Software Release 5.1.1.1

Software Release 5.1.1.1
1. Release Summary
Release Date: October 2009
Purpose: Software maintenance release to address software issues found both in the field and internally.
2. Important Notes before Upgrading to This Release
If upgrading to 5.1.1.1 code within any SMLT designed network from a release prior to 4.1.8.2 or 5.0.1.0, i.e. a
release which runs the 'older' SMLT architecture, then care should be taken to follow the proper upgrade steps.
Please review the 4.1.8.2 Readme or 5.0.1.0 RN for specific details.
REGARDLESS OF SOFTWARE VERSION, the system-monitor flag should be checked on all systems to be
sure it is enabled. This flag should always be enabled. The flag setting can be checked via the command,
show config. The display should be something like:
ERS8600:6# show config
Preparing to Display Configuration...
#!flags m‐mode false
#!flags enhanced‐operational‐mode false
#!flags vlan‐optimization‐mode false
#!flags global‐filter‐ordering false
#!flags r‐mode true
#!resource‐reservation max‐vlan false
#!resource‐reservation multicast 2048
#!flags multicast‐check‐packet true
#!flags system‐monitor true (enabled) or potentially false (disabled)
#!flags regular‐Autoneg false
#!record‐reservation filter 4096
If the system-monitor flag is set false, then it should be changed to true (requires a reboot to take affect), which
can only be accomplished by JDM, Edit Chassis -> System Flags and then look under "System Monitoring" at
the bottom of the screen. Checked equals enabled. To set via SNMP use:
MIB is . .
