Rogue endpoint exception list support for bridge domains and L3Outs

You can create a global rogue/COOP exception list, which excludes a MAC address from rogue endpoint control on all the bridge domains on which the MAC address is discovered, and you can create a rogue/COOP exception list for L3Outs. You can also exclude all MAC addresses for a bridge domain or L3Out. This simplifies creating the exception list when you want to make an exception for every MAC address; you do not need to enter each address individually.

Cisco Nexus 9000 switch secure erase

Cisco Nexus 9000 switches utilize persistent storage to maintain system software images, switch configuration, software logs, and operational history. Each of these areas can contain user-specific information such as details on network architecture and design, and potential target vectors for would-be attackers. The secure erase feature enables you comprehensively to erase this information, which you can do when you return a switch with return merchandise authorization (RMA), upgrade or replace a switch, or decommission a system that has reached its end-of-life.
