Tag :: EOS 4.23.0F

Support for DHCPv4 (RFC 2131)  and DHCPv6 Server (RFC 8415) was added to EOS-4.22.1 and EOS-4.23.0 respectively. EOS DHCP server leverages ISC Kea as backend. The router with DHCP Server enabled acts as a server that allocates and delivers network addresses with desired configuration parameters to its hosts.

ECMP Hash visibility CLI determines the output interface for an ECMP set based on the flow parameters supplied by the user. Ingress interface, source IP address, destination IP address and IP protocol are the required parameters. L4 source and destination ports and VLAN identifier are optional, but should be specified if the packet has them.

As described in the Multi-VTEP MLAG TOI, singly connected hosts can lead to suboptimal peer-link utilization. By adding a local VTEP to each MLAG peer, the control plane is able to advertise singly connected hosts as being directly behind a specific local VTEP / MLAG peer.

This feature adds support for offloading BFD Transmit path to hardware (ASIC) for specific types of BFD sessions. This will improve accuracy of transmit timer implementations for BFD (especially with fast timers like 50 ms) and relieve pressure on the main CPU in scenarios of scale.

IP Locking is an EOS feature configured on an Ethernet Layer 2 port.  When enabled, it ensures that a port will only permit IP and ARP packets with IP source addresses that have been authorized. As of EOS-4.25.0F release update, IP Locking can run in two modes - IPv4 Locking (which will be referred to as IP Locking) and IPv6 Locking, which can be configured using the commands mentioned in the below sections. IP Locking prevents another host on a different interface from claiming ownership of an IP address through either IP or ARP spoofing.

Power management is a way to limit the total available power to be used for Power over Ethernet (PoE) ports. Without power management, the total amount of power that the power supply units (PSU) are able to provide is used. Power management can be used to create power redundancies. For example, if a system has 2 1050W PSUs, the feature can set the total available power to be 800W for PoE. With this configuration, 1 PSU is sufficient to power the system and the unused PSU acts as a backup source, thus giving the system a 1+1 redundancy.

This feature adds support for CPU traffic policy capable of matching and acting on IP traffic which would otherwise
