Supported Platforms and Modules This version is supported by the following platforms: Note: This version allows the application software to support multiple boot versions. The config.ini file defines the lowest boot version supported (BootRomVersion) and the highest boot version supported (BootRomVersionInPackage). If the current boot version on the device is within these parameters, no boot upgrade is required. Platform Lowest Boot Version 4.53 4.33 Highest Boot Notes and Exceptions Version 6.01 6.07 For Application Switches 1 and 2 with a SynApps license, it is recommended to use 256MB with this version. Large BWM and/or Application Security configurations that fit in 128MB in previous versions might require 256MB with this version. When upgrading Application Switch 1 from version 4.21.02, boot upgrade is required. Use the following procedure: 1. Reboot the device, stop at the countdown and download the new boot

Fixed in version 4.38.01DL


Item 1. 2. 3. Description The trace-route command returned incorrect times Port Rules were not kept in configuration download from the device. Client couldn't create more than 10 local users in the user table, although 100 users were supported. 4. While LinkProof encountered two routers who shared the same MAC address the device crashed with the error: 'not correct FW physical addr table index.' 5. LinkProof stopped sending NTP client update requests after a valid SNMP trap was sent to the device 6. LinkProof crashed when using BWM . The issue was identified as an unreleased memory buffer. 7. When working in Redundancy modo (VRRP) after a failover (preemtion was enabled), when the master device came back online it didn't send GARP . arp-interface-grouping was set to 'avoid' 8. The device crashed after the command 'redundancy vrrp trap-associated-id' was issued from console. 9. When a Health Monitoring binding configuration was created, automatically created health check were available for binding . Binding them caused on some occasions errors since the HC could have been removed reboot. The behavior was fixed. 10. Ping with Source option is not working and is replaced with default gateway option. Bug ID 60363 89618 86831

Fixed in version 4.38.01


Item Description 11. In a VRRP configuration, the ARP cache of the primary LinkProof displayed its own VRID MAC Address. As a result, LinkProof stopped forwarding traffic to the NHR. 12. In version 4.37.11, LinkProof was accessible to SNMP traffic, although it was explicitly blocked on specific interfaces via the security interface. 13. In versions 6.1.0.01 and below, when LinkProof responded to an the inbound DNS query, the response DNS packet carried the incorrect corresponding VLAN tag ID. 14. When working with SmartNAT in a full Class C range, the configuration was changed to include a specific No NAT IP address. The No NAT configuration could not be added until LinkProof was rebooted. 15. When configuring application grouping through WBM, if the client table mode was set to Layer 3, LinkProof generated the wrong error message. 16. In a VRRP configuration, the primary LinkProof displayed the console message "ICMPP_prtunrch_reply_ind: no buffer to send to a user", and then after a while froze. 17. After upgrading from version 4.35.07 to 4.37.12DL, the secondary LinkProof did not respond to the primary ICMP requests, and vice versa. 18. After upgrading from version 4.35.07 to 4.37.12, LinkProof used an incorrect MAC address to respond to a packet coming from internal clients that were accessing a VIP on LinkProof. 19. In version 4.37.12 AS3, when passing FTP control traffic in passive mode, the internal IP address of the server, instead of the public IP address, was sent to the client within the payload. 20. On LinkProof AS3, using FTP active mode inbound sessions handling and the accelerator was enabled, in some cases the data session went to a different NHR than the one the control session came from. 21. When LinkProof stopped responding to ICMP requests, LinkProof reached its NHR Tracking Table size limit, and then crashed. 22. When downloading a LinkProof configuration via the CLI and uploading the same configuration to an identical device, LinkProof generated the following console error: "Error 07 in loading configuration - variable number 01 of SNMP packet 637, variable name rsMLBSubnetSrvrStatus". The error was related to the grouping policies setup on LinkProof. 23. When creating a destination grouping rule using APSolute Insite version 2.89, the message "Error in MIB label " was generated in APSolute Insite. This error did not occur using WBM. The bug was on identified in LinkProof and not in APSolute Insite.

