Overview

Welcome to the 2105 (May 2021) version of DANOS.

The DANOS 2105 release is based upon Debian 10, with the 5.4 version of the Linux Kernel, the 1911 version of DPDK, and the 7.5.1 version of FRR.

Important changes

Reminder about the default username and password

The default LiveCD and ONIE image username and password change in the 2005 release from vyatta/vyatta to tmpuser/tmppswd.

As part of the installation process, the user has to enter a username and password manually. It is no longer possible to press "enter" and accept the default vyatta/vyatta option.

New Features

Enhanced Syslog

The Enhanced Syslog feature allows syslog to be configured using a rule-based approach, similar to firewall rules. This provides more flexibility such that more complex expressions can be used to select which messages to discard and select, to which files/hosts those messages are forwarded, as well as rate-limiting based support.

ARP Configuration support

This feature adds support to allow the ARP cache timeout (ARP timeout or ARP ageing timeout) and the ARP cache size to be configured.

system ip arp stale-time <value> system ip arp table-size 1024 system ip arp table-size 2048 system ip arp table-size 4096 system ip arp table-size 8192 system ip arp table-size 16384 system ip arp table-size 32768 system ip arp table-size 65536 system ip arp table-size 131072 system ipv6 neighbor table-size 131072

NETCONF support for adding copy-config to the candidate configuration

This feature adds the ability for a pre-generated configuration to be pushed to the router and have it applied to the candidate datastore via the NETCONF RPC.

Prohibit password reuse

This feature adds the ability to prohibit the use of old passwords for the same system account. It only affects local system accounts and not those such as GRUB passwords or TACACS+ accounts. It also enforces password expiry based on a configurable time, thereby forcing users to update their passwords after a given time.

Password history and expiration operate on a system-wide level i.e. this policy cannot be enforced on a per user basis.

system password requirements expiration maximum-days <value> system password requirements history forbid-previous <value>

New DPI applications and protocols

Upgrade to use nDPI 3.4, which will introduce support for: anydesk, blookbert, capwap, discord, doh_dot, iec60870, microsoft365, nats, s7comm, soap, teams, websocket, zabbix.

ISIS enhancements

IS-IS routing protocol now supports topology and MPLS-TE configuration options, and IS-IS can be applied to a VIF interface.

Support for non-dataplane interfaces

Some interfaces do not (yet) have support in DPDK and will be owned by the kernel. They are likely to be used for the management of the system and not for the main packet forwarding functions. The ‘interfaces system’ configuration model provides a method of configuring such interfaces in a manner consistent with the rest of the system. All packet forwarding on such interfaces will occur in the kernel. The configuration available on these interfaces is a significantly smaller subset of the configuration available on interfaces owned by the dataplane.
