With NeDi 2.6, Remo Rickli is continuing the consistent development of his network discovery and management solution. The new release brings a number of improvements that make daily network operations even more efficient and transparent.

New features & improvements

✔ New asset report module

NeDi 2.6 includes a completely new reporting module that allows network assets to be broken down in detail and evaluated in conjunction with end-of-life information.
The module helps administrators automate lifecycle management and keep track of obsolete or critical components.

✔ Improved LDAP/TLS configuration

Based on feedback from the community, the LDAP connection has been modernized.
New in NeDi 2.6 is a configurable TLS switch that offers more flexibility, especially in environments where TLS must be deliberately disabled or finely controlled.

✔ Extensions in device support

As part of the release, additional device and platform definitions have been integrated to further improve the detection and classification of modern network hardware. (For example, numerous new classifications were already prepared in previous versions and finalized in 2.6.)

✔ Improved stability and performance

NeDi 2.6 focuses more on optimized core functions and improves the reliability of discovery processes. Many minor fixes and adjustments in the backend ensure a more stable environment—especially in conjunction with current PHP versions.
