contains a restricted set of commands suitable for control of a port aggregation device that can be deployed in a
network without requiring updates to the network by a network administrator.
Users needing switch capabilities which
require the network administrator to modify the network configuration can exit simple mode using the
no mode simple
command.
AAA Authentication
In prior releases, more than one method could be specified for dot1x authentication even though only the first method
was attempted.
The CLI and Web now only accept a single method for dot1x authentication.
