Module: SWI
Level: 2
When 10/100 copper ports were disabled with the DISABLE SWITCH
PORT command, their link state was still UP. This issue has been resolved.
PCR: 31072
Module: SWI
Level: 3
If the DISABLE SWITCH PORT command appeared in the configuration
script, an interface could come up even though ifAdminStatus was set to
‘down’. This issue has been resolved.
PCR: 31084
Module: IPV6
Level: 2
A fatal error sometimes occurred because of incorrect responses to
Neighbour Solicitation messages. This issue has been resolved.
PCR: 31093
Module: SWI
Level: 1
If a switch port was disabled on a switch running STP, traffic was sometimes
not passed through that port after it was re-enabled. This issue has been
resolved.
PCR: 31096
Module: FFS
Level: 3
The SHOW FILE command caused an error when the displayed file had a
duplicate entry due to file size mismatch. This issue has been resolved. An
error message is now logged when the SHOW FILE command detects a
duplicate file. The first FFS file will be deleted when a duplicate exists.
PCR: 31098
Module: DHCP
Level: 3
Static DHCP address ranges were not reclaimed if the Reclaim operation was
interrupted by the interface going down. This issue has been resolved.
PCR: 31100
Module: L2TP
Level: 3
An error occurred in L2TP when call names consisted of numeric characters
only. This issue has been resolved. The ADD L2TP CALL command now
only accepts call names that contain at least one alphabetic character.
PCR: 31119
Module: LOG
Level: 2
The maximum value that the MESSAGES parameter accepted for the
CREATE LOG OUTPUT command was different from the value that could
be set with the SET LOG OUTPUT command. The DESTROY LOG
OUTPUT command did not release the NVS memory that was reserved for
the output. These issues have been resolved.
PCR: 31132
Module: DHCP
Level: 2
The DHCP server did not take any action when it received a DHCP decline
packet. This was because the device only checked the ciaddr field in the
packet, and not the RequestedIPAddress option. This issue has been resolved.

ADD IGMPSNOOPING ROUTERADDRESS
Patch Release Note
PCR: 31133
Module: IPG
This PCR introduces an enhancement that extends an issue that was
resolved in PCR 03890, in which switch port entries are only created for
special router multicast addresses. It is now possible to specify reserved
multicast addresses that will be treated as multicast packets from routers.
Use the following commands to configure this feature.
ADD IGMPSNOOPING ROUTERADDRESS
Syntax ADD IGMPSNOOPING ROUTERADDRESS=ipaddr[,...]
Description
where:
•
ipaddr is a reserved IP multicast address in dotted decimal notation.
This command adds reserved IP multicast addresses to the list of router
multicast addresses. The IP address specified must be within the range
224.0.0.1 to 224.0.0.255. This command is only valid if the IGMP snooping
router mode is set to IP with the SET IGMPSNOOPING ROUTERMODE
command.
SET IGMPSNOOPING ROUTERMODE
Syntax SET IGMPSNOOPING ROUTERMODE=
{ALL|DEFAULT|IP|MULTICASTROUTER|NONE}
Description
This command sets the mode of operation for IGMP Snooping.
If ALL is specified, all reserved multicast addresses (i.e. 2240.0.1 to
224.0.0.255) are treated as router multicast addresses.
If DEFAULT is specified, the following addresses are treated as router
multicast addresses:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
IGMP Query: 224.0.0.1
All routers on this subnet: 224.0.0.2
DVMRP Routers: 224.0.0.4
OSPFIGP all routers: 224.0.0.5
OSPFIGP designated routers: 224.0.0.6
RIP2 routers: 224.0.0.9
All PIM routers: 224.0.0.13
All CBT routers: 224.0.0.15
If IP is specified, addresses that are treated as router multicast addresses are
specified with the ADD/DELETE IGMPSNOOPING ROUTERADDRESS
command. In this mode, the switch will retain previous addresses that have
already been specified.
If MULTICAST is specified, the following addresses are treated as router
multicast addresses:
•
•
DVMRP Routers: 224.0.0.4
All PIM routers: 224.0.0.13
If NONE is specified, no router ports are created.

DELETE IGMPSNOOPING ROUTERADDRESS
Syntax DELETE IGMPSNOOPING ROUTERADDRESS=ipaddr[,...]
where
•
ipaddr is a reserved IP multicast address in dotted decimal notation.
Description This command deletes reserved IP multicast addresses from the list of router
multicast addresses. The IP address specified must be within the range
224.0.0.1 to 224.0.0.255. This command is only valid if the IGMP snooping
router mode is set to IP with the SET IGMPSNOOPING ROUTERMODE
command.
SHOW IGMPSNOOPING ROUTERADDRESS
Syntax SHOW IGMPSNOOPING ROUTERADDRESS
Description This command displays information about the list of configured IP multicast
router addresses currently configured on the switch (Figure 1).

