BayStream Version 6.10
(Revision 14)
This Bay Networks
®
report describes fixes to anomalies found in BayStream Multiservice Software
Version 6.10 (Revision 14) and BayStream Site Manager Software Version 6.10 (Revision 14).
Anomaly: OSPF Max Aged external type 1 routes are not getting aged out of the IP routing
table.
Number: 32438
Description: When a router learns the same route from two sources (for example, an external type
1 with a mask of /24 and an external type 2 with a mask of /24) and an update is not
received for the external type 1 route, it gets max aged in the OSPF LSDB
but not
aged out of the IP routing table.
Resolved: The software is modified to properly manage OSPF routes.
________________________________________________________________________________
Anomaly: The Statistical Data Collection and Reporting software calculated the statistics
file to be much larger than it was.
Number: 32670
Description: When the Statistical Data Collection and Reporting software attempted to write a file
to the flash, it calculated the file size to be larger than it actually was. The file was not
written to the flash and a warning message was logged.
Resolved: The software is revised to calculate the file size correctly.
________________________________________________________________________________
2
BayStream Multiservice Software Version 6.10 (Revision 14)
Anomaly: The Statistical Data Collection and Reporting software record header showed
the wrong file size.
Number: 30068
Description: The Statistical Data Collection and Reporting software did not insert the correct file
size in the record header because the congestion control record size was also
calculated for a circuit that did not have congestion control enabled.
Resolved: The software now calculates the files size and inserts it in the record header
correctly.
________________________________________________________________________________
Anomaly: The wfStatsDcLbcEntry counters line byte counter stops updating.
Number: 31724
Description: The wfStatsDcLbcEntry counters stop updating after several days of successful
updates. If the line byte count
is unloaded from the slot and reloaded,
wfStatsDcLbcEntry counters update for several days. Then the problem reoccurs.
Resolved: The software is modified to update line byte count correctly.
________________________________________________________________________________
Anomaly: When LAPF is disabled, a Trap 12 should be generated.
Number: 33043
Description: When the LAPF entry is disabled, a Trap 12 was not generated. A Trap 12 should be
generated so that NMS is notified of the change of state for the L2 entry.
Resolved: The software is modified to generate the correct trap message when LAPF is
disabled.
________________________________________________________________________________
BayStream Multiservice Software Version 6.10 (Revision 14)
3
Anomaly: The SYNC port did not decode the Calling Party Information Element properly.
Number: 32831
Description: A SYNC port was configured with a local E.164 address of 2132 and a Calling Party
Information Element was set to mandatory. When the SETUP message was sent with
the proper calling party number, the call could not be setup. The slot generates a
debug log message. Although the slot did not decode the information element
properly, the slot did process outgoing calls correctly.
The software incorrectly managed the value of the extension bit in the calling address
information element (IE). This prevented determining the calling E.164 address
correctly.
Resolved: The software is modified to correctly determine the calling E.164 address.
________________________________________________________________________________
Anomaly: When a call request message goes to the egress port, the DLCI should not be
specified.
Number: 33139
Description: When a SETUP message sent to an Egress BNX port (the Called port) across the
frame relay network, the DLCI information element must contain the DLCI of the
ingress BNX port (the calling port) and should not be used to determined the DLCI at
the egress BNX port. The egress BNX port should select the next available DLCI
locally.
Resolved: The software code is modified so that egress port selects the next available DLCI
locally.
________________________________________________________________________________
4
BayStream Multiservice Software Version 6.10 (Revision 14)
Anomaly: If throughput negotiation is in force, the LLCP IE should be included in the
CONNECT message
Number: 33431
Description: Two incoming calls were in a proceeding state with the link layer core parameters
information element included in the setup message from the DTE. The incoming
throughput was less than the maximum incoming throughput per SVC in each of the
setup messages. The sum of the setup messages was greater than the total incoming
negotiable throughput. When the first SVC connected, it connected at the requested
rate. The second SVC connected at the minimum allowable rate. No indication was
given to the calling user that the negotiation had taken place for the second
connection. The software should have included the LLCP information element in the
connect message for the negotiated call. Presently, the LLCP is not being included in
the connect message for this call.
Resolved: The should not include the LLCP information element in the connect message as
described. If LLCP information is not included in the connect message from the
called user, but is included in the setup message from the network (to the user’s
direction), the call should be dropped by the network.
________________________________________________________________________________
Anomaly: The throughput is calculated incorrectly from the committed burst rate.
Number: 32426
Description: The throughput is calculated incorrectly from the committed burst rate.
Resolved: The software is modified to calculate throughput correctly.
________________________________________________________________________________
BayStream Multiservice Software Version 6.10 (Revision 14)
5
Anomaly: A virtual circuit cannot be used for an SVC following the dynamic deletion of a
PVC.
Number: 32466
Description: In a configuration with 250 PVCs in the range of 32 through 281, SVCs were
connecting on the slot beginning at 991 and decrementing. Prior to the SVCs reaching
PVC crossover, when the PVC entries were deleted, SVC requests to use them were
rejected and a warning message was generated that indicated that the software would
create a virtual circuit that already existed for DLCI 259.
