Revision 10.01/13 corrects the following problems:
=============================================================
CR 33298: DVMRP.
When the DVMRP route switch timer expires, a delete cache message is
sent to delete the old incoming vif cache entries. This delete cache
message is not propagated to remote slots, resulting in the upstream
neighbor being pruned for certain (s, g) pairs.
CR 29170: DVMRP.
A g_fwd failure occurs when the dvmrp gate tries to send a message to
the igmp circuit gate.
CR 32587: DVMRP.
A graft is not sent toward the source when a DVMRP interface becomes
available resetting a slot. A graft must be sent to undo the prune
that was sent (correctly) when the slot was reset. Failure to send
this graft results in multicast traffic not being forwarded out the
recovered slot for the duration of prune time to live (default 5
minutes). This is the same issue described by CR31028.
CR 32867: DVMRP.
When the dvmrp base comes up in each slot, DVMRP updates the rtbl
and cache tables by sending all the resources in other slots. As
part of the update process, DVMRP sends a cache update message to
a slot from slots that have a cache table installed already. When
the base is bounced, the dvmrp_cache is flushed to 0, but the DVMRP
still tries to get cache entries from it, resulting in a bus error.
CR 33654: DVMRP.
A problem exists in DVMRP where DVMRP_BASE will slowly grab buffers
and not release them. This will continue until the slot runs out of
buffers and faults.
CR 33929: DVMRP.
DVMRP receives a more specific route in a route report, but fails to
install it. Under this particular scenario, DVMRP changes the metric
of the existing less specific route with the metric of the more
specific route. This is the same issue as the one described in CR26976.
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.
Under certain circumstances, a leaf vif may add alias to cache entry
(s, g) even if there is no local group member reported. As a result,
the router may fail to prune certain (s, g), which causes the
upstream neighbor to continue forwarding traffic.
CR 34207: DVMRP.
Cache entries can be recreated on an old vif when DVMRP switches to
a better route. The route does not forward traffic for the
associated group until those cache entries expire and new cache
entries are created for the better route.
CR 34210: DVMRP.
When a DVMRP triggered update is sent out because of topology
changes detected by DVMRP, the software sends an update
to only the first of the DVMRP circuits on a specified slot. The update
should be sent to all the DVMRP circuits on that slot.
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, eliminating connectivity to that ASB's
external routes for all routers outside of that area.
CR 34422: DVMRP.
A graft received from a downstream DVMRP neighbor is not
being propagated to the upstream neighbor.
CR 34594: DVMRP.
After a router's DVMRP neighbor times out, it faults with an error
in dvmrp_timers.c at line 197.
No CR: DVMRP.
Prune may be sent with wrong prune_timer, causing the prune_timer
between the router and the upstream neighbor to be out of sync.
This problem may cause the upstream neighbor to forward traffic
earlier than expected.
CR 31830: DVMRP.
In dvmrp_cache.c line 800, dvmrp panics because g_fwd returns
non-zero return code, indicating g_fwd failure.
CR 33030: DVMRP.
Watch dog timeout error occurs in dvmrp vif route proxy MIB. DVMRP proxy MIB
Get Next routines use unsigned int32 to hold the key length to
check the looping conditions. The key length number increases after subtracting 1
from the passed_in id length, which was 0, causing an infinite
loop under certain conditions.
CR 33860: IP.
The IP ping round-trip times are incorrect. The IP ping reports one
millisecond or occasionally 999 milliseconds, regardless of the
actual latency. This affects both the TI ping command and the ping
MIB.
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 31028: IP.
A graft is not sent toward the source when a DVMRP interface becomes
available after resetting a slot. A graft must be sent to undo the prune
that was sent (correctly) when the slot was reset. Failure to send
this graft results in multicast traffic not being forwarded out the
recovered slot for the duration of prune time to live (default 5
minutes). This is the same issue described by CR32578.
CR 33612: DVMRP.
No graft is sent after a dependent downstream router on a pruned
branch restarts. Failure to send a graft when a
dependent neighboring router restarts can result in multicast
traffic not being forwarded for the duration of the prune (cache)
timer.
