The following issues, all of which were new in 2.3.48.0, have been resolved in this release.
PD-14046 |
Bare Metal: On certain bare metal models, network interfaces no longer work after upgrade to 7.2.48. This issue has been fixed. |
PD-14038 |
API: The PowerShell API "Remove-SplaInstance" is broken due to changes in the RESTful API "kill_spla_instance" response. This issue has been fixed. |
PD-14036 |
API: The PowerShell API "Get-LicenseType" is broken due to changes in the RESTful API "alsilicensetypes" response. This issue has been fixed. |

Licensing: After upgrade, Trial deployments have the 'Offline Licensing' option grayed out (non-selectable) on the 'Update License' page. This issue has been fixed. |
Existing Known Issues
The following known issues appeared in the Release Notes for the previous release.
PD-13873 |
10 Gb Interfaces (AWS only): The AWS driver for 10 Gb interfaces (ENA) does not provide a link indication in its output, and so ‘No Link’ is the status displayed for a 10 Gb interface on AWS. Interface graphs for 10 Gb interfaces on the statistics page are not scaled properly, and so can run off the display; this will be addressed in a future release. |
PD-12653 |
Networking: A Hyper-V VM won't boot when a 4th NIC is added. |
PD-12616 |
WAF / Compression: With Web Application Firewall (WAF) enabled, compressed files are incorrectly decompressed. As a workaround, ensure compression is enabled in VS Advanced Properties by selecting the Enable Compression option. |
PD-12492 |
Downgrade: If an Azure VLM is downgraded to the LTS firmware release (7.1.35.x), the WUI may display in the top right-hand corner that the VLM is a Hyper-V VLM. This indicates that the Azure VLM Add-On Package must be added to the system to provide full Azure VLM functionality. If this occurs, please contact Kemp Support to get the required add-on package. |
PD-12354 |
Hardware Support: The LoadMasters LM-X25 and LM-X40 do not support the following SFP+ modules in this release: LM-SFP-SX (SFP+ SX Transceiver 1000BASE-SX 850nm, 550m over MMF), LM-SFP-LX (SFP+ LX Transceiver 1000BASE-LX 1310nm, 10KM over SMF). |
PD-12237 |
HA / NTP: Configuring NTP for the first time after the system is running in High Availability (HA) mode and when the current time on the machines is not correct, may cause the systems to both go into the Master state. |
PD-12147 |
ESP / RADIUS: In a LoadMaster configuration with ESP and Radius server-side authentication enabled, sessions may fail to be established. |
PD-12058 |
Browser Support: An issue exists when connecting to the LoadMaster WUI when using newer versions of the Firefox browser on initial configuration of a hardware FIPS LoadMaster. |
PD-11861 |
RADIUS / IPv6: IPv6 is not supported by the current RADIUS implementation in the LoadMaster for both WUI Authorization and ESP Authentication. |
PD-11166 |
Networking: Azure LoadMasters are not translating the additional network address between the Master and Slave correctly. |
PD-11044 |
Sharepoint Virtual Services: A second authentication prompt is presented when a file is uploaded to SharePoint with the following configuration: WAF is configured with Process Responses enabled on the main Virtual Service and KCD is enabled on the SubVS level for server-side authentication. |
PD-10917 |
HA: An issue exists when setting up a 2-armed HA Virtual LoadMaster in Azure. |
