============================================================================= REVISION NOTES FOR BAYRS VERSION 12.05 REVISION 1 ============================================================================= Site Manager compatibility: BayRS version is managed by Site Manager version 12.05 Revision 1 --------------------> 6.05 Revision 1 12.05 Revision 1 is Year 2000 Compliance Certified by Nortel Networks. It has successfully passed Nortel Networks Test Procedure which tests conformance to Nortel Networks Year 2000 compliance definition, both of which can be found at Nortel Networks Year 2000 Web site at http://www.nortelnetworks.com/corporate/ year2000/. ================================================================ 12.05 Revision 1 corrects the following problems: ================================================================ CR 30736: XB When an SRF is received on a router interface which has both PPP and Wellfleet Std. circuits configured for source route bridge/ translation bridge, a bus error occurs. CR 32268: X.25 Datagram larger than 1915 bytes causes IP fragmentation problems. CR 33564: DVMRP The "ip dvmrp_caches" command should support pattern matching. CR 33567: DVMRP The "ip mtm" command should support pattern matching. CR 34438: Protocol Priority When an outbound protocol priority SNA traffic filter is enabled on a sync circuit, attempting to communicate over the circuit can cause the sync state to report the circuit as down until the traffic filter is disabled. CR 76003: ATM After a physical disconnect on an ATM interface, the ifEntry instance is removed. CR 87367: X.25 While restarting many IPEX sessions, a fault occurs. CR 87580: IP In an environment where thousands of routes are flapping often, it’s possible for BGP to mark a route as unreachable, and then as reachable, before IP has had a chance to completely finish updating all slots with the unreachable information. This can cause a bus error on the router. CR 87645: 100BASE-T Lancast 100BASE-T transceiver fails operating system diagnostics. CR 87801: N/A The operational status of the second Ethernet port of a dual 100BASE-T card does not display correctly. CR 87829: PPP After a successful CHAP authentication on a PPP leased line connection to a router supporting only inbound authentication, a bus error occurs. CR 88495: X.25 When you configure a small number of virtual circuits when starting X.25, an insufficient quantity of PDU buffers is made available. CR 88632: ARN boot PROM ARN fails to boot intermittently due to erroneous entry into diagnostic mode. ARN boot PROMs need to be upgraded to version 1.27. CR 89524: IPX When deleting IPX from an Ethernet circuit under load, there are numerous virtual buffer memory errors and bus errors. CR 89702: MIB II When a physical connection to a 100BASE-T Ethernet or gigabit interface goes down the instance associated with that interface disappears in the wfIfEntry MIB as well as the MIB-II ifEntry. CR 90108: IPX RCONSOLE and some Lotus Notes applications do not work when IPX traffic traverses a DOD hot standby circuit. CR 93222: DVMRP Disconnecting the Ethernet cable from a router causes a watchdog timeout as soon as the router cleans up its DVMRP route entry. CR 93483: GAME When polling the router log every second for an extended period of time on a node with interfaces configured as either an ATM interworking or an ATM trunk, the ATM slot can reset. CR 96189: IP Routers configured for IP RIP announce policy filters to only advertise one route with a particular metric may advertise the route as unreachable. This occurs when the Networks List of the policy is empty, indicating that the policy should match all routes in the routing table. It appears that if the first route in the routing table is unreachable, the network(s) in the Advertise List are also advertised as unreachable, rather than being advertised with the metric specified in the policy. CR 99067: OSPF Under heavy CPU utilization, OSPF may fault. CR 100000: ATM Sending large packets through an ATM PVC that is overutilized and clipping frames on transmission will cause a virtual buffer memory error. CR 100556: ATM Router does not respond or challenge an LE_NARP request for its interface MAC address. CR 101014: IPX Disabling split horizon sometimes creates a corrupted IPX host entry table on adjacent routers. CR 101568: PPP When the IP interface of a Cisco router is shut down in a multilink with a Nortel Networks router, the Nortel Networks router shows extra lines when it is reenabled. CR 102358: DLSw The router does not establish a connection with RFC 1795 due to SDLC maximum data size being hard coded