New in Version 31.0.8.0
Graceful Health Check Edit
When a health check attached to a group or real server is changed (either by attaching a new health check ID or by editing the health check parameters), after Apply the status of the health check is preserved. In earlier versions, the status of an edited health check immediately after Apply failed, causing the server’s status to temporarily change to Down.
Note: The status of the health check is not preserved after the change in the following cases:
If the destination port of the health check is changed, either by changing it directly in the health check object or by changing it in the virtual service or real server.If the host name is configured as Inherit in the HTTP/HTTPS health check and the virtual service host name is changed.If a basic health check is replaced by a logical expression health check, if the old basic health check had a user-defined destination port that was different from service/server port.NFR ID: prod00252740, prod00261070
LinkProof MAC Overwrite
If during a LinkProof tunnel session packets start to arrive from a different router (a different source MAC address) than had been set for the session entry, the session entry is updated and the packet is returned to the new MAC address.

Packet Capture Enhancements
Starting with this version, the data capture file size has been increased to hold 1 GB of data. As the mechanism of data capture has also been updated, at any point of time when the packet capture file is downloaded, it holds the latest data of 1 GB. The enhancement is also for Alteon VA.

AppWall now includes support for defining the username format as it is being sent to the user datastore. There are now three optional formats:

Allow Local and Remote Authentication
When Alteon management users are authenticated using remote authentication (RADIUS or TACACS), you now can also allow local users. When this capability is enabled (with the new User Authentication Priority parameter set to Local First), Alteon first tries to authenticate the user locally, and if it fails it uses remote authentication.
