This page contains the changelog for version 2.12 of the ByteBlower. How to update your ByteBlower server is explained in following article:

2.12.6 (2021-01-22)

Enhancements

  • Adding more feedback to the user during initialization and validation operations. These can take a while.

Fixes

  • Fixed a bug that caused ICMP ping replies to sometimes be sent to the wrong destination. (Fixed for both IPv4 and IPv6.)
  • The ByteBlower configurator did not save the fixed network configuration  (1x00, 2x00, 3x00 and 4x00 series
  • The ByteBlower configurator did not save the DNS configuration when configured statically (1x00, 2x00, 3x00, 4x00 series)
  • The ByteBlower configurator did not apply the new DNS configuration when it was altered (1x00, 2x00, 3x00, 4x00 series)
  • When the server could not determine whether an update is available, the system was not able to generate the message of the day. This caused a crash in the ByteBlower configurator. (5100 series only)

Wireless Endpoint support

  • Testing was completed for iOS 14 and macOS Big Sur. The ByteBlower MeetingPoint will not mark these Wireless Endpoints as unsupported anymore

2.12.4 (2020-12-07)

Enhancements

  • The ByteBlower 5100 server can now also update from the console
  • The ByteBlower configurator will warn on an invalid port configurations. Such configurations are mostly encountered during installation of the system.
  • The ByteBlower configurator now also checks the port configuration against the Security license on the server. A warning is given in case of a mismatch, the ByteBlower Server software wouldn't run for such configs.

Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where the ByteBlower configurator did not start when using PTP as a time synchronisation source (2100 and 4100 series only)
  • Fixed an issue where the ByteBlower configurator did not start when an invalid ByteBlower port configuration was set.
  • The login banner (console/ssh) was never updated with the recent information (5100 only)
  • The login banner (console/ssh) was always showing that the updates couldn't be retrieved (5100 only)
  • The OS sometimes provisioned the traffic interfaces with an IP address, even when the configuration told not to. This is fixed (5100 only)

Enhancements

  • The ByteBlower License now supports more than 255 ports on a trunking interface
  • Performance improvement on stateful TCP testing when using IPv6 ports.

Fixes
