Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: * * All ITNM 3.9 and 4.1 users. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: * * Some translations of IPv6 addresses to number form failed on * * little endian systems because ntohl() was used with 64-bit * * values (it only supports 32-bit). * * User running on, say, linux on intel x86 (little endian) * * encoutered the issue while big endian systems (e.g Solaris * * on SPARC, or AIX on PowerPC) wouldn't hit the issue. * * The end result was that the IPNUMBER and NETNUMBER values in * * NCIM's ipEndPoint table could be wrong. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * * Upgrade to | fix pack | 3.9.0-ITNMIP-FP0004 * ****************************************************************
Problem conclusion
New method added, to calculate the NETNUMBER and IPNUMBER are for IPv6 addresses.
