IV. Known Issues

1. When using XAUTH with the internal User Database (not RADIUS), you must add the VPN client users to the User Database menu to allow client authentications. In the User Database menu, these VPN clients must be assigned to the group with the name of the VPN policy.
2. When using XAUTH with RADIUS, you must use the "Filter-Id" parameter in the RADIUS profile. For the Filter-Id value, enter the name of the VPN policy used by the VPN client.
3. When using XAUTH with ModeConfig, VPN clients must be assigned to DefaultGroup.
4. Due to these User Database menu modifications, we recommend starting from factory defaults. Alternatively please attempt to upgrade this image in the following manner to avoid factory defaults configuration:
1. Delete all VPN Client policies.
2. Reboot the router.
3. Configure VPN Client policies.
5. If enabled, the Trend Micro enforcement will block all web access for several minutes after bootup. Reduce the server refresh rate to 40 seconds to minimize this delay.
6. You may need to toggle Daylight Savings Time setting after upgrade.
7. If you were having problems with reserved IP addresses in Groups and Hosts, you may need to perform a factory default reset after upgrading to the newer version.
8. Can't ping router's LAN IP over VPN unless you enable WAN response to ping.
