image

  • Release date
    • Ver 2.5.4 -- 2025/10/9
    • Ver 2.5.4a -- 2025/10/16 - Fixed a bug in the exe file created by pyinstaller.

New Features

  • Export AI Context (Beta 2)
    Support for generating commands to change data in master files has been added. Changes to areas, L3 instances, VPNs, and flows are not supported. Network Sketcher itself does not provide AI functionality, but rather utilizes general-purpose LLMs such as Chat GPT and Gemini. Always make a backup of the master file before executing a command that changes the master file.

  • Add the following CLI Add/Delete/rename commands:
    add portchannel
    delete portchannel
    rename device
    rename port

V2.3.3(b)
  • Release date
    • Ver 2.3.3(b) -- 2024/12/17 -- Fixed a bug that caused generation of Layer 2 Diagram to fail. [ns-bug-012]
    • Ver 2.3.3(a) -- 2024/12/13 -- Fixed connectivity-oriented drawing of L3 configuration diagram
    • Ver 2.3.3 -- 2024/12/10

New Features

  • The drawing of L3 All Areas has been improved. Two patterns are created: area-oriented and connection-oriented.
    • Focus on Area draws the Area, so it is easy to grasp the whole picture, but there are cases where the connection line crosses over the device.
      image
    • Focus on Connection is more accurate, but does not draw the Area and is longer horizontally. *The following figures are for Ver 2.3.3 only, and have been drawn differently since Ver 2.3.3(a)
