## Source excerpt

netlab release 1.9.3 brings these new features: Multi-chassis Link Aggregation (MLAG) on Arista EOS, Aruba CX, Cumulus NVUE, and Dell OS10 VRF and VLAN groups Additional OSPF interface parameters (hello and dead timers, cleartext passwords, and DR priority) implemented on Arista EOS, Aruba CX, Cisco IOS/IOS-XE, Cisco Nexus OS, Cumulus Linux, Dell OS10, and FRRouting Static routes with direct or indirect next hops implemented on Arista EOS, Cisco IOS/IOS-XE, FRRouting, and Linux Node cloning plugin for users who want to build detailed digital twins of their networks. Consistent selection of default address pools based on the number of nodes attached to a link (this could change addressing in multi-provider topologies) Support for vjunos-router and Cisco NSO tool. Other new features include: Read more ...
