New Software Features or Enhancements

The following sections describe what is new in this release:

Fabric Extend Enhancement

In earlier releases, you could not configure the tunnel source address (ip-tunnel-source-address command) if the address belonged to a VRF with an attached I-SID. You can now use an overlay parameter with this command to bypass this restriction.

For more information, see Fabric Engine User Guide.

Fail Open Continuity Mode

Continuity Mode is an enhancement to existing Fail Open VLAN and Fail Open I-SID behavior that shortens the transition to the Fail Open VLAN or Fail Open I-SID. This mode is automatically enabled if you configure Fail Open VLAN or Fail Open I-SID; you cannot disable Continuity Mode. Continuity Mode replaces the Fail Open behavior of previous releases.
