Release Notes 4.1.4.6

New Features in this Release

•

New custom logon templates. The following custom logon templates have been added:

Logoff Transition Page, Logon Page Expired Page, and Too Many Attempts Page.

• Redesigned User Interface. The new user interface is a significant enhancement to the 700wl

Series system. Functions are grouped in a more logical manner; workflow has been

streamlined for common tasks; and the look and feel of the interface has been redesigned and

made more consistent.

• Centralized configuration and management. All system components (Access Control Servers

and Access Controllers) are managed from the central Administrative Console on the Access

Control Server. This includes updating software and viewing system status, including client

status and logs. In particular, you no longer need to access individual Access Controllers to

manage their configuration or to view client status or logs. The Administrative Console on

the Access Controller has been curtailed and is no longer accessible through the 42.0.0.1

URL or the Access Controller IP address.

• New Rights Model. The Rights Manager functions—Authentication and Access Control—

have been replaced with a new model that is more logical and straightforward. In the new

system, a client is identified in terms of an Identity Profile and a Connection Profile, and this

state determines the Authentication Policy and Access Policy that provides rights for that

client. The new Rights model is easier to work with than the version 3.1 Rights Manager, and

in most cases an equivalent Rights configuration under the new model is simpler and more

concise than in the old Rights Manager.

• Access Control Server redundancy and failover. A second Access Control Server can be

configured as a redundant peer that will maintain a synchronized, mirrored configuration of

the primary Access Control Server. In the event of Access Control Server failure, the

secondary Access Control Server can take over management of all connected Access

Controllers.

• Remote CLI access via SSH. System components can now be configured to allow CLI

access from a remote system via SSH.

• Client-based Bandwidth Rate Limiting. Each Access Policy can be configured with limits for

upstream and downstream bandwidth on a per-user basis.

• Enhanced VLAN support. The 700wl Series system now enables the use of separate IP

address ranges via DHCP for different VLANs using the port sub-netting feature. Use of this

feature currently requires that all traffic from the VLAN come into the Access Controller

through a single port. Version 4.1.1.37 also supports segregation of VLAN traffic so that a

client receives traffic only for the VLAN to which it belongs.

• Enhanced SNMP support. The 700wl Series system introduces an additional set of

Management Information Bases (MIBs) that can provide statistical and state information on

the 700wl Series system. The latest version of the 700wl Series system MIBs is available on

the HP ProCurve support web site at http://www.procurve.com
