13. Support SIM 1.6 (to attach to the system VLAN)
14. PVID =1 for ports removed from any VLAN
15. Support SSH 1.5
16. Support Proxy ARP
17. Add two MIB objects to clear FDB table and ARP table

Problems Resolved:
1. The “show packet ports” page will be overlaid after refreshing.
2. SSH v2 does not work properly with Putty software.
3. Can not create IP interface via web interface 
4. Can not configure the metric of default route via web interface
5. Can not configure the Secondary interface if the IP address is greater than the Primary interface.
6. After rebooting device, the static ARP entry will be lost
7. Device needs around 10 minutes to boot up even when there’re only few ACL configurations.
8. Configuring bandwidth control will fail if the LACP group is already created.
9. If the traffic matches the ACL rule first and the result is “permit”, the bandwidth control function will not work.
10. Safeguard engine can not return to the normal mode when the CPU is not busy any more.

Note:
For DES-3828P, after downloading the firmware, it will take about 5 minutes because the PoE firmware will be upgraded as well.

8. UDP Broadcast (attack tool) causes SIM fail and device reboot

Note:
Because the Dual configuration, the system setting will be cleared after the firmware updated to R2. It’s strongly recommended the user to backup the original configuration then to reload it after the upgrading.
=============================================================
Firmware: 1.00.B31
Hardware: A1
Date: Dec 27, 2005
Problems Resolved:
Fix the security issues recently reported for unauthorized system access.

Enhancements:
Limit the access by passwords generated by "D-Link PWD calculator".
Before, if customers forgot their configured passwords, D-Link could generate passwords based on the MAC addresses provided by customers via D-Link HQ maintained PWD calculator. Thus customers can use those "backdoor" passwords via telnet/ web/ console to logon to their switch again.
Now the access of those passwords generated by "D-Link PWD calculator" will be limited to console access only.
This is to minimize the security concern.

Note:
This is a recommended security patch for your customers.
