New Features and Enhancements:
- For compliance with California state law, the default “password” must be changed after logging into the switch.
- To configure SNMPv3, Authentication Protocol must be configured as MD5 or SHA. The ‘none’ option for Authentication Protocol is no longer allowed. If you upgrade firmware to V6.3.1.33 from an older version, clear your temporary internet files or browser cache to see the new settings.
- Added a new option under “Security > Management Security > SCC Control” to disable or enable Smart Control Center (SCC). It is set to Disable by default. If you upgrade firmware to V6.3.1.33 from an older version from an older version, clear your temporary internet files or browser cache to see the new settings.
Note: The SCC Utility can still discover the switch even if the SCC option is disabled.
Notes :
- SNMP community with public or private community string is removed when you upgrade from a firmware version older than v6.3.1.33.
- Configuration cannot be migrated from older devices (GS716Tv2, GS724Tv3, GS748Tv4) to newer devices (GS716Tv3, GS724Tv4, GS748Tv5).
- The boot time for the newer devices (GS716Tv3, GS724Tv4, GS748Tv5) is about 40 seconds longer than for the older devices (GS716Tv2, GS724Tv3, GS748Tv4).
- During the boot process (about 2 minutes), all LEDs light for the GS716Tv3 and GS724Tv4.
Known Issues:
- Warning messages pop up when the HTTPS admin status is enabled.
[Workaround]: Refresh the GUI screen. - The cable test results sometimes show a much longer value.
