New and Enhanced Features in AlliedWare Plus 5.4.4 Major and Minor Versions 5
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. This applies for console, Telnet and SSH logins,
and for both local and RADIUS users.
Configurable number of login attempts by SSH
You can now specify the maximum number of SSH authentication attempts that the
switch will allow. The default is 6 attempts. To change this, use the new command:
awplus(config)#ssh server max-auth-tries <1-32>
VRRPv3 Secondary IPv6 Address
VRRPv3 now allows users to specify a secondary IPv6 address on an IPv6 VRRP instance.
This enables you to specify a globally-routable address as the default gateway address for
all the hosts on a VLAN.
To do this, use the new secondary parameter in the following command:
Syntax virtual-ipv6 <ipv6-address> [master|backup] [primary|
secondary]
no virtual-ipv6
Mode Router Configuration
Parameter Description
<ipv6-address> The IPv6 address of the virtual router, entered in hexadecimal, in
the format X:X::X.X. This is an IPv6 link-local address.
master Sets the default state of the VRRPv3 router within the Virtual
Router as master. For master, the router must own the Virtual IP
address.
backup Sets the default state of the VRRPv3 router within the Virtual
Router as backup.
primary Sets the specified address as the primary IPv6 address. The
primary address must be a link-local IPv6 address.
secondary Sets the specified address as the secondary IPv6 address.
Normally this would be a globally-routable IPv6 address.
