Here’s the changelog.<\/a><\/p>\n

I’m going to do like always, and pick out my favorites :<\/p>\n

*) fixed installation on fresh disks or VMs;
\nThis one was a real problem, you couldn’t install 3.22 on a server…which was super fun hehe.<\/p>\n

*) add 802.1ad Service Tag support for VLAN;
\nThis is an exciting option. This is the open standard version of Cisco’s Q-in-Q tunneling. In essence, you run a metro Ethernet solution around town. You make a VLAN that spans from a customer location on one side of town to the other. The customer can plug a switch into your port and trunk across the link, even though you are only using a single access VLAN! Cisco does this by double tagging. In Cisco, you can also use L2protocol tunneling, which allows you to send CDP, STP, and VTP. Though if you do a QnQ tunnel inside of a QnQ tunnel, you can only use l2protocol tunneling on one of the tunnels, not on both. I learned that the hard way \ud83d\ude09 L2protocol tunneling uses a proprietary MAC, so if you are double tunneling, you can’t have that proprietary MAC show up twice. You will also want to adjust your MTU accordingly, since you are adding a VLAN tag onto a VLAN tag.<\/p>\n

*) added URL support to fetch tool;
\nPerhaps we can do nightly config pulls via this method, or one could check if a site is available, and route accordingly.<\/p>\n

*) console – removed support for octal numbers, now string of digits with
\n a leading zero is interpreted as decimal number;
\nThis will be very helpful in scripts…I’m tired of checking for this in date values!..that is…if it works in scripts also.<\/p>\n

There are several more updates in there, so take a peek for yourself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
