Release Notes 1.12.5
Release Date: July 10, 2017
The 1.12.5 release includes all hotfixes from prior releases and addresses all known support cases at the time of release.
We recommend you upgrade to 1.12.5 if you were impacted by any issues discovered in prior releases, especially if you have any of the following:
- A deployment that includes the HIPswitch 200 platform
- A deployment that includes the HIPswitch 100g model, all cellular carriers
- Any deployments that require simultaneous use of HIPclients and third-party VPN software
Extensive testing was conducted both in-house and with selected development partners, in lab and in production environments to ensure that performance is equivalent to 1.12.4. Additionally, 1.12.5 should be more stable than all prior 1.12.x releases.
Upgrade Considerations
If you are upgrading from a prior release you should review the following information:
- A HIPswitch running 1.11 can only be updated to 1.12 with a Conductor running 1.12 or higher. Update your Conductor before updating your HIPswitches from 1.11.
- If you are upgrading to 2.0 from a release prior to 1.12.5, you should upgrade to 1.12.5 first, then proceed with the upgrade to 2.0. This step is not required for upgrades to 2.0.1 or above.
Enhancements
| ID | Component | Description |
|---|---|---|
| DEV-5096 | HIPclient | The HIPclient now allows you to configure a specific TAP adapter from a drop-down list on systems with multiple TAP adapters installed. This feature can be accessed by selecting Configuration from the system tray. |
Fixes
| ID | Component | Resolution |
|---|---|---|
| DEV-2022 | Conductor | Fixed an issue where the Conductor user interface may not return to the Dashboard after completing the configuration on two HIPswitch Conductors in a High Availability pair. |
| DEV-3812 | Conductor | Fixed an issue where selecting Enter on the configuration dialog adds a route instead of submitting changes. |

Known Issues
| ID | Component | Description |
|---|---|---|
| DEV-1994 | HIPswitch | When modifying an existing Serial over IP configuration, you must reboot the HIPswitch to apply the new configuration settings. |
| DEV-2417 | Conductor UI | The password reset email link defaults to the first web enabled interface, and will be successful only if an administrator configures the first interface with a publicly-facing default route. |
| DEV-3342 | Conductor | When configuring a HIPswitch, the firewall settings page may become
unresponsive. Workaround: Refresh the browser and try the operation again. |
| DEV-4028 | API | When making a POST call to /api/v1/people, the role attribute is set to viewer regardless of the role specified. |
| DEV-4170 | Conductor UI | The Shared throughput and Overlay throughput graphs in the Graphs section of the Reporting tab may show a drop in traffic after a HIPswitch is rebooted until the next collection interval occurs. |
| DEV-4188 | HIPswitch (Cellular) | In the Graphs section of the Reporting tab, several graphs are available to older HIPswitch 200g models with an Option Cellular card that are not applicable, such as LTE, CDMA, Cell temperature, etc. These graphs will not display data. |
| DEV-4418 | Conductor UI | HIPswitch 100 series units do not support specifying VLAN tags in the Port assignment view. Additionally, you cannot specify an MTU in excess of 1500. |
| DEV-4493 | Conductor | When using the Conductor user interface, a browser JavaScript exception may cause the interface to function incorrectly. If this occurs, click the refresh button in your browser. |
| DEV-4494 | Conductor | Rebooting HIPswitches from the group Reboot menu may not display their offline status correctly. |
| DEV-4514 | Conductor | After a HIPswitch is factory reset, its devices may still appear in the
Conductor user interface. Workaround: Refresh your browser. |
| DEV-4535 | Conductor | When upgrading an HA-paired standby Conductor, the Return to
Dashboard link is shown prematurely. Clicking the link results in a

correctly update. Workaround: Refresh your browser. |
| DEV-4573 | Conductor | Cloud HIPswitches may not display the correct icon in the user interface if they are on firmware version 1.12.3 or below. |
| DEV-4581 | Conductor | Configuring a standby HA Conductor may take a significant amount of time. |
| DEV-4588 | Conductor | When configuring a standby HA Conductor, the list of firmware updates present in the system on the standby might not necessarily be available if promoted to be the master. |
| DEV-5010 | HIPswitch | If a static IP is configured on a HIPswitch, failover between cellular or WiFi to a wired connection does not complete successfully. |
