Managing Faults on Avaya Virtual Services Platform 7200 Series and 8000 Series Version 4.2.1

Channelization
VOSS 4.2 adds support for channelization of 40 Gbps ports on Avaya Virtual Services Platform
8000 Series. Some commands now support a sub-port parameter to show or configure a specific
channel.
Log file updates with enhanced secure mode
Enhanced secure mode allows the system to provide role-based access levels, stronger password
requirements, and stronger rules on password length, password complexity, password change
intervals, password reuse, and password maximum age use.
If you enable enhanced secure mode, the system encrypts the entire log file using AES encryption.
With enhanced secure mode enabled, only individuals in the administrator or auditor role can view
log files to analyze switch access and configuration activity. However, no access level role can
modify the content of the log files, not even the administrator or the auditor access level roles. The
administrator has access to the remove and delete commands.
If you enable enhanced secure mode, you cannot access the following commands for log files at
any role-based access level:
•
more
•
edit
•
rename
•
copy
If someone attempts to access a log file with the preceding commands a warning message displays
on the screen.
With enhanced secure mode enabled, authorized users can use SFTP to transfer files to a remote
server with the content encrypted.

following additional fields:
• CP slot number
• context
• sequence number
• user name
• ACLI commands
