November 2021202-12091-03
We added the following sections:
Display the status of the SSL certificates on page 528
Activate a certificate on page 530
We made other minor changes.
We published the manual in a new format.
This second publication is a major revision.March 2021202-12091-02
We added the following:
Information about the 24-port PoE+ and PoE++ models and the 40-port
PoE+ and PoE++ models (see Supported switches on page 23).
Information about the Auto-Trunk feature (see Auto-Trunk overview on
page 195 and Enable or disable Auto-Trunks on page 196).
Information about the Auto-LAG feature (see Auto-LAG overview on page
302, Enable or disable Auto-LAGs on page 303, and Configure the hash
mode for Auto-LAGs on page 304).
We revised a very large part of the manual and added multiple new
sections to provide more complete and correct information.
We replaced the old appendix with defaults setting with a new one that
also includes hardware specifications (see Software Default Settings and
Hardware Specifications on page 784).
We made multiple corrections throughout the entire manual.
