Features for Supervisor Engine Software Release 5.3
This section describes the new features available in software release 5.3.
• UniDirectional Link Detection (UDLD) detects unidirectional connections on both copper and
fiber-optic links.
• RADIUS authentication provides client-server authentication for users attempting to connect to
the switch.
• Jumbo frame support for intra-VLAN traffic on Gigabit Ethernet links increases the MTU size
to 9216 bytes (note that jumbo frames cannot be routed or fragmented for transmission through
slower ports).
• Virtual Management Policy Server (VMPS) client support allows network administrators to
define the VLAN membership policies for their network in a central database so that the switch
automatically configures user ports to the correct VLAN.
• With the Single-Port OC-12 ATM Module (SMF or MMF):
— Reassembly of up to 255 buffers simultaneously (each buffer represents a packet)
— Support for up to 4096 virtual circuits
— Support for AAL 5
