Revision Notes for Router 10.0 rev 2

=============================================================================
                       SITE MANAGER COMPATIBILITY
=============================================================================



       Router Version       is managed by          Site Manager version
                                                                             
       v10.0 revision 2 --------------------------> V4.00, 4.00 rev 2
              

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Revision 10.0/2 corrects the following problems:
=============================================================================

CR 17058: VINES.
          After removing a local memory segment, the pointers were not set
          correctly, preventing the allocation of new buffers. Instead,
          memory that had been freed was being corrupted.

CR None:  VINES.
          A router may experience memory loss or corruption when numerous
          VINES routes are aged simultaneously.

CR 21639: X.25.
          A panic in mib_ent.c occurs when you add or delete X.25 VCs.
          VCs get added and deleted when sessions are being added or timed
          out or when a router tries to start a session to a remote site but
          the remote end is not operational.  

CR 22166: IP.
          When you attempt to restart BGP on a router with a large IP routing
          table that contains more than 1700 cached networks entries, a 
          watchdog timer expires, causing the router to fault.
 
CR 22611: DVMRP.
          Routers configured for DVMRP/IGMP will not send out prune messages
          after the DVMRP/IGMP interface bounces, causing the 
          transmission of unnecessary multicast packets onto the networks.

CR 22789: ATM.
          A periodic virtual buffer memory error may occur in routers 
          containing 10 or more LAN emulation clients running both IP and IPX.
          This error may result in IP failing to restart on the LEC interfaces
          or the LEC interfaces failing to restart altogether.

CR 21767: OSI.
          Router fails to respond to an OSI ping over PPP after the
          synchronous line is bounced.

CR 22686: DLSw.
          If a DLS connection gets reestablished through a different
          interface on the same slot, the DLS Connection entry does not
          get updated.

CR 22348: Technician Interface.
          The ATM install script, install.bat, resets the ATM address User
          Part to zero when you do not use autogeneration and when you enter
          the optional network prefix.

CR 22750: Telnet.
          When the Telnet Client fails to set the "Push Bit" correctly during
          Terminal Type Negotiations, Telnet sessions may not get established.

CR 20863: DECnet.
          If you bounce a DECnet circuit while it is learning adjacencies,
          bus errors may occur.

CR 21691: DLSw.
          When you configure a DLSw filter with the action "Forward to
          Peer", any matching packet is not forwarded. The log indicates
          that the filter rule matched successfully, but shows an
          invalid IP address. 

CR 22681: Frame Relay Switch.
          The Stats File has the same start time for each record it creates.
          The start time stamp in the Stats file header should be
          based on the last time stamp the stats file was written, not on the
          beginning of the STATS initialization time.

CR 21835: IP.
          A router acting as a BOOTp gateway fails to forward BOOTp replies
          back to the requester over a Frame Relay interface configured in
          Group Mode.

CR 22517: Frame Relay Switch.
          When you compact an SRAM, throughput on an Frame Relay Access line
          drops from 94% to 12%, which is unacceptable.

CR 21743: IP.
          The "Show IP Arp" script produces invalid values for the second two
          bytes of the physical address when using Frame Relay (and probably
          ATM and SMDS).

CR 22824: Frame Relay Switch.
          The Loop Back LEDs go out on all ports on the QMCT1
          when you configure the first port. The Loop Back LEDS on ports
          2-4 should remain on until you configure them. Also, the red LED
          when in Red Alarm state remains on when you disable the port.

CR 22266: MCT1E1
          The Show ds1e1 Stat screen indicates that there are twice as many
          circuit entries in the table (8) than what actually displays in
          the table (4). The screen should indicate only four circuit
          entries.

CR 22527: MCT1E1: 
          The following MIB attributes always should be set to zero:
           
          wfDs1E1ModuleEntry.wfDs1E1ModuleTxBufferUseCredits.1.3 = 0
          wfDs1E1ModuleEntry.wfDs1E1ModuleRxBufferUseCredits.1.3 = 0

CR 22714: IP.
          When you disable the RIP supply, the router should not respond
          with a RIP supply to any RIP request from other routers or nodes,
          except when the source port of the request is a port other than
          the UDP 520 (the designated RIP port). In this case, the router
          should respond even if the supply is turned off.  

