*************************************************** ** FX64401 FILE ** ** DATE = 02/25/97 ** PHONE = 8-444-0017 ** CONTACT = SANDY PETERSON ** C/T = RD0011 ** USER = SANDYPE NODE = RALVM29 ** *************************************************** APARTXT NA02850 = TCP connection HUNG in FIN1 state. STOP_SYMPTOM APARTXT 22573 = User can't link to remote or local bridge in Lan Network Manager (LNM) when 6611 router has LNM configured and has specified the virtual ring segment number, but has NOT enabled DLSW SNA. This worked in v1r3, but changes to the v1r4 release for BAN broke it. Oops. Made small change to srbconf.c in proto_cfg to fix this. APARTXT NA02719 = When issuing fastpath command DLSW debug -conv a message is returned indication that DLS is not running. A phone call to remote users proves that this is not true. APARTXT NA02813 = There is a potential problem with the DLSw design whenever a HALTLS_N OW msg is sent and the conversation table entry is cleared immediately. It is possible that messages for that conversation may be in the pipe comin g from the other direction when the conv table entry is cleared. Once it is cleared, ANY other conversation can then use that entry. If those "e nroute" messages are then received after another conversation has been starte d using the freed up entry, then confusion and horror will abound for that ne w link station! The possibility of hitting this problem was dramatically increased wi th defect 22691, since that fix causes a lot more HALTLS_NOWs to be sent , instead of HALTFRAMEs. To minimize the risk, the algorithm for selecting an available Conver sation Table entry should be changed. Currently, the algorithm selects the first FREE_SLOT entry that it finds. It should be changed to select the first FREE_S LOT entry that has been free for a certain period of time. Thus, if messages w ere "enroute" for the recently cleared conversation, when they arrive, it will be k nown that the conversation is still in FREE_SLOT and not immediately used by so me other conversation. If enroute messages are received AFTER the waiting period for FREE_SL OT usage, then a potential problem still exists, but since the waiting period s hould be around two minutes or so, this potential should be very, very small. This fix should be made for all mainstream and side releases. APARTXT NA02756 = router configuration reports form system manager or from backdoor config -s or config -d do not show the current config if the cusotmer has made changes via the sytem manager config utility and not committed them. APARTXT NA02758 = Customer set the time on the router from the fastpath using the set time command. They sync'ed their network, but the routers started to show variations. They did not shutdown the routers after doing the update. APARTXT NA02814 = Can't remove all remote ports (also called selected networks) from an interface for AppleTalk. The workaround is to reboot the box; this deletes them. APARTXT NA02775 = It has been discovered during code maintenance that there are some places in the code that do a bzero of a conversation table entry when the code wants to "free" the entry. This is incorrect in that it wipes away some history of the entry, plus, creates an incorrect timestamp of the entry. The correct thing to do is just set the state to FREE_SLOT and set the timestamp. APARTXT NA02761 = activation of 99932 changes time zone to central standard time. This has the affect of changing the clock by some number of hours. APARTXT NA02815 = Several new dlstools options have been added to increase DLSw maintainability. The ability to produce a list of all DLSw semaphores and message queues has been added. Also, the ability to show info about a specific conversation has also been added. APARTXT NA02763 = On a Token Ring port configured for IPX and 802.5 SNAP, frames longer than 2247 are corrupted with 2 bytes of bogus data. APARTXT NA02817 = Improved rawstat statistics for kernel socket debug. APARTXT NA02818 = More info has been added to the convsumm output. In order to fit it all, the format of the output has been changed so that more fits into less area. APARTXT NA02773 = pd_ipxd.tables is prunned to 1 meg by mondisk, but some customers have networks that are bigger then that, /etc/sysmon.files needs to be changed to allow pd_ipxd.tables to be up to 2 meg in size. This apar is a dup of NA02605, which did not fix the problem. APARTXT NA02819 = The file dlsfmt needs to be updated to more closely match the trace point that have been added/changed in the code. APARTXT NA02820 = monproc should not be started by default. monproc will be commented out of /etc/sysmon.conf. It will still be shipped and could be start if for some insane reason somebody ever wants to start it on a particular router. APARTXT NA02852 = Provide priority queuing on OSPF sockets so that hello packets are still accepted when the socket is full (either with byte count or mbuf count). This will allow neighbors relationships to be preserved during times of heavy LSA Update activity such as was observed when Fuji Bank brought up the main trunk between their two data centers. APARTXT NA02851 = Created a tool that processes either an unformatted DLSw trace file, or an already generated formatted DLSw trace file and builds a new formatted trace that is easier to read and follow. It uses output from several dlstools commands in order to make the trace more readable. A more readable trace file makes for better problem debugging! This defect will only concern developers supporting DLSw on the 6611. It has no impact to the function of DLSw or the 6611 and is totally hidden from the customer. APARTXT NA02831 = There is a gated_dump caused by segmentation violation at gated if_conf_close procedure during frequent PPP UP/DOWN negotiation. APARTXT NA02854 = The imminent RIP version 2 support by NCP will not support multicast over Ethernet. This change will allow advertisements of subnets to compensate for NCP/3745's deficiencies. APARTXT NA02853 = When conversation table entries are used without being aged, a warning message should be placed in pd_sysmon.trc.
