AlliedWare Plus Version 2.1.2 Software Release Notes

This example of the command uploads the boot configuration file “sw2bldg2.cfg to a TFTP server that has the IP address 149.182.34.15:

awplus# copy flash tftp 149.182.34.15 sw2bldg2.cfg

5. Go to Phase 2.

Phase 2: Downloading the New AlliedWare Plus Version 2.1.2 Management Software

To upgrade the switch to AlliedWare Plus Version 2.1.2 from AlliedWare Plus Version 2.1.1:

1.Store the AlliedWare Plus Version 2.1.2 Management Software on the TFTP server on your network.

2.If you have not already started the TFTP server, start it now.

3.If you have not already started a local or remote management session on the switch, start a session now.

4.Use the ENABLE command to move to the Privileged Executive mode.

awplus> enable awplus#

5.Use the COPY command to download the AlliedWare Plus Version 2.1.2 Management Software from the TFTP server to the switch. Here is the format of the command:

copy tftp flash ipaddress filename

The IPADDRESS parameter specifies the IP address of the TFTP server on your network. The FILENAME parameter specifies the filename of the AlliedWare Plus Version 2.1.2 Management Software stored on the TFTP server. The extension must include the “.img” extension. The name cannot contain spaces or special characters.

In this example, the IP address of the TFTP server is 149.157.18.78 and the name of the management software file is “ats-9000-2.1.2.img:”

awplus# copy tftp flash 149.157.18.78 ats-9000-2.1.2.img

After receiving the file from the TFTP server, the switch writes it to flash memory and resets. The entire process takes several minutes. The switch is running the new software after it completes the reset.

6.Establish a new management session with the switch.

7.Enter the Privileged Exec mode and enter the WRITE command to same the configuration.

awplus> enable awplus# write

8.Go to Phase 3.

Phase 3: Updating the Commands

A few commands have changed from v2.1.1 to v2.1.2. If the switch encountered any of these commands in its boot configuration file when it reset, it skipped over them to remove them from its running configuration. To complete the upgrade procedure, you should print out the boot configuration file you uploaded to your TFTP server in Phase 1, and examine it for any of the modified commands. The modified commands are described here:

ˆBANNER EXEC and BANNER MOTD Commands - The formats of these commands, which are used to create the User Exec and Privileged Exec modes banner and message-of-the- day banner, have changed in v2.1.2. Where before a command and its banner message were included on the same line, they are now entered separately. The new formats are:

banner exec banner motd

AT-9000 specifications

Allied Telesis, a leading provider of Ethernet networking solutions, has developed the AT-9000 series switches, catering to the needs of modern enterprises. The AT-9000, a part of this series, stands out due to its robust features, advanced technologies, and high performance, making it an ideal choice for businesses seeking reliable network infrastructure.

One of the main features of the AT-9000 is its Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching capabilities. This flexibility allows network administrators to manage both traditional and more advanced networking scenarios seamlessly. The switch supports various protocols, including VLANs, which enhance network segmentation and improve security. This is particularly beneficial for organizations that need to maintain multiple networks within a single physical infrastructure.

The AT-9000 also incorporates Green Ethernet technology, which optimizes energy consumption by automatically adjusting power based on the current network traffic load. This not only helps organizations reduce their energy costs but also contributes to environmental sustainability efforts, aligning with corporate social responsibility goals.

In terms of performance, the AT-9000 series is equipped with a high-speed backplane, facilitating fast data transfer rates and minimizing latency. The switches are designed to support high bandwidth applications, ensuring that data flows efficiently even during peak usage times. With support for QoS (Quality of Service), network administrators can prioritize critical traffic, ensuring that essential applications receive the bandwidth they require for optimal performance.

Another notable characteristic is the AT-9000's user-friendly management interface. The switch can be managed through a web interface or the Command Line Interface (CLI), allowing for easy configuration and monitoring. Additionally, it supports SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) for standardized network management practices, therefore providing visibility and control across the entire network.

Moreover, the AT-9000 supports stacking capabilities, enabling multiple switches to function as a single unit. This feature simplifies management and enhances network scalability, allowing businesses to expand their network infrastructure as they grow without overhauling existing systems.

In conclusion, the Allied Telesis AT-9000 switch is a versatile, powerful, and efficient solution for enterprise networking. Its combination of Layer 2 and Layer 3 capabilities, energy-efficient technologies, high performance, and ease of management positions it as an advantageous choice for businesses looking to enhance their network infrastructure. With these features, the AT-9000 series continues to be a reliable component in modern networking environments.
