New Features and Enhancements

The software version includes all the new features that have been added to AlliedWare Plus since the release of 5.4.2-0.1. This includes all features that were released in 5.4.2 minor releases.
This section summarizes the key new features. For a list of all new and enhanced features and commands, see “Changes in this Version” on page 10. For more information about all features on the switch, see the Software Reference for your switch. Unless otherwise stated, all new features and enhancements are available on all switch models running this version of AlliedWare Plus.
IPv6 Enhancements
PIM-SMv6
Software version 5.4.3 adds support for Protocol Independent Multicast - Sparse Mode for IPv6. PIM-SMv6 provides efficient communication between members of sparsely distributed groups in PIM-SM IPv6 networks.
MLD
Software version 5.4.3 expands the Alliedware plus support for Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD). MLD is the IPv6 equivalent of the Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) for IPv4. It is used by IPv6 routers to discover the presence of multicast listeners on their directly attached links and to discover which multicast addresses are of interest to those listeners. This ensures that multicast traffic is forwarded as efficiently as possible, conserving network bandwidth.
AlliedWare Plus now supports both MLDv1 and MLDv2. Previous releases supported MLD Snooping functionality. This release now supports MLDv2 Querier functionality.
Static IPv6 Multicast Routes
Software version 5.4.3 adds the ability to create static IPv6 multicast forwarding entries. Rather than relying on a dynamic multicast routing protocol like PIM to set up L3 multicast entries, it is possible to create the entries statically. Static IPv6 Multicasting has been added as a base license feature for AlliedWare Plus version 5.4.3.
DHCPv6
Software version 5.4.3 adds support for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCPv6), which is a protocol used to dynamically assign IPv6 addresses to hosts from a central location. Acting as DHCPv6 client enables the switch to receive an IPv6 address, and acting as server enables the switch to dynamically allocate IPv6 addresses to hosts. The DHCPv6 server and client both support the Prefix Delegation feature which allocates a whole IPv6 subnet to a DHCP client. The client, in turn, can allocate addresses from this subnet to the hosts that are connected to it.
OSPFv3 Authentication/Confidentiality
Software version 5.4.3 adds support for OSPFv3 authentication and confidentiality, which enable the secure sharing of routing information by encrypting OSPFv3 messages.
VRRPv3
Software version 5.4.3 adds support for Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol for IPv6 networks, by implementing VRRPv3. VRRPv3 is a protocol for providing device redundancy, for connecting redundant WAN gateway routers or server access switches. It allows a backup router or switch to automatically take over if the primary (master) router or switch fails.

Page 8
IPv6 Licensing
As IPv6 functionality has become more of a necessity in modern networks, Allied Telesis has increased our support by including a number of IPv6 features as standard (additional advanced IPv6 features are available via a software license).
The IPv6 features included as standard on Allied Telesis switches are:
■ IPv6 unicast traffic forwarding
■ Telnet, Ping, Traceroute for IPv6
■ SSHv6
■ SNMPv6
■ IPv6 static routes
■ DHCPv6 relay
■ NTPv6
■ RA Guard
■ DNSv6
■ SLAAC
■ IPv6 static multicast routes
Stacking Enhancements
Software version 5.4.3 fully supports the maximum number of ports available on 8 unit VCStack x610 solutions (384 ports). This has increased from 208 ports previously. Configuration restrictions imposed by previous releases are now removed.
Note: Mixed-mode stacking between x610 and x600 series switches is not supported because Software version 5.4.3 does not support x600 switches.
Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) Support
Software version 5.4.3 adds support for IEEE 802.3az EEE which is a specification for lowering power consumption of Ethernet PHYs during periods of low link utilisation. If no data is being sent, the PHY can either slow down the link speed or it can enter a sleep state, called Low Power Idle (LPI), to save power.
Find Me
Software version 5.4.3 adds support for “Find Me”. In busy server rooms comprising of a large number of equipment racks, it can be quite a job finding the correct switch quickly among many similar units. The ‘Find Me” feature is a simple visual way to quickly identify the desired physical switch for maintenance or other purposes, by causing its LEDs to flash in a specified pattern.

Important Considerations Before Upgrading to this Version

Please note the following information that may affect you if you are upgrading to Software version 5.4.3 from an earlier version:
■ Software version 5.4.3 does not support x600 series switches.
■ Software version 5.4.3 does not support mixed-mode stacking between x610 series
switches and x600 series switches, because all switches in the stack must run the same software version.
Software version 5.4.2 is the latest version you can run on a mixed mode stack.

