AlliedWare Plus Version 2.1.2 Software Release Notes

After you enter a banner command, the prompt “Type CTRL/D to finish” is displayed on your screen, at which point you may enter a banner message of up to 50 characters for the User Exec and Privilege Exec modes banner and 100 characters for the message-of-the-day banner. Spaces and special characters are allowed. When you are finished entering a message, hold down the CTRL key and type D to return to the command prompt in the Global Configuration mode. To test the banner for the User Exec and Privilege Exec modes, return to the Privileged Exec mode and issue the CLEAR SCREEN command. To test the message-of-the-day banner, log out and log in again.

This example creates the User Exec and Privilege Exec modes banner “Engineering Switch Building 12:”

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal awplus(config)# banner exec Type CNTL/D to finish Engineering Switch Building 12 awplus(config)#

This example creates the message-of-the-day banner “Updated November 12, 2010:”

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal awplus(config)# banner motd Type CNTL/D to finish Updated November 12, 2010 awplus(config)#

ˆLOG BUFFERED Command - The function and format of the LOG BUFFERED command has not changed, but the FAN_CTRL option is no longer supported. If the command and option are in the backup boot configuration file, reenter the command on the switch, omitting the option.

ˆFILTERING Command - This command, which In v2.1.1 allowed you to block ingress broadcast, multicast, or unknown unicast packets on ports, is not supported in version 2.1.2. There is no equivalent v2.1.2 command.

ˆCLOCK TIMEZONE Command - If the switch is using an SNTP or NTP server as the source of its date and time, you have to reenter the CLOCK TIMEZONE command because its format has changed. You may now specify both hours and minutes to identify the difference between local time and UTC, whereas before the command only accepted hours. The new format of the command is:

clock timezone +hh:mm-hh:mm

HHare hours in the range of -12 to +12 and MM are minutes in the range of 00 to 60. The offset must include a plus or minus sign. You must include both the hours and minutes, and both values must have two digits. The example sets the UTC offset to +2 hours:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal awplus(config)# clock timezone +02:00

The example sets the UTC offset to -8 hours, 15 minutes:

awplus> enable

awplus# configure terminal awplus(config)# clock timezone -08:15

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.
