NDMS 5.0 Beta 1

11/09/2025

New

Further improvements to the Mesh Wi-Fi System allow an Extender’s built-in 4G/3G modem to be used as the primary or a backup Internet connection. When a compatible Extender is detected, the Controller automatically creates a dedicated MwsMobile interface and manages the connection like any other, including its use in Connection Policies. SMS and USSD modem options are available directly in the Extender’s Web Interface, which can be opened via a link on the Controller’s Wi-Fi System page. [NDM-4027]
The Port Forwarding page now supports IPv6 Pinholing, letting you open TCP and UDP ports to provide external access from the Internet to devices on your home network that use IPv6 addresses. [NWI-4213]
Added support for the Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) v2 and v3, configurable via the command line interface (CLI). This enables redundant routing across multiple routers. To use it, install the VRRP support system component. [SYS-1443]
- interface {name} vrrp group {group} ip {ip} — set virtual IP address for the group;
- interface {name} vrrp group {group} priority {priority} — set priority (integer in the range 0 to 255), the device with the numerically highest priority becomes the master in the group;
- interface {name} vrrp group {group} advertise {advertise} — set advertisement interval in seconds (integer in the range 1 to 255, the default is 1);
- interface {name} vrrp version {version} — set protocol version, supported values:
  - default — use version 2 for IPv4 and version 3 for IPv6;
  - v2 — strict compliance to VRRP version 2:
    zero VIPs are not allowed;
    unicast peers are not allowed;
    IPv6 addresses are not allowed;
    state MASTER can be configured strictly when priority is 255;
  - v3 — compliance to VRRP version 3 for both IPv4 and IPv6;
  - v3-compat — VRRPv3 compatibility mode for interoperability with implementations (such as Cisco and Juniper) that treat RFC 5798 §5.2.8 as applying only to IPv6. When enabled, the router includes the IPv4 pseudo-header but omits it from the IPv4 checksum calculation;
- show interface {name} vrrp — display the VRRP status.

Fixed

The following fixes have been applied to the Web Interface.
- Fixed several issues with the WireGuard VPN Server configuration. [NWI-4372] [Forum topic]
- Fixed display issues affecting the Clients tooltip in the nodes list on the Mesh Wi-Fi System page. [NWI-4379] [Forum topic]
