Summary of enhancements in release 02.7.01 (Continued)
Description
The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) provides
one of the most advanced encryption capabilities
available today. This release adds AES for SNMPv3
as specified in RFC 3826.
To enable AES encryption, specify the aes
encryption type when defining an SNMP user
account.
SSH v2, SCP, and HTTPS now supports a very strong
AES encryption algorithm in the following modes:
aes256-cbc, aes192-cbc, and aes128-cbc.
Summary of enhancements in release 02.7.00
Description
The SFP-compliant E1MG-TX fiber-optic module now
supports speeds of 10/100/1000.
In this release, after UDLD is enabled on a port,
UDLD can be configured to be kept in a newly
created suspended state until it receives its first
keep-alive message from the other end.
This release introduces a new hardware (module)
based Multicast/Broadcast/Unknown Unicast
Rate-Limiting for both CPU based flooding and
Hardware based flooding.
Beginning with release 02.7.00, Link Layer
Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is supported. This
protocol enables a station to advertise its
capabilities to, and to discover other LLDP-enabled
stations in the same 802.1AB LAN segments.
To globally enable MAC port security, the
global-port-security command has been added. The
port security command is now only used when
configuring MAC port security on specific interfaces.
