20 Patch Release Note
Patch 86231-10 for Software Release 2.3.1
C613-10328-00 REV J
Features in 86231-06
Patch file details are listed in Table 5:
Patch 86231-06 includes all issues resolved and enhancements released in
previous patches for Software Release 2.3.1, and the following enhancements:
OSPF has been modified to utilise a 0.1s tick, as opposed to a 20ms tick.
IKE failed to negotiate with a peer when the negotiation was triggered by
the PRENEGOTIATE parameter of the CREATE ISAKMP POLICY and SET
ISAKMP POLICY commands. This issue has been resolved.
OSPF performance has been improved by running it as a separate thread.
The switch now delays sending link traps immediately after a restart to give
the link to the trap host time to come up. A similar change has been made
for the cold start trap. After a 10s delay, all interfaces which are UP have a
link trap generated for them. After that, link traps are sent as normal.
Configuring IP route filters did not stop flooding of AS external LSAs to
neigbours at startup. The result was that the neigbour received the AS LSAs
and added the corresponding routes into its own routing table. However,
after some time (e.g. 1 hour), the AS external LSAs in the neigbour’s
database disappeared, but the corresponding routes were still in its routing
table. This issue has been resolved.
If a flash write error occurred when a file was being written, the file’s
directory entry was deleted leaving a partial file in flash. Subsequent
attempts to write the file failed because a file of the same name already
existed. This issue has been resolved.
In configurations containing a large number of OSPF routes, the SPF
calculation could take a long time. During this calculation, other events
would not be processed. This patch reduces the time required for an SPF
calculation and allows the switch to respond to other events in the mean
time. This patch also improves the performance of flow cache updates.
