AT-S63 Version 3.1.0 Patch 1 Software Release Notes

ˆStack Configuration limit with AT-9448Ts/XP as a “Master”. The AT-9448Ts/XP can act as the master in a stack of two switches only. The AT9424Ts or AT9424Ts/XP must be used as the master with three or more switches in a stack.

ˆIP Addressing and Routing. Although software will allow you to configure IP interfaces on any VLAN within the switch, only one IP address per stack is supported. Layer 3 switching is not supported. (6074)

ˆForwarding Database (FDB). In a stacking configuration, the master FDB may display addresses that have moved or no longer exist on a member of the stack for a period up to the age out time. This occurs because all addresses on a port are deleted on the member switch when a port is disconnected on the member and this information is not communicated to the master. In addition, addresses on a member switch may not appear on the software FDB even though they are learned locally. (6159)

ˆDefault Gateway/Route. If the topology of the stack is changed from a ring to a chain or from a chain to a ring, the default gateway/route will be lost until you reboot the stack. This affects both static and dynamic addresses. (6146)

ˆAdding Ports to VLANs. If you add ports to an existing VLAN, the ports are not be included in the VLAN until the configuration is saved and the stack is rebooted. This issue does not apply to new VLANs. (6121)

ˆSetting stack to default configuration. Do not use the “set config=none“ command while in stack mode. If this command is used in the stack mode, the standalone “boot.cfg” file will be loaded after a reboot. To set a stack to the default configuration, delete the “stack.cfg” file and then reboot. Once a “save config” is performed, the stack.cfg will be created with the default configuration. (6158)

Resolved Issues

ˆMultiple supplicants and 802.1x port-based network access control. The multiple operating mode for 802.1x authenticator ports was nonfunctional. This problem has been resolved. In order for authenticator ports to work properly when set to the multiple operating mode, the ports have to be connected to other Ethernet switches or other point-to-point devices. Authenticator ports do support multiple supplicants when connected to devices that are not point-to-point, like Ethernet hubs, but you have to configure the ports to single operating mode and enable the piggy-back feature. (5431)

ˆMAC address-based authentication in 802.1x port-based network access control. The MAC address-based method of authentication in 802.1x port-based network access control was unreliable. This problem has been resolved. (5425)

ˆClass of Service (CoS) priority override. The priority override feature, for applying a temporary CoS priority value to the tagged and untagged ingress traffic on a port, was nonfunctional. This problem has been resolved. (5492)

ˆMAC address-based virtual LANs. MAC address-based virtual LANs did not work. This problem has been resolved. (5384, 5387)

ˆCompact flash memory card slot. This AT-S63 Management Software periodically had difficulties accessing a compact flash memory card on the AT-9424Ts, AT-9424Ts/XP, and AT-9448Ts/XP switches. This problem has been resolved. (5509)
