New Features

(CFR denotes customer requested)

 

DNSv3

IM -2552: Updated and replaced the DNS Admin and DNS Tabs with DNSv3 - featuring a more efficient backend, new user interface, and a DNS "Group" system.

  • Access DNS Servers, Groups, and Zones from the same ProVision DNS tab. 
  • Removed the DNS-Admin tab.  Functionality previously in  DNS-Admin is now contained under the DNS tab "DNS Servers" area (Admin only), with SOA and Nameserver defaults set per-Group.
  • Introducing "DNS Groups" - Organize your Zones and Servers together into a single place. With Groups, you are able to push whole group configurations at the same time.
  • Zone Error Monitoring - Check zones for errors, and receive detailed feedback. 
  • Schedule Pushes at the server, group, or individual zone level.


Peering "View By Peer" tab

IM-1551: Added "View by Exchange" and "View by Peer" options for the Peering Tab.
"View by Peer" allows you to select a peer, and view Peering DB information and all ProVision sessions for that Peer.
"View by Exchange" returns you to the standard Peering Tab view, with Peer sessions organized under each exchange.

 

To see "View by Peer", navigate to the ProVision Peering Tab. At the top left of the page, click the "View by Peer" button.

On the "View by Peer" page, click on a Peer from the list on the left. You may also filter the list by typing a few characters from the Peer name into the filter box.

Once a Peer is selected, View information and sessions for that peer by clicking on the "Info" and "Sessions" tabs at the top of the center information panel.

When done, return to the main Peering Tab by clicking on the "View by Exchange" toggle at the top of the page.

CPNR Updates:

CPNR Updates include:

  • Added a check to ensure CPNR modules in ProVision are reachable prior to Push
  • Option 43 is now integrated
  • scope_upsert call now is taking 2 new parameters "option_43_name" and "option_43_value". 
    • The "option_43_name" must be predefined inside CPNR (Design->Options) 
    • "option_43_value" should be the value that is going to be set for the Scope for example "241 11.22.33.44"  (typically 241 followed by the IP). 

 

DNS APIv1 Updates

To support the release of DNSv3, the following updates have been made to DNS APIv1 endpoints:

  • As of DNSv3, zones are now considered their own resource. Thus, DNS APIv1 zone parameters "zoneResourceId", "updateZoneResourceId", and "deleteZoneResourceId" now refer to (and equal) the zone ID instead of the parent resource ID, and are no longer editable values. 
  • The DNS Zone Control "GET" optional parameters "selectOffset" and "sortArray" have been removed. 
  • DNS Zone Tags are no longer supported. Zone Tag parameters under target=zone and target=record have been removed.



IPAM APIv1 Updates:

Get:The following updates have been made to IPAM APIv1 "get" endpoint. Valid tagsMode options are now "strict", "exclude", "intersection", and "union". See API Module - IPAM for additional details.

  • If tagsMode is omitted from an IPAM Get request, the mode defaults to 'intersection'
  • tagsMode=union has been implemented for IPAM Get.  It selects any block which has any one of the tags. 
  • tagsMode=intersection matches any blocks which has all of the tags. 

  • tagsMode=strict and tagsMode=exclude remain unchanged.


smartAssign: if the phrase "assignedResourceId=ignore" is supplied, then a matching IP block is selected from the Available pool or any sub-assignable block on any resource.

 

Bug Fixes/Improvements

IM-2472: Resolved an API issue where a parent block could be direct assigned if specified by ID.

IM - 2487: Resolved an issue that occurred when a non-address string was provided for a Region's Address field. Non-address addresses will now default to global zero positioning on the IPAM Map.

IM - 2486: IPAM APIv1, the parameter tags_mode="strict" has been updated return only blocks with no tags, if no tags are specified in the call.
