Summary of enhancements in release 02.4.00
Description
The new Daylight Saving Time (DST) change that
went into effect on March 11th, 2007 affects only
networks following the US time zones. However, to
trigger the device to the correct time, the device
must be configured to the US time zone, not the
GMT offset.
Using the show boot-image command displays
which image the device will use for the next reboot
or reload.
The image_checksum command will allow the user
to verify the checksum of a image.
A private VLAN is a VLAN that has the properties of
standard Layer 2 port-based VLANs but also
provides additional control over flooding packets on
a VLAN.
In Metro Ring Protocol (MRP) Phase 2, the same
physical interface can be shared by multiple rings
belonging to the same VLAN.
Outbound rate limiting support has been added to
this release.
The system max value for ip-static-arp can be
configured to values up to 16,384 beginning with
version 02.4.00 of the device Multi-Service
IronWare software.
The OSPF ABR Type 3 LSA Filtering feature extends
the ability of an ABR that is running the OSPF
protocol to filter type 3 link-state advertisements
(LSAs) that are sent between different OSPF areas.
