Assists for cnMatrix, cnPilot Home, and ePMP X

Assists are extended to cnPilot Home, cnMatrix and ePMP. The Assists feature scans device configuration and generates an Assists Score. It evaluates settings that may lead to security or deployment issues and generates a summary score for System, Network, Site, Tower, and Device. Assists Scores are displayed as a percentage of successful evaluations.

Assists Dashboard

The Assists Dashboard presents the Assists Score and the list of evaluated Assists.

Access Control Policies for Enterprise Wi-Fi

Access Control Policies limit network traffic. They can be configured at the AP Group and WLAN levels. AP Group policies have higher priority than WLAN policies. Both Layer 2 and Layer 3 rules are available; they are processed in the priority order of MAC Filters (Layer 2), IP Filters, then Application Filters. Application Filters are a cnMaestro X feature. X

Access Control Policies are available under Configuration > Wi-Fi Profiles.

NSE 3000 Specific Features

VPN Two-Factor Authentication

In the VPN and RADIUS Server configuration, administrators can enable two-factor authentication for users:

Click the QR Code icon and scan with the Google Authenticator app to add a 16-digit key.

An email is also sent with the QR code and 16-digit key.

Two-Factor Authentication is available for users accessing NSE using a remote VPN client from the WAN side. You must select the “Enable 2fa” checkbox in the “Client VPN” configuration” for this feature to work. You should also select “Enable inbuilt RADIUS server” when setting up the remote VPN server on the NSE.

PPPoE Support on WAN

The WAN interface now supports PPPoE (in addition to static and dynamic IP address learning). PPPoE is configured with the username and password given by the service provider.

PPPoE Statistics

PPPoE Statistics display the connection status and uptime along with the IP address and default gateway learned from the service provider.

Flow Preference

NSE Flow Preference sends Internet traffic through a specific WAN interface based on Layer 3 or Layer 7 properties. The Flow Preference policy will be pushed to the device if the load balancing mode of the attached WAN interface is set to Shared.

Layer 7 Rule

Layer 3 Rule

Site-to-Site IPsec

An IPsec tunnel provides a secure, encrypted connection between two devices or networks. An IPsec site-to-site tunnel connects two remote sites.

IPsec Tunnel Statistics

IPsec tunnel statistics display the tunnel status of IKE phase 1 and phase 2 along with the session time.

Static DNS Configuration

Static IP Address assignment now supports configuration of Primary and Secondary DNS servers.

VLAN Tag on WAN [Dot1q]

If enabled, NSE will insert Dot1q tag with configured VLAN id for all packets exiting the WAN interface.

DNS Logging

Log DNS queries received from the client to external syslog server.

User-Defined Overrides

Ability to set configuration parameters in NSE Groups which are not supported in the GUI.

Factory Reset

Erase all configuration on the device and restore to factory default.

Configuration Lock

Keep the configuration between NSE devices and cnMaestro synchronized: any changes performed on the device will be overridden by cnMaestro.

Outbound Firewall Rules Count Increased to 150

The Outbound firewall rule count in the NSE Group has been increased to 150. The rules can be a combination of Layer 3 and Layer 7 rules.

MAC to IP Binding Increased to 200

The MAC to IP binding under the DHCP Server is increased to 200.

NSE Group Import/Export

Tools

Troubleshooting tools are added for NSE devices:

  • Log view
  • Remote CLI to visualize real-time statistics and execute traceroute and ping
  • Live packet capture

UI Navigational Changes

The “AP Groups and WLANs” menu item is renamed “Wi-Fi Profiles” to accommodate new Access Control Policies and existing Association ACLs.

4.0.0-37

4.0.0-38

Expand/Collapse Icon for Main Menu is Enhanced

Thanks Rob! When should we expect to see an on-prem version?

1 Like

I hope the on-prem version will have a letsencrypt support.

Do I think - along with version 4.0, the recommended version of the software for old cnPilots migrated from 4.2.3 to 4.2.2.1?
Again a mistake or a conscious change?
There was a circus like this last time too.

There will not be any 4.0.0 On-Prem but a combined 4.0.1 (4.0.0 + 4.0.1 features) On-Prem release by end of May.

As part of cnMaestro release, we mention only the minimum required version for a device family and not the recommended version. Please see below.

Recommended version for a device family is not strictly tied up with the cnMaestro release and keeps changing as we make new releases. Can you please specify for which cnPilot Home/Enterprise model you see the change?

Regards,
Ajay

I see that, as before, you can’t do without a screenshot.
Before 4.0.0 was uploaded to the cloud, the recommended soft version in the SoftwareUpdate section was 4.2.3. After uploading 4.0.0 to the cloud, 4.2.2.1 is again recommended in SoftwareUpdate (see picture)
Does anyone of you have control over which version is finally recommended for which products? I get the impression that sometimes it’s like on the wheel of fortune. Someone spins the wheel and falls on version 4.2.x.x :slight_smile:

Look what miracles.
Again 4.3.2 is recommended :slight_smile:

I might be wrong here, but atleast on cnMaestro on-prem (not sure about cloud); Me myself as an administrator sets which firmware should be the recommended one.

This is about cloud version. Not on-prem.

Hi @PFR thanks for highlighting the issue, we have fixed already. sorry for the inconvenience.

I’m reporting another problem :slight_smile: In previous versions, I could change the location of the WiFi hotspot by dragging it with the mouse on the map. Now it is not possible, it still works for ePMP but for hotspots it has been deactivated ?
Please reactivate.
