SmartPath OS and SmartPath EMS VMA 4.1r5 Release Notes New Features and Enhancements in the 4.1r1 Releases The following are the new and enhanced features being introduced in the SmartPath OS and SmartPath EMS VMA 4.1r1 releases. LWN602WA for Outdoor Wi-Fi: The LWN602WA is a new platform for outdoor Wi-Fi deployments.
SmartPath OS and SmartPath EMS VMA 4.1r5 Release Notes The following change to default behavior was introduced in the 4.1r3 releases: • An AP determines whether a detected rogue AP is in its backhaul network by checking its MAC learning table for any entry within a range of 64 addresses above or 64 addresses below the BSSID of the invalid SSID. If it finds an address within that range, it determines the rogue to be in the same network and takes the action specified in the WIPS policy to mitigate it.
SmartPath OS and SmartPath EMS VMA 4.1r5 Release Notes Configure the DHCP server to supply the domain name of the CAPWAP server as DHCP option 225 or its IP address as option 226 in its DHCPOFFER. (If you use a domain name, the authoritative DNS server for that domain must also be configured with an “A” record that maps the domain name to an IP address for the CAPWAP server.) SmartPath APs request DHCP option 225 and 226 by default when they broadcast DHCPDISCOVER and DHCPREQUEST messages.
SmartPath OS and SmartPath EMS VMA 4.1r5 Release Notes If the SmartPath AP forms a CAPWAP connection with the Black Box redirection server and its serial number has been entered in an ACL, the redirection server automatically redirects its CAPWAP connection to the corresponding SmartPath EMS VMA Online (virtual SmartPath EMS VMA).

SmartPath OS and SmartPath EMS VMA 4.1r5 Release Notes 17026 When there were more than 1000 entries in a user OU in Active Directory, SmartPath EMS VMA was unable to display all the entries and would not display the User Profile field, making it impossible to map an OU to a user profile. 16963 If the private PSK user start time was later than the current time set on SmartPath EMS VMA, incorrect key lifetimes and user start times would be generated.
SmartPath OS and SmartPath EMS VMA 4.1r5 Release Notes • Certificates with special characters such as "(" and ")" could be imported into SmartPath EMS VMA but could not be uploaded to managed Black Box APs because SCP rejected the special characters. • SmartPath EMS VMA permitted you to upload a CA certificate to an AP even though it did not match the server certificate.
SmartPath OS and SmartPath EMS VMA 4.1r5 Release Notes Addressed Issues in SmartPath EMS VMA 4.1r1 15101 When the time zone for the SmartPath EMS VMA system was different from that for a private PSK user group, the private PSKs that SmartPath EMS VMA automatically generated were different from those that SmartPath APs generated. 14635 SmartPath EMS VMA was unable to download SmartPath OS images for the SmartPath AP platforms from the Black Box update server.
SmartPath OS and SmartPath EMS VMA 4.1r5 Release Notes 14333 If you upgraded SmartPath EMS VMA to 4.0r1 with Configuration Rollback enabled in the Update CAPWAP Server Settings section on the SmartPath EMS VMA Services page, it was not possible to disable it. 14331 If you disabled DFS in a radio profile and pushed the configuration to a SmartPath AP, the configuration audit continued to show a mismatch between the SmartPath AP configuration stored on SmartPath EMS VMA and that running on the SmartPath AP.
