C613-10356-00 REV A
Features in 86251-01
Patch 86251-01 includes the following enhancements:
IP is now informed when an Ethernet interface goes up or down, after a 2.5
second delay.
The ADD IPV6 HOST command was not accepting the INTERFACE
parameter when adding a host with a link-local address. This issue has been
resolved.
TCP did not send a TCP Reset message under some circumstances, for
example when the Telnet server was disabled. This issue has been resolved.
If ingress filtering was supported within trunk groups, ports with ingress
filtering enabled were erroneously added to the trunk group. This issue has
been resolved.
Some change actions, and the resending of prune messages were not
operating correctly. This issue has been resolved.
The test facility was not testing switch ports. This issue has been resolved.
