Subject: RADring CML-NM, CML-IB/T & CML-IB/E
New Software Versions
Description:
The following is a description of the new features and compatibility of the latest software
versions for the RADring Common Logic module as well as for the Ethernet and Token-Ring In-
Band agents modules.
Features and Improvements:
1. The Ethernet modules support repeater MIB monitor (statistics) and repeater address track
according to RFC-1516.
2. Ethernet security was implemented on two levels:
Port security and Segment (repeater)
security. Port security can be applied to all the ports in the hub. Segment security is applied
only to those EP-modules ports which are part of the repeater (not "stand-alone" modules).
3. There are three newly added security entries (ON/OFF, Mask & Pattern ) for Ethernet
segment security (same as for Token Ring).
4. Multiple securities (Masks) for RR-TL/2F-SAT was increased to 8 (instead of 2) and multiple
MAC address information (up to 250 stations if correlation is set to ON) was added.
5. CML-NM support for MLBT, FTB and MBE modules - All the basic module information (IP
and MAC address, adapter status, LED status) are available to NMS via RADring agent.
XMODEM downloading is also supported.
Note : RR-MBE is not supported by NMS application at the moment
6. Ethernet agent (CML-IB/E) can completely replace CML-IB/T module except of specific
Token- Ring functions (Beaconing and Token Ring MAC address detect for correlation). This
feature is important in case the NMS is a part of an Ethernet LAN.
7. Software downloading for CML/IB, CML/IB-E CML-NM is implemented (in-band TFTP and
out-band X-MODEM).
8. The new CML-NM can be configured to operate up to 115.2 kbps on the serial management
port.
