Release Notes 2.0.1

Release Date: August 8, 2017

The 2.0.1 release includes all hotfixes from prior releases and addresses all known support cases at the time of release.

We recommend you upgrade to 2.0.1 if:

You want to take advantage of performance and stability increases in the 2.0.1 update, especially for the recently added features in 2.0:

  • HIPrelay
  • Smart Device Groups
  • Alerts and Events
  • PCI Compliance

You were impacted by any issues discovered in prior releases, especially if you have any of the following:

  • Problems with transparent mode on 100 and 200 series HIPswitches
  • HIPswitches configured for HA
  • Refresh issues with the Conductor user interface

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 2.0. Additionally, 2.0.1 should be more stable than all prior releases.

Upgrade Considerations

You can now upgrade directly to 2.0.1 from either 1.12.x or 2.0.

Fixes

ID Component Resolution

Fixed an issue where in rare cases, the identity data for a HIPswitch in the database was different from the data on the HIPswitch, preventing the HIPswitch from communicating with the Conductor.

DEV-5533 HIPswitch Fixed an issue where in rare cases, configuring a HIPswitch could result in corrupt policy metadata, causing the HIPswitch to disconnect and reconnect to IF-MAP repeatedly.
DEV-5532 HIPswitch Fixed an issue where upgrading a HIPswitch while in transparent mode would fail.

Known Issues

ID Component Description
DEV-5832 HIPswitch Device NAT functionality does not work with layer 2 traffic.
DEV-5530, DEV-5441 Conductor UI In some cases, Allow incoming pings (ICMP) and SYN Flood Protection on the Firewall page may be disabled and won't toggle.

Workaround: Refresh your browser to resolve the issue.

DEV-5529 HIPswitch If you add an invalid overlay route to a HIPswitch from the Conductor UI, the route will not be created on the HIPswitch and you will not receive a warning.

Workaround: None

DEV-5526 Conductor UI Occasionally, the Conductor UI will not display the recent activity of a local device correctly.

Workaround: Refresh your browser

DEV-5457 Conductor In the Conductor network settings, Default gateway is mislabeled as Default route. This will be fixed in a future update.
DEV-5448 Conductor UI Clicking the Swap roles button for a secondary HA-paired HIPswitch will cause the UI to stop responding.

Workaround: Refresh your browser.

DEV-5434 Conductor UI Clicking Detect Devices repeatedly on the HIPswitch properties page will generate excess traffic.

Workaround: Give the Conductor time to complete the operation.

DEV-5430 Conductor After configuring a Conductor for the first time, you may receive a Lost connection to the original server message if you select Return to setings too quickly.

Workaround. Wait at least 20 seconds before selecting Return to settings.

DEV-5428 Conductor UI When you create a SDG with Ignore auto-discovered devices until accepted checked, then uncheck after creation, the SDG will not pick up non-accepted devices.

Workaround: None

DEV-5368 Conductor UI Import devices has been removed from 2.0 and later. An improved version of the feature will be added in a future update.

Workaround: Tempered Networks Support can provide a tool enabling you to import a CSV, if required.

DEV-5343 Conductor UI If you try and log in after your session has timed out, you may receive the following error:

The change you wanted was rejected.

Workaround: Refresh your browser and log in.

DEV-5021 HIPswitch In some cases, a HIPswitch may factory reset if the reset button is held for close to 5 seconds.

Workaround: Don't hold the reset button for a full 5 seconds. Anything after 3 seconds should place the HIPswitch in diagnostic mode.

DEV-5010 HIPswitch A HIPswitch with a static IP does not failover between cellular/WiFi and wired interfaces successfully.

Workaround: None

DEV-5008 PCI Reporting PCI Reporting shows UUID data instead of object names when generating a PCI report from Settings > Advanced > PCI Reporting > Downloads > User Activities Report

Workaround: You will need to make API calls to the Conductor in order to capture the object data.

DEV-4846 HIPswitch If a HIPswitch is in port dual-use mode and device discovery is enabled, the HIPswitch will report an error.

Workaround: None

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.

Workaround: None.

Workaround: None.

DEV-1994 HIPswitch When modifying an existing serial over IP configuration, you must reboot the HIPswitch to apply the new configuration settings.
