Dynamic BGP peering
Before AOS-CX 10.11, each BGP peer IP address must be statically configured as a specific neighbor. With the Dynamic BGP peering feature, AOS-CX dynamically establishes peering with a group of remote neighbors that are configured using a range of IP addresses and BGP peer group : Instead of being configured individually in the BGP neighbors table, BGP dynamic neighbors are configured as ranges of remote addresses with associated peer groups After a subnet range is configured for a BGP peer group and a TCP session is initiated by a remote peer using an IP address in the specified subnet range, a new BGP neighbor is dynamically created as a member of that group, if it has been accepted.

Host to Switch MACsec
Media Access Control security (MACsec) provides Layer 2 security for wired LANs, protecting network communications against a range of attacks including: denial of service, intrusion, man-in-the-middle, and eavesdropping. These attacks exploit Layer 2 vulnerabilities and often cannot be detected. MACsec appends a header and tail to all Ethernet frames, and encrypts data payload within the frame. Receiving device checks header and tail for integrity. If the check fails, traffic is dropped. If the check is successful, the frame is encrypted.

Support for LACP fallback
LACP Fallback feature provides a configuration mechanism for dynamic LAGs to enable non-bonded interfaces that would otherwise be blocked due to the absence of any LACP BPDUs received from the peer LACP fallback was first introduced into AOS-CX 10.02.0020 Initial support was limited to VSX multi-chassis LAG interfaces only The new CLI command to enable the feature on non-VSX Dynamic LAGs is called lacp fallback-static The pre-existing CLI command lacp fallback is retained for support with VSX Supported Platforms Now starting with AOS-CX 10.11, the feature has been extended to other Dynamic LAGs on the following platforms: OVA, 4100, 6000, 6100, 6200, 6300, 6400, 8320, 8325, 8360, 9300, 10000
