Release Notes

Fabric OS v7.1.0a Release Notes v1.0 Page 12 of 41
 Update sfpShow data when a new SFP is plugged-in
FOS v7.1 has been enhanced to update the SFP serial data information when a new SFP is
inserted even in a disabled port, and to show the "valid" data (Temperature, Current, Voltage
and Tx/Rx power, etc.) once the port is enabled and SFP data has been polled for that port.
 Time stamp for SFP polling
In FOS v7.1 a new field has been added in the command “sfpshow port# [-f]” to display the
last poll time stamp for a port.
 RASlog Management Enhancement
 Ability to Suppress a RASlog Message
A new RASlog command “rasadmin” has been added in FOS v7.1 that can be used to
disable/enable a specific RASlog message or a group of RASlog messages. This command
provides control to the end users to suppress any frequently occurring or unwanted RASlog
message and re-enable the logging when required.
 Change RASlog Message Default Severity
FOS v7.1 adds support to change a RASlog message’s default severity level via the
“rasadmin” command. For example, users may choose to lower the severity of a message
from warning to informational if they believe it is the appropriate severity level for that
message in their environment.
 View RASlog Message Description on the Switch
Beginning with Fabric OS v7.1, users can view the message documentation such as the
message text, message type, class (for audit messages), message severity, cause, and action
on the switch console by using the rasMan message_ID command.
 Errdump CLI Enhancement
New options have been added to the existing errDump command in FOS v7.1 to filter RASlog
messages according to slot , severity, etc.
 CLI History Enhancements
 Starting with FOS v7.1, CLI history will be persistent across reboot and firmwaredownload. A
maximum of 1680 records can be saved.
 The CLI history feature has been enhanced to save the information such as timestamp,
username, IP address of the telnet session, command options, and arguments whenever a
command is executed on the switch.
 Starting with FOS v7.1, each command executed on the switch from a non root account will be
saved as an Audit log. A new RASlog message,“RAS-3005”, has been added to log the CLI name,
including arguments. This RASlog is an audit only message and will not be saved in the RASlog’s
storage.
 Bottleneck Detection Enhancements
Usability enhancements have been made to the bottleneckmon command in FOS v7.1 such that, when
changing bottleneck detection configuration, unspecified parameters do not revert back to their default
values, if they currently have non-default values. Please see the bottleneckmon command description for
additional details.
 Edge Hold Time (EHT) Related Enhancements
FOS v7.1 adds support for the user defined EHT configuration only in the default switch in a Virtual Fabrics
environment. In addition, pre-defined EHT values can be configured for individual Logical Switches.
