IP Maestro 3.1 introduces a downloadable Demo VM — enabling customers, partners, and evaluators to explore the IP Maestro Element Management System in their own environment without requiring a full production OcNOS deployment first. The Demo VM is available for free download from the IP Infusion website.
What the IP Maestro Demo VM Includes
- Complete IP Maestro application — the full IP Maestro 3.1 stack including the web UI, API server, database, and Docker Compose orchestration
- Pre-configured sample topology — a simulated 6-node OcNOS network with pre-populated device inventory, topology map, and sample alarm data for UI exploration
- OcNOS VM integration — connects directly to real OcNOS Demo VMs if you want to manage actual device state rather than simulated data
- REST API access — the northbound REST API is fully functional, allowing developers to test automation integrations against the Demo VM before connecting to production
Getting Started

IP Infusion Product Team
IP Infusion announces the general availability of IP Maestro 3.1 — the latest release of the Element Management System for OcNOS-based networks. This release is defined by a single insight: production networks are not homogeneous. Most IP Maestro deployments exist in brownfield environments where OcNOS devices coexist with legacy switches, routers, and other vendors’ equipment. IP Maestro 3.1 addresses this directly.
What’s New in IP Maestro 3.1
Third-Party Device Mapping
IP Maestro 3.1 allows non-OcNOS devices — legacy routers, third-party switches, passive DWDM equipment — to be added to the IP Maestro topology view as contextual nodes. While these devices cannot be managed via IP Maestro (no NETCONF/gNMI push), their presence in the topology gives operators a complete network map rather than a partial view showing only OcNOS nodes.
This is particularly valuable for operations teams managing large networks where OcNOS coexists with legacy proprietary hardware during a multi-year migration program.
Enhanced Automation and Bulk Operations
IP Maestro 3.1 expands bulk configuration capabilities: operators can select multiple OcNOS devices and push a configuration template simultaneously, with per-device variable substitution (hostname, loopback address, SID index) handled automatically. This reduces the time to provision a new OcNOS platform from minutes of manual CLI work to seconds of template-driven automation.
Improved Multi-Site Visibility
IP Maestro 3.1 delivers improved multi-site topology visualization, making it easier for operators managing geographically distributed OcNOS deployments to understand topology at both regional and per-site granularity from a single dashboard.

IP Infusion Product Team
IP Infusion announces the general availability of IP Maestro 3.0 — a significant release that opens IP Maestro to external systems via REST APIs and adds key operational capabilities requested by customers managing large OcNOS deployments.
What’s New in IP Maestro 3.0
Northbound REST API Integration
IP Maestro 3.0 introduces a northbound REST API that enables orchestration systems, OSS/BSS platforms, and custom management applications to interact with IP Maestro programmatically. Typical network deployments include management controllers from multiple vendors; the REST API allows IP Maestro to participate as a managed component in multi-vendor orchestration workflows.
# IP Maestro 3.0 REST API example: retrieve device list
curl -X GET https://ipma-server:8443/api/v1/devices -H "Authorization: Bearer ${IPMA_TOKEN}" -H "Content-Type: application/json"
# Response includes: device ID, hostname, IP, platform, OcNOS version, status
# Push configuration to a specific device:
curl -X POST https://ipma-server:8443/api/v1/devices/${DEVICE_ID}/config -H "Authorization: Bearer ${IPMA_TOKEN}" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"config_type": "cli", "config_text": "interface eth-0-1
description Uplink
"}'
Text Config Push: CLI and JSON
IP Maestro 3.0 adds direct text configuration push — operators can paste CLI configuration blocks or JSON-formatted YANG payloads directly into the IP Maestro interface and push them to one or more devices simultaneously. This bridges the gap between CLI-native engineers who prefer direct config text and GUI-native operations teams who prefer the IP Maestro workflow.
Streaming Telemetry Support
IP Maestro 3.0 integrates with OcNOS gNMI streaming telemetry, displaying real-time interface counters, queue depths, and BGP session states directly in the management dashboard — without requiring a separate telemetry collector deployment for basic operational visibility.
Japanese Language Support
IP Maestro 3.0 adds full Japanese language support for the management UI, reflecting IP Infusion’s strong customer base in Japan and the Asia-Pacific region.
Show Tech Support
IP Maestro 3.0 can trigger and collect “show tech-support” output from OcNOS devices directly from the GUI, collecting diagnostic information from multiple devices simultaneously for TAC escalation or internal troubleshooting.
IP Infusion Product Team
IP Infusion announces the general availability of IP Maestro 2.0 — the Element Management System (EMS) for managing and monitoring OcNOS-based network elements. IP Maestro provides a point-and-click graphical interface that complements the OcNOS CLI, giving network operations teams a visual alternative for device management, fault monitoring, and configuration tasks without requiring deep CLI expertise.
What’s New in IP Maestro 2.0
Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) with LDAP
IP Maestro 2.0 introduces RBAC with LDAP authentication, allowing network administrators to control access to management functions based on user roles defined in their existing Active Directory or LDAP infrastructure. Network operations staff can monitor device status and acknowledge alarms without the ability to push configuration changes — a critical capability for multi-team environments.
Configuration Management Enhancements
IP Maestro 2.0 improves configuration push workflows with better diff visualization — showing exactly what configuration changes will be applied to each device before committing. Configuration templates allow common configuration patterns to be applied across multiple devices simultaneously.
Fault Management
The updated fault management dashboard provides real-time alarm visualization with severity-based filtering, alarm acknowledgment workflows, and historical alarm analysis. Network operations teams can quickly identify which alarms require immediate attention versus which have been acknowledged and are under investigation.
Device Management
IP Maestro 2.0 expands device inventory management with improved platform support across the OcNOS hardware portfolio, automated software version tracking, and clearer device health dashboards showing key metrics including CPU utilization, memory, and interface error rates.
