  • USB modems with MX/Z series devices running firmware MX 18 or newer will be limited to best effort support and will not be receiving any future firmware fixes or improvements.

Bug fixes

All

  • Resolved an MX 18.208 regression that resulted in the firewall logging live tool stopping unexpectedly on MX75, MX85, MX95, MX105, MX250, and MX450 appliances.
  • Fixed an MX 18.2 regression that could result in traffic not being properly routed for clients when No-NAT was configured.
  • Corrected a rare issue that could cause Event Log messages to be lost while the MX appliance was applying configuration updates.
  • Fixed an MX 18.2 regression that resulted in MX appliance improperly dropping traffic from non-Meraki VPN peers when that traffic was received over a PPPoE uplink.
  • Fixed a rare case that could result in non-Meraki VPN tunnels failing to form.
  • Resolved a rare issue that could result in HTTP file downloads failing when AMP was enabled.
  • Corrected an MX 18.1 regression that resulted in VPN status information about WAN2 not being properly reported. This resulted in the information on the VPN status page being incorrect.
  • Corrected an MX 18.107.7 regression that could cause MX appliances that 1) have Mandatory DHCP enabled and 2) are rebooted to encounter severe disruptions to network traffic.
  • Fixed a rare issue that could occur during firmware updates that resulted in MX appliances unexpectedly having configurations that were out of date.
  • Resolved an MX 18.2 regression that resulted in MX appliances not honoring flow preferences for Internet traffic when the preferred uplink was cellular. Devices operating under the SD-WAN+ license were not affected.

Specific models

  • Fixed an MX 18.2 regression that resulted in vMX appliances improperly showing references to a WAN2 interface on the Appliance Status page.
  • Corrected an MX 18.1 regression that could result in MX95, MX105, MX250, and MX450 appliances improperly duplicating multicast packets.
  • Resolved an MX 18.1 regression that resulted in MX95 and MX250 appliances failing to send CDP or LLDP messages.
  • Corrected a rare issue that could result in MX75, MX85, MX95, MX105, MX250, and MX450 appliances failing to forward traffic from some clients.
  • Fixed an MX 18.2 regression that resulted in MX75, MX85, MX95, MX105, MX250, and MX450 appliances inconsistently forwarding traffic to clients with a 1:1 NAT rule configured.
  • Resolved an MX 18.2 regression that could result in ThousandEye’s Path Visualization failing for traffic routed over AutoVPN on MX75, MX85, MX95, MX105, MX250, and MX450 appliances.
  • Corrected an MX 18.2 regression that caused MX appliances configured in passthrough mode to be unable to establish VPN tunnels to tunneled SSIDs configured on MR devices.
  • Corrected an issue that could result in MX75, MX85, MX95, MX105, MX250, and MX450 appliances configured in VPN concentrator mode failing to forward traffic received from AutoVPN clients.
  • Fixed an issue that could result in MX250 and MX450 appliances improperly forwarding LLDP and BPDU frames from LAN out the WAN interface(s) during the bootup process.
  • Corrected an issue that could result in MX65(W), MX67(C,W), MX68(W,CW), MX75, and MX85 appliances losing static IP configuration after entering into failsafe mode.
  • Stability improvements for MX67W and MX68(W,CW) appliances.
  • Stability improvements for MX75, MX85, MX95, MX105, MX250, and MX450 appliances.

Legacy products notice

Known issues status

  • This list is being reviewed and updated. Many existing issue reports have not been confirmed to affect MX 18.2XX firmware versions.

Known issues

  • MX appliances that have configured adaptive policy may encounter frequent connectivity state changes for AutoVPN tunnels.
  • Devices manufactured by Ingenico may experience an unstable physical Ethernet connection when directly connected to MX68(W,CW) appliances.
  • Due to rare issues, MX250 and 450 appliances may encounter unexpected device reboots.
  • The Non-Meraki VPN service may fail to properly establish IKEv2 tunnels when the MX appliance is acting as the IKEv2 responder and many allowed subnets are configured.
  • In rare cases, MX67C, MX68CW, and Z3C appliances may fail to enter into a "Ready" state despite being able to register to a cellular network and obtain an IP address for the modem.
  • Due to an issue with no known method of reproduction, the IDS and IPS process may unexpectedly restart.
  • Due to an MX 18.2 regression, MX75, MX85, MX95, MX105, MX250, and MX450 appliances will fail to form AutoVPN tunnels with other MX appliances via their LAN interfaces.

Other

  • Added support for reporting CellID on the local status page for Z4C appliances.
  • Added support for configuring PPPoE uplinks without a password on the device local status page.
