We are opening enrollment for MR 28 firmware private beta!
Please note that this is not a public MR 28.x beta but an early release program for a select number of customers prior to the public MR 28 beta release.
These are MR 28 features / bug fixes / known issues:
[New] IPv6 support on MR (including MR management over IPv6, IPv6 live tools, L3 IPv6 firewall rules, RADIUS/LDAP/AD over IPv6, SNMP/Syslog/Meraki Health over IPv6) (All MRs)
[New] RADIUS enhancements (e.g., NAS-ID configuration, Called-Station ID configuration, EAP timers, and more) (All MRs)
[New] Electronic Shelf Labels (ESL) support (with our partner SES-imagotag). This feature allows using the IoT (previously known as BLE) radio your MR access points to act as gateways for these tags as opposed to deploying separate ESL gateways (MR30/33/74, MR45/55, MR36/MR46/MR56, MR76/86).
[New] Support VLANs over wireless mesh links (All MRs)
[New] FIPS support on MR (Phase 1) (Wi-Fi 6 MRs)
[New] Meraki Health - Phase 3: Additional Meraki Health alerts and smart thresholds, visibility into client devices by leveraging Meraki full-stack (All MRs)
Note that some of the features (like ESL) are only supported on specific MR models and/or require additional backend configuration at this time.
[Bug Fixes] Downstream VOIP RTP Packet Loss (MR42/MR42E/MR52/MR53/MR53E/MR84)
[Bug Fixes] MR may reboot when configured with WPA2-Enterprise, Hotspot 2.0, and more than 42 MCC/MNCs. There is now a limit on 42 or fewer MCC/MNCs. (All MRs)
[Bug Fixes] TCP port 22 was accessible from the wireless LAN (All MRs)
[Bug Fixes] MR may reboot on certain configuration changes when NBAR is enabled (Wi-Fi 6 MRs)
[Bug Fixes] RADIUS Accounting Interim-Update packets contain 0 for Acct-Input / Acct-Output usage values (Wi-Fi 6 MRs)
[Bug Fixes] Wi-Fi 6 MR did not start RADIUS Accounting session after 802.11r FT (Wi-Fi 6 MRs)
[Bug Fixes] RADIUS CoA packets not sent across mesh links (All MRs)
[Bug Fixes] Enabled 40/80 MHz channel widths in Ecuador (MR20/MR30H/MR33/MR70/MR74)
[Bug Fixes] Local status page included “Provider Name” cellular information (All MRs)
[Bug Fixes] MR may transmit VHT frames on 2.4 GHz (MR20/MR30H/MR33/MR70/MR74)
[Bug Fixes] 802.11r association & re-association events were not generated in the event log (All MRs)
[Bug Fixes] LED did not change from green to blue when clients connected to MR (MR30H)
[Bug Fixes] SNMP ifInDiscards were being inaccurately reported (All MRs)
[Bug Fixes] Enabled RTS/CTS on 2.4 GHz (MR45/MR55)
[Bug Fixes] Class Attribute received from RADIUS Access-Accept packet was not forwarded in RADIUS Accounting-Request packet (All MRs)
[Bug Fixes] Client Balancing control plane packets continued to be transmitted by MRs via Ethernet even when disabled (All MRs)
[Bug Fixes] Channel utilization falsely reported spikes or sustained levels of utilization (Wi-Fi 5 MRs)
[Bug Fixes] Local status page included latitude and longitude coordinates
[Bug Fixes] VPN teleworker tunnels were unable to establish if the SSID configured to do so was VAP #12 (out of 15) (All MRs)
[Known Issues] Wired clients connected to the MR30H LAN ports do not receive proper SGT
[Known Issues] Custom firewall rules are not enforced on SSIDs with applied Adaptive Policy Group
[Known Issues] Sporadic packet loss & instability on Layer 3 roaming & Teleworker VPN SSID's (All MRs)