Fixed in version 4.38.01


Item Description 24. When trying to add application port grouping rules, the message "Resource Unavailable" was displayed, even though source and destination grouping were working as expected. 25. When using SmartNAT with Dynamic NAT, LinkProof did not rewrite the source MAC address when it received a response from the NHR. 26. When creating one BWM policy rule for FTP sessions with the name of ''ftp'', a 'Generic Error" was displayed in WBM, and LinkProof then crashed and rebooted. 27. When a DNS AAAA record request was sent to LinkProof, and the record existed as an A record, LinkProof responded with a "Record Doesn't Exist" message with the Authorization not being set in the Answer. This resulted in the request being discarded by DNS Servers as "Lame Delegation". The behavior was fixed to include the AA Flag. 28. When using application grouping, when creating an incorrect application port entry, the error message was misleading and displayed an illegal port range. Bug ID

Fixed in version 4.38.00


Item Description 29. When configuring Application Grouping using WBM, the value 65535 had to be used to mean "other." The fix included adding the "other" option to represent any non-explicit value. 30. IP address entries in the IP Fast Forwarding Table (IPFFT) that did not belong to any of the device's interface IP networks were not cleared when these addresses were later used in configuring LinkProof. 31. When multiple default gateways were configured, only the gateway that was currently in the routing table could be deleted. 32. Using RIP, the default value for AutoSend was set to Enabled, which should have been set to Disabled because AutoSend is not standard as per the RIP RFC. 33. When reading the values of the octet counters from the following OIDs, the OIDs generated incorrect 64bit numbers: 1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.10.1 = Counter64: 1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.10.2 = Counter64: 1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.6.1 = Counter64: 1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.6.2 = Counter64:

Fixed in version 4.38.00


Item Description 34. In version 4.37.10, when a static route was added and a metric defined, the static route could not later be deleted. 35. After tuning the device, LinkProof did not correctly check if enough memory was available for an application to run. 36. When working with VRRP, the ARP Table incorrectly included the VRID MAC address of its own associated addresses. 37. When issuing the command "system device-info", the output included incorrect information for device registration. 38. On an Application Switch 3 platform, LinkProof did not change the TCP sequence number correctly for active FTP sessions. 39. When using Destination Grouping, if you deleted a destination group, or set the recovery or grace timers to values > 0, the device rebooted. Bug ID 70826 73010 77358 78848 80167 82594

Fixed in version 4.37.12


Item 1. Description The help display for 'lp global connectivity-check method help' was incorrect. 2. The CLI ping command did not have a help display when no flags were added. 3. For versions 4.35.04 and 4.35.05, the device had to be rebooted for the Selective Interface Grouping feature to start working. 4. For versions 4.3x, the CLI command 'system device-info' displayed incorrect CPU information. 5. In WBM, when changing the Static NAT configuration of existing entries from Regular to Backup, and vice versa, the Submit button was missing from the pane. 6. On Application Switch 2, when issuing the CLI 'net l2-information" command, the wrong information was displayed showing an '@' instead of the port numbers. 7. On Application Switch 1, when issuing the CLI 'system device info' command, the Media Type was incorrect. It should have been "on board flash" as the Application Switch does not have a Compact Flash. 8. For version 4.35.07DL, a static NAT entry was mapping to an interface IP even though static NAT was not working correctly. 9. On Application Switch 2, during an SNMP task while receiving a configuration upload, the device crashed. 10. When working with Health Monitoring HTTP health-checks, LinkProof received the HTTP response code 411 for the HTTP POST health-checks.

Fixed in version 4.37.12


Item Description According to the RFC, a Length Header must be included in the HTTP data in the POST request, but LinkProof did not include it. 11. When editing or creating the destination IP in the Client View filters table, the Client View did not find the correct matches when checking the filteredclient-table. 12. When editing an existing View Filter for the Client Views destination IP resulted in the following error: "setting the vlan tag field must be in range ..." 13. On an Application Switch 1 Alterra device using LinkProof Build 26 and where there was only one port, auto-negotiation was set to "off" but immediately reverted to "on." Setting the physical port Auto-Negotiation to 'off' resulted in the changes being accepted and the Auto-Negotiation configuration immediately reverting to 'on'. When working in out-of-path mode with no Client Table, if a fragmented packet entered the device from a different port than the port of the original fragment, it was forwarded to same port as the original. In some cases, this caused traffic loops. After upgrading from version 4.37.07 to 4.37.10 and using a redundant configuration (where the device had multiple associated IP addresses), when the Master device regained control, the Backup device kept trying to become the Master. When working with APSolute Insite version 2.70.17DL (build 22) in order to copy the configuration, SMTP and NTP settings switched back to the default configuration after the copy. On a CAS platform, after upgrading from version 4.35.04 to 4.37.10, enabling Any-Any Bandwidth Management rules dropped all of the VPN tunnels. Health Monitoring Module started toggling up and down after the device was up for 248 Days. After an upgrade from LP 4.21.07 to LP 4.35.07 Health Monitoring parameters changed (Check Interval). When working in redundancy mode (VRRP) and the primary device took over from the secondary device, after a short period the primary device crashed and rebooted. On an Application Switch 3 platform, when working with VIP and NAT (NHRs and Firewalls), packets were not forwarded correctly (ACK and SEQ fields in the packet were incorrect), resulting in a broken session. When creating or deleting a Client View entry, the device froze and

