Release Notes
System Firmware Version 5.1.0.1 Page 21
The PowerConnect M8024-k is the only modular switch that defaults to the simple mode of operation. Simple mode
contains a restricted set of commands suitable for control of a port aggregation device that can be deployed in a
network without requiring updates to the network by a network administrator. Users needing switch capabilities which
require the network administrator to modify the network configuration can exit simple mode using the no mode simple
command.
 AAA Authentication
In prior releases, more than one method could be specified for dot1x authentication even though only the first method
was attempted. The CLI and Web now only accept a single method for dot1x authentication.
Issues Resolved
The following issues from previous releases have been corrected. The issues listed here may have been discovered on any of the
