Arista Networks EOS-based devices
NetIM now provides additional CLI parsing support for Arista devices supporting NetPlanner use-cases.
Segment routing support for NetPlanner
NetIM now provides additional CLI parsing support for segment routing commands. Segment Routing is a form of source routing being adopted by multiple vendors including Cisco, Juniper, Huawei, Nokia, and so on. Segment Routing has multiple applications including Traffic Engineering and Software Defined Networking (SDN). CLI parsing for segment routing-related commands is provided for Cisco IOS-XR-based, Cisco IOS-XE-based, and Juniper JunOS-based devices. Segment routing-related behavioral modeling and traffic engineering studies are supported in NetPlanner 18.8.0 and later.
