TNSR 20.10 Release Notes¶
About This Release¶
This is a regularly scheduled TNSR release including new features and bug fixes.
For information on updating to TNSR 20.10, see Updates and Packages.
Warning
TNSR Home+Lab installations cannot be updated. Reinstall with TNSR Business or install a new version of TNSR Home+Lab. See Configuration Backups for information on backing up and restoring configurations.
Note
TNSR Home+Lab users can keep running their existing version and update only the operating system components as needed.
All versions of TNSR, including Home+Lab, can update the operating system even without the TNSR update certificate in place. Only TNSR-related packages require authentication to update.
General¶
The Deterministic NAT feature has been deprecated and will be removed in the next version of TNSR.
Mellanox interface names may change when upgrading to TNSR 20.10 due to changes in the driver. The best practice to work around such issues is to migrate to custom interface names before upgrading (Customizing Interface Names).
