One feature missing for STP would be to show the mac address of the root switch in WebUI and CLI. I know HP switch show it and if I remember well, Cisco too.
If possible, adding name of the switch and /or last ip address like in mac table since those information are more easy to remind than mac address.

Also, where is MSTP on road map ? I can't find the roadmap anymore. Via CLI at first would be fine enough for me. Anyway, most switchs manifacturer advances features are CLI only.

Found the roadmap but MSTP is not mentionned. Was for 2.0 if I remember well.

Anything planned between 1.3.x and 2.0 ?

Right now our goal is to finalize v1.3.3 as v1.3.3rcX is coming out soon.

After that we want to put Eric back on the CAP for awhile and work on getting the DC units in full production.

Things that would be nice to put back on the MAP for the future are as follows:

Fix UDP

Finish speed test functions

Make sure people are able to use QinQ

More balloon mouse over tips

Some CLI Fluff

Some UI Fluff

MSTP - NOT looking forward to this so last

A manual, not sure why one is needed especially if we put in more mouse over balloon tips???

We would also like to get back onto our bandwidth control appliance

I am OFF this Friday and next Monday - VERY NEEDED VACATION TO MIAMI

Then the following weekend I am going up to Canada to brainstorm with Dave and Eric

After that the next batch of DC switches should hopefully arrive for assembly and testing.

Need to get ready for Vegas yet

I am way behind in doing RMA's, not that we have a lot, I think I have 4 or 5 backed up and people waiting on me to put them on the bench and look at them. I like to think RMA's should get turned around in 2-3 weeks at the longest so I need to get cracking on them. I think 2 have been here 2 weeks now.

Building the maual into the GUI makes more sense than some instantly obsolete paper that'll just get lost or tossed... never available when needed during config'ing. :smile:
