What's New
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Edge Link Down Limit | This feature allows you to set the limit for the Edge link to be down. For additional information, see Edge Management. |
| Encrypt Device Secrets | This feature activates device secret encryption for all the Edges in the current Enterprise. For additional information, see Edge Management. |
| Exporting Auto-Rate Limit Events to Orchestrator | To improve the Edge-to-Gateway assignment, when the auto rate-limit capability is activated on Gateways and if the Gateway detects that certain Edges are sending large amount of traffic which might be causing the Gateway to be unstable and drop packets, the auto-rate limit events are generated and reported to the Orchestrator. For additional information, see Operator-Level Orchestrator Alerts and Events. |
| Exporting Gateway Capacity Events to Orchestrator | Currently, the SD-WAN Gateway assignment is based on Geo-proximity and doesn't take the Gateway capacity health metrics into account. To improve the Edge-to-Gateway assignment the capacity health metrics (Edge Count, Tunnel Count, PKI Activated Tunnel Count, Flow count, NAT Count, Packet Queue Watermark, and Packet Drops) are monitored periodically based on warning and critical thresholds. When any of the metrics count is above the defined warning and critical thresholds, Gateway capacity events are generated and reported to the Orchestrator. For additional information, see Operator-Level Orchestrator Alerts and Events. |
| High Availability Support for Platform Firmware | Updating the Factory image and Platform firmware on High-availability (HA) SD-WAN Edges is supported for the 5.2.0 release. For additional information, see Manage Operator Profiles. |
| Partner Settings | This feature allows you to configure the settings of the Partner user. For additional information, see Partner Settings. |
| Route Summarization | Route Summarization or route aggregation is a method used to minimize the number of routes that a router advertises to its neighbor. For additional information and a use case for Route Summarization, see the Arista VeloCloud SD-WAN Administration Guide.
For procedure information for configuring Route Summarization when configuring a Gateway Partner Hand Off, see Configure Partner Handoff. |
| Support for Over Capacity Drops Trend in the page. | VeloCloud Orchestrator allows you to monitor the total number of packets dropped due to over capacity since the last sync interval. |
