What’s new in AlliedWare Plus 5.3.1?

Loop Protection

Thrash Limiting

Loop Protection Thrash Limiting, also known as Rapid MAC Movement, detects and resolves

network loops.

See Chapter 14, Loop Protection for information about the Loop Protection feature.

Loop Detection Loop Detection works in conjunction with Thrash Limiting. With Thrash Limiting, the switch

only detects a loop when a storm has occurred. Loop Detection sends special packets that the

switch listens for.

See Chapter 14, Loop Detection for information about the Loop Detection feature.

IPv6 AlliedWare Plus lets you prepare your network for IPv6. As well as allowing wire-speed IPv6

unicast traffic routing and forwarding, IPv6 support enables your switch to tunnel IPv6 traffic

over IPv4 networks, and with MLD Snooping, to intelligently manage IPv6 multicast streams.

See the following chapters for more information on IPv6:

“IPv6 Introduction” on page 24.1

“IPv6 Commands” on page 25.1

“IPv6to4 Tunneling Commands” on page 27.1

“IPv6to4 Tunneling Configuration” on page 26.1

“RIP Configuration” on page 31.1

“RIP Commands” on page 32.1.

Graphical User

Interface (GUI)

The GUI delivers maximum benefits with minimal complexity. The AlliedWare Plus GUI

provides extensive monitoring capabilities, and essential configuration capabilities.

For more information on the AlliedWare Plus GUI, see, “Appendix C: GUI Reference”.

Broadcast

Forwarding

In a Wake-on-LAN environment, an L3 switch needs to forward the Wake on LAN broadcast

packets across different subnets. Normal operation would limit the broadcast to all devices on

the same subnet, but with Broadcast Forwarding, you can configure the L3 switch to allow

broadcast packets to reach other subnets too.

See the command, “ip directed-broadcast” on page 23.12 for more information.

IP Helper When an L3 switch is configured as an IP Helper, the switch can relay broadcasts from clients in

different subnets to their destination, instead of blocking them. With IP Helper, Windows client

machines can be on a different subnet to the Windows server, and NetBIOS broadcasts that

are fundamental to the Windows network can still successfully pass between the switches.

See the commands, “ip helper-address” on page 23.15, and “ip forward-protocol

udp” on page 23.13 for more information.

MLD Snooping MLD Snooping reduces the amount of multicast traffic on a network by sending the streams

only to interested recipients, instead of flooding to all recipients. This results in far more

efficient use of network bandwidth.

See the command “ipv6 mld snooping” on page 47.10 for more information.

PIM Dense Mode PIM Dense Mode (PIM-DM), which is easier to configure than PIM Sparse Mode (PIM-SM), is

used in situations where there is plenty of bandwidth and a high number of recipients - for

example in LAN environments.
