Changes in This Release

Problems resolved in this release: 4.2.2

Q01827696

NSF allows users to configure same IP address for two different interfaces (though with

different mask.). In iSD, the configuration is getting applied successfully but failed to get

applied at the accelerator. Gradually accelerators move to Accel-OFF state and no more

configurations can be applied at the accelerator. This issue is fixed in 4.2.2 release by

adding a validation not to allow same IP addresses for different interfaces.

Q01834805 After configuring the management IP and sync interface, the directors will go

reboot. Once the directors come up and if no accelerators are connected at that time, the

management IP configuration is lost. This is caused due to a validation in the configuration

module which returns without applying the config if no active accelerators are found. This

issue is fixed in 4.2.2 release by removing the validation in the configuration module

Q01855791 L2FW over trunked ports doesn't work as desired and regular traffic is affected.

issue is caused by invalid FDB lookup which didn't consider the trunked ports scenario in

L2FW configuration. This issue is fixed in 4.2.2 release by including the trunked ports

while doing the FDB lookup.

Q01747321 With certain fctl settings on the dual ports (ports 3-6), some times port status on the

backup accelerator are shown as "Link up but Blocking" mode. Although it's not

consistent, issue was also seen by constantly changing the various port configurations and

alternating between the preferred & backup settings. The issue is caused due to invalid

updation of dual port's flag status by MP. This issue is applicable for SFA model 6600

only.

This issue is fixed in 4.2.2 release by correctly updating the flag status with the configured

port settings.
