22 ExtremeWare 7.3.1b3 Release Notes
Overview
Unified Access Feature Support
ExtremeWare 7.3 supports the following unified access features:
• Wireless network login
• Inter-Access Point Protocol (IAPP), which provides seamless roaming support for data and voice
clients
• Spectralink Voice Protocol (SVP) support for voice over WLAN Spectralink handsets
• Wireless monitoring (AP Scan, Client Scan, Client Statistics)
• Comprehensive wireless security support with WPA/AES
• MAC-RADIUS support for wireless data clients
• Extensive debugging support (MAC, RADIUS, dot1x, WPA, IAPP, AP-Management, and so on)
To use the UAA and PoE features, you must be running the v731b3.xtr or v731b3.Sxtr image.
New .Bxtr Software Image
ExtremeWare 7.3 offers two software images: .xtr and .Bxtr. The .Bxtr software image is available on all
Summit platforms. It does not support the following features:
• UAA (available on Alpine switches only)
• PoE (available on Alpine switches only)
• SSL (HTTPS)
Although the BlackDiamond 6804 and BlackDiamond 6808 switches use the .xtr software image, the
BlackDiamond switches do not support UAA and PoE.
To use SMA and SONET the advanced image (.xtr or Sxtr) must be used (PD3-10674849 and
PD3-10693717).
