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
IPv6 multicast packets were not being forwarded when coming from a
6-over-4 tunnel. This issue has been resolved.
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.
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.
Level 1 This issue will cause significant interruption to network services, and
there is no work-around.
Level 2 This issue will cause interruption to network service, however there
is a work-around.
Level 3 This issue will seldom appear, and will cause minor inconvenience.
Level 4 This issue represents a cosmetic change and does not affect network
operation.
