What’s New in 4.1

•Configuration is no longer allowed from the remote configuration manager.

•Some TCP parameters can be configured using the TCP Tuning Configuration mode.

•A hybrid transparent mode (transparent local-listen) has been added.

Operational Notes

•To negotiate a connection with FIPS 104-2-compliant servers configured on the SCA2, some client browsers must be configured with TLS only. SSL must be disabled, and data is still encrypted.

•The commands erase running-configand erase startup-configare not available in FIPS Mode.

•The 4.x and previous versions of Netscape can “hang” when client authentication fails. If this happens, the server must be rebooted.

•If using IIS authentication, the basic form of Secure URL Rewrite cannot be used. The redirectonly option should be used.

•Configuring a device using multiple sessions or methods simultaneously can cause undesirable results. We recommend only one session be used at a time to make configuration changes.

•After changing a device from one-port to two-port mode (and vice versa), write the configuration to flash and reload (reboot) the device for proper functioning.
