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.

          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.

          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
          Site Manager 4.00 or greater, an SNMP set error occurs.

          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.

          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.
