APARTXT NA03080 = Box IP filters cannot be disabled if port IP filters are enabled Likewise, port IP filters cannot be disabled if box IP are enabled. APARTXT NA03253 = Incorrect output for output from interface stat command. APARTXT NA03092 = Mss and the 6611 connnected via 6611 TR --8272--155mb fiber to the Mss will not allow OSPF to come Full. Acee found that the max packet size for 6611 ospf/gated was 4k and the Mss was send ing us 4490. See Acee for futher details. APARTXT NA03214 = When a 6611 is configured for transparent bridging and NETBIOS over DLSw without configuring SNA over DLSw, NETBIOS does not work. The workaround is to turn on SNA over DLSw at the box level.

This code level can be achieved by one of the following: o Applying NP00383 to a base V1R3 system o Applying NP99915 to a prior release (NP99915 is V1R3 with NP00383). o Applying NP00383 on a NP00380 ( or NP00381) system. NOTE: If you are starting at V1R3 base level, you must receive and apply NP00383 prior to using NP00604. DO NOT apply NP00383 and NP00604 in the same step. Customers already at PTF level NP00600, NP00601, NP00602 or NP00603 will not be required to reject NP00600, NP 00601, NP00602, NP00603 they can install PTF NP00604 directly on top of NP006 00. PTF INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS FOR NP00604 (NEW SERVICE PROCESS) __________________________________________________________ To apply NP00604, first load the image in the transfer directory, then use "Apply Software Updates" to select NP00604 from the available PTFs. Unlike updates in the old service process, the user is no longer prompted to commit applied updates or to reject applied EPTFs. The new service process separates the action of code application and actual code use (activation). Therefore, the apply step does not cause a reboot (IPL) since the running code has not changed. The activation of the updates is achieved via the "Activate Applied Updates" function. When updates are activated, a reboot (IPL) occurs and the selected updates become the running code. Selecting a different running level is done by activating a new level (that has been previously applied). Therefore, code updates must be activated after they are applied. This new activation step allows the selection a PTF level and an associated EPTF level. (If you have no EPTFs yet, be sure to select "NONE" on the EPTF selection screen). CHANGE IN ENGINEERING PTF (EPTF) SERVICE: _________________________________________ Once NP00604 has been activated, the selector screen for EPTFs will limit your choice to a single EPTF (or "NONE"). If there is an implicit prerequisite relationship among the EPTF selected and any applied EPTFs,then those prerequisite EPTFs will be activated automatically. If you are running with the new service process prior to NP00600, you should select only ONE of the EPTFs listed in your selector, even if more than one selection is allowed. Selecting more than ONE EPTF may result is a combination that was never intended to operate together. EPTFs intended to operate together have a prerequisite relationship that identifies the correct hierarchical order. REJECT PROCESSING _________________ Unlike the old service process, selecting another version of running code is done via "activate" rather than via "reject". Activating at a different code level does not remove the other updates, it just does not include them as part of the running code. Therefore, one can switch back and forth among various service levels by activating the desired level. The reject process is the method used to remove (erase) the code update from the machine. After reject, that code is no longer available on the machine unless the PTF or EPTF is loaded and applied again. Any PTF or EPTF that is not active can be rejected. Rejecting an PTF that is a prereq of another PTF will also cause that PTF to be rejected. Also, when an PTF has associated EPTFs, all those EPTFs will be rejected (erased) when the PTF is rejected. To reject a PTF that is currently active, you must first activate at a level that does not include that PTF.
