1.1 Customer Feature Requests Addressed in 8.5.1
Extreme Management Center CFRs Addressed ID
DvR Functionality Supported in Extreme Management Center
Extreme Management Center now supports DvR functionality to
provide routing redundancy in a fabric-connect network.
NOTE: VOSS devices support a new "dvr-one-ip" feature in the 8.2
release that allows you to share an IP address between a VLAN and
its DvR interface. XMC currently does not support the "dvr-one-ip"
feature and cannot read or enforce configurations of this type.
Configure VOSS device IP addresses on VLANs and their DvR
interfaces through the VLAN Definition tab.

Extreme Management Center Now Supports Unified Series 5520
Devices
NOTE: Changing unified series devices from EXOS to VOSS or vice
versa is not supported in Extreme Management Center. We
recommend the following steps when changing a unified series to a
different operating system.
1. Delete the device from Extreme Management Center (make
sure the check box is checked to delete from database).
2. Manually change the device to the different operation system
("EXOS to VOSS" or "VOSS to EXOS" or use ExtremeCloud IQ
to perform this action).
3. Add the device back into Extreme Management Center.
