Revision Notes for Router
Software 12.01 and Site Manager 6.01
Bay Networks is introducing a new methodology for releasing Bay Networks
routing software.
Maintenance Releases
Designated by a change in the second number to the right of the decimal
point. Provides a collection of software bug fixes for the then current
Major Release. No new software or hardware features or functionality for
either software or hardware is introduced beyond that already contained in
the then current Major Release.
A Maintenance Release will occur approximately each 3 to 4 months after a
Major Release occurs. A Maintenance Release replaces the then current
Major Release (or the prior Maintenance Release) on the Price List and will
become the current shipping version of BayRS. Each Maintenance Release
will be a consolidation of the prior bug fixes made through Revision
Releases, and will roll up all such software bug fixes provided by the
recent Revision Releases.

=============================================================
Revision 12.01 corrects the following problems:
=============================================================
CR 34749: DLSw.
If you delete DLSw from a circuit, then you disable DLSw globally,
a bus error occurs.
CR 35587: IGMP.
If you have a static IGMP group, it does not age out. However, if
the group receives an IGMP LEAVE message, the static group age time
is erroneously set to the configured value and then aged out.
CR 30266: Frame Relay.
A bus error can occur in frame relay if a router receives frames
destined for a frame relay source route interface while that
interface is still initializing.
CR 34456: Frame Relay.
A fault may occur when you reboot a router with a configuration
that was saved after certain dynamic configuration changes were
made to frame relay.
CR 32296: ARN.
A problem exists such that the ARN U interface Adapter Module will
not respond to NT1 loop codes.
CR 32927: DECnet.
DECnet sends out an invalid packet, which causes other equipment
to fail when the packet is received.
CR 34593: DECnet.
If you configure a 1 second hello timer on a DECnet interface, the
router actually transmits a hello packet every 2.07 seconds.
CR 35156: DECnet.
The router advertises itself as unreachable when the global
RouterLevel is set to level 1.
CR 33156: Scripts.
When you run the "show bridge forward" script to view the
Learning Bridge forwarding table, and the table contains 4000
or more entries, the slot running the Technician Interface incurs a
tag violation error.
CR 33356: FDDI.
In a Dual Homed configuration, PHY_A disconnects if a process runs
too long in the CPU. The router reports a PHY_A disconnect and
then, 50 seconds later, will put PHY_A back into standby mode. This
could be a serious problem if PHY_B fails during those 50 seconds
that PHY_A is disconnected.
CR 33880: DLSw.
DLSw does not use the "Backup Peer Hold Down Timer" after a TCP
connection reset, only after the DLSw keepalives are exhausted.
CR 34771: DLSw.
A problem exists whereby connections may fail
to establish because the router does not send multiple CANUREACH
messages when it receives multiple XID T2 Polls.
CR 30952: DLSw.
The DLS slot memory statistics show erroneous memory usage by
this DLS slot. This condition reflects incorrect statistics and
inhibits the establishment of new connections as the erroneous
statistic is used to determine if DLS may acquire more memory from
the system heap during connection establishment.
CR 34027: DVMRP.
DVMRP routes are not declared unreachable when the reporting
neighbor times out. DVMRP waits for the route expiration timer to
expire before updating those routes.
CR 34103: DVMRP.
Router does not always prune (s, g) caches for which there is
neither a local member nor a downstream neighbor.
CR 34013: DVMRP.
If there is no DVMRP interface configured on the OSPF soloist
slot, the router does not propagate MOSPF routes to other DVMRP
slots.
CR 34336: DVMRP.
DVMRP fails to delete mask entries from routes_by_mask_utbl in the
base environment. The mask entry should be deleted if it does not
have a pointer to any routes in the main routing table.
CR 34890: DVMRP.
There is a race condition that may cause a bus error in MTM when
DVMRP detects a routing change.
CR 34104: OSPF.
A condition exists in OSPF in which an ARP request can be
generated out the wrong interface when the OSPF next hop for
that network is in transition. A response from a device running
proxy ARP at that time causes installation of the host route,
which results in traffic being forwarded out of the wrong
interface.
CR 33928: OSPF.
A router configured for OSPF may fail to properly advertise a
Type2 LSA for a network on which it is the designated router. This
results in a loss of connectivity to that network throughout the
AS, and routers not using that network in their shortest path
first calculations.
CR 34395: OSPF.
If you bounce an Autonomous System Border Router (ASBR) in an OSPF
area, the Area Border Router (ABR) might permanently age out the
Type 4 link for that ABR. This eliminates connectivity to that
ASB's external routes for all routers outside of that area.
CR 30029: OSPF.
If the OSPF backup soloist is enabled and the router receives a
database description (DD) packet with bad a checksum, the router
generates a bus error.
CR 33035: OSPF.
The OSPF Multihop ECMP functionality fails to distribute networks
across equal cost OSPF Point-to-Point paths in certain
configurations.
CR 34155: OSPF.
An enhancement request to add gate statistic reporting capability
to OSPF. This new feature enables you to determine how many
buffers were processed after each run of the OSPF receive gate,
and how many of each kind of OSPF messages were processed during
that particular run.
CR 33984: OSPF.
A condition exists in OSPF where an ABR will not
originate a more specific summary net into a non-backbone area,
when a less specific summary for that net is present in the
non-backbone area. The ABR does not consider the
validity of the less specific summary net, or whether the less
specific summary net is even present in the backbone LSDB.
CR 33616: OSPF.
A problem occurs in OSPF, where both the designated router (DR)
ineligible and DR eligible routers are flapping; they oscillate
between down->init and init->down states.
CR 35249: OSPF.
On occasion, OSPF fails to boot, because a bus error occurs in
ospf_create_sum_lsdb+0x11a.
CR 34015: OSPF.
