NETGEAR FS728TS Switch Firmware 3.0.0.29 Description

Important Note:

- Please make sure the bootcode version of your FS700TS smart switch is V1.0.0.8 before upgrading the firmware to this version.
- Please read the upgrade and downgrade instruction carefully before upgrading to the firmware version or downgrading to older firmware. Improper upgrade procedure may cause the device to become inoperable and must be replaced

Bug Fixes:

- Fixed the bug that System Up Time (sysUpTime) obtained via SNMP is incorrect.

Limitations and Known Issues:

- Only members of default VLAN (VLAN ID of 1) can manage the switch.
- Changing the default PVID would automatically remove the port from VLAN 1.
- Refreshing the page (Ctrl+F5) will always bring you back to the first page, which is the System Information page. Workaround: Please manually navigate to the desired page again.
- The VLAN name does not get displayed correctly in the Multicast Group configuration table under Switching > Multicast > Advanced page. Workaround: This does not prevent you from creating the multicast group, as long as the correct VLAN ID is selected.
- The display format of Local Engine ID is inconsistent with the input format under System > SNMP > SNMPv3 > Engine ID page. The display format is with colon “:” (eg. 00:e3:ab:cd:12:56). But, the input format must be without the colon (eg. 00e3abcd1256). Workaround: Please enter the Engine ID without the colon. It will be fixed in the next release.
- Authentication method is not shown after configuring it under System > SNMP > SNMPv3 > User Configuration page. Workaround: None. It will be fixed in the next release.

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.
