Summary of enhancements in release 02.6.00 (Continued)
Description
Non-Brocade or non-VSRP aware devices
connected to a VSRP master can now quickly switch
over to the new master when a VSRP failover
occurs.
Beginning with release 02.6.00 of the Multi-Service
IronWare software, all trunking and link aggegation
configuration has been revamped and placed under
a single interface. This new interface allows you to
configure either of the previously supported LAG
types: Static LAGs and Dynamic LAGs as well as the
new "Keep Alive" LAGs.
The new LAG configuration procedures supersede
the previous configurations procedures for Trunks
and Dynamic Link Aggregation.
Beginning with release 02.6.00, you can define
multicast boundaries on a per VLAN basis.
In Release 02.6.00 of the Multi-Service IronWare
software, the BigIron RX supports IPv6 Protocol
Independent Multicast (PIM) Sparse. IPv6 PIM
Sparse provides multicasting that is especially
suitable for widely distributed multicast
environments
This release supports Embedded RP which allows
the switch to learn RP information using the
multicast group destination address instead of the
statically configured RP.
PIM SM traffic snooping eliminates the superfluous
traffic by configuring the device to forward IP
multicast group traffic only on the ports that are
attached to receivers for the group
Release 02.6.00 adds support for MLD Snooping
(MLDv1 and MLDv2) on Brocade BigIron RXdevices
running IPv6.