If you set the OSPF Range Status parameter to "not advertise" (in
the OSPF range window of Site Manager or
wfOspfAreaRangeEntry.wfOspfAreaRangeStatus), it does not hide the
summary or prevent it from being advertised to the backbone area.
CR 34266: SDLC.
A DLC-SDLC DLSw connection does not recover after a virtual circuit
is moved from an inactive to an active state.
CR 34754: IP.
A router, configured for Dial Optimized Routing and with the
broadcast timer set to 24 hours, times out routing information
protocol (RIP) routes before the broadcast timer expires.
CR 27260: IP.
If there are many hosts learned through the port, the IP host
cache causes a slot reset when you enable it.
CR 32880: IP.
When telnetting from a BLN router configured for host-only mode, the
router faults in ip_del.c at line 252. This occurs only
on the first telnet attempt after you boot the router.
CR 33496: IP.
There is a problem in 11.02 and later, whereby a router does not
cache any IP frames destined for hosts that are unresolved. Prior
to 11.02, if a router received IP traffic destined for a local
host for which it did not have an ARP entry, the router would
cache up to the first 4 frames received for this host while
attempting to resolve the address.
CR 33867: IP.
Enabling extended traffic filters in ISP mode causes a fault in
ip_fwd_frag.
CR 33872: IP.
Packets are lost when you enable IP_ETF with ISP mode already
enabled.
CR 34359: IP.
A router configured with ISP enabled and handling heavy traffic
may encounter a BGP/OSPF soloist failure in
ip_barp_operational_act+0x0 routing after the slot runs out of
memory.
CR 34265: IP.
An error occurs in ISP mode resulting in a watchdog
fault after BGP experiences multiple failed TCP connections.
CR 32277: IP.
A problem exists in which RIP2 may advertise the same
networks multiple times during a periodic update if a particular
type of RIP policy filter is in place. The policy filter is
configured to generate routes by placing a series of routes in the
Advertise list while the Networks list is configured for
the 0.0.0.0 / 0 range (all routes).
CR 34692: IP.
A problem exists whereby ISP mode experiences NFS
timeouts.
CR 34809: X.25.
When X.25 sends messages to link access protocol balanced (LAPB)
for IPEX in Gateway Mode, it occasionally sends them to the
incorrect LAPB gate.
CR 34811: IPEX.
An error occurs when you bounce Link Access Protocol Balanced
(LAPB), resulting in the following message: System error, service
attempting restart. Error in buf_float.c at line 113.
CR 34816: IPEX.
Sometimes resets are not being sent because TCP cannot allocate a
buffer.
CR 34817: IPEX.
In ipex_lapb_gw_send() in ipex_data.c, a message is sent to LAPB
if there are no LAPB credits. But when the buffer used for this
message is then freed, a buf float error occurs.
CR 34843: IPEX.
A problem exists whereby LAPB sometimes tries to send a
LAPB_CONN_CONF message to IPEX Control Gate before IPEX is loaded,
if the LAPB client type is not X25 (i.e. IPEX).
CR 34844: IPEX.
IPEX's TCP retry feature does not work in the IPEX Gateway Mode
over direct LAPB.
CR 34845: IPEX.
A problem exists when running IPEX Gateway Mode over direct LAPB,
such that the session comes up, but no data is passed.
CR 26077: BGP.
If BGP is loaded onto more than one slot, or if there is a backup
BGP soloist slot configured, it will not execute.
CR 28807: FTP.
When you boot a router with FTP disabled, you cannot initiate an
FTP session to the router after enabling FTP.
CR 31649: PING-MIB
The reported IP ping round-trip times are incorrect. This affects
both the TI ping command and the ping MIB.
CR 32394: Technician Interface.
A bus error may occur when using the embedded Technician Interface
enable/disable sync command, and referencing the circuit by name,
not by number.
CR 32457: IGMP.
Although it creates forwarding entries, IGMP does not always
forward multicast packets.
CR 34068: IGMP.
An error occurs in igmp_xmit_act when you send rsvp path,igmp join,
rsvp resv messages to a router along with data.
CR 33672: SYNC.
A condition exists where if a port on an octal
sync card receives an excessive amount of errors, it will cause
lack of resource errors on the other ports that are on the same
quic chip. Then, when the circuit experiencing the problem is
disabled or fixed, the other ports continue to have lack of
resource errors, even with minimal traffic load.
CR 33906: RSVP.
After you bounce a circuit, downstream routers present the
following message: "No outgoing interfaces."
CR 34085: QLLC.
A bus error occurs after you disable/enable the
QLLC map entry twice.
CR 33674: QLLC.
When disabling X25QllcMapEntry, the state value does not change.
CR 34161: LLC.
A bus error occurs if you delete an interface with LLC2 when
llc.exe is unloaded.
CR 34137: MOSPF.
The DLS slot fails if you globally disable MOSPF by going to
Protocols->IP->OSPF/MOSPF/QOSPF->Global and changing the Multicast
Extensions option from "All Multicasting" to "None."
CR 34450: MOSPF.
Multicast data flows do not fully recover after a hardware
failure.
CR 34589: MOSPF.
When you repeatedly join/leave the same group, with a silence
period of at least 30 seconds between each cycle, the traffics in
the first 5 seconds may be dropped.
CR 33514: MOSPF.
An error may occur after a reboot, where the multicast bit is not
turned on for some imported DVMRP routes.
CR 33571: MOSPF.
A problem exists after rebooting a remote DVMRP router, whereby
traffic for source in the dvmrp cloud is not forwarded over pure
MOSPF routes.
CR 34469: Frame Relay Traffic Shaping.
Traffic Shaping does not support values of 3/8, 5/8, etc. It is
only able to deal with Tc values in the form of 1/n
(1/3, 1/2, 1/4, etc.).
CR 34548: RIP.
An issue exists where a RIP announce policy
filter does not work properly if configured to filter on OSPF TAG
type.