Item 23. Description crashed. When using a configuration with High Availability (two LinkProof devices) and a Virtual Tunnel was created, the Backup device froze while retrieving remote LinkProof information. Device froze after 248 days of operation. When using a configuration with both VIP and NAT, when for a specific session the accelerators were enabled, the PASV FTP sessions were broken due to miscalculations in the ACK and SEQ fields. When working with Virtual Tunneling with one NHR configured as the Regular server and another NHR as the Backup server, and using the hash dispatch method, traffic did not return to the Regular NHR after it entered the Backup. The 'rdwrClientsTableNumEntries' OID in the Radware MIB file was not available on the device. The MIB that was monitored was checking the number of active entries in the Client Table. When working with Virtual Tunneling, the tunnels continued using the Regular-Backup or Backup-Backup configurations and did not switch back to a Regular-Regular configuration even after the Regular NHR came back up. For version 4.37.10, when initiating a Port Scan, the scan showed port 21 as open, even though FTP services were disabled on the device. On a CAS platform, when working with VPN, ping packets erroneously passed through the interface which had been administratively brought down. When working with VRRP, traffic was sent to the device's virtual DNS IP according to the VRRP MAC address. When the device port which was blocked and reset (as configured in the Bandwidth Management policy), the reset contained the wrong MAC address (the MAC address of the incoming packet.) In version 4.37.11DL (Build 34), when copying the configuration using APSolute Insite 2.73.21, the VRRP trap summary was changed from "off" to "on". The CLI command "redundancy vrrp msg-per ip" is no longer in use and has been replaced by the command "redundancy vrrp trap-associated-id". On Application Switch 2 platforms, when issuing the "system config immediate" command, the device crashed. When working with Virtual Tunneling and a link was configured as a back link, the tunnel was configured to be Backup-Backup but LinkProof erroneously recognized it as Active-Active. This resulted in the Default Gateway destination grouping configuration to erroneously behave as if it

Item 36. Description were Active-Active. On an Application Switch 3, in FireProof version 3.37.10, the picture of the device displayed on the WBM interface was 2U although the device was actually a 1U Application Switch 3. When changing DNAT tuning from Device -> Tuning, the memory check did not correctly calculate the remaining memory after the tuning change. When setting the RADIUS timeout from Services-> RADIUS-> Timeout, the timeout value could not be set and the device crashed. LinkProof did not allow creating more than 11 NHRs when the Proximity Status was set to enabled. The limitation is now fixed, and proximity is only checked for the first 10 NHRs. The error "REAG_buf_alloc: unable to allocate buffer" was changed to appear only when Debug level 64 is set. When working in a redundant configuration with VLAN Tagging, the Backup device took over from the Main device stopped tagging packets. When setting the LPB Port 1 to "auto", it still remained set to "auto off". Bug ID

40. 41. 42.

