Fixes:

- Fixed a problem where an "Invalid Credentials" error is returned for SNMPv3 I/O attempts.
- If a DHCP server responds to a REQUEST with a NAK, the server will be ignored by the Jetdirect Client until it is rebooted. The NAK is sent by a server if the client requests an address that is not supported by the server; this happens if the client has moved to a new network and attempts to renew an address from the old network.
- Implemented DHCP option 144.
- Short default TTL value caused the product to use DNS lookup cache and overlook server IP address changes. This fix involved using the TTL value provided by the DNS server instead of a fixed default.
- Certificates signed with an MD5 hash are no longer accepted by the product and many popular applications. The product will automatically replace an internally generated selfsigned MD5 identity certificate with a new self-signed SHA256 identity certificate so that it maintains compatibility with current versions of popular applications.

About General Device Firmware:

Applying a newer firmware version than the one already installed on your unit can bring various enhancements, include workarounds for diverse problems encountered by the device, and improve or add newly developed features.

On the other hand, downgrading the firmware version can recover the device’s functionality in the event of a software update either turning up faulty or causing the unit’s overall performance to drop. However, bear in mind that applying an older firmware isn’t recommended and might not always be possible.

When it comes to the update steps, due to the large variety of devices and numerous ways for installing a new firmware, it is recommended that you carefully read and understand the upgrade steps, and consider applying a different firmware only when you have familiarized yourself with the update method.

As the installation process is most of the times quite risky, this step should be taken by users that have the ability to successfully complete the update; regular users may initiate it at their own risk. Moreover, it’s best that this task be performed in a steady power environment such as the one ensured by a UPS unit.

Therefore, if you consider applying this release, hit the download button, take into account all the aforementioned aspects, and update the device’s firmware. Also make sure you constantly check with our website to ensure that you don’t miss a single new release.
