Switch 1 Under heavy CPU utilisation, particularly when many SFPs were installed,

AT-9924SP switches sometimes did not correctly detect the installed status of

SFPs or reflect the correct link state.

This issue has been resolved. The switch now reports the correct state once the

heavy load is removed.

CR00011691 Switch 1 Previously, if trunk ports were configured and/or STP was enabled, the CPU

flooded GARP frames in an incorrect manner, which could cause network loops.

This issue has been resolved. GMRP frames are (correctly) flooded, and GVRP

frames are now only flooded if GARP is disabled.

---YYYYYY-

CR00011694 Core,

Switch

1If the switch had learned a very large number of routes from BGP and the

interface went down, IP ran out of memory when recalculating the best routes

to use. This was exacerbated when the high memory usage triggered the BGP

backoff mechanism which in turn disabled the BGP peers, which caused IP to

recalculate even more routes. The switch eventually rebooted due to memory

exhaustion.

This issue has been resolved by improvements to memory allocation and IP route

queuing, and by enforcing limits on the number of IP routes.

---YY--YYY

CR00012097 Switch 1 When PIM6 was configured on the switch, and it received an IPv6 multicast

stream for which it had no downstream interface to forward the stream to, a

reboot could occur.

This issue has been resolved.

CR00000529 IPv6,

PIM6

2When a better route for multicast traffic became available, PIM for IPv6 did not

recalculate the route and switch the traffic to use it.

This issue has been resolved.

YYYYY- - YYY

CR00006475 IP Gateway,

PIM

2When PIM-DM or PIM-SM was forwarding traffic through the CPU at high data

rates and an SG entry was deleted, it was possible for the router or switch to

reboot.

This issue has been resolved.

YYYYY- - YYY

CR00007522 IP Gateway 2 The switch’s hardware IP route table occasionally did not contain the most

optimal route to a destination. This meant packets were sometimes sent via sub-

optimal routes. An additional effect was that when multiple equal-cost routes

existed a less than complete set of those routes would be utilised.

This issue has been resolved, so that the switch forwards packets via the best IP

route(s) available.

---YYYYYYY

CR00007741 TCP,

TPAD

2TPAD TCP sessions now have a keepalive timer applied to them. If a TPAD TCP

session is inactive and therefore there is no response to the TCP keepalives, then

after 3 keepalive attempts, 10 seconds apart, the TPAD TCP session is closed. This

frees up the TCP listen port to allow subsequent TPAD transactions via that TCP

port. This TCP keepalive facility only applies to TPAD-related TCP traffic.

YYYY------

CR00007950 SSH 2 When a user is logged into the router or switch via an ASYN port and uses the

SSH client to send a command to a remote SSH server, the server sends the

response and the SSH session is closed as expected. However, the tail end of the

response was sometimes not received by the user logged into the ASYN port.

This issue has been resolved.

C613-10474-00 REV B

CR00008699 Switch 2 Previously, when 300 MAC address filters were added to a port and the port was

reset, the CPU became 100% utilised.

This issue has been resolved.

---YYYY- - -

CR00008992 IPv6 2 The router or switch sometimes unexpectedly stopped forwarding IPv6 multicast

traffic if the multicast’s upstream path changed. This could occur, for example,

when the path changed because an interface went down.

YYYYY- - YYY

CR00009201 ARP 2 An ARP timeout caused the removal of the ARP entry, resulting in packet loss until

the entry was re-added.

This issue has been resolved.

YYYYYYYYYY

CR00009280 ATM 2 When the router was using IPsec and either IPoEoA or IPoA, and it received traffic

from a VLAN at a higher rate than it could transmit over the ADSL link, eventually

the ATM interface would intermittently stop transmitting traffic.

This issue has been resolved.

Y---------

CR00009283 Switch 2 If a 48-port switch learned many thousands of MAC addresses, it rebooted when

the addresses timed out.

This issue has been resolved.

---YYYY- - -

CR00009539 IP Gateway 2 The IP DNS cache feature was not designed to include MX (Mail Exchange) DNS

records. In some circumstances, MX DNS entries were added to the IP DNS cache

and the name of a DNS record was incorrectly associated with the IP address of

the MX entry. This stopped the router or switch from correctly resolving A-record

requests for the affected domain name.

This issue has been resolved by ensuring that MX entries are never added to the

IP DNS cache.

YYYYYYYYYY

CR00010265 Switch 2 When the ingress and egress port were defined in an Layer 3 filter with an action

of deny, the filter denied the traffic to be sent out all the egress ports and not

just the egress port specified in the filter.

This issue has been resolved.

CR00010886 IPv6,

IP Gateway,

PPP

2When a user enabled a Dial-on-Demand PPP interface, sometimes the router or

switch did not apply the associated IP route change. This meant that routes via

the Dial-on-Demand PPP interface were not available for use. When this

occurred, routed traffic failed to activate the associated Dial-on-Demand PPP

interface.

This issue has been resolved.

YYYYY- - YYY

CR00011060 IP Gateway,

PIM

2In networks with redundancies handled by protocols such as STP and trunking,

upstream PIM neighbours may move from one port to another. When this

happened, PIM-DM failed to re-establish multicast routes with all of its

downstream interfaces listed properly. This caused the switch to eventually stop

sending multicasts for that group via that route.

This issue has been resolved.

