128T 4.1 Release Notes

Release 4.1.10

Issues Fixed

  • I95-30610 RTP is not properly classified for subsequent 128T routers

  • I95-33279 Path MTU discovery unresolvable when no ICMP is generated

  • I95-34058 Session setup fails for paths configured as outbound-only when first packet of a flow exceeds MTU (typically UDP)

  • I95-34068 SVR sessions fail to establish due to waypoint allocation failures after HA node failover.

    Symptom: The following warning log is generated:

    Mar 03 09:25:10.813 [HWMC| – ] WARN (icmpManager ) Base Exception: failed to allocate ports for WayPoint; intf=5.0; local=192.0.2.100; remote=198.51.100.128

    Until the system is upgraded to 4.1.10, this issue can be mitigated by removing the corresponding adjacency configuration and adding it back.


  • I95-34090 A network-interface configured with multiple neighborhoods, where one of the neighborhoods defines a port range, will result in traffic being dropped on the defined range

    Symptoms: SVR traffic is dropped when destined for a port range configured on its peer 128T router's neighborhood


  • I95-34158 Modifying a port-range configuration value to include an overlapping range results in a list with an incorrect range.

    Conditions: An existing range list is modified to include an overlapping range

    Until the system is upgraded to 4.1.10, this issue can be mitigated by entering a unique range of values that do not overlap.


  • I95-34310 Secure fields from the 128T configuration are in the commit audit events from config diff operations.

  • I95-34744 highway process can fault when a DHCP server assigns the IP address 0.0.0.0 to the 128T router

Release 4.1.9

Issues Fixed

  • I95-35138 A vulnerability in the SaltStack code allows for unauthenticated salt-minions to execute any script on the salt-master.
    info

    This fix is required only on the 128T Conductor.

Release 4.1.8

note

The 4.1.8 release is a superset of the 4.1.7 release. Features and corrections in the 4.1.7 release are not provided in these release notes. Please refer to the 4.1.7 release notes for further information.

Issues Fixed

  • I95-18857 Support for automatic loopback has been added to Sangoma T1 devices

  • I95-33536 Fixed highway terminate condition on shutdown with large number of peer paths

    Symptom: highwayManager process aborts on shutdown or restart

    Conditions: 128T router with greater than 2500 active peer paths restarted with systemctl restart 128T

    Corrective Action: None required, system will automatically recover.


  • I95-33485 Upgrading a HA node of a 128T router can result in traffic being dropped

    Symptom: Existing traffic for some services is blackholed during upgrade

    Corrective Action: Complete upgrade of both nodes or restart non-upgraded 128T


  • I95-33323 highwayManager process can fault on processing DNS responses for services with addresses defined as FQDN

    Symptom: Traffic stops forwarding while process restarts

    Corrective Action: This condition is rare and is exacerbated by DNS responses that change for the same request. Typically the order of the A records have changed for load balancing purposes. This can be mitigated by ensuring the DNS responses are consistent, or removing the FQDN from the service configuration.


  • I95-33296 Removing a redundant device-interface and its corresponding redundancy-group as part of the same commit will cause the commit operation to fail.

    Symptom: Unable to commit configuration changes

    Corrective Action: Perform two commit operations. The first commit must be to remove the redundancy-group.


  • I95-32843 System can fault when routing loop is created with OSPF and BGP

    Symptom: highwayManager process faults after configuration is loaded.

    Corrective Action: Restore existing configuration to remove routing loop created by OSPF.

Release 4.1.5

Product Enhancements

Overlapping IP address support for adjacencies

Prior versions of the 128T software did not support two routers with the same WAN IP address communicating with common infrastructure. The most common manifestation of this issue is when two routers both share the same private IP address (e.g., 192.168.1.100) and are peering with the same head end router. In this scenario, the head end router cannot disambiguate between the two devices, which may lead to routing issues (e.g., traffic intended for one location may be sent to another location with the same address). It is for this reason that large-scale projects were discouraged/prevented from using private IP addresses, due to the high likelihood of IP collision.

Issues Fixed

  • I95-30078 - HA node communication failure results in two systems both taking control of a shared (redundant) interface

    Symptom: Traffic egressing a highly available device may get pinned to the wrong node in a highly available pair.

    Mitigation (pre-4.1.5): Manually purge specific traffic flows that are pinned to the wrong node, to allow them to regenerate.


  • I95-30387 - ‘path MTU is unresolvable' alarm after 128T restart or BFD link erroneously shows 100% packet loss when device is behind a NAT

    Symptom: when two 128T devices communicate with one another and there is an intervening NAT device (as is common in LTE networks), the path will show 100% packet loss for various NAT types.

    Mitigation (pre-4.1.5): this problem was introduced in 4.1.5-1 and fixed in 4.1.5-2.



  • I95-27406 Ctrl-c does not terminate PCLI tab completion

  • I95-28337 When two HA systems have a temporary disconnection between one another, it may prevent administrative (PCLI) logins.

