These documents can be found on the Documentation and Tools CD-ROM packaged with your router or switch, or on the support site at: www.alliedtelesyn.co.nz/documentation/documentation.html

The main new features in release 2.3.1 are:

■Border Gateway Protocol Phase 1a

■Paladin Firewall HTTP Proxy (Application Gateway), additional Firewall NAT features and rule expiry

Hardware Platforms

Software Release 2.3.1 is available for the following hardware platforms:

■AR300 Series Routers

■AR700 Series Routers

■AR800 Series Modular Switching Routers

■Rapier Series Layer 3 Switches

Software Release 2.3.1 will support the Rapier i Series hardware platforms as they become available (“Rapier i Series” on page 2).

For existing models with Network Service Module (NSM) bays, Software Release 2.3.1 supports hot swapping of NSMs, and some PICs in those NSMs, so that they can be installed and uninstalled without the need to power down the entire router or switch (“Hot Swapping Network Service Modules” on page 3).

Rapier i Series

The Rapier i Series layer 3 switches will provide all the features of the original Rapier series. While the first software release on these hardware models will provide the same features as the original Rapier Series (plus bandwidth limiting), the hardware on the Rapier i Series layer 3 switches will allow later software releases to provide enhanced Virtual LAN and Quality of Service features.
