Description
Cisco WAE Collector
Enhancements
● Discovery
● Usability
Newly discovered nodes are automatically added to the node list.
Node collection can be based on IP addressing.
Collections can be configured to run at user-specified times.
User interface is consistent across the Cisco MATE portfolio.
The current configuration can be reset or cleared.
Cisco MATE Design
Simulation Enhancements
● Fast Reroute (FRR)
● Segment Routing
● Autobandwidth
● LSPs use Interior Gateway
● Segment Routing
● Autobandwidth
● LSPs use Interior Gateway
Protocol (IGP) metric
FRR can be configured with Shared Risk Link Groups (SRLG) awareness.
Segment routing can be added to Label Switched Paths (LSPs).
LSPs can be configured with Autobandwidth.
LSPs can also be configured to use IGP metrics as well as TE metrics for
constrained shorted path first (CSPF) calculations

constraints.
Layer 1 circuits can be bulk mapped to Layer 3 circuits.
Visualization
Sites can be nested within other sites to simplify plots.
Cisco MATE Live
Hardware Inventory
This hierarchical representation of the current hardware in the network and
how it is interconnected can be used to determine available slots, cards, or
ports to accommodate future growth.
