Management
One convenient Web Manager/CLI/SNMP user interface
Director and Director Pro are now easier to manage in the same environment because Web Manager works with both. Plus—the same aliases and port names are visible and manageable for all users of Web Manager and CLI.
Enhanced SNMP MIB and more
SNMP now supports Director Pro attributes
Unified port names and aliases
The Director alias feature has been enriched to embrace port names and help you track which equipment is connected to which ports.
Capacity
Daisy chain Director and Director Pro
The single image that serves both Director and Director Pro now brings feature parity to the family, letting you extend your capabilities significantly and daisy chain up to eight Directors and two Director Pros.
Dramatically increased filter capacity
Quadruple your capacity in the standard combined configuration—or dedicate all filter resources to IPv4, IPv6 filters, or Layer 2 filters.
Control
Additional Load Balancing use cases supported, as traffic in the Pro engine load balancer can now be available for use in any other filter.
Director and Director Pro integration now enables two of the devices on a 10-device daisy chain to perform these sophisticated functions.
