Patch SB244-01 includes the following enhancements:  
PCR: 01285 Module: OSPF Network affecting: No  
When an interface went down (or was disabled) on an AS border router, the  
external routes were not removed from the routing domain. Such routes are  
now removed by premature aging.  
PCR: 02353  
Module: SWI  
Network affecting: No  
The learning unit was locking under heavy load. This could result in pings  
to a network device failing, and over an hour all dynamic MAC addresses  
could be lost. Sometimes a large number of pause frames were generated by  
the system. This issue has been resolved.  
PCR: 02359  
Module: IPG  
Network affecting: No  
When an IP Multihomed interface was used as an OSPF interface,  
neighbour relationships were only established if the IP interface for OSPF  
was added first in the configuration. Now, OSPF establishes neighbour  
relationships regardless of the IP Multihomed interface configuration order.

PCR: 02398  
Module: IPV6  
Network affecting: No  
The following issues have been resolved:  
It was possible to assign the same network on different IPV6 interfaces  
The loopback address was being added to other interfaces  
The tunnel configuration was not showing correctly in IPV6  
configuration commands  
RIPv6 now sets the metric of routes for interfaces that are DOWN to 16,  
and immediately sends responses when the link status of VLAN  
interfaces changes.  
PCR: 02401  
Module: IPV6  
Network affecting: No  
Neighbour discovery and PIM6 caused a fatal error when IPv6 was not  
enabled, or when the IPv6 feature license was not present. This issue has  
been resolved.

executed before the DELETE DVMRP INTERFACE command.  
PCR: 02410  
Module: VRRP  
Network affecting: No  
VRRP pre-empt mode was not working with advertisement updates of 1  
second or more because this did not allow for interface start time on startup.  
Now a check is made to verify that interfaces are UP before timers are  
started.  
PCR: 02413  
Module: IPG, IPX2  
Network affecting: No  
Static IP ARP entries could not be added to hardware at boot time. Also, an  
IPX circuit could not be deleted from hardware. These issues have been

Multicasting forwarding was not working correctly. This issue has been  
resolved.

Patch Release Note  
PCR: 02415  
Module: IPG  
Network affecting: No  
Packets with a RIP source address and next hop address that are not on the  
same subnet as the interface will now be processed. If the received next hop  
is not on the same subnet, it is treated as 0.0.0.0.  
PCR: 02420  
Module: SWI  
Network affecting: No  
On GBICs, the link was forced up when the transmit fibre was removed.  
Once up, the link could not be taken down again by removing the transmit  
fibre. This issue has been resolved.  
PCR: 02423  
Module: SWI  
Network affecting: No  
IGMP messages sometimes caused a fatal error. This issue has been  
resolved.  
PCR: 02425  
Module: IPG  
Network affecting: No  
Multicast downstream groups are now added and deleted correctly.  
Errata  
AT-9800 Series Switches do not have Ethernet interfaces (for example, eth0).  
Previously released documentation incorrectly states that these interface types  
are valid. AT-9800 switch ports are Ethernet ports, and these are referenced in  
commands with the PORT parameter.  
IPSec and ISAKMP are not available on the 2.4.4 release for SwitchBlade 4000  
Series Switches and AT-9800 Series Switches.  
Availability  
Patches can be downloaded from the Software Updates area of the Allied  
licence or password is not required to use a patch.
