Summary

TACACS+

TACACS+ authentication enables you to use a central server to allow or deny

165

 

access to Series 2500 switches (and other TACACS-aware devices) in your

 

 

network. This means that you can use a central database to create multiple

 

 

unique username/password sets with associated privilege levels for use by

 

 

individuals who have reason to access the switch from either the switch’s

 

 

console port (local access) or Telnet (remote access).

 

CDP

Software version F.02.02 for the Series 2500 switches, implemented CDP-v1

n/a

 

(Cisco Discovery Protocol, version 1) to help discover devices in a network.

 

 

Software version F.05.50 and beyond updates this network discovery method

 

 

to the industry standard Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP). For release

189

Enhancement

Broadcast Mode: The switch acquires time updates by accepting the time

 

 

value from the first SNTP time broadcast detected.

 

 

Unicast Mode: The switch requests a time update from the configured

 

 

SNTP server.

 

IGMP Enhancements

IGMP on the Series 2500 switches now supports IGMP without IP addressing

208

 

and Forced Fast-Leave IGMP.

 

Switch Memory Operation

A brief description of how the switch saves configuration changes and a

216

 

recommendation on when to use the write memory command.

 

Port Security Enhancement

Changes how the switch retains learned static addresses across a reboot.

217

Using the CLI To Configure

Prior to release F.02.02, you could configure Manager and Operator user-

219

Usernames

names only from the Web browser interface. Beginning with F.02.02 you can

 

 

also use the CLI to configure usernames.
