When working with a cluster and using member addresses different from the cluster subnet, it is possible that routes disappear after a reboot. They are saved in netconf.C, but not loaded when starting. This is due to a buggy library. The behaviour is seen in NGX R60 and R65.

Solution:

Download the patched file here

go to $CPDIR/lib
mv libscis.so libscis.so.orig
copy patched libscis.so to $CPDIR/lib
chown root:bin libscis.so
chmod 750 libscis.so
reboot

FTP connections get dropped by SmartDefense with reason : Active command received while working in Passive mode

This check is triggered by the ftp bounce attack check. If you are running a pre-NGX module or don't have a SmartDefense license, you cannot disable the bounce attack. The solution is the following :
- Create a new tcp-service ftp-new.
- in the port field, enter port 21 (ftp)
- On the advanced tab, set the protocol to FTP_BASIC
- Clear the box 'match for any'

Use the ftp-new service instead of the ftp service in the problematic rules.

[Problem]
In the most recent versions of Nokia, when you add an extra user, he ends up in clish automatically when logging in through ssh. Typing 'exit' terminates the ssh session.

[Resolution]
When creating a new user, give him the same UID as the admin user, and adapt the shell so it matches the admin user.
