CR  | Module | Level  | Description  | 
CR00007105 | MSTP | -  | Two new commands have been added to simplify MSTP management:  | 
  | 
  | 
  | enable mstp   | 
  | 
  | 
  | disable mstp  | 
  | 
  | 
  | These commands enable or disable MSTP on the specified ports for the CIST and  | 
  | 
  | 
  | all   | 
  | 
  | 
  | Previously, this operation required two commands. For example, you can now use  | 
  | 
  | 
  | enable mstp   | 
  | 
  | 
  | enable mstp cist   | 
  | 
  | 
  | enable mstp msti=instance   | 
CR00009825 | IP Gateway | -  | When a router or switch receives a packet and does not have an ARP entry for  | 
  | 
  | 
  | the destination address, it broadcasts an ARP Request message over the egress IP  | 
  | 
  | 
  | interface. If it does not receive a reply within a short time, it notifies the sending  | 
  | 
  | 
  | device that the destination was unknown. | 
  | 
  | 
  | This enhancement lets you configure how long the router or switch waits for a  | 
  | 
  | 
  | response. Use the following new command to specify the timeout period in  | 
  | 
  | 
  | seconds: | 
  | 
  | 
  | set ip arpwaittimeout=1..30 | 
  | 
  | 
  | The default is 1 second. You may need to increase the timeout period if you are  | 
  | 
  | 
  | communicating with devices that are slow to respond. | 
  | 
  | 
  | The easiest way to see the effect is to ping an unavailable device. The timeout  | 
  | 
  | 
  | determines the delay between pinging an IP address and receiving the reply that  | 
  | 
  | 
  | the device is unreachable.  | 
CR00011164 | Switch | -  | Improvements have been made to the throughput of   | 
  | 
  | 
  | when the   |
