FSM726 crashing
Hi, we're using two FSM726 connected via a central GSM7224 switch. Both FSM726 switches are crashing from time to time (not at the same time). When this happens no packets are being forwarded...

Sorry to revive this old thread...
But the crashes aren't resolved.
The switch crashed even with newest firmware occasionally perhaps once a month.
Since the last few weeks the switch crashes constantly every 2 or 3 days but all switch ports which where UP at the time of the crash do not experience problems.
But PCs on switch ports that aren't online 24/7 can't connect to the network anymore once the crash happened.
I have to warm boot/reset (not to factory defaults) the switch to get network connectivity for the PC just powered up.
Contacted Netgear and it seems they are willing to replace the unit once i found the receipt ... happy searching :(
