Password Limitation BGP - All Products
The Vanguard Router supports limited passwords. Cisco supports MD5. Currently
we do not have Authentication compatible with Cisco. MD5 should be supported in
the Vanguard products in future releases. (DRFaa18829)
Workaround: At present, there is no workaround.
Building Older Images
Follow the instructions listed in the workaround to revert back to an older build
image (if you have installed the Vanguide Application Release 6.0.R00A from the
6.0.R00A CD). (DRFaa18867)
Workaround: Start Vanguide Software Builder, insert the older Vanguide release CD
(A release before 6.0.R00A, example: 5.6.R000 CD) into CD driver. In Vanguide
Software Builder, select the "Settings" menu, then change "CD ROM directory:" to
say D:\Motorola (if D is the CD driver letter). Then you are able to build an image
for a release before 6.0.R00A.
3270 BSC Message Size Limitation - Vanguard 6400 Series
An error may occur when 3270 BSC handles large message sizes. If a host sends a
message that is larger then the 254 characters allowed in a block, when transmitted
on the TPAD end, the first block ends with the End of Text Block (ETB). Once there
is an acknowledgment received for the first block, the TPAD sends a End of
Transmission (EOT) before sending the second block, which ends the message, and
has the BSC controller write to the device. This causes an error in some applications
as it expects the whole message in multiple blocks before the EOT. (DRFaa18075)
Workaround: At present, there is no workaround.
Vanguard 7300 Port Speed
The "Port Speed:" field in the FRI, PPP, X25, SDLC, and TBOP statistics screen is
the configured Port Speed for the Vanguard 7300 Serial Port. If the "Clock Source"
parameter in the FRI, PPP, X25, SDLC, or TBOP serial port is set to EXT or EXTLP,
the "Port Speed:" field in the FRI, PPP, X25, SDLC, and TBOP statistics screen may
not match the speed of the actual clock on the serial line. (DRCaa21740)
Workaround: To determine the actual speed on the serial line, an external datascope
or protocol analyzer needs to be attached. The "Clock Speed" parameter in the Port
Record needs to be configured to the actual Clock Speed that the port is attached to.
Improper Configuration for LLC-SDLC-Stations - Vanguard 7300,
Vanguard 6400 Series
LLC-SDLC-Station Records in the Second Ethernet Station Table become the
Records of the First Ethernet Station Table if the First Ethernet port record is deleted.
(DRCaa21097) (DRCaa22325)
Workaround: The first work around is not to delete the first Ethernet port. The
second work around is to re-configure the LLC-SDLC-Station Records with the
Ethernet port that has not been deleted.