CR 22822: IPX.
          The router fails to acknowledge RIP and SAP requests when you
          disable the "Listen" option on an IPX interface.
     
CR 22209: IP.
          When a slot disconnects and then reconnects, a race condition
          exists in the interslot communication, causing IP routing table
          inconsistencies across slots.
 
CR 22984: Frame Relay Switch.
          When you attempt to change the value of the FDDI bit mask for Stats
          Data Collection using Site Manager, the router always returns a
          NIL value.

CR 22113: SDLC.
          If you configure a router for local switch DLSw or for a DLS
          cloud using SDLC secondary, the local device will not recognize
          unequal SAPs. 

CR 23070: IP.
          When the cache contains more than 500 entries and the default
          route is flushed from the cache, the cache's RTBL is reset.  
          After the cache has been reset, and the cache is completely filled,
          deleting an entry from the cache may result in a bus error.

CR 22943: MCT1E1.
          The router will fault if remote connections go down during
          periods of heavy traffic.

CR 23015: MCT1E1.
          When a QMCT1 is configured with a FRE1 CPU Module, the QMCT1
          download fails. However, there is no message indicating that the
          QMCT1 is no longer supported by the FRE1.  

CR 22602: OSPF.
          Designated Router (DR) election does not work correctly on a
          Frame Relay interface.  OSPF initializes on a Frame Relay
          Interface, causing the ATTEMPT state to start before the
          DLCI becomes active. By the time the DLCI becomes active, the
          Inactivity Timer for the neighbors has nearly expired or has
          already expired.  This interface now declares itself as the 
          DR.


CR 22754: IPX.
          IPX routers running Version 8.12 respond to queries faster than
          IPX routers running router software version 9.00 or greater. For
          example, two routers are configured on an Ethernet segment, with
          one router running Version 8.12 software and the other router
          running router software version 9.00 or greater. If a host on the
          same Ethernet segment sends an IPX RIP query, the
          8.12 router responds to the query about five times faster than the
          router running 9.00 or greater. Therefore, the 8.12 router always
          will be the preferred router.

CR 22785: OSPF.
          After you dynamically disable the
          wfOspfGeneralGroup.wfOspfGeneralDisable.0 instance, it faults, and
          subsequent attempts to enable it will not take effect.

CR 22982/
   23036: Frame Relay Switch.
          Customer requests event messages 143-147 should be changed from
          INFO to WARNING for trapping purposes. Also, wffrSwCCtEntry must
          be changed to wfFrSwVcEntry for events 122 and 128 because they
          were the wrong attribute.

CR 22386: MIB.
          Report Generator does not recognize the 128 context hardware
          compression daughterboard

CR 22917: IP.
          When booting a configuration file prior to Version 9.00 using a
          9.xx image file, the RIP MIB object, wfRipInterfaceEntry, does
          not initialize the wfRipIntfEnable attribute with the value found
          in the configuration. By default, this attribute is enabled,
          therefore, if the configuration file has the RIP interface
          disabled after booting with an 9.xx image, the RIP interface 
          was being set to enabled.

CR 21298: IP.
          If the Technician Interface is running on a slot on
          which IP is not configured and you enter the IP Cache command to
          examine a remote interface cache, the router may fault.

CR 22628: OSI.
          OSI routing may stop whenever a reset occurs on a slot that routes
          OSI traffic. This failure condition occurs after you manually
          reset a slot or after it encounters a software failure (fault,
          resetting a slot). 

CR 22729: ISDN.
          ISDN failed in some tests of Australia ASN PRI test and
          French Delta test.

CR 22085: FTP.
          When you use the FTP software package QVNET to transfer a file to
          a router, a tag violation error occurs.  