CR 34272: Technician Interface.
When viewing a filter through Site Manager, if you click on OK, Site
Manager deletes and then adds the filter. When Site Manager tries to
read the filter, the log reports the following message:
# 9: 01/05/98 19:21:02.304 DEBUG SLOT 9 TF Code:2
tf_validate: header size invalid, Object 4.1.18.3.5.1.4.3.1,
Instance 29.1.1
The severity of this message should be changed from DEBUG to WARNING
because the filter no longer works.
CR 31530: Router Discovery
Setting the Min and Max Interval to the same value for the
Discovery router causes a zero divide bus error in the log.
CR 34336: DVMRP.
Mask entries are not deleted from routes_by_mask_utbl in the base
environment. Mask entries should be deleted if they do not have
pointers to any routes in the main routing table.
CR 35156: DECnet
Router does not advertise itself when a global route is set to level 1
only.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Revision 10.01/12 corrects the following problem:
=============================================================
No CR: ASN.
The checksum on the ASN may become corrupted, preventing the ASN
router from booting. To correct the problem, upgrade your current
asnboot.exe file to version /rev/10.01/12 and your current
asndiag.exe file to version 2.28.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Revision 10.01/11 corrects the following problems: ============================================================= CR 33910: SYSLOG.
A bus error may occur when you telnet to a router on which SYSLOG
and WCP is enabled.
CR 33853: DLSw.
The router faults when the MIB object wfDlsConnectionEntry is aged
out.
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 33711: DLSw.
When you disable TCP on a router configured with 500 or more
DLS connections, some connections remain active. The
router transmits RR’s or RNR’s to the local station continually,
possibly preventing the host from realizing that the connection
has gone down.
CR 33995: IPX.
The batch file ipx.bat incorrectly indexes circuits that are
missing from the wfCircuitNameEntry. When a circuit is created
and subsequently deleted, the wfCircuitNameEntry can become non-
contiguous. If you use the IPX.bat to enable or disable any of the
IPX circuits that are greater in value than the circuit
(wfCircuitNameEntry) that was deleted, an error indicating that
the IPX circuit xxx is not found or the wrong one (previous) is set.
CR 34018: GAME.
A debug message causes confusion between fault and debug code,
resulting in stack dumps.
CR 27162: IP.
The router produces a watchdog error in r_next_range.
CR 34161: LLC.
Deleting an interface configured with LLC2 causes Site Manager
to set the LLC base record to delete, which unloads LLC from the
slot, causing a bus error to occur.
CR 24909: Flash.
Routers will not boot with Router Software Version 8.12/11 and
later using Hitachi Maxell type flash cards.
CR 33957: MCTE1.
If you run install.bat on an ASN router with an MCE1 interface
and you try to configure it, you are not prompted for a WAN
protocol (for example, Frame Relay, Standard, or PPP).
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.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Revision 10.01/10 corrects the following problems: ============================================================= CR 32246: ATM.
A problem exists in 10.01 where a VBM error is detected, causing
the BN router to fault when AppleTalk is configured on an ATM/ARE
interface configured with AURP.
CR 30810: GAME.
A PPP link over DOD fails to activate on an ASN router configured
with special hardware (32MB RAM, 1 Quad-BRI, 1 or no other
module). The ASN router shows different types of error messages
usually associated with LCP failure and or buffer
starvation.
CR 31710: GAME.
A problem exists in router software version 8.12 through 11.01/1
in which a gate that exists is being killed by other slots after
having already been killed by the original slot.
CR 33025: DLSw.
After terminating a DLS connection entry between a PC3270 and
a host, the MIB variable wfDlsConnectionConnectionCct is set to 0.
CR 32544: LLC.
When dynamically deleting and then re-adding DLS or APPN to an
interface, LLC2 will intermittently fail to come up. To activate
the LLC2 interface, you must globally bounce LLC.
CR 32778: Frame Relay.
An problem exists in 10.01 in which wfSyncLackRescTx is
incrementing too frequently when Protocol Priority is enabled.
