NETGEAR GS728TX Switch Firmware 6.6.1.14 Description

Fixed Issues:

- Fixed the issue where an error alert message displays after enabling/disabling the fiber port with 10G SFP+ module inserted.
- Auto firmware-synchronization fails when a new S3300 unit with firmware version 6.4.0.x joins the stack running with version 6.6.0.x. Since this issue exists with version 6.6.0.14, please upgrade the stack from v6.6.0.x to v6.6.1.4 to resolve it.

Known issues:

- RPS/AC hot swap sometimes (quickly unplug/plug) does not take effect after plugging back the APS1000W power cord. [Workaround]: re-plug the APS1000W power cord slowly.
- Console hang happens in S3300 device, if we press the reset button repeatedly during reload. [Workaround]: Power cycle the switch. Customer needs to be cautious not to press reset button multiple times during boot stage.

Notes:

- The released zip contains switch firmware (s3300-v6.6.1.4.stk) and MIB files. Please unzip the file to extract the switch image for firmware upgrade.
- Please download v6.6.1.4 to both active and inactive (backup) images when upgrading from v6.4.0.x.
- Downgrading from v6.6.1.4 to v6.4.0.x is not allowed.

Limitations:

- EAV (Ethernet Audio Video) feature only supported on a standalone S3300 switch. Standalone here means that all four 10G stacking ports are running in Ethernet mode.
- Only the smart switch that functions as the master unit (either standalone switch or master switch in a stack) can detect and manage an attached USB device.
- The USB device must support USB 2.0.
- The USB device must support the FAT32 or VFAT file type. The NTFS file type is not supported.

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.
