Palladion Probe Enhancement
Performance enhancements were made to the Palladion Probe functionality. Release S-C[xz]6.3.9M1 simplifies the operation of software-based Palladion probes by enabling the transmission of IPFIX data to one or more Palladion Mediation Engines, possibly on different sub-nets. This enhancement requires a slight change in the ACLI hierarchy -- specifically, the removal of the network-interface parameter from the comm-monitor configuration object, and its transfer to the monitor-collector configuration object.
Consequently, users who are migrating from a previous S-C[xz]6.3.9 release to S-C[xz]6.3.9M1 must be aware of the following anomaly. After the upgrade, probes based/anchored on media interfaces revert to the default network-interface value of wancom0:0.
The following illustrates a pre-S-C[xz]6.3.9M1 configuration.
comm-monitor state enabled qos-enable disabled sbc-grp-id 0 tls-profile network-interface M10:0 monitor-collector address 172.16.29.102 port 4739
The following illustrates the upgraded S-C[xz]6.3.9M1 configuration.
comm-monitor state enabled qos-enable disabled sbc-grp-id 0 tls-profile monitor-collector address 172.16.29.102 port 4739 network-interface wancom0:0
Note:
Restoration of prior service requires a simple workaround, namely, the update of the network-interface parameter to its original value of M10:0.
