CUSTOMER RELEASE NOTES

Previous Firmware Release Information

The following known issues and enhancements made in the prior release of firmware are outlined below. Please refer to the specific release notes of the firmware release for additional information.

Prior Release: 2.06.05

Added support for closed loop stacking up to seven units.

Added support for redundant management.

VH 2.6 Closed Loop and Redundant Management

1.VH 2.05.xx customers upgrading to open stack:

ƒCustomers running firmware revisions prior to 2.5.9.x must upgrade to 2.5.9.x before upgrading to firmware revision 2.06.05 unless performing the upgrade as an Xmodem firmware upgrade.

2.VH 2.06.05 Closed Loop Stack:

ƒClosed loop stacking requires the use of the closed loop cable (p/n VH-2402S-CBL). The cable is available as a separate orderable item.

ƒClosed loop stacking requires that one VH-STACK2 module exist in the stack.

ƒClosed loop stacking requires one VH-2402S2 (2nd generation 24-port switch) in the stack with one VH-STACK2 module configured in this unit.

3.VH 2.06.05 Closed Loop and Redundant Management:

ƒSupport for ‘redundant management’ requires the new management modules (VH-SMGMT2) and firmware revision 2.06.05 or higher.

ƒStacking with redundant management modules requires the new management modules (VH-SMGMT2) be running the same version 2.06.05 or higher firmware. The Primary module must be installed in a VH-2402S2 base along with a VH-STACK2 module.

ƒFor proper stack operation, the VH-STACK2 module (within the same base units as the VH-SMGMT2 management modules) cannot be within the serial number range of:

02393107210A - 02394226210A

02361221210A - 02362526210A

02360221210A - 02361220210A

02405207210A - 02406098210A

If existing network installations are being upgraded, and VH-STACK2 modules are within this range, please contact Enterasys Support to RMA the stack cards.

NOTE: Customers running VH 2.5 firmware will not experience problems with this serial number range of VH-STACK2 modules.

KNOWN RESTRICTIONS AND LIMITATIONS:

When modifying Speed/Duplex and Flow Control parameters on more than 8 Ports within the Port Configuration View, only the Speed/Duplex values will be saved after clicking on <OK> or <APPLY>.

When a VLAN is set to “Not in Service” and there is an Egress Port assigned to the VLAN traffic with that VLAN tag, traffic is forwarded instead of being dropped.

Work-around: Within the “Bridge Settings” View, change the “VLAN Learning” parameter to IVL mode.

Note: This issue will occur with an agent Module in the same switch within the stack. A “Learning” Broadcast packet will cause this event to happen.

Due to a Chip Limitation, the VH-2402S does not support "Admit Only VLAN-tagged frames."
