New Software Features
None
Resolved Issues
Fatal error reporting task LPCL, when users perform 802.1x authentication (CQ 134428
ATI293)
Guest VLAN timeout doesn’t work even if port is changing its state from up/down (CQ134167
ATI295)
DNS behavior is inconsistent (CQ129822 ATI285)
Daylight Saving Time setting does not function properly in the southern hemisphere (CQ
138179 ATI 308)
Adding the ability to change IP address remotely in one step. (CQ 141261 ATI 313)
Operational Notes
100 Mbps SFP: Switch over back to fiber fails after fiber link restored. It happens when an
LCP155A4HSR 100M SFP is used when backup Copper link is 1G.
Recommended User Work Around: Works fine when fiber and Copper speeds are similar
and there are no issues with different SFP model.
Port Mirroring: Port mirroring closes the port and opens it again.
Recommended User Work Around: Not required.
TAB functionality: Use of the Tab key does not complete the command Interface range
VLAN all and the command Switchport general allowed VLAN.
Recommended User Work Around: Type in the full command.

SNMP - EWS > SNMP > Notify > Filters: Cannot add or modify filter with name containing
special characters.
Recommended User Work Around: Do not use special characters.
Time - EWS > System > System Time: The current day becomes undefined after changing
Time Zone Offset.
Recommended User Work Around: The current day will be displayed correctly when the
switch is reset.
Web Response Time: Upon full table configuration it takes longer time to open the page
IPv6 Neighbors and the page Statistics->RMON Alarm.
Flow Control: Flow control does not work on the Gigabit ports.
Recommended User Work Around: No work around.
Encryption: It is impossible to add MD5/SHA keys via EWS.
Recommended User Work Around: Use CLI commands.
Syslog: Fail to add one syslog server with a description of maximum length including some
space.
Recommended User Work Around: Do not use spaces and avoid using the maximum
allows length of the description.
LLDP: When in mixed stack of PoE and Non PoE units, you can configure the PoE-PSE
optional TLVs for non-PoE ports and these non-PoE ports will be advertised.
Recommended User Work Around: Do not configure the PoE-PSE optional TLVs for nonPoE ports, so that this information will not be advertised.
TACACS: When using the single connection option, the first login or “enable” attempts will
fail, but the retry works.
Recommended User Work Around: Use the multiple connection option (default setting).
Port lock: Port security mechanism is not triggered for MAC violation if MAC is learned on
another locked port as a secured MAC address.
Recommended User Work Around: No work around
Mac-group mapping and 802.1x: Mac-group mapping on the same port on which 802.1x
takes place, stops the authentication.
Recommended User Work Around: Use DVA instead.
IGMP snooping and private VLAN: IGMP snooping and private VLAN will not work on the
same port. Recommended User Work Around: No work around.
Mac authentication: MAC authorization fails if the default of the radius server is not md5.
Recommended User Work Around: Use md5 as default of the radius server.

Version 3.0.0.45 Upgrade Process
You must have the correct software and bootloader installed on your switch before beginning the
upgrade process to Version 3.0.0.45. Perform the following procedure:

AT-S94 Version 3.0.0.45 Software Release Notes
Note
Note
Note
If you have a stacked configuration, all switches must be running the latest bootloader and
the same software version before you upgrade the software for the stack.
You can download Version 3.0.0.45files from our web site at www.alliedtelesis.com.
Refer to “Where to Find Product Information and Management Software Updates” on
page 6 for instructions on how to navigate to the software updates page for the AT-8000S.
All of the file names referenced below are contained in the zip file that you download.
1. Log into the switch.
2. For a successful software upgrade of your AT-8000S switch, it is mandatory that you first
install the latest boot loader file (s94bv10107.rfb). You can find this file in the
Latest_Boot_Loader folder that you have downloaded from the Allied Telesis web site.
3. Verify that your switches are running the correct boot loader and management software by
using the following command:
show version
4. If your AT-8000S series switch has Version 1.0.0.25 (or earlier) currently installed on it, go to
the “Upgrade Procedure from Version 1.0.0.25” on page 11. and follow the steps to upgrade
to Version 3.0.0.45. If your AT-8000S series switch has Version 1.1.0.32 or later installed on
it, go to the next step to upgrade to Version 3.0.0.45.
5. With information displayed from the “show version” command, copy the boot version number
exactly as shown. Using this number as the password, extract the ats94-30045.ros software
upgrade file from the ats94-30045.zip file.
6. Assuming your switch is running the correct bootloader, you have the correct password to
extract the ats94-30045.ros software upgrade file and you know that your current bootloader
is compatible with the Version 3.0.0.45 software. If this is the case, you can proceed with the
Version 3.0.0.45 software upgrade by following steps 9 - 11. If this is not the case,
7. If your switch is NOT running the correct bootloader version and you can NOT extract the
ats94-30045.ros software upgrade file and you must install the latest boot loader file provided
(s94bv10107.rfb) by using the following commands:
You must substitute the IP address of your local TFTP server.
For a stand alone switch -
Copy tftp://192.168.1.10/s94bv10107.rfb boot
For a stack configuration -
Copy tftp://192.168.1.10/s94bv10107.rfb unit://*/boot

8. Verify that your switches are running the correct boot loader by using the following command:
show version
With information displayed from the “show version” command, copy the boot version number
exactly as shown. Using this number as the password, extract the ats94-30045.ros software
upgrade file from the ats94-30045.zip file.
9. Use one of the following commands depending on your configuration:
You must substitute the IP address of your local TFTP server.
For a stand alone switch -
Copy tftp://192.168.1.10/ats94-30045.ros image
For a stack configuration -
Copy tftp://192.168.1.10/ats94-30045.ros unit://*/image
10. Before rebooting the stand alone switch or stack, you must change the active image,
including each slave switch in the stack. To check the active image for each switch use the
following command.
Show bootvar
The resulting display will tell you which image is active on each switch. Depending on your
configuration, you can now issue one of the following commands, substituting x and y from
the Show bootvar command:
For a stand alone switch -
Boot sys image-y
For each switch in a stack -
Boot sys unit x image-y
Switch the active image for next reboot.
11. Reboot the device with the command:
reload
This command will cause the switch to reboot. By the end of the reboot process, Version
3.0.0.45 software will be running.
Software Installed with Incorrect Bootloader
If you accidentally install the Version 3.0.0.45 software on a switch without the latest boot loader,
the switch will fail to boot properly. To recover from this situation, you must obtain a previous
version of software (V3.0.0.35 or V3.0.0.38) from our ATI web site and perform the following
procedure to install this software using the XMODEM protocol:
1. Set up a console port connection.