CR 22610: VINES.
          A neighbor entry on the slot may cause an invalid next
          hop pointer because of a timing error. As a result, that neighbor
          and all of the servers it knows about become unreachable from the
          router. The router will be able to ping its neighbor, but several
          of the servers/routers behind the router that reside on other slots
          will be unable to ping through this router.  

CR 21893: DLSw.
          NetBIOS Name recognized frame is duplicated by DLS in a local
          switch configuration with Source Routing Bridge enabled.

CR 19126: DLS.
          DLSw destination MAC filters do not work properly. Users
          operating PC's running SNA 3270 emulation software are allowed
          to access the Destination MAC addresses 0x400000031723 and
          0x400000000007, both of which are restricted. 

CR 19177: VINES.
          After a slot resets, VINES may stop forwarding packets to
          some networks even though the network table in the MIB is correct.

CR 19507: DLS.
          The DLSw Destination MAC address filters do not work properly.
          As a result, the DLS Drop All Filter fails to 
          drop packets according to the filter precedence logic that
          has been defined.

CR 20955: PING_MIB.
          When issuing a series of pings, the ping MIB may receive
          echo replies out of sequence, thus causing the ping MIB to
          report invalid positive values for total and maximum delay. 

CR 21269: DECnet
          When you issue the SHOW DECNET CIRCUITS command under certain
          circumstances, the link module type is displayed incorrectly. If
          the link module that resides in the slot is an FDDI card, the
          script shows it incorrectly as a Token Ring card
          under the circuit type. The script reflects the link module type
          correctly if the card is either a Token Ring or an Ethernet.

CR 21553: DLSw.
          When using SRB Encaps on a Token Ring interface,
          wfDlsInterfaceEntry.7 & wfLlcInterfaceEntry.24, the XID is not
          getting passed to the Token Ring. The RIF field has the explorer
          bit still asserted.

CR 22020: LLC.
          If you change the Source Route Bridge Ring ID dynamically, DLSw
          fails, preventing connections established over DLSw (SNA and
          NetBIOS) from functioning.


CR 21944: Source Routing Bridge.
          A Specifically Routed Frame (SRF) whose destination address is a
          Wellfleet Group MAC Address does not get filtered by Source
          Routing Bridge (SRB) traffic filters on a Token Ring interface
          when the SRB traffic filters are configured for the actual
          destination address and not the Wellfleet group MAC address. 

CR 22188: Source Route Bridge.
          Source Route Bridge (SRB) filters fail on HSSI and SYNC media.
          The SRB traffic filters you enter in Site Manager in are in
          non-bitswapped format for all media types. These traffic filters
          fail on SYNC and HSSI media when the MAC addresses (entered in
          Site Manager) are compared to a bitswapped MAC address that exists
          when frames get bridged from Token Ring to HSSI/SYNC.

CR 22522: TCP.
          When you run an automated test script that disables and enables
          TCP, an error occurs in tcp_mgr.c at line 1019. 

CR 22977: DLSw.
          The router faults when 400 TCP peer connections with 212
          DLS connections are running on one slot where DLS is bounced.

CR 23182: IP.
          An OSPF Point-to-Point interface fails to receive Hello packets
          from its neighbor, causing an established adjacency
          to go down. This condition may occur in environments in which a
          default route is used, thus affecting those interfaces that
          receive packets destined for the default route.

CR 21335: DECnet.
          If a slot configured to run DECnet attempts to send an adjacent
          message to another slot, and that slot unexpectedly
          goes down, a fault on the transmitting slot
          occurs, resulting in the following error message:
          "Error in drs_cct_init.c at line 824".

CR 19902: VINES.
          Customer enhancement to provide Ethertype 0x80C4 on Ethernet to
          enable native VINES support on FDDI and to support the
          interoperability of bridging (FDDI to Ethernet) and routing
         (Ethernet).

CR 16330: SCRIPTS.
          When you issue the script SHOW STATE ALL command with Frame Relay
          or BGP configured, the state.bat script calls the fr.bat script
          with invalid parameters. This causes the fr.bat script to display
          its help information.

