| Offline Installations and Upgrades |
Self-Orchestration deployments of ExtremeCloud Edge now support offline installations and upgrades This feature improves security as there is no longer a need for you to be connected to the internet while installing or upgrading your system. For offline installations, you must upload and install a Kubernetes resource package that you can use to first install Kubernetes and then to set up the standalone cluster. For details, see ExtremeCloud Edge - Self-Orchestration Deployment Guide. |
| Kubernetes Upgrade | Universal Compute Platform now supports and uses Kubernetes v1.34. |
| VRRP Configuration Simplification | The VRRP section of the port configuration pages is updated so that each VRRP address has its own line entry. This update makes it easier to manage and contextualize the VRRP configuration for deployments that require multiple VRRP addresses on the same interface. |
| Third-Party Management Engine Support | Universal Compute Platform now includes the Third-Party Management
Engine as an engine installation option under on the 1130C. Note: Although this engine option appears on
the 1130C, the feature is not GA as of the v5.14.01 release
date. The feature will release as per its own
schedule.
|
| SNMP MIBs Available on Portal | The MIBs for using SNMP to manage Universal Compute Platform are now available for download from the Support Portal alongside the release software. Download the MIBs and then upload them to a Network Management Station (NMS) server so that you can track Universal Compute Platform application status from the NMS server. |
| Security Enhancements | |
| Access Events Log |
Logging options in Universal Compute Platform are updated to include an Access Events log that tracks logins, authentication atempts, the opening and closing of sessions, and whether any back off mechanism was implemented for failed logins. To view the Access Events Log, go to and then select the Access Events tab. |
| SSH Backoff | To protect against brute force attacks, a back-off mechanism is added to SSH interface for failed login attempts where the number of failed logins exceeds allowed thresholds. |
