DirectFlow runs alongside the existing layer 2/3 forwarding plane, enabling a network architecture that incorporates new capabilities, such as TAP aggregation and custom traffic engineering, alongside traditional forwarding models. DirectFlow allows users to define flows that consist of match conditions and actions to perform that are a superset of the OpenFlow 1.0 specification. DirectFlow does not require a controller or any third party integration as flows can be installed via the CLI.

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.
