ExtremeWare 7.3.1b3 Release Notes 89
BGP
A Session Down Due to Max Prefix Limit Will Not Re-establish
BGP peering Session that goes down as a result of exceeding the peer maximum prefix limit restriction
without the Hold timeout option, will fail to re-establish itself, unless that BGP peer session is disabled
and enabled again (PD3-3333831).
Large Number of Access Profiles and a Peer Reset
You can add a maximum of 10 BGP community numbers in inbound and/or outbound route updates
using access-profiles and/or route-maps. If you add more communities, BGP might crash
(PD2-160136950).
Default Route Might Not Be Deleted
If you have the export of static BGP routes enabled, the IP route table has a default static route and BGP
is redistributing the default route using the
configure bgp add network command, then after you
delete the default route from BGP using the
configure bgp delete network command, the default
BGP route is not withdrawn from the neighbor’s table (PD2-159150038).
BGP Aggregation with a Maximum Prefix of 300,000
Disabling BGP, configuring the maximum prefix to 300,000 or more, enabling BGP aggregation,
configuring some aggregate routes, and enabling BGP generates error messages similar to the following
(PD2-147347223):
<Erro:BGP.Misc.DelAggrtNetErr> Count lost sync for Net 202.7.243.0 Mask 255.255.255.0
Redistributing BGP Routes to OSPF
Redistributing 70,000 or more BGP routes into OSPF depletes the system resources and the switch might
run out of memory, causing task exceptions. Do not redistribute 70,000 or more BGP routes into OSPF
(PD2-74932501).
IP Multicast Routing
PIM SM Switch Reboot will not Re-establish the Existing Multicast Traffic Present
Before Reboot
If multicast traffic is flowing through a switch configured for PIM SM, and that switch is rebooted, the
steam will be dropped (PD3-3359901).
PIM DM Switch Reboot Might Delay Re-establishment of Traffic
If multicast traffic is flowing through a switch configured for PIM DM, and that switch reboots, it might
take a long time to re-establish the traffic (PD3-3031243).
(S,G) Packets are Sent to CPU When Route to Source is Lost in Last Hop Router
If a PIM SM enabled router looses the route towards the Source (S) but has interested receivers (*,G), all
the multicast packets are directed to the CPU (PD3-2423281).
