CHANGELOG🔗
Verity 6.2🔗
New Features🔗
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Link CRC Error Thresholding (PLM-243) | The ability to turn down links in MCLAGs for CRC failures exceeding thresholds. |
| Ping and Traceroute (PLM-242) | Add ability for users to run pings and trace route commands from system GUI. |
| Static Routing (PLM-241) | Add the ability to support static routes and default routes for tenants to egress the fabric. |
| Manage Port Groups in Sonic Switches (PLM-237) | Support Port Speed and other Layer 1 characteristics on a Port that is a member of a Port Group in the hardware. |
| RADIUS: Support Same Filter ID across multiple Services (PLM-218) | The restriction for the Filter-ID needing to be unique between different services was removed. |
| SONIC Support for Campus Environment (PLM-208) | Support for Multi-chassis Redundancy at all layers of topology and ZTP Enhancements to support Campus. |
| Route Maps (PLM-205) | Allow the user to configure a "route-map" on a BGP peer/neighbor that is leaving the fabric and allow import/export route maps being added between BGP gateways. |
| Device controller needs to support GNMI (PLM-199) | Support for Sonic switches be provisioned using GNMI and retaining support for SNMP for switches running the Edge standard version of Sonic that do not currently support GNMI. This feature includes support for Broadcom (4.2.x), Dell (4.2.x) and Edgecore Sonic variants. |
| Northbound Interface Phase 2 - Basic Provisioning to support Forescout NAC (PLM-162) | Support for a Northbound REST interface with the ability to provision NAC selections for ethernet port profile objects in the system. |
| Black box Configuration Audit and Save Management - Security Audit (PLM-146) | Support detection/correction of switch configuration mismatches and administration of switch configuration save interval. |
| Support Spanning Tree over MLAG (PLM-125) | Support was added to allow STP and PVST over MLAG in BE switch NOS to help protect fabric from loops during switch startup and/ misconfiguration. |
GUI Updates - Datacenter🔗
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| BGP Gateway Name Update and Mode Feature Verity for Cloud | Tenant BGP Gateways have been renamed to Gateways. Verity now includes two new types of Gateways: Static Gateway and Default Gateway. Like how BGP Gateways serve as the next hop for IPs identified via the BGP protocol, Static Gateways will act as the next hop for IPs corresponding to the static routes specified. Furthermore, the Default Gateway will automatically become the next hop for any unrecognized IPs. |
| BGP Underlay Graph | A new graph named BGP Underlay Graph is available. The graph displays the number of underlay connections for each status type, including those that are up, unstable, pre-provisioned, and down. To view the BGP Underlay Graph follow the diagram below and navigate to VNFs > System Applications > GuiA > Device Info. |
| Component JSON | Component JSON is a new feature of the Import/Export Workbench. This feature lets you export a JSON file containing data associated with a selected component. Components include Tenants and Route Maps. |
| Leaf Traffic and Pod System Graphs | Leaf Traffic System Graphs Leaf Traffic is now viewable in System Graphs. |
| Scalable Tenant Slice | The Tenant connections diagram in Tenant Slice has been updated to display large data sets in a more user-friendly way. Service, BGP Gateway and POD data is condensed into visual boxes that encapsulate connections. These visual changes happen automatically when a Tenant has multiple Service Groups and/or has Services/BGP Gateways provisioned across switches from more than one POD. |
| Tenant Info | Tenant Info lets you quickly reference tenants used by the chosen switch and view their information. |
| Tenant Slice Eth-Port Profile Reuse | The process of assigning Services to interfaces (device ports) in Tenant Slice now offers an option to either create Eth-Port Profiles or repurpose pre-existing Eth-Port Profiles when applicable. Tenant Slice allows you to easily add or remove Services and BGP (Border Gateway Protocol)’s from interfaces (device ports). To provision a Service to an interface (device port), the Service must first be assigned to an EthPort Profile. Tenant Slice attempts to minimize the number of Eth-Port Profiles used by determining when to create new ones and when to reuse those that preexist. |
GUI Updates - Enterprise🔗
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Port Type Upstream L3 IP/MASK | The Applications section of each switch now has an assignable IP/MASK for each Service. |
| Expandable Column for Downstream Devices | In the report titled Active SFPs a new column listing downstream devices is available. Expanding the column shows each device. |
| Port Type Upstream L3 IP/MASK | In Service Ports, the Port Type labeled 'Upstream Layer-3 (L2/L3 Switches Only)' now includes an optional IP/MASK setting. To access this feature, refer to the diagram below. |
| Endpoint Switch Pair Delete Restrictions | If an Endpoint is included in a provisioned switch pair, the endpoint delete button is disabled. |
