DeviceExpert Build 5310
Enhancements, Bug Fixes & Changes
Configuration Management
- SSH-based configuration retrieval support is now extended to Nortel Baystack devices.
- Configuration upload is now supported for Alaxala devices.
- Earlier, there were issues in creating a device group specifying more than one criteria. This has been fixed.
- While taking configuration difference for Cisco ASA devices, configuration lines containing Cryptochecksum information will henceforth be ignored.
- Earlier, information on 'who changed' the configuration was not depicted in the configuration difference screen. Now, it is included.
- In Riverbed devices, when paging is enabled, only partial configuration was backedup. This is now fixed.
- DeviceExpert executes configuration operations such as backup, upload etc as parallel jobs. The number parallel tasks is configurable. When the number was set 100, server failed to process the operations. This has been fixed.
Compliance Management
- Support for testing the validity of a compliance rule created using 'Advanced Custom Criteria'.
- Earlier, in 'Advanced Custom Criteria' for compliance rule creation, if the string specified to indicate the starting and ending of the block contained certain special characters, only a part of the configuration was shown in the GUI. This has been fixed now
New Vendors & Device Models
- Support for F5 devices, Enterasys SecureStack A2, Enterasys Matrix N7 Platinum, Adtran Netvanta Router, Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 5510-24T, Nortel - Ethernet Switch 3510-24T and 3Com 4200g
Miscellaneous
- When DeviceExpert contained a huge volume of data pertaining to devices and configuration, the home tab took a long time to load. This has been fixed through performance enhancements.
- Switch-Port Mapper Enhancements: Switch-Port mapper now displays more details on MAC-IP matching. Also, the tool has been pruned to ignore non-port details while depicting the mapping.
- Earlier, if the password of the users imported from Active Directory contained special characters such as &, %, authentication failed. This has been fixed.
- Earlier, in IE 7, when Single SignOn was enabled and if DeviceExpert login failed, it was not possible to login to DeviceExpert with any other user name or any other authentication mode. This issue has been fixed now.
