  • Page 1 Patch Release Note Patch 86222-22 For Rapier Switches and AR800 Series Modular Switching Routers Introduction This patch release note lists the issues addressed and enhancements made in patch 86222-22 for Software Release 2.2.2 on existing models of Rapier L3 managed switches and AR800 Series L3 modular switching routers. Patch file details are listed in Table 1.
  • Page 2 Features in 86222-22 PCR 02136 The firewall was blocking outbound ICMP packets when the associated private interface had a ‘deny all’ rule. The passing of ICMP packets should be controlled by the ICMP_FORWARDING and PING parameters. This issue has been resolved. PCR 02184 This patch supersedes PCRs 02073, 02081, 02086 and 02105.
  • Page 3 Patch 86222-22 For Rapier Switches and AR800 Series Modular Switching Routers PCR 02192 The source IP address in DVMRP prune and graft messages was incorrect. This issue has been resolved. PCR: 02241 Firewall subnet NAT rules were not working correctly from the private to the public side of the firewall.
  • Page 4 PCR: 02489 When the switch was under heavy learning load, some MAC address were lost. This issue has been resolved. PCR 02506 In the ADD IP ROUTE FILTER command, when the optional parameter INTERFACE was included, the filter was not applied to the flooding of OSPF external LSAs.
  • Page 5 Patch 86222-22 For Rapier Switches and AR800 Series Modular Switching Routers PCR: 02236 Sometimes the retransmission of an FTP packet was not permitted through the Firewall. This issue has been resolved. PCR: 02245 VRRP returned an incorrect MAC address for an ARP request. This issue has been resolved.
  • Page 6 Features in 86222-20 Patch file details for Patch 86222-20 are listed in Table 3: Table 3: Patch file details for Patch 86222-20. Base Software Release File Patch Release Date Compressed Patch File Name Compressed Patch File Size Patch 86222-20 includes all issues resolved and enhancements released in previous patches for Software Release 2.2.2, and the following enhancements: PCR: 01226 The IGMP specific query sent by the router/switch now contains the correct...
  • Page 7 Patch 86222-22 For Rapier Switches and AR800 Series Modular Switching Routers PCR 02161 The IP Filter SIZE parameter was not being applied correctly. This issue has been resolved. PCR 02162 The SET IP FILTER command would not update the SIZE parameter correctly.
  • Page 8 PCR: 02215 When the only feature licence in the feature licence file was disabled, the licence file stored on FLASH memory did not change. This was due to a previous enhancement in PCR 02184 which prevented existing files being deleted before a new version was stored. This issue has been resolved. PCR: 02220 The EPORT parameter in the ADD SWITCH L3FILTER ENTRY and SET SWITCH L3FILTER ENTRY commands was matching multicast and...
  • Page 9 Patch 86222-22 For Rapier Switches and AR800 Series Modular Switching Routers PCR: 02263 The virtual MAC address was used as the source MAC for all packets forwarded on an interface associated with a Virtual Router (VR). This was confusing when multiple VRs were defined over the same interface because only one virtual MAC address was ever used.
  • Page 10 PCR: 02304 VRRP used the wrong source IP address in ICMP redirects. RFC 2338 states that the source IP address of ICMP redirects should be the IP address that the end host used when making its next hop routing decision. In the case of a packet sent to a VRRP virtual MAC address, this is the primary VRRP IP address associated with the MAC address, provided such a VR exists and is in the master state.
  • Page 11 Patch 86222-22 For Rapier Switches and AR800 Series Modular Switching Routers PCR 02138 The built in Self Test Code for all Rapiers, except G6, has been improved to enhance the detection of faults in switch chip external packet memory. PCR 02140 An AS boundary router advertises AS external LSAs to other routers.
  • Page 12 Features in 86222-18 Patch file details for Patch 86222-18 are listed in Table 5: Table 5: Patch file details for Patch 86222-18. Base Software Release File Patch Release Date Compressed Patch File Name Compressed Patch File Size There is no patch release 86222-17 because this patch was withdrawn.

