Bad update on 8 port Gs108eV3

tmittelstaedt Thank you very much for politely and informatively exposing this problem and for your clear warnings. Bravo.

I too ran into problems when I upgraded one of my GS108Ev3 switches (from V2.06.03 to V2.06.24). I had been experimenting with VLAN and was getting some unexpected behaviour, so an upgrade seemed the obvious thing to try.

The documentation appears to suggest that following the upgrade, the GS108Ev3 switch would reboot itself.  But I was left with web page still showing the "Transfer Status" with the progress bar filled 100% for half-an-hour.
I would expect at least "after 5 minutes then refresh the page ..." or whatever.
And when this is fixed, then "Tranferring" could be corrected to "Transferring".

So despite the warning not to, I did everything the above instructions tell me not to do. But I could not get access to the device UI.

Ditto (on my desktop)!

Days later and after much consternation, I came across your warning. I fixed the MTU on my desktop following your instructions.  I now have web access via the device UI.
