What’s New in NetQ 4.6.0

- Full support for Precision Time Protocol monitoring via the UI and CLI.
- Enhanced RoCE validation checks and monitoring for NVUE-enabled switches. The

command now checks for mismatches for switch priority, cable length, and congestion control. - Expanded table options that allow you to export and download tables that exceed 10,000 rows as a CSV file.
