PCR 02192
Module: IP
Network affecting: No
The source IP address in DVMRP prune and graft messages was incorrect.
This issue has been resolved.
PCR: 02241
Module: FIREWALL
Network affecting: No
Firewall subnet NAT rules were not working correctly from the private to
the public side of the firewall. Traffic from the public to private side
(destined for subnet NAT) was discarded. These issues have been resolved.
ICMP traffic no longer causes a RADIUS lookup for access authentication,
but is now checked by ICMP handlers for attacks and eligibility. If the ICMP
traffic matches a NAT rule, NAT will occur on inbound and outbound
traffic. HTTP 1.0 requests sometimes caused the firewall HTTP proxy to
close prematurely. Cached TCP sessions were sometimes not hit correctly.
These issues have been resolved.
PCR: 02359
Module: IPG
Network affecting: No
When an IP Multihomed interface was used as an OSPF interface,
neighbour relationships were only established if the IP interface for OSPF
was added first in the configuration. Now, OSPF establishes neighbour
relationships regardless of the IP Multihomed interface configuration order.
PCR: 02395
Module: VRRP, TRG
Network affecting: No
The SHOW VRRP command now shows the number of trigger activations
for the Upmaster and Downmaster triggers.
PCR: 02396
Module: DHCP
Network affecting: No
DHCP RENEW request messages are now unicast (as defined in the RFC),
not broadcast.
PCR 02400
Module: CORE, FFS, FILE,
INSTALL, SCR
Network affecting: No
If a problem occurred with NVS, some critical files were lost. As a result, the
equipment was forced to load only boot ROM software at boot time. This
patch combined with the new version of the boot ROM software (pr1-1.2.0
for the AR700 series) resolves this issue.
PCR 02408
Module: SWI
Network affecting: No
The EPORT parameter in the SHOW SWITCH L3FILTER ENTRY command
was displaying incorrectly after an issue was resolved in PCR02374. The
command now displays correctly.
PCR: 02427
Module: DHCP
Network affecting: No
DHCP entry reclaim checks are now delayed by 10 seconds if the entry is
unroutable because the interface is not up.
PCR: 02463
Module: DVMRP, IPG
Network affecting: No
Support for multi-homed interfaces has been added.
PCR 02465
Module: TTY
Network affecting: No
Under some circumstances a fatal error occurred if a large amount of data
was pasted onto the command line. This issue has been resolved.

Patch Release Note
PCR: 02489
Module: SWI
Network affecting: No
When the switch was under heavy learning load, some MAC address were
lost. This issue has been resolved.
PCR 02506
Module: OSPF, IPG
Network affecting: No
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. Also, in the command SHOW IP ROUTE FILTER, the
output of the interface name was truncated when the name was more than
six characters long. These issues have been resolved.
PCR: 02509
Module: DVMRP
Network affecting: No
The source net mask has been removed from DVMRP prune, graft and
graft-ack messages.
PCR 02526
Module: DVMRP
Network affecting: No
Under some circumstances, multiple default routes were created for
DVMRP. This issue has been resolved.
PCR 02538
Module: DVMRP
Network affecting: No
The source mask is now always 0xffffffff in the DVMRP forwarding table.
The temporary route in the DVMRP route table was not displaying
correctly. This issue has been resolved.
An IGMP entry was erroneously added for the reserved IP address. This
issue has been resolved.

Patch 86222-21 includes all issues resolved and enhancements released in
previous patches for Software Release 2.2.2, and the following enhancements:
PCR: 02167
Module: FIREWALL
Network affecting: No
Locally generated ICMP messages, that were passed out through a firewall
interface because they were associated with another packet flow, had their
source address changed to that of the associated packet flow and were also
forwarded with incorrect IP checksums. This only occurred when there was
no NAT associated with the packet flow. This issue has been resolved.

