Prosafe 8 port switch model GS108v3 firmware issue
I need the orginal factory firmware that came with the GS108v3 8 port switch. The Pro Safe configuration software identifies it as model GS108E* but the model number on the switch itself is GS108v3. ...
I was suprised as well and it did have a web management interface which according the specs it shouldnt have. I went and ordered a new GS108e managed switch today to replace it for peace of mind so I am gtg.
Thanks for your help
Firmware discrepancies like these can be quite perplexing, especially if the management application indicates a different model than the hardware. I've encountered similar situations in other systems where the gadget still works but advanced functionalities are inaccessible.
In other debugging instances, I found it helpful to study comprehensive, step-by-step breakdowns of how systems act when firmware or configuration do not entirely match the hardware. I found several good structured troubleshooting examples that describe this type of behavior fairly well, even outside of networking scenarios.
I'm glad to see that this was finally handled.
