ExtremeXOS Resiliency Enhancement for IPv4 Static Routes
- Initially verify devices and activate their static routes, without waiting for inbound user traffic, and without requiring configuration of device MAC addresses.
- Detect silent device outages and inactivate corresponding static routes.
- Reactivate static routes after device recovery, or hardware replacement with a new MAC address.
ExtremeXOS currently supports similar protection and resiliency using Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) on IPv4 static routes. However, BFD can only be used when the local and remote device both support BFD.