CR 34596: SWSERV.
A fault occurs when you restart a BOD channel.
CR 29988: APPN.
The AN router experiences a fault in APPN, indicating that the
system buffer is not large enough. This FAULT occurs only on
the AN /E/S (Ethernet + Sync).
CR 32595: Telnet.
A problem exists where the ESC key (Escape) does not work if
you telnet from a Bay router to another Bay router, and then telnet
to a UNIX station.
CR 34024: BOT.
An enhancement request to enable the BayRS Bisync protocol to
support more leading SYNC characters. Currently, the BISYNC code
is hardcoded for 2 leading SYNC characters. The customer's Bisync
controller requires 7 SYNC characters. The BayRS code requires
configurable leading SYNC characters in order to interoperate.
CR 34484: PPP.
IP incorrectly considers the Maximum-Receive-Unit to include not
only the Payload (information field), but the header as well. This
can cause a discrepancy in the total packet size crossing the PPP
line and the maximum protocol size.
CR 31530: RDISC.
A Zero Divide Bus Error occurs if you set
the Min and Max Advertisement Interval the same when configuring
Router Discovery.
CR 33780: Learning Bridge.
If you globally disable and then enable learning bridge (LB) on a
slot, an error may occur where bridging fails to come back up on
that slot.
CR 34112: DLSw.
When a router from another vendor (IBM, CISCO) sends the frames
with the different Circuit ID values to a receiving Bay router,
the Bay router does not comply to RFC 1795 rules to reflect the
origin circuit ID values unchanged, and not to vary the target
circuit ID.
CR 34196: MOSPF.
This is a request to add new Technician Interface IP commands to
display DVMRP routes, and for scheduling calculation.
CR 34783: Translation Bridge.
Packets larger than 1500 should be dropped if the translation bridge
(XB) is configured for 802.3.
CR 33755: MOSPF.
This is a request to correct the imported DVMRP routes to AS
external type 2, from the current type 1.
CR 32983: LOADER.
If there are two or more advance routing engines (ARE) configured
in one router, and you perform a named boot without using the
bn.exe image or config, one of the ARE's will fail to load all of
its executable files.
CR 34782: IGMP.
A bus error occurs when a frame relay interface configured with
MOSPF fails.
CR 35039: MOSPF.
A problem exists in MOSPF, whereby the router fails to reactivate
the preferred route from a backbone area to a subnet, after
restoration of a path that had previously failed.
CR 35115: X.25.
A bus error occurs when tearing down sessions during normal data
transfer operations.
CR 34387: MIB II.
An error occurs whereby a multiline, multislot sync
configuration returns zeroes or inaccurate values for wfIfEntry
inoctets reported for that circuit.
CR 34704: MOSPF.
An error occurs in MOSPF, whereby multicast packets do not get
forwarded after a topology change in a redundant network.
CR 34841: MOSPF.
An error occurs in MOSPF, whereby multicast packets do not get
forwarded after bouncing a circuit with dual border routers.
CR 34938: MOSPF.
An error exists in MOSPF, such that when a router is configured
for bidirectional traffic and the topology is changed, traffic is
restored in only one direction.
CR 35100: IPEX.
When a router is in IPEX Gateway Mode, it is unable to quickly
bring up multiple sessions.
CR 35114: IPEX.
If you configure IPEX Gateway Mode over direct LAPB, it causes a
bus error when the session restarts.
CR 30446: ATMZ.
Traffic is shaped differently when the "per-VC clipping" Atmizer
feature is enabled compared to when it is disabled (default).
CR 34833: MOSPF.
An error occurs in MOSPF, whereby a tag violation results when
bouncing a circuit and sending multicast traffic.
CR 32052: TCP.
An enhancement request to enable TCP to record who closed a
connection in the log, rather than merely that the connection was
closed.
CR 35108: IPEX.
An enhancement request to identify IPEX log messages as error
messages. Currently, only the function name and a value
is logged,
but it is not clear that the value is an error code.
CR 34893: ATMZ_ARE.
A problem exists in 11.02 (Rev 3 and later) that causes an Inter-
Cell Gap that exceeds the configured Peak Cell Rate for a DS3
board.
CR 35065: TI.
When the date on a router is 2000 or greater (that is, 01/01/00), the
log command using the -d function does not work correctly. Instead,
the command displays the entire log.
CR 33958: Packet Capture
An error occurs when using PCAP for a packet capture on a HSSI line.
If the packet gets above 140 bytes, PCAP will intermittently capture
receive data before transmit. Once you set the packet size to 160
bytes or more, it happens all the time.
CR 34387: TI.
A multiline, multislot sync configuration returns zeroes or
inaccurate values for wfIfEntry entries reported for that
circuit.
CR 34632: ATM.
An address exception error can occur in the ATMizer code when Per
PVC cupping functionality is enabled.
CR 32167: AppleTalk.
A bus error occurs when you bounce the AppleTalk base.
CR 34020: HSSI
Bursts of packets on high traffic HSSI line can cause an HSSI log
message.
CR 35208: DLSw.
An llc/qllc topology degrades as traffic volume increases.
CR 35267: AT.
A problem exists where a bus error will occur in at_aptf.c @line 339
upon receipt of a MAC IP packet.
CR 35322: X.25.
If a configuration has a large number of X25 service records and
you dynamically configure X25 on a new slot (that is, for the first
time), a g_map error occurs. This happens only using a dynamic
configuration.
CR 34374: FireWall.
Multilayer 2 protocol encapsulation over different media will not
work if packets are received together in a list of buffers rather
than one buffer at a time. Similarly, multilayer 3 protocol,
(i.e., IP and IPX), may not work either.
CR 32753: OSPF.
A problem exists in which an area border router with area range
summaries configured can get stuck in a load state while the
other side of the adjacency is in a full state.
CR 33735: Switched Services.
