AlliedWare Plus Version 2.2.4.0 Software Release Notes
PN 613-001748 Rev A 3 Allied Telesis, Inc.

PoE+: The 8100 only supports 802.1at compliant Powered Devices that support LLDP
negotiation (2-event is not supported).
 LACP: The 8100 supports a maximum of 8 LACP Groups.
 Web GUI: The web browser interface has been tested and found to be compatible with the
following web browsers:
— Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 and 8
— Mozilla Firefox 3.6.3
— Apple Safari 4.0.5
Note
If you are using the Explorer 8 web browser and the pull-down menus in the switch’s web
browser interface do not work, open the Internet Options window in the web browser,
select the Security tab, and set the custom settings to medium-high. Then refresh your
page.
 IGMP Snooping is disabled by default. When enabled, all unknown multicast traffic will be
flooded prior to a join. To disable the flooding of unknown multicast traffic, issue the following
command:
awplus(config)# no ip igmp snooping flood-unknown-mcast
Once this command is issued, all multicast traffic except reserved addresses 224.0.0.1
through 224.0.0.255 will be dropped until there is a specific IGMP join requesting access to
the suppressed IPv4 multicast group destination. Note that all non-IPv4 multicast traffic, such
as IPv6 Neighbor Discovery, will also be suppressed. Once an IGMP join is received on a
given port, snooping will only copy the multicast data to the joined ports and any router or
query port configured or detected. If there is no join, the multicast data will not be sent to the
router or query ports.
For multicast networks where there are sources at the network edge and no device is
generating joins or reports, for example, multicast security cameras, the best solution is to
leave IGMP snooping disabled (which is the default setting) and limit flooding on the edge
ports. For example, you can use the following commands for a 48-port switch:
awplus(config)# interface port1.0.1-port1.0.48
awplus(config)# switchport block egress-multicast
This will allow all multicast data packets to flood to the uplink ports only.
 IGMP Snooping and VLANs: IGMP Snooping is not supported on MAC-based and 802.1x
Dynamic VLANs.
 VLANs: If more than 255 VLANs are configured on the switch, they are not displayed in the
web GUI or SNMP. However, you can view, edit, and delete more than 255 VLANs via the
CLI.
