GS724Tv4, GS728TP FW upgrade path
Hello,
I am planning to upgrade Netgear switches to the latest supported FW versions. I need to know the upgrade path for these upgrades. or is it OK to upgrade directly to the latest version?
Current FW Version Latest FW version Netgear
6.3.1.4 6.3.1.43 GS724Tv4
6.0.1.17 6.0.1.30 GS728TP
6.0.1.16 6.0.1.30 GS728TP

Since the FW versions installed and the latest version available are all on the same version release it would be fine to update directly to the latest. It is recommended to ladder upgrade versions if your current FW is from an older Major/Minor released version.
Still, make a configuration backup and follow the recommended steps from the User Manual. You can always go to the Support page for a copy.
