This release provides the following additional DSL Router key features:
• Transparent bridging (with spanning tree protocol availability) of all protocols in the service domain. Simultaneous routing of IP traffic with bridging of all other protocol traffic.
• Ethernet type and ICMP message type filter support for bridged and/or routed service domain traffic.
• Simultaneous Basic NAT and NAPT support.
 

This release contains the following functional changes:

          New user interface commands supported (see user’s guide and online help command for details and command
          syntax):
          – bridge {disable | enable}
          – bridge aging-timeout [time]
          – bridge priority [priority]
          – spanning-tree {disable | enable}
          – show spanning-tree
          – show bridge
          – nat basic purge
          – nat napt purge
          – ip routing {disable | enable}
          – packet processing {disable | enable}
          NOTE: This command replaces ip processing {disable | enable}, but this command will continue to be supported
          for backward compatibility.
          Changes to existing user interface commands (see user’s guide and online help command for details and command
          syntax):
          – show statistiscs [eth1 | dsl1 | ip | bridge]
          NOTE: The display of the Ethernet statistics (show statistics eth1) now includes counts of events that don’t
          result in a frame discard, but are useful to know. These include the following events:
          • Single Collision on Tx
          • Multiple Collisions on Tx
          • Late Collision on Tx
          • No Carrier Detect on Tx
          • Pauses on Tx

          – nat basic {disable | enable}
          – nat napt {disable | enable}

5.  Known Issues
The following are known problems and limitations with this release:
1. NAT Doesn’t Support Out Of Order Fragments) Out of order fragment packets is not support by
the DSL Router R3 implementation of NAT. This means that it expects the first packet of a fragmented
stream to be received first prior to the receipt of any other packets of that stream.
2. Hotwire PC Download Program Not working with Windows 2000 (Windows 9x and Windoes NT 4.0 supported)
