C613-10319-00 REV F

Patch 86222-06 For Rapier Switches and AR800 Series Modular Switching Routers 3

PCR: 01170 Module: IPv6 Network affecting: No

A fatal error occurred if an IPv6 interface was deleted while packets were
being transmitted. The number of current interfaces was not being updated
correctly when a new IPv6 interface was added. As a result, after multiple
additions and deletions, no more IPv6 interfaces could be added. These
issues have been resolved.

PCR: 01176 Module: PKI Network affecting: No

The CREATE CONFIG command now adds PKI certificates to the script in
the same order that they were originally added to the certificate database.

PCR: 01177 Module: PKI Network affecting: No

PKI certificates are now periodically checked (once per hour) to verify that
they are still valid.

PCR: 01178 Module: IPSEC Network affecting: No

IPCOMP SA’s which have the reserved CPI “3” are no longer deleted by
ISAKMP delete messages.

PCR: 01179 Module: SWI Network affecting: No

When a VLAN was created and then destroyed on the G6 or G6F, the
VTABLE was corrupted. This has been fixed.

PCR: 01181 Module: DHCP Network affecting: No

DHCP failed to send request messages when it was in a rebinding or
renewing state. This issue has been resolved.

PCR: 01185 Module: SWI Network affecting: No

In some extreme traffic conditions the switch could lock up, preventing
switching of any traffic. This issue has been resolved.

PCR: 01186 Module: FIREWALL Network affecting: No

When large numbers of sessions were being handled the firewall would
become overly aggressive in restricting new sessions. The Active TCP Opens
field in the output of the SHOW FIREWALL POLICY would show a very
high number (42 × 10

8

). This issue has been resolved.

PCR: 01187 Module: IPG Network affecting: No

If the IGMP table was empty and a timeout was set, a fatal error occurred.
This issue has been resolved.
