Hi.
Just to double check, do I understand correctly, that in order to have cnMaestro and devices onboarded we need connection to cloud? It is not possible to have cnMaestro completely offline?

Kind regards

There are currently 2 versions of cnMaestro.

  1. Cloud version - your devices need to access the internet to reach cloud.cambiumnetworks.com to onboard.
  2. On-Premises version - you run this version in your own VM, and your devices simply need to reach the IP address of your cnMaestro instance. However,. the on-prem cnMaestro needs to connect to a cloud anchor account to manage subscriptions, firmware versions, and other features. Your devices do not need to be internet enabled - Port 443 management trafiic stays within your network, just the cnMaestro VM needs to have internet access.

Hope this helps.

Wow. So if we have airgaped network, we can’t use cnMaestro, not even Esentials?

Nope, after cnMaestro 3.x you have to have an anchor account. This is mostly for X feature enforcement though I also believe that other data is also shared to cambium but have not captured it happening yet.

2.x versions are still air-gap friendly.

I used the anchor account to activate the cnMaestro at the beginning. The Internet access is closed since, as I upload manually the firmware version that I need.

Let’s just say, that we are not happy.
