New Software Supported

page 10 OmniSwitch 6600/7000/8800—Release 5.1.6.R02

Improved Spanning Tree Support for High Availability VLANs

High Availability (HA) VLANs now run on inter switch links in conjunction with spanning tree. All span-

ning tree modes and protocols are supported (flat, 1x1, 802.1d, 802.1w, and 802.1s).

IPv6

IPv6 (documented in RFC 2460) is designed as a successor to IPv4. The changes from IPv4 to IPv6 fall

primarily into the following categories:

• Address size increased from 32 bits (IPv4) to 128 bits (IPv6)

• Dual Stack IPv4/IPv6

• ICMPv6

• Neighbor Discovery

• Stateless Autoconfiguration

• RIPng

• Static Routes

• Tunneling: Configured and 6-to-4 dynamic tunneling

• Ping, traceroute

• FTP and Telnet servers

• DNS client using AAAA records

IP LoopBack0 Interface

Loopback0 is the name assigned to an IP interface to identify a consistent address for network manage-

ment purposes. The Loopback0 interface is not bound to any VLAN, therefore it always remains opera-

tionally active. This differs from other IP interfaces, such that if there are no active ports in the VLAN, all

IP interfaces associated with that VLAN are not active. In addition, the Loopback0 interface provides a

unique IP address for the switch that is easily identifiable to network management applications.

LPS Release Command

After a security violation occurs, the LPS port is either administratively disabled or filters traffic from one

or more source MAC address. The new port-security release CLI command is used to return the port to

normal operation without having to manually reset the port and/or module.

Multinetting

This feature allows IP traffic from multiple subnets to coexist on the same VLAN. A network is said to be

multinetted when multiple IP subnets are brought together within a single broadcast domain (VLAN). It is

possible to assign up to eight different IP interfaces per VLAN.

Port Monitoring

The Port Monitoring feature allows you to examine packets to and from a specific Ethernet port (either

ingress or egress). You can select to dump captured data to a file, which can be up to 140K. Once a file is

captured, you can FTP it to a Protocol Analyzer or PC for viewing.
