What’s New in Version 3.0.0.45

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.

AT-S94 Version 3.0.0.45 Software Release Notes

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.

Note

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:

Note

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:

Note

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.
