12.03 Revision 1 corrects the following problems:



CR 27734: GAME
The ASN2 router reports that a redundant power supply failed when one does not
exist. A new MIB parameter (wfRASNRPSUPresent) was added to disable the
logging of the message.

CR 29695: PPP
A bus error occurs on the router as you add a backup frame relay circuit on
the primary interface.

CR 29731: TI
The configuration file size is set to 0 bytes when there is insufficient space
to save it.

CR 29756: OSPF
An OSPF router might unicast link-state updates unnecessarily to its
neighbors.

CR 30166: BISYNC
Bisynchronous transmission does not work on an octal sync card interface when
configured for ASCII Character mode.

CR 30999: FTP
Using FTP to transfer large files (3+ MB) from an ARN to a PC running Windows
95 over frame relay dial-on-demand can cause the ARN router to fault.

CR 31900: IP Traffic Filters
When an IP traffic filter is enabled on an ATM interface, the number of hops
in the TTL (time-to-live) counter decreases by 2.

CR 33795: Diags
It is difficult to determine if diagnostics have been run on a link module or
not, especially from a remote location. The attribute wfModDiagStatus was
added to the wfHwEntry MIB, which contains three states: Diags not run, Diags
passed, and Diags failed.

CR 34421: Sync
For MIB II management stations, InUcastPkts and OutUcastPkts can be mapped to
the TxFrames and RxFrames in the wfSyncEntry using the MIB attribute
wfSyncUcastMap.

CR 35417: BootP
The following message from the log should be removed because it fills up the
log and the customer can track the information using the MIB:

# 1: 01/30/98 16:03:33.472 INFO SLOT 4 BOOTP Code: 77

BOOTREQUEST rcvd on 165.222.48.1 dropped - pkt type not relayed.

CR 35612: IP
Memory leak occurs on all slots with a defined IP routing protocol.

CR 35665: WCP
When you configure a frame relay service record with WAN compression protocol
(WCP) it does not show received BECN records in the statistics.

CR 71111: MIB
When you boot the router it creates MIB-2 ifEntry instances for logical
circuits only. RFC 1213 requires that ifEntry instances be created for logical
circuits (such as, IP), the associated PVC, and the underlying physical
interface.

The following MIB attributes all remain at zero: ifMtu, ifSpeed,
ifPhysAddress, ifInErrors, ifOutErrors, and ifOutQlen. The following are the
only MIB attributes that display valid data: ifIndex, ifAdminStatus,
ifOperStatus, ifLastChange, ifInOctets, ifOutOctets, ifInDiscards, and
ifOutDiscards.

CR 73592: VINES
A router does not properly update the VINES routing table after it receives a
redirect packet.

CR 74044: IPv6
IPv6 over PPP faults when the PPP interface is disabled.

CR 74088: Scripts
The "show hardware slot" command does not support a QMCT1-DS0A link module in
a router.

CR 74167: X.25
When full addressing is set to off for the Public Data Network, the router
makes a connection for the first X.25 service record only. The remaining X.25
service records then attempt to connect using the remote X.121 address of the
first service record configured.

CR 74189: VINES
A router running VINES does not reply to a request for Check Neighbor Request
from a server running on Windows NT. The VINES server waits for a response and
then resends the request until a timeout value is reached.

CR 75667: ATM
The LEC is sending an LE_ARP for the multicast address C0 00 00 00 01 00.

CR 78294: ARP
The router incorrectly caches an ARP response of all Fs as its MAC address
which ultimately causes a network outage after the TTL expires.

CR 78301: IP
In ISP mode, router does not pass ASB (all subnet broadcast) traffic.

CR 79357: BGP
Dynamically changing the BGP peer addresses on a router may cause a fault.

CR 79893: Sync
A Unix server PU 2.1 fails to connect to an SDLC PU 4 (3745) through DLSw
routers whenever PU 2.1 is activated before PU 4. When this condition occurs,
the Unix server continuously sends XID Fmt 3 frames while receiving nothing.
Also, PU 4 does not forward XID Fmt 3 frames to the peer router by the
secondary SDLC router.

CR 79904: TI
The User login should not have the privileges to change the date and time.

CR 79920: MC T1 E1
A system 5000 with several 5380s experiences CPU resource issues. After
loading the ASN and Munich drivers and setting the clocking to internal, the
CPU use went from 40 to 50 percent.

CR 80388: DLSw
When you disable IP on a router using DLSw Version 2.0, the router experiences
an error.

CR 80401: VINES
The value for the MIB attribute wfVinesIfCostUsed is flipping between 0 and
the cost that is being used for the interface.

CR 80754: VINES
The default cost for an ATM LANE interface should be 1.

CR 81058: BOT
When transmitting a frame over a bisynchronous line at a low speed (less than
4800 baud), the bisync driver inserts two sync characters every 256 bytes.
Normally, the remote device driver recognizes the sync characters. However,
when a frame, followed by a bcc checksum, ends on a 256-byte boundary, the
router assumes that the sync characters are the checksum and rejects the frame
because the checksum is invalid.

CR 81185: OSPF
The fact that an area is a stub is not taken into account in path selection
for AS externals; this can lead to routing loops.

CR 81489: VINES
The router forwards broadcast STDA packets with a 0 hop count when the client
station is in the neighbor tables.

