Ubiquiti EdgeRouter ER-8-XG Router Firmware 1.10.0 Description

New features:

- [Ssh-recovery] - This is new service which starts during early boot stage and provides emergency SSH access via IPv6 link-local address. ssh-recovery can be used to access shell from directly connected neighbor if router is not accessible by normal means. By default ssh-recovery service is listening on port 60257 on all ethernet interfaces and it is automatically terminated 60 seconds after boot.
- [Iperf] - Added iperf 2.0.3 which will be used by UNMS to measure bandwidth towards AirMAX devices
- [UBNT-discover] - Add CLI command to disable "ubnt-discovery" daemon, thus ER will stop responding to discovery messages on 10001 UDP port. (set service ubnt-discover-server disable).
- [BGP] - Add support for BGP extended community that allows setting 4-byte AS numbers (set policy route-map xxx rule 42 set extcommunity rt 1234567:3200).

Enhancements and bug fixes:

- [WebGUI] - Add link to UMobile app to the login page
- [WebGUI] - Show full FW version in system version tooltip
- [WebGUI] - Display warning if UF-RJ45-1G has invalid speed
- [WebGUI] - Add tooltips for ports whose speeds can't be changed on ER8-XG
- [WebGUI] - fix XSS vulnerability in GUI when creating new user
- [WebGUI] - fixed security vulnerability when operator user was able to rewrite any file by abusing poorly validated fields in "Packet capture" WebGUI window
- [WebGUI] - added UNMS status to WebGUI dashboard
- [WebGUI] - Fix stored XSS in Routing window
- [WebGUI] - Add "Download tech-support file" button in WebGUI
- [Routing] - Add watchdog for critical routing daemons (nsm, ribd, ospfd, bgpd...) which will restore crashed daemon
- [BGP] - Fix bug when BGP session was closed if "BGP_ATTR_FLAG_PARTIAL" flag was missing in AS4_PATH attribute.
- [BGP] - Fix bug when name of BGP community-list was parsed incorrectly allowing bad name to pass validation
- [Security] - Fix security vulnerability when partial contents of console buffer could be leaked via web socket connection
- [Interfaces] - Fix bug when auto-negotiation did not work on ER-PoE.
- [Interfaces] - Fix regression in 1.9.7 when POE was randomly not turning on after reboot on ER-X-SFP.
- [Dnsmasq] - Fix bug when dnsmasq did not start if DHCP server functionality was disabled and DNS "service dns forwarding except-interface" was set.
- [DHCP] - Add static ARP support for DHCP-leased IPs with "set service dhcp-server static-arp"
- [DHCP] - Fix invalid characters in client's hostname.
- [DHCP] - Fix bug when 2nd DHCP client could not receive address from DHCP server if IPv4 offloading was enabled on Cavium-based routers (ER, ER-8-pro, ER-4, ER-6, ER-lite, ER-poe).
- [DHCP] - Add global DHCP client options to configuration (set interfaces ethernet eth0 dhcp-options global-option xxx).
- [Firewall] - add a contiguous option to firewall time extension "set firewall name xxx rule yyy time contiguous..."
- [System] - Increase maximum ARP/NDP cache table size
- [System] - Coredumps will not be generated anymore unless explicitly enabled with "set system coredump enabled"
- [System] - Fix bug when "ubnt-utils" daemon randomly crashed.
- [System] - Fix bug when ER-4 and ER-6 randomly hanged
- [CLI] - Improve speed of multiple CLI commands in following areas - interfaces, static-route, ospf, ospfv3, policy, dhcp, dns, pppoe-server, qos.
- [CLI] - Fix hostname validation when configuring static-mapping.
- [Offload] - Fix packet reordering issue on Cavium-based routes. Now you can remove workaround that fixed this issue by forcing single-core RX processing.
- [Offload] - Remove spurious warning messages from Cavium offload module when handling IPSec traffic
- [Offload] - Fixed bug in PPPoE offloading on Cavium-based routers when packets with incorrect IP checksum caused corrupted downloads (this fix works on all models except ER-Infinity).
- [FlowAccounting] - Added flow-accounting via ipt-netflow which performs better (+25% max throughput) comparing to original pmacct netflow implementation. This ipt-netflow can be configured in CLI with "set system flow-accounting-ipt ..."
- [Flow-accounting] - fix bug when flow-accounting detection failed.
- [Kernel] - Fix bug when ER randomly rebooted on Cavium-based routers. and here and many other threads on forum.
- [L2tpv3] - Fix bug when l2tpv3 interface could not be added to bridge during boot
- [Switch] - Fix bug when last interface could not be removed from switch via GUI
- [Switch] - Fix bug when address could be set to interface which is assigned to switch
- [SNMP] - Improve snmp performance by moving cache from flash storage to tmpfs.This also fixed random kernel crashes when SNMP updating cache in tight loop
- [Boot] - Decrease boot delay on ER-X from 5 seconds to 1 second
- [UNMS] - Fix bug when /tmp/sysd-save.xxxx files sometimes were not deleted if UNMS was enabled
- [UNMS] - Fix Remote Code Execution via UNMS
- [PPPoE] - Add description to pppoe interface.
- [DNS] - Fix bug when namesevers were randomly erased from '/etc/resolv.conf' file.
- [EULA] - Update EULA

Updated software components:

- [Kernel] - upgraded Linux kernel to 3.10.107
- [DHCP] - upgraded ISC DHCP to 4.1-ESV-R8

Known issues:

- Bug with corrupted downloads via PPPoE interface is not fixed for ER-8-XG (it is fixed on all other ER models). Workaround - disable PPPoE offloading.
- Failover load-balancing stops working after reconfiguration (it works fine when configuring load-balancing for the first time or after reboot). Workaround - reset ubnt-util daemon after reconfiguring load-balancing.
- The ubnt-util daemon randomly crashes and following message is visible in syslog.

About Router Firmware:

Before you consider downloading this firmware, go to the system information page of the router and make sure that the currently installed version isn't either newer or matching this release.

Due to the large variety of router models and different methods for upgrading the device, it is highly recommended that you read and, above all, understand the installation steps before you apply the new firmware, even if you are a power user.

In theory, these steps shouldn't be much of a hassle for anyone, because manufacturers try to make them as easy as possible, even if they don't always succeed. Basically, you must upload the new firmware to the router through its administration page and allow it to upgrade.

If you install a new version, you can expect increased security levels, different vulnerability issues to be resolved, improved overall performance and transfer speeds, enhanced compatibility with other devices, added support for newly developed technologies, as well as several other changes.

If you're looking for certain safety measures, remember that it would be best if you perform the upload using an Ethernet cable rather than a wireless connection, which can be interrupted easily. Also, make sure you don't power off the router or use its buttons during the installation, if you wish avoid any malfunctions.

If this firmware meets your current needs, get the desired version and apply it to your router unit; if not, check with our website as often as possible so that you don't miss the update that will improve your device.

  It is highly recommended to always use the most recent driver version available.

Try to set a system restore point before installing a device driver. This will help if you installed an incorrect or mismatched driver. Problems can arise when your hardware device is too old or not supported any longer.
