Release 100.1.0.9.57

2

This section lists the bug fixes, resolved issues, and any known caveats or limitations
in this release (P300 Release 100.1.0.9.57) which have not been previously identified
in prior releases.
Please refer to previous Release Notes documents for previously documented bugs
and resolved issues.

Resolved Issues
• This release adds support for passing STP (Spanning Tree Protocol) and LACP
(Link Aggregation Control Protocol) packets over P300 bridge links. [FR-2127]
• Resolved an issue that could cause P300 Non-Root Bridge to be unable to
establish a link to the Root Bridge if it is able to reach a local gateway through
its Ethernet port. [FR-2225]
• Resolved an issue where the remote P300 fails to establish a second link if it is
able to reach a local gateway through its Ethernet port when attempting to
connect a second P300 pair linking two locations. [FR-2011]
• Added a warning message informing the user that the SpeedFlex tool built into
the P300 UI is unable to accurately measure the maximum throughput speed
due to CPU limitations, and therefore users should use SpeedFlex to verify
connectivity only, or to use an external platform to run speed testing. [FR-2706]
• Resolved an issue that could result in poor throughput performance based on
SpeedFlex testing when Management VLAN and Rate Limiting were enabled.
[ER-4978]
• Upgraded OpenSSL and dropbear versions to apply the latest fixes to address
security vulnerabilities. [FR-2220, AP-5591]

New CLI Commands

New CLI Commands
The following new commands are available to support the new/changed features
above. Both (gateway detection and loop detection) should be disabled for STP and
LACP scenarios.
NOTE: Once LACP is enabled on the switch, you will be unable to manage the AP
through the web interface or SSH. Therefore, if using LACP, be sure to complete all
AP configuration steps prior to enabling LACP on the switch as the final step.

Disable Gateway Detection
Disabling Mesh gateway detection can be useful in situations where the customer
wants to deploy P300s with the gateway located on the NRB side. In the original
mesh implementation, if a MAP detects the gateway through its Ethernet port, it will
disconnect its uplink connection. Use this command to disable the mesh gateway
detection mechanism on the NRB side to support this scenario.

Example
Usage: set meshcfg {ssid|passphrase} ""
use meshcfg for mesh config recovery
{loop_detect} 
{gw_detect} 
use meshcfg to manual configure mesh related parameters
{ssid|passphrase} can be used as mesh link
configuration recovery
for manual mesh provisioning, use 'set meshprov'
rkscli: set meshcfg gw_detect enable
OK

rkscli: get meshcfg
Gateway Detection Timeout: 30
No ethernet neighbor communication Status: Disabled
Loop Detection Status: Disabled
Gateway Detection Status: Enabled
OK

New CLI Commands

Disable Loop Detection
Disabling loop detection features can be useful in situations where the customer
wants to install an additional pair of P300 bridges for redundancy. The original
Ruckus mesh loop detection mechanism will prevent Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)
from working properly. Although redundancy can still be achieved, some customers
prefer to rely on STP to make the decisions. To support this scenario, a new AP CLI
command allows customers to disable all P300 loop detection mechanisms in both
the RB and NRB.
Use the following command to disable the following features for loop detection:
• Disable mesh eBeacon
• Disable loop guard in bridge
• Disable STP filter in mesh WLAN interface

Example
rkscli: set meshcfg loop_detect disable
OK
rkscli: get meshcfg
Gateway Detection Timeout: 30
No ethernet neighbor communication Status: Disabled
Loop Detection Status: Disabled
Gateway Detection Status: Enabled
OK
