New Features
The following section details new applications introduced in this release.
OmniVista Cirrus Integration with OmniVista Network Advisor
OmniVista Network Advisor is an important troubleshooting tool that you can use to monitor the network and take action to correct detected network problems. When Network Advisor monitoring is enabled for a device(s), the device begins to send Syslog messages to the specified OmniVista Network Advisor instance. Network Advisor analyzes Syslog messages received from monitored devices to identify anomalies in the network. When an anomaly is detected, Network Advisor notifies system administrators and other authorized persons through Rainbow. Anomaly notifications can alert those receiving notifications that something, potentially serious, has taken place and even suggest steps to immediately remediate the problem.
OmniVista Cirrus integration with OmniVista Network Advisor allows you to configure Network Advisor monitoring for one or more managed devices. This process involves declaring Network Advisor instances that you can select and assign to managed devices.
- To declare Network Advisor instances to access in OmniVista Cirrus, a Network Advisor application widget is available to add to the Global Dashboard of the OmniVista Cirrus Home page. This widget displays a list of Network Advisor instances that are available to assign to managed devices. You can also open the website for a specific instance by clicking on Launch next to the list entry. To add or remove a Network Advisor instance, click the "More" link on the widget.
- After you have added the OmniVista Network Advisor widget to the Global Dashboard and declared Network Advisor instances, you can assign one or more managed devices to an instance. Once assigned to an instance, Network Advisor will begin monitoring that device to detect any anomalies defined in the Network Advisor application.
- For each Network Advisor instance, there is only one association configured with an OmniVista installation. A single OmniVista installation can support declaring multiple Network Advisor instances, but a single Network Advisor instance only supports synchronization with one OmniVista installation. As a result, there is no duplication of monitored devices across multiple Network Advisor instances; each instance monitors specific devices not monitored by other instances.
OmniVista Login via Active Directory (LDAP)
You can now authenticate OmniVista users via Active Directory (LDAP).
- Microsoft LDAP Active Directory (certified with version 10.0.20348.1) is used as the Authentication Server for OmniVista user login.
- When OmniVista is set up for user authentication via a remote LDAP/AD server, OmniVista acts as a client when communicating with the remote LDAP/AD server. SSL can be enabled for the server connection and an LDAPS certificate uploaded for client authentication.
RAP VPN VA Hypervisor Support
- RAP VPN VA deployment on KVM/Ubuntu 22.04 Long-Term Support (LTS) is now supported.
Application Updates/Enhancements
The following section details updates and enhancements to existing OmniVista Cirrus applications.
- Stellar BLE (Asset Tracking) Raw Data Sharing with Third-Party Application
- You can now push BLE scan information with raw data from a Stellar AP to application server.
- Support added for “Unknown RSSI” and “Unknown RSSI & rawData” BLE scanning types.
- AP Mesh Configuration Enhancement
- Support added for WPA3 encryption between APs in a mesh/bridge network configuration.
- New Guest Access Strategy Login Method
- Simple Persona login method now configurable for Guest Access Strategy.

- 123 - Relevant if you are using an NTP Server that is outside of your network. You must ensure that your firewall allows outbound access to port 123 UDP. This access cannot be mediated by a proxy, it must be direct (NAT is allowed). The following FQDNs should be allowed on this port:
- clock1.ovcirrus.com
- clock2.ovcirrus.com
- clock0.ovcirrus.com
- clock3.ovcirrus.com.
- 53 - Relevant if you are using a DNS Server that is outside of your network. You must ensure that your firewall allows outbound access to both port 53 tcp and port 53 UDP. This access cannot be mediated by a proxy, it must be direct (NAT is allowed).
NTP Server Requirements
An NTP Server(s) is required for Certificate validation (start date and duration), and all related encryption functions. Devices must have access to at least one NTP Server, whether local or external. Note that if a device's System Time is not correct, it may take several attempts to synchronize with the NTP Server before the device connects to the OmniVista Cirrus Server.
Device Prerequisites
The minimum device software versions for onboarding and management can be found here.
When licensed devices call home, OmniVista Cirrus checks the software versions the devices are running and, if necessary, triggers an update of the device to the software required to support OmniVista Cirrus 4.7.1. In addition, a software update for a device can be manually triggered from the device list.
Supported Devices
A full list of ALE supported devices/AOS releases can be found here.
Countries of Service and Hosting
A list of countries where Alcatel-Lucent complies with local regulations and hosts OmniVista Cirrus cloud-based service can be found here.
Scalability
The maximum number of devices supported per OmnniVista Cirrus single instance is 5000 devices in total ( up to 4000 Stellar APs). For single instances with a larger device deployment, consider the Managed Service Provider (MSP) dashboard for Multi-tenancy which offers deployment flexibility for very large organizations. Please contact your Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise representative for an overview of deployment solutions.