CR 23076: DLSw.
          When you boot a DLS network with multiple (>300) TCP peer
          connections, the routine dls_tcp_rcv_establish exits with orphan
          buffers, but the network remains operational.

CR 22415: IPX.
          When you use the IPX maximum path setting to install multiple equal
          cost paths to the router, the router may answer "get nearest
          server" requests when there is a server local to that network.

CR 22267: MIB.
          You cannot properly configure the 'TR End Station ARP Type'
          parameter in Site Manager revisions 3.00 through 4.00
          when interacting with 8-series router code versions up to
          8.12/fix8. This problem is caused by an IP Interface MIB parameter
          inconsistency between versions 8.12 and 9.00.  

          Support for 'TR End Station Arp Type' was implemented in 8.11/fix2
          and 9.00/rel. The attribute wfIpInterfaceTrEsArpType was added to
          both the 8.10 and 9.00 MIB revisions but at different offsets, 
          thus preventing 3.00/4.00 users to set this attribute dynamically
          against an 8.12 router version.

          To manage this MIB attribute correctly, you MUST consider the 
          following:

           o Update pre-8.12/9 configurations and use the correct version of
             Site Manager when implementing future configuration changes. 

           o Configuration files created by version 2.12/rel or earlier 
             will be upgraded automatically when booted on a router running
             8.12/9 and 10.0/2 to correct the MIB inconsistency and to
             preserve the original attribute setting.
  
           o Site Manager users running revision 2.12/fix1 and revision 3.00
             or higher will now be able to configure this attribute
             dynamically against 8.12/fix9. If you are using Site Manager
             version 2.12/fix1 or version 3.00 or higher, you MUST upgrade
             your router software to version 8.12/fix9 (minimally) to
             correctly manage this attribute.

CR 22064: DLSw.
          When an IBM host I9021 replies to an XID T2 poll by TEST Poll,
          DLS transmits this TEST Poll through SSP but does not
          send a Reach_Ack message to ICANREACH in response to the
          the TEST Poll frame. As a result, the session is never
          established.

CR 22398: Telnet.
          When you disable and re-enable TCP, an error occurs in 
          tn_tcp_listen.c. This errors occurs because the router fails to
          receive a successful tcp_open call return when attempting to 
          establish the listening well known telnet port.

CR 23165: Translation Bridge.
          A router configured with one or two translation bridge interfaces
          on the same slot will experience multiple faults on that slot if
          the interfaces receive several source route packets that require a
          RIF packet to be cached.

CR 14940: Frame Relay.
          LMI timer drifts when the CPU is busy. As a result, updates are
          not sent on time and connectivity is lost.

CR 22434: TCP.
          When you attempt to boot a router consisting of 500 plus TCP
          connections on a slot, an error occurs in mib_ent.c at line 1115.

CR 22502: Token Ring.
          A fault in the tms380 driver may occur when a Token Ring card
          (quad or dual) that is running DLS attempts to initialize
          interfaces on a slot that supports over 100 TCP connections. The
          failure occurs because the driver code fails to wait long
          enough for the token diagnostics to complete on a busy system.

CR 22783: Switched Services.
          When a primary circuit fails, the master router selects a modem
          from the pool and initiates the dial recovery process. However,
          if the modem selected has the phone line disconnected, the router
          attempts to dial three times and then terminates the process
          without attempting to use the other operational modems in the
          pool. Also, if the backup line is up and is disconnected from the
          router, the backup process is terminated and no attempt is
          made to establish a connection through one of the remaining
          modems in the pool.  

CR 22806: DLSw.
          Customer enhancement to ensure that Bay Networks implementation
          of NetBIOS over DLS is compatible with Windows NT's
          implementation of NetBIOS. 

          Specifically, Windows NT uses a second NAME_QUERY
          to construct a matrix. The new implementation of NetBIOS over DLS
          employs multiple NameQuery frames to construct two matrices.
          The NBF issues the first NAME_QUERY with an LSN=0 to find the
          remote device. When the remote device responds, the network
          address is extracted and put into the matrix. Then a second
          NAME_QUERY with a real LSN is sent directly to the remote
          device. The Bay Networks implementation of the DLS state machine
          drops the second NAME_QUERY frame. As a result, the matrix is
          never completed, and NetBIOS does not work properly. 

