Cabletron Systems CyberSWITCH CSX5500 Release Note page 6

KNOWN RESTRICTIONS AND LIMITATIONS:
Bridging Software:
Bridge Dial-Out is not provided for IP Host (RFC 1294) devices .
IP Routing Software:
Under very special circumstances, an IP address from the IP address pool could be assigned to
two different devices. If a device calls in with a static address that is within the WAN interface's
subnet, and then the DHCP proxy client is enabled in manage mode and receives addresses in
the same range as the one in use by the currently connected device, another device could
connect and request an address from the IP address pool and receive the one which is in use by
the first device.
Solution:
This problem can be circumvented by proper static address configuration of remote devices and
can also be corrected by disconnecting remote device connections after enabling the DHCP
client from manage mode.
When IP Routing is disabled and you try to configure an IP address for a user, a meaningless
warning message may be displayed. Please ignore this message as the IP address will not be
used when IP Routing is disabled.
IP Dial-Out is not provided for IP broadcast packets.
Dial-Out on a Direct Host WAN interface is not supported.
When the CSX is configured to operate with IP Routing enabled and no security options, multiple
connections can be combined into a channel group only if the remote device supports PPP
Endpoint Discriminator Option.
IPX Routing Software:
Triggered RIP/SAP devices are not always learning Routes/Service.
Solution:
Configure the remote device for periodic RIP/SAP.
NetWare Link Services Protocol (NLSP) is not supported.
AppleTalk Routing Software:
Intermittently, AppleTalk routing may fail to remote devices.
Solution:
Validate that duplicate addresses do not exist in the CSX system.
AppleTalk support does not yet exist for CSM.
Frame Relay Software:
X.25 Software:
