G8124/G8124-E Firmware Version 7.6.2.0 (Released April 2013)
** Changes since the 7.6.1.0 release **


Enhancements:
None.


Changes:
None.


Fixes:

- The ability to manually set a port's "speed" parameter was missing in isCLI mode.
   (66882)

- The manual configuration of a port's "speed" setting would be lost after
  reboot for installed 1000BASE-T SFP transceivers, even though the intended
  setting was displayed in the running configuration.
   (66882)

- Manually setting the duplex mode of a 1000BASE-T SFP transceiver would
  result in the link going down.  The condition could only be remedied
  by a reboot of the switch.
   (70362)

- If IGMP Multicast streams with a common (S,G) pair were being sent out of 
  two or more switch ports, then inbound IGMPv3 protocol packets from multiple
  receivers were interleaved such that an Exclude(none), an Include(S,G), and
  an Exclude(none) arrived sequentially on a port, that port would stop
  forwarding multicast packets that matched the (S,G) pair.

===============================================================================
G8124/G8124-E Firmware Version 7.6.1.0 (Released December 2012)



New and Updated Features:
========================

BGP Route Reflection:
---------------------
Route Reflection is a technique to avoid a large number of sessions between IBGP
peers. In this release, support for RFC4456 (BGP Route Reflection - An Alternative
to Full Mesh Internal BGP (IBGP)) has been added.


SNMP: Support for 8 Read-Only and Read-Write communities:
---------------------------------------------------------
This release adds support for 8 read-community names(Read-Only),
and 8 write-community names(Read-Write) with SNMPv1 and SNMPv2.


RFC5340: OSPF For IPv6:
-----------------------
The switch was previously compliant with RFC2740. Starting with this release,
the switch is compliant with RFC5340, which supersedes RFC2740.


VLAG and PIM Support:
---------------------
Previous releases supported IP Multicast routing through the PIM protocol.
Also previously supported was the VLAG (Virtual Link Aggregation) protocol.
This release adds support for PIM over a vLAG topology, so that the most
efficient multicast routing can be achieved in a vLAG topology.


NTP Client Display Improvements:
---------------------------------
The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is widely used to synchronize computer clocks
in the Internet.  With the NTP service enabled, the switch can accurately
update its internal clock to be consistent with other devices on the network. 

In this release, the "show ntp" command has been updated with such details as
clock offset, stratum, and reference clock.  Also in this release is a dampening
of the number of syslog messages generated when the system clock is updated or
if NTP synchronization fails.


Cisco-like CLI:
---------------
As part of this change, some existing ISCLI commands have been modified to look
more like those in Cisco's IOS.  The commands chosen for modification in this
release are ones frequently used for VLAN, Port, and STP configuration.
With these changes, those familiar with Cisco-IOS CLI can more readily configure
the IBM-NOS VLAN, Port, and STP modules.


Support for 4K VLANS:
---------------------
Increased the scalability of VLANS from 2K to 4K
