Security updates following new California State legislation (Senate Bill SB-327). These updates include: • The default Super User password must be changed at first log in to the NMC. • New Protocol Status Overview page in the Web UI, and banner in the CLI. These changes will not affect existing customers upgrading to 4.28.1. However, these changes will be the default settings for new customers, and existing customers running 4.28.1 who reset the NMC to its default values. E-mails associated with alarms and events are now sent once every 10 seconds. All alarms that occur in this 10 second period are sent in one e-mail.

When an e-mail certificate is uploaded via the Email Certificate Upload page, the name of the certificate is not displayed correctly in the File Name dropdown list on the Email Settings page for a specific user. The uploaded certificate will display as “FileName[x],” e.g. “FileName0,” “FileName1.”

If you are accessing the NMC Web UI in a localized language, e.g. French, when the back button (←) is pressed in the browser, the UI language will revert to English. To resolve the issue, log out of the NMC Web UI and log back in selecting your required language or using the browser default language.

When credentials are provided in StruxureWare Data Center Expert after adding the NMC via SNMP, the NMC still requires login credentials when attempting to access the Web UI. Issue

Enabling IPv6 via the serial console port interface may cause the console connection to unexpectedly disconnect.
