Changes and Enhancements in 3.01.52 

A problem existed in previous versions, under extremely high traffic load the stack manager could become 
isolated from the stack causing a second manager to become elected. This has been resolved. 
The master will now correctly prioritize and process STP packets under extremely high traffic loads. In earlier 
versions this had occasionally resulted in a reset and a new master being selected.  
In previous versions, a LAG port could experience instability under extremely high traffic rates. This has been 
resolved.  
In rare situations an issue has been seen which would cause ports which were using MAC authentication to lock 
up and cease passing traffic. This issue has been resolved with this release. 

 

Changes and Enhancements in 3.01.45 

Support for ToS Rewrite has been added to the platform. The feature can be configured via CLI, MIBs, or policy 
manager. 
Pressing the reset button will now clear the configured boot menu password as well as the configured login 
passwords. 
If a user removes the transmit link of an SFP fiber connection and then removes receive link of the fiber 
connection, the LED on the device will now correctly show the link as down. 
The ―show config‖ command now supports the option to display only specific functionalities configured on the 
device, i.e., ―show config policy‖. 
Support has been added to allow a user to configure the maximum number of node/alias entries which will be 
learn per port. The default setting is 32. 
An issue which prevented a user from loading a file onto the C2 from the current directory of some Linux UNIX 
machines has been resolved. 
A problem existed with policy whereby rules set against a TCP port would also be enforced against the same 
UDP port and vice versa. The issue has been resolved with this release so only packets matching the specific 
criteria specified will be affected by the rule. 
If a user creates a port mirror and then deletes the port mirror, this will no longer cause the device to reset. 
Numerous enhancements to MAC authentication have been added to make the feature more resilient. 

 

Changes and Enhancements in 3.01.20 

Support for the C2G124-24 unit with 24 gig SFP ports. 
This image enables the use of shared rules and masks on FE ports. A single group of 8 FE ports can share up to 
the total limit supported for a stack of 100 unique rules and 18 masks. Any single FE port cannot use more than 
100 rules or 10 masks. Any policy set that exceeds these limits for a role will be rejected. Any stack which 
contains FE ports will be subject the combined role limitations of 100 unique rules and 18 unique masks.

 

If a user attempts to apply a policy which will cause the stack to exceed the policy limits, the set will fail. The 
rules which exceeded the limit will fail, an error indication will be printed to the CLI, and Policy Manager will be 
sent an error via SNMP. 

 

SNMPv3 users and groups can now be created without being required to execute the nonvolatile option. 
An issue has been resolved which could cause the device to reset if a user executed a ―clear SNMP view‖ 
command.

 

The SSH version on the device is now compliant with SSHv2. 

 

The ―clear policy port‖ command will now correctly remove a port from a configured policy.  
The command ―set system password length‖ will now execute correctly when entered via the CLI or loaded from 
a saved configuration file.  
An issue has been resolved which prevented Policy Manager or a Console FlexView from correctly reading the 
RADIUS Server MIB.

 

The PWA port-

control commands are now correctly displayed in the ―show config‖ output. This will allow these 

settings to be correctly programmed when loading a saved configuration onto the device.

 

If the user attempts to TFTP the current.log file, the C2 stack will now gather the current.log files from all 
members of a stack and send a single composite ―current.log‖ to the TFTP server.
