Introduced in the 4.34.0F release, the maximum links feature allows users to specify the number of active members in both LACP and static port-channels. If active members become inactive due to configuration changes or link failure, previously restricted members can become active. This ensures the port-channel remains operational, preventing disruptions even if all initial active members fail.

The S-BFD hold down timer feature enables delaying the steering of traffic to a previously preferred SR-TE Down path that came back Up. This delay period is configurable. Using this functionality allows time for the path to stabilize (by avoiding potential further path flaps) and allows the user to debug and diagnose the failure state.

Starting with the 4.26.1F release, EOS supports active mixed speed members in a port channel, allowing different

Previously, the maximum valid port channel ID was equal to the maximum number of port channels configurable on the

Some users need to configure the source MAC on routed ports, in some cases.To achieve this,a new CLI configuration

Persistent port security is a feature which ensures that port-security MAC cache is preserved across link flap and system reload. The feature is useful when it is desired to have the same set of already allowed secure MAC addresses on a particular interface after system reload or link flaps. There are separate global configurations to enable persistent port-security for shutdown and protect mode. A command to clear the MAC entries and secure MAC cache for interfaces with port-security configured has been added.
