Ubiquiti EdgeSwitch ES-16-XG Switch Firmware 1.6.0 Description

New features:

- [Web UI] Add new "Search" feature in the Web UI. A user can enter keyword(s) in the search textbox to find a list of EdgeSwitch Web UI pages whose title contains the keyword(s).

Enhancements and bug fixes:

- [VLAN] Increase maximum number of "concurrent" VLANs supported to 4093. Previously the limit was 255, and the new limit basically allows all VLANs (from 1 to 4093 supported by the switch) to be used at the same time.
- [VLAN] As discussed before, when a port is set to VLAN "trunk" port, it does not automatically include all VLANs, only those defined in the VLAN database. We have been working on "automatic" trunk port support (automatically including all VLANs for trunk port) but that is not finished yet.
- [VLAN] Optimize Web UI VLAN page to improve loading speed. Since now there could be up to 4093 VLANs (up from 255 before) in the configuration, it could take a long time to load the VLAN page in the Web UI. So the page has been changed to "paginated" and only the data for the current page is loaded to reduce the loading time.
- [System] Extend time range for "scheduled restart" feature to allow scheduling restart up to 7 days in advance. This can be done in the Web UI "Basic > Restart Switch" page or using the CLI.
- [System] Fix more cases where the configuration is considered "changed" even though nothing is changed. As mentioned before, there are various components that could cause the symptom (which is cosmetic only and does not affect the functionality) and we have been fixing these as we find the.
- [System] Improve overheat alert message to include more information
- [Web UI] Fix permission checking to disallow level 1 user to modify VLANs in the Web UI VLAN wizard page.
- [Web UI] Expand the "Processing..." overlay to cover the whole tab while loading the "VLAN wizard" page.
- [Web UI] Fix setting firmware image description on "Basic > Firmware Upgrade" page.
- [CLI] Add "show mac-addr-table" command in user mode (without "enable")
- [Interface] Fix a bug where manual 1G speed setting has no effect on 10G SFP+ ports after switch is restarted, which would cause connectivity issue when 1G SFP module is used in these ports.
- [DHCP snooping] Added mechanism to allow a client that is "dynamically bound" (by DHCP snooping) to move to a different port.
- [DHCP snooping] Fix static DHCP snooping binding configuration (ip dhcp snooping binding vlan interface ). Previously the configuration breaks DHCP for the specified client.
- [DHCP snooping] Add check to prevent client with static binding from getting IP address not matching the configured one
- [DHCP snooping] Fix some issues (both IPv4 and IPv6) with DHCP clients not working correctly when connected to a trusted port.
- [DHCPv6 snooping] Fix issue that prevented clients from obtaining IPv6 address.
- [DHCPv6 snooping] Allow static binding to be configured on the management VLAN
- [DHCPv6 snooping] Allow static binding to be configured when the same dynamic binding already exists
- [DHCPv6 snooping] Fix static binding issue such that clients with static binding can obtain IPv6 address
- [DHCPv6 snooping] Fix issue where static binding stops working after DHCPv6 release is observed
- [SNTP] Add checks for IPv6 and do not attempt to send IPv6 SNTP requests if IPv6 is not enabled. This should prevent the SNTP error messages.
- [MSTP] Fix issue with incorrect port state when a VLAN is on a separate instance

About Switch Firmware:

Given the large variety of models and different methods for upgrading the switch, if you wish to apply this package, we recommend that you read and understand the installation steps before you install a new firmware, even if you are a power user.

Usually the update procedure isn’t much of a hassle as manufacturers try to make it as simple as possible; however, there are cases that are exceptions to this rule. First off, go to the system information page of the switch to check that the currently installed version isn’t either newer or matching this release.

Applying a new firmware can decrease the security vulnerabilities, enhance overall performance and compatibility, improve various power management functions, resolve different errors, and add support for newly developed technologies and protocols.

It is recommended that you perform this step in a steady power environment such as the one ensured by a UPS unit, and that you don’t interrupt the upgrade in any way, because this might cause the switch to malfunction.

That being said, click the download button, get and apply the new version, and check back with our website constantly to stay up to speed with the latest releases. 

  It is highly recommended to always use the most recent driver version available.

Try to set a system restore point before installing a device driver. This will help if you installed an incorrect or mismatched driver. Problems can arise when your hardware device is too old or not supported any longer.
