PCR: 01170
Module: IPv6
Network affecting: No
A fatal error occurred if an IPv6 interface was deleted while packets were
being transmitted. The number of current interfaces was not being updated
correctly when a new IPv6 interface was added. As a result, after multiple
additions and deletions, no more IPv6 interfaces could be added. These
issues have been resolved.
PCR: 01176
Module: PKI
Network affecting: No
The CREATE CONFIG command now adds PKI certificates to the script in
the same order that they were originally added to the certificate database.
PCR: 01177
Module: PKI
Network affecting: No
PKI certificates are now periodically checked (once per hour) to verify that
they are still valid.
PCR: 01178
Module: IPSEC
Network affecting: No
IPCOMP SA’s which have the reserved CPI “3” are no longer deleted by
ISAKMP delete messages.
PCR: 01179
Module: SWI
Network affecting: No
When a VLAN was created and then destroyed on the G6 or G6F, the
VTABLE was corrupted. This has been fixed.
PCR: 01181
Module: DHCP
Network affecting: No
DHCP failed to send request messages when it was in a rebinding or
renewing state. This issue has been resolved.
PCR: 01185
Module: SWI
Network affecting: No
In some extreme traffic conditions the switch could lock up, preventing
switching of any traffic. This issue has been resolved.
PCR: 01186
Module: FIREWALL
Network affecting: No
When large numbers of sessions were being handled the firewall would
become overly aggressive in restricting new sessions. The Active TCP Opens
field in the output of the SHOW FIREWALL POLICY would show a very
8
high number (42 × 10 ). This issue has been resolved.
PCR: 01187
Module: IPG
Network affecting: No
If the IGMP table was empty and a timeout was set, a fatal error occurred.

Patch 86222-01 includes the following enhancement for Software Release 2.2.2:
PCR: 01100 Module: DHCP Network affecting: No
The DHCP server identified the wrong port numbers for incoming DHCP
requests causing DHCP replies to be sent to the wrong port. This issued has
been resolved.

PCR: 01119
Module: IPV6
Network affecting: No
Repeated addition and deletion of an address with the VALID parameter set
to or from an IPV6 interface caused a fatal error. This issue has been
corrected. The VALID parameter specifies the life of the address, and
defaults to INFINITE. The address is deleted when the lifetime expires. The
PREF parameter specifies the time that the address is the preferred address
of the interface, and defaults to INFINITE. PREF must be less than or equal
to VALID. IPV6 now checks and ensures that if either PREF or VALID is
specified, PREF is less than or equal to VALID. When an address is deleted
the timers are now correctly cleared.
PCR: 01120
Module: IPG
Network affecting: No
IP sometimes passed the wrong port number to PIM, causing PIM to
process the wrong port number in its routing table. This issued has been
resolved.