CR 23290: TCP.
          A problem exists in 9.00/rel through 9.01/1sqa4 in which breaking
          down 225+ TCP sessions causes a router to run out of resources and
          eventually fault.

CR 19502: SYNC.
          When you enable the RTS/CTS option on an AN or an ASN router,
          the synchronous interface goes down, preventing it from
          transmitting and receiving frames.


CR 19206: DLSw.
          A fault can occur in tcp_prep_xbuf.c when establishing multiple DLS
          connections.

CR 23669: VINES.
          When a VINES client is added to the router's neighbor table, the
          router inadvertently sends out full SRTP updates to client
          neighbors. As a result, client neighbors whose routing server is
          not a Bay Networks router are aged out every six minutes, and a
          full update is sent out when it is added back into the table.

CR 22549: Source Route Bridge.
          The router drops Single Route Explorers if the number of
          route descriptors in the frame exceed the maximum
          number of RDs configured for that interface. According to the IBM
          Source Routing specification, decreasing the number of hops from 7
          (or the "Max numbers of RDs") should affect only ARE's, not
          STEs or Source Route Frames (SRFs). Also, the router will drop
          STEs if you set the new MIB parameter, wfBrSrAreHopCountLimit.

CR 23351: LNM.
          When a Token Ring port that you have configured for LNM receives a
          single LLC TEST FINAL frame, it passes it to LNM. But after LNM
          processes the packet, it fails to free it, causing the packet to
          loop back to itself.

CR 23734: DLSw.
          DLSw does not forward XID-P if the entry in
          wfDlsConnectoinEntry is in a disconnected state. Instead, the
          router drops the XID-P's. 

CR 13463: IP.
          When upgrading router software from 8.01/4 to 8.10 or higher, the 
          processing of multiple ARPs could result in a hogs bufs
          condition.

CR 22287: Frame Relay Switch.
          The QMCT1 has a hardware loopback, which the user needs to be able
          to change using Site Manager.

CR 21565: MCT1E1.
          Each interface SYNC LED remains lit on QMCT1 link module while the
          router is under the following conditions:

          1. The router is powered up and the link module is inserted into
             the router.
          2. The router is power cycled with the board in it.
          3. While executing the 'diags' prompt from the Technician

CR 21926: BNX.
          BNX scaling rack found slots taking an inordinate amount of time
          (approximately 25 minutes) to restart after you hot-swap or 
          reset the slot manually. 

CR 17874: FTP.
          When issuing an "mput" operation to a router that does not have
          enough available space, the session terminates, providing no
          indication that a problem exists. However, if you issue a single
          "put" operation, the router software indicates that a problem has
          occurred.
 
CR 22506: Technician Interface.
          Technician Interface accepts only the default ELAN if you fail to
          set the name ATM ELAN correctly in the file install.bat for ATM.
          Alternatively, you can enter the name of an ELAN that you 
          configured previously.

CR 23296: Switched Services.
          If a slot on the router is connected to an AT&T 4ESS switch, the
          router can establish only a single outgoing connection on an ISDN
          PRI line. All additional outgoing connection attempts will fail.
          The router can, however, successfully receive multiple incoming
          connection requests on the ISDN PRI line.
 
CR 21491
   20126: OSPF.
          Router failed to find the nexthop neighbor during SPF calculation,
          causing OSPF to fault.

CR 22795: ISDN.
          The ISDN BRI router sends a "Connect" message with a channel
          identification information element that is rejected by NTT's 
          (NTT: Japan telecommunication telephone company) ISDN switch. As a
          result, the call is never completed. 

CR 23043: Hardware Compression.
          An OSYNC cable configured with 8 PPP lines at 1024K clock speed,
          running hardware compression on each line will eventually stop
          forwarding data as the hardware compression or decompression

CR 22538: DVMRP.
          Graft packets were not sent upstream when new members joined the
          existing group if there was no previous range for the group in
          the remote cache table.

