SCC-5357 Replacement of EdgeMarc 4550 with EdgeMarc 2900

EdgeMarc consumers can easily migrate to newer hardware platform (for eg: from older EdgeMarc 4550 to the latest EdgeMarc 2900 platform). EdgeView 15 uses ZTP for provisioning for the replacement EdgeMarc 2900.

SCC-6822 EdgeMarc 300 Series Platform Support

New EdgeMarc 300 series platform is supported.

Phase1: support includes features such as auto-provisioning through ZTP, limited information on the device details page and limited device action support, troubleshooting rules and a new SBC MAC address link to navigate to the EdgeMarc SBC page.

SCC-6036 EdgeMarc Hostname Syncing/Learning

When EdgeMarc is registered by default, EdgeView sets the device name on it as a combination of Device-type and MAC address. If EdgeMarc sends the hostname in the register request data using the hostname from its configuration files, then EdgeView uses the same hostname as EdgeMarc and not the default one.

SCC-5957 Key Items Required to run on EdgeView 15 Report

Three critical items namely, Total calls, Peak calls and Average MOS are run on a daily basis from EdgeView reports. It has the ability to run the report as well as send email in PDF formats.

SCC-6843 Default EdgeMarc Password Policy in EdgeView

This feature ensures that for an EdgeView 15.5 user, no EdgeMarc registered to the EdgeView has the default password. EdgeView changes the passwords for existing and newly registered EdgeMarcs with factory default password.

SCC-6558 On-demand Packet Capture 

This feature allows to collect packet capture for all WAN, LAN or both the interfaces on EdgeMarcs through EdgeView. User requests capture parameters like size, time & capture filters. EdgeMarc starts uploading pcap files to EdgeView which are stored in a single pcap file. When one of the conditions/parameters satisfies, then capture completes. The uploaded pcap data can then be downloaded from the UI for COMPLETE or FAILED captures, any.

SCC-6555 Collection Policy with Additional Capability

This new capability under the Collection Policy section allows provisioning defined to have multiple child services specific to that device, identified by a MAC.
