Patch 86241-05 for Software Release 2.4.1
C613-10340-00 REV E

After sending a DHCP NAK in response to a client’s DHCP REQUEST with 
a bad lease time, the switch would fail to age out its corresponding DHCP 
OFFER entry.  This issue has been resolved.

The  switch would disassert the AIS, IDLE, LOF and LOS alarms if the 
defect  conditions that had caused the alarm were disasserted, then 
reasserted before the alarms had been disasserted.  This issue has been 
resolved.

When a static link local address was configured using the ADD IPV6 
INT=xxx IP=yyy command, it was not reflected in the switch’s dynamic 
configuration.  Consequently, the command would be absent from the 
switch’s configuration after CREATE CONFIG  and switch RESTART 
commands were executed. This issue has been resolved.

The ADD BGP PEER command MAXPREFIX parameter now has a default 
of 24000, instead of OFF.  Previously, with no maximum prefix checking by 
default, if the switch received a very large number of prefixes from a BGP 
peer, buffer exhaustion could result in a software restart.

The SHOW OSPF NEIGHBOUR command did not reflect a change made to 
the router  priority on a dynamic OSPF interface of a neighbouring router.  
This issue has been resolved.

Link state advertisements could incorrectly show an area as a stub area.  
This happened during the time when a Direct Route (DR) was removed 
from a configuration and before a Direct Backup Route (BDR), or an Other 
Direct Route (Other DR) was elected. This issue has been resolved.

The switch would flood DVMRP unicast messages to all ports in the VLAN.  
This issue has been resolved. 

ICMP packets originating from the switch used the wrong Equal Cost 
Multiple Path route. This issue has been resolved. Also, improvements have 
been made to ensure that the ICMP packet will be transmitted over the best 
available route. If the best route becomes unavailable, a new route will be 
found, if available, so that the ICMP packet continues to reach the 
destination address.

The ECPAC card was not working correctly.  This issue has been resolved.
