Note

The new MODULE parameter can only be used on stacks that
already have Version 4.0.0 or later. To update member switches that
have versions earlier than 4.0.0, you have to disconnect them from
the stack and update them as stand-alone units.

The 802.1x port-based network access control feature is now fully
compliant with the following:

— Microsoft Network Access Protocol on Windows Server

2008, Windows Vista, and Windows XP Service Pack 3

— Symantec Network Access Control

The commands used to control the MAC address table have a new
MODULE parameter that lets you manage the MAC address tables on
the individual switches of a stack.

Switches assigned static ID numbers continue to use stack
configuration files even when the stack stops operating and the
switches revert to stand-alone units. This feature enables the switches
to retain their stack configuration settings as stand-alone units, which
may lessen the impact to network operations if the stack encounters a
problem.

Version 3.2.0

This release added support for these features in AT-9400Ts Stacks:

Remote web browser management

Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) trunks

Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) snooping

Internet Protocol Version 4 packet routing with static routes (Stacks do
not support the Routing Information Protocol (RIP) or multipath
routing.)

Basic 802.1x port-based network access control (Stacks do not
support MAC address-based authentication, Guest VLANs, or
supplicant and VLAN associations.)

For a complete list of the features supported in a stack, refer to the
Software Release Notes for the AT-S63 Version 3.2.0 Management
Software or to the AT-S63 Stack Command Line User’s Guide.

Version 3.2.0 did not include any new features for stand-alone AT-9400
Switches.
