Note : On the IR8x9 devices, the ir800-universalk9-bundle.SPA.158-3.M bundle can be copied via Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) or SCP to the IR800, and then installed using the bundle install flash: <image name> command. The ir800-universalk9-bundle.SPA.158-3.M.bin file can NOT be directly booted using the boot system flash:/image_name. Detailed instructions are found in the Cisco IR800 Integrated Services Router Software Configuration Guide.
Note : On the IR8x9 devices, the cipher dhe-aes-256-cbc-sha (which is used with the commands ip http client secure-ciphersuite and ip http secure-ciphersuite) is no longer available in IOS 15.6(3)M and later as part of the weak cipher removal process. This cipher was flagged as a security vulnerability.
Note : The cgr1000-universalk9-mz.SPA.158-3.M bundle can be copied via Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) or SCP to the IR800, and then installed using the bundle install flash: <image name> command. The cgr1000-universalk9-mz.SPA.158-3.M.bin file can NOT be directly booted using the boot system flash:/image_name. Detailed instructions are found in the CGR1000 documentation.

[IOX-SS] Change monitrc to allow for infinite tries to restart secure storage
Symptoms : IOx came up in recovery mode because secure storage service didn’t come up.
Secure storage service log shows it failed to come up due to network connectivity to IOS. However, ping command went through fine when entered manually from Guest OS console.
Conditions : This is timing related, triggered by the missing IOS configurations needed for Guest OS networking connectivity at device power up. Secure storage service tried to connect to the server on IOS side and gave up after 5 retries.
Workaround : Restart guest OS VM after the IOS configuration change by "guest-os 1 restart". Or, save the configuration, and reload the router.
Ignition undervoltage millivolts is not persistent on reload
Symptoms : Ignition undervoltage threshold setting in millivolts is not persistent on reload. Volt value is intact, only the decimal value is not persistent.
Workaround : EEM to reconfigure millivolt threshold on device bootup:
The following caveats are fixed with this release:
On the IR800 series, occasionally the GPS status would get stuck in "GPS location cannot be acquired" and not able to recover by itself until an IOS reboot.
■ CSCvm07801 - all IoT Routers
On the IR800 series, SMS triggers a Cellular modem crash.
Symptoms : Upon receiving certain format SMS messages, modem crashes immediately.

■ CSCvm12409 - all IoT Routers
Modem crash action set to wrong value on modem side.
Symptoms : The value was always set to 0 on the modem side.
■ CSCvm19614 - all IoT Routers
The show cellular modem crash-action command displays the opposite of what is configured under the controller.
Symptoms : When "lte modem crash-action boot-and-hold" is configured under controller, the show cellular modem crash-action command displays "reset" and vice-versa.
Controller doesn't show cellular modem USB-Net Driver version.
Symptoms : The 'Driver Version' under the 'show controller cellular <interface>' command shows '<unknown>'.
Re-enable MPDN for the IR807 WP7601 sku and revert GobiUSBNet drivers to 2.50.
Symptoms : MPDN is not supported on the IR807 with the WP7601 modem running the 15.8(3)M release.
Workaround : Re-enable MPDN for the IR807 with the WP7601 modem and revert GobiUSBNet drivers to 2.50.
