Great work guys! Amazing set of improvements and new features with the new firmware.

I found a bug where when changes of a LAN port settings are automatically applied to both Ethernet ports of MAX Transit Duo Pro. I can’t access my lab router for several days, thus can’t produce a diagnostic report and create a ticket.

Hopefully the engineering team can reproduce and fix this bug.

@jakub.nowicki let us do a quick check to validate the reported symptom and report back here.

[Update]
We tried it (firmware 8.6.0 Beta 1) on the MAX Transit Pro E (similar HW platform) with a various LAN Settings, eg. Port Speed, VLAN Trunk & Access, etc, but do not see the same behavior (screen capture below). Can you share the settings/procedure of testing that show such an issue?

I put it onto a Balance 20x, it was crashing constantly so I rolled it back. I will re-test another one shortly.

@bryn.loftus we have one unit upgraded to 8.6.0 Beta 1 yesterday and uptime 16 hours+ without issue.

Maybe you can log a ticket for our team to take a closer look at the device?

Hey Bryn,

There also appears to be an issue with Enforced WAN1 outbound policy for VLAN clients on our new B One router.
The same behavior is reproducible on firmware 8.5.4 GA, so it does not seem to be limited to the beta version.
In our case, traffic from a VLAN client (QNAP NAS) is partially routed via WAN2, even though an Enforced WAN1 rule is configured.
See support ticket #26050058 for details.
