Version 1.08

Problem(s) Fixed:

• Corrected a counter problem that could result in a server clock skew in certain IBM Director environments.
• Fixed a Maximum Segment Size negotiation problem on the network interface which could have prevented oversized data packets from being delivered.
• Corrected a problem which caused the Remote Supervisor Adapter to not renew its DHCP lease when the DHCP server is not on the same subnet mask/network as the Remote Supervisor Adapter.
• Fixed a problem which caused the Remote Supervisor Adapter not to reaquire a new IP address when the former address is lost.
• Corrected a problem that caused the Remote Supervisor Adapter to report the final hours of April 30th in certain time zones as April 31st.

Enhancement:

• Allow dashes in the LDAP ASM Group Filter Name
• Increased the time to live to 128 on all packets from the Remote Supervisor Adapter to accommodate an increased number of network hops.

Limitations:
Dependencies:

Version 1.07

• Corrected problem with DNS Enable/Disable causing confusion due to case sensitivity/inconsistency
• Corrected the problem with Event Action Plan not occurring
