RELEASE HIGHLIGHTS
######################################################################
Fixes and Enhancements in version 2.10
----------------------------------------
* IPv6 — CMC now supports the IPv6 protocol.
The IPv6 Ready Logo Committee's mission is to define the test
specifications for IPv6 conformance and interoperability testing,
provide access to self-test tools, and to deliver the IPv6 Ready Logo. The CMC
is Phase-2 IPv6 Ready Logo certified, and the Logo ID for the CMC is
02-C-000378 (Dell PowerEdge M1000e). For information on the IPv6 Ready Logo
Program, see www.ipv6ready.org.
* VLAN tagging — The CMC and the iDRACs now support the ability to
assign their network traffic to a virtual LAN (VLAN).
* Single sign-on for active directory accounts — Single sign-on allows
authenticated users using Microsoft® Active Directory® on their local systems
to automatically apply those credentials to the CMC Web user interface.
* Two-Factor Authentication using Smart Card — Provides added security
—a smart card plus a PIN to authenticate a user instead of only a password.
* Public Key Authentication (PKA) over SSH — Improves SSH scripting
automation by removing the need to embed or prompt for
user ID/password.
* Power management enhancements — Flexible redundancy modes: 1+1,
2+1, and 3+1 power supply redundancy. Additional fault-tolerant AC
redundant modes: 1+1, 2+2, and 3+3.
* Additional error reporting options — The iDRAC system events log (SEL) is displayed
on the Blade Status page eliminating the need to log into the iDRAC to
view the system events. Also, CMC events are now also posted to a remote syslog server.
* Remote Virtual Media File Share option — to map a file from a share drive
on the network to one or more blades through the CMC to deploy or
update an operating system.
* Ability to read and clear SEL entries for servers from the CMC command-line interface.

the "Allow active content to run in files on My Computer" option is
NOT checked.
* In Internet Explorer version 6, if the security setting is set to
'Restricted', the CMC User Interface on the Alert Management pages for
Email Alerts and SNMP Traps pops up a Security Information message
