Firmware Release 6.1 Quiz

The PAA frames parameters validation enhancement is used to validate both the VLAN 1 tag received and the VLAN 1 priority received. Additionally, it is also used to validate the VLAN 2 tag received and the VLAN 2 priority received. Therefore, the correct answer is e) All of the above.

The explanation is that with firmware 6.1, it is now possible to enable layer two control protocol frames (L2PT) on management and traffic ports independently. This means that the L2PT can be enabled on either the management ports or the traffic ports or both, depending on the specific requirements and configurations of the network.

The layer-3 Plug-and-Go feature enables devices in different subnets to be discovered and configured. This means that devices on separate networks can easily connect and communicate with each other without requiring manual configuration. This feature simplifies network setup and allows for seamless integration of devices across subnets.

Inventory collection devices will generate SNMP traps when new devices are discovered or removed. SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a protocol used for managing and monitoring network devices. When a new device is discovered or removed from the network, the inventory collection devices can generate SNMP traps to notify the network administrator about these changes. This allows for efficient management and monitoring of the network inventory. Therefore, the statement is true.

Devices with firmware 6.1 will send SNMP traps when their configuration is changed because SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a protocol used for managing and monitoring network devices. SNMP traps are notifications sent by devices to a central management system when specific events occur, such as configuration changes. Firmware 6.1 likely includes this functionality to ensure that administrators are alerted when configuration changes are made on the device.

The correct answer is b) Firmware release note. Firmware release notes provide information about the enhancements and updates made to a particular firmware release. They typically include details about new features, bug fixes, and any known issues or limitations. By referring to the firmware release notes, users can stay informed about the changes and improvements in the Accedian firmware releases.

The statement is true because the layer-3 Plug-and-Go feature is indeed found in a new TAB called Plug&Go. This suggests that the feature is specifically designed to be easily accessible and user-friendly, allowing users to quickly set up and configure layer-3 networking without much hassle.

The layer-3 Plug-and-Go has the capability to discover new Accedian devices in multiple subnets. This means that it can automatically identify and connect with Accedian devices that are located in different network subnets. This allows for easy and efficient management of Accedian devices across a larger network infrastructure.

In firmware 6.1, the service activation test measurements are not affected by an NTP clock adjustment. This means that even if there is a clock adjustment made through NTP (Network Time Protocol), it will not have any impact on the service activation test measurements. Therefore, the correct answer is False.

The new RFC-2544 Layer-3 Generic test type is a Layer-2 test with Layer-3 payload. This means that the test is performed at the Layer-2 level, but the payload used for the test is at the Layer-3 level. This allows for testing the performance and capabilities of Layer-2 devices, such as switches, with Layer-3 traffic. It is different from the other options mentioned, which include Layer-3 with BER type payload, compatibility with a specific test set, a TCP test, or none of the above.

The statement is false because not all firmware enhancements apply to all applicable NIDs and Nodes. There may be specific firmware enhancements that are designed for certain NIDs and Nodes based on their specific requirements or compatibility. Therefore, it cannot be assumed that all firmware enhancements apply universally to all applicable NIDs and Nodes.

The statement is false because it is possible to individually select which port is allowed to receive a beacon on MetroNID 10GE. This means that the user can choose specific ports to receive the beacon signal, allowing for more control and customization of the network configuration.

The PAA frames parameters validation enhancement work similarly to Y.1564 parameters validation. This means that both methods involve validating the parameters of PAA frames in a similar manner as they are validated in the Y.1564 standard. The statement suggests that the validation process and criteria used in both methods are comparable, indicating that they share similarities in their approach to parameter validation.

The firmware 6.1 does not apply to all Accedian NIDs and Nodes.

Devices with firmware 6.1 will not send SNMP traps when responding to a Beacon. This means that the statement is false.

The layer-3 Plug-and-Go cannot discover earlier firmware version devices.

The layer-3 Plug-and-Go Authorize ID mismatch check box is used to allow the remote device to ignore its Plug&Go filtering setting. This means that even if the remote device has a mismatched authorization ID, it will still be able to bypass the filtering and access the network. This can be useful in certain situations where the filtering settings need to be temporarily overridden for a specific device.

The layer-3 Plug-and-Go advertisement IP refers to the IP address of the collector. In a network, the collector is responsible for gathering information from various devices and forwarding it to the appropriate destination. Therefore, the IP address of the collector is the correct answer as it is the IP address associated with this specific role in the network.

When the answer is "True" it means that the statement is correct. In this case, it means that the PAA (Policy Administration Authority) frames parameters errors do trigger SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) traps. SNMP traps are notifications sent by network devices to a management system to inform about certain events or conditions. So, when the PAA frames parameters have errors, the network device will generate SNMP traps to notify the management system about these errors.

The firmware upgrade package does not apply to all the applicable NIDs and Nodes. This suggests that there may be different firmware versions or packages required for different NIDs and Nodes, depending on their specific hardware or software configurations. Therefore, the statement is false.