CR 81564: IP
When running install.bat and configuring an IP interface, you cannot access
the "all one subnet" option.

CR 82060: SNMP
When you delete SNMP globally with the BCC, the router faults.

CR 83110: Scripts
You cannot use the "show atm interface" command on an interface that does not
have signalling configured.

CR 83951: IP
When a router receives a bridged LAT change node packet, the router
simultaneously generates an ICMP packet and sends the packet via the default
route. The LAT change node packet also gets bridged. This problem occurs in
host-only mode.

CR 84379: ARP
A tag violation might occur in ARP when a circuit goes down.

CR 84425: IP
Creating an IP traffic filter using Site Manager causes a tag violation error.
This violation occurs because the rule size is smaller than the fragment size.

CR 84446: IPX
IPX route filters fail to drop certain networks if you configure filters on
more than one interface.

CR 84619: ISDN
The router faults when you configure one local phone/SPID for Switch Type NI-1
and repeatedly set the MIB instance wfIsdnLocalPhoneNumEntry.wfIsdnLocalSpid
to an invalid SPID value at intervals of approximately one second.

CR 84857: OSPF

When there are two or more ASBs advertising the same external networks and the
cost and the next hop interface to the ASBs are equal, OSPF may fail to
reconverge if that next hop goes down.

CR 85111: IP
The router software shows a memory leak when using the IP-
FORWARD_TO_FIRST_UP_NEXT_HOP filter.

CR 85312: DLSw
After deactivating then activating a PU, communication does not reestablish
between QLLC devices.

CR 85314: X.25
A bus error occurs on a router configured using the X.25 protocol if a call is
both requested and cleared at approximately the same time.

CR 85393: IP Token Ring End Station
When configuring IP and a Token Ring LANE LAN emulation client on a router,
the router sometimes sets LAN emulation ARP for a MAC address rather than for
the route descriptor. As a result, traffic traverses the BUS causing
connectivity problems.

CR 85597: ECMP
IP does not remove an external type 1 entry from the routing table after OSPF
max ages it when configured for ECMP.

CR 85612: VINES
If the router receives a VIP (VINES IP) packet destined for a client at the
network layer, sourced from a station on the same LAN, and if the client's
routing server is not in the routing table, but the client is in the router's
neighbor table, this causes a fault and VINES resets on the router.

CR 85713: ISDN
On an ASN router with a PRI card, when receiving from the ISDN switch a "clear
indication cause 31 or 32" or a "disconnect request cause 44", a bus error
occurs.

CR 85819: IP
MIB instances of wfIpInterfaceEntry are no longer valid in BayRS versions
12.00 and higher.

CR 85908: Packet Capture
When you start an SNA session with packet capture enabled on an ATM circuit
over an ATM LAN emulation, the router faults. If you enable packet capture on
an ATM circuit but do not start it, the router does not fault.

CR 85967: DLSw
If DLSw is disabled and there is a specific TP/LB traffic filter configured, a
bus error can occur. If the bus fault does not occur, the LB will stop
receiving data packets on the Ethernet interface when DLSw is re-enabled.

CR 86281: TCP
The router experiences a tag violation when it closes a TCP connection.

CR 86447: Syslog
When deleting a Syslog object in a second Telnet session, faults may occur.

CR 86519: X.25
Out of sequence packets can cause a failure in an IPEX session.

CR 87036: IPEX
A bus error may occur when IPEX tries to transmit a buffer to TCP while
clearing a call.

CR 87182: BCC
Faults generated when deleting log-host objects using the BCC.

CR 87612: BCC
For most slot range configurations, the BCC "filter slot-lower-bound,slot-
upper-bound" commands are not functional.

CR 87648: ATM
Under a heavy IP load, a virtual memory buffer (VBM) fault occurs on the
router.

CR 87670: FTP
When using the "*.*" wildcard syntax in MS-DOS to transfer an entire
directory's contents to a flash memory card, if you answer "y" to the send
file "." or "..", this causes an orphaned buffer fault.

CR 87756: Syslog
A fault may occur when deleting log-host on AN router

CR 88297: ECMP
When ECMP is enabled on the router, the IP routes are not added to the IP
routing table.

CR 88483: X.25
When LAPB entries are started between a client and server PC, the client
faults with the message "Error in buf_float.c at line 113".

CR 88762: DVMRP
In some DVMRP configurations a prune message from a neighbor router can stop
the flow of multicast for a group, when there are still other active neighbors
relying on the stream and/or a directly attached IGMP client registered for
the group.

CR 88765: Console
Console port remains down after disable/enable of serial port entry.

CR 89309: DLSw
Multislot broadcast does not work correctly on SDLC secondary interfaces. The
router receives the CANUREACH message and propagates it to all slots, but does
not respond with an ICANREACH. The multislot broadcast works correctly only
when the DLS slot IP address is in the peer table and a TCP connection exists.
This does not occur for a remote IP address configured as a peer when the
CANUREACH arrives on a different slot.

CR 89551: IP
Using Site Manager to modify IP traffic filters with fragment instances
deactivates the filters.

CR 90384: OSPF
When summarizing a more/less specific route, an OSPF slot may experience a bus
error.

CR 90431: OSI
After adjacencies go up and down due to loss of hellos under heavy load,
connectivity is sometimes lost.