Protocol Priority should check to see how many buffers are
available on the TX descriptor queue and then place only that
number of buffers on the descriptor ring.
CR 32927: DECnet.
DECnet may periodically send out an invalid packet instead of a
full routing update.
CR 33729: DLSw.
A router configured with DLSw over ATM Lane circuits experiences
faults.
CR 32400: OSPF.
When an intra path to an ASBoundary router changes, an ASB Summary
LSA update routine will not be called unless the intra path is the
best route.
CR 30313: OSPF.
MAX aged LSA’s (3600) are not being flushed from LSDB’s after
disabling (power down) one of the ABR's in a dual ABR.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Revision 10.01/9 corrects the following problems: ============================================================= CR 31179: IPX.
High CPU utilization during IPX updates may lead to out-of-buffer
faults.
CR 32284: OSPF.
A problem exits in router software versions 10.01 and later,
11.00 and later, and 11.01 and later, in which OSPF crashes if
you configure announce policies on the router to aggregate
external class C networks into class B or class A networks.
CR 31900: IP.
A problem exists in software version 11.01 using an ARE board in
which the router decrements the TTL by 2. This problem occurs only
when you enable an IP traffic filter on the ARE interface.
CR 32046: Source Route Bridge.
If you disable the Source Route Bridge (SRB) base when booting the
router, a bus error may occur.
CR 32155: Source Route Bridge.
If you enter an invalid Source Router Bridge (SRB) interface Ring
ID, an invalid SRB bridge ID, or an invalid SRB internal LAN ID
using the Technician Interface, an orphan buffer occurs.
CR 30411: DLSw.
Enhancement request to remove a single DLS connection from a DLS
router. Currently, if a single connection hangs, you must globally
disable and reenable DLS to clear the connection. This feature
should be provided via a MIB set, and does not need to be
available using Site Manager.
CR 31178: IPX.
The IPX ping request packet length is 37 bytes even though the
length field indicates a packet length of 36.
CR 31702: DLSw.
Terminating NetBIOS over DLSw on an ARE interface LEC causes a
Midpage Read Error to occur.
CR 28711: GAME.
CR 27869
The router restarts with a "System restart in tmo_wdog.c at line 70"
message after several CANUREACH messages.
CR 29066: DLSw.
If a station receives two RIFs at the same time, the second RIF
will be cached instead of the first.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Revision 10.01/8 corrects the following problems: ============================================================= CR 30791: ATM.
Routers running router software 10.00 or later will fail to
acknowledge LE_ARP responses from the C100, causing intermittent
connectivity problems between the router and the switch.
CR 29796: SWSERV.
The second SPID registration fails after a line failure.
CR 31517: ATM LANE.
Routers running router software 10.00 or later will fault on the
ARE interface upon receipt of an IP multicast packet.
CR 19627: GAME.
If A BN router contains only an ARE (and its link module) without a
Flash card and no other boards in any other slot, the router will
not boot.
CR 31177: ATM.
Bridge frames are not being forwarded over ATM PVCs defined as
Hybrid Mode using 1490 encapsulation.
CR 29985: Telnet.
When using the console dial-up terminal window to telnet to a
another system and the telnet connection disconnects unexpectedly,
you are unable to reestablish the call.
CR 29113: GAME.
When a router configured for end station support receives an ARP
request for one of its interfaces with a RIF, the router responds
correctly to the ARP request and prints the same log message
repeatedly until it eventually experiences a bus error.
CR 17128: ISDN_DRVR.
The command "show isdn bri stats" is unable to retrieve B
channel statistics using ISDN scripts. Instead, it retrieves only
the D channel statistics.
CR 30445: DLSw.
After deleting llc2 from an Ethernet interface on which DLSw was
configured, the router experienced a bus error. Following the bus
error, devices on this interface fail to respond to a ping command.
CR 31259: Switched Services.
The second SPID registration fails after a line failure.
CR 27393: Learning Bridge.
If you have Learning Bridge (LB) running on a router with at least
1 learning bridge interface configured and you dynamically disable
LB then add another LB interface on another slot, the router
experiences a bus error.
