New Software Features or Enhancements

The following sections describe what is new in this release:

DHCP Server

DHCP Server simplifies your deployment, saving you time and money by removing the need to deploy an external DHCP server. With this feature, the switch hosts the DHCP server. DHCP Server is supported for IPv4 networks only. With IPv6, you must deploy an external DHCP server.

For more information, see VOSS User Guide.

E-Tree Private VLAN with Endpoint Tracking

This release removes the consistency check on isolated and promiscuous ports for both regular and MLT Flex-UNI ports on Endpoint Tracking interfaces. To support E-Tree Private VLAN with Endpoint Tracking, you must create a Private VLAN with I-SID and configure access ports as PVLAN isolated or promiscuous.

For more information, see VOSS User Guide.

Fabric Attach Ring with ISW-Series Managed Industrial Ethernet Switches

This release supports Fabric Attach interfaces that connect to ISW-Series Managed Industrial Ethernet Switches (ISW) with a ring topology.

You can enable Fabric Attach (FA) Ring Topology Change Notification (TCN) processing on an FA interface that connects to an ISW-Series switch either manually or dynamically through Auto-sense.

For more information, see VOSS User Guide.
