Release Notes v 1.0
Description
Hitless stacking is a high-availability feature set
that enables the Standby Controller to take
over the active role with sub-second or no loss
of data traffic during a hardware or software
failure.
OSPF graceful restart is a high-availability
routing feature that minimizes disruption in
traffic forwarding, diminishes route flapping,
and provides continuous service during a
system restart, switchover, or failover. During
such events, routes remain available between
devices.
BGP4 graceful restart is a high-availability
routing feature that minimizes disruption in
traffic forwarding, diminishes route flapping,
and provides continuous service during a
system restart, switchover, or failover. During
such events, routes remain available between
devices.
For FCX devices only, this release supports
private VLANs on tagged ports. Previous
releases support private VLANs on untagged
ports only.
You can use the show ip multicast vlan
command to display the querier information
for a VLAN. This command displays the VLAN
interface status and if there is any other
querier present with the lowest IP address.
When configuring virtual routing interfaces on
a device, you can now specify a number from 1
through 4095. However, the total number of
virtual routing interfaces that are configured
must not exceed the system-max limit of 512.