PCR: 02236
Module: FIREWALL
Network affecting: No
Sometimes the retransmission of an FTP packet was not permitted through
the Firewall. This issue has been resolved.
PCR: 02245
Module: VRRP
Network affecting: No
VRRP returned an incorrect MAC address for an ARP request. This issue
has been resolved.
PCR: 02327
Module: IPG/FIREWALL
Network affecting: No
In some situations, multihomed interfaces caused the Firewall to apply
NAT and rules incorrectly when packets were received from a subnet that
was not attached to the receiving interface. This issue has been resolved.
PCR: 02329
Module: DHCP
Network affecting: No
An ARP entry for a host has been removed whenever a DHCP DISCOVER
or DHCP REQUEST message is received from the host. This allows for
clients changing ports on a switch.
PCR: 02332
Module: IPSEC
Network affecting: No
The sequence number extracted from the AH and ESP header was in the
wrong endian mode, which caused an FTP error with IPSEC anti-replay.
This issue has been resolved.
PCR: 02343
Module: PPP
Network affecting: No
When acting as a PPPoE Access Concentrator (AC), if a PPPoE client sent
discovery packets without the "host-unique" tag, the discovery packets sent
by the AC were corrupted. This issue has been resolved.
PCR: 02368
Module: IPG/IGMP
Network affecting: No
IGMP failed to create an automatic IGMP membership with no joining port
when it received multicast data that no ports were interested in, when IP
TimeToLive was set to 1 second. Also, IGMP erroneously sent a query on an
IGMP enabled IP interface even when IGMP was disabled. These issues
have been resolved.
PCR: 02374
Module: SWI
Network affecting: No
In the ADD SWITCH L3FILTER command, the EPORT parameter
incorrectly accepted the value 62-63 as multicast and broadcast ports 63-64.
This issue has been resolved.
PCR: 02397
Module: DVMRP
Network affecting: No
After a prune lifetime had expired, the interface was not joined back to the
DVMRP multicast delivery tree. This issue has been resolved.
PCR: 02404
Module: IPG
Network affecting: No
DVMRP multicast forwarding failed to send tagged packets to a tagged
port. Packets were erroneously sent untagged to tagged ports. This issue
has been resolved.

The IGMP specific query sent by the router/switch now contains the correct
default response time of 1 second. Also, ifOutOctets in the VLAN interface
MIB now increments correctly.
PCR: 01270
Module: APPLE
Network affecting: No
If a port did not belong to an ethernet interface, or was not directly
connected to the seed port it could not receive advertised router numbers.
This issue has been resolved.
PCR: 01285
Module: OSPF
Network affecting: No
When an interface went down (or was disabled) on an AS border router, the
external routes were not removed from the routing domain. Such routes are
now removed by premature aging.
PCR: 02024
Module: IPG
Network affecting: No
Proxy Arp can now be used on VLAN interfaces.
PCR: 02122
Module: FIREWALL
Network affecting: No
A fatal error sometimes occurred if a TCP session originating on the public
side of the firewall sent packets before the session was established with the
host on the private side of the firewall. This issue has been resolved.
PCR: 02128
Module: FIREWALL
Network affecting: No
Some FTP packets handled by the firewall were forwarded with incorrect
sequence numbers, causing FTP sessions to fail. This issue has been
resolved.
PCR: 02150
Module: CORE, SNMP
Network affecting: No
When passing 64-bit counters in an SNMP packet, only the lower 32 bits
were passed. Now the full 64 bits of the counter will be returned if all are
required.
PCR: 02158
Module: FIREWALL
Network affecting: No
When a TCP RST/ACK was received by a firewall interface, the packet that
was passed to the other side of the firewall lost the ACK flag, and had an
incorrect ACK number. This issue has been resolved.

A feature has been added that makes pings pass from the source IP address
of the public interface to the IP address on the private interface in the
firewall.
PCR: 02195
Module: SWI
Network affecting: No
If a port on a Rapier 48 or Rapier 48 i went down, some associated entries
were not promptly removed from the forwarding, Layer 3 and default IP
tables. This issue has been resolved.
PCR: 02198
Module: DHCP
Network affecting: Yes
This PCR includes the following enhancements:
•
A new command, SET DHCP EXTENDID allows for multiple DHCP

Patch Release Note
PCR: 02215
Module: FILE
Network affecting: No
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
Module: SWI
Network affecting: No
The EPORT parameter in the ADD SWITCH L3FILTER ENTRY and SET
SWITCH L3FILTER ENTRY commands was matching multicast and
broadcast packets with software filtering. This issue has been resolved.
PCR: 02224
Module: SWI
Network affecting: No
Some switch chip register values have been changed to improve QoS
support on Rapier G6 and Rapier G6f switches.
PCR: 02229
Module: IPG
Network affecting: No
The PURGE IP command now resets the IP route cache counters to zero.
PCR: 02242
Module: IPG
Network affecting: No
On a Rapier 24, adding an IP interface over a FR interface caused an
ASSERT debug fatal error. This issue has been resolved.
PCR: 02246
Module: VRRP
Network affecting: No
The ARL entry for the virtual router MAC was incorrectly showing a
numerical value. The entry now shows the CPU’s port value.
PCR: 02250
Module: FIREWALL
Network affecting: No
Sometimes the Firewall erroneously used NAT. This issue has been
resolved.
PCR: 02259
Module: DHCP, IPG
Network affecting: No
A dual Ethernet router was incorrectly accepting an IP address from a
DHCP server when the offered address was on the same network as the
other Ethernet interface. An error is now recorded when DHCP offers an
address that is in the same subnet as another interface.
PCR: 02260
Module: TTY
Network affecting: No
When a ‘\n’(LF) character was received, the router/switch did not
recognise this as the termination of a command over Telnet. This issue has
been resolved.
PCR: 02262
Module: DNS
Network affecting: No
Responses to MX record requests were not handled correctly if the preferred
name in the MX record differed from the one that was requested. This issue
has been resolved.

