The software is available in two versions:

s3201_02.bin — Provides normal levels of 
encryption with keys of up to 56 bits in length.

s3201_02s.bin — Provides higher levels of 
encryption including 168-bit 3DES and 
256-bit AES.

The Switch ships with software providing normal 
levels of encryption.

Errors and Omissions

The 

system console speed

 command is 

available on the unit but has been omitted from the 

SuperStack 3 Switch 3226 and Switch 3250 

Management Quick Reference Guide”

 and the 

SuperStack 3 Switch 3226 and Switch 3250 

Management Interface Reference Guide

”.

To change the speed of the console port:

1

Enter 

system console speed

 from the top-level 

menu of the Command Line Interface. 

2

Enter the speed at which you want to set the console

SuperStack 3 Switch 3226 and Switch 3250 Getting 
Started Guide

Pages 15 and 16 contain the following statement:

“The console port uses a standard null modem 
cable and is set to auto-baud, 8 data bits, no parity 
and 1 stop bit.”

This is incorrect. It should read:

“The console port uses a standard null modem 
cable and is set to 19200 baud, 8 data bits, no 
parity and 1 stop bit.”

If you change the speed, make a note of the new 
setting. If you cannot connect using the console port 
and do not know the speed at which it is set, connect 
using a network port and enter the

 

system console speed

 command to check the 

speed of the console port.

Enhancements and Fixes for Known Faults

strings such as the unit location or VLAN name. 
Characters such as those used for accented letters in 
non-English languages are rejected. In previous 
firmware these characters where rejected with a
