Enhancements:
- A generic QoS setting is applied in the AV UI for all profiles, allowing improvement of the quality of PTP, audio, and video streams.
Bug Fixes:
- Fixes the issue where a PTP clock synchronization problem occurs when you create AVB and other AV profiles on the same uplink port.
- Fixes the issue where an AVB audio problem occurs when the switch receives multiple broadcast packets.
- Fixes the issue where a switch with SKU number XSM4324FS might not come up with active ports after you reboot the switch.
- Fixes the issue where DHCP packets are not (or incorrectly) forwarded across the VLANs.
- Fixes the issue where a switch with SKU number XSM4316PA or XSM4316PB displays incorrect PoE LED.
Warnings:
- For user passwords, line passwords, and enable passwords that are encrypted with AES in firmware release 12.0.15.7 or earlier releases, automatic migration is supported to the more secure SHA512 in release 12.0.17.6 or later releases.
- User passwords, line passwords, and enable passwords that are encrypted with MD5 (salted) in firmware release 12.0.15.7 or earlier releases are not migrated to release 12.0.17.6 or later releases, so they must be set manually.
- SNMPv3 MD5 and SHA-based passwords from firmware release 12.0.15.7 or earlier releases are not migrated to release 12.0.17.6 or later releases, so they must be set manually.
Known Issues:
In the main UI, the following issue can occur:
- After upgrading from firmware release 12.0.9.x to release 12.0.11.x or later releases, when you use the main UI and you select Routing > Multicast > Mroute Static-Multicast Configuration, the page doesn’t display automatically.
Workaround: After the firmware upgrade, clear your browser cache.
In the AV UI, the following issue can occur:
- You cannot configure both an ACL and a DiffServ policy on the same port.
In the AV UI, the following cosmetic issues can occur on the Configure > Multicast page:
- After configuring “Force Multicast” or “Block Multicast” for a LAG, the configuration is successfully applied to the switch, but no Force or Block icon displays on the LAG port.
- After configuring “Force Multicast” or “Block Multicast” on one or several ports of an M4300-96X switch, the port status information (such as VLAN profiles, colors, and so on) no longer displays.
Workaround: Refresh the AV UI page.
