Wireless Switch 8xx0 Release
Firmware Version
6.0.4.4
October 17, 2007
INTRODUCTION:
The RBT-8xx0 family of wireless switches include the following: 1) the RBT-8100 and RBT-8110, which have the
ability to control up to 24 access points; 2) the RBT-8200 and RBT-8210, which have the ability to control
24/48/72 access points; and 3) the RBT-8400, which has the ability to control 40/80/120 access points. The
RoamAbout Switch Manager (RASM) can manage all of these devices.
The 6.0.4.4 Firmware release addresses firmware modifications and customer escalations (refer to the
Firmware
and Enhancements
section).
Enterasys recommends that you thoroughly review this document prior to installing or upgrading this product.
NOTE: Enabling Direct Path Forwarding (also known as local switching) for a given AP affects the
number of ACEs that can be applied within a single ACL policy to a user connecting to that AP.
When local switching is enabled on an AP in version 6.0.4.4 of RBT switch firmware, up to 16
ACEs in an ACL policy can be applied to a user of that AP. In a future release of the firmware, the
number of available ACEs per ACL policy will increase to approximately 25. For more information,
see the
Known Restrictions and Limitations
section of these release notes.
NOTE: At the time of this release, there is an open LED issue with the RBT-82x0 switches, where ports 1 and 2
could show an incorrect connection status after a device reboot when there are no cables attached.
This does not affect the performance for ports in any way, and will be resolved in a future release.
NOTE: The 5.0.9.2 RoamAbout Wireless Switch Firmware, and future released firmware, support the RBT-8210,
the new small form factor switch that replaces the larger RBT-8200. The RBT-8210 uses the RBT-8200
firmware and commands. The RBT-8210 prompt is displayed as RBT-8200.
NOTE: If you are using a 4.x firmware image/software, Enterasys recommends that you upgrade the
RoamAbout Switch Manager (RASM) to firmware version 5.0.12.2 BEFORE upgrading your RBT-8xx0
wireless switches to firmware version 5.0.12.2.
NOTE: If you are upgrading a pre-existing RBT-4102 or RBT-4102-EU model Access Point from 4.1.4 or earlier,
please read the instructions listed in the
Firmware Release 4.1.5.0
section of the
Firmware Changes
and Enhancements
section of the RoamAbout Switch Manager (RASM) 6.0.4.4 Release Notes.
