Product impact

Feature

Description

Ease of Use

Support for Service Definition during cBR-8 Configuration Reconciliation

With this release, cBR-8 Configuration Reconciliation supports Service Definition parameters such as r-dti profile, controller profile, and service-group. Mac-domain split is not supported during Service Definition reconciliation.

This feature ensures that the service definition parameters in cBR-8 and Smart PHY are in sync.

Ease of Use

LDAPS Support

With this release, Smart PHY supports LDAPS using TLS or SSL to encrypt LDAP packets. This ensures that data cannot be intercepted by third parties while in transit. This feature enhances security as without encryption, credentials could be intercepted or a server response could be modified if is unencrypted.

Ease of Use

Disable sending additional cores in GCP redirect with unmanaged principal core

This feature allows you to disable auxiliary and video cores in GCP redirect, when an unmanaged principal core is used.

Ease of Use

User Interface Updates - Advanced Filtering

This feature allows you to filter multiple columns simultaneously in these pages of the Smart PHY User Interface:

·       Inventory

·       RPD Associations

·       Service Definitions

·       RF Power Adjust Profiles

·       GCP Redirect Configuration

·       Software Compatibility Rules

·       SSH Private Key Profiles

·       DB Inconsistencies

Ease of Use
