    Release 6.3.6

    Issue IDDescription
    CGSDW-27822Resolved an issue where global prefix advertisements were set to "None" when local BGP configurations were present. This occurred due to incorrect data handling during global configuration updates. The system now correctly preserves advertisement settings during BGP global updates.

    Hotfix Release 6.3.6-b9

    Issue IDDescription
    CGSDW-37487Resolved an issue where the system incorrectly removed a Supplicant (STA) from the switch FDB table during a RADIUS idle timeout. This occurred because hostapd failed to validate the MAC address due to an incorrect binary path in swinspect and a failure in the grep logic, which searched for a standard address instead of a compact MAC string.
    CGSDW-37382Resolved an issue where Serial Inline High Availability (HA) ION devices failed to respond to ARP requests after a switchover. A software synchronization error prevented the system from clearing the IP address on the bypass interface during an Active-to-Backup transition.

This occurred because stale operation entries remained in the database if a reset was attempted while a site was disabled, preventing the routing manager from processing subsequent requests.
    CGSDW-35936Resolved an issue where, in a data center cluster with two data center IONs (DC1 and DC2), both IONs advertised the same prefixes learned from a branch site, even after the original route from the primary branch was restored. This occurred when a secondary branch site advertised the same prefixes to a data center ION while the primary branch site was down, and the routes from the secondary branch were not withdrawn after the primary branch recovered.
    CGSDW-32071Resolved an issue where the firewall unexpectedly rebooted due to a supervisord process exception. The exception occurred during parsing.
    CGSDW-31637Resolved an issue where the MRLservice could become unresponsive background thread encountered an exception and terminated without being automatically restarted.
