FYI

I pushed new fixes again to the Nortel modules moments ago. I don't 
believe it affects all Nortel's but only a strict model / firmware 
combination. The real problem is that the issue is silent meaning that 
the logs will say that it authorized the MAC, report no error but it 
will have failed.

If you have a problem with the Nortel's consider running from our daily 
snapshot repository or applying the patch at:
http://mtn.inverse.ca/revision/info/314e131c02b6fb3812d2b2dfc17231458723a7ea

The issue has been fixed but there was also added error-reporting.

Here's a description of the problem (as in the module's BUGS AND 
LIMITATION):

Hard to predict OIDs seen on some variants

We faced issues where some switches (ie ERS2500) insisted on having a 
board index of 1 when adding a MAC to the security table although for 
most other operations the board index was 0.  Our attempted fix is to 
always consider the board index to start with 1 on the operations 
touching secuirty status (isPortSecurity and authorizeMAC).  Be aware of 
that if you start to see MAC authorization failures and report the 
problem to us, we might have to do a per firmware or per device 
implementation instead.

Thank you for listening,
