  4. Compatibility With Other Released Models

This release is compatible with previous 6371.

Product Limitation:

1. An upstream ping generated by a user from the ASN with a source IP address of an e0 interface and with Basic NAT or NAPT enabled will fail if the ping size is greater than 1472 data bytes. The failure is due to packets 2 through n of a fragmented data packet stream not being translated. This would result in the e0 interface IP address being transmitted onto the global network.

2. The global network address for Basic NAT is limited to a Class C network address.

3. Basic NAT and NAPT do not translate or forward the following ICMP packets received from the global network:

• Destination Unreachable

• Source Quench

• Redirect

• Parameter Problem on a Datagram

These packets will be discarded by the ASN. However, there is no indication in the statistics that they were discarded.

4. Basic NAT and NAPT do not successfully translate packets with IP options. Packets received containing IP options will become corrupted by the ASN.

5. The FLASH database for this release has been modified. Information was added to the database that could be useful in debugging problems in the field. This modification will be made automatically without lose to configuration when this release is downloaded and executed. However, after this update has been made, downloading of a prior ASN release will reset the FLASH database to factory defaults.
