  • The latest version in the previous major line → any version in the current major line (for example: 6.10.7 → 7.3.25).
  • Any version in the current major line → any newer version in the current major line (for example: 7.0.15 → 7.3.25).
  • An upgrade to 7.5 can be only performed from version 7.3.25 or newer.
  • An upgrade to 7.10 can be only performed from version 7.5.14 or newer.

Clearing Browser Cache

After upgrading IP Fabric to a newer version, you should see the Your application has been updated and must be refreshed dialog in the main GUI.

It is usually sufficient to just click the Refresh button.

However, in case of issues with the main GUI or if you did not see the mentioned dialog, please force refresh your browser cache.

The key combination for doing this depends on your operating system. In your browser window with your IP Fabric appliance’s URL open, use one of the following key combinations:

  • Windows: Ctrl + F5
  • macOS: Command + Shift + R
  • Linux: Ctrl + F5

This will only affect the browser cache for the IP Fabric appliance.

Improvements

SSH client now recognizes SSH protocol version 2.99 and is able to connect to affected Cisco IOS devices.

Performance Improvements

The following Technology Tables have been optimized to improve performance and reduce load times:

  • MAC Table (Technology → Addressing)
  • 802.1x Secure ports - Interfaces (Technology → Security)
  • Transceivers Statistics (Technology → Interfaces)
  • Switchport (Technology → Interfaces)
  • Inbound load (Technology → Interfaces → Current Rates - Data)
  • Outbound load (Technology → Interfaces → Current Rates - Data)
  • STP VLANs (Technology → Spanning Tree)
  • Wireless Radios & BSSID associated to the Access Points (Technology → Wireless → Radios/BSSID)
  • Managed IPv6 addresses (Technology → Addressing → Managed IP)
  • L3 Gateways (Technology → VLANs)

Security Hardening

Default permissions for newly created user home directories have been changed.

  • Previous default: 0755 (rwxr-xr-x) — Home directories readable and traversable by all local users.
  • Current default: 0700 (rwx------) — Home directories are now accessible only by the owning user.

For more details, see Home Directory Permissions.

Vendor Support

  • Fortinet – Added support for collecting NAT46 and NAT64 configurations on FortiGate devices. These configurations are now visible in the NAT technology table.
  • GCP
    • Added support for classic and modern passthrough load balancers.
    • Added support for HA VPN gateways.
  • Meraki — Added support for Switch Stacks
    • Inventory behavior (single logical entity):
      • In Inventory → Devices, IP Fabric represents the entire switch stack as a single logical device.
      • The displayed serial number corresponds to the master switch.
      • Individual stack members are not listed as separate devices in Inventory.
      • Detailed information about all physical stack members (including device details and interfaces) is available under Technology → Platforms → Stack.
    • Path Lookup & Network Diagram behavior:
      • In Path Lookup and Network Diagram, IP Fabric visualizes the switch stack as a single logical node.
      • Individual stack members are not displayed as separate nodes.
  • Azure
    • Improved routing for Azure Virtual Hub.
    • Added support for Azure Firewall in Virtual WAN
      • Routing Intent must be enabled in order for IP Fabric to retrieve firewall effective routes.

Miscellaneous

  • The ipf-checker now reports more accurate values. These changes do not affect any functionality (only increased values are observed).
  • Improved prompt detection when logging in to a specific cluster node on Check Point Gaia.