CR 23195: IGMP.
          The state of IGMP on an interface as reported in the MIB is
          inaccurate. For instance, when you disable IGMP globally, each
          IGMP interface entry remains in an up state (state of 1).
          However, if you disable IGMP globally and reenable it on the
          interface, the state of the IGMP interface remains in a state of 3. 
        
CR 23222: IPX.
          A route with a hop count of 15 does not get installed into the

CR 23377: DVMRP.
          If a circuit receives multicast traffic on a circuit
          before all other DVMRP circuits come up, the forward alias
          will not include the circuit that is disabled.  When the circuit
          is enabled, the forward alias is not updated. The cache will not
          reflect the new circuit until after the forwarded alias times out
          and a new alias is created.

CR 23311: Frame Relay Switch.
          A customer request to increment the FRAME RELAY RX counters on
          PVC's that reside on the ATM interface. Incrementing these
          counters will facilitate the process of tracing packets throughout
          the network.

CR 22482: ATM.
          When two ATM end stations simultaneously attempt to establish Data
          Direct VCs to each other, the resulting ATM address comparison 
          incorrectly drops the incoming VC with the lower ATM address.
          The comparison should result in using the lower address.

CR 22705: IP.
          The "ip ospf_lsdb" command causes buffer corruption of the AN
          router platform.

CR 23346: IP.
          IP was causing an memory leak when the IP filter
          "Forward to First Up Nexthop" is being used, and the next hop
          being used goes down.

CR 20095: Frame Relay Switch.
          When Frame Relay VC goes down and comes back up, the router
          generates a message indicating that IP refused DLCMI
          registration.  This does not happen when the switch is rebooted.

CR None:  Frame Relay Switch.
          A new feature that allows a Frame Relay switch PVC to be terminated
          either at the ingress or egress switch port and transmitted to
          a router Frame Relay DTE port rather than across the Frame Relay
          network (ingress) or to a driver (egress).
        
CR 23486: Frame Relay Switch.
          The size of the wfCircuitLineList MIB attribute has increased
          to the point where it exceeds the string limitations allocated

CR 23257: IP.
          Setting the Host Cache to 120 seconds on a Frame Relay interface
          causes the slot on which the interface resides to log the same
          debug messages continuously. In addition, the router is getting hog
          buffer in "earp_operational_act+0x0", causing the slot to be
          disconnected continuously.

CR 22963: IP.
          IP replies (with a valid ICMP echo reply) to an ICMP echo request

CR 23556: GAME.
          Issuing a "g wfKernelEntry" command may cause the ANS router
          to drop packets. 

CR 23178: OSPF.
          An Area Border router fails to generate ASB summary links,
          causing a loss of connectivity to AS external routes. This
          condition can occur when a virtual link that exists between two
          routers gives both routers a connection to the BACKBONE and to the
          TRANSIT Area. After the ASB router on the BACKBONE has been
          rebooted, the routers in the TRANSIT Area lose
          connectivity to the AS Externals.

CR 22107: MCT1E1.
          When you enable an MCE1 circuit on an ASN router, the router
          generates the following warning message in the log file:

          DS1E1              Code:  11
          Connector COM21 enabled.

         This should not be a warning message but rather an informational
         message.
          

CR 23172: IPX.
          A router accepts IPX RIP packets and forwards them out the wrong
          interface after you boot the router. For example, after booting a
          BCN router with 30 interfaces, the router sends out IPX RIP
          packets with a source and destination address that is
          equal to one of the other interfaces in the router.

CR 23533: DataPath.
          When you configure multiple circuits with Source Route
          Bridge, Source Route Bridge Spanning Tree, and traffic filters on
          the same slot on a Token Ring network, the slot may fault when you 
          reboot the router.

CR 22961: OSPF.
          Certain routers configured on the ATM PVC backbone report OSPF
          packets with bad checksums in the log, causing a bus error to occur.

CR 23670: Frame Relay Switch.

