Netris 4.3.0 (July/31/2024)
What’s new in Netris 4.3.0?
Features
Nvidia Spectrum-X. Multi-tenant network automation, switch-fabric management, and cloud networking abstraction for Nvidia Spectrum-X AI/GPU cluster networks.
Init workflow (terraform module) for rail-optimized AI/GPU cluster network topologies.
Netris2air. Nvidia Air network simulation plugin that reads the inventory, IPAM, and topology data from Netris controller and creates a simulation (digital twin) of your network in Nvidia Air. Used to simulate fully functional networks before applying on the physical hardware.
Parallel Fabrics. This functionality allows for managing multiple physically separate switch fabrics logically defined in one Netris controller. A common example would be the East-West fabric for the RDMA compute network, the North-South fabric (or TAN—Tenant Access Network), and the out-of-band management (OOB) network.
Topology validation: Validate the actual wiring in comparison to wiring data defined in Netris Topology manager, detect and alarm wiring errors.
Server Cluster (profiling). Create VPC, V-Net(VXLAN+Subnet), and other network services by providing a list of servers that should participate in the cluster. Create VRFs, VPCs, VXLANs by server endpoints, not switch ports.
AI/GPU network optimization services such as QoS for RoCE, RoCE Adaptive Routing, and RoCE Congestion Control.
NHN Plugin (Netris Host Networking Plugin) – AI/GPU host networking services for zero-touch configuration of IP addresses, static routes, SuperNIC firmware installation, and AI/GPU networking optimizations enablement on SuperNIC
Cumulus Linux version 5.9.1 is now supported by the new NVUE Netris agent.
Bug fixes
Netris Scalability has been validated for up to 32000 active network links.
BGP Numbered/UnNumbered. The BGP underlay network now supports numbered BGP in addition to previously supported unnumbered.
L3VPN VXLAN: Netris V-Nets now support L3VPN VXLANs in addition to L2VPN.
Performance improvements to Netris controller.
