Hardware Platforms
Software Release 2.3.1 is available for the following hardware platforms:
■
AR300 Series Routers
■
AR700 Series Routers
■
AR800 Series Modular Switching Routers
■
Rapier Series Layer 3 Switches
Software Release 2.3.1 will support the Rapier i Series hardware platforms as
they become available (“Rapier i Series” on page 2).
For existing models with Network Service Module (NSM) bays, Software
Release 2.3.1 supports hot swapping of NSMs, and some PICs in those NSMs,
so that they can be installed and uninstalled without the need to power down
the entire router or switch (“Hot Swapping Network Service Modules” on page 3).
Rapier i Series
The Rapier i Series layer 3 switches will provide all the features of the original
Rapier series. While the first software release on these hardware models will
provide the same features as the original Rapier Series (plus bandwidth
limiting), the hardware on the Rapier i Series layer 3 switches will allow later
software releases to provide enhanced Virtual LAN and Quality of Service
features.
