Overview 1-5
1.2.1 Infrastructure Features
The switch includes the following Infrastructure features:
• Installation Feature
• Configuration Management
• Diagnostics
• Serviceability
• Tracing / Logging
• Process Monitor
• Hardware Abstraction Layer and Drivers
• Redundancy
• Secure Network Time Protocol (SNTP)
• Password Recovery
1.2.1.1 Installation Feature
The upgrade/downgrade of the switch can be performed at boot time using one of the following methods:
•Web UI
•DHCP
•CLI
•SNMP
• Patches
The switch has sufficient non-volatile memory to store two firmware images. Having a second firmware
image provides a backup in case of failure of the primary image. It also allows for testing of new firmware
on a switch with the ability to easily revert to a previous image.
1.2.1.2 Configuration Management
The switch supports the redundant storage of configuration files to protect against corruption during a write
operation and ensure (at any given time) a valid configuration file exists. If writing the configuration file fails,
it is rolled back and a pre-write file is used.
Text Based Configuration
The configuration is stored a in human readable format (as a set of CLI commands).
1.2.1.3 Diagnostics
The following diagnostics are available:
NOTE: The Motorola RF Management Software is a recommended utility to plan the
deployment of the switch and view its configuration once operational in the field.
Motorola RFMS can help optimize the positioning and configuration of a switch in respect
to a WLAN’s MU throughput requirements and can help detect rogue devices. For more
information, refer to the Motorola Web site.
