Dsi Firmware Versions

[Abbie Pilz]

Apart from analyzes and vulnerability tests, I am mainly looking for a solution that would allow me to be notified of new versions of firmware available for my equipment. And potentially security vulnerabilities detected on current versions and how to fix them.

Finally, as per my knowledge (which is not 100% complete admittedly), while Greenbone will detect vulnerabilities in outdated software, it does not provide firmware status notification such as you seem to be looking for. To achieve this goal I would look to the hardware vendors themselves for notification services (such as for Fortinet here) that will keep you informed of the firmware status for the products in your tech stack.

Deco X20 V3 also has a similar firmware 1.1.0 which was released a week ago. If the Deco APP is unable to detect this version, you could download the firmware here and manually update it via the web management page:

@David-TP Thanks so much for the quick response and thank you for confirmation that I can apply this manually.

I am at the management webUI and can see the firmware upgrade options within. I am just a little hesitant to apply the firmware as there appears to be no way to target only the Deco unit which requires this update. Can you confirm that the system is intelligent to recognize which units it should update without causing issues to the other units?

Many thanks
Mike

I have it all separated into three zones each with an IAP as a virtual controller in each zone. I want to make an IAP-315 act as the virtual controller once I am finished. Right now the firmware difference is the big issue.

Thanks for your reply. I understand that the versions "should" be compatible, but if I install the latest (and last) FW version on the 205s will they be compatible with the FW version on 315s, even though the FW versions will be different?

The AP-205s can not run 8.x code. The highest you could run is in the 6.5.x range. The IAP-315 would have to be on the same version. The Aruba Support Portal can help you narrow down a version that would work on both.

My R6 has firmware version 1.4. Canon released several updates. Do I need to load each in succession or can I just install the latest version 1.5.2 ? I am prettry sure I can just do the latest, but I am checking just in case.

Thank you but the XG/XGS doesnt have previous firmware versions like the UTM link. Its instances where you're XG/XGS and its backups fall out of line of what is available to download should it brick/fail.

Sorry my fault for not explaining further. Im a silver partner and we have UTM, XG and XGS customers and happen to notice the issue first with UTM firmware and then it was an after thought on XG and XGS.

Newly created networks will need up to 4 hours of the device being online before it will allow a firmware upgrade to be scheduled. If you need it done sooner Support can force it through if you open a case.

Firmware is a form of microcode or program embedded into hardware devices to help them operate effectively. Hardware like cameras, mobile phones, network cards, optical drives, printers, routers, scanners, and television remotes rely on firmware built into their memory to function smoothly.

Hardware manufacturers regularly release firmware updates so their devices remain secure and compatible with new media. For example, Android and iOS devices periodically get firmware updates that enhance their performance, add new features, and protect them against security threats and vulnerabilities. Updates for firmware for devices like game consoles and televisions are typically done by accepting prompts to download and install the latest patch.

Aside from the device startup process, the BIOS is responsible for checking the Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS), which is a piece of memory that stores BIOS settings, and other chips on a device. It also checks signals that are sent to the RAM, such as when a user presses a key, to help the operating system understand what action to take.

The original EFI firmware is used in Macs and can only support Intel processors. Unified EFI (UEFI) is a piece of firmware designed to replace the BIOS in new Windows computers and supports AMD and Intel processors. UEFI is used to load and start up operating systems in devices that run Windows 8 and beyond.

The firmware version of a hardware device can be discovered by opening the Devices Manager folder, selecting the hardware, and clicking Properties. Within the Details tab, navigate to the Property menu, open the Hardware IDs option, and the firmware version will be listed in the Value table.

Firmware updates enable hardware devices to continue operating efficiently and securely. These updates typically involve some form of program alteration that fixes a known bug or patches against specific vulnerabilities.

Hardware devices are vulnerable to firmware attacks, which can lead to hackers embedding malware into the firmware. The BIOS has proven to be particularly insecure because different devices often share the same code, enabling attackers to discover and exploit common vulnerabilities.

Furthermore, devices like laptops are packed with firmware that powers hardware like batteries, sound cards, and webcams. This introduces a security risk, as producers of these components may not design the firmware with cybersecurity top of mind. As a result, they could be vulnerable to firmware hacking, which leads to malware attaching itself to the firmware and remaining hidden without being detected by antivirus and other security tools.

Firmware attacks can come through various vectors, from malware and rootkits to infected hard drives, corrupted drives, and insecure firmware products. Hackers do not have to physically touch a device to carry out an attack. They can do so through remote connections like Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. This means that the growing market of connected devices, such as game consoles, mobile phones, and television, is increasingly becoming vulnerable to firmware hacking.

Enterprises must prioritize firmware security and be aware of the threats they face to prevent hackers from accessing and taking control of their machines. Firmware security is mainly reliant on hardware manufacturers to keep their devices current and safe. As a result, manufacturers create measures that ensure their firmware withstands attacks, as well as release regular patches and updates.

Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices are especially vulnerable to cyberattacks because they often lack the security measures that are built into laptops, mobile phones, and tablets. As a result, IoT devices have become popular targets for attackers to embed malware and malicious code in an attempt to compromise systems.

Device manufacturers increasingly address IoT security by deploying over-the-air (OTA) updates to firmware, a process that reduces disruption and increases the extensibility, reliability, and security of IoT firmware. The updates also patch any bugs that could pose a threat.

Firmware is a microcode or program that is embedded into the memory of hardware devices to help them operate. It enables hardware like cameras, mobile phones, network cards, optical drives, printers, routers, scanners, and television remotes to function smoothly.

A program that informs a device's processor how to begin the startup process is considered firmware. Computers, mobile phones, and tablets rely on firmware like Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) and Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) to load their operating systems.

Firstly, the MC7304 is reaching an EOL and you should be moving to the MC7430 or M.2 version EM7430.
You can find all of the firmware versions on the source.sierrawireless.com
As also mentioned, it is not advised on the MC73xx to downgrade from the 06 to 05 firmware.

If you want more control over when updates are executed or if you'd like to schedule bulk updates, use XMS Cloud. Here you can also activate automatic updates or get notifications whenever new firmware is available.

The ClickShare platform consists of different components: Base Units, Buttons, Apps and the XMS Cloud management platform. Make sure each of these components runs the latest software versions if you want to enjoy the best experience. Updating them is easy, seamless and automated.

Hello, I was wondering if someone were to point me into the right direction. I am looking at my Nimble storage and wondering what is the best firmware update path to take. Currently it is on firmware 5.2.1.800. I was searching through to see what the newest firmware is and its released notes but I cant seem to find that. I am fairly new to managing the nimble storage and looking for some documentation as navigating this keeps me going around in circles here at the HP site.
What is the latest stable nimble firmware?

Main menu: Administration then Software.
Click Download and it will display any versions that are not blocked for your configuration. Unless someone has changed the settings in InfoSight, it should only show any General Availability versions; versions that are suitable for mission-critical systerms.

So we have several PA-200 in production and need to upgrade to 8.0. I was talking to a Palo Alto technician and he was telling me that the PA-200 are too old and not enough resources to handle the newer firmware and to upgrade. Do the PA-220 have enough power. I am assuming so since they are the newer version.

So just to be clear here, the PA-200 completely supports 8.0 and 8.1. You could completely install 8.0 or 8.1 on those PA-200s as you work to get everything upgraded to PA-220s if you so wish. Past that, it isn't expected that the PA-200 will continue to be supported in the next major software release.
