Feature request : M4300-8X8F - Allow force fans on (quiet mode or rack mode)
In the 12.0.7.15 firmware, the 8X8F switch now has the fans in stopped mode after the switch boots. This was put in for people who use the switch on their desks or for AV use etc. We have these ...
Hi,
Do you add this functionnality in firmware 12.0.9.4 ?
Release notes don't tell anything about this.
Best regards
Not yet, not this one. It's coming! We have the feature ready, it's going to regression testing as I speak. This should be complete by first week of March and then we'll publish a new M4300 maintenance release (new firmware) with that feature explained in released notes. I'll come back to announce it when the new firmware is out.
Best regards,
Hi maindriver, Hi Moduleus , Hi Community
The latest M4300 firmware release 12.0.11.8 is now available on the M4300 support page:
https://www.netgear.com/support/product/m4300.aspx#download
And it comes with the M4300-8X8F (XSM4316S) new command for forcing fan operation, or requesting quiet (fanless) operation when ambient temperature can sustain it.
To enable fans for perpetual fan operation:

(M4300-8X8F) >en(M4300-8X8F) #config
(M4300-8X8F) (Config)#no environment set fan quiet
(M4300-8X8F) (Config)#exit
(M4300-8X8F) #save
This operation may take a few minutes.
Management interfaces will not be available during this time.
Are you sure you want to save? (y/n) yConfig file 'startup-config' created successfully .

To disable fans for fanless operation when ambient temperature is under 25C:
