In previous releases, Network Telemetry could not be enabled on a VLAN with an IP address if the underlying interface was not also assigned an IP address. In this release, Network Telemetry can be enabled on a VLAN regardless of whether the underlying interface has an IP address.

Network Telemetry is an add-on package. After you upgrade to LMOS 7.2.48.5, do one of the following to get the latest package:

  • If you're installing Network Telemetry for the first time, navigate to Network Telemetry in the LoadMaster main menu and click Install to get the latest add-on package.
  • If you installed Network Telemetry on an earlier release, then after upgrading to LMOS 7.2.48.5 you can get the latest version of the add-on as follows:
    1. Go to the LoadMaster Add-on Packages page on the Kemp website.
    2. Click on the Network Telemetry Flowmon Add-On link.
    3. The download page lists the add-on packages for both the latest GA release and for the LTS (Long Term Support) release. Click on the link for the 7.2.48.5 add-on.
    4. Once the download is complete, unzip the archive. There will be two files: the add-on image and an XML file.
    5. Navigate to System Configuration > System Administration > Software Update in the LoadMaster UI.
    6. Click the Browse buttons to upload the software package and the XML verification file.
    7. Once the files are uploaded, click Install Addon Package.
    8. Once the package is installed, click OK on the confirmation message that appears. The Version Installed in the screen above should now be 7.2.48.5.nnnnn.RELEASE.

Note: In a small number of cases, LoadMaster needs to be rebooted to complete the add-on upgrade. If the Flowmon add-on package appears in red text in the screen above, a reboot is required. Navigate to System Configuration > System Administration > Reboot System and click Reboot. Otherwise, the package is ready to use after you install or update it.