On CAS platforms, Port 1 showed a status of Auto-Negotiation set to "Auto" even after it had been set to "Auto-Off" . 43. On an Application Switch 1 platform, when the LPB was in status IDLE, when a remote server attempted to start the IPSec, the LPB debug message "No ISAkMP_SA" was issued. On a CAS platform, every time the VPN went into IDLE status and the remote sites tried to re-establish the VPN tunnel with it, a new IPSec SA started (even with no timeout on the original IPSec SA). The result was the error "no ISAKMP-SA" on the CAS. 44. When loading the configuration file, the BER certification was incorrect. After uploading the configuration file from LinkProof and then trying to send it back, the error message "Error 07 in loading configuration" was generated. 45. When proximity was configured for 'Full Proximity - Both", it did not work properly and the Dynamic Proximity table remained empty. 46. When working with cluster servers and trying to delete a cluster, the message "deleted successfully" appeared, although the cluster server was not deleted. (For MIB change please refer to the Release Notes)

Item 1. 2. 3. Description After configuring and updating BWM policies (with the device in transparent mode), the device froze. Using Mirroring, when an entry was deleted on the primary device, the entry was not updated on the backup device. While upgrading from version 4.21.00 to 4.35.06, if there was a destination grouping in the configuration, the device crashed and rebooted. On Accelerated Platforms, when the accelerator was enabled the first packet from the local server was sent without NAT. After removing all the interfaces from a device and rebooting it, a fatal error occurs along with an error message. When a virtual IP was configured for the device interface, some health checks for virtual tunneling failed. Configuring some IP addresses in the routing table caused those entries to be deleted due to a problem with the way the device reads the IP address. When working with both virtual DNS IPs and virtual tunnels, some of the tunnel checks failed (CAS). While trying to change VRRP fields when VRID was active, the resulting message was not informative enough. Bug ID 30471 30693 30695

10. Some network ranges could not be accepted by Dynamic NAT local IP ranges. The error message "The parameter 'To Local IP' must be an ip address" was generated. 11. When DNS for a local client was enabled and checksum was disabled, if the device received a DNS packet with a checksum of 0, it changed the checksum instead of ignoring it. 12. While using SSH to manage the device, all management access (HTTPS, SSH, Telnet, HTTP, Serial) froze. However, the device continued to process packets. 13. In VPN Configuration when a VPN rule to a specific host was defined, the new rule did not work. The problem was related to the /32 mask defined on the host. (CAS Platform) 14. After configuring destination grouping and adding a destination Health Check, the Health Check failed. The device needed to be rebooted for the Health Check to succeed. (All Platforms) 15.

16. When the fragmentation table reached its limit, a notification message was issued only once. As a result of the fix, the message is now issued every 20 seconds if fragmentation reoccurs. (All Platforms) 17. In a VLAN configuration with NHR, the MAC address of the NHR was missing from the Client table. 18. When working with proprietary redundancy after the main device rebooted and took over the main position the device did not forward traffic as expected. 19. When viewing the Client Table in WBM, the CPU reached 100% capacity. 20. When fragmented traffic passed through the device and the fragmentation table was not large, the device Throughput was much less than expected (CAS) 21. When using the FTP passive command and either a NAT or VIP was changed, during retransmission the device handled the TCP sequence and ACK numbers incorrectly. 22. When NAT was enabled and traffic was set for a specific NHR, if the 'exclude static NAT' flag was disabled, the NAT translation was to an incorrect NHR. (All Platforms) 23. When NAT was enabled and the 'exclude static NAT flag' was disabled, traffic was sent to a specific NHR, but the NAT translation was set to a different NHR. (All Platforms) 24. When processing VPN traffic, when ICMP was forwarded to the device, the device crashed. (CAS) 25. While opening an SSH & SNMP session concurrently, the device console froze, but the device continued to process packets. (AS2) 26. Under the following conditions, the device crashed: - ARP table clean (after the device was booted or a manual cleanup) - ARP Aging time is very short Unknown ARP requests were put in the 'ARP waiting list'.

Item 1. 2. Description When AAAA query is received by LinkProof, the UDP length of its reply was miscalculated and set to indicate 3 bytes longer payload. When a TCP proximity check failed, the device sent the check through different NHRs but using wrong parameters, causing insertion of wrong latency value in the proximity table. It was not possible to block or limit access to the device Virtual DNS or Remote Virtual IP address. Please note that now BWM policies are applied to all device IPs as well (Virtual DNS, Remote VIP or interface IP) and use of Any to Any block policies can prevent access to device management as well. In configurations where RIP is enabled, routing between two class A subnets did not work properly. When BWM module used per-session classification mode, the policy statistics were incorrect In VRRP redundancy configuration, when the main device failed and than came back up it took over all VR IPs before the backup device had a chance to mirror its client table to the main. This caused some of the current active sessions to fail. Trace route command from the device, destined to a network for which a static route entry existed, would go out via the default gateway NHR when ping health checks were configured for this NHR, instead of the NHR configured in the static route. The WBM device zoom was missing for Application Switch 2 - Dual Power Supply. When Application Switch 3 worked with remove at session end parameter enabled, it would occasionally send FIN/RST packets to clients. Bug ID 19865 26175

