Support for AES GCM has been added as a method for storing symmetric secrets in EOS. This applies to secrets that must be

NDR switch sensor aka “monitor security awake” feature provides deep network analysis by doing deep packet inspection of some or all packets of traffic that's forwarded by the switch.

The Segment security feature provides the convenience of applying policies on segments rather than interfaces or subnets. Hosts/networks are classified into segments based on prefixes. Grouping prefixes into segments allows for definition of policies that govern flow of traffic between segments.

This can be done with multiple groups today, as long as we have enough unique group entries in hardware. In the absence of this configuration ( default behavior ), bridged traffic will be assigned to the default VRF and policies of default VRF will be applied to bridged traffic. With this feature, bridged traffic is never subject to MSS-G configuration.

This TOI describes a set of enhancements made to the existing Port Security: Protect Mode (PortSec-Protect) feature. Please see the existing TOI for this feature here:Port Security: Protect Mode

Prior to 4.32.2F, the “reset system storage secure” CLI command can be used to perform a best-effort storage device wipe of all sensitive data. However, this command has the limitation that it wipes EOS from the storage device, leaving the system “stuck” in Aboot. The “reset system storage secure rollback” command provides the same secure erase functionality, but additionally allows the user to preserve a subset of files on the main flash device by copying them into RAM during the secure erase procedure. The set of files that are preserved is configurable. After a successful wipe, the system will return to EOS after the erase is complete if the EOS SWI image and adequate configuration files are preserved (such as boot-config and startup-config).

EOS provides a way to extend its capabilities through the installation of extensions. An extension is a pre packaged

This supports checking that the value of a given x509 certificate OID matches a user-provided value during the TLS handshake in OpenConfig. If the value does not match, no connection will be established.

This feature adds TLS support to the existing syslog logging mechanism. With the new added CLI commands, the user can
