Minor improvements
The DHCP server is now able to successfully allocate addresses to
Macintosh devices running Open Transport version 2.5.1 and 2.5.2.
To increase switch security, the INFILTERING parameter of the SET
SWITCH PORT command now defaults to ON.
The INFILTERING parameter enables or disables Ingress Filtering of frames
admitted according to the ACCEPTABLE parameter, on the specified ports.
Each port on the switch belongs to one or more VLANs. If INFILTERING is
set to ON, Ingress Filtering is enabled: any frame received on a specified
port is only admitted if the port belongs to the VLAN with which the frame
is associated. Conversely, any frame received on the port is discarded if the
port does not belong to the VLAN with which the frame is associated.
Untagged frames admitted by the ACCEPTABLE parameter are admitted,
since they have the numerical VLAN Identifier (VID) of the VLAN for
which the port in an untagged member. If OFF is specified, Ingress Filtering
is disabled, and no frames are discarded by this part of the Ingress Rules.
This change does not apply to AR300 or AR700 Series routers.
