-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Revision 11.01/3 corrects the following problems:
=============================================================================

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 30539: OSPF.
          OSPF interface adjacencies can get stuck in the Exchange state
          during the OSPF neighbor negotiations.

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 None:  DLSw.
          Request to add a new PU 1.0 feature to DLSw/SDLC.

CR 29237: ATM.
          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 31049: OSPF.
          A problem exists in OSPF in which the hub router in a Frame
          Relay environment loses IP connectivity to the spoke router.
          The spoke routers are configured with a priority equal to zero.
          After physically disconnecting and reconnecting the synchronous
          cable on the spoke router, the router is unable to ping across to
          the spoke router.

CR 30791: ATM.
          Routers running router software 11.00 or later will fail to
          acknowledge LE_ARP responses from the C100, causing intermittent
          connectivity problems between the router and the switch.

CR 31464: Translation Bridge.
          A NetBIOS session fails to establish itself after the
          translation bridge base is bounced. This occurs because the
          translation bridge drops the NetBIOS datagram packet sent by the
          server after bouncing the translation bridge base. As a result,
          the NetBIOS datagram packet never reaches the Enet (LB).

CR 29170: DVMRP.
          The router experiences an error in dvmrp_vif.c at line 664 after
          bouncing an IP circuit.

CR 3064:  Token Ring LANE.
          Token Ring end station support configured on Token Ring LANE
          causes an MCP error to occur.

CR 30327: DLSw.
          When you terminate DLSw on a ARE slot (ATM LANE), performance
          degrades after the host's MAC address is aged out from the cache.
          When the MAC address is removed, ATM receives a proxy MAC
          deregistration and performance degradation begins approximately 4
          minutes thereafter.

CR 31517: ATM LANE.
          Routers running router software 11.00 or later will fault on the
          ARE interface upon receipt of an IP multicast packet.

CR 31075: DLSw.
          A problem exists in software version 11.00 in which the router may
          fault when aging out the DLS test table while a DLS connection is
          being established. This causes the router to fault with tag
          errors or bus errors.

CR 29305: DLSw.
          IBM 4702 Branch Bank Controller fails to connect to the DLS 1795.

CR 30518:/DLSw.
   26042
          A problem exists in which DLSw remote stations running router
          software 11.00 or later may fail to connect to a central host
          after you boot the router from the host side.

CR 31859: IPX.
          When bouncing a ISDN BRI interface for a DOD circuit, the router
          experiences a bus error when the DOD circuit is the next hop
          address for an IPX static route. A bus error does not occur if
          there is not an IPX static route configured for that circuit.



-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Revision 11.01/1 corrects the following problems:
=============================================================================


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 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 24240: SM-DLSW.
          When configuring DLSw and trying to edit parameters in the Local
          Device Configuration window, SNMP set and backward compatibility
          errors occur.

CR 27857: IPX.
          On routers running software version 10.01 or later, a condition
          exists in which the IPX SAP tables fail to synchronize
          between slots in a redundant topology after the RIPs/SAPs age.

CR 29398: TCP.
          A watchdog timeout error, or an "out of memory condition" error,
          occurred in routine tcp_get_stm.

CR 29520: DVMRP.
          DVMRP experiences a fault when it runs out of aliases.

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 17028: GAME.
          Customer request to add a feature that allows the
          router to save all memory (global and local) to a Flash card. This
          will enable users to enable/disable crash dumps without depending
          on the functions in the MIB or GAME.

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 29341: IP.
          A router configured with Token Ring ignores OSPF Hello messages
          sent with a broadcast address of C000FFFFFFFF.

CR 28680: OSPF.
          Internal cost is not compared when two LSAs give equal OSPF type 2
          cost to the same destination.

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 29250: IPX.
          An enhancement request to allow IPX to create dynamic gates to
          handle all GET server requests except the GET nearest server
          request. This enables the router to respond to multiple server
          requests simultaneously.

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 29006: Frame Relay.
          Frame corruption occurs while running Frame Relay on a
          Transparent bridge between Ethernet and FDDI.

CR 29895: IP.
          The IP traffic filter "forward to IP destination addresses"
          modifies data in IP fragmented packets.

CR 29458: X.25.
          A X.25 call transmitted over the ISDN D channel with flow
          negotiation enabled at the packet and service levels causes a bus
          error on the destination router. This condition occurs on both ARN
          and ASN routers.

CR 29796: SWSERV.
          The second SPID registration fails after a line failure.

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 28401: QLLC.
          A situation exists that prevents the concurrent transmission of
          QLLC and IPEX traffic on the same interface.

CR 28773: IPX.
          If you configure a router with IPX and not RIP, a bus error will
          occur in ipx_sap_update_start.

CR 28782: QLLC.
          QLLC contained configuration information for only PU2.0 XID,
          therefore it was unable to build a PU2.1 XID. QLLC no longer needs
          configuration information to build XID messages. Instead, it
          sends a Null XID message to the end station to retrieve the
          required information.

CR 28383: Technician Interface.
          A router experiences random faults and slot resets while using
          the Technician Interface on an ARE slot.

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 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 30086: ATMDXI.
          Bridging performance problems occurred over an ATM DXI interface,
          causing performance degradation in the router.

CR 30160: IP.
          When the router sends multiple buffers to the cache gate for the
          same destination, ip_rt_cache repeatedly adds and deletes the
          destination from the cache, thereby degrading router performance.

CR 22791: IGMP.
          When you configure multiple circuits with IGMP on a BCN router,
          disable one of these circuits using the "disable igmp circuit"
          command, and then enter the "show igmp groups" command, a bus error
          occurs on the slot with the disabled IGMP circuit.


CR 27029: OSPF.
          LSDB fails to remove external type 2 routes after they are removed
          from the routing table.

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 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 28102: IP.
          The amount of CPU consumed by IP in an affected slot will grow
          proportionally to the number of routes that have been unreachable
          any time during the operation of the router.

CR 29413: ARP.
          A problem exists in router software versions 11.00 or later that
          can cause a slot-to-slot inconsistency in the IP Host Table
          (ARP table). This can cause IP connectivity problems in the
          router when the host cache is enabled.

CR 28588: Frame Relay.
          After bouncing a line between Frame Relay switch and the router,
          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 11.00, 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.
