Nortel 5000 Series Release Notes page 13

This functionality is only available on the Ethernet Routing Switch 5600
Series hardware. A maximum of 4 port mirroring instances can be
configured based on some rules. A Hybrid stack supports only one
port-mirroring instance (the default instance) as in Ethernet Routing Switch
5500 Series.
In a pure Ethernet Routing Switch 5600 Series hardware stack with stack
oper-mode configured to hybrid only one port-mirroring instance is available.
This rule is not applicable to standalone because stack oper-mode mode
is valid only on stack. So on a Ethernet Routing Switch 5600 standalone
with stack oper-mode configured as hybrid all 4 port mirroring instances
will be allowed.
All existing traffic identification modes for mirroring are supported. You can
configure many-to-many port mirroring with Web-based management.
Device Manager does not support Port Mirroring.
MIB and Trap Web pages
A new Web page allows you to selectively configure traps and trap receivers.
The page follows the standard web design conventions and has each trap
and trap receiver listed. The Web page allows you to enter additional trap
receivers and modify existing ones. The Web page lists all available traps
and allows you to selectively enable or disable each one.
The new MIB Web Page application offers a way to access the SNMP MIB
objects for each unit from Web-based management, with the help of the
Get, Get-Next and Walk buttons.
NSNA enhancements
Release 6.0 supports Fail Open and VLAN Change Based on MAC
Authentication.
ASCII download log enhancements
The ASCII Download Log feature logs messages that describe the result of
the ASCII Configuration File download, especially the failed commands, as
informational customer messages.
Combination image
The Combination (Combo) Agent Image contains the header of the image
and two agent images, a 56xx agent image and a 55xx agent image.
Ethernet Routing Switch 5500 software releases before release 6.0 do not
support the Combo image.
A stand-alone unit or a stack that uses the Ethernet Routing Switch 5000
Series Software Release 6.0 can download a combo image.
