Abstract

This release notes document for Extreme Networks IQ Engine version 10.8.7 details new features, addressed issues, known limitations, and platform support for cloud-managed enterprise wireless access point deployments integrated with ExtremeCloud IQ 25.10.0 and later. The release introduces functional enhancements across Wi‑Fi 6, Wi‑Fi 6E, and Wi‑Fi 7 platforms, including optional NAT and DHCP behavior in client mode, IEEE 802.3az Energy‑Efficient Ethernet support, Wi‑Fi Alliance OpenRoaming, RadSec-based UZTNA authentication, and expanded AirDefense Service Platform (ADSP) capabilities on AP4020, AP4060, and AP5020 models. Addressed issues in this release focus on authentication reliability (802.1X, EAP‑TLS, WPA2/WPA3, legacy PEAP‑MSCHAPv2), Management Frame Protection enforcement, SNMP stability, QoS rate‑limit enforcement, roaming behavior with ECWP fallback, and resilience against driver- and kernel-level failures. A known issue documents boot restrictions related to unsupported micro‑USB console cables. Information about earlier 10.8 maintenance releases is included for reference. The content targets experienced network administrators and wireless engineers managing production-scale IQ Engine environments.
