20 of 51
l Ability to Create Helpdesk Provisioners in Guest & IoT Manager
l Preview with RADIUS Attributes Added
l Enhancement to Variables in RADIUSAttribute Configurations
l Enhanced Enforce Preview Functionality for ExtremeControl
Enhancements to DCHP Fingerprint Functionality
Several enhancements to the Detection and Profiling table on the Administration
> Device Types tab have been made to improve DCHP fingerprint functionality.
l Add or edit DCHP device type profiles directly to the table. If a system
fingerprint is edited, a custom fingerprint is created that overrides the system
fingerprint.
l Delete custom fingerprints directly from the table. If the custom fingerprint
was overriding a system fingerprint, the system fingerprint becomes active
once again.
l Import a custom DHCP fingerprint xml definitions file to Extreme
Management Center.
l The Detection and Profiling table now supports additional operations,
including the Group by this Field option, which groups the data in the table by
the selected column heading, and the Show in Groups option, which displays
the fingerprints grouped by the field you selected.
NOTE: Fingerprints are now applied to all ExtremeControl engines and are no
longer engine-specific.
Ability to Configure RADSec and TCP on Proxy RADIUS Servers
You can now select TCP and RADSec setting options when configuring RADIUS
Server authentication and accounting ports. RADSec adds TLS (Transport Layer
Security) over TCP. For versions prior to Extreme Management Center version 8.5,
TCP/TLS settings are not supported and cannot be enforced to ExtremeControl
engines.
Export of End-System Table Data Now Supports HTML Format
Export of ExtremeControl end-systems and end-system events from the respective
tables now supports HTML format.
New Option to Remove End-Systems via the End-Systems Tab
A new Cleanup Data option has been added to the Tools menu in the End-
Systems Table on the Access Control > End-Systems tab, which enables you to
easily remove end-systems from the tables and charts on the End-Systems tab.
