  • Page 1 This document provides specific information relevant to version E9.1.7.0 of the System Firmware for the X-Pedition family of products. It includes content from the E9.0.7.7 System Firmware Maintenance Release and the E9.1.3.0A patch release. Enterasys Networks recommends that these Release Notes be thoroughly reviewed prior to the installation or upgrade of this product. GLOBAL SUPPORT:...
  • Page 2 SYSTEM FIRMWARE SPECIFICATION: Before installing the E9.1.7.0 System Firmware, the Boot Firmware should be upgraded to at least version E3.2.0.0. Refer to the E3.2.0.0 Boot Firmware Release Notes, or any X-Pedition Getting Started Guide, for instructions on upgrading the Boot Firmware. System Firmware File Name xp9170 xp9078...
  • Page 3 RELEASE NAMING CONVENTION: Normally, the X-Pedition product family supports two active release lines. The older line is always in maintenance only mode and receives only maintenance improvements—the newer line receives maintenance improvements and introduces new features. For a brief time, however, the X-Pedition will support a special third line—E9.0.8. This line introduces the Security Attack Monitor (SAM) feature on the E9.0 code base.
  • Page 4 RELEASE NAMING CONVENTION A release line is defined by the first two digits in the name, e.g. E9.0 and E9.1. The third digit increments with each release during the development phase of a line. For example, E9.0.7.0 is the seventh development release for the E9.0 line.

Supported interfaces include the following: Part Number Connectivity Description...
  • Page 19 ISSUES RESOLVED IN E9.1.7.0: The following tables provide brief descriptions of the issues resolved in this release. E9.1.7.0 includes all issues resolved in the E9.0.7.7 System Firmware Maintenance Release (see the E9.0.7.7 Release Notes for details). 10-Gigabit Priority queue settings on the ER16-OS26-01 may cause the X-Pedition to experience ingress buffer overflows.
  • Page 20 Hot Swap Under rare circumstances, the system may occasionally core when hot swapping a line card into the router. Internet Protocol (IP) If an X-Pedition with ip enable reverse flow all configured receives an invalid TCP/UDP packet of a specific type, the router may core. Layer-4 An X-Pedition configured with Layer-4 bridging will respond incorrectly to an ICMP request that is not destined for the router.
  • Page 21 Remote Authentication Dial-In Service (RADIUS) An issue was found and corrected that involves users who authenticate through an X-Pedition to a RADIUS server. Contact Enterasys Networks Global Technical Assistance Center for additional information. Remote Monitor (RMON) Packet and byte counts for RMON2 tables are inaccurate.
  • Page 22 Terminal Access Controller Access Control System (TACACS+) An issue was found and corrected that involves users who authenticate through an X-Pedition to a TACACS+ server. Contact Enterasys Networks Global Technical Assistance Center for additional information. 10/02/03 P/N: 9038090-53 F0615-J ISSUES RESOLVED IN E9.1.7.0...
  • Page 23 KNOWN RESTRICTIONS AND LIMITATIONS: Known Restrictions and Limitations are sorted alphabetically by topic heading. 10-Gigabit Ethernet PIM is not currently supported. If a single smarttrunk add ports command contains more than one 10-Gig port, hot swapping one of the ports out of, then back into the router prevents the port from rejoining the SmartTRUNK. Hot swapping an ER16-OS16-01 or ER16-OS26-01 module that belongs to a SmartTRUNK out of the router will disable all ports in the SmartTRUNK.

  • Page 24: Network Management

    Multicast On a non-T-series line card, it is recommended that access ports be used when running a multicast routing protocol such as PIM or DVMRP, due to the fact that multicast packets can be replicated to only one IP VLAN in an 802.1Q trunk port. On a T-series line card, multicast packets will be replicated to multiple IP VLANs in an 802.1Q trunk port.
  • Page 25 Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM-SM) Using the all option of the pim sparse set interface configuration command fails to set the timer options. Users must set these options individually, using each interface name and IP address. Entering the pim sparse set component mrt-spt-mult # command from configuration mode places the command in the router’s active configuration;...
  • Page 26 Erroneously configured static routes may produce a routing loop. As a result, excessive CPU utilization can occur when an improperly configured upstream router sends ICMP redirect messages to a downstream router. It appears this problem has been present in the Enterasys Networks System Firmware since the 2.1.0.0 release.
