CDRouter 12.14

May 6, 2021

New Features

  • CDRouter: A new DHCP client test case been added to this release. This test verifies that the DUT’s DHCP client on the WAN learns a new DHCP server if the primary DHCP server becomes unresponsive. Please see cdrouter_dhcp_70 in the dhcp-c module for more information. [ch10029]

  • Performance: Two new test modules have been added to this release:

    Test Module Address Family Number of Tests Description
    fixed-rate-perf-2-5 IPv4 308 IPv4 fixed rate performance tests, 1 to 2.5 Gbps
    fixed-rate-perf-2-5-v6 IPv6 308 IPv6 fixed rate performance tests. 1 to 2.5 Gbps

    These modules add fixed rate performance tests for target bandwidths between 1 and 2.5 Gbps. [ch9996]

Change Log

  • CDRouter: A new metric has been added to many of CDRouter’s EAPOL test cases. CDRouter’s wireless LAN clients will now actively fail if an EAP failure does not result in an 802.11 deauthentication event by the DUT’s access point. This change impacts tests that verify EAP failure conditions in the eap-radius, eapol, and eap-tls modules. [ch9130]

  • CDRouter: The default config template has been lightly reorganized for ease of use. [ch9402]

  • CDRouter: CDRouter’s LAN clients may now be configured to include DHCP option 0 using the testvar dhcpClientOptionCode. [ch9803]

  • CDRouter: Resolved a fatal error when enabling protected management frames (PMF) for WPA in certain configurations. [ch9851]

  • CDRouter: Resolved an issue with the Config Upgrade utility included with CDRouter releases 12.7 through 12.13. In these releases the Config Upgrade utility would add a Miscellaneous Testvars section for additional multiport interface configurations that would generate a config check error. [ch10072]

  • Security: The ET Open ruleset shipped with the CDRouter Security expansion has been updated to version 9719. [ch10108]

  • TR-069: Resolved a potential fatal error condition in the tr69_410 test case. [ch9953]

  • TR-069: Updated all HTTPS tests in the tr69_annex_n test module to use properly formatted URLs with an FQDN rather than an IP address when configuring the bulk data transfer on the DUT. [ch10031]
