VMware’s Latest Release: NSX-v 6.3.6, Addressing Bug Fixes and Supporting Both Versions

Last week, VMware released NSX-v 6.3.6 (Build 8085122), a new version of its network virtualization platform that focuses on addressing several bug fixes from previous releases. This release is significant because it indicates that the company is still committed to supporting both versions of NSX, even though NSX-v 6.4.0 was released in January.

While there are no new features in this latest version, it’s good to see that VMware is actively addressing known issues and fixing them. The release notes for NSX-v 6.3.6 list several important fixes that may be of interest to service providers and other users. These include:

* Fixed an issue where the Distributed Firewall (DFW) would not permit traffic to flow between subnets when the DFW was configured with an Access Control List (ACL).

* Fixed an issue in which some packets were dropped when using the VXLAN tunnel.

* Resolved a problem where the log file would become corrupted and unreadable.

It’s important to note that there are still many known issues listed in the release notes, indicating that this version is not perfect and may still have some bugs that need to be addressed. However, it’s good to see that VMware is actively working on these issues and providing updates to fix them.

One interesting observation about this release is that despite the lack of new features, many users are still hesitant to upgrade to NSX-v 6.4.0. This suggests that there may be some compatibility or other issues with the newer version that need to be addressed before widespread adoption can occur.

Overall, the release of NSX-v 6.3.6 is a positive development for users who rely on this network virtualization platform. The fact that VMware is still supporting both versions indicates a commitment to ensuring that all users have access to stable and reliable technology. As always, it’s essential to review the release notes carefully before upgrading to ensure that any known issues or compatibility concerns are addressed beforehand.
