GS728TXS / GS752TXS Firmware Version 6.1.0.39

Bug Fixes:

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 V6.1.0.39 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 V6.1.0.39 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 will be removed if upgrading from firmware version older than v6.1.0.39.
