LoadMaster LMOS 7.2.48.2 Certified USGv6 Firmware
Release Notice: LoadMaster LMOS 7.2.48.2 Certified USGv6 firmware
Release Date: 24th November 2020
Update options from various LMOS versions to 7.2.48.2
Note: By default, verification of the digital signature on update images is required in LMOS 7.2.50 and above. See the Update Verification Options setting under System Administration > Miscellaneous Options > WUI Settings.
If the unit you are updating is set to require validation, you'll need to supply the following- XML Verification File supplied with this release during the update process:
- 7.2.48.2.19046.RELEASE.PATCH-64-MULTICORE-pre7.2.51.0.checksum.xml
- Use this file when updating a LoadMaster running a release that is LMOS 7.2.50 or
- 7.2.48.2.19046.RELEASE.PATCH-64-MULTICORE.checksum.xml
- Use this file when updating a LoadMaster running a release that is LMOS 7.2.51 or greater.
LoadMasters running an LMOS version prior to 7.2.49 do not provide the option of XML file verification in the UI or API. If you are upgrading/downgrading from one of these releases to 7.2.48.2, you can verify the digital signatures using a manual process documented on the support website.
- 7.2.48.2.19046.RELEASE.PATCH-64-MULTICORE-pre7.2.51.0.checksum.xml
- Use this file when verifying the digital signatures using the manual process
Note: The XML file verification is not part of the process of switching the active LoadMaster partition to the LMOS release that was running on LoadMaster before the last update.
