Enhancement

Summary

Page

 

 

 

Friendly Port Names

Enables you to assign optional, meaningful names to physical ports on the

73

 

switch.

 

Security Enhancements

 

 

SSH Security

Provide remote access to management functions on the switches via encrypted

78

 

paths between the switch and management station clients capable of SSHv1

 

 

operation.

 

RADIUS

Protect access to the switch and monitor use of network resources through a

102

 

centralized client authentication and accounting service.

 

Port-Based Access

Release F.04.08 provides 802.1X port-access control for users requesting

29

Control (802.1X)

access from multiple points within the network, including application of user

 

 

profiles configured on a central RADIUS server. Release F.05.17 updates this

 

 

feature to include Open VLAN mode, which changes how the port responds

 

 

when it detects a new client. For this reason you will find the documentation for

 

 

the Port-Access (802.1X) with Open VLAN mode under "Enhancements in

 

 

Release F.05.17" instead of in this section.

 

IP Preserve

Enable retention of the current IP address and subnet mask (for the switch’s

129

 

default VLAN), and the default gateway address when downloading a configu-

 

 

ration file and rebooting the switch. (Operates on switches that use the Manual

 

 

IP addressing instead of the default DHCP method.)

 

QoS Priority

Enable assignment of non-default priority settings to inbound, untagged packets

132

 

received on the switch.

 

Isolated Port Groups

Provides an alternative to VLANs in situations where VLANs cannot be used.

20

 

Release F.05.17 updates this feature to include two new groups. For this reason

 

 

you will find the documentation for Isolated Port Groups under "Enhancements

 

 

in Release F.05.17" instead of in this section.

 

Terminating Remote Sessions

Provides a "kill" command to terminate remote Telnet and SSH sessions.

136

Rapid Spanning-Tree (802.1W)

Provides the functionality for the new Spanning Tree standard, IEEE 802.1w

137

software