CR 30410: Source Route Bridge.
If you have Source Route Bridge (SRB) running on a
router with at least 1 source route bridge interface configured
and you dynamically disable SRB then add another SRB interface on
another slot, the router experiences a bus error.
CR 26360: PPP.
A router experiences a watchdog error during LCP Configure
negotiation.
CR 24812: TI_RUI.
An IPX ping of 8 bytes causes a bus error to occur on AN, ASN, and
BN routers. The router should log a "does not respond" message
when the MAC address is greater the 6 bytes.
CR 29858: ARE.
The ARE experiences a VBM error when processing a UDP checksum.
CR 28876: DLSw.
When a router receives TEST-P and then TEST-F with an invalid
destination MAC address of 0x000000000000, a bus error occurs.
CR 31926: Translation Bridge.
Translation Bridge (XB) may stop caching RIFs.
CR 29988: APPN.
When you configure an AN router for a GAME buffer size of 1824
(default), an APPN ping of 1500 bytes causes a FAULT (nbase
ASSERT) in the function nba_alloc_inter_msg.
CR 32016: NBIP.
A bus error can occur in the NetBIOS over IP when caching MIB
support is enabled. This failure occurs after you restart or reboot
a slot on a router.
CR 31856: SMDS.
The router is unable to forward IP datagrams to destinations
using an SMDS link when the datagram size (beginning with IP
header and including payload) is exactly 54 or 55 bytes less than
the configured MTU on the SMDS interface of each of the routers.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Revision 10.01/7 corrects the following problems: ============================================================= CR 29704: LNM.
The Timer Error Report value should be set to 2 seconds;
currently this value is set to 0.3 seconds, which fails to
comply with the 802.5 standard.
CR 28588: Frame Relay.
After bouncing one line of a multiline between Frame Relay switch
and the router, IP routes learned by RIP disappear from the
routing table.
CR 29616: Frame Relay--Multiline.
CR 29617
When you configure Frame Relay for multiline with Random Base
distribution on a router running software version 10.00, IP RIP
uses only one of the Available Data Paths and switches to the
other Data Path if the first Data Path’s PVC becomes inactive.
CR 29856: IPX.
A problem exists in routers running software version 10.01 or later
in which IPX static routes are advertised with incorrect costs.
This problem occurs in environments where servers use tick cost to
calculate the expected response time for a connection and
determine retransmission times.
CR 27632: DLSw.
NetBIOS sessions may fail to establish through DLSw if the client
sends the "name query" message to the server’s unicast MAC address
rather than to the NetBIOS functional address.
CR 29243: TCP.
If a TCP session does not receive the correct sequence when a
connection is being established, the router leaves the connection
entry in a listening mode. This causes memory to be allocated for a
connection that should be inactive.
CR 29529: OSPF.
OSPF may cause a bus error when bouncing IP in two remote AS
boundary routers.
CR 29654: BF/ARE.
The ARE transmit ATMizer periodically sends a series of cells
that exceed its configured PCR rate. This condition occurs every
5-6 minutes when under constant load.
CR 28165: IPX.
IPX series 10 and higher does not support Novell encapsulation
on a synchronous line. A log warning message appears in the log if
it is configured.
CR 29992: NVFS.
The 6Mb SRAM card from Centennial Technologies does not work with
the BNX or router software.
CR 29201: Translation Bridge.
28829:
When an translation bridge circuit goes down, the learning bridge
forward table is flushed, but the translation bridge RIF cache
remains intact. A new RIF will not be learned until the RIF ages
out (default of 5 minutes), thereby causing AREs to be sent out
until the RIF ages out.
Also, when the LEARN message is sent to the learning bridge, the
the local slot learns the address immediately, causing ARE's to be
sent out until the remote slot learns the address.
CR 29587: BGP.
When you bounce TCP, IP base, or BGP base on a remote router, BGP
fails with an exception vector 2 bus error in
bgp_process_changed_network. The router has learned approximately
1000 routes from its BGP peer.
CR 27185: BGP.
A watchdog occurred in BGP during testing. The router on which
the error occurred was configured with 100 IP routes in its table
and was running OSPF.
