Cumulus Linux 3.0 NOS now in the wild
Summary
For Cumulus, one of the biggest aspects of the launch is that version 3.0 is 100 Gbps Ethernet-capable, something it reckons will be important for the data centre market. Four of the products already certified in its hardware compatibility list target that space: Dells Z9100, Penguins 3200CP and Supermicros SSE-C3632 (all using Broadcom Tomahawk silicon), and Mellanoxs own-silicon SN2700. For IPv4/IPv6 leaf-spine architectures, the latest cut of the code adds Linux Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF) for multi-tenant environments; BGP Unnumbered and RFC 5549 improve v4/v6 dual-stack support; and theres BGP- and OSPF-based redistribute neighbour capabilities. Cumulus VX (the virtual machine) adds ONIE-supporting hardware emulation. This is useful for optimising automation of Quagga in your environment or to apply changes made at runtime.” The complete release notes are here.
