This topic describes the new features and improvements included in the NetMRI 7.5.3 release.
IPAM Sync
Downloading CSV Files with NetMRI Discovery Data
You can now generate and review IPAM Sync Data before syncing it to NIOS IPAM. For more information, see Generating and Downloading CSV Files with NetMRI Discovery Data.
Excluding Devices with Unmapped VRFs
We added an advanced setting for excluding devices with unmapped VRFs from IPAM Sync. For more information, see Configuring IPAM Sync.
User Roles
We added a new user role: Polling Admin. Polling admins can configure device polling and have full access to the following features: Collection and Groups, Discovery Settings, SDN/SD-WAN Polling, Proxy Settings, Credentials, Device Support Bundles, MIB Management, and Device Collection Status. For more information, see Understanding Users and Roles.
System Health Alerts
We added the View: System Health Banner privilege to all roles except FindIT. To hide system health alerts for specific roles, remove the roles’ privilege to view system health banners. For more information, see Privilege Descriptions.
Database Maintenance
You can now disable or enable database archiving during weekly maintenance. For more information, see Performing Database Maintenance.
User Authentication
The NetMRI API now only allows the POST method for user authentication.
Network Discovery
To avoid overloading SDN controllers, we disabled the Discover Now and Discover Next buttons for SDN elements on the Network Explorer > Discovery and Device Viewer > Settings & Status > Management Status pages.
Usernames
Usernames can now contain periods (.).
Connecting a Sandbox to NetMRI
Users can now connect the sandbox to NetMRI over port 443 using Perl API.
Template configuration
We made the import error messages more informative on the Config Management > Job Management > Config Templates.
Administrative shell commands
The debug show-active
command now lists devices with enabled SNMP debug. For more information, see debug command.
Device Inventory
The Inventory page now displays serial numbers of the discovered fabric extenders.
Performance
We improved the NetMRI performance and stability.
