• VPN Manager provides searches that let you quickly find a particular
VPN or conduct a search for all VPNs. Search results contain a list of the
current VPNs configured within the environment and the current status.
You can drill into a single VPN to see the current list of PE interfaces
participating within that VPN as well as the VPN’s current status.
Performance
• Watch Editor performance has been increased by only displaying a
subset of affected models, therefore minimizing the time users wait to
retrieve their requested list of models. The number of models to display
at any given time will be user-definable. The user will be able to “page”
to the remaining undisplayed models at their convenience.
• Search Manager Performance for large searches has been enhanced by
refining underlying search infrastructure.
• The amount of traffic generated by WA_Link models has been
decreased to decrease SpectroServer CPU utilization.
• Adjustments have been made to increase performance while using “use
the same View” preference with a large number of pipes in the view.
Additional Usability Enhancements
• For Frame Relay management, users are now able to view IfIndex,
IfDescription and IP address within the DLCI_Port Configuration GIB
view.
• Column headers in Global Attribute Editor were updated to better
describe the purpose of the data that falls in the “default” column.
• Results provided from “Ping through Server” are now provided using
the IP address argument instead of the model name, thus providing
cleaner/clearer output.
• Usability of “Ping through Server” has been enhanced by implementing
shorter time outs and providing “Request timed out” messages to end
user.
• The VLAN List menu pick is now enabled and selectable in the Universe
View when the user has a device modeled in the Universe View that has
VLANs configured.
