AT-9400 Stacks
Here are the new and enhanced features in AT-S63 Management
Software for AT-9400 Stacks:
ˆ BOOTP/DHCP Relay Agent
ˆ Access Control Lists
ˆ Quality of Service policies
ˆ IPv4 static routes
ˆ Encrypted remote web browser management sessions with the
Secure Sockets Layer protocol and the Public Key Infrastructure
protocol
ˆ Encrypted remote Secure Shell protocol management sessions
ˆ AlliedWare Plus Command Line Interface.
ˆ Stacks now support up to three manager sessions at one time. To
adjust this feature, which has a default setting of one manager
session, use the SET SYSTEM command.
ˆ The LOAD command in the standard command line interface has a
new parameter that will make it easier to update the switches in an
AT-9400Ts Stack with future releases of the AT-S63 Management
Software. In previous versions, you had to disassemble a stack and
update the switches individually. But with the new MODULE
parameter, you’ll be able to update the management software on all
the switches in a stack simultaneously.
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.
ˆ 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
ˆ 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.
ˆ 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
