Kinda not worth upgrading until they release 6.1.3. At least for me it would nice to have the IST problem fixed. This way I can upgrade my DMZ core and switches.

I upgraded to 6.1.2.029 and now I get all of my switches trying to use the user name “nortel” to login using window IAS. I had radius set up on these switches but I’ve had to remove it because of this upgrade. It’s flooding our logs with bad logins. Any ideas why?

Hi Dan,
I’ve noticed that as well but haven’t had time to dig into the problem. I’m wondering if the port based EAPoL process is trying to authenticate to the IAS/RADIUS server in preparation for authenticating EAPoL connections?
Thankfully I only have a few lab switches setup testing RADIUS.
If you can a support case to Avaya/Nortel might help. If I discover anything I’ll post back here.
Good Luck!

Michael,
Great site. I used it to setup my SNMPV3 settings. I went on Nortel’s ERS forum and got this answer from a guy there:
http://community.nortel.com/go/thread/5309?tstart=0
Hi Dan,
this “feature” cant currently disabled. In version 6.2.x it will be changed from Radius-Request to ICMP-Ping, but this will be also not be disabled.
This feature must/will be available for EAPoL-FailOpen.
The workaround is to configure the radius-server to accept that request.
good luck

Thanks for the feedback Dan!
I always get excited when folks come back and help add to the discussion and/or topic if they learn something new.
Cheers!

Is it possible to set up an IST on a 5xxx (namely, 5632) with the base license? Or is the Advanced License required for IST?
