Issues fixed since 1.0.4.6:
- Port LED and System LED on device view were always on even when disabled.
- Firmware version and Boot code information available in local browser interface.
Insight Issues fixed:
- Ethernet speed configuration for SFP+ ports from the NETGEAR Insight App.
Known issues on 1.0.4.8:
- Sometimes loop protection doesn't work between two Insight-managed switches
Workaround: disable IGMP snooping on the switch
- One ACL can bind to 24 VLANs only
Workaround: Bind ACL to the port instead of VLANs.
- All two models have both IGMP Snooping and MLD Snooping enabled globally and on VLAN 1, by default. When you disable IGMP Snooping, MLD Snooping is still enabled. MLD Snooping filters unknown IPv4 multicast out, like how IGMP Snooping causes IPv6 multicasts. If either protocol is enabled on a VLAN or globally, both IPv4 and IPv6 unknown multicast packets will be dropped.
Workaround: Enable/disable IGMP snooping and MLD Snooping simultaneously.
Operational Notes:
- After updating to the latest firmware, make sure to update to the latest version of the NETGEAR Insight app for the best functionality and user experience.
