Release Notes v3.1.2

Release Date: November 30, 2022

Update Considerations

Important: Update downtime – When you update a Conductor, there may be database and configuration changes related to the new release that require Airwall Edge Services to update their configuration data, resulting in downtime while secure tunnels are re-established. Downtime is typically up to, and in most cases is much less than, two minutes.

This update addresses the following issues:

  • Map server deadlock.
  • Remote logging failure.
  • M2 chatter reduction.
  • JsonRPC server deadlock.
  • MAC address validation.

New Features

  • New airsh command allows a user to see the port group IDs using conf net list, see Airshell (airsh) Command Reference.
  • On an Airwall details view you can now see which overlay networks use managed relay rules.

Deprecations

Deprecating system setting for Preferred Airwall agent version. This setting indicated what version of the Airwall agent would be linked from the remote user access portal. Beginning in v3.2, only the most recent version of each Airwall agent will be available. Customers that want to distribute older versions of the Airwall agent can still make those available to their users.

Known Issues

ID Applies to Description
DEV-18144 Conductor The Connectivity Checker.
DEV-17648 Cloud, Conductor If you use unrecognized credentials when calling jobs on a cloud Airwall Gateway, the Conductor sends multiple error messages when it tries to call route injection and validate cloud attributes. Workaround -- Make sure your cloud credentials are correct and update the credentials on the "Cloud providers" page under Conductor settings.
DEV-17648 HIPapp-Linux Many Airshell functions (including changing log level) are non-functional until you have configured and licensed your Conductor.
DEV-17582 HIPswitch Currently DNS bypass is not HA aware, on a HA failover the contents of the DNS cache are lost and traffic will be blocked until the protected device queries for the DNS name again.
DEV-17263 Conductor

If you fix a conflict in a smart device group by changing the IP of one of the conflicted devices, sometimes the change in IP does not result in the device being removed from the group and the change is not propagated to the Airwall Gateway.

Workaround – Fully remove the device from the smart device group and then add it back again.

DEV-16431 Conductor When specifying a port mirror destination IP address, ensure that it doesn't conflict with any of the Airwall Gateway's local device IPs
DEV-16397 Conductor If you change the LSI prefix and have port mirroring configured, you need to either reboot the Conductor, or go to Settings > Diagnostics and select Restart metadata cache to update the LSI prefix.
DEV-16068 Amazon Web Services Conductor To enable enhanced networking for a cloud Amazon Web Services Airwall Gateway or Conductor, use the custom images instead of the marketplace image.
DEV-16067 Cloud, Conductor, Airwall Gateways If you are adding a new interface to an existing cloud Airwall Gateway, you must set the source and destination check to false (see your cloud provider for the terminology they use for source and destination checks).
DEV-16059 Airwall Gateways When HA-pairing two Airwall Gateways that do not have the HA link plugged in correctly, the Conductor displays no actionable error message and the HA setup never completes.
DEV-15982 Conductor Traffic stats reporting graphs generally show a smooth curve between data points. However, over time the graph can show up with sharper angles. The data is still correct, but this is a known issue with the graphing library used by the Conductor.
DEV-15945 Airwall Gateways If you configure port mirroring using a remote destination local device, GRE/ERSPAN traffic from remote Airwall Gateways will arrive with a source IP in the LSI prefix (defaults to 1.0.0.0/8).
DEV-15923 Airwall Gateways When you run Check secure tunnels on a v3.0 Airwall Gateway, the check falsely reports a bad tunnel status for any peer airwall running a firmware version that is v2.2.8 or lower.
DEV-15887 Airwall Gateways You cannot currently add VLAN interfaces to the Ruggedcom platform.
DEV-15808 Google Cloud Airwall Gateways Google Cloud Airwall Gateways with the same VM name have the same device serial number, which can result in a failure when you make a license request in the Conductor.

Workaround – In Google Cloud, use unique deployment names (VM names) for Airwall Gateways.

DEV-15572 Airwall Gateways If you do not specify a gateway in the DHCP server configuration, the DHCP client cannot configure a default gateway.

Workaround – Unless you want to configure a single isolated subnet, always specify a gateway. For example, a subnet for networked PDUs that should not have any outside connectivity aside from remote access through an Airwall Gateway, and used in conjunction with SNAT over the overlay port group. See https://tempered.force.com/TemperedSupportCenter/s/article/DHCP-server-isn-t-serving-as-a-gateway.

DEV-15219 Cellular 110g Airwall Gateways The Airwall Gateway 110g does not work on the Bell Mobility (Canada) cellular provider because they require the use of a http/https proxy.
DEV-15031 Airwall Gateways Remote syslog over TLS doesn't work when using keys stored in TPM.
DEV-14860 Conductor Airwall Gateways on older firmware (pre v2.2.0) may send passively-discovered device events to the Conductor even when the feature is off.
DEV-14835 Conductor Airwall Gateway 150 serial numbers look like exponentiated numbers to Windows Excel, so the column displaying the Serial number shows xxxEyyy instead of the full serial number.
DEV-14736 Cellular Airwall Gateways Cellular details may display as "unavailable" on the first boot after you update anAirwall Gateway. The cellular connections are not affected.

