What's New?

Migration to Oracle Enterprise Linux in NPS Appliance 2.0.0

With this release, the instructions for deploying the NPS Virtual Machines have changed. Starting with the NPS Appliance version 2.0.0, the appliance platform has transitioned to Oracle Enterprise Linux (OEL) from CentOS, which was previously used in version 1.x. The updated steps for deploying version 2.x VMs on VMware ESXi and Microsoft Hyper-V platforms can be found in the Network Passive Sensor release 1.7.1.0 and later.

Automatic upgrades from CentOS to OEL are not supported, so NPS appliances running version 1.3.x will not be able to upgrade automatically to version 2.0.0.