CR 23306: GAME.
          Booting an AN2 router occasionally will corrupt the Flash cards. 
          This condition occurs mostly at sites that experience some type
          of console port problem, such as a misconfigured modem.

 
CR 23439: IP.
          The filter precedence appears to be working in reverse order
          on ARE platforms so that a "drop all IP source filter" must be
          made the highest precedence filter (rule #1) to avoid blocking
          configured accept filters .

CR 23477: IP.
          A slot running an ATM ARE might experience a fault if
          a configured IP traffic filter is left in a disabled state
          on the ATM interface.   

CR 20443: ATM.
          The ATM driver received too many release messages, causing it
          to log the following debug messages:

          "ATMizer command ring full"
          "vpi/vci flow controlled" 

CR 23748: Frame Relay Switch.
          A situation exists in which the lowest priority traffic can

CR 19376: SNMP.
          Disabling SNMP while the lock is enabled and in use can cause
          the router to fault.

CR 18946: DLSw.
          Bouncing the DLS base several times in succession after
          establishing TCP connections causes the router to experience
          an error in mib_ent.c at line 724.

CR 23696: Frame Relay Switch.
          The wfFrSwVcXnetErrors counter will reset to zero when
          the cross net status changes from active to inactive. The counter
          appears to increment correctly when the status changes.
          When the counter resets to zero and does not increment, you
          can be misled into believing that there are no cross net errors,
          and thus no problem with the cross net polling. A request has
          been issued to allow the counter continue to increment as long
          as the interface is down, and then set it to zero when the
          interface returns to an active state.

CR 20351: Switched Services.
          Traffic being bridged from an Ethernet line to a synchronous line
          does not bring up a ISDN dial line. However, IP and IPX
          protocols are routed normally. 

CR 20508: DLSw.
          Disabling and enabling DLSw interfaces cause SNA DLS connections
          to remain closed. You might have to reboot the router to
          establish connections.  NetBIOS and SDLC traffic remains
          unaffected.

CR 23964: Hardware Compression.
          The hardware compression driver could trigger on a false fatal

CR None:  FRE.
          A problem related to the FRE-II BB chips occurs when the PLL for
          BBTX goes off frequently or stops entirely. This condition
          potentially can disable all slots when the bad board flow controls
          all BB rails.
                     
CR 24250: MCT1E1.
          When the T1 Cable is disconnected at the remote end, the QMCT1 may
          not detect a carrier loss because the synchronous LED remains on

   Revision 10.0/1 corrects the following problems:
==============================================================================

CR 23609: Switched Services.
          If you disconnect the BRI cable and then attempt to reconnect it
          after dynamically deleting one of the local phone numbers that
          are configured for an ISDN port on a BRI card, a bus error
          can occur.

CR None:  Switched Services.
          This customer enhancement allows a demand circuit to be
          associated with a point-to-point circuit so that if
          the point-to-point circuit dies, the demand circuit gets
          established immediately without having to wait for the routing
          level to determine that the point-to-point route is unavailable.

          After the demand connection is established, it remains operational
          until you manually terminate the connection using force
          takedown. This allows you to control whether the data switches
          back to the point-to-point circuit. When the point-to-point
          circuit becomes active, its router has a lower priority, and
          the data will continue to flow over the demand connection.
          
          Using Site Manager, create the point-to-point circuit, but do not
          change the circuit type to Primary. Create the demand circuit to
          be used as a backup. From the Technician Interface, get
          the wfSwservOptsEntry attribute for the demand circuit. Set the 
          wfSwserv0ptsBackupCct attribute to the circuit number of the 
          point-to-point circuit number. It is also required that you
          configure the routing level to give precedence to the demand route
          over the point-to-point route.

CR 23296: Switched Services.
          If a slot on the router is connected to an AT&T 4ESS switch, the
          router can establish only a single outgoing connection on an ISDN
          PRI line. All additional outgoing connection attempts will fail.
          The router can, however, successfully receive multiple incoming
          connection requests on the ISDN PRI line.