When you attempt to configure DOR dynamically, a routing update
(RIP/SAP for both IP and IPX) problem occurs, preventing the
exchange of routes with the data packet call.
CR 33666: DLSw.
A reserved capx incorrectly returns an error code of
DLS_CAPX_INVALID_CTRL_VEC_ID.
CR 33729: DLSw.
A VBM error may occur when DLS packets are fragmented in the
network.
CR 33749: WCP.
A dial-on-demand circuit configured with WCP fails to come up
when the other end of the circuit is a pre-12.00 router.
CR 30361: MIB.
The synchronous external clock speed fails to map over to the
MIB II clock speed, causing improper aggregation between the
the internal and external lines.
CR 33155: SDLC.
An SDLC connection will be dropped when an ARN router sends a
packet before it is polled.
CR 31684: DLSw.
Enhancement request to disable DLS multislot broadcasts from the
DLC side.
CR 32854: OSPF.
33434:
OSPF sends link state requests (LSR) when either the retransmit
timer activated or a link state update (LSU) was received.
Sending a LSR when an LSU was received resulted in multiple
duplicate LSRs.
CR 31035: ATM.
When disabling the ATM driver, the ATM service record remains in
an up state when it should be in a down state.
CR 32843: Telnet.
If you Telnet into the router via the ATM (LANE) port and
disconnect abnormally (physically remove Telnet client station
off the network without disconnecting Telnet), the router fails to
terminate the Telnet process.
CR 33330: Learning Bridge.
Bouncing a learning bridge interface results in a bus error when
you disable learning bridge globally. On an ARE, a Vector 2 MCP
error can occur.
CR 19135: Source Route Bridge.
An enhancement request to produce a new script called "show srb
traffic filters" that would function in the same manner as the
"show ip traffic filters" script.
CR 32240: X.25.
Call requests are always cleared if full addressing is set to OFF.
CR 33151: IPEX.
A problem exists between 11.01 (and earlier) and 11.02 (and later)
implementations of IPEX in which an 11.02 or later router cannot
establish
calls with an 11.00 router. Added a new MIB parameter,
wfipexInscallingDte, in IPEX base. The default is disabled to
prevent the calling DTE address from being added, but will allow
router software version 11.02 or greater to interoperate with
lower revisions of code.
CR 33379: DLSw.
ATM Data Direct fails to establish after the ATM link is disrupted.
CR 32580: Spanning Tree.
The Spanning tree algorithm fails to converge predictably under
failure conditions.
CR 33181: RSVP.
The TSpec bucket rate, depth, and peak rate values get corrupted
when the RSVP soloist is running on an ARE processor.
CR 33653: OSPF.
The TOS and metric fields in a summary link state update are
corrupted.
CR 30499: IP.
Added new MIB variable wfBgpPeerEntry.wfBgpPeerASLoopDetect
(Default value = disabled) to determine if a Peering session should
be torn down if an AS-Loop is detected in the AS Path. In all
cases the route(s) will be marked as unusable.
Disabled = Peering will remain up.Enabled = Peering will be dropped.
CR 27239: Translation Bridge.
Enhancement request to allow packets larger than Ethernet to be
translated. The current implementation allows only packet sizes of
1500. A new MIB parameter, wfBrXbFddiBridge, was added to the
translation bridge base to allow FDDI and Token Ring size packets
to be translated. You enable this parameter only if there are no
Ethernet ports being used for translation bridge on the router. The
mode must also be set to Ethernet II, not 802.3.
CR 25171: DECnet.
The router experiences a bus error when you delete DECnet in
dynamic mode on a frame relay circuit.
CR 26560: SDLC.
Unable to establish an SNA session between a 3174 device
configured as a pu2.1 device, an SDLC attached frad630 device
connected to another frad630 device via frame relay (ban or bnn),
and an Ethernet attached host (3172).
CR 32886: DLSw.
After a PU1 controller is disconnected and reconnected to the
SDLC primary line on a router, DLSw fails to cycle properly between
disconnected and established states. After entering an
established state, the AS/400 sends an XID poll, which is
transported across to the remote controller. The remote controller
responds with an XID Final, which is transported back to the
central site, received by DLSw and by the SDLC code, but never
transmitted back to the AS/400.
CR 33853: DLSw.
The router faults when the MIB object wfDlsConnectionEntry is aged
out.
CR 33921: SDLC.
An AN router can experience a bus error fault when you set the
SDLC line to "VARY ON" on the AS400 for the remote SDLC
controllers.
CR 33922: SDLC.
An AN router may experience a bus error fault when the SDLC is set
to "VARIED OFF" on the AS400 for the remote SDLC
controllers.
CR 33806: IPX.
A problem exists where the router stops passing IPX NetBIOS
traffic in a frame relay group mode hub and spoke environment
using NetBIOS static routes with Novell Conformance disabled.
CR 33778: OSPF.
When multiple ASBRs announcing default routes in their
ASEs exist, the Technician Interface lists only one.
CR 33779: OSPF/MOSPF.
In a fail-over test involving Ethernet and FDDI, multicast
failed to take the correct path through the Ethernet after pulling
the FDDI cable. However, if you pulled the Ethernet cable instead,
multicast traffic successfully moved to the FDDI link.
CR 33056: IPX.
The router fails to apply two IPX filters of equal priority in the
order in which they appear in the route filter table.
CR 33404: APPN.
A router configured for APPN may fault with tag violations.
CR 33785: DLSw.
When you globally disable DLS, wfDls.wfDlsTotalCircuits.0
shows active DLSw connections. wfDls.wfDlsTotalCircuits.0
should be set to zero when DLS is disabled.
CR 33764: APPN.
Large topology updates may not be completely exchanged when the
sending CP is simultaneously receiving multiple updates from a
third CP.
CR 33933: APPN.
