New Software Features or Enhancements

General Enhancements

This release introduces the following enhancements:

• Fail Open I-SID enhancement—You can now configure the Fail Open I-SID as the same I-SID value assigned by RADIUS VSA.
• LLDP-MED enhancement—You can now configure LLDP-MED network policies on ports using EDM. In previous releases, you could only view this information in EDM.
• RADIUS Dynamic Server—You can now configure up to eight clients.

Multi-area SPB Enhancements

This release adds the following Multi-Area enhancements for VSP 7400 Series:

• Increase the number of nodes that can function as boundary nodes from two to four.

• Ability to configure virtual NNI links for Multi-Area boundary nodes—Boundary nodes in the Multi-area SPB network require a robust Fabric path between them in both areas (home and remote). If a robust connection for one of the areas is not possible, you can create a virtual NNI link and establish a virtual Fabric adjacency over the area with the robust connection.

For more information, see 9.0.3 Feature Documentation.

ExtremeCloud SD-WAN Enhancements

The software supports the following enhancements for ExtremeCloud SD-WAN:

• Auto-sense port Multi-area SPB support—On boundary nodes, you can configure in which IS-IS area Auto-sense creates an ExtremeCloud SD-WAN-learned interface.
• ExtremeCloud SD-WAN Bypass and MPLS support—Auto-sense automatically configures Link Debounce on the switch port that connects to SD-WAN Appliance. This configuration enables the switch that connects to the appliance LAN1 port to keep using its FE VXLAN tunnels over MPLS transport, even if SD-WAN Appliance is down, Layer 3 WAN Internet ports are lost, and the appliance is in Bypass mode.

For more information, see 9.0.3 Feature Documentation.

ZTP+ Enhancement

In an earlier release, ZTP+ configuration supported assigning a CLIP in the GRT. Now the CLIP can be used for switch management.
