16.4 Beta - breaks Whitelisting and content filtering.

[DarrenOC]

Jumped straight in and upgraded my Home/Lab MX to 16.4 (using an MX68).  Upgrade was smooth as expected.  Went through each dashboard page to see whats new.  All checked out fine, could see the new Anyconnect Beta feature - excellent, alls well.

Started browsing, tried to log into LinkedIn.....blocked, Facebook....blocked....hmmmm

Reviewed the event log, my device is being blocked due to content filtering.  My device and some others are whitelisted.

Removed the social media content filter - straight out.

Removed all content filters, set all devices back to Normal.  Then reverted back to blocking content and whitelisting my device.  Broken

@MeredithW @CarolineS - can we feed this back into the relevant BU?

I believe this is listed in the release notes as:

Known Issues

• Group policies do not correctly apply to client devices

[DarrenOC]

Hi @Adam2104 , I have no individual Group Policies setup and applied.  Unless Meraki are stating that Device Policies are also affected

[Adam2104]

I may be mistaken, but I believe those pre-canned policies to also be group policies, just not custom-defined ones.

@Adam2104 you may be correct but if the Allow list etc. are Group Policies then why are they all on a menu called Device Policies?  Wouldn't the menu be called Group Policies...

[DarrenOC]

Group, Device....its just broken 😂🤣

Going to leave on the Beta for now so I can play with Anyconnect

[MeredithW]

@DarrenOC sent! If you haven't already, please do also file a ticket with support about it!

My approach to firmware upgrades is let @DarrenOC try it first and find all of the faults 🤣

[cmr]

🤣unfortunately @DarrenOC normally waits for me to upgrade first, though I think he might have jumped first on this one...

You’re not far wrong there Charles.

I see all your devices go down, come back up. If you don’t roll back I know it’s good 😃