When an EN (AS/400) has a large enough number of CP-CP sessions,
the router that receives a Cross_Domain_Initiate GDS variable as a
part of EN's LOCATE message incurs a tag violation. This problem
stems from memory corruption during the allocation and release
of buffers in Session Services.
CR 33700: RSVP.
A tag violation occurred on a router running router software
version 12.00 while starting the soloist.
CR 33120: Switched Services.
A problem exists on routers running software version
11.01 and later in which the router sends ISDN call set ups
requesting the same B channel on a PRI for successive calls. This
condition occurs when attempting to establish multiple dial on
demand or dial backup circuits in a short period of time.
CR 28383: Technician Interface.
A router experiences random faults and slot resets on an ARE slot
while using the Technician Interface.
CR 34358: Technician Interface.
If you enter a year other than one between 1971 and 2070, the year
will not be set correctly on the router. The router accepts only
years between 1971 and 2070. If you use 2-digit notation, 71 through
99 becomes 1971 through 1999, and 00 through 70 becomes 2000 through
2070.
CR 33910: SYSLOG.
A bus error may occur when you telnet to a router on which SYSLOG
and WCP is enabled.
CR 33307: IPX.
Packets are not always forwarded out the direct route. This
problem can occur when an IPX route learned via RIP is also
a directly-connected route. If the route is learned through RIP
first, and the cost of the RIP-learned route is less than the
directly connected route, the directly-connected route is dropped.
CR 34135: DLSw.
Heavy SDLC traffic volume occurring on the router may result in
packet loss.
CR 34000: Firewall.
Communication between the FireWall router and the management
station will not occur properly if the firewall control gate
initializes on a slot that does not have the IP address used to
communicate from the router to the management station.
CR 32814: Technician Interface.
When you disable a terminal attached to a router running the
Technician Interface on an ARE card, the router enters the
diagnostics state and fails to exit until you reset it.
CR 28911: GAME.
If you schedule a boot for the year 2000 or later, you receive
a "Success" status message instead of a "Pending" status message.
CR 32980: GAME.
File Manager misinterprets file date stamps beyond the year 1999;
it displays the date as the year 19xx.
CR 24909: Flash.
Routers will not boot using Hitachi Maxell type flash cards.
CR 33798: HW_PROCESSOR.
The router periodically checks to verify that the I/O module
has not disconnected from the chassis by sending a signal to a
certain pin on the I/O module. Noise occurring on that pin at the
time of the check can cause the signal to be interpreted
incorrectly, causing the router to generate the following message:
# 816: 07/08/97 08:31:03.769 WARNING SLOT MODULE Code: 3
I/O module has been removed.
CR 33959: IPEX.
An enhancement request for the calling address insertion/overwrite
feature. The alarm management system used relies on the calling
address field in the incoming call to identify the device
reporting the alarm. The X.25 devices used in this network do not
fill the calling address in their calling request packets. However,
the alarm system still works because the public X.25 network
inserts the correct calling address when it receives a call
request with this field empty.
Created a new MIB variable, wfIpexMappingXlateCallingX121. When
wfIpexInsCallingDte is enabled, the calling address is
overwritten by the value specified in
wfIpexMappingXlateCallingX121, if configured.
No CR: X.25 Operational Note.
If you create an X.25 Service entry in dynamic mode, you must
perform one of the following operations before the X.25 VC entry
will be operational: reboot the router or reset the slot where the
newly created entry is configured.
CR 34517: IPEX.
A problem in the Gateway Mode data flow routine causes calls not to
be processed when there is no new data to process. This can cause
data transfer to stop and never re-start for one-way traffic.
CR 34518: IPEX.
A problem in the Gateway Mode data flow routine causes the TCP
window to be updated when data is stored in the data FIFO and by the
value of an uninitialized variable. The TCP window should only be
updated only when data is sent to PLP.
CR 34524: IPEX.
When IPEX detects that it received data from X.25 in out-of-sequence
order, IPEX should drop the data instead of processing it.
CR 34525: X.25.
Error in PktDATind() in x25_lirif.c causes vc_env pointer to
be tested for less than zero. Pointers are unsigned
and are never less than zero.
CR 34519: IPEX.
The IPEX FSM does not process TCP_RETRY_CONT messages in the
Established State.
CR 34520: IPEX.
The IPEX FSM does not process PLP_WIN_MSG in the Connected (CONN)
state.
CR 34526: X.25.
When booting a router with an X.25 line that is disabled, the log
message always reports that line 1 is disabled for logical lines on
an MCT1 circuit. The value 1 is not a valid line number. Line
numbers are made up of channel, type, slot, module, and connector.
CR 34521: IPEX.
An error in the IPEX Gateway Mode routine can occur when data is
sent to X.25 to test if there is PLP credit.
CR 34523: IPEX.
In IPEX FSM there is a case for IPEX_MSG_POLL_TCP
message in 4 states, but there is no code that sends that
message. Also there is no need to poll TCP. These cases
should be removed.
CR 34522: IPEX.
In ipex_pri.h there is a define statement that uses an
attribute that was deleted.
/* dynamically turn on logs through hidden MIB parameter */
#define IPEX_DEBUG_LOG_ON(ipex_env) \
(ipex_env->init_env->base_rec->wfIpexMaxSlotSessions == 1111)
The MIB attribute wfIpexMaxSlotSessions does not exist.
CR 33717: FDDI.
The DA30 was used to send SMT Port Management Request packets to
the router. The response packet indicated that the long term link
error rates on the ports were 10e-8 and 10e-15. The MIB indicated
the link error rate to be 10e-15 on both ports.
CR 34582: X.25.
When the VC Gate environment is created for PVCs,
the vc_state is init to X25_DATAXFR. This is
incorrect because VC is not ready to transfer data;
VC must wait for a client response message before
entering X25_DATAXFR state.
