User Access are now prevented from using FTP to transfer configuration files from the router.

CR 117145-2: BGP
BGP reports routes to the Routing Table Manager with incorrect IP next-hop information, causing routing loops.

CR 117191-1: FTP
When transferring the wellflt.log file using FTP, an FTP log message occurs because of log wrap during log aggregation stating that "xx events lost on slot yy." In the log message, the event and slot numbers are transposed causing the slot number to appear to be an invalid value.

CR 117553-3: Frame relay
The frame relay startup delay timer is not reliably controlling the routing convergence on unicast PVCs.

CR 117700-1: SW-SERV
If you configure a multichannel T1 interface for PPP/ISDN with Bandwidth on Demand over Dial on Demand between two routers, and have one side configured as Dynamic Monitor and the other as Multilink, disconnecting the MCT1 line causes a bus error.

CR 118218-1: ATM LANE
Continuously disabling and reenabling an ATM service record (or records) on a single interface causes a tag violation and/or an master control processor error.

CR 118244-1: X.25
During router reboot, reset, or restart of X.25, a bus error occurs on either the local or remote slot of a T1 connection.

CR 118273-1: FRE4/10_100_QENET
When statically configuring any port for 10M as half duplex or full duplex, the 10/100 quad Ethernet network card exhibits performance inconsistencies.

CR 118481-1: ATM LANE
Resetting all or a subset of ATM service records may result in all or a subset of these service records not to recover.

CR 119433-1: BGP
The IP routing tables are inconsistent among different router slots. The routing table for the BGP soloist slot contains routes that are not populated on its remote sites.

CR 119556-1: BGP
With a BGP soloist running on a FRE-4 processor, BGP peers donĘt recover when BGP is restarted.

CR 119587-1: ATM LANE
The following warning message displays inappropriately in the log file "ATM LEC LE ARP entry for MAC exists but canĘt be found".

CR 119604-1: Frame relay
After moving a PVC out of the default service record on a router running frame relay Annex D and adding IP/OSPF, the router faults.

CR 120058-1: IP
After rebooting in an environment with many OSPF interfaces, inconsistencies between the OSPF soloist slot and other slots may occur.

CR 120372-1: OSPF
When adding IP static routes to a host address with a mask of all ones, the routes are entered into the routerĘs IP routing table but OSPF never imports them, preventing any other OSPF router from learning the routes.

CR 120541-1: TCP
When multiple DLS peers are configured on the router, the TCP synchronous frames are being ignored by the router. This causes TCP peers to form slowly.

CR 120850-1: ARE
Switched virtual circuits (SVCs) remain with a state of INIT (initializing).

CR 120958-1: VINES
In a large, highly redundant network, VINES will sometimes fault while processing network updates.

CR 120960-1: VINES
When processing many large updates, VINES will fault due to an out-of-memory error.

CR 121955-1: NAT
The forwarding of traffic between one local NAT interface to another local NAT interface is not permitted.

The new MIB attribute wfNatBaseLocalToLocalEnable addresses this issue. By default wfNatBaseLocalToLocalEnable is set to enabled to allow this traffic to go through. To change this setting you can use the Technician Interface.

CR 123306-1: OSPF
OSPF routes, whether local routes or routes learned from neighbors, are never removed from the router routing table.

CR 123372-1: Ping
Issuing the ping -p command displays asterisks instead of the intermediate hops.

CR 123960-1: NTP
When NTP (Network Time Protocol) is in use, the MIB attribute wfSysUpTime is not updated correctly so that it does not reflect the true amount of up time.
