What’s New in Version 2.1.2
The new VLAN stacking feature allows metro Ethernet networks to tag packets with unique
802.1Q headers to create encapsulated connections through the core, for multiple customer
edge VLANs.
The web browser interface has been significantly enhanced to allow for more system
monitoring and control.
The command line interface has been enhanced to conform to the Allied Telesis CLI
standard.
The BANNER EXEC, BANNER MOTD, and BANNER LOGIN commands now support
messages with carriage returns.
You may now use the Telnet client from local and Telnet management sessions, whereas
before you could only use it from local management sessions.
The switch now supports digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM) for those SFP modules that
support it. The messages are entered in the event log.
Port descriptions now support up to 80 characters.
Introduction to Upgrading the Switch
You should determine the current version of the management software on the switch before
updating it. The current management software will determine the appropriate upgrade process:
If the switch has the AT-S100 Management Software, refer to the AlliedWare Plus Version
2.1.1 Software Release Notes for the upgrade instructions. You may update the unit directly
to AlliedWare Plus version 2.1.2 from the AT-S100 Management Software, and skip
AlliedWare Plus version 2.1.1.
If the switch already has AlliedWare Plus, you may upgrade it to version 2.1.2 using either the
command line interface or web browser interface. These software release notes contain the
procedure for updating the management software using the command line interface. If you
want to use the web browser interface, refer to the AlliedWare Plus Web Browser User’s
Guide.