CR 34583: IPEX
When IPEX is in gateway mode and receives a reset when it
is in the CONN state, it does not verify that the cause code
is 09 (Operational) before switching to the EST state.
CR 34586: IPEX.
When IPEX receives a TCP Open request, it needs to send a
connect request to X.25. But, no check is made to see if
the needed circuit is operational. This leads to a bus error,
no lapb buffers, and other errors.
CR 34584: IPEX.
The PLP bound FIFO needs to be flushed when you get a TCP_CLOSE_MSG
in the IPEX Establish state before sending a Packet Level Reset
request to X.25.
CR 34599: X.25
You cannot configure LAPB Direct Interface-only circuits on SYNC and
MCT1 interfaces.
CR 32864: IPEX.
If a failure occurs at the remote IPEX IP interface, IPEX can no
longer establish TCP connections with the remote IPEX routers.
An enhancement to the current IPEX implementation allows you to
configure the secondary remote IP interface for backup using
the new MIB attribute wfIpexMappingRemoteBackupIp.
CR 33576: X.25.
Attempting to scale X.25 to 10 PVCs over 24 T1 logical channels
using the FRE2-040-32M causes a GAME system error. The same
error occurs when attempting to scale X.25 to 32 PVCs over 24 T1
logical channels.
CR 33871: IPEX.
Clearing inbound X.25 calls causes bus errors to occur on a
router configured with IPEX in end-to-end mode.
CR 32855: X.25.
PVC fails to come up after dynamically adding an X.25/PVC circuit.
CR 33410: IPEX.
If the X.25 client timer expires while IPEX is waiting for
a clear confirmation from the remote X.25 connection (end-to-end
mode only), X.25 will clear the call locally, causing the LCN to
be freed. However, all structures related to the virtual connection
(VC) do not get cleaned up properly. As a result, any calls placed
to this LCN will fail.
CR 34290: X.25.
When booting a router that has a configuration with a
wfLapbPktEntry that is set to Disable, X.25 restarts with
the following error message:
X25 System Error - DLRESind(), bad dlc_p pointer
CR 34292: X.25.
When you set multiple wfLapPktEntry to Disable using the Technician
Interface and then enter the Commit command, the router faults in
mib_ent.c at line 726.
CR 34293: X.25.
When you disable an X.25 line, the log message reports that line 1
is disabled for logical lines on a MCT1 circuit. The value "1" is
an invalid line number. Line numbers are made up of channel, type,
slot, module, and connector.
CR 33714: IPEX.
The server process was disabled with 240 sessions running. When the
listener process was restarted and the TCP connections had
been reestablished, the server and router both showed over 280
established connections.
CR 34295: IPEX.
The IPEX FSM does not process DATA_IND messages in the connected
(CONN) state. IPEX now can go from established (EST) state to the
CONN State and back to EST state while maintaining active
X.25 connections.
CR 33712: IPEX.
A PTOP virtual circuit may stop transmitting traffic on the network.
CR 33715: IPEX.
CR 34483:
Traffic is started over 240 sessions at 45-percent capacity.
Channel 1 is reset by toggling the wfLogicalLineDisable parameter
on bln43 (client). Each time you reenable channel 1, traffic is
restarted over it, eventually causing a bus error to occurs on the
client side router.
CR 34417: IPEX.
The IPEX audit gate checks for both a buflist and signal parameter
each time the gate is schedule. This violates GAME's
operational model, which states that the signal parameter is valid
only when buflist is set to NULL.
CR 34418: IPEX.
After receiving credits from X.25, IPEX should check whether it
has data to send to X.25. If IPEX fails to perform this check,
data could be retained in the FIFO.
CR 34419: IPEX.
Bad code segment occurring in IPEX FSM for the VC_DIED message
while operating in an establish state.
CR 33716: IPEX.
Unable to restart IPEX client sessions on the router after
terminating them.

10.01
===================================================
Revision 6.01 corrects the following problems:
====================================================
CR 35251: OSPF.
Defaults are read from cdl-generated ASCII output files. Default
values for MIBs of
type GAUGE are represented as signed numbers. Site Manager is
reading only type
integer values as long unsigned integrations.
No CR: PPP.
When you select PPP Line Lists from the PPP Interface Lists window
in dynamic mode, Site Manager terminates operation.
CR 33829: Logical Lines.
If you deselect the MCT card from the Add Circuit window, Site
Manager does not allow you to re-select it.
CR 34761: X.25.
Site Manager greys out the "Flow Facility" parameter on the X25
Service List window for all service types except IPEX.
CR 34906: Multilink/PPP.
Site Manager does not allow you to modify the "Multilink
Fragmentation" parameter or the "Multilink Trigger Size" parameter
on the PPP Interfaces window.
CR 34954: AppleTalk.
The Enable parameter should be the only parameter displayed in
the Edit AppleTalk
Global Parameters window, because MacIP is not supported.
CR 35261: LLC.
If you configure DLS/LLC on an ATM circuit, the LLC1 pull-down menu
on the Service Record window is missing for that circuit.
CR 35142: OSPF.
When you reset the primary OSPF log mask, Site Manager resets the
OSPF slot mask. The slot mask represents on which slots OSPF is
eligible to run, and the log mask specifies which OSPF errors are
written to the log.
CR 35182: IPEX.
Adding IPX to or deleting IPX from an 11.02 configuration
terminates Site Manager
operation.
CR 33513: Events Manager.
The events log displays the incorrect date for every year before
the leap year.
CR 35226: IPEX.
The valid values in the Value field and in the Help window do not
match for the Ipex Gateway Mapping PVC LCN entry. "Destination PVC
LCN" should include a range between 1 and 4095.
CR 35239: X.25/QLLC.
When configuring X.25/QLLC Maps, Site Manager leaves the "Generate
XID" field blank.
