Release Notes for BayStack Operating System Switching Software (BoSS) 3.1
IP/BootP configuration retention on downgrade
When downgrading a unit with BoSS Software for Policy Switches version 3.0.3
and later, the system will default all configuration, except for the following:
• Stack operation mode
• IP configuration
•BootP mode
Previous releases of Policy Switch software retained the Stack Operational Mode
only on software downgrade. This change allows a remotely accessed switch to
maintain its accessibility after downgrade and/or not require the user re-enter this
basic information which should remained unchanged after a downgrade.
Copper GBIC support
A new full-sized GBIC is supported. This GBIC supports 1000BaseT and works
only on BayStack 470 units. For more information, see
“GBIC compatibility
matrix” on page 9.
Using remote logging
This feature provides an enhanced level of logging by replicating system
messages onto a syslog server. System log messages from several switches can be
collected at a central location, which alleviates the network manager querying
each switch individually to interrogate the log files.
You must configure the remote syslog server and set up the unit to log
informational messages to this remote server. The UDP packet is sent to port 514
of the configured remote syslog server,
Once the IP address is in the system, you can send the syslog messages to the
remote syslog server. If a syslog message is generated prior to capturing the IP
address of the server, the system stores up to 10 messages that are sent once the IP
address of the remote server is on the system.
