Introduction
This document highlights new features and significant updates in cnMaestro Cloud.
Important: Web Browser
Restart your browser (or clear the browser cache with a hard reload) if you are having UI problems with the 4.0.0 update.
Assists for cnMatrix, cnPilot Home, and ePMP
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.
Assists Details
Assist Details provide information about individual Assists.
Affected Devices
Devices failing evaluation are displayed in a table.
Dashboard Widgets
The Assists Dashboard widget has been added to the Dashboard pages.
cnPilot Dashboard Page
cnMatrix Dashboard Page
ePMP Dashboard Page
Fix Now Support for ePMP and PMP
The Fix Now option resolves Assists discovered scanning ePMP and PMP devices.

Edit Client Host Name
This feature allows users to edit the host name of wired and wireless clients. Navigate to Clients > Wireless/Wired Clients and click the Edit icon under Actions.
The edited host name is displayed in Audit logs, Reports, Data Export, and Client Dashboards.
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.
Access Control Policies are available under Configuration > Wi-Fi Profiles.
WLAN Access Policy
After creation, link the policy under WLAN > Access Control tab.
AP Group Policy
After creation, link the policy under the AP Group > Access Control tab.
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.
Expand/Collapse Icon for Main Menu is Enhanced
The Expand/Collapse icon for Main Menu changed from to .
