AT-S63 Version 4.1.0 Patch 2 Software Release Notes
PN 613-001278 Rev A 12 Allied Telesis, Inc.
SFP and GBIC ports. The switch considers the fiber optic port on an optional SFP or GBIC
module in the AT-9424T/GB and AT-9424T/SP switches as active even if the port is receiving
a signal but has not established a valid link with the remote node. If an optional fiber optic port
loses or is unable to establish a link but is receiving a signal, it remains as the active port and
the switch does not activate the corresponding twisted pair port 23R or 24R. (2850)
Enhanced stacking. The IP address 172.16.16.16 is reserved for the enhanced stacking
feature. Do not assign this address to any device in the same subnet as an enhanced stack.
Login password. The maximum length of a login password is 16 alphanumeric characters for
manager accounts created through the RADIUS and TACACS+ authentication protocols and
supplicant accounts for 802.1x port-based network access control. Passwords exceeding this
limit will not work.
TACACS+. The TACACS+ client software on the switch supports Password Protection
Protocol (PAP), but not Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) or AppleTalk
Remote Access Protocol (ARAP). (1078)
MAC addresses. You must move the cursor manually from field to field when entering an IP
or MAC address in the web browser interface. The cursor does not move automatically as
you enter the parts of an address. (1699, 2123)
SNTP. The SNTP client software on the switch sends a Transmit Time Stamp with a value
NULL when synchronizing with a Network Time Protocol server. This does not affect the
operation of the SNTP client software. (1676)
SFP modules and the AT-9408LC/SP Switch. Always disconnect the fiber optic cable from an
SFP module in an AT-9408LC/SP Switch before removing the module. The L/A LED for the
slot may remain on if you remove an SFP module while it has a link to an end node. This
problem does not affect the operation of the switch or the SFP slot. The L/A LED goes off the
next time you install an SFP module in the slot.
SET STACK command. The NEWMODULEID parameter in this command has a STATIC
option that is suppose to let you convert dynamic stack ID numbers into static ID numbers.
This option does not work. To assign a static ID number to a switch, enter the number with the
NEWMODULEID parameter (e.g., NEWMODULEID=2).
Features History
Version 4.0.0
Stand-alone AT-9400 Switches:
Stand-alone switches now support up to three manager sessions at one time. To adjust this
feature, which has a default setting of one manager session, use the SET SYSTEM
command.
The 802.1x port-based network access control feature is now fully compliant with the
following:
— Microsoft Network Access Protocol on Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista, and
Windows XP Service Pack 3
— Symantec Network Access Control
The management software has a new command line interface based on the commands in the
AlliedWare Plus™ operating system found on other Allied Telesis products, such as the Layer
3 switches. If you are already familiar with the commands in the AlliedWare Plus™ operating
system, you may find this new interface more convenient to use than the standard command
line.