PCR: 31134
Module: RSTP
Level: 2
Bridges transmitted BPDUs at the rate specified by the local helloTime value
when they were not the root bridge. This is the behaviour specified in
802.1w-2001. This behaviour can cause instability in the spanning tree when
bridges are configured with different helloTime values, especially when the
root bridge's helloTime is significantly less than other bridges in the tree. This
issue has been resolved. Non-root bridges now adopt the root bridge's
helloTime value propagated in BPDUs.
PCR: 31135
Module: IPV6
Level: 3
The ADD IPV6 HOST command accepted an invalid IPv6 address. This
issue has been resolved.

Module: SWI
The following SNMP MIB objects could not be set:
•
•
•
•
Dot1dStpPriority
Dot1dStpBridgeMaxAge
Dot1dStpBridgeHelloTime
Dot1dStpBridgeForwardDelay
This issue has been resolved.
PCR: 31147 Module: DHCP
DHCP was incorrectly using the directly connected network interface
source IP address as the source IP address of packets it generates. This issue
has been resolved. DHCP now uses the local IP address as the source
address for the packets it generates when a local IP interface address is set.
If a local IP interface address is not set, then it uses the IP address of the
interface where packets are sent from as the source address.
PCR: 31148
Module: PIM, PIM6
Level: 2
When the device rebooted with PIM or PIM6 enabled, it sometimes did not
send a Hello packet quickly enough. This issue has been resolved.
PCR: 31152
Module: DHCP
Level: 2
When a DHCP client was in the renewing state, and it sent a DHCP Request,
the device did not add the ARP entry to the ARP table. Instead, the device
generated an ARP Request in order to transmit the DHCP Ack. This caused
a broadcast storm in the network when the client kept sending DHCP
Requests. This issue occurred because the ciaddr field, not the giaddr field,
was checked in the Request packet when the device determined whether to
add the ARP entry. This issue has been resolved.
PCR: 31153
Module: IPG
Level: 4
In the output of the SHOW IP DNS CACHE command, “TTL” was
displayed as seconds. This has been changed to minutes because the TTL is
updated every minute.

PCR: 31154
Module: STP
Level: 4
The current implementation of RSTP conforms to the IEEE standard
802.1w-2001. However, several minor deviations from the standard are
possible without having a functional impact on the behaviour of RSTP.
These changes are useful for debugging RSTP, and tidy up aspects of RSTP
that sometimes have no purpose. The following three variations have been
implemented:
•
The Learning and Forwarding flags are set in BPDUs to indicate the state
of the Port State Transition state machine.
•
The Agreement flag is set in BPDUs only when a Root Port is explicitly
agreeing to a proposal from a designated port. Do not set the Agreement
flag in BPDUs transmitted by Designated Ports.
•
The Proposal flag is not set in a BPDU sent by a designated port once the
port has reached the forwarding state.
PCR: 31158
Module: CORE
Level: 3
On AT-8800 series switches, when the fan status changed, the device did not
send a SNMP trap and log. When the temperature was above the allowable
threshold, the device sent the wrong SNMP trap. This issue has been
resolved. Also, the temperature thresholds of the AT-8824 and AT-8848 have
been set to different values of 62º C and 67º C respectively.
PCR: 31159
Module: FW, VLAN
Level: 2
Static ARP entries sometimes prevented the firewall from working
correctly. This is because when an VLAN interface is added to the firewall,
the CPU takes over the routing from the switch silicon in order to inspect
the packet. Hence all the Layer 3 route entries must be deleted. However,
static ARP Layer 3 entries were not being deleted from the silicon. This issue
has been resolved. When interface is added to the firewall, all hardware
layer 3 routing is now turned off to allow the firewall to inspect packets.
PCR: 31161
Module: LOG
Level: 3
If the number of messages to be stored in the TEMPORARY log output was
changed with the SET LOG OUTPUT MESSAGE command, the SHOW
LOG command output did not return any matching log messages. This
issue has been resolved. Existing messages are now displayed.
PCR: 31162
Module: SWI
Level: 2
A STP topology change incorrectly deleted static ARP entries. This issue has
been resolved.
PCR: 31167
Module: IPG
Level: 2
IP MVR member ports were not timing out. MVR member ports now
timeout in the same way as IP IGMP ports. The timeout values are
configured by IGMP. Also, IGMP interfaces were incorrectly being enabled
and disabled by MVR. This issue has been resolved.
PCR: 31170
Module: SWI
Level: 2
After an AT-8800 series switch was powered down or rebooted, non-auto
negotiating copper GBICs were not handled correctly. This issue has been
resolved.

