the maximum device count has been increased to 100 devices.

Enhancements to the Top APs by Bandwidth report
The Top APs by Bandwidth report has been enhanced with the following updates:
l Added a Client Peak column and made it visible by default.
l Renamed the Client column to Client Average and made it visible by default.
l Applied these changes to both the Wired Bandwidth and Wireless Bandwidth tables.
Introducing Fabric Assist
Fabric Assist helps you migrate your existing VLAN-centric network to a Fabric
Connect network. Missing port templates are now inherited through the device.
Fabric Assist accomplishes the migration by enhancing VLAN provisioning using
the following features:
l VLAN Trunk Mode – Identifies a port as a VLAN trunk and automatically adds
all the device VLANs as tagged.
l VLAN Range - Imports many VLANs to the device all at once instead of
manually adding and editing one entry at a time.