  • I95-29135 A 128T node may permanently lose "asset" connectivity to Conductor in the wake of a connection failure. The asset connectivity affects the Conductor's ability to remotely start/stop/upgrade a 128T router, but does not impact other administrative functions.

  • I95-29136 The PCLI now warns users logging in if their login exceeds the recommended number (4).

  • I95-29173 Tab complete produced unexpected output at various places within the PCLI.

  • I95-29188 Performance improvements for distributing large configurations from Conductor to routers

  • I95-29206 Routers establish connections to the Conductor in a way that avoids "thundering herd" problems

  • I95-29217 Inaccurate "There are changes waiting to be validated. Click the validate button to refresh the list." message in the configuration section of the conductor UI

  • I95-29238 Entering new configuration with non-interactive commands result in configuration not being applied.

  • I95-29252 Reconfiguring VLANs on interfaces would occasionally require a restart of 128T software.

  • I95-29278 Revertible path failover can sometimes not revert a session. This would cause a device to continue to use a secondary path in the event that a primary path fails, traffic is migrated to the secondary path, but later the primary path is restored.

  • I95-29282, I95-27182 Restart of the standby conductor node may impact administrative access to active Conductor node for up to 10 minutes.

  • I95-29283 The system's ARP table size now corresponds to the number of peering routers. This prevents ARP table overflow issues that may cause outages as nodes can no longer communicate with one another.

  • I95-29289 Certain dual failure conditions could result in a redundant interface being inactive on both nodes in a highly available pair. This could occur, for example, if one node was rebooted and its counterpart had a software failure (crash) before the first node was able to resynchronize completely. This would previously require a reboot to restore.

  • I95-29364 Node not transitioning from starting state on initial deployment. This affects the time to turn up a new system due to an extra restart being required.

  • I95-29367 Application can fault when administratively disabling a T1 Interface, requiring a software restart.

  • I95-29377 Application can fault when disabling an interface that is configured for DHCP, requiring a software restart.

  • I95-29430 Fixed a cosmetic issue when a progress indicator remained during a configuration commit action that resulted in validation errors.

  • I95-29688 An internal software communication failure resulted in the PCLI command 'show system' showing partial data.

  • I95-29841 Two services (routes) with the same IP address, where one has a security policy assigned and another does not, may cause an application fault when traffic hits that security policy. This would result in full traffic loss until the application restarted (approx. 30 seconds).

  • I95-29744 Restart of a node may result in failed sessions, requiring rebooting the counterpart node to restore service. This has only been observed during upgrade scenarios.

  • I95-30857 BGP routes not being updated after a large number of peer path state changes in conjunction with a configuration change. This may result in the 128T from advertising future route updates.

  • I95-30845 FIB entries become invalid after race condition with simultaneous configuration change and routing updates, resulting in routing failure.

  • I95-30598 Automated Provisioner issues continuous salt minion restarts for a node in a disconnected state, resulting in unnecessary reattempts.

  • I95-30424 With BGP, there exists a race condition on startup that results in FIB entries missing some routes, resulting in routing failure.

  • I95-30143 High state is applied to nodes when configuration has changed, causing unnecessary Conductor to router communication. This has been changed to only apply high state when necessary. (Note: when a node is disconnected and reconnects high state is always applied)

  • I95-30011 SVR packets dropped briefly when standby node in an HA router pair is restarted.

  • I95-25174 Eroneous journal entries appear on restart of 128T when Zscaler plugin is enabled.

  • I95-25311 GUI FIB table is inconsistent with output of show fib on PCLI.

  • I95-25329 PCLI in Conductor GUI creates nested navigation bars

  • I95-25425 DHCP Relay with /32 and FIB next-hop set to none requires additional service configuration

  • I95-25429 Rare race condition when applying configuration can cause the system to fault.

  • I95-25498 Neighbor solicitation messages received on an interface without a IPv6 address will silently drop the messages without incrementing any counters.

Special Considerations

  • When configuring network-interface adjacencies via the PCLI the peer field is now required. If the peer is missing the PCLI will provide a message that it is required:
    "Argument 'peer' is required"

  • Prior to 4.1.5, any peering with routers that have the same IP addresses was not supported. In 4.1.5 or greater remote peers having the same IP address is now supported in one direction, with the use of "outbound-only". 128T currently does not support ALL routers having the same IP address, the same IP address support is unidirectional. For example: The following is supported:

      	R1(172.16.1.1) --- peered --- R2 (192.168.1.1)
    |------- peered --- R3 (192.168.1.1)

    The following is not supported:

      	R1(192.168.1.1) --- peered --- R2 (192.168.1.1)
    |------- peered --- R3 (192.168.1.1)

Caveats

  • I95-30103 Entering flat configuration into PCLI does not always create the configuration

    Symptom: - When performing configuration using flat (or cut and paste of the complete flat configuration line) the configuration is not applied

    Conditions: - When a configuration object does not previously exist and setting an attribute of that configuration object. For example in the following configuration line:

    configure authority tenant one name one

    If the "tenant one" configuration object does not exist, the tenant object will not be created. If it does exist then the command will set the attribute "name" to "one"

    Corrective Action: - On initial creation, do not use flat configuration operations for creating the configuration.


