Known Issues:
This AV UI contains the following known issues:
- Stale Spanning Tree Configuration After Firmware Upgrade from AVUI 2.2.13.29:
When upgrading firmware from AVUI 2.2.13.29 to the current release, access port configurations with no spanning-tree port mode may persist. If Dante devices are connected using redundancy ports, this can cause a network loop.
Workaround: Manually clear the stale configuration by setting the affected interfaces back to spanning-tree port mode. - Kramer AV Single-VLAN Profile Cannot Be Modified When Using VLAN 1:
If a Kramer AV profile is created with a single VLAN and that VLAN is VLAN 1, the profile cannot be modified to another single-VLAN profile.
Workaround: Use a VLAN ID other than VLAN 1 when creating a single-VLAN Kramer AV profile.
General Information:
- This switch firmware upgrades AppMgr to version 1.0.6.16
- If the encrypted password in the configuration file does not adhere to the NETGEAR password policy, when the configuration file is loaded on the firmware version 7.0.4.26 or later, you must create a new password during the initial login.
