AlliedWare Plus Version 5.4.4-3.5 For SwitchBlade x8100 Series, SwitchBlade x908, x900 Series, x610 Series, x510 Series, IX5-28GPX, x310 Series, x230 Series and x210 Series Switches Contents Introduction .............................................................................................................................................. 2 New Features and Enhancements ....................................................................................................
Introduction This section of this release note describes the new features and enhancements in AlliedWare Plus software version 5.4.4-3.5 since version 5.4.4-2.3. For more information, see the Software Reference for your switch. Software file details for this version are listed in Table 1 below. Caution: Software version 5.4.4-3.5 requires a release license for the SBx908 and SBx8100 switches. If you are using either of these switches, ensure that your switch has a 5.4.
Caution: Using a software version file for the wrong switch model may cause unpredictable results, including disruption to the network. Information in this release note is subject to change without notice and does not represent a commitment on the part of Allied Telesis, Inc. While every effort has been made to ensure that the information contained within this document and the features and changes described are accurate, Allied Telesis, Inc.
New Features and Enhancements Software version 5.4.4-3.5 includes all the new features that have been added to AlliedWare Plus since the release of 5.4.4-1.1. This section summarizes the new features in 5.4.4-3.5. For more information about all features on the switch, see the Software Reference for your switch. Unless otherwise stated, all new features and enhancements are available on all switch models running this version of AlliedWare Plus.
Logging of attempts to set release files When a user attempts to set a primary or backup release file (using the boot system command), the switch now sends a failure or success message to the logging system. The error message has a log severity level of “warning” and the success message has a severity level of “notice”. Delay between password attempts On a switch whose bootloader is set to security level 3, a 4 second gap is now required between attempts to re-enter a password.
Web Authentication Unmatched Proxy Setting Detection By default, AlliedWare Plus Web Authentication intercepts the supplicant’s initial TCP port 80 connection to a web page and sends it the Web Authentication login page. You can also specify any additional TCP port numbers that the web authentication server is to intercept by using the auth-web-server intercept-port command. In this way, Web Authentication can intercept packets going to a proxy server by adding the port number of the proxy server.

Key New Features and Enhancements Software version 5.4.4-2.3 includes all the new features that have been added to AlliedWare Plus since the release of 5.4.4-1.1. This section summarizes the key new features. For more information about all features on the switch, see the Software Reference for your switch. Unless otherwise stated, all new features and enhancements are available on all switch models running this version of AlliedWare Plus.
■ Previously, you could set the HTTPS port number for the web authentication server. Now, you no longer need to set the port number and the default port number 443 is used. As a result, the auth-web-server sslport command has been deleted. ■ The default behavior of web-authentication packet forwarding has changed. Previously, packet forwarding for port authentication was disabled by default. Now, ARP, DHCP, DNS forwarding for port authentication are enabled by default.
Stack-Local-VLANs Enhancements Network data VLANs are shared by the stack and use the stack's virtual MAC address. Consequently only the stack master is able to respond to messages such as ARP or ICMP requests. One disadvantage of this is that although network administrators can ping the whole stack to determine its operational status, such pinging will not provide status information for individual stack members. Stack-local-VLANs provide a solution to this problem.
Table 1-1: Configuring Stack-Local-VLANs on a Two Member Stack Description (cont.) Enter interface configuration mode for port 2.0.24. Prompt (cont.) Command (cont.) awplus(config)# interface port2.0.24 Set the port to access mode. awplus(config-if)# switchport mode access Add this port to member 2’s local VLAN. awplus(config-if)# switchport access vlan 4002 Step 4. Apply the IP address 192.168.1.1/24 to VLAN 4001 Enter global configuration mode.

Operating Requirements ISSU is supported on the SwitchBlade x8100 Series chassis (or VCStack Plus). ISSU support is subject to the following conditions: ■ Your Controller Fabric cards must be CFC960.</p></li><li><h6><a class="text-decoration-none text-link fw-bold" href=/manual/amf/110/specifications-english/page-91.html>PAGE 91</a></h6><p>ISSU Introduction ISSU Operation During the ISSU process, each CFC within either the chassis, or VCS Plus stack, is sequentially rebooted. For this process, ISSU sets the boot system configuration to boot using the release being upgraded to. When the stack is then rebooted, the CFCs start with the newly applied release. Initially, ISSU gathers information about each of the CFC nodes within the stack. It uses this information to record which CFCs have been upgraded and which are yet to be upgraded.</p></li><li><h6><a class="text-decoration-none text-link fw-bold" href=/manual/amf/110/specifications-english/page-92.html>PAGE 92</a></h6><p>ISSU Introduction For ISSU to progress, the above conditions must be met and there must be no pre-existing ISSU operation in progress. If ISSU is unable to progress, a warning message will be printed to the console. Similarly, when using VCStack Plus, if one of the chassis has only a single CFC, the console will first display a warning message followed by a confirmation message. The diagram of Figure 1 on page 86 illustrates ISSU’s automatic phase.</p></li><li><h6><a class="text-decoration-none text-link fw-bold" href=/manual/amf/110/specifications-english/page-93.html>PAGE 93</a></h6><p>ISSU Introduction Manual Phase This phase comprises rebooting each of the line cards.

One possibility is to upgrade the CFCs during a time when technical staff are available and use the automatic phase of ISSU to eliminate, or at least reduce, system downtime. Then use triggers to apply the line card upgrades for a period when the network has either a low usage, or a scheduled maintenance period.</p></li><li><h6><a class="text-decoration-none text-link fw-bold" href=/manual/amf/110/specifications-english/page-97.html>PAGE 97</a></h6><p>ISSU Introduction Step 2: Write scripts and create the triggers Example One From the show output, the AT-SBx81GP24 line cards in card slots 1.1 and 2.1 need to be rebooted.
