26.7.0 - Jul 21

Released: 2026-07-21

We are happy to announce the following enhancements to NQE as part of release 26.7.0.

See the full release notes for Forward Enterprise version 26.7.0.

What's Fixed​

  • BUGX-3207 - In multi-account AWS setups, each collected account now appears as its own CloudAccount in the cloudAccounts field of Network, with its collected field set correctly. Previously, the accounts were merged into a single CloudAccount, so most accounts were reported with collected set to false even though they were included in the collection.

Command Changes​

  • FWDN-12601 - The Command with CommandType value CONFIG was modified for the OS value FORTINET in some cases by adding show system geneve in the Outputs of a Device.
  • FWDN-12572 - The Command with CommandType value SWITCHPORT_STATE now exists for the OS value CHECKPOINT in the Outputs of a Device.
  • FWDN-12572 - The Command with CommandType value BRIDGE_INTERFACES was modified for the OS value CHECKPOINT in some cases by adding show bridges in the Outputs of a Device.
  • FWDN-12572 - The Command with CommandType value INVENTORY was modified for the OS value CHECKPOINT in some cases by adding show diag in the Outputs of a Device.
  • FWDN-12572 - The Command with CommandType value VERSION was modified for the OS value CHECKPOINT in some cases by adding show software-version in the Outputs of a Device.
  • FWDN-12572 - The Command with CommandType value UPTIME was modified for the OS value CHECKPOINT in some cases by adding uptime in the Outputs of a Device.
  • FWD-55134 - Commands now exist for the OS value VERSA in the Outputs of a Device.
  • BUGX-3304 - The Command with CommandType value VLAN_LIST was modified for the OS values IOS and IOS_XE in some cases by adding show vlan-switch in the Outputs of a Device.
