[Known Issue] [v8.4.1] SpeedFusion may get stuck on "Updating Routes" if no devices are connected to LAN port.

Ref.: #31185, #31917

Details:
SpeedFusion may get stuck on “Updating Routes” if no devices are physically connected to a remote peer’s LAN port.

This issue arises due to an update in the OSPF protocol, which now recognizes the “link state” of advertised networks. If the link state is down for a specific network, meaning no devices are physically connected to the port, the network will not be advertised.

Affected firmware version:
8.4.1

Fixed in firmware version:
8.4.1s032

Workaround:
We have developed a special firmware, 8.4.1s032 (based on the 8.4.1 GA), which reverts this change, allowing OSPF to function as it did in version 8.4.0. However, if you need to remain on version 8.4.1, simply connect any device to the LAN port to activate it, and the routes will then be exchanged successfully.

In the next firmware release, we will introduce an option to enable or disable this behavior. For users requiring link state awareness for OSPF, there will be a dedicated UI to enable this function.

Here are the download links for the special firmware (8.4.1s032):

Hello @WeiMing,
Rather than manually adding these to each customer InControl2 organisation, can this special release be made available for all InControl2 organisations to select from the dropdown firmware options (instead of creating a custom firmware)?
Appreciate your assistance,
Marcus :slight_smile:
