What’s New in NetQ 4.16
NetQ 4.16.0 includes the following new features:
Release Considerations
- When you upgrade to NetQ v4.15.0, any pre-existing validation data will be lost. Additionally, NetQ will not retain data related to network services (including BGP, LLDP, EVPN, and MLAG) after upgrading.
- You must upgrade cloud (OPTA) deployments to NetQ 4.15 before initiating a switch discovery.
Upgrade Paths
You can upgrade to NetQ 4.15 if your deployment is running version 4.14 or 4.13. For on-premises and cloud deployments, back up your NetQ data, then concurrently restore your data and upgrade NetQ during a new NetQ 4.15 installation
Compatible Agent Versions
The NetQ 4.16 server is compatible with NetQ agents 4.16 and 4.15. You can install NetQ agents on switches and servers running:
- Cumulus Linux
- Ubuntu 24.04, 22.04
NVIDIA recommends upgrading to the latest agent version. The NetQ agent is not compatible with Broadcom switches. Reach out to your NVIDIA support representative if your networking environment requires Broadcom support.