  • Page 13 Patch 86222-22 For Rapier Switches and AR800 Series Modular Switching Routers PCR: 02088 Port mirroring on the Rapier 48 and 48i was not operating correctly because Destination Lookup Failure (DLF) frames were sent from the mirror port. This issue has been resolved. PCR: 02095 The software routing performance of the Rapier 48 and Rapier 48i has been enhanced.
  • Page 14 PCR: 02099 A switch sometimes restarted if it was configured with static DHCP entries and was handling a large number of DHCP clients. This issue has been resolved. Features in 86222-15 Patch file details for Patch 86222-15 are listed in Table 7: Table 7: Patch file details for Patch 86222-15.
  • Page 15 Patch 86222-22 For Rapier Switches and AR800 Series Modular Switching Routers Features in 86222-14 Patch file details are listed in Table 8. Table 8: Patch file details for Patch 86222-14. Base Software Release File Patch Release Date Compressed Patch File Name Compressed Patch File Size Patch 86222-14 includes all issues resolved and enhancements released in previous patches for Software Release 2.2.2, and the following enhancements:...
  • Page 16 PCR: 02063 Firewall IP access lists were not working correctly. If an IP range was specified without spaces between the IP address and the separating '-' the range would be ignored. Spaces are no longer required. Also, matches were made to addresses covered by a range in an access list if the matching range was numerically the lowest in the list.
  • Page 17 Patch 86222-22 For Rapier Switches and AR800 Series Modular Switching Routers PCR: 01223 If route filters existed and a RESET IP command was executed, some static and interface routes were incorrectly removed if the filters matched. This issue has been resolved. PCR: 01257 DHCP occasionally caused a fatal error.
  • Page 18 PCR: 01275 The firewall was incorrectly forwarding multicast packets originating from a private address in cases where a matching route was defined. This issue has been resolved. PCR: 01276 When the speed of one or more switch ports was forced to a half duplex setting and the ports were then added to a trunk group configured for full duplex operation, the port settings were not overridden by the trunk group speed setting.
  • Page 19 Patch 86222-22 For Rapier Switches and AR800 Series Modular Switching Routers PCR: 02008 The first periodic after day trigger boundary (i.e. midnight) did not occur. A range check error occurred due to an incorrect comparison. These issues have been resolved. PCR: 02011 Stopping a trace route using STOP TRACE occasionally caused a fatal error.

  • Page 21 Patch 86222-22 For Rapier Switches and AR800 Series Modular Switching Routers PCR: 01246 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 The IGMP snooping forwarding process now correctly selects outgoing ports when DVMRP is managing the multicast routing information.
  • Page 22 PCR: 01233 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. Substantial changes have been made to PIM in more recent code releases. These have been retrofitted to 2-2-2 in the patch.
  • Page 23 Patch 86222-22 For Rapier Switches and AR800 Series Modular Switching Routers PCR: 01193 MD5 Authentication now works correctly with RIP packets. PCR: 01194 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.
  • Page 24 PCR: 01209 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 The COS_DST bit on ARL for L3 interface should be 0x4 (higher priority) for CPU ports.
  • Page 25 Patch 86222-22 For Rapier Switches and AR800 Series Modular Switching Routers PCR: 01229 The CREATE CONFIG command did not include all required L3FILTER parameters in the generated script file. PCR: 01232 The L3 table on the Rapier G6 is now cleared when a switch port goes down to ensure the L3 and ARP tables are consistent.
  • Page 26 Features in 86222-05 Patch file details for Patch 86222-05 are listed in Table 17. Table 17: Patch file details for Patch 86222-05.

  • Page 27 Patch 86222-22 For Rapier Switches and AR800 Series Modular Switching Routers PCR: 01179 When a VLAN was created and then destroyed on the G6 or G6F, the VTABLE was corrupted. This has been fixed. PCR: 01181 DHCP failed to send request messages when it was in a rebinding or renewing state.
  • Page 28 PCR: 01152 In a dual policy configuration, the firewall would lock up under load. The firewall would also mistakenly report SYN attacks. These issues have been resolved. PCR: 01159 The CREATE CONFIG command generated duplicate PIM interface configuration command lines. This issue has been resolved. PCR: 01162 Certificates containing GeneralisedTime with the year in YYYY format are now parsed correctly.
