Revision Date Feature Description

Untagged VLANs support in

SmartFabric Services mode

Use any untagged VLAN In SmartFabric Services mode for FCoE

uplinks and FCoE supported server ports, which are part of the

FCoE VLAN.

Lifecycle Management using

SmartFabric Director

The gNMI agent processes image upgrade or downgrade

requests from the SmartFabric Director server. The server sends

these requests to the gNMI agent using Google Network

Operating Interface (gNOI) API calls.

gRPC Network Management Interface

agent

New interface to support OS10 device configuration using gNMI

protocol and Openconfig yang models. Supports Create, Read,

Update, and Delete (CRUD) operations on OS10, Telemetry

agent configuration, OS10 lifecycle management (LCM) through

gNOI protocol.

Management address TLV in VLT

domain

Send virtual addresses corresponding to the VLT peers over

management address TLV.

Default hostname Sets the default hostname automatically using a module-slot

format.

VLT backup link in SmartFabric

Services mode

VLT peer liveliness check is auto-configured in SmartFabric

Services mode.

Table 4. New in 10.5.0.0

Revision Date Feature Description

A00 2019–08-09 VLT multicast routing

Configure multicast routing on a VLT domain for IPv4 networks.

DHCP Snooping

Monitor DHCP messages and block untrusted or rogue DHCP

servers.

Configure dynamic RP using BSR

mechanism

Automatically discover the Rendezvous Point (RP) for a given

multicast group in a multicast network.

• VXLAN - Multi-AS

• Centralized Layer 3 Gateway

Routing

• Border Leaf Gateway

• Use multi-AS systems in a BGP EVPN environment.

• Configure routing in a centralized gateway topology

• Configure routing in a border-leaf topology

System events and alarms Change the severity of events using Severity Profiles.

Certificate revocation

Validate that the peer certificate has not been revoked by the

issuing CA.

Redistribute iBGP routes to OSPF Redistribute routes learned using internal BGP to OSPF.

Port to port pipe and MMU mapping

Recommendation for using interfaces from same port pipes for

ingress and egress for optimal performance.

Configure openflow

Configure multiple controllers for OpenFlow on both IPv4 and

IPv6 networks.

NPIV Proxy Gateway cascading

Connect two switches as NPIV Proxy Gateways (NPIV) between

Converged Network Adapters (CNA) or Fibre Channel Host Bus

Adapter (FC HBA) and FCoE Forwarder (FCF) switches.

Obscure passwords

Obscure passwords in the show command output so that text

characters do not display.

RADIUS authentication

Specify an interface whose IP address is used as the source IP

address for user authentication with RADIUS servers.

Simple password check

Turn off the default strong password check and configure

simpler passwords with no restrictions.