to 512 bytes. When this occurs the host receives the test poll with the small LF, it then sends an XID with a maximum I-frame bits also set to 516 bytes and the XID negotiation fails. CR 102428: VINES The router is installing its own VINES NetID as next hop after receiving a redirect with its own NetID as the gateway which corrupts the VINES route table. CR 102477: VINES If VINES is disabled globally on a router in a redundant network, the network ID of that router will not be removed from its neighbor’s routing table, so that the neighboring router continues to advertise the router as reachable. CR 102685: VINES Connectivity may be lost to VINES routers or servers when a VINES router is bounced in a multipath environment. CR 102838: PPP A bus error occurs on the router during start up of a NetBIOS session while using SR/DLSw on the local TR interfaces with ISDN/BRI with MLPPP and WCP enabled, and with an outgoing traffic filter (log or NoCall/NoReset for OSPF or RIP). CR 103342: Technician Interface Running readexe bn.exe on a single-slot ARE BLN can cause a VBM error to occur if the More option is On and there is no session activity for 10 seconds. CR 103944: VINES VINES is sending ping responses with a calculated hop count rather than a max hop count. This causes packets to be zero-hop dropped on the return whenever there are multiple equal-cost paths with different hop counts. CR 104246: ATM The LE_ARP entry in the wfAtmLeArpEntry may point to a non-existent or released VC entry in the wfAtmVclConfEntry due to a timing issue. CR 104816: WCP When a router is configured with frame relay and WCP and is rebooted, a Bus Error or Tag Violation may occur if at the same time the FR link is unstable. CR 105045: BGP A fault may occur when deleting ATM PVC service record that is configured with BGP. CR 105280: IPEX The router can’t establish more than 10 sessions simultaneously. CR 105294: VINES VINES may go to buffer depletion for an extended period when configured in a redundant topology with equal cost routes. This generally occurs when disabling and reenabling multiple VINES routes that share a common segment or when rebooting multiple routers on a common segment. CR 105561: IPX Connectivity to the host is lost when a host entry still exists in the IPX host table even though packets can’t be forwarded to that host. Connectivity can also be lost when the host is no longer in the host table and it cannot be added again. CR 105577: SWSERV Toggling a primary circuit and a backup circuit causes a bus error to occur. CR 106013: BGP After the preferred route is lost, the BGP route does not propagate to other slots. The route only works on the interface that initiated the change. CR 106061: RIP Tag violations may occur on all IP slots when booting a router with RIP configured. CR 106374: SDLC When you restart TCP on an SDLC PU2.1 client to a token ring host, an orphan buffer fault occurs. CR 106602: Frame relay Performance on frame relay over HSSI suffers 50% of line speed with 64-byte packets. CR 106710: Spanning tree Need to remove spanning tree debug message. CR 106735: X.25 An interface configured with X.25 faults and resets during multiple call disconnect requests. CR 106781: Learning bridge When an ARE slot disconnects and resets, bridging performance is degraded until the bridge is restarted. CR 106868: SRB In a TR LAN emulation environment with source routing, the router may lose IP connectivity to an endstation when it gets the first frame from another endstation with a routing information field (RIF) and the direction bit set to backward. CR 106888: OSPF Disabling and reenabling an OSPF area using Site Manager in dynamic mode causes the Authorization Type not to form an adjacency between interfaces. CR 107143: ATM The router is not responding to LE_ARP destined for its own MAC address 802.5 elans. This condition affects performance because the router sends unnecessary traffic to other LECs and creates congestion on the bus. CR 107164: Frame relay Bus errors occur on the FRE processor before it goes into diag mode when you bring down a frame relay interface with an HSSI card configured with IP. This occurs whenever the router brings down the frame relay interface after not receiving the LMI status messages. CR 107477: DVMRP When a DVMRP interface is repeatedly bounced, data is not forwarded and the interface is not listed in outbound circuits of DVMRP cache or MTM cache. CR 107503: Telnet If a Telnet session is stopped while running a batch file, an error occurs on that router slot. CR 107515: IP When connecting to a circuitless IP address of a router using TCP, the router sets the