PR60X Firmware Version 2.6.0.80

New Feature and Enhancements:

• Multiple WAN IP feature
  The Multiple WAN IP address feature allows different LAN services to bind to different WAN IP addresses. The following features support the Multiple WAN IP feature:
  • Outbound NAT rules
  • VPN
  • Port forwarding
• IPSec site-to-site enhancements:
  • Multiple VLAN support
  • UI enhancements for easier use
• Dual WAN Rule enhancement:
  • User-configured dual WAN rules take priority over the default failover rule. This allows you to better manage services for different Internet service providers (ISPs)
• SNMP:
  SNMP is an Internet standard protocol used for managing devices on IP networks. The following SNMP features are supported:
  • Versions: SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, and SNMPv3
  • Default and custom MIBs
  • Polling and traps

Bug Fixes:

• Fixes the issue where a DHCP server still works after being disabled.
• Fixes the issue where DHCP option 15 does not work properly.
• Fixes the issue where a broken IPSec site-to-site tunnel does not reconnect automatically.
• Fixes the issue where IP reservation from Insight is ignored when the device name is empty.

Known Issues:

• A WireGuard full-tunnel VPN client cannot access its local network because all traffic is directed to the VPN tunnel.
  Workaround: Disable the WireGuard client software “Block untunneled traffic” option or prevent the WireGuard VPN tunnel from accessing the local network.
• In a Dual WAN configuration, an IPSec tunnel shows the status as “UP” on the secondary WAN interface while the primary WAN interface is active.
  Workaround: The IPSec tunnel works on the active WAN interface. The other tunnel operates as a backup tunnel.
• You can configure the OpenVPN IP address range for VPN clients in the same subnet as the LAN and WAN subnets.
  Workaround: Configure the OpenVPN IP address range for VPN clients in a different subnet from the LAN and WAN subnets.
• Clients that are connected over VPN cannot access the Internet if the site-to-site remote IP address is the same as an IP address in the range for VPN clients.
  Workaround:  Make sure that the site-to-site remote IP address does not conflict with an IP address in the range for VPN clients.
• With more than one VLAN configured, the IP address of a connected client is not updated after the LAN IP address change
  Workaround: Disconnect and reconnect the LAN port network cable.
• The time stamp of a syslog entry does not adjust according to the local time zone.
  Workaround: Interpret the log events according to the system time.
