Releases/Router/4.2.12
From ImageStream Router Documentation
ImageStream Linux Version 4.2.12-45 is now available as a general availability (GA) release for all ImageStream routers except the Envoy.
This software release is provided at no charge to all ImageStream customers. Version 4.2.12-45 is a maintenance release that is recommended for all customers who wish to run the latest GA release on routers other than the Envoy.
This release note documents commands and features added between version 4.2.11-59 and version 4.2.12-45.
The following bugs have been fixed in Version 4.2.12:
Quagga BGP Assertion Failure
Version 4.2.12 fixes an assertion failure crash with bgpd when processing 32-bit ASNs larger than 100,000.
ATM Autosensing PPP Fix
Version 4.2.12 fixes a problem with "encapsulation aal5autoppp" dropping PPP frames without LLC/SNAP headers. Release 18 fixes an Autosense PPP problem when switching from PPPoA without LLC/SNAP headers to PPPoE with LLC/SNAP headers on a PVC.
PCI 440 T1/E1/SSI Fixes
Version 4.2.12 fixes some firmware and driver problems related to the 440 T1/E1/SSI cards.
PCI 530 DS3/E3 Fixes
Version 4.2.12-30 fixes a transmit timed out race condition in the 530-DE driver.
New Features in Version 4.2.12
Add-on package support framework
Version 4.2.12 adds a basic framework for adding extra software packages to the router's primary flash drive or a secondary flash or hard drive. ImageStream currently has several add-on packages available for beta testing including Asterisk, Apache Web Server, Wireshark, Squid Web Cache, and Snort Intrusion Detection.
Detailed revision history:
revision 45
date: 2010/07/19 dhcprelay: Bind to the first client IP address and use this address as the "gateway" IP reported to the server
revision 44
date: 2010/06/15 Add daemon keepalives to quagga daemons.
revision 43
date: 2010/06/07 Backport certain kernel support functions to allow eth_header user chain to function under 4.2.
revision 42

revision 41
date: 2010/04/13 Add new policy-based QoS system backported from the 4.4 series.
revision 40
date: 2010/04/09 Quagga BGPd: Add BGP scan timer load check to avoid a condition where the workqueue is never able to be depleted due to lack of CPU time. This could occur when a BGP session was cleared or dropped at the same time as the BGP scan timer expired causing bgpd to run at 100% usage indefinitely if the router had multiple full BGP feeds.
revision 39
date: 2010/02/26 Configmgr: Fix a bug which caused RADIUS information to be ignored for Virtual Template interfaces other than the first. Bridging: Use 1024 bytes instead of 1900 for the command length as bash can fail at around 1890+. 530-TEJ: Fix an Rx overflow problem that could cause a port to stop receiving data in channelized mode when the T1/E1 loses signal and comes back.
revision 38
date: 2010/02/03
Fix problems with bridges not removing IP addresses properly.
Fix shutdown problems with bridges, Ethernet, VLANs and tunnels.
- If an interface was marked as shutdown when Inetics loaded the interface
could not be brought up without changing a parameter on the interface.

Also clean up include files to allow compilation under 4.2 530-DE: Fix a race condition bug which caused the driver to detect a transmit timeout when none had really occurred. This race was much more likely to occur when a substantial amount of traffic is transmitted from a userspace thread such as OpenVPN rather than forwarded from another card in interrupt context.
revision 29
date: 2009/08/31 Update Apache package from 4.4.0 to support PAM authentication.
revision 28

In order to run multiple pools on a single interface this parameter is required to properly configure the DHCP server. All dhcp pools which will run on the same interface must specify the same shared network name parameter.
ip dhcp pool <pool_ID> [ shared-network <name> ] Example: ip dhcp pool 0 shared-network OnEthernet1 http://wiki.imagestream.com/wiki/DHCP_Server#Multiple_DHCP_pools_on_a_single_interface