During the software upgrade and using a TAR file of an incorrect platform the upgrade failed with no error message. A new test is now done in order to verify that the TAR file matches the hardware platform. c. Starting BOOT version 6.06 Application Switch 2 supports automatic boot PROM burning during the software upgrade process. Notes: In order to be able to perform automatic upgrades to AS2, BOOT 6.06 must be burnt manually. Upgrading from 6.06 to future versions will be done automatically. Automatic Software upgrade supported on hardware revisions 4.45, 4.50 and above. d. After stopping the INIT of the Application Switch 3 device and choosing to load the application from the compact flash, the device generated the following error message: "Invalid value 1 for the NewApplication". 30. Fixed in IDS 1.53.20: The summarized security log doesn't display the right info when multiple source IPs are used. In addition source IPs of heavy attacks are displayed inaccurately. 31. VRRP configurations with VLAN did not work properly due to the fact that when the main device failed and the VLAN was disabled (interface grouping) the physical ports of the VLAN were not physically disconnected. The switch to which physical ports of the VLAN interface were connected did not clear its MAC tables and continued to send traffic to the main device though it had become inactive. To fix this the Force Port Down feature was added. Please see the relevant section in the user guide for details and limitations.

Description In certain circumstances when LinkProof Branch used VPN that required packet fragmentation assembly In certain circumstances when LinkProof in VRRP configuration is switching master appliance New look support. Version 4.35.06 provides support for Radware appliances new look design. This version is backward compatible with old look as well. The following changes were done in this version: a. The Synapps phrase was replaced with the phrase "BWM, IPS", in all the management applications (CWI, Web, CLI). b. In the CLI the term "License code" was changed to "License Key" c. New licensing text is introduced. Instead of the word Synapps, the words BWM, IPS will appear. For example if you had an LP license that looked like lp-synapps, it will be replaced by lp-bwm-ips. d. In CWI and the Web, new look gifs will be seen if the appliance is of new look design. Generic libraries fixes: Fixed in Generic 10.02-00.14: a. If a Path length + attack database file name length was above 106 characters the TFTP upload via Insite did not work and the following error message appeared - "File too long". b. When a request to download a configuration file that didn't exist to the device was preformed, the device sent a read request to the server. When it got the response "file doesn't exist", it sent a write request with the same name, causing the file to be created. c. In case a field in a MIB contained strings with %X (%s, %d, etc) the device would crash when the CLI command "system config immediate" was executed. d. A capture of an SSL session could not be analyzed when a DiffieHellman key exchange scheme was in use - due to it involving random seed numbers. Current version supports only the RSA scheme. e. New Basic filters are now available for the P2P group: Baidux, Poco and PPlive f. In some case, enabling Bandwidth Management Statistics Collection caused the device to generate a generic error message. g. When multiple health checks with ARP methods was configured

When a fragmented IPSec packet would arrive to the Integrated VPN gateway on the LinkProof Branch, an ICMP error was sent to the source VPN gateway to stop sending fragmented packets and reduce MTU. Some gateways recognize this message and act accordingly and some do not. In this version the fragmented message is reassembled and decrypted in order to find the IP address of the originating client, and an ICMP error message asking it to lower its MTU is sent to this client. Of course the message is encrypted and sent via the source VPN gateway. Reassembled and decrypted message is forwarded to the destination, in case its size is less than current MTU on the forwarding port.

In rare conditions, Application Switch 2 and Application Switch 3 Strata Flash (Internal Flash), would loose its content upon frequent reboots. 18. Application Switch 2 and Application Switch 3 device would suddenly crash with the following error: "Warning: Non-formatted Strata Flash media. Please, prepare Strata Flash for File System ('z') and execute DOS format ('y')" 19. On Application Switch 3 with 9 Giga Ports (Fireproof on Voyager only) when one port which was part of Static Forwarding ports was down, the device did not fail to second port. 20. On Application Switch 3 the 10G port did not work properly. 21. When bandwidth management per traffic flow was used, the device occasionally crashed. 22. Fixed in Generic 10.00-00.13a: When Protocol Discovery was enabled and the device did not have enough memory, the device crashed with a fatal error: Fatal Error: No Memory available to create statistics table. 23. Fixed in Generic 10.00-00.13a: When Bandwidth Management was configured to block or limit eDonkey traffic the CPU was overloaded. 24.

