CR00009379

Appletalk

3

When the switch was using AppleTalk, it occasionally failed to process

 

 

 

traffic. When this occurred, entering AppleTalk commands could cause

 

 

 

the switch to reboot.

 

 

 

This issue has been resolved.

 

 

 

 

CR00010377

Switch

3

Inserting a slave control card into slot A of a SwitchBlade chassis reduced

 

 

 

the number of external IP and IPX interfaces that could be created on all

 

 

 

line cards.

 

 

 

This issue has been resolved. The insertion of a slave control card into slot

 

 

 

A of a SwitchBlade chassis now does not change the number of external

 

 

 

IP and IPX interfaces that can be created on all line cards.

 

 

 

 

CR00010798

GUI

3

The web-based GUI enables users to manage switch ports by using icons

 

 

 

to represent each port. Previously, for 8-port line cards, alternating RJ-45

 

 

 

port icons did not display.

 

 

 

This issue has been resolved.

 

 

 

 

CR00011308

File, Install

3

On the slave switch controller, the list of files that the command show file

 

 

 

displayed sometimes included two entries for the file temp.ins. This file is

 

 

 

part of the switch’s management of temporary install records.

 

 

 

This issue has been resolved. The command now correctly shows only one

 

 

 

entry for temp.ins.

 

 

 

 

CR00011774

Switch

3

The dot1qTpFdbPort MIB entry displays the ports on which the switch has

 

 

 

learned MAC addresses. Previously, the switch started the list of ports at

 

 

 

port 0 instead of port 1.

 

 

 

This issue has been resolved.

 

 

 

 

CR00011849

Alarm

3

When a port was disconnected, the “Port Failure” indicator on the GUI

 

 

 

remained in alarm state until the port was reconnected. This gave the

 

 

 

incorrect impression that an alarm condition existed.

 

 

 

This issue has been resolved.

 

 

 

 

CR00012323

Switch, VLAN

3

Ports were not always numbered correctly in the SNMP tables

 

 

 

dot1dStpPortTable, dot1dTpPortTable, dot1qPortVlanTable,

 

 

 

dot1dBasePortTable, and swiPortTable.

 

 

 

This issue has been resolved. The switch now numbers ports in these

 

 

 

tables consistently, with the correct indexes.

 

 

 

 

CR00012609

IP Gateway,

3

The switch sometimes flooded IGMP packets that were destined for the

 

Switch, VLAN

 

All Routers multicast address, instead of transmitting them correctly. This

 

 

 

occurred when the switch had a hardware filter with an action of forward

 

 

 

and the filter matched on packets with a source IP address in a particular

 

 

 

subnet.

 

 

 

This issue has been resolved.

 

 

 

 

CR00012651

IP Gateway

3

When the switch used IP filters, it dropped packets if they were routed out

 

 

 

the interface on which they arrived, or if they were routed between two

 

 

 

different logical interfaces in an interface (such as vlan2-1 and vlan2-2).

 

 

 

This issue has been resolved. The switch now forwards packets correctly

 

 

 

when IP filters are configured.

4000 Series specifications

The Allied Telesis 4000 Series is designed to meet the growing demands for reliable and scalable networking solutions in enterprise environments. This series offers a range of stackable, Layer 2 and Layer 3 Ethernet switches, combining advanced features with robust performance to ensure seamless connectivity and superior network management.

One of the standout features of the Allied Telesis 4000 Series is its versatile stacking capability. The switches can be stacked together, enabling them to function as a single unit. This simplifies network management and provides enhanced redundancy, allowing for easy scaling without disrupting operations. The stacking technology supports high-speed interconnections, ensuring that data transfer between switches remains efficient and reliable.

The 4000 Series is equipped with advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching functionalities. This dual-layer capability allows for both basic data linking and more complex routing operations, providing a flexible solution for organizations with diverse networking needs.
