Known Issues About the SunATM 5.1 Release

This section contains important information and news about the SunATM 5.1 software release.

Redundant LANE Servers

SunATM adapter software does not support redundant LAN Emulation Services, such as Cisco System's Simple Server Redundancy Protocol (SSRP) for LAN Emulation.

Classical IP and IPv6

SunATm 5.1 now supports the next generation of Internet Protocol, IPv6. However, when running IPv6 over Classical IP, SunATM 5.1 only supports locally configured addresses. If you are running Classical IP over IPv4 and IPv6 simultaneously on an interface, you cannot configure an ARP server or client. All destinations must be statically configured through either the atmadmin utility or by manual entries in the aarconfig file.

SunATM and Solstice FireWall-1

The Solstice FireWall-1(TM) product does not currently support the SunATM 5.0 release. Refer to the bug report (BugID 4073989) for more information.

hyperSPARC Modules Are Not Supported

The SunATM 5.1 software does not support older sun4m systems containing hyperSPARC^TM modules. If you have a SPARCstation 10, 10SX, or 20 system with hyperSPARC modules, you will not be able to use this SunATM release.

To see if your machine contains hyperSPARC modules, type the following command:

# prtconf | grep Ross,RT625

You will see Ross,RT625 (driver not attached) as the result of this command if your system contains a hyperSPARC module.
