paths between the switch and management station clients capable of SSHv1
operation.

centralized client authentication and accounting service.

Port-Based Access
Control (802.1X)
Release F.04.08 provides 802.1X port-access control for users requesting
access from multiple points within the network, including application of user
profiles configured on a central RADIUS server. Release F.05.17 updates this
feature to include Open VLAN mode, which changes how the port responds
when it detects a new client. For this reason you will find the documentation for
the Port-Access (802.1X) with Open VLAN mode under "Enhancements in
Release F.05.17" instead of in this section.
29
IP Preserve Enable retention of the current IP address and subnet mask (for the switch’s
default VLAN), and the default gateway address when downloading a configu-
ration file and rebooting the switch. (Operates on switches that use the Manual
IP addressing instead of the default DHCP method.)
129
QoS Priority Enable assignment of non-default priority settings to inbound, untagged packets
received on the switch.
132
Isolated Port Groups Provides an alternative to VLANs in situations where VLANs cannot be used.
Release F.05.17 updates this feature to include two new groups. For this reason
you will find the documentation for Isolated Port Groups under "Enhancements
in Release F.05.17" instead of in this section.
20
Terminating Remote Sessions Provides a "kill" command to terminate remote Telnet and SSH sessions. 136
Rapid Spanning-Tree (802.1W)
(RSTP)

software
