Patch 86261-07 for Software Release 2.6.1
C613-10388-00 REV G
MAC address are now deleted from the all the internal tables for ports
where the learn limit has been exceeded.
On AT-8800 series switches, strict QoS scheduling is now enforced for ports
where egress rate limiting is applied. On Rapier i series switches, the same
QoS setup is now applied to all of the appropriate ports when setting up
egress rate limiting.
When saving the IP filter configuration, non-default values for the source IP
address mask were not always saved correctly. This issue has been resolved.
On AT-8800 series switches, if a port was set to use 10 Mbps full duplex with
the SET SWITCH PORT SPEED=10MBFULL command, there was a delay
before the port was set. This delay has been minimised.
On AT-8800 series switches, the temperature at which a temperature alarm
is generated has been increased.
Uplink modules on Rapier series switches sometimes did not enable a link
correctly. This issue has been resolved.
IGMP Snooping All-Group Entry
Because IGMP is an IP-based protocol, multicast group membership for VLAN
aware devices is on a per-VLAN basis. If at least one port in the VLAN is a
member of a multicast group, multicast packets will be flooded onto all ports in
the VLAN by default.
IGMP snooping enables the switch to forward multicast traffic intelligently on
the switch. The switch listens to IGMP membership reports, queries and leaves
messages to identify the switch ports that are members of multicast groups.
Multicast traffic will only be forwarded to ports identified as members of the
specific multicast group.
This enhancement allows network managers to prevent specified ports from
acting as IGMP all-group ports, and specify which ports are allowed to behave
as all-group entry ports, by using the ENABLE IP IGMP ALLGROUP
command.
For example, consider a video streaming service which has 15 channels. When
the switch receives IGMP membership reports destined for the address
239.0.0.2 from an unauthorised user, all 15 channels of multicast data floods to
that port, which may affect the service of the network. In order to avoid this,
the network manager decides whether or not to allow a particular port to
behave as an IGMP all-group port, e.g. port 8. Then, whenever the above IGMP
