M4300 firwmare 15.4 gone from the website?

Hi, Is there a reason this FW has been removed? We've upgraded about 25 switches to this FW. Some of which reboot as soon as the FW is uploaded, others wait for us to hit reboot. This is ho...

Hi maindriver ,

Yes, we just removed 12.0.15.4 from M4300 download pages because despite our full regression testing (like all new firmware images) we noticed some issues in M4300 stacks in the field. We are working very hard on it as we speak, and we hope to release this new firmware (bringing Auto-Trunk, Auto-LAG, and many security enhancements) as soon as possible.

For the time being, please revert back to 12.0.13.8 for your M4300 stacks.

If you need any support or share your comments, or even discuss with me directly, please never hesitate to contact us/me sending an email to ProAVDesign@netgear.com

I will come back to this thread and comment on the new firmware as soon as it is available.

Regards,

Ok, so if not using stacking, nothing to worry about?

    LaurentMa could you elaborate on the stacking issue ?
    
    is this uptime related, upgrade related, or simply stack being stuck , or others ?
    
    the more details, the better we can know if we're impacted, or how to react.
    
    i also have many switches (all in stack) already to v12.0.15.4 so i'm afraid now on what can happen
    
    thanks
