4. The Commander Switch (CS) now has the capability to automatically rediscover member switches that have left the SIM
group, either through a reboot or web malfunction. This feature is accomplished through the use of Discover packets and
Maintenance packets that previously set SIM members will emit after a reboot. Once a MS has had its MAC address and
password saved to the CS's database, if a reboot occurs in the MS, the CS will keep this MS information in its database
and when a MS has been rediscovered, it will add the MS back into the SIM tree automatically. No configuration will be
necessary to rediscover these switches.
There are some instances where pre-saved MS switches cannot be rediscovered. For example, if the Switch is still powered down,
if it has become the member of another group, or if it has been configured to be a Commander Switch, the rediscovery process
cannot occur.
2. The topology map now includes new features for connections that are a
member of a port trunking group. It will display the speed and number of Ethernet
connections creating this port trunk group, as shown in the adjacent picture.
5. This version will support switch upload and downloads for firmware, configuration files and log files, as follows:
•
Firmware – The switch now supports MS firmware downloads from a TFTP server.
•
Configuration Files – This switch now supports downloading and uploading of configuration files both to (for
configuration restoration) and from (for configuration backup) MS's, using a TFTP server.
•
Log – The Switch now supports uploading MS log files to a TFTP server.
6. The user may zoom in and zoom out when utilizing the topology window to get a better, more defined view of the
configurations.

Description
Use the drop-down menu to either enable or disable the SIM state on the Switch. Disabled will
render all SIM functions on the Switch inoperable.
Use the drop-down menu to either enable or disable a trap. This is designed to control the
sending of traps issued from a member switch.
Use the drop-down menu to change the SIM role of the Switch. The two choices are:
Candidate – A Candidate Switch (CaS) is not the member of a SIM group but is connected to
a Commander Switch. This is the default setting for the SIM role of the Switch.
Commander – Choosing this parameter will make the Switch a Commander Switch (CS). The
