Version A.15

MSTP Standards Compliant Based MIB

Enhancement (PR_0000060335, CR_0000070269) - This enhancement implements full compliance with the IEEE
■
standard for the SNMP MIB object ieee8021MstpMib. For more information, see the "Multiple Instance Spanning-Tree
Operation" chapter in the Advanced Traffic Management Guide for your switch.

Reporting Config Changes

■ Enhancement (PR_0000069196, CR_0000074531) - This feature provides the ability to track and report
information about switch management processes on a per-user, per-session basis. Syslog or RADIUS will be used for
logging the information.

Flight Data Recorder Log

Enhancement (PR_0000071572) - Flight Data Recorder (FDR) logs information that is "interesting" at the time of
■
the crash as well as when the switch is misbehaving, but not crashed. The crash-log and crash-data files now maintain
data for the last 4 crashes instead of just the most recent. For more information about this feature, see the "File
Transfers" and "Troubleshooting" appendices in the Management and Configuration Guide for your switch.

MAC Limit Notify

■ Enhancement (PR_0000073085, CR_0000077875) - The MAC Address Count feature provides a way to notify the
switch management system when the number of MAC addresses learned on a switch port exceeds the permitted
configurable number.

Version A.15.09.0003

Terminal Line Width and Length

■ Enhancement (CR_0000074537) - For console/serial link and inbound telnet sessions, the switch output:
• Uses whatever width is set by the terminal program. If width is not specified, 80 characters is the default.
• Automatically wraps on word boundaries (such as spaces) for non-columnar output
• Automatically wraps on column boundaries for columnar output
HP recommends that you do not set your terminal width (terminal width <y>) above 150 columns.

MSTP Standards Compliant Based MIB (part 2)

Enhancement (CR_0000105360) - This enhancement is a follow-on to PR_0000060335, which implements full
■
compliance with the IEEE standard for the SNMP MIB object ieee8021MstpMib. This CR_0000105360 adds Single
Instance STP information to the MIB.
