Operational Notes
The default setting of the MODE LED is FDX (instead of ACT) when the switch is first turned on
for Version 2.0.0.26 management software.
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)
Known Issues
The following known issues are present in the current release of the AT-S95 software:
Default VLAN - Disabling the default VLAN is not allowed in this release, according to the
device specifications. As a part of backward compatibility support, upgrading a device which
has the default VLAN disabled on it to latest version will succeed. Relevant errors for
compatibility of configuration are displayed.
Compatibility - To allow proper support of backward and forward compatibility switching
between the old and new images using an existing configuration file (created on an older
version) should be done by 'reload'.
Port Mirroring - Target port that is configured to 802.1x Auto should not send EAP packets.
This is a minor issue as it does not undermine functionality or performance.
QoS: Egress Tagged Port send frames with default user priority 1 instead 0.
Stack: Master and backup are 24 ports non PoE, slave unit 3 is 48 ports. When reloading unit
2 the master reboots rarely.
DHCP Option 82: the device doesn’t recognize option 82 fields that refer to the device itself
(to the internal interface). Instead of getting an IP address, the device removes the option 82
field (which is actually correct) and then it transmits the traffic to the trusted ports.
MAC Support: Max 1K MAC Addresses can be configured as delete-on-timeout/reset.
Statistics: Received packets are not increased in the RMON statistics.

AT-S95 Version 2.0.0.27 Software Release Notes
Security (port lock): Port security mechanism is not triggered for MAC violation if MAC is
learned on another locked port as a secured MAC address.
Mac authentication - MAC auth. fails if the default of the radius server is not md5.
Recommended User Work around: Use md5 as default of the radius server.

Upgrade Procedure
This section describes how to upgrade the AT-S95 bootloader and software to the latest version
using both the CLI and web interfaces. See the following subsections:
“Upgrading the AT-S95 Bootloader Code and Software with the CLI” on page 4
“Upgrading the AT-S95 Bootloader and Software with the Web Browser Interface” on page 5
Allied Telesis strongly recommends that you upgrade your switch’s boot loader to the latest
version, version 2.0.0.1 before you perform this software upgrade. You can perform both
upgrades using either the command line or web interface.
