Problem Reports
PR 86669
IPv6 Router Advertisement decrementing timers are not supported for prefix valid lifetimes or prefix
preferred lifetimes.
Workaround: Use IPv6 Router Advertisement fixed timers.
PR 86959
IPv6 debug packet direction options are ignored.
Workaround: IPv6 debug packet direction will always display all the options.
PR 88830
On an OS8800 switch, when RIPng tries to add a route to the kernel, it fails because a static route already
exists in the kernel. RIPng is not informed of this event, so RIPng assumes that the RIPng route has been
added to the kernel. On deletion of the static route, RIPng does not try to add the route again since it
assumes that the route already exists in the kernel.
Workaround: After deleting the static route disable/enable RIPng. The route should then be learned.
PR 90746
IPv6 will not function on an OS6600 series switch after a takeover or failover.
Workaround: After deleting the static route disable / enable RIPng. The route should then be learned.
PR 90942
On an OS7000 series switch, IPv6 does not prevent the addition of an address whose prefix is all zeros.
This will result in the unspecified address being added as the subnet router anycast address.
Workaround: Do not add an address whose prefix is all zeros.
