cnMaestroTM 2.2.
0 Release Notes
Introduction
This document highlights new features and significant updates in cnMaestro On-Premises.
Note 2.2.0, is a major release, and Cambium recommends all customers update to the latest
version.
Important
cnMaestro 2.2.0 On-Premises is distributed as an OVA file, which can be installed as a new
Virtual Machine or used to update an existing 2.1.0 OVA installation. Please verify at least
1 GB of available memory before updating using the OVA.
Existing cnMaestro On-Premises users running with version 1.6.3 should export their data
and import it into cnMaestro 2.2.0. Data exported from cnMaestro 1.6.3 is supported.
Important: Web Browser
You may need to restart your browser (or clear the browser cache with a hard reload) after
the 2.2.0 update.
Important: AMI Installation
This OVA cannot be used to upgrade the cnMaestro 2.1.1 AWS AMI released in the
Amazon AWS Marketplace. There will be a separate AMI release for 2.2.0.
Layer 2 High Availability (HA) (On-Premises)
cnMaestro On-Premises supports Layer 2 High Availability Beta through an Active-Standby (1+1)
architecture. The default HA installation has a single Management interface (eth0) and a Shared
(floating) Management IP address. HA is configured through the Console.
Failover Times
An on-premises failover occurs over the following intervals:
15-20 seconds Commit to failover.
60-90 seconds Transition databases and services. UI becomes available during this period.
Up to 5 minutes Devices reconnect in staggered fashion, to limit large deployment overhead.
During a failover, RADIUS Proxy will be unavailable until the hosting device reconnects, and EoGRE
requires service initiation on the new Active system. Data Plane failover will be optimized in a later
release.
Rogue AP Detection
A Rogue AP is an unsanctioned AP not onboarded to a Site. The Cambium AP scans channels and
collects details about neighboring APs, which are displayed in cnMaestro.
Configuring Rogue (Unsanctioned) AP
1. Navigate to AP Groups > Configuration > Security page
2. Select the Enable Rogue AP detection check box
Monitoring Rogue APs
Rogue APs can be monitored at the Access Point and Site levels in the hierarchy. The graphic below
highlights the Rogue AP Dashboard for an Access Point. Rogues can be visualized by channel over
time, and they can be whitelisted directly from the Dashboard.
Secondary External Authentication Servers (On-Premises)
Support for an optional Secondary Authentication Server for cnMaestro application authentication.
The default Local Users authentication will only be performed if both Primary and Secondary servers
are unreachable.
Guest Portal Self Registration
The user can customize the fields in the Splash page by choosing the Custom Field option in the
Guest Access Portal page and clicking Add New button.
Wired Clients for cnPilot Home
Added support to display Wired Clients for cnPilot Home devices.
Wired Guest Clients for cnPilot Enterprise
Added support to display Wired Guest Clients for cnPilot Enterprise devices.
CLI Debug Option for cnPilot Enterprise APs
Execute CLI commands on cnPilot Enterprise APs as part of Advanced Debug option. This feature is
for debugging purposes: it is not meant to configure APs. This option is supported on APs running
software version 3.10.2 or higher.
cnPilot Radio Enable/Disable Override
The Device Override section in the Device Configuration tab now has the option to enable/disable
Radio 2.4 GHz and Radio 5 GHz.
Enhanced Statistics for PTP Devices
Below parameters are added to Statistics table for PTP devices:
1. Error Seconds
2. Severe Error Seconds
3. Unavailable Seconds
A new Network Info tab is added under the Details tab for PTP devices.
Enhanced Data Report for PTP Devices
Existing Devices Data Report is enhanced with addition of significant PTP Radio parameters.
Unique Device Name Enforcement
Device name validation to enforce uniqueness across the system. In case of Managed Services,
uniqueness is enforced within the Managed Account.
Satellite View (US and EU)
Support for Satellite View in Map is added in limited United States and European Union regions. This
option can be enabled from Application > Settings > Advanced Features page.
