# Release v6.1
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Among various exciting new features and bugfixes this new firmware includes:
|
|
|
* Display information about GrandMaster in wr_mon
|
|
|
* Informing about unrecognized SFP in wr_mon
|
|
|
* Improved reporting of offset between NTP and WR time via SNMP
|
|
|
* Support of disabling SFP’s TX laser with wrs_sfp_dump
|
|
|
* Fixes in handling of SFP’s diagnostics (if SFP diagnostic is used with firmware v6.0.x it can corrupt SFP’s eeprom!)
|
|
|
* Detection whether a switch is a low-jitter version (displayed in wrs_version, SNMP and web interface), and fix to leap-seconds.list update
|
|
|
* Addition of a subset of IP-MIB, BRIDGE-MIB and QBRIDGE-MIB objects to SNMP support
|
|
|
* Implementation of sysObjectID OID value to reflect WRS manufacturer and HW version
|
|
|
* Implementation of radius-802.1X for MAC authentication (subset of IEEE 802.1X)
|
|
|
* Support of LLDP with VLANs
|
|
|
* Small fixes in webinterface (it is still not recommended to use webinterface due to not fixed security issues, more on #266)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
*wrs-user-manual* was updated with with the description of new functionality and the new configuration items in dot-config.
|
|
|
|
|
|
There is a new document WRS: Radius Vlan describing Implementation and usage of radius-802.1X for MAC authentication (subset of IEEE 802.1X).
|
|
|
|
|
|
*wrs-developer-manual* and *WRS: Failures and Diagnostics* contain only a minor changes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
This release uses exactly the same FPGA bitstream as the v6.0.x, thus the same calibration parameters apply.
|
|
