EOS 4.21.3F TOI

As of EOS release 4.19.0F, breakout mode is not supported on any ports between 11-26 (inclusive) and ports between 47-62 (inclusive), and these ports can only run at 1x40GbE or 1x100GbE

BGP conditional route inject functionality is available with the ribd routing protocol model since EOS 4.21.0F

EOS 4.21.3F introduces support for BGP Flowspec, as defined in RFC5575 and RFC7674. The typical use case is to filter or redirect DDoS traffic on edge routers.

This feature adds support for a dynamic configuration model to eliminate the need for the network administrator to

In the traditional data center design, inter-subnet forwarding is provided by a centralized router, where traffic traverses across the network to a centralized routing node and back again to its final destination. In a large multi-tenant data center environment this operational model can lead to inefficient use of bandwidth and sub-optimal forwarding.

This feature implements RFC 5310 that allows IS-IS PDUs to be authenticated using following secure hash algorithms (SHA): SHA-1, SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384 and SHA-512. The feature is supported in both default and non-default vrf. Unlike the existing authentication scheme based on MD5 and ClearText, with this feature two IS-IS nodes can be configured with different SHA algorithm and secret-key and can still exchange IS-IS PDUs.
