Release Notes 4.1.4.4

Clarifications and Usage Notes
5
In the Version 4 software, the limit for most names is 32 characters. If you use names that
contain more than 32 characters, the item will be migrated but the name will be truncated.
You should check to make sure that all your data was transferred correctly. (19201)
• An upgrade to version 4.1 is supported from release 3.1.122 or later. If you are running
earlier releases of 3.1 it is recommended that you upgrade to the current 3.1 release (currently
3.1.128) before you upgrade to version 4.1.
• Both the Access Control Server and any Access Controllers to be managed by this Access
Control Server must be upgraded to version 4.1. Interoperability between version 3.1 and 4.1
software is not supported.
• In version 4.1, Centralized logon is no longer supported. In version 3.1 Distributed logon
was the default, but Centralized logon was still supported. If you are running software
version 3.1 and have not converted to Distributed logon, you should do so, and ensure that
logons are working properly in Distributed mode before you upgrade to version 4.1.
• If you maintain an Access Control Server running version 3.1 in parallel with an Access
Control Server running version 4.1, and you migrate an Access Controller from the 3.1
Access Control Server to the 4.1 Access Control Server, the 3.1 Access Control Server may
continue to try to contact the previously in-service Access Controller. This may result in
error log messages on the 3.1 Access Control Server. These messages are benign and may be
ignored. (18617)
CLARIFICATIONS AND USAGE NOTES
The following items assist you in configuring and operating your system with this software
version. The number in parentheses following the description is an internal tracking number.
• In an SNMP MIB walk on an Access Control Server, the following additional variables are
listed in the HP-IF-EXT MIB file:
hpifMIBObjects.2.1.1.1.1 Gauge 0
hpifMIBObjects.2.1.1.2.1 Gauge 1
hpifMIBObjects.2.1.1.3.1 INTEGER 0
hpifMIBObjects.2.1.1.4.1 INTEGER 0
This additional information does not affect system operation. (19641)
• If a redundant system experiences a failover and the administrator makes configuration
changes to the acting primary Access Control Server (previously the secondary), those
configuration changes will be lost when control is returned to the original primary Access
Control Server. Therefore, if a failover occurs, diagnosing and repairing the problem with the
primary Access Control Server should be performed before any configuration changes are
made. (19470)
• When creating or editing filters for Allowed or Redirected traffic and using a “!” or the word
“not” in front of the address, you must include a space between the “!” or the word “not” and
the address. For example: not @internal@. (19410)
• The CLI command, “get mindowngrade,” applies to the minimum compatible version of
software for the unit with regards to internal data structures, not for software compatibility
with other components in the 700wl Series network. (18412)
