Firmware 7.3.1.7
Has anyone running a GSM or FSM series L3 managed switch tried firmware 7.3.1.7? I'm really curious about stability of this new release. 7.1.1.7 and 7.2.1.6 were not very stable (IP routing, VLAN, ...
Well, I didn't have a chance to put it through its paces yet, but I thought I'd report my experiences so far.
The switch is linked back to the rest of our network with a single 1Gbps link. It is otherwise disconnected from the stack. It has no hosts or other ports in use for anything. It has its own IP address, different than the stack it was separated from. All IP addresses on the switch were removed or changed after disconnecting from the stack and before reconnecting it to the rest of the network.
It is running MSTP, a routed VLAN, and several unused layer 2 VLANs.
It reloaded yesterday without any apparent reason. Nothing was logged. Not a good sign. That's one of the problems we'd had with previous 7.x.x.x firmwares.
I'm going to try increasing the logging level to see if I can catch why it reloads if it reloads again.
