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 Maestro 3.1 Demo VM
IP Maestro 3.1 introduces a downloadable Demo VM — enabling teams to evaluate the EMS in their own environment before deployment. The Demo VM includes the complete IP Maestro application stack with pre-configured sample topologies. Download the IP Maestro Demo VM.
