Firmware 10.x on GSM7328FS ("v1")
G'day I've seen that 10.0.0.19 is now (wasn't initially) listed incompatible for the GSM7328FS. I do know that in some countries the M5300 line with a 24-Port SFP model was launched, but I hope GS...
Thanks, it also seems that the GSM7228PS is not able to flash the 10.0.0.19 firmware I have tried it on one. It reports back with an error that it's not a firmware intended for this box after uploading via TFTP. Although this Firmware is listed on the support portal for this box, I guess all L2+/L3 managed switches with 32MB flash will not receive 10.x and stay on 8.x.
I guessed and now somehow get confirmed that this can be a difference to other vendors. It's EoL when it's on this list, no previous announcements that it's going to be EoL'ed in which removes some planeability.
I'm definitely fine with such a policy granted that Netgear managed switches offer a solid and large feature set at a much lower cost point - including lifetime warranty - so that I can afford more of switches for the same buck than from other vendors, and still keep 1-2 spares around if one goes belly-up :)
