Features Description

PSK Rotation

This feature offers the ability to rotate the PSK on FAR and HER to enhance network security.

PSK Challenge String Support

Enhances the security between FND and FAR in the SUDI+PSK based tunnel management.

Exporting Mesh Routing Tree Data

Supports exporting the mesh routing tree information of the parent and child nodes into an Excel file.

CGMS Certificate Renewal for Routers

Support for automated CGMS and/or CA certificate renewal for router.

Support Mesh Parent for L+G Endpoints

FND displays the mesh parent value as 1 for L+G endpoints.

IPAM for All Interfaces

IP address management is supported for all interfaces. You can define multiple subnets and allocate the IP addresses from those subnets to the interfaces in IoT FND. This removes the dependency of relying on a third-party DHCP server.

Upgrade IOS Image during Bootstrapping – IR1800 and IR8100

Allows to perform firmware image upgrade on IR1800 and IR8100 devices from versions 17.13.01 and above. During bootstrapping, you can enter a different image if the installed image at manufacturing is inappropriate. For PNP skip updates, define the firmware versions separated by commas in the pnp-skip-update-ios-xe-fw-versions property in cgms.properties.

Integrating Third-Party Endpoints in IoT FND through CSMP

Periodic metric and configuration push for report interval are supported in the phase 2 of CSMP.