REST API Management
You can use REST APIs for scripting or integration with any third-party systems in your management network. Available OmniVista REST APIs can be found here https://ovc4x.ovcirrus.com/api
Issues/Workarounds
AP Registration
Cannot Re-Upload a New Upload Key File When Creating an 802.1X Certificate (OVE-12732)
Summary: When you re-load an “Upload Key File” with the same name as the existing key file, the “Import” button is disabled. Files with the same name cannot be uploaded again.
Workaround: Upload a file with a different name.
Syslog Over TLS Certificate Name Must Not Contain a Space (OVE-12702)
Summary: When creating a Syslog Over TLS Certificate, make sure there are no spaces in the certificate name. For example, “SyslogTLS” is correct, but “Syslog TLS” is not correct and will not be accepted.
Workaround: Specify a certificate name that does not contain any spaces.
Device Catalog
OV Managed Device Automatically Deleted and License Unassigned (OVC-4683)
Summary: A currently managed device can be automatically deleted, its license unassigned, and the device moved to “Registered” if the IP address assignments of devices are changed.
For example, suppose there are two devices discovered and managed by OmniVista: Device1 with IP address "IP1", and Device2 with IP address "IP2". At some point, the IP Address assignment for these devices are changed as follows: Device1 IP address is changed from "IP1" to "IP2"; and Device2 IP address is changed from "IP2" to something else. This scenario could happen, for example, if the DHCP Server is restarted and does not attempt to give the same IP address as before to the DHCP clients.
If Device1 is then rediscovered (as part of periodic polling or by a manual user action), Device2 will be deleted from OmniVista when OmniVista discovers that Device1 now has the "IP2" IP address to avoid the situation where two devices have the same IP address in OmniVista.
Workaround: NA - Informational.
Upgrades Are Triggered Differently for 6x and 8x Switches (OVC-435)
Summary: The Activation Server checks the "current software version" from the switches to determine whether a switch should upgrade or not. Because of the different behaviors of 6x and 8x Switches, there may be some inconsistencies about when a switch will be triggered to upgrade.
- AOS 8x switches send current software version of the current running directory.
- AOS 6x switches send current software version of WORKING directory when in sync.
Example AOS 6x:
Assume switch comes up in the Certified Directory.
Assume /flash/working has the same image version as "desired software version" set in Device Catalog, whereas /flash/certified has a lower version. Since AOS 6x sends current software version of /flash/working, upgrade will NOT be triggered on the switch.
Example AOS 8x:
Assume switch comes up in the Certified Directory.
Assume /flash/cloud has the same image version as "desired software version" set in Device Catalog, whereas /flash/certified has a lower version. Since AOS 8x sends current software version of current running directory which is /flash/certified. there will be an upgrade. The switch will download the desired software version to /flash/cloud and reboots from /flash/cloud.
Workaround: NA - Informational.
Auto-Upgrade for Switches Running Lower Than AOS 6.7.2.R7 (OVC-8103)
Summary: Switches running an AOS version lower than 6.7.2.R7 will be automatically upgraded to AOS 6.7.2.R7 even if you select the "Do Not Upgrade" option when adding the device to the Device Catalog.
Workaround: N/A - Informational.
Management IP of a Device Is Not Updated in OmniVista Cirrus When the Management IP Is Changed on the Device (OVC-9757)
Summary: When the IP address allocated to a Switch/AP device by DHCP is changed on the device, the IP address is not automatically updated for the device entry in the OmniVista Cirrus Managed Devices and Device Catalog lists.
Workaround: Edit the Managed Devices list entry for the Switch/AP device and manually update the IP address.
Inventory
Upgrade Workflow Should Be Changed When Device Is Loaded From Certified Directory (OVC-435)
Summary: When an AOS 6.x Switch with "Set to Software Version" set to "Latest Version" contacts the OmniVista Server, the server checks the Working Directory to see if it is running the latest AOS software. If the Working Directory contains the latest software version, an upgrade will not be triggered, even if the Certified Directory is running on an older software version. To upgrade the Certified Directory to the latest software, reboot the switch from the Working Directory.
Workaround: NA - Informational.
Can't Display Running Directory Information for NaaS Device in Degraded Mode (OVE-11416)
Summary: When you launch an SSH session to a NaaS device in the Degraded License Mode and send the show running-directory command, an error message is displayed. For example:
-> show running-directory
ERROR: CLI commands are blocked in Naas license degraded mode.
Workaround: No workaround at this time.
