Release Notes: MNS-BB Release 1.3 (02/22/05) Software (general) The MNS-BB software is modular software. The software modules (or applications) are segmented according to the type of functionality they provide. Each module has specific tasks to provide and clearly defined interfaces with other modules based on the overall system/functional requirements. Download Location The LE2425A / LEV2525A MNS-BB Release 1.3 is available on the Black Box FTP site. FTP Site: ftp://ftp.bbfibsw.com or ftp://blackbox:[email protected] or ftp.bbfibsw.com Username: blackbox Password: le2425a Path: /MNS-BB Filename: LE_Rel1.3bin New Modules and Features (Since Rel 1.2) SNMPv3 Simple Network Management Protocol Version 3 (SNMPv3) is an interoperable standards-based protocol for network management. SNMPv3 provides secure access to devices by a combination of authenticating and encrypting packets over the network. SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) SMTP is used to send email alerts whenever there is an Event or an SNMP trap generated inside the switch system. Secure Web Management MNS-BB provides a new embedded HTTP Web agent with this Release. Using industry standard web browsers, users can configure, view statistics, monitor and manage LE2425A and LEV2525A Switches. From your browser, use your Switch IP address to access the MNS-BB management software, which functions as a GUI-based interface. e.g., http://192.168.1.10. SSL/TLS Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) enables the embedded web server of the switch to handle secure HTTP (HTTPS). While these security features of web management may be turned off by the user, the default setting for MNS-BB is ON. 802.1x (Radius Authentication) The IEEE 802.1x standard, Port Based Network Access Control, defines a mechanism for port-based network access control that makes use of the physical access characteristics of IEEE 802 LAN infrastructure. It provides a means of authenticating and authorizing devices attached to LAN ports that have point-to-point connection characteristics. It also prevents access to that port in cases where the authentication and authorization fails. TACACS+ TACACS+, short for Terminal Access Controller Access Control System, protocol provides access control for routers, network access servers and other networked computing devices via one or more centralized servers. TACACS+ provides separate authentication, authorization and accounting services. Enhancements (Since Rel 1.2) Port Security Enhancement Now 200 MAC addresses can be learned per port (Was 25 per port) and 500 MAC addresses per switch. VLAN Enhancement Default VLAN is editable now. Users can edit the VLAN Name and Ports of the Default VLAN. Back Pressure and Flow Control User can enable or disable the Back Pressure and Flow Control per port basis using ‘setport’ command. Soft Switching between STP and RSTP There is no need to reboot the switch while switching from STP to RSTP or vice versa now. Serial (Console) Driver Enhancements Facility to change Console Parameters viz. baud rate, data, parity, stop and flow control with in MNS-BB (Be careful not to cut yourself off by changing parameters of the port you are on). New CLI Commands under ‘ACCESS’ module remove - removes a specific entry removeall - removes all entries thus allowing all to access. New CLI Commands under ‘Tag VLAN’ module Two new commands viz. set-port and show-port are available under TAG VLAN in place of setingress, set-egress, show-ingress and show-egress commands. These commands are deprecated and still available. Enhanced Upgrade Command Upgrade command has now optional parameters for username and password. Updated Bitview New Bitview supports LEV2525A and New features as well. Bug Fixes Tagged VLAN: Multicast over Tagged VLAN is fixed. STP: When user selectively disables STP per port, STP is erratic. This is fixed. IGMP fix for Giga. RSTP: Bridge Priority is editable. Recorded time-delay fix in Event Log if SNTP is enabled. Multicast protection for Port VLAN. SNTP vs. Win2003 Fix. Port name editing through SNMP client is possible. Better MAC Address table handling, faster clearing and better reporting to SNMP. Port VLAN bleeding while rebooting Fix. SNMPv1 and v3 data is storing separately now. Active VLANs are editable now.
