Alcatel-Lucent AOS-W 6.5.3.x - Page 27

Features Introduced in AOS-W 6.5.0.0
The following features are introduced in AOS-W 6.5.0.0:
Feature Description
App and App Category Visibility Starting with AOS-W 6.5.0.0, a Branch switch classifies traffic into multiple
priorities and shapes the egress traffic to match the actual upstream
bandwidth.
Blocked Session Starting with AOS-W 6.5.0.0, the AppRF page in Dashboard has been
renamed to Traffic Analysis. Blocked Sessions is a newly added tab that
displays WebCC and AppRF sessions which are blocked by ACL through
system logging or on the WebUI interface.
Cellular Handoff Assist The cellular handoff assist feature can help a dual-mode, 3G/4G-capable
Wi-Fi device such as an iPhone, iPad, or Android client at the edge of Wi-Fi
network coverage switch from Wi-Fi to an alternate 3G/4G radio that
provides better network access. This setting can now be applied to
individual virtual APs via the wlan virtual-ap profile.
Centralized Licensing
Enhancements
AOS-W 6.5.0.0 introduces the following enhancements to the centralized
licensing feature:
Support for the Web Content Classification (WebCC) license. This license
is a subscription-based, per-AP license that supports web content
classification features on an AP for the duration of the subscription period
(up to 10 years per license).
Support for multi-version licensing, which allows centralized licensing
clients to run a different version of AOS-W than the primary and backup
licensing servers. If a license is introduced in a newer version of AOS-W,
the primary and backup licensing servers set can still distribute licenses
to licensing clients running an older version of AOS-W, even if the
licensing client does not recognize the newer license type.
Support for multiple master/local domains; topologies where multiple
master switches have one or more attached local switches.
Clarity Synthetic Clarity Synthetic enables the switch to select and convert any OAW-AP200
Series access point to client mode. The converted AP acts like a WiFi client
and starts synthetic data transaction within the network to monitor and
detect the network health.
Cloud Management Central or any other cloud solution can manage branch switches, access
points, user/device profiles, and/or services (UCC, AppRF, FW and so on)
over ZTP or Activate server.
Configuring OCSP for VIA
The OCSPconfiguration for AOS-W VIAis simplified with four parameters
removed: OCSPresponder's URL for IKE, OCSPresponder's CNfor IKE,
OCSPresponder's URLfor EAP, OCSPresponder's CNfor EAP. New
parameter to enable OCSPresponder is added to the aaa
authentication via connection-profile command and corresponding
change in the WebUI is done.
Switch Port Security
Enhancement
Starting with AOS-W 6.5.0.0, if the number of MAC addresses exceeds the
maximum limit set for the port, you can configure appropriate options so
that the new MAC entries are dropped and a warning message is logged
in syslog. The values for level of security and auto-recovery interval (in
seconds)can also be set.
