Features in 89262-08
Patch 89262-08 includes all issues resolved and enhancements released in
previous patches for Software Release 2.6.2, and the following enhancements:
Level 1
No issues.
Level 2
PCR: 40570 Module: IP6
IPv6 multicast packets were not being forwarded when coming from a
6-over-4 tunnel. This issue has been resolved.
PCR: 40573 Module: LOG
If the log module was configured to store a very large number of messages
(for example, more than 3000 messages), a watchdog timeout could occur
when the show debug command was executed. This issue has been
resolved.
Please note that this problem would not occur when the show log command
was executed. A temporary work-around would be to disable the log
module before executing the show debug command.
PCR: 40591 Module: SWMX
In a multicast setup, there was a possibility that all multicast and broadcast
packets were not being forwarded as expected. This caused symptoms such
as RIPv1 or RIPv2 losing routes, PIM neighbourhoods being lost, and other
protocols using broadcast or multicast packets would fail to register any
peers/neighbours. Also, multicast packets are not switched. This issue has
been resolved.
