Introduction
This document highlights new features and significant updates in cnMaestro 1.6.2 Cloud and On-Premises. The Cloud release will be completed over the next few days, and On-Premises can be downloaded now from Support Center.
Important |
cnMaestro On-Premises 1.6.2 is a Package release rather than a full OVA image. It must be applied on top of an existing 1.6.1 On-Premises installation. Please follow the steps detailed in section 6.2 of the cnMaestro On-Premises 1.6.1 Quick Start Guide (“Updating cnMaestro Software”) to perform a package update on an existing OVA. |
Important: Web Browser |
You may need to restart your browser (or clear the browser cache with a hard reload) after the 1.6.2 update. |
Bulk Move of Devices
Bulk Move transfers devices from one hierarchy to another hierarchy. When a parent device is moved, all its children will also move to target location. For example, moving an ePMP/PMP AP causes all children SMs to also move to target location. If SMs have Wi-Fi AP(s) underneath, they also move. This feature is available in the Access and Backhaul view in the Inventory page, and in the Wireless LAN view in the Access Points (APs) page.
Bulk Delete of Devices
Bulk Delete removes multiple devices from the account in one operation. This feature is available in the Access and Backhaul view in the Inventory page, and in the Wireless LAN view in the Access Points (APs) page.
Bulk Delete of Update Jobs
Bulk Delete is supported for Configuration Jobs and Software Update Jobs.
Mesh Peers Report (On-Premises)
Generate a Mesh Peers Session Report over last 24 hours downloaded as a CSV file. The feature is located at Report > Mesh Peers.