Item Description 28. Proximity checks do not reach the minimum packet size of 60 bytes. In the past this caused the packet to be padded by garbage. Now every TCP and ICMP check packet that is smaller than 60 bytes is padded with zeroes. To the UDP proximity checks packets the linkproof.proximity.advance packet is added. 29. In certain cases the MAC table was update according to dynamic ARP packets, even though there was a static entry in the ARP table. 30. BootP messages were not forwarded by the device when it was configured as BootP relay. 31. The application port number that could be configured for aging per application functionality was limited to 49151 instead of 65534 (fixed in CLI and Web). 32. Using CLI, strange numbers were displayed in the output of net l2information command when it was used after the command system infstats reset. 33. It was possible to set a Gig port to 100Mb via CLI. 34. The caption of the Port Mirroring parameter Receive Broadcast was changed to Promiscuous Mode. 35. In certain conditions, when using passive FTP in environment with many retransmissions, new traffic sessions would stop being forwarded, due to lack of available Dynamic NAT ports. 36. When using Virtual Tunneling between two sites in certain configurations, the tunnel health was not detected correctly (one site detected tunnel as active while the other side detected it as failed) causing the traffic for this tunnel to fail permanently. 37. If an ARP packet was received from subnet not defined on the device, the device did not answer. Now it will answer, if routing entry to that subnet is defined. 38. Dual power supply is supported on Application Switch 2 and 3. 39. During software upgrade between minor versions password was required. This is fixed for updates from this version on. 40. New information has been added to the system device-info command output: network driver version, health monitoring module version, active and secondary boot version. 41. When upgrading a device with a file-system, and there is not enough free space on the flash, the device generated an error message. During

Item 6. 7. 8. 9. Description Configuration that included Switch IP VLAN could not be uploaded to the device. On Application Switch 3 a single network processor was activated causing performance degradation. Device working in VRRP redundancy mode with priority 255 was not sending ARP requests. On Web Based Management there was a spelling mistake in the name of the DNS Virtual IP menu (under LinkProof/DNS Configuration). Bug ID 1346 1327 1158 1318 N/A

10. If a DNS request for a record type not supported by the device was received (such as MX record), device was not answering. Now device will answer that the record type is not supported. The device will answer with Authoritative Answer 0, which specifies that the responding name server is not an authority for the domain name in question. Return code is set to 0 No error meaning that the request was completed successfully. 11. The device will answer only if the specified URL is configured on the device. If the URL is not configured then the device will continue not to answer. 12. In redundancy configurations where VLAN was used, after redundancy is enforced twice, messages sent by the device to email server or syslog server did not reach their destination (the server MAC was learnt on the wrong physical port). 13. The maximum number of SNMP communities supported by the device was increased from 16 to 256. 14. Fixed in network driver: When Interface Grouping was enabled and a port, with the negotiation mode set to off, became unavailable, the device switched off all other interfaces, but the LEDs remained illuminated. 15. Fixed in network driver: When Interface Grouping was enabled and the Interface Admin Status of a port, with negotiation mode set to off, was changed to "Down" the LED remained illuminated. 16. Fixed in network driver: Application Switch 2 with 7 Giga ports did not detect changes in link status on ports 5-7. As a result it did not detect that the links are up and did not forward traffic to those ports. 17. Fixed in BSP: Sometimes, the device did not write correctly to the Strata Flash (Internal Flash). 18. In Virtual Tunneling configurations when one tunnel was down, all the

