Software Fixes in Release K.11.12 - K.13.49
Release K.13.46
password operator sha-1 "lsadkjlkjfsd..."
Example of what that line might look like after the fix:
password operator sha0 "lsadkjlkjfsd...”
No switch administrator intervention is required for the forward configuration translation to
occur.
Support Note: This fix has implications for rolling back the software. If password encryption is
configured and a switch running software with the fix is rolled back to a software version prior
to the fix using the same config file, the config loading will fail, and error messages for each line
containing "sha0" or "sha1" will be displayed on the switch terminal. In the following example,
sha1 was line 14 in the config, and sha0 was on line 15 of the config.
Line:14. Invalid input: *sha1*
Line:15. Invalid input: *sha0*
To avoid configuration compatibility issues, please follow the instructions in the “Best Practices
for Major Software Updates” on page 7. If roll back to a pre-fix software version occurs without
following the Best Practice suggestion (association of a compatible config file with a software
version), the switch administrator should gain access to the switch by hitting <enter> at the
password prompt, and must then reconfigure the password encryption with valid parameters
(the pre-fix CLI syntax is SHA-1
, versus the post-fix CLI use of SHA0 or SHA1).
The default hash value for newly configured password encryption on a software version with
this fix is SHA1.
■ CLI (PR_0000009860) — Output from the CLI command show module erroneously reports
the 8212zl System Support Module (SSM) product number as J8784A instead of J9095A.
■ Crash (PR_0000011049) — Copying a configuration with mirroring enabled from USB to
switch may trigger a software exception with a message similar to the following.
Software exception at cli_mirror.c:9953 -- in 'mftTask', task ID
= 0xa932bc0
■ VRRP (PR_0000003634) — When the VRRP Owner router (with preempt-delay-time
configured) is rebooting, the VRRP Backup router momentarily gives up Master role (but
does resume it) before the VRRP Owner is back online. This may cause an unexpected
outage.
■ DHCP Relay (PR_0000011726) — When the VRRP backup router is the master for the
network, DHCP Discover packets are relayed with a corrupted IP address for the Relay
Agent. This causes the server to look up a client address range for an invalid network
segment, and ultimately fail to communicate with the DHCP Server.
■ PC/Phone Authentication (PR_0000010104) — When using an IP phone in tandem with
a PC, sometimes the post-authentication VLAN assignment of the PC is delayed.
