Feature IDFeatureDescription
XIQ-46592ExtremeCloud IQ AirDefense SupportExtremeCloud IQ supports AirDefense on Prem (ADSP) for AP5020.
XIQ-42997AP4060/X Indoor/Outdoor ConfigurationAdded configuration options for AP4060 and AP4060X to support indoor and outdoor modes through Device360 and device templates. The AP4060 model additionally supports vertical and horizontal orientation settings, enabling administrators to configure and modify deployment modes at any time.
XIQ-41840Standards-Based GRE Failover SettingsAdded failover IP address configuration for standards-based GRE tunneling to enable geographic redundancy. Access points can now automatically fail over from a primary tunnel endpoint to a secondary datacenter location when the primary tunnel state changes to down, with fail-back capability to the primary endpoint.
XIQ-41152Automated Configuration Push to Tunnel ConcentratorAdded configuration pushes to Tunnel Concentrators that were not automatically triggered when AP IP addresses changed due to AP or router power cycles, resulting in manual intervention requirements.
XIQ-40825IQ Engine Version Support EnhancementAdded support for IQ Engine versions 10.7r5b for AX access points (4000/U, 650, 302W), 10.7r5c for 11ax and 6E access points (3000/X, 5010/U, 5050U/D), and 10.8r1a for AP4020/5020 models..
XIQ-40498EXOS/Switch Engine 31.7.4.2 SupportAdded onboard, monitor, and configuration support for EXOS/Switch Engine version 31.7.4.2 across all XIQ-supported EXOS/Switch Engine SKUs via local image management.
XIQ-39770EXOS/Switch Engine 32.7.2 SupportAdded onboard, monitor, and configuration support for EXOS/Switch Engine version 32.7.2 across all XIQ-supported EXOS/Switch Engine SKUs via local image management.
XIQ-39769EXOS/Switch Engine 32.7.2 Download SupportAdded download image support for EXOS/Switch Engine version 32.7.2, making it available as the latest image for all supported single and stacked EXOS/Switch Engine SKUs in the global image download dropdown.
XIQ-39125Fabric Engine/VOSS 9.2 SupportAdded support for Fabric Engine/VOSS version 9.2 including onboard, monitor, configuration, and image management capabilities for Universal switches, VSP7400, and VSP4900. The implementation includes IQAgent validation with user-controlled downgrade capability.
XIQ-39122Fabric Engine/VOSS 9.1.1 SupportAdded support for Fabric Engine/VOSS version 9.1.1 including onboard, monitor, configuration, and download capabilities for all supported VOSS/Fabric Engine SKUs (5000 and 7000 series Universal Switches, VSP7400, VSP4900).
XIQ-38315Enhanced Packet Capture for AP5050U/DAddressed the issue where AP5050U/D models were using legacy packet capture instead of enhanced packet capture. The implementation now provides proper filter configuration matching the AP5010 enhanced packet capture functionality.
XIQ-38166802.3az Green Ethernet Support for AP4020Added 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet support for the AP4020 access point model, matching the functionality previously available on other platform models.
XIQ-37137Network Policy SSID Loading PerformanceAdded a new API endpoint to improve SSID profile loading performance in Network Policy wireless networks section. The optimized API returns only essential SSID information (name, access security, VLAN) reducing load times that previously reached 13 seconds in production environments.
XIQ-36988LLDP Enabled by Default for AP4020Addressed the issue with Fabric Attach AutoSense functionality by enabling LLDP by default for unconfigured AP4020 access points. The implementation includes immediate FA LLDP packet transmission after port up and triggered responses to FA-LLDP packets from VOSS/Fabric Engine switches.
XIQ-35885Dynamic Packet Capture Disable OptionsAdded configuration toggle to disable Dynamic Packet Capture at the SSID level while maintaining Client Monitor functionality. Administrators can now independently control DPC and Client Monitor states, with automatic DPC disablement when Client Monitor is turned off.
XIQ-35778Enhanced Client Roaming VisualizationAdded improved visual display for client roaming with consolidated map and timeline presentation. The interface now shows roaming quality indicators through red/green chips, distinguishes actual roams from disconnect/connect events, and displays roaming details including reason codes and neighbor APs for supported clients (Zebra, Intel agent-based).
XIQ-35718Map Rotation During Floor CreationAdded capability to rotate floor background images during floor creation and import. Administrators can now persist rotated backgrounds during upload and adjust map viewing perspectives at any time without data persistence for improved floor visualization.
XIQ-35542HotSpot 2.0 Configuration for AP5020Added Hotspot 2.0 configuration support in XIQ SSID settings for the AP5020 access point model.
XIQ-35418Uplink MU-MIMO Support for AP4020Added uplink multi-user MIMO configuration capability for the AP4020 access point, enabling directional MU-MIMO settings with compatibility for Intel BE200L client devices.
XIQ-35239WiFi Mesh Support for AP4020Added wireless bridging and mesh support for AP4020 access points across 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz bands, enabling mesh connectivity between AP5000 models and between AP5000 and AP4000 models.
XIQ-35231AP4020 General Availability FeaturesAdded standard feature set support for AP5020-WW including Private Client Group, Fabric Attach, and container support in kernel.
XIQ-32605Uplink MU-MIMO Support for AP5020Added uplink multi-user MIMO configuration capability for the AP5020 access point with WiFi 7 11BE support, enabling directional MU-MIMO settings compatible with Intel BE200L client devices.
XIQ-32319IoT Scan Duplicate Entry RemovalAdded configurable toggle to remove duplicate tag entries from HTTP post within specified time intervals for AP5020/4020 IoT scans, providing administrators with control over redundant entry transmission.
XIQ-31831Organizational Settings and Administration ReorganizationReorganized global organizational settings and administration navigation to align with role visibility and hierarchical structure management. The implementation improves administrative access control and settings organization for new customer onboarding.
XIQ-31301IQ Engine 10.8r1 SupportAdded support for IQ Engine version 10.8r1 across supported access point platforms.
XIQ-26459Imagotag/ESL Dongle Support for AP5020Added support for SES Imagotag electronic shelf label dongles on the AP5020 access point platform.
