Summary

LLDP

Implements the industry standard Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) on your

7

 

switch, as an alternative to the Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP). The LLDP

 

 

provides a standards-based method for enabling switches to advertise them-

 

 

selves to adjacent devices.

 

Disable Auto MDIX

A new global command, "no auto-mdix", that disables Auto-MDIX for all ports

14

 

that are in auto-negotiation mode.

 

New Console Option

A new console option removes terminal escape sequences, which allows

15

 

scripts to better interact with the Command Line Interface.

 

Clarification of Time Zone

The method of configuring the Time Zone for TimeP or SNTP configuration has

15

 

been updated.

 

Syslog (Syslogd)capability

Adds the ability to direct Event Log messaging to an external file as an aid in

16

 

debugging network-level problems. Complies with RFC 3164.

 

Isolated Port Groups

Originally added in release F.04.08 to provide an alternative to VLANs, this

20

 

feature now offers two new isolation groups: group1 and group2.

 

Port-Based Access Control

Originally added in release F.04.08 to provide access control through a RADIUS

29

(802.1X) with Open VLAN Mode

server, this feature now includes Open VLAN Mode. This gives you a means for

 

 

allowing a client computer without 802.1X supplicant software to temporarily

 

 

join an unauthorized-client VLAN and proceed with initialization services, such

 

 

as acquiring IP addressing, 802.1X supplicant software, and other optional

 

 

services you may want to provide.

 

IGMP Version 3 Support

The switch now supports operation with IGMPv3 traffic.
