Patch 86222-09 includes all issues resolved and enhancements released in
previous patches for Software Release 2.2.2, and the following enhancements:
PCR: 01189 Module: STP, SWI Network affecting: Yes
A new feature, STP forwarding, has been added. STP forwarding can be
enabled and disabled using the commands:
ENABLE SWI STPFORWARD
DISABLE SWI STPFORWARD
When STP forwarding is enabled, all STP forwarding is ignored and all
BDPUs received on a port are forwarded on all other ports.
PCR: 01242 Module: CORE, SNMP Network affecting: No
The switch now delays sending link traps immediately after a restart to give
the link to the trap host time to come up. A similar change has been made
for the cold start trap. After a 10s delay, all interfaces which are UP have a
link trap generated for them. After that, link traps are sent as normal.
PCR: 01244 Module: SWI, CORE, IPG Network affecting: No
Processing invalid UDP packets caused a memory leak. This issue has been
resolved. Additional debugging facilities were added.
PCR: 01246 Module: SWI Network affecting: No
The default setting for the switch port parameter INFILTERING is now OFF,
as specified in IEEE802.1Q. A VLAN will still reject these packets if they are
not from valid VLAN member ports.
PCR: 01247 Module: IPG Network affecting: No
The IGMP snooping forwarding process now correctly selects outgoing
ports when DVMRP is managing the multicast routing information.
Patch 86222-10 for Software Release 2.2.2
C613-10319-00 REV J
Patch 86222-10 For Rapier Switches and AR800 Series Modular Switching Routers 3
PCR: 01248 Module: SWI Network affecting: No
A configuration problem prevented trunking of gigabit ports at 100Mbit
speeds. This issue has been resolved. The A39 gigabit copper uplink
reverted to autonegotiation after a restart, even if it was configured to a
fixed speed. This issue has been resolved. When the port has been
configured for a fixed speed, the mode is now set to MDIX, not MDI.
PCR: 01254 Module: PRI Network affecting: No
When an M2 version of the AR020 PRI E1/T1 PIC was installed in a AR040
NSM it was not possible to select the T1 mode of operation regardless of the
jumper setting. This issue has been resolved.
PCR: 01256 Module: Firewall Network affecting: No
A fatal error occurred when the firewall discarded disallowed multicast
packets. This issue has been resolved.

Patch 86222-08 includes all issues resolved and enhancements released in
previous patches for Software Release 2.2.2, and the following enhancements:
PCR: 01201 Module: L2TP Network affecting: Yes
Tunnel creation failed when attempting to establish a point-to-point tunnel
from an ATR router (tunnel originator) to another vendor ’s router. This
issue has been resolved.
PCR: 01233 Module: PIM Network affecting: No
When IGMP snooping was enabled, if a member left a group on a port, it
could not re-join the group on that port. This issue has been resolved.
Patch 86222-10 for Software Release 2.2.2
C613-10319-00 REV J
Substantial changes have been made to PIM in more recent code releases.
These have been retrofitted to 2-2-2 in the patch. Note: these changes have
incorporated PCRs 01159 and 01190.
PCR: 01236 Module: PPP Network affecting: No
The PPPoE access concentrator did not stop RADIUS accounting when a
PADT termination was received without receiving a proper PPP
termination first. This issue has been resolved.
4 Patch Release Note
PCR: 01237 Module: SWI Network affecting: No
The dot1dBridge MIB implementation now complies with RFC1493.

Patch 86222-07 includes all issues resolved and enhancements released in
previous patches for Software Release 2.2.2, and the following enhancements:
PCR: 01018 Module: DHCP Network affecting: No
DHCP now correctly handles request messages containing request list
options not supported by the router.
PCR: 01160 Module: IPG,FIREWALL Network affecting: No
The router would accept TCP sessions with destination address the same as
the subnet broadcast address for one of the router’s interfaces. Firewallgenerated packets destined for a subnet broadcast address on one of the
routers interfaces would cause a fatal error. These issues have been
resolved.
PCR: 01168 Module: HTTP Network affecting: No
A watchdog timout occurred when the router received an HTTP message
with an over-length header. Normal HTTP requests would also occasionally
cause watchdog timeouts. These issues have been resolved.
PCR: 01182 Module: OSPF Network affecting: No
The OSPF route filter was not filtering out external routes. This issue has
been resolved.
PCR: 01193 Module: IPG Network affecting: No
MD5 Authentication now works correctly with RIP packets.
PCR: 01194 Module: L2TP, IPG Network affecting: No
The SET IP LOCAL command caused a fatal error if the router was
configured with a default route over an L2TP tunnel, because there was no
valid route to the remote IP address of the tunnel. This issue has been
resolved.
Patch 86222-10 for Software Release 2.2.2
C613-10319-00 REV J
Patch 86222-10 For Rapier Switches and AR800 Series Modular Switching Routers 5
PCR: 01197 Module: Q931 Network affecting: No
Debug messages are no longer generated when a Q.931 Advise of Charge
Notification message is received.
PCR: 01198 Module: TCP Network affecting: No
TCP sessions would get stuck in the FINWAIT2 state if the remote host did
not send a FIN message when required. The router now starts a timer when
a TCP session enters the FINWAIT2 state and will automatically close the
session if the timer expires.
PCR: 01199 Module: IPG Network affecting: No
The SET IP FILTER command was not correctly handling the ICMPTYPE
and ICMPCODE parameters. This issue has been resolved.
PCR: 01202 Module: DHCP Network affecting: No
The router will now accept DHCP messages that are greater than or equal
to 576 bytes in size, and reject any message smaller than 576 bytes. This
operation conforms to RFC 1541.
PCR: 01203 Module: ISAKMP Network affecting: No
ISAKMP quick mode exchanges are now committed if any traffic is received
over the newly generated SA. This improves stability in very lossy networks
where the commit message may get lost.
PCR: 01204 Module: ISAKMP Network affecting: No
ISAKMP debugging caused a fatal error when the debugging mode was set
to ALL and PFS was enabled. This issue has been resolved.
PCR: 01205 Module: PPP Network affecting: No
PPPoE interfaces with IDLE set to ON would not retry active discovery
when more data was received if active discovery had previously failed. This
issue has been resolved.
PCR: 01206 Module: ISAKMP Network affecting: No
A memory loss occurred when certificates were used by ISAKMP. This issue
has been resolved.
PCR: 01207 Module: ISAKMP Network affecting: No
ISAKMP heartbeats are no longer transmitted if the lower layer interface is
down. This stops ISAKMP heartbeats from bringing up links in dial-up
environments.
Patch 86222-10 for Software Release 2.2.2
C613-10319-00 REV J
PCR: 01209 Module: ISAKMP Network affecting: No
In some conditions it was possible for ISAKMP packets to be lost and not
retransmitted. Incoming ISAKMP messages are now validated before
stopping retransmission of the previous message.
PCR: 01211 Module: SWI Network affecting: No
The COS_DST bit on ARL for L3 interface should be 0x4 (higher priority) for
CPU ports. This has been corrected.
