Summary of enhancements in release 02.5.00 (Continued)
Description
Release 02.5.00 introduces the BigIron RX-32
device which runs the same Multi-Service IronWare
software as other devices in the BigIron RX series.
The new BigIron RX-32 device provide support for
up to 32 interface modules.
The software images required for operating the
BigIron RX switch remain the same however,
beginning with version 02.5.00 of the Multi-Service
IronWare software, the upgrading procedures have
been changed. The new procedure is described in
the Release Notes for BigIron RX – Multi-Service
IronWare Software Release 02.5.00.
Beginning with release 02.5.00 of the Multi-Service
IronWare software, remote SDS is supported. This
feature will dramatically improve the ability to
troubleshoot issues on the line-card without the
need of a serial cable.
In Release 02.5.00 of the Multi-Service IronWare
software, static ARP has been enhanced to support
the ability to create a static ARP entry without an
outgoing interface.
Beginning with release 02.5.00, you can configure
the BigIron RX to perform validation checks on the
destination MAC address, the sender and target IP
addresses, and the source MAC address.
In Release 02.5.00, the multicast hardware device
drivers have been enhanced to optimize utilization
and improve overall performance.
Starting release 02.5.00, low priority multicast
traffic is rate-limited to 1.8 Gbps per packet
processor.
