XSM4348CS can't take Firmware upgrade 12.0.17.10
I have a fairly new ( > 1 year ) XSM-4348CS 10 GigE switch that currently has firmware 12.0.13.7. I have tried several times to upgrade the firmware ( via network) on this unit but it doesn't seem to "take". All the steps execute properly but on reboot, the old firmware is still there. I also have GSM-4352S, XSM-4316PA, and XSM-4324FS switches that took the firmware upgrade just fine. I have even tried completing a "factory Reset" to start back at Square 1 but the upgrade never seems to have completed. Should I try it via the USB Console ?
I welcome any thoughts or comments about this issue...

We have a similar problem with our M4300-24X24F switches that are currently on 12.0.13.7:
They crash and reboot when uploading any new firmware, regardless of the upload method (http, scp, copy from USB stick).
Comparing to a working upgrade, it looks like the crash happens during the upload process before the firmware upgrade itself starts.
The problem isn't fully deterministic, we managed to upgrade 4 of our 6 switches by trying a few times until the upgrade succeeded. On the other two switches, we were not successful even after multiple attempts.
We have not opened a ticket with Netgear yet.
