NETGEAR FS728TPv2 Switch Firmware 5.0.2.42 Description

Bug Fixes:

- Fixes the issue where the connection is lost for few seconds, every 2 to 3 weeks, when IP phones are connected to the switch.
- Fixes the issue where the device view (System > Device View) fails to come up after updating to Java JRE 7u51 (1.7.0_51-b13) or newer versions on the host computer.
- Fixes the issue where the switch might reboot if SNMP is used for monitoring over some period of time.

Known issues:

- While the link is up, port cannot be removed from a VLAN if it is also member of a LAG.
- Workaround: Remove the link or remove the port from the LAG first.
- After setting the maximum number of allowed static locked MAC address to zero (under Security > Traffic Control > Port Security > Interface Configuration), no static MAC address can be added even when port security is disabled.
- Workaround: Change back the "Max Allowed Statically Locked MAC" from 0 to 20.
- Can’t remove a policy entry completely in the table under QoS > Diffserv > Advanced > Policy Configuration the first time.
- Workaround: Need to select the same entry and click DELETE again

- Log into the router’s web user interface.
- Navigate to the firmware upgrade section of your wireless unit.

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.
