This Article Applies to:

 

ER605_V2_2.2.0 Build 20230629

 

Issue Description/Phenomenon:

 

Recently we received feedback regarding the OpenVPN failure issue after the new firmware upgrade of ER605 V2 2.2.0 Build 20230629. Before the firmware upgrade, the existing OpenVPN Server(s) configured on ER605 v2 via the Omada Controller are working properly. After the firmware upgrade, OpenVPN stopped working, when trying to delete the exsiting configuration or attempting to re-create new ones, the controller may pop up with the error of "Common errors for VPN policies".

 

Note that the issue only occurred with ER605 V2 in Controller mode, that is, the issue does not exist with the ER605 V2 in Standalone mode.

Hi @QSentral 

Thanks for posting in our business forum.

This issue only exists on the ER605 V2 with 2.2.0 firmware during that period of time and 2.2.0 was removed from anywhere on our official sites. V2 firmware is also not applicable to the V1 hardware.

Full-screen screenshot of your error. Firmware with the exact build of your device. Omada Controller type and version.

Hi @QSentral

What happened before this error popped up? Did you update the firmware of the controller? Or the router?

What has been changed recently?

 

I think you can follow the original solution to fix this. Forget and readopt the ER605.

In the meantime, I cannot guarantee there will be firmware to fix this recently on ER605 V1 as it is EOL. TP-Link End of Life Products