CR 29894: Technician Interface.
Ping calculates the average response time by dividing the total
trip times by the number of attempts, not the number of successes.
CR 19992: Technician Interface.
The ping command does not report "service not running" if you use
the -AT or -VINES option and the corresponding service is inactive.
CR 19627: Token Ring.
When generating a source route frame from WALTS that is destined
for a source routing segment on the AN router, the AN router
faults in timac_drv.c line 778.
CR 30266: Source Route Bridge.
A problem exists in router software version 10.01 and later in
which a bus error can occur on a router that has received frames
destined for a frame relay source route interface while that
interface is still initializing.
CR 30080: DLSw.
The ARE will experience the fault "BB Read of Guard page.
Not Valid. VBM error detected" when DLSw is terminated on the ATM
interface on the router. The event log periodically displays the
following message: "TXAP detected a start offset error".
CR 27641: DECnet.
When you change the DECnet cost or priority in dynamic mode on a
PPP line, the router generates faults and a tag violation error.
CR 29633: Frame Relay.
In a Frame Relay environment, if the switch is using Rev1 LMI as
the management type, the packet format will contain the Receive
bit (R-bit) as one of the detail parameters on the address field
of the Frame Relay packet. The R-bit is designed to alert the
router of a congestion state. A customer is requesting that the
R-bit be made optional.
CR 30142: DLSw.
Defining DLS on an emulated LAN can prevent an SNA session between
an IBM host and PC3270 client from passing I-frames.
CR 30440: ISDN.
Bouncing an ISDN BRI interface to a Teleos switch (either DMS100
or NI1) on an ASN router from the Technician Interface causes
SPIDs to be rejected.
CR 29252: APPN.
When you activate an implicit link station with a DSPU and you
configure the corresponding APPN interface to support HPR for
implicit link stations, the hpr_supported parameter in the ls_cb
for this link station is not cleared. When the link station is
deactivated, the ncs_reset_ls() function faults.
Subsequent attempts to restart the APPN causes disconnects to be
sent to all the devices on the Token Ring.
CR 30539: OSPF.
OSPF interface adjacencies can get stuck in the Exchange state
during the OSPF neighbor negotiations.
CR 30368: OSPF.
After rebooting their AS boundary router, the IP routing table
retains all the valid external RIP learned routes. However,
some AS External type 2 links in the LSDB might be missing.
CR 30418: OSPF.
Changing an interface type from Point-to-Point to Broadcast in
remote mode using Site Manager version 5.01 sets the MIB to
invalid. However, you can perform the same operation successfully
in dynamic mode.
CR 30600: IPX.
IPX may experience VBM errors while processing NetBIOS packets
because IPX is reusing a pointer to a buffer that has just been
sent.
CR 28269: MIB.
tenbasetduplexcongctrl(6) and hundredbasetxduplexcongctrl(7) are
not implemented by wfCSMACDLineCapability, thereby preventing you
from setting ifType and ifSpeed to the appropriate values for full
duplex with a congestion control interface.
CR 30182: ARP.
An HP Probe frame causes a broadcast storm to occur in a looped
bridge network with spanning tree configured.
CR 30723: OSPF.
OSPF externals derived from static routes age out of LSDB after
you reset OSPF.
CR 30702: IPX.
A problem exists in router software version 10.00 or later in which
a router may incorrectly pad an IPX frame that has on odd length
so that it has an even length upon transmission. The length field
in the IPX header remains unchanged, however, the frame contains an
extra random byte at the end. This problem occurs on interfaces
configured for LSAP or for SNAP encapsulation.
CR 29797: ATM.
When you dynamically change ATM attributes, the ATM trunk fails.
CR 29081: GAME.
When a DS3 TX or RX cable (but not both) is disconnected locally
from either the DS3 telco termination point or from the DS3
interface, the DS3 driver fails to recognize that the device is
down and all upper layer protocols (such as, IP) remain operational.
CR 28015: Modem Interface.