OmniVista does not Indicate Failure Reason when NaaS Device is in Degraded Mode (OVE-11475)
Summary: OmniVista does not indicate the reason for a failure when a configuration or software upgrade through Managed Devices fails because the NaaS license has expired on the device.
Workaround: No workaround at this time.
mDNS
mDNS Server and Client Policy: UI Offers Policy Lists in "Access Role Profile" Drop-Down (OVE-10559)
Summary: When creating or editing an mDNS Server or Client Policy, the Access Role Profile drop-down is populated with Unified Policy Lists, not Access Role Profiles.
Workaround: Do not use the drop-down list suggestions. Manually enter the Access Role Profile Name in the field and click on the Add icon (+) to configure an Access Role Profile for the policy.
Notifications
The alaNaasLicenseInstalledAlert Trap Shows the Wrong Value (OVE-11374)
Summary: When a Naas license (Management, Upgrade, Essential, Advanced) is installed on a switch, the alaNaasLicenseInstalledAlert trap is sent. However, when the trap is viewed on the Notifications Home Screen (Network – Notifications) the trap displays incorrect values.
Workaround: No workaround at this time.
The NaaS VC Device Sends the alaNaasInconsistentModeAlert Trap Multiple Times (OVE-11414)
Summary: When a device in a VC configuration changes mode (for example, CAPEX to NaaS), the alaNaasInconsistentModeAlert Trap is sent multiple times and absorbed into the trapAbsorptionTrap. The alaNaasInconsistenModeAlert Trap should only be sent once when an inconsistent mode is detected.
Workaround: No workaround at this time.
The NaaS License Expiry Time is Reported in the Number of Whole Days Remaining until the License Expires (OVE-11415)
Summary: On a NaaS device, the show naas license CLI command displays the Expiry Time. This reflects the number of whole days (24 hours/day) until the license expires. For example, If the time remaining until expiration is 30 days and 21 hours, the Expiry Time is reported as 30 days not 31 days.
A NaaS device sends the alaNaasExpirtyDayAlert trap at 30 days, 7 days, and 0 days. If the remaining time before the license expires is 10 hours, this trap is not sent until those 10 hours have elapsed. However, the Expiry Time will show “0 days”.
Workaround: No workaround at this time.
The Days Left for Expiry is Incorrect for an AP NaaS License (OVC-9151)
Summary: The “Days Left for Expiry” field on the NaaS License Information on Device screen does not display the correct number of days until the license expires for an AP device.
Workaround: Refer to the "Expiry Date" field instead.
UPAM
HTTPs Traffic is Not redirected to Portal Page for an HSTS Website (OVC-1777)
Summary: The first time a user opens an HSTS website, they are redirected to the portal page, as expected. The second time a user opens an HSTS website, the redirection will not work. If the user clears browser cache and retries connecting to the HSTS website, it will work. The behavior depends on the browser used. Chrome is very strict, so the problem is always seen, Firefox is not as strict; the problem will still happen but not as frequently.
Workaround: There is no workaround at this time.
No IPv4 or IPv6 Value Displayed in UPAM Authentication Record (OVC-6061)
Summary: Client IP address is not displayed in UPAM Authentication Record.
Workaround: No workaround at this time.
Delay in UPAM Interactions After Subscriber Gets a Paid Account (OVC-6806)
Summary: After a subscriber gets a paid account, UPAM related interactions will not work until free radius server is restarted (at 00:00 AM the subsequent day).
Workaround: There will be a delay in realizing any expected changes in UPAM function when any of the following occurs:
- Creation of a new tenant
- Activation of a different RADIUS Server Certificate
- Synchronization of RADIUS Attribute Dictionary at OmniVista with RADIUS Server
- Edit of NAS Client details.
After any of the above actions, expected UPAM changes will take effect after the following midnight (00:01 a.m. PST), as these require a restart of the OmniVista internal RADIUS Server. The OmniVista internal RADIUS Server is restarted periodically at midnight PST. All tenants sharing the same OmniVista VM will experience a brief period of interruption of UPAM RADIUS functionality during this periodic restart.
WiFi4EU not Connected to Captive Portal (OVE-11164)
Summary: The validity period for Captive Portal authentication defaults to 30 days, but WiFi4EU requirement is maximum 24 hours.
Workaround: There is no workaround.
The UI Does Not Offer a TLS Port Field When TLS is Enabled for RADIUS Server (OVE-12747)
Summary: When creating a TLS-enabled Radius server, the Create RADIUS Server screen (Security – Authentication Servers – Radius) does not offer a field to specify the TLS Port value.
Workaround; Specify the TLS Port value in the “Authentication Port” field, which is 2083 by default.
