Release M.10.66 Enhancements

■If you enter the spanning-tree instance vlan command before a static or dynamic VLAN is configured on the switch to preconfigure VLAN ID-to-MSTI mappings, no error message is displayed. Later, each newly configured VLAN that has already been associated with an MSTI is automatically assigned to the MSTI.

This new default behavior differs from automatically including configured (static and dynamic) VLANs in the IST instance and requiring you to manually assign individual static VLANs to an MSTI.

■The valid VLAN IDs that you can map to a specified MSTI are from 1 to 4094. The VLAN ID- to-MSTI mapping does not require a VLAN to be already configured on the switch. The MSTP VLAN enhancement allows you to preconfigure MSTP topologies before the VLAN IDs associated with each instance exist on a switch.

■When you use preconfigured VLAN ID-to-MSTI topologies, ensure that MSTP switches remain in the same region by mapping all VLAN IDs used in the region to the same MSTIs on each regional switch.

■When you update switch software, the existing MSTP topology configuration is automatically saved. All existing VLAN ID-to-MSTI assignments are maintained on a switch for uninter- rupted MSTP network operation.

Release M.10.66 Enhancements

Release M.10.66 includes the following enhancement:

■Enhancement (0000000818) — This enhancement allows syslog configuration via SNMP.

Configure Logging via SNMP

Debug messages generated by the software can be sent to a syslog server. This feature provides the ability to enter addresses and filter parameters for syslog using SNMP, which allows more options for remote access and management of the switch. The HP enterprise MIB hpicfSyslog.mib is added to allow the configuration and monitoring of syslog. (RFC 3164 supported)

The CLI has some additional parameters that permit interoperability with SNMP that are explained below.

Note

See the section “Command Differences for the ProCurve Series 2600/2800/3400cl/6400cl Switches” on page 142 for command differences on these switches.
