Release Notes

This release introduces enhanced VLAN management capabilities and SNAT configuration options for F5 virtual servers, along with important security documentation updates and bug fixes.

✨ New Features

VLAN Management

  • Virtual server VLAN assignment: Added ability to restrict virtual servers to specific VLANs using vserver set vlan VLANNAME
  • VLAN information retrieval: New capability to query VLAN assignments for existing virtual servers

SNAT Configuration

  • SNAT automap support: Virtual servers can now be configured with SNAT automap functionality for improved traffic management

📚 Documentation & Security

Security Enhancements

  • Critical security guidance: Added explicit warnings and examples about restricting virtual servers to specific VLANs to prevent security vulnerabilities
  • Updated examples: Enhanced documentation with practical examples showing proper VLAN configuration for nPath services

Installation Improvements

  • Fixed installation instructions: Corrected typo in bigsuds installation command (setyp.py → setup.py)

🐛 Bug Fixes

  • Syntax corrections: Fixed various syntax issues in code and documentation
  • Documentation consistency: Updated manual pages and help text to reflect new functionality

💡 Why This Matters

  • Enhanced Security: VLAN restrictions help prevent accidental exposure of services across network segments
  • Simplified Configuration: New commands reduce the complexity of configuring advanced F5 features
  • Better Documentation: Clearer installation instructions and security best practices help prevent common configuration mistakes

📖 Usage Examples

# Create a secure nPath service with VLAN restrictions
fapi vserver myvserver.example.com:443 create PROTOCOL_TCP nPath
fapi vserver myvserver.example.com:443 set pool foopool
fapi vserver myvserver.example.com:443 set vlan SECURE_VLAN

# Configure SNAT automap
fapi vserver myvserver.example.com:443 set snat automap
