When a RIP v1 interface on one OS6600 series Router connects to a Rip v2 interface on another OS6600
Router, then Rip v1-based host-routes will be created by the Rip v1 router for each of the existing Rip v2
routes and added to the IP Routing Table. These will then be aged out after reaching metric 16 and then
removed. This is done periodically once in every 4 or 5 minutes. This happens since host-route support is
not disabled by default on the Rip v1 or Rip v2 routers.
Workaround: The host-route support should be disabled on each of the Rip v1 or v2 routers. The host-
routes will no longer be generated.
PR 80494
On the OmniSwitch 6624/6648, packets routed between IP-SNAP & Ethernet 2 are not translated
correctly. The Intel IXE2424 ASIC used in the 6600 platform does not support translations from SNAP to
Ethernet II packets.
Workaround: There is no known workaround at this time.

Route 127.1.0.0/16 shows in the IP forwarding table on a OS7000. The route is used for internal communi-
cation between CMMs and stacking NIs. There is no side effect on normal switch operation.
Workaround: There is no known workaround at this time.

Problem Reports
PR 54290
The switch will only change an IPX network field of zero to the appropriate source network when the first
zero packet arrives on the OS7000. After that point the IPX packets are passing through the HRE, and
cannot be changed.
Workaround: There is no known workaround at this time.
PR 61257
The show ipx interface <vlan> command displays "WAN processing not enabled on this interface." on
the OS7000. Since WAN connections are not allowed in this release, the WAN state of the interface will
always be "not enabled."
Workaround: There is no known workaround at this time.
