v1.5.4 Bug Reports and Comments

[mike99]

I never test these issues with DHCP as I can never understand why people would want infrastructure like switches on a dynamic address but then again this is like Ford Chevy argument and I need to force myself to do so in the future.

With DHCP, you can use reserved IP address and manage those from a single centralized point. It's even more true while using dhcp relay.

What is the difference between 1.5.3 and 1.5.4?
We have rolled out 1.5.3 to A LOT of production switches, so it would be good to know...

Similarly, what was in 1.5.3? This thread ends at 1.5.2:

Also the incremental changes on 1.5.5-rc would be nice to see.

Centralized management that makes changing the IPs on a bunch of devices easier.

We tested this last week when programmers were here and the switch obtained a DHCP address from NAT router then got time from time server out on the web.
