Upgrade Recommendations
• It is recommended that you upgrade the firmware via XMS-Cloud or XMS-Enterprise. If you use XMS-Cloud,
your Access Points will be upgraded automatically.
• As an alternative, and only if you don’t use XMS-Cloud, you can manually update the Firmware via SSH CLI,
see Appendix [A] for details.
New Features and Enhancements in AOS Lite 8.4.5-228
• Bug fixes.
Issues Resolved (From 8.4.4-216 to 8.4.5-228)
AOSL-9, ZT-19533 – This fix from 8.4.4-216 has been reversed: “Xirrus APs in the network
were being erroneously reported as rogues. This will no longer occur.”
Monitor
This has been fixed in XMS-Cloud instead – customer’s own APs will not be shown as rogues.
The RSSI value has also been corrected.
Radius AOSL-11, ZT-19702 - Added Framed-IP-Address to the accounting-request START packet.
Note that there will be a delay before you see Framed-IP-Address in this packet on roaming.
AOSL-10, ZT-19724 - Corrected behavior of track-apps: when using time-frame option, if the
Track-apps GUID of one inactive internal app has other active internal apps, the total counter is still
reported to user.
AOSL-7, ZT-19788 – [XR-320 LAN 1, 2, 3, & 4 Ethernet interfaces stop working.] Fixed by
XR-320 LAN adding a recovery mechanism to check downlink port status every 3 minutes. If downlink ports
Ports are abnormal, the reset of internal Switch-IC will be triggered. Moreover, we added a syslog
“Reset s17 switch IC” when reset happens, and added reset counter to diagnostic log.