PCR: 02263
Module: VRRP
Network affecting: No
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. The other virtual MAC
addresses (for the other VR's) were only used if the source IP address
matched the VR’s IP address. To avoid this confusion, the system MAC
address is now always used unless the source IP address of the packet is the
same as the VR’s IP address.
PCR: 02264
Module: PIM, DVMRP, SWI
Network affecting: No
PIM or DVMRP failed to see any data if IGMP snooping was on and
DVMRP or PIM was enabled after the data stream had reached the router/
switch. This issue has been resolved.
PCR: 02265
Module: FIREWALL
Network affecting: No
MAC address lists were not working with Firewall rules. This issue has
been resolved.
PCR: 02268
Module: FIREWALL
Network affecting: No
HTTP requests from a fixed IP address were erroneously reported as a host
scan attack in the Firewall deny queue. This issue has been resolved.
PCR: 02269
Module: DUART, TM
Network affecting: No
Under certain circumstances, the Asyn Loopback Test failed. This issue has
been resolved.
PCR: 02274
Module: TPAD
Network affecting: No
ARL message interrupts have been re-enabled after a software table rebuild
to fix synchronisation of the software forwarding database with the
hardware table.
PCR: 02275
Module: OSPF
Network affecting: No
Some routes were not added into the OSPF route list, and therefore were not
added into the IP route table. This issue has been resolved.
PCR: 02276
Module: FIREWALL
Network affecting: No
The CREATE CONFIG command did not save the SOURCEPORT
parameter to the configuration file when the low value of the source port
range was set to zero. This issue has been resolved.
PCR: 02287
Module: IPG
Network affecting: No
Existing IGMP groups were not deleted when IGMP was disabled globally
or on the associated interface. This gave the groups very high timeout
values. This issue has been resolved.
PCR: 02299
Module: VRRP
Network affecting: No
If a packet with a destination IP address equal to a VRRP IP address was
received when the router didn’t own the IP address, (because it didn’t have
an interface with that IP address) the router incorrectly tried to forward the
packet and send an ICMP “redirect” message to the source. Now, if such a
packet is received, it will be discarded and an ICMP “host unreachable”
message will be sent to the source.

Patch Release Note
PCR: 02304
Module: VRRP
Network affecting: No
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. This issue has been resolved.
PCR: 02317
Module: IPG
Network affecting: No
The SIZE functionality on the IP filter was not working for IP fragmented
packets. This issue has been resolved.

Patch 86222-19 includes all issues resolved and enhancements released in
previous patches for Software Release 2.2.2, and the following enhancements:
PCR: 02018
Module: OSPF
Network affecting: No
When OSPF was calculating routes from an AS external LSA and the AS
external router had two next hops with different metrics, the router
erroneously added two routes instead of one route with the best metric. This
issue has been resolved. Also, when the two equal cost routes were on the
same IP interface, but to different next hops, the router sent the packets to
the wrong MAC address. This issue has been resolved.
PCR: 02098
Module: STP
Network affecting: No
STP always transmits untagged packets. If a port does not belong to a
VLAN as an untagged port, then the port must belong to one VLAN as a
tagged port. In this case, STP should transmit VLAN tagged packets out of
the port.
PCR: 02123
Module: IPG
Network affecting: No
The IP, MASK, and ACTION parameters could not be set with the SET IP
ROUTE FILTER command. This issue is resolved when the filter number is
specified at the start of the command, for example:
SET IP ROUTE FILTER=filter-id IP=ipadd MASK=ipadd
ACTION={INCLUDE|EXCLUDE}
where: filter-id is the filter number. Filter numbers are displayed in the
output of the SHOW IP ROUTE FILTER command.