OmniVista ClearPass Integration Fails When Adding APs to AP Group (OVE-12378)
Summary: When a new AP is added to an AP Group, the configuration is not automatically added to the ClearPass Device List or the AP. Automatic synchronization with ClearPass when a new AP device is added to an AP Group is not supported.
Workaround: Use the “override” function to re-apply the ClearPass configuration to the new AP devices.
Web Content Filtering
If an AP Client is using a Mobile Application, WCF does not Work (OVE-10205)
Summary: When client access uses a mobile application (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc.), there are no restrictions; the application is not blocked and will load properly, as if WCF is disabled on the AP.
Workaround: No workaround at this time.
WCF Limitation when a Client Accesses the Internet through an HTTP/HTTPS Proxy (OVE-11466)
Summary: When a client is behind a proxy, the client doesn’t request the AP to resolve the DNS query but directly requests the proxy server. As a result, the AP does not get the opportunity to perform the WCF function, so the accept/reject of a website does not work as configured/expected by the user on OmniVista.
Workaround: No workaround at this time.
WLAN
Client Name Field Blank for Clients Running iOS 14 (OVC-8287)
Summary: The Client Name field in the “List of All Client on All APs” is not displayed for devices running iOS 14.
Workaround: No workaround at this time. The problem occurs on devices running iOS 14 as they do not send Option 12 in the DHCP message.
RF Profile Not Supported on AP1201BG (OVE-10781)
Summary: Stellar OAW-AP1201BG does not support RF profiles, as it is a BLE gateway.
Workaround: No workaround at this time.
Social Login Fail with Google Account (OVC-8901)
Summary: The default list of URLs shown when selecting Social login vendors (Google, Facebook…) does not include country specific URLs.
Workaround: Manually add/append the required URLs to the list of “Whitelist Domains” when you configure the SSID.
Stellar AP Connectivity to OS22x60 does not Work (OVE-11467)
Summary: The trust VLAN tag option on OS22x60 ports connected to a Stellar AP does not work. As a result, the wireless client VLAN-tagged traffic forwarded by the AP to the switch is blocked.
Workaround: No workaround at this time.
Other
If You Remove a Master from a Virtual Chassis Slave Devices Lose Connectivity
Summary: If You Remove a Master from a Virtual Chassis (VC), Slave devices Lose Connectivity Due to stale certificates. Devices use a certificate to communicate with OmniVista Cirrus. This certificate is given to the devices by the OmniVista Cirrus on their first Activation attempt. In a VC, the Master chassis is issued a certificate for its Serial Number and this certificate is copied over to all the Slaves. If the owner of the certificate (Master) is removed permanently from the VC, the remaining chassis will form a VC and attempt activation using the certificate of the old Master but will be unable to activate using this certificate. Customers should raise a ticket with ALE Customer Support to overcome this issue. After understanding the VC topology, ALE Customer Support might take a decision to remove the certificate from the VC and enable the remaining chassis in the VC to attempt Cloud Activation afresh.
Workaround: Raise a ticket with ALE Customer Support. After investigating the VC topology, ALE Customer Support may decide to remove the certificate from the VC and enable the remaining chassis in the VC to re-attempt activation.
Problem Connecting to Switch with OV Assistant When Multiple Bluetooth Dongles Present (OVC-7240)
Summary: The OmniVista Assistant uses the Bluetooth dongle MAC address to initiate a connection to a switch. If multiple Bluetooth dongles are active at the same time, OmniVista Assistant may initiate a connection to an unexpected dongle.
Workaround: Make sure there are no other active Bluetooth dongles in the area. And make sure the correct model and serial number appear under "Paired Devices" before initiating a connection to a switch.
Device Does Not Display When Editing a Scheduler Job (OVC-9798)
Summary:
When you change the Device Naming to System Name, IP Address (System Name), or System Name (IP Address), the device list does not display when you edit the scheduled job.
Workaround: Change the Device Naming to IP Address, then edit the scheduled job. Device Naming is configured through the Preferences application (Administration – Preferences – User Settings).
Statistics Collection May Stop if SNMP Credentials are Changed (OVE-13114)
Summary:
When you select the switch for the statistics "default profile" or a custom profile, OmniVista creates a corresponding configuration file for the switch to collect the statistics data. Usually, if the user changes the SNMP username/password, OmniVista sends an event to the Statistics service to update the configuration file of the switch. The event contains the old switch information and the new switch information, which the Statistics service compares and realizes the changed SNMP username/password.
Unfortunately, if you discover the switch OR OmniVista periodically polls data when the Statistics service handles the event, the old switch information is overridden, and the new SNMP username/password isn't realized to update the configuration file.
Workaround: When the SNMP credentials are changed, manually stop and then start the statistics collection.
