GSM7312 upgrade
Hi, I have a GSM7312 running a very old software version - 3.0.3.2. Latest available version is 6.2.0.14. In the release notes there isn't a word about proper upgrade paths. So questions: 1) ...
I'm fairly sure:
I'm also fairly sure a direct upgrade to 6.x will brick it:

Support team tells me "we can't provide you 5.x, go for the lowest 6.x and upgrade sequentially to the latest version". I don't think I'll play this game of poker :)
Thanks for the link to the old thread. :)
The link to the old firmware versions for the GSM7312 were removed. However, I found the link to the GSM7312 firmware v5.1.1.3. Kindly download it here and upgrade the switch firmware. Afterwards, do a ladderized upgrade to firmware v6.0.0.15 up to the latest firmware which is v6.2.0.14.
Note: Please read the instructions and release notes on the zip file.

Yep, support team found it as well :) The thing is that in 6.2.x release notes there is nothing about upgrade paths, etc. so I was worried for a reason. We'll buy a backup switch before we attempt any upgrades, that is for sure.