  • I95-29842 Nodes with Overlapping DHCP addresses will not be displayed when 'show peers' command is run

    Symptom: Nodes with Overlapping DHCP addresses will not be displayed in the output of show peers

    Conditions: After upgrading to pre 4.1.5 to 4.1.6 and if Overlapping DHCP addresses are being used in the network topology

    Corrective Action: After upgrading the Conductors perform a commit operation from either the PCLI or the Conductor GUI


  • I95-29733 Conductor UI may not provide an indication that a refresh is in progress (flashing blue dot)

    Symptom: When selecting the Router to fresh the available versions to upgrade, the flashing blue indicator may not be present

    Conditions: Shortly after both HA conductors have been upgraded and the refresh button is selected for a router

    Corrective Action: N/A, no user corrective action can be performed. Waiting for a moment will result in the appearance of the solid blue dot if an upgrade is available (Note: Both conductors must be running a version greater than or equal to the target router version)


  • I95-29592 Conductor UI and/or PCLI may not update the asset software version correctly

    Symptom: The Conductor UI and/or the PCLI may not correctly reflect the software version running on the asset

    Conditions: After the asset has been upgraded

    Corrective Action: If the asset is not updated after ~5 minutes after an upgrade is performed, the salt-minion will need a restart on the asset node that does not update the version. This is done with the following command on the node as the root linux user:

    systemctl restart salt-minion

  • I95-29271 PCLI/Netconf subsystem may fault on exit

    Symptom: PCLI or Netconf session may fault

    Conditions: On session exit (either exit from PCLI or direct Netconf session exit)

    Corrective Action: N/A, no user corrective action is required.


  • I95-29134 save tech-support-info fails to create tech support file

    Symptom: save tech-support-info fails with the following error message:

    "Error: Failed to execute the 'save-tech-support-info' RPC: Fatal error creating tarball"

    Conditions: When configuration exports have been saved with spaces it in the name of the exported configuration file

    Corrective Action: Remove the saved configuration files with spaces in the name and avoid using spaces when exporting configuration. Note: Exporting configuration files with spaces in the name may be prevented in a future release.


  • I95-28766 Conductor PCLI shows configuration change when no changes have been performed

    Symptom: Conductor PCLI may incorrectly provide an * that there is a candidate configuration change

    Conditions: Unknown

    Corrective Action: None, if the configuration has not changed this indicator can be ignored. A comparison can be performed with compare config running candidate


  • I95-27946 Commit may fail on Conductor when node in router pair is stopped

    Symptom: When performing a commit to a router where one of the nodes is offline, the commit from the Conductor may not respond or may fail. Performing a validate operation a second time may provide the following error response:

    “✖ Validating...
    % Error: Candidate configuration is invalid:
    1. A request of type validate is already in progress”

    Conditions: When a node in the router pair is offline.

    Corrective Action: The validate operation is sent from the conductor to the nodes to verify that the configuration is correct. The validate will timeout to the node that is offline. Bring the node back online and perform the operation a second time.


  • I95-27944 Network error may cause upgrade to fail and not retry.

    Symptom: The following message is provided on the Conductor UI

    “The upgrade failed because: NetworkError when attempting to fetch resource.”

    Conditions: When upgrading the Conductor from the Conductor GUI

    Corrective Action: Verify the conductor can reach the 128T repository, once verified to be accessible, perform the upgrade operation again.


  • I95-27808 sync peer addresses router force from conductor may not trigger router to send address information from peer

    Symptom: When performing the following command on the Conductor PCLI, sync peer addresses router force the router may not provide the peer address information

    Conditions: Unknown

    Corrective Action: Perform the PCLI command on the router to update the information on the conductor.


  • I95-27722 Alarms for "Peer not reachable" may not clear and will persist after nodes are back and operational

    Symptom: Alarms for "peer not reachable" provided in on the Conductor

    Conditions: Unknown, seen after system upgrade

    Corrective Action: NA, The alarms will clear within 15 minutes.


  • I95-25947 The upgrade to 4.1 can take upwards of 40 minutes to complete. The increase in installation time is due to the underlying OS upgrade.

  • I95-25828 Rollback to the previous version of software is not supported due to the underlying operating system upgrade.

  • I95-25659 When 128T learns the peer IP of a 128T Router through BFD source NAT detection, it uses the learned address for most things, but not for flow moves. Flow move detection relies on the statically configured adjacency within the configuration, not the updated addresses that BFD provides. To prevent for move failures when waypoints are behind a NAT, the administrator should configure external-nat-address on the corresponding adjacency. The value given to that field should be that same source NATed address.

  • I95-25823 kernel warnings can be seen in journalctl when running the 128T within Azure. An example of the warning messages can be seen below.