A modem fails to answer incoming calls when the RTS and DTR
signals on the console port are in the Mark state. You must
bounce the Console or Modem Enable function to cause RTS and DTR
to transition back into the Space state, at which point it will
answer incoming calls.
CR 30587: PPP.
PPP over multiline stops working, preventing IPCP from
negotiating.
CR 30361: MIB.
A problem exists within the mapping of the external clock speed in
wfSyncEntry to the MIB II equivalent parameter. Normally, when the
clock source is set to external, the clock speed that is shown in
wfSyncEntry.93.* should be mapped over to MIB II’s ifEntry.5.*
(clockspeed).
CR 29971: NML.
Corrupted unicast traffic may be transmitted onto a FDDI ring by a
router configured for NML on the FDDI interface.
CR 31005: ATM.
IPX ping fails to respond on an ATM PVC interface after the
initial IPX ping was successful.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Revision 10.01/6 corrects the following problems: ============================================================= CR 26327: Switched Services.
A dial on demand connection cannot be established on an ISDN BRI
(DMS100) line once the router has lost connection with the ISDN
switch.
CR 27336: SYSL.
Using the SYSLOG feature of router code, the log file gets copied
to a UNIX workstation, but all of the details do not get copied
into the SYSLOG log file in the UNIX workstation.
CR 25634: Learning Bridge.
Bridge traffic filters do not correctly filter NetBIOS multicast
traffic.
CR 27674: XB.
When you configure two interfaces with Source Route Bridge (SRB),
Translation Bridge (XB), and Learning Bridge (LB), an All Routes
Explorer (ARE) received on one interface will cause two AREs to be
forwarded out the second interface. The first ARE is a
straight source route frame, while the second contains the XB
Virtual Ring number. As a result, XB causes an significant
increase in broadcast traffic, which is unnecessary.
CR 28306: ATM.
Disabling and then reenabling the IP base causes a bus error on an
ATM slot configured for Ethernet LAN emulation along with DLSw.
CR 27182: OSPF.
A problem exists in which the router will advertise the external
forward address correctly if the interface to the external has
OSPF enabled and operational. However, if you disable OSPF on that
interface (that is, OSPF is not running on the interface that
the external is pointing to), the external forward address will
still be advertised. The forward address should be 0.0.0.0, not
non-zero, since there is no OSPF running on the interface that the
forward address points to.
CR 27425: ISDN_DRVR.
The fault at isac_host2cop.c line 847 occurs on ASN router
equipped with two quad BRI modules and configured with more than
four BRI leased lines.
CR 25310: ISDN.
A router shows a gradual depletion of free memory when an
ISDN PRI line remains operational, even when the number of lines
is constant and no traffic is being transmitted through the line.
The rate of depletion is about 450 bytes/min. ISDN BRI does not
exhibit this behavior.
CR None: IPX.
A router configured with router software version 9.02 or later
processes SAPS for only one host at a time. The router responds to
each of the hosts sequentially and will not respond to the next
host until the entire SAP table has been set to the previous
host. This creates a problem when multiple requests are received
and the router has a large SAP table.
CR 27758: Translation Bridge.
The frame that the translation bridge sends to the Ethernet
contains invalid data in the LLC header.
CR 27853: VINES.
VINES will experience a memory leak in vines_reassembly_act when
there is a large routing table and several neighbors on the same
LAN are using sequenced RTP updates.
The amount of memory lost and the rate at which it is lost is
proportional to the size of the network, the amount of neighbors
on the LAN and the stability of the network. It is when full
sequenced RTP updates are received that memory is consumed.
CR 27559: IP.
The Enable/Disable IP interface script does not work on multinetted
interfaces. When you issue the command "disable ip circuit
<circuit name>", it disables only the first instance of the
specified circuit. This applies to the Enable script too.
CR 27632: DLSw.
NetBIOS sessions may fail to establish through DLSw if the client
sends the "name query" message to the server’s unicast MAC address
rather than to the NetBIOS functional address.
CR 28979: GAME.
bm_buf_dump() checks to ensure that each address is within a page
boundary before proceeding to read a long word. But it fails to
check the address that reads data between pages, thereby causing
the Mid page fault.
