Troubleshooting the Upgrade Procedure

AlliedWare Plus Version 2.1.2 Software Release Notes

SET SFLOW COLLECTOR IP Command - In v2.1.1 this command in the Port Interface mode was used to identify the sFlow collector that was to be the recipient of packet data from a port. This command is not supported in v2.1.2 because you may specify only one sFlow collector for the switch. The collector is identified with the SFLOW COLLECTOR IP command in the Global Configuration mode.

IP ACCESS-GROUP command - The function of this command, which is used to assign access control lists (ACLs) to ports, has not changed in v2.1.2, but the IP keyword has been removed, shortening the command to just ACCESS-GROUP. To reapply the ACLs to the ports, it will be necessary to reenter the command in the Port Interface modes of the appropriate ports. To do this, examine the backup configuration file for any IP ACCESS- GROUP commands and then reenter the same commands, but without the IP keyword, in the Port Interface modes of the affected ports.

If you have a problem downloading the management software to the switch from your TFTP server, here are a few suggestion on how to resolve it:

Check that the TFTP server on your network is active.

Use the SHOW IP INTERFACE command in the User Exec or Privileged Exec mode to verify that the switch has an IP address.

Use the PING command in the Privileged Exec mode to check for an active link between the switch and your TFTP server.

Verify that you entered the COPY command correctly. Be sure to include the “.img” extension in the filenames of the management software file.

If you are using a TFTP server that is case sensitive, be sure to use upper and lowercase characters when specifying filenames in the commands.

Check that the management software file is stored in the correct directory on the TFTP server.

Operational Notes

The speed of the AT-SPFX/2 and AT-SPFX/15 modules has to be manually set to 100Mbps with the SPEED command. This example of the command configures the speed of the AT- SPFX/2 or AT-SPFX/15 module in slot 1 of an AT-9000/28SP Switch:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal awplus(config)# interface port1.0.1 awplus(config-if)# speed 100

The assignment of an IPv6 management address to the switch must be performed manually using the IPV6 IPADDRESS command, because the switch cannot obtain an IPv6 address with stateless autoconfiguration or from a DHCP6 server.

You cannot use the web browser interface to configure these features:

—Access control lists

—Enhanced stacking

—Quality of Service

—SNMP

—Voice VLANs

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.