Workaround – Reboot the Airwall Gateway again to correctly display the cellular details.

DEV-14726 Conductor If you are viewing an Android Airwall Agent Ports tab and the Airwall Agent changes how it is connected to the Conductor (for example, from WiFi to cellular), the display does not update correctly.

Workaround – Refresh the page.

DEV-14610 Conductor After changing the Reporting traffic stats reporting time, the CPU graph does not display.

Workaround – Refresh your browser page.

DEV-14584 Cellular Airwall Gateways Hot-swapping the SIM on an Airwall Gateway 110 with firmware version v2.2.11 may not work.

Workaround – Reboot the Airwall Gateway after installing a new SIM card.

DEV-14551 Conductor The Android Airwall Agent lets you press the Edit Settings button on the Ports page; however, submitting any changes to the page results in an error message.
DEV-14426 Conductor, Airwall Gateways Bypass destinations with a hostname do not show device activity in the Conductor.
DEV-14308 OpenHIP Initial packets are dropped while building a new tunnel to a new peer Airwall Gateway.
DEV-14223 Google Cloud Add an overlay IP to agent in order to talk to device behind Google 300v.
DEV-14218 Airwall Gateways NAT broadcast applied to traffic between ports within a single port group. Use an external switch if you need to connect multiple devices to a single port group and use the NAT broadcast feature and require IP broadcast un-NATed between those local devices.
DEV-14015 OpenHIP If an Airwall Relay is also used as a bypass gateway, Airwall Edge Services behind the relay are not able to use that relay.

Workaround – Deploy multiple relays so at least one relay is usable by each pair of Airwall Edge Services that need to communicate.

DEV-13775 Azure Cloud Airwall Gateways The Conductor might rarely give a "Net::ReadTimeout" error when you try to deploy an Azure Airwall Gateway 300v or server. This error doesn't indicate that the deployment has failed. If you get this error message, go to Azure portal and check the actual deployment result.
DEV-13650 Conductor SoIP device activity is not being reported on an Airwall Gateway Local Devices tab.
DEV-13640 Conductor Airwall Relay diagnostics do not work on a Standby Conductor.
DEV-13633 Conductor A standby Conductor shows available firmware downloads, but they cannot be downloaded.

Workaround – Download firmware from the active Conductor.

DEV-13620 Conductor In Airwall > Ports > Failover settings, the failover ping occurs only every "ping rate" + "ping timeout" seconds, somewhat unexpectedly.
DEV-13607 Conductor, Airwall Gateways Creating a link failover group (Airwall > Ports > Failover settings) does not apply the settings to any port groups. You must also assign the failover group to port groups on the Ports page.
DEV-13588 Conductor Opening the Conductor on Internet Explorer 11 can be very slow for medium to large deployments.

Workaround – Use the latest version of Chrome, Firefox, or Edge instead.

DEV-13531 Cloud Conductor Automatically creating Cloud HA Conductors only works if you use the same cloud provider for both active and standby Conductors. For example, AWS HA Active and AWS HA Standby.

Workaround – You can manually set up different cloud providers as HA pair Conductors.

DEV-13474 Airwall Gateways If you configure multiple overlay port groups with the same overlay IP subnet (same or different IP addresses) and then create a local device equal to the entire subnet with port affinity set, it may not lead to the expected result.
DEV-13331 Alibaba Cloud Airwall Gateways The Alibaba Cloud Conductor system time is incorrect.

Workaround – Change the Conductor system time to browser time: In Conductor Settings, under System time, select Edit Settings, select Set browser time, and then select Update Settings.

DEV-13195 Conductor, Airwall Gateways When you upgrade a Cellular Airwall Gateway-150 from 2.2.3 to 2.2.5, the cellular details all become "Unavailable."

Workaround – Reboot and the details return.

DEV-13194 Conductor Check Connectivity > Ping Local Devices for an Airwall Gateway fails in Internet Explorer 11 if one of the devices is defined as a CIDR.

Workaround – Use one of the latest versions of Chrome, Firefox, Safari or Edge.

DEV-10590 Cloud Airwall Gateways The Conductor does not display an error when adding a route that would exceed the maximum number of allowed routes in the cloud provider.
DEV-10039 Airwall Gateways An Airwall Gateway-150 can show "could not detect attached switch" intermittently.
DEV-9546 Airwall Gateways, Airwall Gateways 150 The Airwall Gateway-150 serial connection has an intermittent issue when large amounts of data are sent over the console.
