Which firmware: 4.1.1.13 or 4.1.3.1

  • 1.  Which firmware: 4.1.1.13 or 4.1.3.1

    Posted Jul 12, 2016 03:54 AM

    Hi we are curious which one to use for our customers:

    - 6.4.2.6-4.1.1.13

    - 6.4.2.6-4.1.3.1

     

    Our customers use Client Match, Network printing, Cloud services, Google Cast and Apple TV.

     

    Which one is better, or which one to choose? I don't understand both releases...

    ps we use AMP 8.2.1

     

    Thanks in advance.

    4.1.3.1 fixes a security vulnerability and should be used.

    the automatic firmware check on our Virtual Controller (2 IAP 205's) says 4.1.3.0 is the latest. How come? It should be 4.1.3.1, right?

     

    PS: also, how do I check if both controllers updated their firmware, and not just 1? Through the web-interface of the virtual controller it doesn't seem to show which firmware an IAP has. It only shows which firmware the VC has.

    In theory, it should be the latest software here:  http://support.arubanetworks.com/LifetimeWarrantySoftware/tabid/121/DMXModule/661/EntryId/22084/Default.aspx

     

    I will check and see why that is not the case.

     

    An AP should not be able to join a cluster if the firmware is not the same as the VC.

    That would suggest to use 4.1.1.13 instead of 4.1.3.1 (or 4.1.3.0 even).

    Thanks for checking. Curious about the outcome.

    It's still saying 4.1.1.13. Not 4.1.3.0, not 4.1.3.1, not 4.1.3.2. So... should we use 4.1.1.13 ? Or 4.1.3.2?

    What features do you need?  It might not matter?

    I don't know if it matters. That's why I'm asking :-) What do you advise? Most important thing is that all security updates are applied of course.

    4.1.3.1 would have all the security updates.  That is the answer to your question.

    thanks. But the 205 is still at 4.1.3.0 and says there's no new version available.

    4.1.3.0 has all the security updates in that train.  4.1.3.1 has no security updates in the release notes.  We need to check on why it is not available in "Check updates".