Resolved: The software is modified to check the availability of the DLCI and virtual circuit.
________________________________________________________________________________
Anomaly: Burst size was calculated incorrectly for SVCs
Number: 32563
Description: A circuit with a PVC contained the correct value for burst size, but a connected SVC
had a different value for burst size. The values should be the same. However, because
the wfFrSwVcEntry.wfFrSwVcInBc parameter is defined in bytes, the calculations
were skewed by a factor of 8.
Resolved: The software is modified to calculate burst size correctly.
________________________________________________________________________________
Anomaly: According to FRF.4, the Preferred/Exclusive bit should always be 1, not 0.
Number: 32661
Description: When updating the DLCI IE, the SVC software did not always set the Preferred/
Exclusive bit to 1.
Resolved:
The software is modified to set the Preferred/Exclusive bit to 1 when it updates the
DLCI information element.
________________________________________________________________________________
6
BayStream Multiservice Software Version 6.10 (Revision 14)
Anomaly: The BayStream software generated an event message bearing the incorrect cause
code.
Number: 33790
Description: When the BayStream software received a SETUP message in which the calling party
address was not identical to the local port address, the call request was rejected with a
message bearing a cause code that indicated “Invalid IE.” In this case, it would be
more accurate to issue a rejection message with a cause code indicating “Unallocated
(unassigned) number.”
Resolved: The BayStream software is modified to generate a message including the cause
code UNASSIGNED_NUMBER when it receives a SETUP message in which the
calling party address is not identical to the local port address.
__________________________________________________________________________
Anomaly: The FRSW event message that is generated when the BayStream software
receives a SETUP message bearing an incorrect calling party address should
include the incorrect address.
Number: 33791
Description: When the BayStream software encountered a SETUP message in which it could not
determine the calling party address, it generated the following FRSW event message:
# 2: 10/10/97 23:05:45.769 INFO SLOT 13 FRSW Code: 184
cct 67, signaling gate calling address IE error: can't find calling address in local table
on call reference 94.
The event message would be more informative if it included the offending address.
Resolved: Two event messages have been added to the BayStream software to provide more
information in such cases.
__________________________________________________________________________
Anomaly: The
-l
option of the
diag
command did not work for the ARE/DS3 module.
Number: 28699
Description: The diag -l option did not clear the diagnostic LEDs on the ARE/DS3 module. This
option currently works with the FREs.
Resolved: The diag -l command is implemented for the ARE/DS3 module.
________________________________________________________________________________
BayStream Multiservice Software Version 6.10 (Revision 14)
7
Anomaly: The FR entity is not available in the Site Manager Trap Configuration menu.
Number: 32264
Description: The FR entity was not available in the Site Manager Trap Configuration menu.
Therefore, this trap event could not be sent to the SNMP Manager. In addition, the
following entities should be included in the Trap Configuration menu options: ATM,
ATMINTF, BGP3, BGP4, BGP,DVMRP, EGP, FTP, IGMP, ISDN, PCAP, PING, PPP,
RARP, SR, ST2, SWSERV,TELNET, TNC, WCP.
Resolved: All the entities mentioned in the description have been added to the Site
Manager Trap Configuration menu.
________________________________________________________________________________
Anomaly: Site Manager when attempting to configure Multiline on three QMCT logical
lines.
Number: 32286
Description: Site Manager failed to configure Multiline on three QMCT1 logical lines.
Configuring Multiline on two logical lines was successful but the third logical line
failed.
Resolved: The software is modified to enable configuring multiline on three QMCT logical
lines.
________________________________________________________________________________
Anomaly: The STA entity was not available in the Site Manager Trap Configuration menu.
Number: 32474
Description: The STA entity was not available in the Site Manager Trap Configuration menu.
However, STA traps did occur when "All Entities" was selected.
Resolved: The STA entity has been added to the Site Manager Trap Configuration menu.
________________________________________________________________________________
8
BayStream Multiservice Software Version 6.10 (Revision 14)
Anomaly: Site Manager displayed the wrong part number for the DS3 card.
Number: 32581
Description: Site Manager displayed is AG13110114 for the DS3 card. The correct part number is
AG13110115.
Resolved: The software now displays the correct part number for the DS3 card.
________________________________________________________________________________
Anomaly: The LAPF entity is not available in the Site Manager Trap Configuration menu.
[RVA V7-005]
Number: 33031
Description: The LAPF entity is not available in the Site Manager Trap Configuration menu. To
monitor SVC functionality, the FRSW and ALL options must be picked.
Resolved: The LAPF entity has been added to the Site Manager Trap Configuration menu.
________________________________________________________________________________
Anomaly: Site Manager deleted each wfFrSwVcEntry with FRSW/Interworking with 0/32
VPI.
Number: 33888
Description: If a Frame Relay to ATM Interworking PVC was configured using VPI/VCI 0/32, and
Site Manager was used to delete the same PVC, Site Manager deleted each
wfFRSwVcEntry until it found the corresponding wfFRSwVcEntry that matched the
initial delete.
Resolved: The software is modified to delete the correct PVC.