PCR 02138
Module: SWI
Network affecting: No
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
Module: OSPF
Network affecting: No
An AS boundary router advertises AS external LSAs to other routers.
However, when the router’s configuration changed, either by adding an IP
route filter, or by setting its ASEXTERNAL parameter to OFF using the SET
OSPF ASEXTERNAL command followed by a restart, its neighbour state
could not reach full state. Also, when the router had IP route filters
configured, matched routes were not being flooded into other routers.
However, these routes should still have been imported into the router’s
own LSA database, but were not. These issues have been resolved.
PCR 02144
Module: IPG
Network affecting:No
The IPG module has been enhanced to support gratiutous ARP request and
ARP reply packets.
PCR 02151
Module: IPG
Network affecting: No
The Rapier was not detecting invalid checksums in ICMP echo request
packets. This issue has been resolved. ICMP echo request packets with
invalid checksums are now dropped and the ICMP inErrors and inDiscards
counters are incremented.
PCR 02164
Module: DHCP
Network affecting: No
A simple DHCP range MIB and a trap have been added. The trap is
triggered when a DHCP request cannot be satisfied. The gateway address
and the interface address are sent as trap variables. The range table shows
which range was exhausted. A debug variable,
swiDebugBroadcomParityErrors has been added to the SWI module MIB to
count the SDRAM parity errors in the packet memory of the Broadcom
switch chip.
PCR 02176
Module: FIREWALL
Network affecting: No
Packets traversing in and out of the same public firewall interface were
sometimes blocked. The firewall should only control packets passing
between a public and a private interface. This issue has been resolved.
PCR 02181
Module: LOAD
Network affecting: No
When a file upload was interrupted, the file being uploaded was not
unlocked. The file could not be deleted without restarting the router. This
issue has been resolved.
PCR 02186
Module: IPG
Network affecting: No
RIP was incorrectly sending triggered request packets over VLANs, even on
non-demand links. This issue has been resolved.
PCR 02188
Module: VRRP
Network affecting: No
When VRRP responded to an ARP request for the VR IP address it was not
making an entry in the ARP table and the switch L3 table. This issue has
been resolved.

There is no patch release 86222-17 because this patch was withdrawn.
Patch 86222-18 includes all issues resolved and enhancements released in
previous patches for Software Release 2.2.2, and the following enhancements:
PCR: 02041
Module: SWI
Network affecting: No
In some situations, the switch would stop forwarding packets via internal
and/or external uplink ports. This issue has been resolved.
PCR: 02073
Module: FILE
Network affecting: No
If a flash write error occurred when a file was being written, the file’s
directory entry was deleted leaving a partial file in flash. Subsequent
attempts to write the file failed because a file of the same name already
existed. This issue has been resolved.
PCR: 02075
Module: OSPF, IPG
Network affecting: No
In configurations containing a large number of OSPF routes, the SPF
calculation could take a long time. During this calculation, other events
would not be processed. This patch reduces the time required for an SPF
calculation and allows the switch to respond to other events in the mean
time. This patch also improves the performance of flow cache updates.
PCR: 02081
Module: FILE, FFS
Network affecting: No
If the FILE module was required to re-write a file, the existing file would be
deleted before the size of the new file was known. This issue has been
resolved.
PCR: 02082
Module: OSPF
Network affecting: Yes
OSPF virtual links running across a single network segment would accept
0.0.0.0 as the next hop address. This was inherited by derivative routes,
making them unusable. This issue has been resolved.
PCR: 02086
Module: FFS
Network affecting: No
If a file ended short of an erase block boundary and a compaction was
started, the block in which the file was stored was not erased, causing errors
when new files were written. Also, if the last file in the filing system ended
on or short of an erase block boundary, and a compaction was started, then
compaction would fail. These issues have been resolved.

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
Module: SWI
Network affecting: No
The software routing performance of the Rapier 48 and Rapier 48i has been

Module: SWI
Network affecting: No
The layer 3 hardware table was not sorted properly when it contained a
very wide range of IP addresses (eg. 10.0.0.1 - 205.33.3.1). This caused a
small number of packets to be routed by software rather than hardware.
This issue has been resolved.
PCR: 02104
Module: TRG
Network affecting: No
The periodic and time trigger counts were incrementing by two instead of
one on each update. This issue has been resolved.
PCR: 02105
Module: FFS
Network affecting: No
An error occurred when the FLASH write driver was required to write
values that were not long-word aligned and were at the driver’s page
boundary. The driver attempted to write into the next section of memory. It
also attempted to read the status of this section of memory, and
misinterpreted the result as a low Vpp voltage. Also, errors occurred during
FLASH compaction. These issues have been resolved.

Configuring IP route filters did not stop flooding of AS external LSAs to
neigbours at startup. The result was that the neigbour received the AS LSAs
and added the corresponding routes into its own routing table. However,
after some time (e.g. 1 hour), the AS external LSAs in the neigbour’s
database disappeared, but the corresponding routes were still in its routing
table. This issue has been resolved.

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: 01102
Module: IPG
Network affecting: No
The IP flow cache occasionally generated a watchdog fatal error. This issued
has been resolved.
PCR: 01102

Deleting entries from an L3 table occasionally resulted in a watchdog fatal
error. This issue has been resolved.
PCR: 01106
Module: PKI
Network affecting: No
PKI enrolment no longer causes message validation to fail.
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.
