ExtremeWare v6.2.1 Release Notes Page 5
• SCP/SSH2 client: The new feature enables an Extreme Networks switch to function as an SSH2
client. This means you can connect from the switch to a remote device running an SSH2 server, and
send commands to that device. You can also use SCP to transfer files to and from the remote device.
See Chapter 3, “Managing the Switch” in the ExtremeWare Software Command Reference Guide for a
detailed description of the commands related to this feature.
• MAC Address Lock-down: MAC address lock-down allows you to “lock” (make static) the current
set of FDB entries for a virtual port, and prevent any additional addresses being learned on that port.
Once a virtual port is locked, any additional addresses not already in the FDB will be blocked. This
feature is implemented through a new option in the
config ports command.
See Chapter 2, “Configuring Slots and Ports on a Switch,” and Chapter 6, “FDB Commands” in the
ExtremeWare Software Command Reference Guide for a detailed description of the commands related to
this feature.
• Port Frame/Packet flooding: This feature allows Extreme Switch ports to be configured to act like
hubs. Ports can be configured as “flooding-enabled ports” so that all frames and packets (including
all broadcast, multicast, known and unknown unicast packets) are just passed on to other
flooding-enabled ports. This features is implemented through a new
enable flooding ports
command.
See Chapter 4 in the ExtremeWare Software Command Reference Guide for a detailed description of this
command.
• Worldwide Daylight Savings Time support: This feature allows very flexible configuration of the day
and hour that daylight savings should begin and end in any arbitrary time zone or geographical
location. Beginning and ending dates and times may be specified either as a relative day (“begins
every second tuesday may at 2:00 ends every fourth sunday september at 1:00”) or as specific dates
and times (“begins on 4/15/2002 at 5:00 ends on 9/30/2002 at 5:00”).
See Chapter 2 in the ExtremeWare Software Command Reference Guide for a detailed description of this
command.
