Features in sr264-03

Patch sr264-03 includes all issues resolved and enhancements released in
previous patches for Software Release 2.6.4, and the following enhancements:

PCR: 31225 Module: IPG Level: 3

While the switch was set with a CIDR interface address, when it received an
ECHO request with a network broadcast destination address for a class C
network, the switch sent the ECHO reply packet. Also, the switch
forwarded the ECHO request packet using a broadcast MAC address. These
issues have been resolved.

PCR: 40355 Module: VRRP Level: 2

When an IP interface is in a down state and VRRP is configured on the
interface, VRRP should be disabled. If it was enabled, VRRP could
transition to "INITIAL" state. This issue has been resolved.

PCR: 40357 Module: SW56 Level: 2

The L3 filter nomatchaction parameter was not applied for some IP traffic
on the switch. This issue has been resolved.

PCR: 40405 Module: ENCO Level: 2

If the ENCO process used to encrypt an ISAKMP packet failed, a switch
reboot could occur. This issue has been resolved.

PCR: 40415 Module: VRRP Level: 2

When a master VRRP router was configured from a boot script, the
transition to the MASTER state occurred before the Layer 2 interface had
been initialised, preventing the gratuitous ARP from being sent. This issue
has been resolved.
