--------------------------- Lantronix --------------------------- LB2 Bridge and LSB4 Ethernet Switch --------------------------- Software Release Notes --------------------------- Version V2.0/2 April 20, 1995 Release notes are also available using the Lantronix media support and download system or via anonymous FTP from ftp.lantronix.com. Contact Lantronix or your local reseller for more information. Release Summary --------------- V2.0/2 ------ V2.0/2 consolidates both LB2 and LSB4 into a common code base. Even though both products still have separate load files, they now share the functional software base. Aside from this new development, this release is a maintenance release designed to improve product performance and to fix outstanding problems. Resolved Problems in V2.0/2 --------------------------- Multicast and broadcast packets were propagated when a port is in a blocked state due to a spanning tree decision. Memory corruption resulting from a stale memory pointer. The set/define and purge/clear filter commands lost a small amount of memory. Added the command show/list protocol ip to the command set. The ability to put spaces in a bridge name has been removed. The display format for the show system counters and show system status screens was incorrect. The save snmp command would not correctly save SNMP information. Normal packet processing was sometimes interrupted during "weeding" of old nodes from the node address table. The node address table weeding interval time was not correctly implemented. The secondary IP gateway address could not be defined. Packets received with an overflow status were never processed and returned to the free packet pool. This would cause ports to "overflow" and never return to a forwarding state. The LB2 name was not set correctly after NVR was initialized to factory defaults. Memory corruption resulted from incorrect processing of old style Novell SAP packet. If the IP address for the bridge had not been set or defined, the bridge would issue an "illegal subnet mask" error when booting. When manipulating port priority values, the value actually saved and displayed was not the value entered. A SNMP query for the number of interfaces was always returning one rather than the correct number of ethernet interfaces. Known Problems -------------- All references to EPSCON (the Novell configuration utility program) in the documentation should be replaced with BRCON.
