Knox E-FOTA 24.06 release notes

New

Configure gradual rollout

With this release of the Knox E-FOTA API, you can configure a gradual firmware rollout across devices on a campaign. Gradual rollout installs firmware to assigned devices in daily batches, instead of all at once. This feature allows you to identify issues with firmware rollout as they arise, so that problematic or erroneous patches aren’t pushed to all devices at once.

You can configure this setting when you create or update a campaign. Enable this setting with gradualRolloutOn, and configure the size of the daily batches as a percentage with the gradualRolloutNumber body parameter.

Configure firmware downloads over specific SSIDs

With this release of the Knox E-FOTA API, you can configure a campaign to throttle firmware download speeds and allow or block downloads on specific SSIDs. This level of granular control allows you to manage network usage for firmware downloads, and prevent firmware downloads over unauthorized networks.

You can configure this setting when you create or update a campaign. In the request body, throttle SSIDs with the ssidThrottling parameter, and configure an SSID allowlist or blocklist with allowOrBlock and ssidsForRestriction parameters.

Configure custom firmware download time window

With this release of the Knox E-FOTA API, you can configure a campaign to only download firmware within a specified timeframe. This feature allows you to schedule firmware downloads outside peak hours of device and network usage, resulting in smoother network operations during high-demand periods.

You can configure this setting when you create or update a campaign. In the request body, set the downloadTime parameter to 3, and configure a timeframe with fromDownload and toDownload parameters.

Skip privacy policy on Knox E-FOTA client

With this release of the Knox E-FOTA API, you can configure Knox E-FOTA to skip the privacy policy agreement during Knox E-FOTA client enrollment. If configured, no action is needed from the device user when the device is enrolled in Knox E-FOTA, streamlining the setup process.

You can configure this setting with the PUT /privacyPolicy operation, and get the current configuration with GET /privacyPolicy.
