Hardware Support This version provides the following new hardware support. Support for x510 Series Switches The Allied Telesis x510 family of switches provide a high performing and scalable solution for today’s networks, providing an extensive range of port density and uplink-connectivity options. With a choice of 28-port and 52-port versions and optional 10 Gigabit uplinks, plus the ability to stack, the x510 family can connect anything from a small workgroup to a large business.
SwitchBlade x8112 key features ■ Dual CFCs are partnered with 10 line card slots ■ 80Gbps non-blocking throughput to each line card slot ■ Active-Active switching fabric utilizes all available system bandwidth, and fast failover is provided with the second control card in hot-standby. ■ Supports IEEE 802.
Support for XEM-12Tv2 and XEM-12Sv2 modules ■ XEM-12Tv2 provides 12x 10/100/1000T (RJ-45) ports for copper cabling ■ XEM-12Sv2 provides 12x 1000X SFP ports for fiber cabling XEM-12Tv2 and XEM-12Sv2 modules support Extended Mode, the SwitchBlade x908 feature that increases the performance of the SwitchBlade x908. Extended Mode takes advantage of larger table sizes and Link Aggregation Groups.
New Features and Enhancements The software version includes all the new features that have been added to AlliedWare Plus since the release of 5.4.2-0.1. This includes all features that were released in 5.4.2 minor releases. This section summarizes the key new features. For a list of all new and enhanced features and commands, see “Changes in this Version” on page 10. For more information about all features on the switch, see the Software Reference for your switch.
IPv6 Licensing As IPv6 functionality has become more of a necessity in modern networks, Allied Telesis has increased our support by including a number of IPv6 features as standard (additional advanced IPv6 features are available via a software license).
Important Considerations Before Upgrading to this Version Please note the following information that may affect you if you are upgrading to Software version 5.4.3 from an earlier version: ■ Software version 5.4.3 does not support x600 series switches. ■ Software version 5.4.3 does not support mixed-mode stacking between x610 series switches and x600 series switches, because all switches in the stack must run the same software version. Software version 5.4.

Installing this Software Version To use this software version, your switch must already be running AlliedWare Plus. Contact your distributor or reseller for more information. To install and enable this software version, use the following steps: 1. Copy the software version file (.rel) onto your TFTP server. 2. If necessary, delete or move files to create space in the switch’s Flash memory for the new file.
Installing the GUI This section describes how to install and set up the AlliedWare Plus GUI using an SD card, a USB storage device, or a TFTP server. The version number in the GUI Java applet filename (.jar) gives the earliest version of the software file (.rel) that the GUI can operate with.
6. Copy the GUI file onto your switch from the TFTP server, SD card, or USB storage device. TFTP server: Use the command: awplus# copy tftp:/// flash:/ SD card: use the command: awplus# copy card:/ flash:/ USB storage device: use the command: awplus# copy usb:/ flash:/ where is the IP address of the TFTP server, and where is the filename of the GUI Java applet. 7. Ensure the HTTP service is enabled on your switch.