Level: 2
This PCR enhances the robustness of the 802.1x port authentication
protocol.
PCR: 31174
Module: IPG
Level: 2
If a device had IPSec and firewall enabled, it could not handle long ICMP
packets even when enhanced fragment handling was enabled on the
firewall. If a long packet is passed to the firewall for processing, the firewall
chains the fragmented packets. The firewall can process chained packets,
but IPSec could not process these packets, and dropped them. This was only
an issue for packets between 1723 and 1799 bytes long. This issue has been
resolved. The way IP processes fragmented packets has been changed so
that IPsec no longer drops chained packets.
PCR: 31179
Module: SWI
Level: 3
Addresses learned with static port security were not added to the
configuration when the CREATE CONFIG command was executed. This
issue has been resolved.
PCR: 31180
Module: USER
Level: 2
The following commands did not require security officer privilege when the
device was in security mode, but this privilege should have been required:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
ADD USER
SET USER
DELETE USER
PURGE USER
ENABLE USER
DISABLE USER
RESET USER
This issue has been resolved. Security officer privilege is now required for
these commands when security mode is enabled with the ENABLE
SYSTEM SECURITY_MODE command.
PCR: 31184
Module: SW56
Level: 2
Some issues occurred on 48 port Rapier series switches when MAC
addresses were learned and then relearned on a different port. These issues
have been resolved.
PCR: 31185
Module: SWI
Level: 2
Tagged ports did not tag packets received from the bridge before
transmitting them. This issue has been resolved.
PCR: 31190
Module: SWI, SW56
Level: 2
When static port security was enabled with the RELEARN parameter in the
SET SWITCH PORT command, and a switch port was reset or unplugged,
the MAC entries were removed (unlearned) from the forwarding database
table. The MAC entries should only be removed when dynamic port
security is in use. This issue has been resolved.

Module: PORTAUTH, USER
Level: 2
A device in a supplicant role failed to authenticate if it used EAP-MD5
encryption with Windows 2000 or 2003 Server as the RADIUS server. Also,
a fatal error occurred if the device received EAPOL packets containing a
very large value in the packet length field. These issues have been resolved.
PCR: 31192
Module: LOG
Level: 3
Syslog entries did not contain the date, time and unique identifier of the
message source. This issue has been resolved. The CREATE LOG OUTPUT
and SET LOG OUTPUT commands have been modified to control whether
or not this information is included.
The following parameter has been added to the CREATE LOG OUTPUT
and SET LOG OUTPUT commands:
[SYSLOGFORMAT=NORMAL|EXTENDED]
If the SYSLOGFORMAT parameter is set to EXTENDED the date, time and
unique identifier of message source are included in the syslog message. If
the parameter is set to NORMAL, this information is not included in the
syslog message. The default is NORMAL.
PCR: 31193
Module: IPG
Level: 2
When IP multicasting was not enabled, all IP multicast packets were passed
to the CPU, causing overloading. This issue has been resolved. Now, if IP
multicasting is not enabled, these packets are not sent to the CPU.
PCR: 31194
Module: BGP, IP
Level: 3
When executing the command:
ADD IP ROUTEMAP ENTRY SET ASPATH
followed by the command:
ADD IP ROUTEMAP ENTRY COMMUNITY ADD=YES
where the values for ROUTEMAP and ENTRY were the same in both
commands, the second command failed and returned a “ROUTEMAP clause
already exists” error message. This issue has been resolved.
PCR: 31201
Module: SW56, SWI
Level: 2
Fibre GBICs on Rapier and AT-8800 series switches sometimes did not
establish a link when powered on for the first time. This issue has been
resolved.
PCR: 31205
Module: VRRP
Level: 3
Two VRRP log messages were displayed when they should not have been.
The log messages were:
Vrrp 1: Vlan vlan2 10 Port Failed decrementing priority by 20
Vrrp 1: Vlan vlan2 1 Port up incrementing priority by 2
This issue has been resolved. These messages are now displayed at the
correct time.

INTERFACE command when it was actually Down. This issue has been
resolved.
PCR: 03902
Module: FIREWALL
Level: 3
Under some circumstances traffic did not have NAT applied if a standard
subnet NAT rule was added to a public interface. Such rules did not
correctly match incoming traffic when the REMOTEIP parameter in the
ADD FIREWALL POLICY RULE command was not specified, and the
destination IP address was not the interface’s actual IP address. If this
situation occurred, traffic was redirected back out the public interface. This
issue has been resolved.
