Full Changelog:
We have a few minor known issues to be aware of in Network Scan:= Version 2.6.2 =
Features:
Improved Dashboard load speeds on large deployments
Optimized disk usage of large-scale DB upgrade procedures
Optimized memory usage of large-scale DB upgrade procedures
Added a column to the Users table to show if MFA is active for an account
Various minor UI / UX improvements and tweaks
Improved credential discovery to support devices that disconnect the SSH session on wrong credentials instead of reporting auth failure
Improved handling of virtual environments on CheckPoint Gaia-based devices
Multiple improvements and optimizations to the Discovery logic and algorithm
Added a configuration option to allow security handlers in more than just the 1st page of device output
Added support for pagination on Fulcrum switches
Improved built-in dynamic filters for Netgear devices
Substantial speed improvements to the DB upgrade procedure:
- when upgrading from 2.5 (or older), the DB upgrade could take a very long time on large deploys
- we have substantially improved the DB upgrade duration, in some cases it's decreased by 60%
- please note on very large deploys, the DB upgrade can still take up to an hour
Added a progress bar to the DB upgrade procedure:
- since upgrade from 2.5 (or older) to 2.6 can take longer time, we have added a progress bar
- during the startup, you will see both the number of migration steps, as well as actual progress of each step
- number of steps out of total steps for the upgrade is reported
- for steps that take longer, a progress bar of the step's internal progress will be shown as well
Added an option to unlock the DB and retry an upgrade directly in the GUI:
- when a DB upgrade was interrupted (such as restarting Unimus during an DB upgrade), a stale lock would be left in the DB
- we added a button that will allow you to free the lock directly from the GUI instead of having to go to the DB manually
Improved handling of multi-context Cisco ASA backups:
- if logging in to a multi-context ASA as non-admin, and can't switch to system, just backup the current context
- if transition to the system context is possible, all contexts will automatically be backed up
- single-context ASAs will be backed up as before, the config will just be retrieved
Added support for:
- Fiberstore (FS.com) S2800 series
- Fiberstore (FS.com) S3200 series
- Planet GS switches
- Planet SG switches
Fixes:
Fixed Unimus could consume too much memory when searching if a change happened on devices with large backup histories
Fixed Unimus could consume too much memory (and run out of memory) during DB upgrades on large deployments
Fixed errors in the log when attempting to visit invalid URIs
Fixed closing the Device CLI (new in 2.6.0) could not close the backend session to the device in some cases
Fixed Discovery would fail on devices which disconnect SSH on wrong credentials rather than properly report auth failure
Fixed Discovery failing on Netgear switches with specific firmware versions
Fixed Discovery failing on specific models of Palnet switches
Fixed Discovery failing on 6Wind devices
Fixed Discovery failing on Wi-Tek switches with newer firmware versions
Fixed Backup could fail on Accedian NIDs with specific firmware versions
Fixed jobs failing on Aruba AOS / ProCurve / Provision with enabled security prompts
Fixed jobs failing on Fulcrum switches with enabled pagination
Fixed jobs failing on Positron GAM when hostname was not set
Fixed jobs failing on Grandstream GWN switches
Security fixes:
Disabling MFA now requires the user to enter their password
Added log messages when MFA for user is enabled or disabled
Added log messages when an MFA backup code is used