Description
Alliedware Plus supports Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCPv6) which is a
protocol used to dynamically assign IPv6 addresses to hosts from a central location. Acting as a DHCPv6 client enables the switch to receive an IPv6 address, and acting as server enables the switch to dynamically allocate IPv6 addresses to hosts. The DHCPv6 server and client both support the Prefix Delegation feature which allocates a whole IPv6 subnet to a DHCP client. The client, in turn can allocate addresses from this subnet to the hosts that are connected to it.
You can now conserve power by enabling the eco-friendly LPI (Low Power Idle) feature either by entering the ecofriendly lpi command or by pressing the eco-friendly button on the front panel. This feature reduces the power supplied to the ports by the switch whenever the ports are idle and are connected to IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet compliant host devices.
The Find Me feature enables you to physically locate a specific device from a group of similar devices.
AlliedWare Plus supports Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD and MLDv2). MLD is defined in RFC2710. MLDv2 is defined in RFC 3810. MLD for IPv6 is used to exchange membership status information between hosts and routers that support multicasting.
AlliedWare Plus supports Open Shortest Path First (OSPFv3) Authentication as specified in RFC4552. Message Digest Algorithm 5 (MD5) and Secure Hash Algorithm 1 (SHA-1) Authentication algorithms are supported in the AlliedWare Plus implementation of OSPFv3 Authentication. Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) and Triple Data Encryption Standard (3DES) Encryption algorithms are supported.
Protocol Independent Multicast - Sparse Mode for IPv6 (PIM-SMv6) provides efficient
communication between members of sparsely distributed groups.

Installing the GUI

This section describes how to install and set up the AlliedWare Plus GUI using an SD card, a USB storage device, or a TFTP server. The version number in the GUI Java applet filename (.jar) gives the earliest version of the software file (.rel) that the GUI can operate with.
To install and run the AlliedWare Plus GUI requires the following system products and setup:
■ PC Platform:
Windows XP SP2 and up / Windows Vista SP1 and up
■ Browser: (must support Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 6)
Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0 and up / Mozilla Firefox 2.0 and up
To install the GUI on your switch, use the following steps:
1. Copy to the GUI Java applet file (.jar extension) onto your TFTP server, SD card or USB storage device.
2. Connect to the switch’s management port, then log into the switch.
3. If necessary, delete or move files to create space in the switch’s Flash memory for the new file.
To see the memory usage, use the command:
awplus# show file systems
To list files, use the command:
awplus# dir
To delete files, use the command:
awplus# del <filename>
You cannot delete the current boot file.
4. Assign an IP address for connecting to the GUI. Use the commands:
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# interface vlan1
awplus(config-if)#ip address <address>/<prefix-length>
Where <address> is the IP address that you will subsequently browse to when you connect to the GUI Java applet. For example, to give the switch an IP address of
192.168.2.6, with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, use the command:
awplus(config-if)# ip address 192.168.2.6/24
5. If required, configure a default gateway for the switch.
awplus(config-if)# exit
awplus(config)# ip route 0.0.0.0/0 <gateway-address>
Where <gateway-address> is the IP address for your gateway device. You do not need to define a default gateway if you browse to the switch from within its own subnet.

6. Copy the GUI file onto your switch from the TFTP server, SD card, or USB storage device.
TFTP server: Use the command:
awplus# copy tftp://<server-address>/<filename.jar> flash:/
SD card: use the command:
awplus# copy card:/<filename.jar> flash:/
USB storage device: use the command:
awplus# copy usb:/<filename.jar> flash:/
where <server-address> is the IP address of the TFTP server, and where <filename.jar> is the filename of the GUI Java applet.
7. Ensure the HTTP service is enabled on your switch. Use the commands:
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# service http
The HTTP service needs to be enabled on the switch before it accepts connections from a web browser. The HTTP service is enabled by default. However, if the HTTP has been disabled then you must enable the HTTP service again.
8. Create a user account for logging into the GUI.
awplus(config)# username <username> privilege 15 password
<password>
You can create multiple users to log into the GUI. For information about the username command, see the AlliedWare Plus Software Reference.
9. Log into the GUI.
Start a browser and enter the switch’s IP address. The GUI starts up and displays a login screen. Log in with the username and password specified in the previous step.
