Hardware Features

Known Issues
The following issues were found in this release:
ˆ Default VLAN. The Management port can be accessed from any VLAN and is not restricted
to the default VLAN as is stated in the manual. This issue will be fixed in a future release.
ˆ Setting the Fiber Combo Port Type. On the web interface, the fiber side of a combo port (port
25 or port 26) can only be changed between 100FX and 1000X on the Physical Interface
page. If you try to change this parameter by selecting the Front Panel page by double clicking
on one of the fiber ports and attempting to change the Port Type, it only allows 1000X to be
selected. (6039)
ˆ Combo Port Link State. On the Front Panel web page, the combo port link state does not
display when linked via 100FX. See Figure 1, “Front Panel Web Page w/ 100FX Link” below.
ˆ Port Display Color. On the Front Panel web page, all ports are displayed with an orange color
(regardless of their link state) whenever the switch is actively linked via one of the 100FX
fiber ports. See Figure 1, “Front Panel Web Page w/ 100FX Link” below.

Resolved Issues
ˆ Port Trunking and Setting Bandwidth Control. If you attempt to change a port parameter on
an active member of a trunk, an error message will be displayed informing you that the port is
a member of a trunk. You must change an individual port parameter - including Bandwidth
Control - by first deleting the trunk, then changing the same port parameter on all ports that
were members of the original trunk, and finally re-defining the trunk. (6039)
ˆ Destination Address Filter Table. The DA filter table is now supported in this release. (6057)
ˆ Retention of the 802.1x password setting. The 802.1x password setting is now preserved
when the user name is modified. (6083)
ˆ Retention of the 802.1x Dynamic VLAN password. When using the Firefox browser you may
now modify the 802.1x password without getting an error message. (7073)
