 An issue has been identified when onboarding SSR routers installed with older versions of software (such as 5.4.4) to Conductors running 6.3.x, when running in offline-mode. In some cases, certain software packages are not available to be installed during onboarding. To work around this issue, import the **package-based** (the "128T" prefixed) ISO for the current conductor version onto the conductor. This provides the necessary software packages to complete the onboarding process. This issue will be resolved in a future release. 
 
+## Release 7.1.4-3r2
+
+**Release Date:** March 17, 2026
+
+### Resolved Issues
+
+- **I95-64521 Upgrade from 7.1.0-r1 to 7.1.3-r2 failed on SSR440:** Resoved an issue where an upgrade to 7.1.3-r2 on an SSR440 HA router would fail because the system health check failed. The `ha-0-0` interface did not come up during boot (`eth1` comes up instead), causing the system health check to fail. The `ha-0-0` interface is now correctly initialized during upgrades on all SSR4x0 HA configurations.
+------
+- **I95-64543 Onboarding an SSR440 router running 7.1.0 to a conductor running 7.1.3 fails:** Resolved an issue where an older default cipher-string operator had been disallowed and caused the onboarding to fail. All of the following characters are now treated as valid: `. - _ : + @ = , !`.
+
 ## Release 7.1.3-29r2
 
 **Release Date:** March 10, 2026
 
+:::important
+If you have an SSR400 or SSR440, it is strongly recommended that you upgrade to 7.1.4-2r2, and not use 7.1.3-29r2, due to the HA interface upgrade issue I95-64521 mentioned above.

 ### New Features
 
 - **I95-26081 Display negotiated BFD Interval:** The command `show peers bfd-interval` has been added to display the negotiated bfd-interval in three columns, `Rx Timer`, `Tx Timer`, and `Multiplier`. See [Negotiated BFD Intervals](howto_tune_bfd.md#negotiated-bfd-intervals) for more information.
