This issue has been resolved. PCR: 03180 Module: IPG Level: 3 If all 32 VLAN interfaces had IP addresses attached, only 31 VLANs could be multihomed. Now all 32 VLAN interfaces with IP addresses can be multihomed.
Patch Release Note PCR: 03205 Module: DHCP Level: 2 The following issues with DHCP have been resolved: • DHCP assigned an incorrect IP address to clients shifting from a relayed to a non-relayed range. Gateway checks have been added to resolve this issue. • DHCP clients shifting between relayed ranges were not always recognised, and were occasionally allocated incorrect addresses. • DHCP offered entries did not time out after a NAK on a bad lease time request.
Patch 86251-05 For Rapier Switches and AR800 Series Modular Switching Routers PCR: 03232 Module: BGP 15 Level: 3 Values for the KEEPALIVE and HOLDTIME parameters in the ADD BGP PEER and SET BGP PEER commands were not interacting correctly.

PCR: 03256 Module: MLD Level: 3 MLD did not respond correctly when it was in exclude mode and it received a request block. This issue has been resolved.
Patch 86251-05 For Rapier Switches and AR800 Series Modular Switching Routers PCR: 03291 Module: PPP 17 Level: 2 A PAP authentication failure with PPPoE could cause a fatal error. This issue has been resolved. PCR: 03292 Module: IP Level: 3 When adding static routes with the ADD IP ROUTE command, the order of the route in the route table was the reverse of the order entered. This issue has been resolved.
Patch Release Note PCR: 03321 Module: DHCP, Q931, TELNET Level: 4 Debugging for DHCP and Q931 was not being disabled when a Telnet session finished. This issue has been resolved. PCR: 03332 Module: TTY Level: 2 A log message is now created when a user is forced to logout from an asynchronous port when another user (i.e. someone connected via Telnet) resets the asynchronous connection with the RESET ASYN command.
Patch 86251-05 For Rapier Switches and AR800 Series Modular Switching Routers PCR: 03351 Module: DHCP 19 Level: Several issues with the DHCP Server have been resolved. PCR: 03352 Module: PPP Level: 3 The MRU parameter in the SET PPP command was incorrectly handled as an interface parameter when the configuration script was generated. This meant that the OVER parameter was omitted. The MRU parameter is now correctly handled as a link parameter.
Patch Release Note PCR: 03372 Module: IPG Level: 3 When a Rapieri Series Switch was using layer 3 multicast protocols, IGMP group members on the upstream interface for the multicast stream would always be forwarded to, even if they left the group. This issue has been resolved. PCR: 03373 Module: HTTP Level: 3 The HTTP proxy server terminated a session when uploading a large file. This issue has been resolved.

Patch 86251-05 For Rapier Switches and AR800 Series Modular Switching RoutersSHOW IP IGMP DEBUG ■ 33 software release 86s-251 and patch 86251-04 are loaded, but the patch was corrupted after a restart or reboot. The Rapier16fi requires the 86251-04 patch to operate correctly. Without this patch the port map is incorrect. An incorrect port map will cause problems if the configuration file refers to a port number. The 2.5.3 software release for Rapier16fi switches will resolve this port map issue.
SHOW IP IGMP DEBUG Patch Release Note Although the ifIndex and Interface numbers do not match, this is the correct port map. You do not need to take any more action if you have the correct port map. An incorrect port map If the 86251-04 patch is not installed, or has become corrupt, the output from the SHOW INTERFACE command will be similar to that in Figure 2 on page 34.
