Description
By default, the software now encrypts the MD5 authentication
strings associated with BGP4 neighbors and neighbor peer
groups.
Description
You can limit the number of ARP packets the Foundry device
receives each second.
A new CLI command, interface link-hold-down, lets you
specify a number of milliseconds you want the software to wait
before bringing up a specific port following a software reload.
Enter this command at the global CONFIG level of the CLI.
Note: This enhancement applies only to Layer 3 Switches.
The show process cpu command shows the percentage of
CPU processing that each protocol has used since startup and
had used at various time intervals.
The show span detail command displays detailed STP
information for each port on the device.
The show vlan command orders the display of VLANs
according to VLAN ID. In previous software releases, the
command displayed the VLANs according to the order in which
they were configured.
Changes to a Layer 2 Switch's IP multicast traffic reduction
feature do not require a software reload. You can set or
change any of the configurable parameters and the change
takes effect immediately.
You can display IGMP traffic statistics for VLANs, clear traffic
statistics, and display and clear IGMP report statistics on an
individual multicast group basis.
You can change the size of the data blocks the software uses
when you use TFTP to transfer a file to or from the Foundry
device.
You can disable the message that the Foundry device sends to
a Telnet client that is denied access to the device.
