Fabric Attach Server Mode Supported and Policy Improvement

For ExtremeXOS 22.5, the Fabric Attach feature now supports:

Fabric Attach server mode for VXLAN overlay networks.
Fabric Attach operates in server mode whenever one or more fabrics are created. The Fabric Attach server may receive mapping requests from any of several sources (CLI, client/proxy requests using LLDP, or network authentication services such as RADIUS and policy).
Policy can configure NSI mappings based on the RADIUS-returned “policy name”.
This allows the mappings to be derived from the RADIUS configuration and avoid configuration conflicts between users.

Supported Platforms

For Fabric Attach server mode: Summit X770, X670-G2, and ExtremeSwitching X870, X690 series switches.

For Fabric Attach proxy mode: Summit X450-G2, X460-G2, X670-G2, X770, and ExtremeSwitching X440-G2, X870, X620, X690 series switches.
