Overview
This article describes the solution for a known issue in which the CrashPlan app does not apply the TCP packet QoS priority settings.
Affects
Code42 environments that both:
- Use IPv4 (or a mix of IPv4 and IPv6)
- Use CrashPlan app version 4.7.0 or later
Considerations
- This solution is only available for devices using CrashPlan app version 4.7.0 and later.
- You must repeat these steps each time you upgrade the CrashPlan app. These changes are reverted during the upgrade process.
Before you begin
For customers with an on-premises authority server, you must upgrade your Code42 environment to Code42 server version 5.3.0 and CrashPlan app 4.7.0 or later.