CR 35348: Router Redundancy
Clicking on "Edit Lines" for ethernet and 100Base-T router redundant
interfaces brings up the 100Mb/s CSMA/CD parameters window, which is
incorrect. Site Manager should bring up the Edit CSMA/CD
parameters window. If you click on OK, Site Manager displays the
following message: "ERROR: Invalid data entered for Interface Line
Speed". To exit the window, you must click on Cancel or enter an
incorrect value for line speed.
CR 34152: IP Traffic Filters.
When reordering the IP traffic filters, selecting "INSERT AFTER"
inserts the filter before the precedence number that was
selected, in either dynamic or local mode on a PC.
CR 34229: IP Traffic Filters.
A problem exists such that reordering filters on an interface with
less than 32 filters disables the IP extended support parameter.
When this happens, interfaces that require this parameter to be
enabled will not apply any filter above the 32nd filter.
CR 34297: PPP.
A problem exists in which BCP is not enabled for PPP, when SRB
or LB is configured on a switched
services circuit (dial on demand, dial backup, hot standby, and
so forth).
As a result, BCP is never negotiated when the dial circuit is
established, and consequently, bridging does not work on that
link.
CR 34527: BootP.
UNIX Site Manager appears to be querying Relay Agent Preferred
Server information incorrectly.
CR 34039: NAT.
After you create an unnumbered point-to-point circuit, adding a
NAT protocol
to this circuit will not create a NAT interface entry instance.
CR 33887: Statistics Manager.
The Octets In and Octets Out fields for t_sync.dat within
Statistics Manager do not get updated after selecting "Options ->
Zero All Counters".
CR 34239: Router Redundancy.
An error occurs in Site manager (PC), whereby a general protection
fault results when you use the "edit lines" facility from the edit
circuit screen of a router redundant interface.
CR 34919: PPP.
CR 35354:
When you enable the "RFC I661 Compliance" field in the "PPP Line
List" screen,
"wfSwservOptsRfc1661Compliance" is enabled internally for a dial
circuit.
CR 32366: ATM.
Site Manager sets the "Per-VC Clipping" parameter to an invalid
value when you modify other parameters in the window.
CR 34819: LLC.
The LLC circuit pull-down option displays to the right of the
Help option on the PC
instead of to the right of the window pull-down option, as on
the UNIX platform.
CR 32581: ARE.
Wrong part number for "ARE, DS3" and "ARE, E3".
CR 34951: Static Routes.
Site Manager does not permit you to configure subnetted static
routes.
CR 34717: ISDN.
Deleting a demand circuit dynamically fails to clear the local
phone number entry.
CR 35118: BOD.
Site Manager allows Dynamic Monitor in the bandwidth mode for a
leased line BOD, which should only be Monitor or Non-monitor. The
Dynamic Monitor is only used for Demand circuit with BOD.
CR 33967: IP.
When selecting Protocols/IP/RIP Interfaces from the Site Manager
Menu in Configuration Manager, Site Manager faults. This condition
occurs on both UNIX and PC platforms.
CR 34335: Frame Relay.
When you delete a frame relay PVC or service record, Site Manager
does not does not display a confirmation prompt.
CR 34367: Source Route Bridge.
Site Manager does not allow you to add source route bridge (SRB) to
a token ring interface. SRB is not on the Protocols menu.
CR 34370: DLSw.
If you add DLSw to a second token ring network, Site Manager sets
the Bridge ID parameter to 0.
CR 34407: Site Manager.
If you delete LLC from a token ring interface, Site Manager also
removes source route bridge from the interface. This happens with
SunOS and Win95 Site Manager.
CR 34199: OSPF.
Site Manager does not allow you to configure OSPF and DVMRP on the
same circuit.
CR 33557: X.25
The QLLC window contains two parameters, PU type and Generate XID,
for which Site Manager requires you to enter valid values.
However, when you enter values, exit the window and then reenter
the window, Site Manager clears the values from the fields.
CR 34391: DLSw
When you configure a new DLSw/SDLC circuit in dynamic mode, the
Source SAP and Destination SAP parameters are missing from the DLS
Local Device Configuration window. Also, Site Manager corrupts the
values you entered for the Source MAC and Destination MAC
parameters.
CR 33935: ATM.
A program error occurs when you click the SAAL button from the
Edit ATM Connector window in Site Manager.
CR 34119: Site Manager.
Site Manager does not allow you to change the name of an ISDN
leased line configured on a BRI interface when using the Change
Lines option from the Circuit Definition window.
CR 33521: MCT1-E1
The error message "Protocol ST2 or RSVP must be configured to
edit line resources" appears when attempting to edit logical line
resources on a non-PRI circuit.
CR 32524: PPP.
Added a new PPP parameter, RFC 1661 Compliance in the PPP line list.
Enabling this field will allow the router to run in compliance with
RFC 1661.
CR 33299: ATM.
The SSCS TYPE field is not listed when displaying an IP interface
in Site Manager.
CR 28617: Site Manager.
When configuring a local phone number on a version 9.00 router using

CR 29030: Switch Services.
Site Manager allows you to configure a standby primary circuit
configured as a frame relay backup primary circuit.
CR 33151: IPEX.
A problem exists between 11.00 and 11.02 (and later)
implementations of IPEX in which an 11.02 router cannot establish
calls with an 11.00 router. Added a new IPEX parameter, Insert
Calling DTE Address. The default is disabled to prevent the calling
DTE address from being added, but will allow router software
version 11.02 or greater to interoperate with lower revisions of
code.
CR 33626: Multiline.
Configuring multiline PPP over HSSI interfaces using Site Manager
Dynamic Configuration does not work. wfCctOptsEntry instances are
deleted during configuration.
CR 26320: PPP.
If you select a primary circuit from the Primary Circuit
Definition Dialog box, and then click on OK to exit from the
box, Site Manager changes the CHAP/PAP password to the default.
