CloudVision CUE 13.0.0 TOI

With the 13.0 release, CloudVision Cognitive Unified Edge (CV-CUE) introduces the Client Explorer view. It helps you view the distribution of clients that are connected to Arista devices. 

In the 13.0 release, CloudVision Cognitive Unified Edge (CV-CUE) adds a new report and also includes some enhancements to existing reports.

With the 13.0 release, CloudVision Cognitive Unified Edge (CV-CUE) can redirect onboarding clients to a dynamic URL defined by the RADIUS. If the  RADIUS access-accept request has a role and a redirection URL for a client, access points (AP) can redirect such client’s HTTP or HTTPS requests. 

With the 13.0 release, you can integrate SAML SSO with a captive portal for authentication. The SAML integration functionality is only available for captive portals hosted on the Arista Cloud. It is not available if the captive portal is hosted on third-party servers or on the access point.

With the 13.0 release, you can schedule the Automatic Channel Selection (ACS) to run at a specific time of the day and minimize service disruption.

With the 13.0 release, you can enable spatial reuse from CloudVision Cognitive Unified Edge (CV-CUE) to improve the spectral efficiency and optimally allocate resources to meet the Quality of Service (QoS). With spatial reuse, two or more Wi-Fi devices (AP or client) that support 802.11ax protocols can send transmissions simultaneously without any significant data loss.

With the 13.0 release, CloudVision Cognitive Unified Edge (CV-CUE) introduces system backup and restore capability. You can back up the entire system or only the configuration files, and restore them when needed.

With the 13.0 release, you can enable Target Wake Time(TWT) from CloudVision Cognitive Unified Edge (CV-CUE). TWT is one of the advanced features of Wi-Fi 6. It enables access points (AP) and stations (STAs) to negotiate schedules for active and sleep durations.

With the 13.0 release, CloudVision Cognitive Unified Edge (CV-CUE) lets you configure Unique PSK (UPSK) for client authentication. UPSKs allow users  to connect to the same SSID using a unique PSK which is user specific. UPSK provides added security as compared to single PSK because single PSKs are easily compromised.

With the 13.0 release, you can now view switch-related data, which is managed by CVaaS, from CV-CUE. With this capability, CV-CUE provides you full visibility of the edge network from a single pane. You can monitor the network and make informed decisions –  for example, when you want to troubleshoot any network issues and find out whether the root cause lies in the wired architecture or the wireless.
