M4300 Stacking, SDVoE Network and IGMP Failure
Hello, I have 3x M4300-96X switches that were purchased to host an SDVoE network. These switches were installed and configured by a contractor, I am now trying to clean up their work as the init...
Hi Laurent,
Thank you for the super helpful notes! Brandon and I are on the same team working on this project.
After un-stacking and converting the stacking ports to ethernet ports, can we use the 40G ports as interconnects?
We are planning to use our spare switches to start from scratch and build from factory defaults as you suggested. One of the spare switches has 12.3.17.13 firmware, which is later than the current firmware (12.0.17.13) listed on your website: https://www.netgear.com/support/product/m4300#download. Please see the attached image. Should we downgrade the firmware to 12.0.17.13?
Thank you.

Hi Laurent,
We have resolved the issue. We updated the firmware to 12.0.17.13, consolidated 3 switches down to 2, and configured 2x40G LAG ports. Thank you.

Thank you for letting us know, jamnh
I am sorry, it looks I missed your previous question. You did well with the 12.0, but it would have worked with the 12.3 firmware too. The 12.3.17.13 is the firmware that our current Engage controller is using; the only difference is in the API we use between the controller and the switch - the firmware itself is the same as 12.0.17.13. We are waiting for our next maintenance release (early November), and with the new firmware then, there will be no more difference between the standalone firmware and the Engage controller firmware numbering.
Congratulations, and please never hesitate to reach out to us using the ProAVDesign@netgear.com email address, for any questions.