TCP maximum segment size to 65501 which is not compliant with RFC 879. CR 107675: DVMRP When a non-dominant router becomes the dominant router and subordinate routers are contained in its loop neighbor list, the newly dominant router will not graft traffic. CR 107703: IGMP Multicast data packet gets duplicated on a DVMRP router where MTM has outbound cache entry on an inbound circuit. CR 107806: LLC The router does not respond to SABMEs with a UA (unnumbered acknowledgment) packet, which prevents DLSw traffic. CR 107829: OSPF In the link state database, the cost of an OSPF route to an aggregated group of networks is represented as the closest network interface. According to RFC 2328, the cost should instead be the distance to the furthest network out of the group of networks aggregated together. The new MIB attribute, wfOspfAggrUseMaxCost, allows you to determine whether to use the minimum or maximum cost. By setting this attribute to 1, you can enable the OSPF route cost to represent the distance to the furthest network in the aggregated group. Otherwise, accept the default, 2 (Disable), for the OSPF cost to represent the closest network in the group. CR 107938: ATM Router does not cleanup the ATM circuit when port is dynamically deleted using Site Manager. CR 108091: DVMRP Data can be lost when the router learns a subordinate route from one neighbor router and receives a poison reverse from another router that resides in its neighbor list. CR 108407: IP Extended traffic filters do not work on an ARE once greater than 31 filters have been added. CR 108597: DVMRP When an inbound cache is reused, a loss of data can occur. CR 108649: DVMRP The multicast table manager (MTM) cache can get out of sync: it represents an inbound interface using its outgoing slot mask even though the inbound interface doesn’t have any outgoing circuits. CR 108689: DVMRP The router discards the prune packet if an active prune from the downstream neighbor already exists. Traffic can also be blocked for a period if the new prune time value is less than the current prune time value. CR 108690: ATM If you delete an ATM interface from a router with the cable disconnected from the switch, then ifEntry will still show that the interface there. CR 108776: DVMRP A temporary data loss can occur when prune is sent with an incorrect time value that is smaller than current prune time value. CR 108850: DVMRP Outbound slot is not communicated to inbound slot, and data is lost as a result. CR 109311: IP The router sends unnecessary ICMP error messages in response to broadcasts received from a non-local source. CR 109636: MOSPF When there are more than 20 IGMP join entries defined, invoking the "show mospf fwd" command causes a bus error to occur on the router. CR 109640: MOSPF Invoking the "show mospf fwd" command does not show more than 13 downstream forwarding entries. CR 109873: TI-RUI Invoking the "save log" command through SNMP does not complete successfully and can cause a fault. CR 109909: Boot Booting the router multiple times with either a named boot file or typing "boot" causes orphan buffers in the log. Also, any router slots that do not contain a flash card will stop loading protocols. CR 110168: ATM Traffic originating from an 802.5 LEC with source route bridging does not utilize data direct VC. CR 110427: Filters After creating a traffic filter template with at least 22 IP ranges (any combo of source or destination addresses) and a TC destination port, then applying this filter to an Ethernet circuit configured for IP/RIP, the show ip traffic filter command yields results that make it look as if the filter is corrupt. CR 110783: ATM The LAN emulation client (LEC) responds to LE_ARP requests for LAN destinations it does not represent. CR 111085: CSMA/CD When two ARNs are connected back-to-back with a crossover cable and the user issues a warmboot on an ARN 10Mb/sec Ethernet port (motherboard or daughter card), the partner ARN never gets informed of the warmboot and IP doesn’t start on the partner router. CR 112123: DVMRP DVMRP may fault when deleting a cache entry. CR 112143: IGMP If you disable a multicast circuit where an IGMP static group is configured, this router sends prune to a neighboring router. Then, if you reenable that DVMRP circuit, the router keeps pruning traffic. CR 112282: DVMRP If you remove a downsteam neighbor, the router may fail to remove it from the DVMRP pruned neighbor list, causing temporary data loss. CR 112402: IPX When IPX attempts to initialize, a bus error occurs on the router. CR 112535: IP IP hosts on directly connected networks are unreachable from remote router slots. |
