CUSTOMER RELEASE NOTES Increased Stacking Performance – C5 switches support a 25% increase in performance over the C3. Note that this improved performance requires that new stacking cables be used when stacking C5 swtiches. No Backwards Stacking – The C5 switches do not stack with the previous generation C-Series products (Enterasys C2 or C3). Single License for Advanced IPv4 and IPv6 Routing – Separate licenses for advanced multicast IPv4 routing and IPv6 routing no longer exist.
CUSTOMER RELEASE NOTES Product Features STP Loop Protect L2 Policy Rules LLDP/LLDP-MED with TLVs COS based Inbound Rate Limiter per Policy User Legacy Path Cost DHCP Server STP Pass Through Web Authentication (PWA) SpanGuard Web Redirect – PWA+ and URL redirection Link Flap Detection 802.1X Authentication Per Port Broadcast Suppression Non-Strict 802.
CUSTOMER RELEASE NOTES Soft copies of the C5 CLI Reference are available at no cost on the Enterasys Networks web site, http://secure.enterasys.com/support/manuals/ The C5 Series of stackable switches is managed by a single IP address for a stack of up to 8 switches. In order to download the new software to a stack of C5 switches, simply follow the instructions to upgrade a switch with new software.

CUSTOMER RELEASE NOTES FIRMWARE CHANGES AND ENHANCEMENTS: Initial firmware release for C5 switching products. KNOWN RESTRICTIONS AND LIMITATIONS: Warning: MGBIC-LC04 and MGBIC-LC05 are only supported in standalone units. If you install them on stack member units, loss of link may result. 1 Gigabit SFPs are only supported in SFP+ ports on standalone units. If you install them in stack member units, loss of link may result. Known Issues in 6.41.03.
CUSTOMER RELEASE NOTES Known Issues in 6.41.03.0018 Policy / Authentication 13770 When running multiple authentication mechanisms dot1x and macauth, dot1x should have higher precedence. If the order is reversed, dot1x authenticated traffic is diverted to the host until macauth is performed. 13998 When setting the multiauth mode from multi to strict, some previously authenticated users may be unable to re-authenticate. The work around is to disable PWA and MAC Authentication prior to switching modes.
CUSTOMER RELEASE NOTES Warning: Traffic mirrored to a VLAN may contain control traffic. This may be interpreted by the downstream neighbor as legal control frames. Users should disable any protocols on inter-switch connections that might be affected (for example, Spanning Tree). Routing You cannot overwrite the IP address of a configured interface if the new IP address is in the same subnet as the original. You must first delete the existing interface IP address and then add the new IP address.
CUSTOMER RELEASE NOTES Management The switch can support up to two concurrent SSH client sessions. 9328 If the host IP address or the router IP interface used for management is in a zero subnet (for example, 10.0.x.x/16), ARPs will resolve, and the host will be unable to ping devices within the subnet. 9367 ICMP packets containing the record route or timestamp options will not be forwarded by the device.
