Enhancements in Release F.05.05 through F.05.70

LLDP

Implements the industry standard Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) on your 
switch, as an alternative to the Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP). The LLDP 
provides a standards-based method for enabling switches to advertise them-
selves to adjacent devices. 

Disable Auto MDIX

A new global command, "no auto-mdix", that disables Auto-MDIX for all ports 
that are in auto-negotiation mode.

New Console Option

A new console option removes terminal escape sequences, which allows 
scripts to better interact with the Command Line Interface.

Clarification of Time Zone

The method of configuring the Time Zone for TimeP or SNTP configuration has 
been updated.

Syslog (Syslogd)capability

Adds the ability to direct Event Log messaging to an external file as an aid in 
debugging network-level problems. Complies with RFC 3164.

Isolated Port Groups

Originally added in release F.04.08 to provide an alternative to VLANs, this 
feature now offers two new isolation groups: group1 and group2.

Port-Based Access Control 
(802.1X) with Open VLAN Mode

Originally added in release F.04.08 to provide access control through a RADIUS 
server, this feature now includes Open VLAN Mode. This gives you a means for 
allowing a client computer without 802.1X supplicant software to temporarily 
join an unauthorized-client VLAN and proceed with initialization services, such 
as acquiring IP addressing, 802.1X supplicant software, and other optional 
services you may want to provide. 

IGMP Version 3 Support

The switch now supports operation with IGMPv3 traffic.
