Release Notes 1.12.6
Release Date: September 5, 2017
The 1.12.6 release is a small incremental update that includes all hotfixes from prior releases and addresses all known support cases at the time of release.
We recommend you upgrade to 1.12.6 if you were impacted by any issues fixed in this release.
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 1.12.5. Additionally, 1.12.6 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 1.12.6, you should upgrade to 1.12.6 first, then proceed with the upgrade to 2.0. This step is not required for upgrades to 2.0.1 or above.
Fixes
| ID | Component | Resolution |

Known Issues
| ID | Component | Description |
|---|---|---|
| DEV-6068 | HIPserver | If the Windows firewall is enabled for a HIPserver, the HIPserver may not
uninstall correctly, leaving the HIPserver firewall rules on Windows
Server. Workaround: None |
| DEV-6005 | Conductor, AWS | When creating a new subnet, it is not explicitly associated with a route table,
which can cause the subnet to incorrectly associate with the main route table for
the virtual private cloud. Workaround:
|
| DEV-5960 | HIPswitch | Logging in to a HIPswitch from the console using macinfo
will result in a command not found error. Note: This issue
was fixed for the Conductor in this release. Workaround: None. |
| 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. |
| 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-4581 | Conductor | Configuring a standby HA Conductor may take a significant amount of time. |
| 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-4537 | Conductor | When demoting a master Conductor to standby, the processing screen might not
correctly update. 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
broken link page. Workaround: Wait a few minutes and refresh your browser. |
| DEV-4514 | Conductor | After a HIPswitch is factory reset, its devices may still appear in the
Conductor user interface. Workaround: Refresh your browser. |
| DEV-4494 | Conductor | Rebooting HIPswitches from the group Reboot menu may not display their offline status correctly. |
| 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-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-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-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-4028 | API | When making a POST call to /api/v1/people, the role attribute is set to viewer regardless of the role specified. |
| DEV-3342 | Conductor | When configuring a HIPswitch, the firewall settings page may become
unresponsive. Workaround: Refresh the browser and try the operation again. |
| 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-1994 | HIPswitch | When modifying an existing Serial over IP configuration, you must reboot the HIPswitch to apply the new configuration settings. |
