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 SimplificationThe 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 SupportUniversal Compute Platform now includes the Third-Party Management Engine as an engine installation option under Engines > Installation 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 PortalThe 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 Tools > Logs 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.
