n
FindMe" i.e. FindMe without Cisco TMSPE.
CPL location node supports regex-based source alias rewriting.

n
the System host name, which is used as the default name, exceeds 15 characters.

SIP network logging at the DEBUG level now includes the local address and port (as well as the
n
destination/source information).
You can specify the transport type to use for SIP calls from a DNS zone, when DNS NAPTR records and

SIP URI parameters do not provide the preferred transport information.

n
All pre-existing option keys have an Unlimited validity period.
Filtering options are only displayed on status and list pages if there is more than one page of information to
n
display. Status and list pages show 200 records per page, except for Log pages which show 1000 records
per page.
When configuring firewall rules:
n
You can choose whether to drop or reject denied traffic. Note that on upgrade to X8.1, any existing
l
"deny" rules will now drop the traffic; prior to X8.1 the traffic would have been rejected.
If you have made several changes there is now an option to revert all changes. This discards all pending
l
changes and resets the working copy of the rules to match the current active rules.
You can more easily change the order of the rules by using up/down arrow buttons to swap the priorities
l
of adjacent rules.
Rules can be configured for XMPP traffic.

The Search rules page now indicates if the target zone of a rule is unavailable.
