Candela LANforge Release Notes

Candela LANForge 5.2.3.1 New Features & Improvements:

• Dynamic Reporting improvements:  Allow reporting over arbitrary time slices instead of just the last 10 minutes, loading of CSV report files, and many other improvements.
• WiFi:  Support WPA2 in virtual access points.
• WiFi:  Support SSIDs up to 32 bytes in length (old max was 15).
• WiFi:  Support multiple WiFi NICs in the same system.
• Don't let users configure invalid MAC addresses (bit 0x01 set in first octet, or all-zero MAC address). Allow users to configure interfaces to be admin-down.  This will cause them to generally be un-used by the OS.  For WiFi Station interfaces, they will be un-associated, for instance.
• GUI:  Allow saving column sizes and positions so that they will be reloaded in that configuration next time the GUI starts.
• CTRL-S saves, CTRL-M allows adding/deleting columns, and CTRL-O returns the table to the factory defaults.
• More obviously, right-click menu-items allow the save, reset, and column manipulation.
• File-IO:  Improve batch-modify functionality:  Can change endpoint-type and read/write settings.
• Support serving DHCPv6 in virtual routers and using DHCPv6 on interfaces to acquire the global IPv6 address.
