Support for SNMP v3

From a security point of view, it is recommended to enable products only with SNMP v3, with authentication and privacy modes. Therefore, SNMP v3 with authentication and privacy modes is now the mandatory requirement for both current and future development for all Avaya products.

Logging Enhancements

Application Enablement Services configuration changes will be logged through Syslog which will enable the changes to be tracked in logs that can be automatically audited by operations. Customers will need to export logs for regular backups. With this capability the exports can be automatic rather than manual. This enables improved manageability and monitoring and will address customer concerns about audit gaps.

Support for Common Server Release 3 (CSR3) hardware

Application Enablement Services 7.0.1 supports CSR3 hardware.

Support of Internet Explorer 9, 10, and 11