CR 28247: Frame Relay.
Routers running router software version 10.0 and later check for a
destination hardware address of the inverse ARP reply packet, and
if it is different from its own hardware address, it drops the
reply.
CR 28696: EZ Internetwork.
If you add an IP address to the BOOTP Client Interface Table that
is not the same subnet as the interface over which the BOOTP
request was received, then EZ-Install fails.
CR 28607: ATM.
Transparent bridging between Ethernet and FDDI over an ATM PVC
does not work when running router software version 9.01 and
later. The router forwards multicast and broadcast traffic (IP
RIP, RIP2, BPDUs) correctly, but not unicast traffic.
CR 28276: OSPF.
A problem exists in which the routing table shows OSPF external
routes with the wrong next hop. This can be seen with two routers
configured back to back over Frame Relay, with one router
advertising the externals to the other router over this Frame
Relay link. The downstream router's routing table will contain
external routes with the next hop of its local FR interface,
thereby preventing the downstream router from communicating to
all external routes learned over this interface.
CR 27543: BOOT.
After you perform a named boot on a BCN router, the ARE processor
will not find the default software image (bn.exe) on same the slot
on which the named boot was performed. The ARE will search all
other slots for the bn.exe image if it cannot find the named boot
image file on the slot from which it originally booted.
CR 28296: BOOTP.
When you set the broadcast bit in a BOOTP reply packet to 1, the
router acting as a relay agent should send out the DHCP message as
an IP broadcast using an IP broadcast address as the destination
address and the link-layer broadcast address as the link-layer
destination address (RFC 1541, Sec 4.1, Droms). However, the
router uses the client hardware address, not the link-layer
broadcast address.
CR 28945: IPX.
The router fails to respond to an IPX GNS or GSQ if the query
comes in over an ATM PVC.
CR 28556: GAME.
A customer requests that users have access privileges for loadmap
to enable those who do not have Manager access to the router
to be able to do loadmaps (especially in light of protocols
unloading on routers).
CR 18964: GAME.
The router causes the log to wrap with the following "mapping"
message:
# 55: 09/20/95 17:46:14.056 DEBUG SLOT 1 GAME Code: 87
mapping [0x31710fd4] of dying 0x02063 @ 0x0badadde survived
(owner=0x00401 @ 0x30089b62, map_act=0x300b6826,
gh=0x3164f150- >0x00002063)
CR 29440: DLSw.
Two Windows NT terminals using NetBIOS to connect to one router
simultaneously select a Lotus Notes server connected via a DLS peer
router. Sometimes one connection attempt times out.
CR 29075: ATM.
ARE E3 Interface needs to set the E3 G.832 Payload Type to "ATM"
instead of "Unequipped" to interoperate with the UT-XC
Italtel-Siemens ATM Switch.
CR 29398: TCP.
A watchdog timeout error, or an "out of memory condition" error,
occurred in routine tcp_get_stm.
CR 27187: Frame Relay.
A router (running 10.01 rev 1) continuously faults when
attempting to initialize a Frame Relay circuit if PVCs are
configured as invalid or inactive and the switch advertises the
PVC as active.
CR 27029: OSPF.
LSDB fails to remove external type 2 routes after they are removed
from the routing table.
CR 29234: NML.
NML still functions after it is dynamically disabled, preventing
bridged traffic from passing.
CR 29290: NML.
When creating an Ethernet interface with bridge and NML configured,
bouncing the interface or bridge will cause a bus error once the
interface becomes active and bridge and NML is operational.
CR 29589: Flash.
ATA Flash sometimes drops a word on large writes (crash dumps on
ARE’s).
CR 29384: ARE.
A LANE flush request is not compliant with the LANE 1.00
specification. The source-lan-destination field should be set to
0.
CR 28381: OSPF.
An OSPF Links State Advertisement may be continually retransmitted
every retransmit interval under certain conditions. This does not
cause loss of connectivity, but causes a small amount of
unnecessary OSPF traffic.
CR 28104: IGMP.
When a router receives consecutive LEAVE messages, it repeatedly
sets "group_time_left" to a certain value (default: 12 seconds)
to prevent the group from aging out until the host stops sending
these messages.
CR 26869: DLSw.
When you enter an instance ID in the get wfIpxServEntry
incorrectly, a tag violation occurs because of the incorrect name
length portion of the instance ID used to copy into a fix buffer.
CR 28412: Translation Bridge.
Translation Bridge logs the following messages when it drops the
frames from Source Route Bridge (SRB) because its SAP is not
configured in wfBrXbBaseSaps. SAP 80 is always reported regardless
of the SAP that is actually being dropped.
# 3: 11/26/96 10:14:59 DEBUG SLOT 1 SR Event Code: 106
XB dropping - SAP 80.
CR 29180: Router Redundancy.
A problem exists in router redundancy in which the secondary
router never fails over to the primary router. After the primary
line goes down, the routers proceed to boot as expected, swapping
roles. Shortly after the fail-over, the routers boot again and
continues in a boot-loop indefinitely.
CR 29341: IP.
A router configured with Token Ring ignores OSPF Hello messages
sent with a broadcast address of C000FFFFFFFF.
CR 29024: Learning Bridge.
An illegal instruction error may occur when Learning Bridge is
initializing on a router equipped with a FRE-II that is running
router software version 8.12 or later.
CR 28392: IP.
Source and Destination port added to Detailed Logging feature of
IP traffic filters.
CR 28843: Protocol Priority.
When you enable Protocol Prioritization, it is initialized as the
TCP connection to the router is established. However, because there
are two TCP connections associated with each DLS connection,
it tries to initialize ppri twice, causing a MIB error to occur
the second time.
CR 29796: SWSERV.
The second SPID registration fails after a line failure.
CR 29006: Frame Relay.
Frame corruption occurs while running Frame Relay on a
Transparent bridge between Ethernet and FDDI.
CR 28383: Technician Interface.
A router experiences random faults and slot resets while using
the Technician Interface on an ARE slot.
CR 27613: ATM.
When attempting to join multiple (5)ELANs (on a C100), an HP
ATM Analyzer on the line indicates that the router is not
responding to incoming SETUP’s (usually from the BUS) for
approximately 4-5 seconds.
CR 30015: AppleTalk.
A g_fwd fault can occur on a BCN router running AppleTalk on all
slots when a slot gets busy or is reset.
CR None: DLSw/TCP.
Throughput degradation in DLSw TCP file transfers.
CR 29504: X.25.
An X.25 IP local address is disabled when a service record is
deleted even though there are still some service records remaining.
============================================================= Revision 10.01/5 corrects the following problems: ============================================================= CR 27247:
27251: DLSw.
Dynamically adding a local device to a multidrop SDLC line does
not work.
CR 27052: IP.
IP fragmentation does not work properly when using SNAP
encapsulation over Ethernet.
CR 27418: DLSw.
After you establish an active session across a network and then
delete a local device associated with this session, the
session fails to disconnect (remains active).
This condition occurs with secondary and primary local devices. CR 27419: DLSw.
An active session running on a local device does not disconnect
when you disable the session.
CR 26125: DLSw.
A Walts script that is driving the automat generates 500 test
polls per second with the destination address equal to that of the
host and a unique source address. After a few minutes of
operation, the router experiences a watchdog error.
CR 27479: DLSw.
A NetBIOS name query is sent through a router to its destination
but the destination fails to respond. Subsequent name queries sent
less that 5 seconds apart are dropped.
CR 26467: APPN.
A tag violation occurs when you attempt to ping a router configured
with APPN over SDLC.
CR 26578: IP.
A problem exist in 10.00 or later where entries in the ARP cache
do not get removed after you change the wfIpNetToMediaType
attribute from dynamic to invalid.
CR 27483: ATM.
An ARE router experiences an VBM error on a slot when routing
between 1577 IP and LANE on the same port and when certain traffic
conditions are present.
CR 27114: TCP.
The router software does not close TCP connections according to the
RFC. This causes problems when interoperating with products
intolerant to variations on the connection close protocol
specified by the TCP RFC.
