Firmware Fixes:

  • Log file is not saved before uploading to the web interface.
  • Fixed encrypted argument problem with the RADIUS OpenAPI.
  • Fixed OPEN API Queries on OPENAPI_CLI_SCRIPT that failed to validate.

Known issues:

  • Loop protection may not 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.

  • Either of the protocol IGMP or MLD snooping 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.
