Software Improvements Part No. T0249-01, Rev A April, 2002 Page 19 of 55 Software Improvements Introduction This section describes specific improvements to the Applications Ware software. It includes: • Corrected limitations • Customer-initiated Change Requests Corrected Limitations Cache Clears on all Vanguard Products A RIP version 2 update clears the routing cache. (INDaa01320) This is fixed.
Software Improvements Part No. T0249-01, Rev A April, 2002 Page 20 of 55 Vanguard 6520, Vanguard 7300 Series Aggregation Table An Aggregation Table entry overrides the RIP route when the table entry matches the Static route or the RIP route for the IP address and the mask. (INDaa01153) This is fixed.
Software Improvements Part No. T0249-01, Rev A April, 2002 Page 21 of 55 IP Routing Tables RIP Entries - All Products RIP entries are not removed from the routing tables when RIP is disabled and IP parameters are booted. (INDaa01337) This is fixed. NAT and LCON Boot - All Products When a Vanguard is running Network Address Translation (NAT), NAT does not learn the IP address after a NAT table boot if the LCON is already in the active state. (INDaa00803) This is fixed.
Software Improvements Part No. T0249-01, Rev A April, 2002 Page 22 of 55 The TCP Module is not Forwarding a Message with the FIN Bit Set - All Products When placing a call between an H.323 port configured for G.723 (5.3kb, 5.3kb, 6.3kb, or 6.3kb) and another H.323 port that is configured for G.729A (8gkb, 8gkb3, 8gkb4, 8gkb5) the call should be cleared because H.323 doesn't support dynamic coder. The call is not being cleared; it is established but there is no audio. (DRCaa22073) This is fixed.

If you configure the string FRISNA-xSy as either a source or destination in the PVC Setup Table and then boot the node, the node will not come up. The node will repeatedly crash. Multiplexing IP and IPX in the same DLCI works fine.
Known Software Limitations Part No. T0249-01, Rev A April, 2002 Page 31 of 55 Ethernet PMC Installed - Ethernet Port Null - Vanguard 7300 Series The Ethernet port 101 does not work if you load a cmem that was created on a node that did not have an Ethernet PMC installed, into a node that does. If you attempt to look at the port’s statistics the node states that it does not exist.
Known Software Limitations Part No. T0249-01, Rev A April, 2002 Page 32 of 55 Vanguard 7300 Series ATM CBR Station Configuration Occasionally Constant Bit Rate ATM stations were deactivated. (The total aggregate PCR did not exceed the link speed.) This occurs because the CBR scheduling is very rigid and has to fit into the transmit scheduling table in a certain way. Even though it appears that bandwidth is available, if it does not fit in the scheduling table, the station is not created.
Known Software Limitations Part No. T0249-01, Rev A April, 2002 Page 33 of 55 Improper Configuration for LLC-SDLC-Stations - Vanguard 7300, Vanguard 6400 Series LLC-SDLC-Station Records in the Second Ethernet Station Table become the Records of the First Ethernet Station Table if the First Ethernet port record is deleted. (DRCaa21097) (DRCaa22325) Workaround: The first work around is not to delete the first Ethernet port.
Known Software Limitations Part No. T0249-01, Rev A April, 2002 Page 34 of 55 Vanguard 7300 Series CLI setscript with T1/VPMT does not Download CLI setscript with T1/VPMT does not download after using the “getscript”. CLI errors occur because the vpmt is configured before the voice port or the t1 port. (DRFaa16143) Workaround: If the CLI set script file includes the “create vpmt” statement, move it behind the create virtual port statement.
Known Software Limitations Part No. T0249-01, Rev A April, 2002 Page 35 of 55 Voice Server Card Removal - Vanguard 7300 Series If the voice server card is removed from the T1 card and there is a voice configuration in the node, the node will not boot. (DRCaa22978) Workaround: Delete the voice configuration or default the node before removing the voice server card. Vanguard 7300 Series BGP Initial Configuration The initial configuration of BGP requires a warm boot.
