Features in SB251-10

Patch SB251-10 includes all issues resolved and enhancements released in 
previous patches for Software Release 2.5.1, and the following enhancements:

Broadcast Storm rate limiting was not limiting broadcast packets when 
these were set per-VLAN. This issue has been resolved.

Enabling STP debug on a SwitchBlade led to invalid port numbers being 
displayed in the debug output. This issue has been resolved so that ports are 
correctly displayed in the 

board.portnumber

 format.

Sometimes while in Rapid STP mode, a port changing its role from 
Alternate to Designated or Root did not make a rapid transition to the 
Forwarding state. This issue has been resolved.

The DISABLE SWITCH PORT and ENABLE SWITCH PORT commands 
were not interacting correctly with trunk groups. This issue has been 
resolved so that if a port in a trunk group is disabled with the DISABLE 
SWITCH PORT command, the port will now be removed from its trunk 
group in the hardware tables. Also, enabling a disabled trunk group port 
now returns the port to its trunk group in the hardware tables.

Rapid STP was not interacting correctly with trunk groups. This issue has 
been resolved.

Level 1

This issue will cause significant interruption to network services, and 
there is no work-around.

Level 2

This issue will cause interruption to network service, however there 
is a work-around.

Level 3

This issue will seldom appear, and will cause minor inconvenience.

Level 4

This issue represents a cosmetic change and does not affect network 
operation.
