BayRS Version 13.03 and Site Manager Software Version 7.03 Release Notes CR 30952: DLSw The DLS slot memory statistics show incorrect memory usage figure for the DLS slot. This condition reflects incorrect statistics and inhibits the establishment of new connections because the erroneous statistic is used to determine whether DLS can acquire more memory from the system heap when establishing a connection.

This occurs when the Networks List of the policy is empty, indicating that the policy should match all routes in the routing table.

CR 101014: IPX Disabling split horizon may create a bogus host entry on other routers. CR 101713: BGP OSPF/RIP does not import eBGP routes into the routing table if wfBgpIntraAsIbgpRouting is enabled.

BayRS Version 13.03 and Site Manager Software Version 7.03 Release Notes CR 106129: ATM The router incorrectly determines specific 802.5 MAC addresses as broadcasts when processing LE_ARP responses. This causes the LEC to restart. CR 107143: ATM The router is not responding to LE_ARP destined for it's own MAC address on 802.5 elans. This condition affects performance because the router sends unnecessary traffic to other LECs and creates congestion on the bus. CR 107164: Frame relay Bus erro