CR 28205: Interface Redundancy
Site Manager experiences a General Protection Fault (GPF) when you
try to configure interface redundancy for router interfaces on a
5000 router. This problem was found in Site Manager Version 5.0.
CR 33533: HSSI.
Site Manager uses 16 as the default when setting the HSSI CRC
size. According to the MIB, Site Manager should use 32 as the
default.
CR 26479: Statistics Manager.
If you view IPX circuit information for an inoperable or inactive
interface, Statistics Manager displays the incorrect network and MAC
address for that circuit.
CR 33004: Report Generator.
Report Generator cannot write to the root directory of a PC.
CR 33277: IP.
The TR End Station ARP type should not be an available option when
editing the IP interface entry of a demand circuit group.
CR 29473: NTP.
IP Mask defaults to 0.0.0.0 in the NTP Access Configuration List
window.
CR 28170: Router Redundancy.
Router Redundancy should allow you to select between 2 types of
redundancy (new and old).
CR 33823: ARN:Sync.
The SYNC parameter screen for the V34 modem is missing the WAN
Serial Interface Type field.
CR 33181: RSVP.
The TSpec bucket rate, depth, and peak rate values get corrupted
when the RSVP soloist is running on an ARE processor.
CR 33665: DLSw.
Changing the source route Interface RD value on the DLSw Basic
Interface window causes Site Manager to create a new source route
interface.
CR 33931: Site Manager.
After you install Site Manager, a message should appear,
indicating the environment variables that need to be defined to
run Site Manager.
CR 33843: CRM.
When editing an existing CRM line entry on the PC, an error
message appears.
CR 33299: ATM_RFE.
SSCS TYPE field for IBM's ATMARP SRV is not listed when displaying
an IP interface in Site Manager.
CR 33602: IP.
Site Manager allows static routes with invalid subnets to be
created.
CR 33482: ARN:ISDN.
If you open a local configuration file with an ISDN adapter module
Port Application Mode configured for 2B+D, Site Manager displays the
following message: WARNING: Empty Module 2 has circuits
configured.
CR 33926: DLSw.
When you set the Source Route Internal LAN ID and the Source Route
Bridge ID fields in the DLSw Basic Global window and click on OK,
the values do not get saved.
CR 33787: ISDN.
There is a problem with Site Manager that may result
in Site Manager erroneously enabling BOFLs on an MCT-1 module. If
you select a primary circuit on an MCT-1 module from the Dial Backup
Circuits window, click on Cct Type to display the Circuit
Type and the Backup Pool ID, and then click on OK without making
changes, BOFLs are enabled on all logical lines of the MCT-1. This
action causes all dial-on-demand and dial backup circuits
configured on that port to lose connectivity.
CR 33797: IP Traffic Filters.
A traffic filters tag violation may occur on a router after you
dynamically create a Drop action IP filter.
CR 33796: IP Traffic Filters.
Site Manager lets you create IP traffic filters (Forward to IP
Destination Address, Forward to Next Hop, and Forward to Next Hop
Interface), but you cannot edit them with Site Manager locally or
dynamically.
CR 33513: Site Manager - Admin.
To change the year on the router to the year 2000, on the Router
Date and Time window from the Admin option, you move the year
slider to 0. Then, you use the Technician Interface date function
to validate that 0 corresponds to 2000. The Router Date and Time
window should be changed to accept four digits; you should not be
expected to know that 0 equals 2000.
CR 34208: Scheduled Boot.
A Scheduled Boot should allow the date to be set between 1971-2070.
CR 33311: DLSw.
On Token Ring and Ethernet interfaces, Site Manager provides an
LLC Interface pull-down selection that allows you to select
LLC1 or LLC2. From there, you can then access the DLSw
interface definitions. This function is missing for ATM Interfaces.
From the ATM Service Record, only the Protocol Add/Delete and
Edit menus are displayed. You cannot access the DLSw interface
from the default LLC1 view.
CR 33667: Source Route Bridging.
Site Manager should support Source Route Bridging over ATM DXI,
using RFC 1483 and RFC 1490 encapsulation.
CR 34152: IP Traffic Filters.
When reordering the IP traffic filters, selecting INSERT AFTER
inserts the filter before the precedence number you
selected. This happens in both dynamic and local mode.
CR 34033: IP Traffic Filters
Site Manager faults when trying to edit an inbound IP traffic filter
dynamically in Configuration Manager.
CR 33719: IPEX.
After deleting all entries on the IPEX Mapping Table Configuration
list screen, the Add, Delete, and Apply buttons are no longer
displayed, making it impossible to add a new mapping without
having to back out of this screen and go back in.
CR 33720: IPEX.
Every time you delete an X.25 IPEX service record, a confirmation
prompt appears, making the task of deleting several service
records a laborious one.
CR 33721: LAPB.
The values range for the TCP Port parameter on the LAPB IPEX
Mapping Add window is incorrect. The text for the parameter should
also be changed to Remote TCP Port.
CR 33722: LAPB.
When you delete a LAPB Gateway circuit, the wfLapbEntry for that
circuit is not deleted.
CR 33765: X.25.
The X25.mib has a new attribute (wfLapbPktPduSize) used
to configure X.25 with the maximum message size from the X.25
client. A new parameter, Client PDU Size, needs to be added to
Site Manager to configure this attribute in the X.25 Packet
Configuration window.
CR 32864: IPEX.
If a failure occurs at the remote IPEX IP interface, IPEX can no
longer establish TCP connections with the remote IPEX routers.
An enhancement to the current IPEX implementation allows you to
configure the secondary remote IP interface for backup using
the new MIB attribute wfIpexMappingRemoteBackupIp. The new IPEX
parameter in Site Manager is Remote Backup IP Address.
CR 34599: LAPB.
Site Manager does not allow you to configure LAPB Direct Interface
circuits on SYNC and MCT-1 interfaces.
