=======================================================================
BayRS and BCC Version 14.00 Revision 1D9 corrects the following problems:
=======================================================================

CR 84897-2: OSPF
When a summary range with the same LSID is added to an ABR, other ABRs install the more specific routes, along with the summary route, even though the originating ABR is only propagating the summary range. Implementation of OSPF RFC 2328 Appendix E addresses this issue.

CR 93302-4: Telnet
Typing Control-U from a Telnet session at the login prompt causes the system to restart.

CR 97854-2: DECnet
If you reinitialize DECnet (by either disabling/reenabling the protocol or making dynamic changes) on a loaded router, DECnet processes hog buffers and cause faults.

CR 102630-1: ATM
When you use install.bat to configure an ATM interface, the error message for an incorrect ARP server network prefix has a typographical error (Network is spelled Netwok).

CR 106284-1: SWSERV
When you have a large number of DoD circuits, it takes more than 15 minutes for them all to come completely up.

CR 109182-1: IPEX
IPEX mapping entry configuration does not allow for an alternate TCP port for an alternate IP address to use if the primary TCP connection fails.

CR 110652-1: Technician Interface
Multiple login attempts to the router through the Technician Interface using a modem may cause the router to fault.

CR 111510-1: MIB2
When an orphan wfSyncEntry instance is present in the configuration, MIB2 ifEntry instances disappear.

CR 112002-1: OSPF
On a router with multiple interfaces configured with OSPF and ECMP, when one of these network links is disabled, the IP routing table continues to show the OSPF route.

CR 112135-1: X.25
When you configure 512 or more SVCs on an ASN with 32MB, a watchdog error occurs while the memory is being allocated and the router reboots.

CR 112741-1: PIM
When running PIM and a bootstrap router is elected that has a greater priority than one, the priority reported in the MIB flaps between one and the actual value.

CR 113597-2: IP
When interface redundancy is configured, the primary interface does not always come back up when the cable for the primary interface is disconnected and then reconnected.

CR 115874-1: DLSw_2.0
DLSW may fail to send test polls to the FEP after a line card is replaced by the Telco.

CR 117110-1: PPP
When the router receives a PPP protocol-reject from our peer through a dial line, the buffer is dropped, which causes the router to continue to send PPP config_requests.

CR 117385-2: IP
When you use host-only mode in conjunction with source route bridging in a token ring environment, and the port that has the management station connected comes up while receiving a stream of IP traffic, the router no longer replies from this address.

CR 118006-1: CSMACD
When you configure a 100Mb interface with install.bat the instance for wfCSMACDAutoNegEntry is not created, and the option to set Auto Negotiation is not available.

CR 118485-1: Technician Interface
Trying to change the user password when logged in as manager requires entering the old password. This is a problem if a FRE processor is put into the router and it already has a password.

CR 118824-1: GMT
When you try to set a +12 GMT, it reports an invalid date specification.

CR 119438-1: SNMP
Cannot specify the source address of the interface as the source IP address in the trap message. Enabling the MIB parameter wfSnmpMgrEntry.wfSnmpMgrCircuitlessTrap causes the router to use the configured circuitless IP address as the source address.

CR 119625-1: PPP
When you configure the PAP-password with more than 25 characters, PPP does not come up.

CR 119878-1: BootP_relay
A buffer leak occurs when excessive BootP/DHCP requests are sent to the router resulting in an out of buffer condition.

CR 120913-1: PING
Using the Ping MIB to do an IP Ping always shows the wfPingType as 0.

CR 121292-1: OSPF
When you boot with a configuration containing OSPF Area Range entries and/or NSSA Area entries, then save the configuration and run the report generator, the report contains the statement "record has unrecognized attributes."

CR 122267-1: MIB
The MIB attribute ifEntry.ifOutDiscards should be extended to include frame relay clipped frames. This would also include traffic shipping, whether enabled or disabled, and take into account protocol priority queuing.

CR 122581-1: Technician Interface
The TI welcome notice displays after the user autoscript is executed instead of after the user logs in before the autoscript is run.

CR 123084-2: DECnet
If more than 50 DECnet circuits are configured on a serial interface, configuring a DECnet interface on a second serial interface causes DECnet to fault on all slots where it is loaded.

CR 123455-1: X.25
The default packet length value displayed for the "show x25 lines" command is incorrect.

CR 124867-1: BCC
When a user logs into a router and uses the system command for manager-level privileges, the BCC responds that the user has insufficient privilege.

CR 125046-1: Technician Interface
When you configure a router with the BCC and not install.bat, the MIB variables wfSerialPortManagerAutoScript and wfSerialPortUserAutoScript are not set. This causes the Technician Interface autoscript file to exit before mounting the volume.

CR 125075-1: Boot PROM
The ARN router does not boot after a 14.00 PROM Diag PROM upgrade.

CR 125236-1: IPEX
When IPEX SVCs are active, disabling/reenabling the IP base causes a bus error.

CR 125873-1: Frame relay
The router faults under a heavy traffic load over a frame relay access line.

CR 126104-1: Technician Interface
The Technician Interface log command does not filter properly when the "-c<code> #" option is used with the "-f<severity>) option.

CR 126534-1: IP
Using wfIpBase.2.0 1;commit to disable/reenable IP does not reset the IP process on the router.

CR 126582-1: PIM
PIM is not creating the proper outbound interface mappings, causing multicast traffic to be dropped across some interfaces.

CR 126867-1: MOSPF
When there is a network topology change, duplicate data appears in downstream devices even after convergence is completed.

CR 127002-1: Hardware compression
Hardware compression does not come up under a heavy traffic load, causing the log to report diagnostic failure messages.

CR 127344-3: DVMRP
When the DVMRP inbound slot is hot-swapped, a bus error occurs on the DVMRP outbound slot.

CR 127375-1: IGMP Relay
When a breakdown on the primary upstream network occurs while the primary router link is active, data forwarding might stop while IGMP relay expects to receive traffic from this primary link. Enabling wfIgmpBasePerStreamRedundEnable causes the stream to fail over to a back link if the primary does not receive a stream for wfIgmpBaseRelayTimeoutValue. The router link switches back to primary when the primary network receives data again.

CR 127916-1: MCE1
The external clock source does not automatically switch from primary to secondary. When primary clock is disconnected, the clock switches to internal.

CR 128729-1: BootP_Relay
The router is dropping DHCPINFORM messages. These are new to RFC 2131.

CR 129054-1: AOT
Using BayRS AOT with a polled AOT device can result in a larger than expected response delay, which can cause the device to time out.

CR 129125-1: SRB
When running SR Spanning Tree on TR LANE circuits, the ARE slot may experience a fault when there is traffic present and the port state changes due to a downed link or router reboot.

CR 129141-1: WCP
When BOFLs are enabled on a PPP/WCP WAN link that has zeroes in bits 30 and 31 of its MAC address, then the BOFL packets that it generates are compressed by WCP on the remote peer, which causes PPP to send a protocol_reject.

CR 129382-1: ATM LANE
If a redundant LES/BUS is configured, the LEC may join the wrong manually configured LES.

CR 129480-1: BGP
A BGP route that goes unreachable then quickly reachable may be marked as BEST but not used by BGP although used by IP.

CR 129506-1: IP
Routers that have a static route to the host destination fail to respond to the trace route command.

CR 129791-1: IP
In a configuration where a Nortel BGP router on an AS boundary receives third party advertisements from two or more peers on other ASs, IP may ignore route submissions from BGP, causing the IP routing table to not be updated.

CR 130026-1: WCP
Hardware compression on frame relay corrupts the DLCI when the DLCI length is 3 or 4 bytes.

CR 130462-1: IPEX
If the synchronous interface configured with IPEX is bounced while processing traffic, a bus error occurs.

CR 130955-1: MIB
When running inst_arn.bat on an ARN, choosing the loop timing option as primary source clock would set wfDs1E1PrimaryClockEntry to 1 instead of 3.

CR 130966-1: ISDN
If "Force Take Down" is enabled and there are two active lines within the ISDN/PPP/DOD/BOD multilink bundle, a bus error occurs.

CR 131619-2: IP
Bouncing IP on a heavily loaded slot may cause a "Reliable Message to IP Routing Table Manager Failed" message to be logged, resulting in connectivity issues.

CR 131908-1: Technician Interface
When you log into the Technician Interface console you should be able to specify the -noscript flag, which stops the automgr.bat file from running.

CR 132055-1: VRRP
VRRP with multinetting on the ATM TR LANE interface causes faults.

CR 132196-1: Frame relay
A MIB variable is required to enable and disable the processing of asynchronous status messages.

CR 132601-1: VRRP
With VRRP configured, the VNR router may fault.

CR 133045-1: DVMRP
After you configure DVMRP unicast policies, multicast forwarding stops.

CR 133486-2: Frame relay
If one DLCI becomes inactive, IP traffic stops on the frame relay interface.

CR 133510-1: Frame relay
When the remote PVC goes down, the log does not provide an Info event message to say that the DLCI is inactive. The log does provide an Info event message when the DLCI becomes active.

CR 135303-1: ISDN
Need the ability to screen out certain types of calling numbers. Set wfIsdnSwitchCfg.wfIsdnSwitchAllowedScreeningBits to the value of the screening bits allowed.

CR 133691-1: TCP
A fault occurs if TCP fails to respond to a request.

CR 134231-1: WCP
If you have some ports configured with WCP and frame relay and other ports on the same slot configured without WCP, the ports without WCP configured do not come up.

CR 134358-1: VRRP
Dynamically configuring VRRP on a token ring ELAN with multinetting may cause an master control processor fault.

CR 134581-1: DVMRP
When upgrading from BayRS 12.00 to 13.10 or greater, DVMRP announce policies no longer work correctly. Configuration changes are needed to correct this. As of BayRS 13.10, announce policies are per interface (not per circuit) and the announce list is left empty upon upgrade.

CR 134594-1: DVMRP
During DVMRP configuration changes, a DVMRP fault may occur.

CR 135080-1: DVMRP
After a DVMRP accept policy with an action of ignore is applied to a dependent source network, an upstream neighbor continues to see a downstream router as a dependent downstream router.

CR 135568-1: CSMACD
When you enable or disable a quad 10/100BASE-T Ethernet port on the router, an exception error occurs.

CR 135570-1: DVMRP
When you disable a DVMRP announce policy, DVMRP restarts, sometimes resulting in router inconsistencies on interfaces for the local DVMRP sources.

CR 135795-1: DVMRP
After disabling and reenabling a DVMRP announce policy, DVMRP base may show as being in a disabled state, although there are no connectivity issues.

CR 136874-1: ATM
ATM continuously releases a virtual circuit that no longer exists.

CR 137102-1: WCP
When hardware client compression fails and the WAN Compression Protocol (WCP) switches from hardware to software compression, the DLCMI headers of data packets are corrupted.
