6 Patch Release Note PCR: 40473 Module: IPG Level: 2 When IP filters are configured on IP interfaces of the switch, all IP routing must occur in software. To achieve this, the IP forwarding table in the ASIC must be emptied. There was an issue whereby Interim IP route entries (IP routes for which there is not yet an ARP entry for the nexthop address) were not removed from the hardware IP forwarding table when an IP filter was added to an IP interface.

8 Patch Release Note PCR: 40540 Module: SWI Level: 2 Problems could occur if hardware filters or QOS policies were created using a classifier matching on: a Layer 2 attribute other than MAC Destination (e.g. MACSA or VLAN ID), and one or more other parameters that match on IPv4 frames (e.g. IP address, UDP/TCP parameters), and another classifier matching on Layer 2 attributes only. The possible problems were; a generic Layer 2 match only succeeding if the f
