| Feature Set | VXLAN EVPN Traffic Engineering | Beginning with Cisco NX-OS release 10.4(3)F, the VXLAN EVPN Traffic Engineering - Multi-Site Egress Load-Balancing feature has been added to improve traffic steering and better utilize inter-DC links across multiple sites. For more information, see Cisco Nexus 9000 Series NX-OS VXLAN Configuration Guide, Release 10.4(x). |
| Multisite Anycast Border Gateway Support | Beginning with Cisco NX-OS Release 10.4(3)F, the VXLAN Multisite Anycast BGW is supported on the Cisco Nexus 9808 and Nexus 9804 switches with Cisco Nexus X9836DM-A and X98900CD-A line cards. For more information, see Cisco Nexus 9000 Series NX-OS VXLAN Configuration Guide, Release 10.4(x). | |
| Multi-Site support with IPv6 Multicast Underlay in Fabric and IPv6 DCI IR | Beginning with Cisco NX-OS Release 10.4(3)F, the VXLAN EVPN and TRM Multi-site is supported with IPv6 Protocol-Independent Multicast (PIMv6) Any-Source Multicast (ASM) on the fabric side and Ingress Replication (IPv6) on the DCI side. For more information, see Cisco Nexus 9000 Series NX-OS VXLAN Configuration Guide, Release 10.4(x). | |
| Sample-based subscription and updates support for RIB native path | In earlier releases, only one type of subscription, event subscription, was supported. Starting with the current release, a periodic subscription is also supported. With the new feature, two query conditions are introduced: • data=ephemeral - Sends route information at the configured intervals (sample interval 0 or configured) to the destination. • updates-only - Sends route information for the subsequent updates to the destination. For more information, see the Cisco Nexus 9000 Series NX-OS Programmability Guide, Release 10.4(x). |
|
| OSPFv3-MO support for NX-OS | Beginning with Cisco NX-OS Release 10.4(3)F, querying of OSPFv3 YANG models is introduced to automate and streamline the management and monitoring of OSPFv3, allowing for more efficient and error-resistant configuration, as well as enhanced visibility into the network operation. For more information, see the Cisco Nexus 3000 and 9000 Series NX-API REST SDK User Guide and API Reference, Release 10.4(x). | |
| Flexible PTP over IPv6 multicast | From Cisco NX-OS Release 10.4(3)F, new global and interface commands are introduced to set the transmit and receive scope for PTP over IPv6 multicast configuration. For more information, see the Cisco Nexus 9000 Series NX-OS System Management Configuration Guide. | |
| Config Replace support for polymorphic commands | From Cisco NX-OS Release 10.4(3)F, you can also use polymorphic commands in candidate config to perform configuration replace. For more information, see the Cisco Nexus 9000 Series NX-OS System Management Configuration Guide. | |
| Partial diff support for polymorphic commands | From Cisco NX-OS Release 10.4(3)F, you can also use polymorphic commands in candidate config to perform partial diff. For more information, see the Cisco Nexus 9000 Series NX-OS System Management Configuration Guide. | |
