Released: 2025-10-21
We are happy to announce the following enhancements to NQE as part of release 25.10.0.
See the full release notes for Forward Enterprise version 25.10.0.
What’s New
- Queries can now include an @primaryKey annotation in the main expression to define a primary key, making it easier to identify unique records in query results.
- The HeaderRegion type now includes a new domains field.
- AVAYA_ERS has been added as a value of the OS type, expanding support for Avaya devices.
What’s Fixed
- The IfaceType type now includes IF_BRIDGE. Switched virtual interfaces (SVIs) on devices running NXOS now correctly report interfaceType = IF_BRIDGE in the Iface data model.
- The Platform.osVersion field is now populated for F5 devices when the version follows the format 1.5.1-12283 and the operating system is F5OS. Because NQE does not yet define a dedicated OS value for F5OS, these devices currently use OS = UNKNOWN.
- Pretty printing now works correctly in more cases, including expressions with binary operators, when clauses, and parentheses.
Command Changes
- Huawei – Added Command definitions for the HUAWEI operating system in the Outputs of each Device.
- Juniper SRX – For CommandType = DNS_CACHE, the command now includes show host routing-instance {} {} in device outputs.
- F5 – For CommandType = CONFIG, new commands were added to improve visibility into SIP and HTTP/2 configurations:
- list ltm message-routing sip profile router
- list ltm message-routing sip profile session
- list ltm profile http2
- Aruba AOS-CX –
- For CommandType = BGP_PEERS, the command show bgp ip unicast neighbors has been replaced with show bgp ipv4 unicast neighbors.
- For CommandType = BGP_SUMMARY, the command show bgp ip unicast summary has been replaced with show bgp ipv4 unicast summary.
