CS firmware versions CS 17.2.3 changelog

Important notes

  • This version's IOS XE image is based on 17.12.4 CCO. Upgrades to this version will result in a full system reload.

New feature highlights

  • EEE (Energy Efficient Ethernet) Support
  • RADIUS Caching
  • Device Uptime for MS390s
  • Multi-auth with support for guest/failed/critical
  • VLAN to SGT mapping
  • Client Analytics (parity)
  • Support for Multicast in Live Tool

Fixed issues

  • Resolved a bug that occasionally caused the Meraki container to reboot and temporarily lose Dashboard connectivity
  • Fixed a bug that sometimes caused longer than expected boot times, and in very rare circumstances could cause switches to fail to communicate with Dashboard

General known issues

  • Client traffic reporting may fail on high-speed (greater than 10Gbps) or trunk ports

C9300 known issues

  • In rare circumstances, high levels of MAC flapping can lead to memory exhaustion in C9300X switches in stack configurations. An iosxe restart is required to restore service to affected switches.

Ms390 known issues

  • MS390s may display an alert, "A power supply is offline" when a PSU isn't installed in the second slot
  • Clients may fail to obtain a fixed IP address if their DHCP discover packet doesn't contain a client identifier field. These clients will instead be assigned an IP address from the DHCP pool.