---YY--YYY

CR00011128 BGP 2 When running a BGP network using route reflectors, changing the cluster ID on

a router or switch could cause a restart of some of the BGP clients.

This issue has been resolved.

YYYYY- - YYY

CR00011304 VRRP 2 VRRP did not function correctly when the switch was configured with protected

VLANs.

This issue has been resolved.

---YYYY- - -

CR00011305 IPv6,

Utility

2RIPng (RIPv6) occasionally advertised sub-optimal routes to its neighbour when

the router or switch was placed in a looped network topology.

This issue has been resolved.

YYYYY- - YYY

CR00011338 ASYN 2 If a cable carrying a continuous stream of characters is connected to a port on an

4-port ASYN PIC, the ASYN port did not always receive the characters correctly.

This was because of a port synchronisation failure to the character stream.

This issue has been resolved. The port now detects the synchronisation failure

and continues to attempt synchronisation to the character stream until

successful.

CR00011349 SYN 2 At low baud rates, a synchronous connection was unable to reach 100%

utilisation of the available bandwidth. The queueing mechanism has been

improved to allow 100% link utilisation. Flag sharing between back-to-back

HDLC frames is now supported for synchronous connections.

YYYY------

CR00011396 PIM on IPv6 2 When a user specified a static RP candidate and saved the configuration with the

create config command, the resulting configuration file did not include the RP

candidate. Therefore, rebooting the router or switch deleted the static RP

candidate entry.

This issue has been resolved.

YYYYY- - YYY

CR00011411 PoE 2 When multiple telnet sessions where open on the AT-8624PoE switch, and the

command show switch port was entered, the switch command line became

unresponsive for several minutes.

This issue has been resolved.

-----Y----

CR00011586 Switch 2 When a port is no longer a member of any VLAN as an untagged port, it would

discard received untagged BPDU packets.

Note that this issue only occurred on AT-8900 and AT-9900 switches; other

switches already correctly handled untagged frames on tagged ports when

required.

This issue has been resolved.

-------YY-

CR00011587 Switch 2 Previously, if a port was a tagged member of a VLAN, it was not able to transmit

untagged frames to that VLAN.

This issue has been resolved. When required, STP BPDUs can now to be sent

untagged out a port, even if the port is configured as a tagged member of a

VLAN.

-------YY-

CR00011645 Switch 2 After an AT-8800 series switch was powered down or rebooted, non auto-

negotiating copper GBICs did not correctly handle Ethernet PAUSE frames.

This issue has been resolved.

CR00011665 PRI 2 When using an unstructured TDM group over an E1 mode PRI interface,

occasionally a high level of errors was experienced. This may have caused the link

to be unstable, or may have resulted in reduced data throughput.

This issue has been resolved.

YYYY------

CR00011746 BGP 2 If the router or switch failed to establish a BGP peer session because of

unsuccessful Open message exchanges, no further attempts to establish the peer

connection were made.

This issue has been resolved. The router or switch now continues to attempt to

establish the session, with 60 second intervals between attempts.

YYYYY- - YYY

CR00011780 BOOTP 2 Previously, if a user entered the command set bootp relay option82

port=portnum without also specifying one of the required subscriberid or

trusted parameters, the router or switch would incorrectly report “Operation

Successful”.

This issue has been resolved. The router or switch now reports that one of the

parameters subscriberid or trusted must also be specified as part of this

command.

YYYYYYYYYY

CR00011809 Firewall 2 The SIP application layer gateway (ALG) did not correctly handle SIP packets that

had an extension parameter added to the “From” field. In VoIP networks that

added this extension parameter, users telephoning out from the private network

could not hear the recipient talk, because the VoIP voice data was not passed

from the remote client to the client on the private side.

This issue has been resolved.

YYYYY----Y

CR00011844 IPv6 2 IPv6 interfaces did not work over a PPP link on switches or AR44x routers. When

the interface received IPv6 traffic, the router or switch rebooted.

CR00011855 TCP,

UPnP

2TCP sessions would sometimes “hang” in the Close Wait state. This behaviour

occurred when a UPnP notification session was closed by the control point

(usually Windows XP, SP2), via a “200 OK” message that contained a

“Connection: close” field, that also had the TCP/FIN flag set.

Because these TCP sessions were not closing, eventually all available TCP

resources could be used up, preventing new TCP sessions from opening.

This issue has been resolved. Such TCP sessions now close correctly.

YYY- ------

CR00011940 Switch 2 Previously, if all configured IP interfaces were down or had been deleted,

broadcast frames were not sent to the switch’s CPU. This meant, for example,

that VLANs on the switch did not receive PPPoE traffic if all IP interfaces were

down.

-------YY-

CR00011991 WAN load

balancer

2An issue occurred when the router accessed multiple WAN load balancer

healthcheck hosts, and was configured as a firewall that performed enhanced

NAT. Instead of testing the health of each healthcheck host through every WAN

LB resource (and therefore over all relevant WAN interfaces), the router only

tested through one WAN LB resource. If that one WAN interface lost connectivity

to the Internet, the WAN LB incorrectly thought that all WAN LB resources had

become unavailable.

This issue has been resolved. The WAN LB now correctly checks the health of all

healthcheck hosts through all WAN LB resource interfaces.

YYY- ------

CR00011992 Firewall 2 When the firewall was enabled, it failed to process some RTSP packets, so clients

behind the firewall failed to load some web pages that used RTSP (TCP port

7070).

This issue has been resolved.
