Aviz Networks details ONES 3.1 GUI fabric orchestration

ONES 3.1 replaces YAML fabric configuration with a GUI drag-and-drop orchestration interface that centralizes device onboarding, topology visualization and configuration at fabric, switch and port levels for small and mid-sized enterprises operations.

Product update

ONES 3.1 shifts the fabric management workflow from intent-based YAML templates to a graphical interface that presents topology and configuration controls in a single view.

The release adds GUI-based orchestration for protocol and design workflows, including Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) CLOS deployments, within the same management plane.

Key findings

The update replaces manual file edits with a visual design model, supports link and interface configuration from the topology view, and exposes configuration scope down to switch and port levels.

Technical breakdown

The interface provides drag-and-drop placement of devices, visual linking of interfaces, and direct editing of configuration attributes from the topology canvas.

Configuration changes apply through the orchestration engine rather than by editing YAML files, and monitoring and status information are available from the dashboard view.

Device onboarding

Administrators can add inventory items into the topology workspace, select device interfaces, and create connections through the GUI workflow.

The system accepts external devices by credential entry and basic network layer details, after which those devices appear in the orchestration workspace for configuration.

Day 2 operations

ONES 3.1 lets operators modify deployed templates or assemble new templates in the GUI, enabling updates without reconstructing configurations from files.

Template updates and fabric edits can be applied through the interface to support change windows and incremental operational tasks.

Operational impact

The release reduces reliance on manual YAML edits, consolidates topology and configuration tasks into one toolset, and targets organizations that prefer a visual workflow for deployment and maintenance.
