Network Administration Visualized release notes

Please report bugs at https:/
existing bug reports, go to https:/
If you are upgrading from versions of NAV older than 3.7, please refer to the
release notes of the in-between versions before reading any further.
Known problems
==============
The recommended SNMP library for use with ipdevpoll is `pynetsnmp`. If you
choose to go with the original TwistedSNMP, the latest version (0.3.13)
contains a bug that manifests in table retrieval operations. Timeouts and
retries aren't handled properly, and this may cause slow or otherwise busy
devices to be bombarded with requests from NAV. The `contrib/patches`
directory contains a patch for TwistedSNMP that solves this problem. The
patch has been submitted upstream, but not yet accepted into a new release.
NAV 3.14
========
To see the overview of scheduled features and reported bugs on the 3.14 series
of NAV, please go to https:/
Dependency changes
------------------
- The `pynetsnmp` library is still optional (for the time being) and
recommended, but is **required** if IPv6 SNMP support is needed.
IPv6
----
NAV 3.14 supports SNMP over IPv6, and most of the service monitors can now
also support IP devices with an IPv6 address in NAV. When adding a service
monitor in SeedDB, any monitor that doesn't support IPv6 will be marked as
such.
NAV will also properly configure Cricket with IPv6 addresses, but Cricket's
underlying SNMP library *needs two optional Perl modules* to be installed to
enable IPv6. These modules are:
* `Socket6`
* `IO::Socket::INET6`
On Debian/Ubuntu these two are already in the Recommends list of the
`libsnmp-
on your Apt configuration, they may or may not have been installed
automatically when the `cricket` package was installed.
Files to remove
---------------
If any of the following files and directories are still in your installation
after upgrading to NAV 3.14, they should be removed (installation prefix has
been stripped from these file names). If you installed and upgraded NAV using
a packaging system, you should be able to safely ignore this section::
