RELEASE NOTES
Linksys One Ready Communications Solution
1 February 2007
Configuration File Download and Upload
The device configuration is stored in a configuration file. The Configuration file includes both system
wide and port specific device configuration. The system can display configuration files in the form of a
collection of CLI commands, which are stored and manipulated as text files.
TFTP Trivial File Transfer Protocol
The device supports boot image, software and configuration upload/download via TFTP.
Remote Monitoring
Remote Monitoring (RMON) is an extension to SNMP, which provides comprehensive network traffic
monitoring capabilities (as opposed to SNMP which allows network device management and
monitoring). RMON is a standard MIB that defines current and historical MAC-layer statistics and
control objects, allowing real-time information to be captured across the entire network.
Menu based Command Line Interface
Menu based Command Line Interface (CLI) syntax and semantics conform. CLI is composed of
mandatory and optional elements.
Syslog
Syslog is a protocol that enables event notifications to be sent to a set of remote servers, where they can
be stored, examined, and acted upon. The system sends notifications of significant events in real time,
and keeps a record of these events for after-the-fact usage.
SNTP
The Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) assures accurate network Ethernet Switch clock time
synchronization up to the millisecond. Time synchronization is performed by a network SNTP server.
Time sources are established by Stratums. Stratums define the distance from the reference clock.
Traceroute
Traceroute discovers IP routes that packets were forwarded along during the forwarding process. The
CLI Traceroute utility can be executed from either the user-exec or privileged modes.
Security Features
SSL
Secure Socket Layer (SSL) is an application-level protocol that enables secure transactions of data
through privacy, authentication, and data integrity. It relies upon certificates and public and private keys.
Port Based Authentication (802.1x)
Port based authentication enables authenticating system users on a per-port basis via an external server.
Only authenticated and approved system users can transmit and receive data. Ports are authenticated via
the Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS) server using the Extensible Authentication
Protocol (EAP).
