Contact Lantronix or your local reseller for more information. This document describes the Lantronix bridge and switch software release. Release Summary --------------- V2.0/3 ------ This release is primarily a maintenance release designed to improve stability. However, several new features have been added. NOTE: The format of the bridge NVR was changed between release V2.0/2 and release V2.0/3. Upgrading a bridge to release V2.0/3 WILL RESET THE BRIDGE'S NVR BACK TO FACTORY DEFAULTS. New Features ------------ The bridge software now allows more than 16 filters per filter list. More than one SNMP community name may be defined. SNMP traps for link up and link down were added. The ability to specify what host machine will receive SNMP traps was added. Use the command: SET/DEFINE PROTOCOL IP SNMP nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn where nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn is the IP address of the machine to receive the traps. Resolved Problems in V2.0/3 --------------------------- Filters did not load correctly from NVR at startup time. Defining multiple filters did not work correctly. Multicast and broadcast packets were being treated the same when doing filtering processing. When specifying source and destionation port numbers for filters, allow both decimal and hex formats. The value for the VINES protocol filter was incorrect. The packets forwarded counter did not correctly track the number of packets forwarded for a specific port rather than the bridge as a whole. When broadcasting periodic Netware announcements, an incorrect bridge name was used.
