Release Notes
ETHX-DS3-1-LT-US, ETHX-DS3-1-LT-UK, ETHX-DS3-2-LT-US and ETHX-DS3-2-LT-UK
1- and 2-port Bonded DS3 EtherXtend Access Devices
Firmware Version 1.01.01
November 12, 2007
New Features and Enhancements
New Features:
1 - Added a DHCP client that can set the management IP address. The DHCP client can be turned on by logging into Web management and clicking on the 'Management Config' button or using the CLI commands from Telnet. The CLI commands are: SET DHCP_SETS_IP ON/OFF and SHOW DHCP_STAT.
When activated, the DHCP Client is initialized at system start up. A DHCP discover message is sent after the DS3 link comes up.
2 - This release adds support for a MAC clearing function. The syntax for the CLI command is "MAC_CLEAR x" where x is either 1 or all. The functionality is not yet available in Web Management, but will be in a future release. Issuing
either command clears dynamic MAC addresses from both WAN and LAN ports.
Enhancements:
1 - All default MTM rules including VLAN rules are set to "NO". This configuration will allow all Tagged and Untagged VLAN traffic to pass through the kits.
2 - Added HTTP cookies to support multiple Web Management sessions from the same IP address.
3 - Added the WAN Error Count to the web interface.
Bug Fixes:
1 - Added the MTM VLAN management TAB to allow configuration of VLAN rules via the web instead of just the CLI on the One (1) port DS3 unit.
2 - The SNMP system uptime and the web display are now consistent.
3 - Port Copy in the WEB Management now works reliably on the two (2) port unit.
Known Restrictions and Limitations
This device will run in DS3 mode only. E3 mode is not supported.
The ETHX-22xx must connect to another ETHX-22xx with one unit set to Provider mode (defatult) and the other set to Subscriber mode.
If the device is running in Subscriber mode (user configured) vs Provider mode
(default) there may be some limitations to the MTM (Muli-media Traffic Management)(QoS) rule configurations. Please contact Zhone support for assistance.
Zhone strongly recommends performing ALL VLAN configurations via ONE management
platform. You must use web management if you wish to take advantage of all MTM features. CLI or SNMP may be used for VLAN configuration if you have no need for the MTM features. Mixing management platforms (e.g., using web management for MTM configurations and CLI for other VLAN configurations is not recommended and will likely cause inconsistencies in packet handling.
OSI Layer 2 port filter configurations for a group of loop bonded ports
APPLIES to all ports in the bonded group, but the configuration will only appear in the web management Layer 2 port filter fields of the lowest numbered port of the group. The fields will appear blank for all other higher numbered ports belonging to the loop bonded group.
Configurations for a group of loop-bonded ports must be completed on the lowest
numbered port of the group. The higher numbered ports in a bonded group
automatically derive their configurations from the lowest numbered port in the
group. Any configurations that have been made to the higher numbered ports will be replaced by those of the lowest numbered port.
Telnet playback of a file containing a large number of lines without a pause could prompt Command Line Interface (CLI) command rejection or device reboot.
Compatibility Issues
The ETHX-22xx units were previously called the ETHX-DS3-x-LT. There are no functional difference between the two part numbers. They are the same devices.
The ability to loop bond DS3 ports exists only to other ETHX-22xx.
The ETHX-22xx kits will not pass traffic to the DNE4500 kits.
Firmware Upgrade Procedure:

Additional Notes
For muticast video applications (IGMP) and other multicast applications, it may be necessary to set the "Flood Unknown Multicast Traffic" setting to "YES" in the "Advanced Configuration" screen. This will allow all multicast traffic to pass throught the DS3 kits.