19. When the device crashes due to a Fatal Error, the error is now logged into the NVRAM, rather then the Flash memory. After the device is reloaded, the application copies the log to the Flash. 20. The Network Processors on Application Switch 3 could occasionally crash and stop responding. 21. Application Switch 3 with port rules configuration occasionally stopped forwarding traffic. 22. If the value of the SYN Flood Protection parameter was changed, when trying to retrieve configuration file from the device using WBM, the following error message was displayed: Error 10 in loading configuration - variable number 01 of SNMP packet 001, variable name unknown. 23. On Application Switch 3 device when Static NAT was performed for local traffic the following message appeared: WARNING: reaPrepareFlowEntry - Unexpected Configuration (2)!! 24. When Application Switch 3 device had a very large numbers of entries in ARP table, the device would stop forwarding traffic. 25. Fixed in BSP: In some cases, during software upgrades (or downgrades) on Application Switch 2 and 3, the boot upgrade failed. 26. Fixed in BSP: In previous versions of BSP, configuration changes were saved to the Compact Flash every second (on Application Switch 2 and 3). Now BSP saves the changes to the Compact Flash immediately. 27. Health Monitoring module fixes: Fixed in Generic 10.00-00.10: a. Username and Password fields size were limited to 20 characters for HTTP and SSL checks. This Health Monitoring Module version enlarges the size of each field to 80 characters. Please note that the total size of all fields cannot exceed 80 characters. b. The Health Monitoring Module used to send a trap with an "info" severity when a health check failed. Starting with this version the "warning" severity is used when a check fails and "info" severity is used when a check passes. c.

Item 1. Description This version allows application software to support multiple boot versions. The config.ini file defines the lowest boot version supported (BootRomVersion) and the highest boot version supported (BootRomVersionInPackage). If the current boot version on the device is within these parameters, no boot upgrade is required. In VLAN configurations, when BWM was enabled, device would occasionally crash in task L2. When using proprietary redundancy mechanism with Backup Fake ARP functionality enabled, the following problem was observed. When main device came up the advertisements sent by the backup device on behalf of the main device did not include the Virtual DNS address. Instead of the Virtual DNS address, an address equal to the highest Static NAT address plus one was advertised. In some cases when backup interface grouping was enabled, the backup device was reporting some of the interfaces as active. If broadcast was heard from the main device the backup device replied directly to the main that the interface belonged to. This confused some L3 switches and the redundancy was broken. In some cases, usually in VLAN configuration, destination grouping entries could not be added. The following error message was observed: "DSGRP_add_dest_subnet: NULL default destination subnet". The flag Use grouping decision inside proximity was checked even when proximity was disabled. This caused DNS reply to always use the NHR from which the request arrived. In VRRP configurations when the active device changed traps where sent to all management interfaces for each associated IP. In cases where there were large numbers of associated IPs the large number of traps sent every time the active device changed was problematic. A flag is now available via the CLI interface that allows disabling these messages. In case the flag redundancy vrrp ms-per-ip is disabled the only trap received will be to announce the new active VRID. The flag is enabled by default. If Use Port Rules in Advertisement is enabled for RIP or OSPF routing, device would occasionally crash. The message of the SNMP traps for NTP and VRRP errors were incorrect and did not match Syslog messages.

If large numbers of Static NAT or Basic NAT public addresses is N/A configured (thousands), after a reboot or during redundancy failover process the device must advertise this large number of IP addresses and this can cause problems in device functionality. In such cases it is recommended that no configuration changes are performed for the first 5 minutes after reboot, and in case of redundancy the VRRP method is used. Insite does not support License Upgrade for LinkProof Branch (It can be performed via the WBM and CLI interfaces). On Application Switch 3 ports can only be attached to pre-defined switched VLAN and not to user-defined switched VLANs. On Application Switch 1 platforms that have 8Mb flash, if 4.35.01 and an additional version are loaded on the device, the device boots up slowly because of the small amount of free memory available on the strataflash.

Item

Description The boot up time can be improved by deleting the second (inactive) software version to free memory space. On Application Switch 3, queuing, prioritization and bandwidth guarantee capabilities are not supported for accelerated traffic (traffic that is processed by accelerators only). Access control, bandwidth limitations per policies and per traffic flow are supported by ASIII for all types of traffic (accelerated or not). The bandwidth limitation capabilities allow AS3 to provide attack isolation functionality. Application Switch 3 cannot work in 802.1q environment and does not support switched VLAN on Fast Ethernet ports. Health checks created automatically (by the Virtual Tunneling or Destination Health Monitoring functions) should not be manually bound to any element. They are automatically bound to the relevant elements. This can cause problems after reboot.
