VRF-Lite Enhancement Supports configuration of a single VRF for IPv4 and IPv6 on the same interface Scale Number of VRF 511 Support the following VRF aware IPv6 unicast routing protocols: OSPFv3 BGPv6 IS-IS Support IS-IS for v4 VRF 1 instance per VRF Support IPv4 multicast routing protocols per VRF Support VRRPv3, VRRP IPv6 BFD on non-default VRF Static Route Leaking for IPv6 Dynamic Route Leaking New Platform support Z9500 3
S6000 User Port Stacking Unified management with S6000 Features No separate Stacking slot / port Up-to 320Gbps of stacking bandwidth Up-to 6xS6000 in a single stack Support for Daisy Chain and Ring stack topologies Benefits More devices can be managed using a single management IP address High Availability ensures a Standby unit will take over when the Master unit fails BMP support in a stacked environment Not supported on Fan-Out ports 4
Table size Scaling Improvement The following scaling numbers are specific to S6000 and Z9500 platforms and are uni-dimensional scaling New UFT (Unified Forwarding Table) Mode 4 support In a stacked environment, the new unit will come up with Master s UFT mode UFT Mode L2 MAC L3 Host table L3 LPM table Forwarding table Profile 2 160K 144K~ 16K Default 3 96K 208K~ 16K Scaled-l3- hosts 4* 32K 16K 128K Scaled-l3- routes (ALPM) ~Tested 128K 5
FTOS support on ON platforms NSS NSE FTOS Now supports Open platforms* Open Install Environment support FTOS is ONIE boot compliant Support for New Numbering Schema for Ports, Fans, PS in FTOS 40G port numbering starts from Port 1 Odd port numbers on the top row PS and Fan port numbering are Bay-1 and Bay-2 Platform support S6000-ON, RTS 3/27/2015 *Note: 1. Future platforms include S4000-ON, S3000-ON 6
LACP Link fallback MXL/IOA When the LAG is LACP based between IOA and its ToR and if such LACP PDU s are not received by the IOA, connectivity with ToR Switch continues to be established with a single member link (using internal static lag auto-configured) till LACP are seen again, in simple mux Supported* in Standalone and Stacked configuration Benefit Reduce support calls and ensure basic system operation even when LACP is not configured on ToR TOR IO- Aggregator Servers Uplink Lag * VLT config support is in future 7
