What's new in Digi IX10 version 25.2

Release of Digi IX10 LTS firmware version 25.2.

• We've adopted a Long-Term Support (LTS) release strategy. What does this mean for you?

  • Increased stability and security. Our LTS firmware is aligned with the Linux kernel LTS firmware, which means it is based on a stable and long-term supported version of the Linux kernel. This allows for regular security updates and bug fixes ensuring that the firmware benefits from the reliability and performance improvements provided by the LTS kernel.

    Note To see how we plan to respond to known security vulnerabilities in products that use the DAL OS firmware, see DAL Vulnerability Patch Policy on the digi.com website.

  • Fewer releases. Plan your updates without the pressure of a quarterly timebox.

    This is the first release of the LTS firmware. Patch releases for security or bug fixes will be released and announced throughout the year. Feature updates will be released and announced as they are ready.

• "Premium features" has been renamed to "Subscriptions".

  The word Subscriptions more accurately describes the services in which you have enrolled and the ongoing payments associated with them.

• Assign a static address to a network interface on a device with IPv6 enabled.

  When using IPv6, you can now assign a static address to a network interface on your device, ensuring consistent identification and connectivity of devices on the network.

• Improved disconnect/reconnect to Digi Remote Manager for a device when upgrading cellular modem firmware over the air (OTA).

  Device downtime is minimized so service is minimally interrupted.

• New banner notification in the Web UI and CLI.

  A new banner notice has been added to the web UI and CLI to indicate when the configuration of a device is being managed by a template in Digi Remote Manager. This is useful so that configuration changes to that device are not made locally. If there are issues with the device, then it is important to know that the configuration is enforced remotely and any changes you may make to the device for testing purposes or fixes may be overwritten by the template.

• Regional cellular modem firmware bundles are now available.

  Certain modems - Sierra EM9191 (Asia PAC) and EM7690 (worldwide) - have a lot of carrier-specific firmware images. Due to size constraints of the file system on the IX10, not all of these images could be included. Now you can choose the firmware bundle for your specific cellular modem.

• IPsec is now supported in FIPS mode.

  It's now easier for you to meet the federal security standards required by FIPS and keep sensitive data safe during transmission.

• FIPS mode is automatically enabled when PR mode is enabled.

  When in PR mode, It's now easier for you to meet the federal security standards required by FIPS and keep sensitive data safe during transmission.
