The following sections detail what is new in this document.
This release adds support for Endpoint Tracking on VSP 4900 Series. Endpoint Tracking provides dynamic assignment of virtual machines (VMs) to IP subnets as they move across servers connected through a Shortest Path Bridging (SPB) cloud.
For more information, see Endpoint Tracking.
This release introduces a change to the ACL architecture for VSP 7400 Series.
In earlier releases, ACL ACE rules were defined as:
Security: ACE ID range 1-1000
QoS: ACE ID range 1001-2000
Security ACEs were used to perform permit or deny actions on a match. QoS ACEs were used to perform remarking actions on a match. The switch performed a parallel search on both Security and QoS ACE lists, which resulted in distinct and non-conflicting actions.
Now, ACL ACE rules can be defined as:
Primary Bank: ACE ID range 1-1000
Secondary Bank: ACE ID range 1001-2000
You can use both Primary and Secondary Banks for Security and QoS ACEs. The switch performs a parallel search on both ACE lists. If actions do not conflict, both actions apply. If actions conflict, the action from the Primary Bank has precedence.
Note
As a best practice, apply deny actions to Primary Bank ACEs in configurations where ACEs in Primary and Secondary Banks with deny and permit actions applied can match the same flow.
Prior to this release, you could only enable reauthentication on ports manually through CLI. Now you can enable reauthentication dynamically through RADIUS VSA Extreme-Dynamic-Config. To identify the origin of configuration, the origin displays as either CONFIG or RADIUS.
For more information, see Extreme-Dynamic-Config.
You can now configure OSPFv2 point-to-point network interface type, which provides a single connection between two specific points or OSPF routers. In earlier releases, you could only configure broadcast, non-broadcast multiple access, and passive OSPFv2 network interface types.

Prior to this release, packets tagged with VLAN ID 0 were dropped. This release provides support for VLAN ID 0.
In this release, the Third Party Virtual Machine (TPVM) version is based on Ubuntu 20.04.04 LTS.
A new procedure, Upgrade a Fabric IPsec Gateway VM, is added to the document.
In this release, you can use CLI and EDM to view the current operational speed of the chassis fan in rotations per minute (RPM).
