Chapter 2: New in this document
The following sections detail what is new in Administering Avaya Virtual Services Platform 7200
Series and 8000 Series, NN47227-600.
Features
See the following section for information about feature changes.
Release 5.1.2
The following features are included in Release 5.1.2:
Logon banner
This release provides the option to set up a custom logon banner using EDM. The logon banner is
used to display custom text such as warning message, company name, and contact information to
the CLI user before authentication. Until this release, setting up custom warning text was possible
only using CLI commands.
For more information, see
Configuring logon banner using EDM on page 212.
SSH key sizes
This release updates SSH key sizes. This release accepts key sizes in multiples of 1024. The
current key sizes are as follows:
Parameter
Value
DSA host key 1024
RSA host key 1024 or 2048
DSA user key 1024
Different releases can support different DSA host key, RSA host key, and DSA user key sizes. If you
need to upgrade or downgrade to an earlier release that does not support the same key size, you
must delete all of the keys from the .ssh directory and generate new keys for SSH. For more
information about supported software, see Release Notes for VSP Operating System Software,
NN47227-401.
For more information, see:
•
Secure Shell fundamentals on page 147.
• Setting SSH configuration parameters on page 161.
• Generating user key files on page 168.
