Netgate® Releases TNSR® High Performance Router Version 21.03
Summary
Many of our engineers and release management staff - all of whom have been working from home since March 2020 - were left without power and/or water for days. But, today we’re proud to have the following improvements ready to go for our growing list of operating customers: • Added an option to show configuration contents as a set of CLI commands • Removed redundant ‘shell’ command to allow ‘show’ commands to be abbreviated as ‘sh’ • The CLI now stores as many lines in command history as have been recently configured • The CLI now correctly offers the option to delete mac-address from DHCP host reservations • Using the same MAC address on more than one DHCP host reservation in the same subnet is now prevented • Users can now configure a local static zone with an empty name (“.”) using the CLI • The default MTU is now set to 1500 bytes. The fixes added in 21.03 now allow output features such as NAT and ACL to be applied to packets directly from a host. • Large bursts of BGP routes no longer overload the netlink socket buffer, which prevents routes from failing to be installed in the FIB • RIP information can now be verified when RIP is configured for a VRF • A Prometheus port is now allowed in default Host ACLs • When TNSR services are restarted without saving HTTP configuration to startup config, HTTP server now correctly restarts nginx Much of the above extends existing capabilities to address special cases we may have missed. But we are committed to the hard work, and with each new TNSR release and customer deployment, we move the yardsticks forward.
