Notes

CDRouter TR-069

  • The acs.cdroutertest.com-ca.pem file has been updated to remove an expired intermediate CA. The default ACS and ACS download server certificate chains now contain only one intermediate CA. [ch5573]

  • The acs.qacafe.com certificate chain is now expired and has been removed [ch5621].

  • An alternate SHA1 certificate chain for acs.cdroutertest.com and acs-download.cdroutertest.com is now available on the support site. This may be needed for older legacy devices that do not support the current SHA384 certificate chain that is shipped with CDRouter. [ch5579]

  • The tr143_http module does not require a LAN interface and can now be run in configurations that have only a WAN interface defined. [ch3053]

  • Tests od128_test_8.1 through od128_test_7 have been updated to check the Device.DeviceInfo.SoftwareVersion parameter at the end of the test to verify that the DUT is running the new firmware image. The tr69DownloadImageVersion testvar should be properly set to match the version of the new firmware. These tests have also been updated to optionally reinstall the original firmware on the DUT at the end of the test. The tr69DownloadImageVersion testvar must be set to the path of the original firmware image in order for this to occur. [ch4904]

  • The tr143_http module has been updated to resolve an issue in PPPoE over IPv6 WAN configurations. [ch4452]

CDRouter Security

  • Updated the ET Open ruleset shipped with the CDRouter Security expansion to version 9496. [ch5541]

CDRouter USP

  • The wildcard.cdroutertest.com-ca.pem file has been updated to remove an expired intermediate CA. The default USP controller server certificate chain now contain only one intermediate CA. [ch5573]

CDRouter Performance

  • The version of iPerf shipped with CDRouter has been updated to 3.8.1. [ch4926]

CDRouter SNMP

  • The snmp_301, snmp_wan_301, ipv6_snmp_301, and ipv6_snmp_wan_301 test cases have been updated. A new step has been added to the test procedure. These tests now verify that a good community string can be walked before attempting to walk a bad community string. [ch5109]

CDRouter DOCSIS

  • The snmp_docsis_301 and ipv6_snmp_docsis_301 test cases have been updated. A new step has been added to the test procedure. These tests now verify that a good community string can be walked before attempting to walk a bad community string. [ch5109]
