I suspect that their is a minor issue with the Q box. Overall everything has been stable. 252 has not shown any port flapping or link changes in 24h.
Upon reset to defaults on Friday, I noted a log that stated something like 'settings not compatible with current firmware'. Sadly I didn't capture that message.
Conclusions
I started out upgrading initial fw to .18 with a reset to defaults back then, then .19 about a year ago then .22 a few months ago.
